Ch. 24.

(Traci + Natasha)

No rambling here just some key points you need to look out for if you feel any confusion from this chapter.

(Thomas a.k.a Rick if you need a refresher on him he appeared in Ch. 16 he was not supposed to die at all in this story but for other purposes we had to cut him and his role with helping Elena and Camron to escape wasn't needed anymore.)

(Natalie Aka Gwen also appeared in Ch. 16 she isn't important in this story but we had to add her in since she is helping Carmen kidnapped Elena's Baby and since she is the one that saw Elena and Camron escaped.)

(Harold Jones aka Carmen's lawyer this was his first and last appearance he's a crucial part to the story which we aren't going to revealed just yet but I'm pretty sure you guys will figured it out before then but keep in mind he also a slight downfall to a lead character. )

(Mystery Murderer that killed Carmen's Lawyer just so you know before you assume Carmen is not the reason for his Death …. he is someone you least expect in fact Carmen didn't have anything to do with his Death)….

Just wanna thank you guys for sticking it out with us on this story we are truly sorry for the Lack of Updates School, Work , and just Life as got in the way of writing for us this chapter was partially halfway finish and we're just now finishing it together it's also not our favorite or finest chapter because we both feel it's rushed but we also didn't want it sitting there collecting dust either trying to wrack on ways to make it perfect so we Truly appreciate you guys and if it's crappy to you we fully apologized lol

Anyway we're not gonna hold you guys up…

(to love this)

And all our (Guest Reviewers) much love to all of you…Now let's begin …

"You're honor my client has made a list of supplications that he will provide for Ms. Guyton once the baby is here the list" Huey's lawyer said pulling out the documented contract that Huey had written up he had specially prepared this and he was not gonna let Carmen get a one up on him just because she was carrying his child.

"Read them" the judge ordered sitting back patience.

"Yes you're honor the list states as follow" the lawyer continued

"Number one Ms. Guyton will receive a monthly check of four thousand dollars a month now and once the baby is born

"And additional cost will be handled personally by Mr. Freeman himself he also asked that the money he contributes to child he wants to see full receipts and paperwork showing that the money was spent solely on the child and nothing else"

"What !" Carmen exclaimed angrily sitting up. Making the lawyer pause Huey just rolled his eyes he knew the money was the main thing she was in this pregnancy for but Huey was going to make sure she had no power over that.

"Ms. Guyton do you need to be removed" The judge said sternly. "No" she spat out biting her lip furiously.

"Please proceed" the judge gestured to the lawyer.

"Yes, your honor Number Two Mr. Freeman states that he would like to be at every doctor's appointment that Ms. Guyton attends to so that he can stay update and in track of the child"

"This is bullshit you don't even think this baby is yours" Carmen busted out again. This wasn't going well at all for her how the hell was she going to hide her secrete if Huey was there every waking moment now she had to set up fake doctor's appointments too.

"I don't but once I find out I intend to be father to my child thoroughly and fully as I can and I see nothing wrong with making sure that my child is born healthy and getting the proper care" Huey said smoothly.

Carmen blistered hotly at this as she shut her mouth before she said anything stupid.

"Number three Mr. Freeman wants the court to give a Dna test on the child he feels that Ms. Guyton could some way tamper with the evidence in some way and he wants to be actually sure this is his child.

Unfortunately Carmen went back on her word not saying anything stupid .

"You Got to be fucking Joking this nigga has lost his damn mind" Carmen screamed standing up.

Huey almost snickered at her reaction but kept a blank face so the judge whose face now livid glared at her.

"Ms. Guyton since you are incapable of being silent through this proceeding I will grant all of Mr. Freeman's request "the Judge stated.

"But ...your honor..." Carmen begged now looking at him horror.

"Please proceed I would like to finish this and go" the judge ignored her saying to the lawyer who nodded. He then turned to Huey

"Mr. Freeman consider everything you want will be granted judging by Ms. Guyton's behavior I would too have doubt myself" he said snidely making her spluttered indignantly.

"Thank you your honor I have one more request if you would consider it I want to have a gag order placed upon Carmen for the protection of my girlfriend Jazmine Dubois despite the issues we both may have with each other I don't want her taking them out on her by using social media or spreading false news to the public" Huey said quietly enjoying the look of rage on Carmen's face.

"I think that is fair Mr. Freeman but I would grant the order against you as well so that it would be placed on the both of you I feel it's only right that you can't go out speaking ill on Ms. Guyton's name as well"

"That's completely fine with me your honor" Huey replied respectively he had no intention of speaking on Carmen or anything about their situation he had no desire for people to be in their business more than they already were.

"Yes your honor I hope you will put one on his brother who can't keep my name out of his mouth" Carmen cut in barely controlling the anger in her voice.

"Brother" The judge said looking in confusion Huey almost rolled his eyes he had forgotten about his big mouthed brother

he could guarantee that he would keep his mouth shut but Riley was another matter.

"My brother Yung Reezy is not a fan of Carmen your honor and has the tendency to speak out about her even though I have told him several times to keep his mouth shut he still continues to do what he wants I have no control over his actions on what he says about Carmen sir" Huey explained.

"Right well Ms. Carmen I can't do anything about that unless you put in a request for a gag against him as well but since you two don't have a valid case against each other that would be hard to do now if that is all I have other matters to attend too" The judge said swiftly standing up.

"But your honor." Carmen protested. But the man quickly ignored her "Good day to you Ms. Guyton and Mr. Freeman I hope that between now and then this will help work out a mutual agreement between the both of you and keep in mind that a child is involved and I would hope that the both of you would want him and her to come into this world with a peaceful start" the judge said firmly a look of no nonsense sharp on his face.

"That's exactly what I want your honor I thank you for your time" Huey replied politely just as the man left the room.

The moment he was gone Carmen pounced onto Huey like some lost alley cat looking for food "

"You piece of shit…fuc"

"I would suggest you watch your language Carmen and keep your day job you won't be living off me no time soon"" Huey cut her off coldly. Leaving her steaming as he and his lawyer walked out the room….

Thomas walked nervously but quickly as he made it back to Camron's room the Guard keeping watch looked bored and tired but straighten up quickly once he seen Thomas coming with the lunch tray.

"I can't wait till this shit over the man" complained turning around to unlocked Camron's door Thomas kept silent as he watched him pulled out the keys. "day in and day night at least the pay is worth it " the guard continued. "What about you man…..HEY WHAT THE FUCK.."

"WHAM" Thomas slammed the tray of food on the top his forehead hard knocking him out cold. He checked carefully to make sure he was fully knocked out before he snatched the keys from his grip.

Unlocking the door quickly he found a startled Camron looking at him his eyes darting wildly at him and the unconscious guard before him.

"It's me" Thomas hissed at him until Camron's eyes raised in recognition "Come on I need your help" Thomas said gesturing to him as he ran out the open door as he tried to dragged the sleeping guard into the room.

"Fuck him I need to find Elena" Camron said shaking his head running out the room quickly.

"And risked getting us all caught if he wakes up that cuts down our chances of escape as long as we have him locked up in here we'll be able to get out without nobody slowing us down" Thomas snapped at him trying to move the heavy body into Camron's room/

"I don't care I feel like I'm wasting my time not getting to Elena right now" Camron hissed frantically practically fighting the urge to take off and run off.

"Yeah we'll if we all get caught none of that will matter because the worst will happen and Elena will never get out of here and Carmen will have her child plus you don't even know where she is or what we have to do to get to her it isn't guarded too" Thomas shot back.

Bring Camron back to reality he was right if he didn't play his card right that would only put all of them in jeopardy and all of this would be for nothing.

"Okay" Camron said calming down he then walked over to the other side of the body that Thomas was trying to dragged into his room and grabbed his legs both men took deep breathes before using their upper strength to move the man body's in once finished with their task Thomas then removed the guard's clothes and they left the room quickly and shut the door behind listening to the automatic lock go in place.

"Now we find Elena" Camron demanded. Ready to take off "We'll get to her but put these on you can't walk around wandering in this place like that" Thomas pushed the uniform at him.

"Fine" Camron said impatiently taking the clothes. He wasted no time throwing the uniform on he didn't want to spare a minute not finding Elena.

"Let's go" Camron demanded once dressed Thomas nodded and led the way…

Intro{ If young metro don't trust you imma shoot you}

"Getting this money is the motive , Trust and Believe niggas hate when your doing well,

Call that ho missing in action , but she do it well with that mouth action.

I do it well

"Aye cut that off for a minute I got a call" Riley said waving at his Dj and moving from the mike. Riley was in a prime zone right now and his music was making high waves on the charts right now plus his relationship with Cindy was better than ever.

Speak of the devil.

"What's up Bae" Riley grinned answering his phone "Nothing much bae , you still at the studio ?'' Cindy replied grinning back just as hard on the other side of the phone.

"Yeah but I'll be done shortly I ain't trying to stay here all day when I can be laid up with my woman" Riley said .

"Yeah I better be the only woman you trying to lay up with too" Cindy teased .

"Girl quit playing with me you know I only got eyes for your fine ass but I know you bet not have another nigga sniffing up on what's mines or we gonna have some issues ya dig" Riley smirked before frowning at the memory of Cindy's last boyfriend.

"Nah the only nigga I want is Yung Reezy ya feel me" Cindy giggled making the two both snort into laughter.

"Man girl shut up , let me finish this track up and I'll tend to you soon enough" Riley replied his tone suggestive.

"Alright bae" Cindy giggled before hanging up just as Cairo walked in the studio looking miserable.

It was clear as day to see that he still wasn't over that mystery chick damn who was this ho that had this nigga head up in the clouds.

"Damn nigga it's been a couple months now you still moping over ole girl why don't you go look for her already" Riley said shaking his head ever since he got back with Cindy he had been feeling optimist about love and his relationship now.

"Nigga if I knew her name or where she was don't you think I would" Cairo sighed tiredly.

"Well sitting on your ass not finding her ass ain't gonna help you find her why don't use Facebook or Instagram nigga you can find anybody on that shit or take your ass back to that diner and ask one of those females there who she is ain't that where you see her ass at in the first place" Riley replied.

Riley was actually onto something that never occurred to him at that all why didn't he just go back the diner in the first place.

"Damn Riley your absolutely right" Cairo said standing up excitedly.

"No shit Sherlock" Riley snickered rolling his eyes. "I take it your bitch ass about to go look for her ass then" watching Cairo now grabbed his phone and car keys.

"Um yeah about that track we can finished as soon I get back" Cairo looked at him smiling sheepishly

"Man, nigga just go I'm thinking about cutting my session short anyway to go see Cindy" Riley smirked now thinking about his woman….

"Cool then" Cairo grinned leaving immediately….

"What do you mean you can't do anything Harold" Carmen screamed slamming her hand on her lawyer's desk. She was currently in his office trying to find a loophole in Huey's demands'

"Look Ms. Guyton what Mr. Freeman has put on the table seems pretty fair he's willing to step up and be a father to your child which makes it harder for the court to demand or asked more of him if he was refusing the child and not wanting to pay custody then it would have been a different story not to mentioned a paternity test also needs to be done so it's pretty much out of my hands" Her lawyer replied tiredly and annoyed. Rubbing his forehead as he went over the papers.

The order was straight and there was no way he could break through it.

"Do you understand how much I pay you or have you forgot that you worthless bum I can make your life a living hell you do know that I know things about you that you wouldn't want to go to the public" Carmen seethed.

"I'm quite aware Ms. Guyton but I also have information on you as well for years I sat back and let you run all over me for and do what you want awhile watching you collect information on people to blackmail them into doing your bidding I also took the liberty of collecting information about you for my own personal use I also know that baby your carrying is a complete fake there is no baby and your using some random girl off the street unborn child to take the place of the baby your trying to pawn off as Mr. Freedom's so if you think you can come in my office and threaten me then you are quite mistaken you pathetic conniving stupid bitch I told you there is nothing I can do so if you want to spread my personal secretes to the public then you better believe I will expose yours just as well" her lawyer snapped back coldly.

He was tired of hiding his affair with his local pool boy that lived down the street from him dammit he was in love and he was tired of hiding that he was gay anymore so if Carmen wanted to out him she could but best believe he was going to bring her ass down with him.

He felt a great relish as the infuriated woman now snatched her head back in great rage and fear mixed with astonishment.

"You…can't …..talk to me …that way…" Carmen spluttered hotly.

"I just did so you can take heed with what I said and get the fuck outta here if you want me to keep my mouth shut and also I quit find somebody else to fight on your behalf" Harold said proudly.

"You'll pay for this" Carmen fumed. Making him laughed he wasn't bothered anymore Carmen had way more to lose then he did.

"Yeah whatever Ms. Guyton …ahhh looked at the time it's time for Quality time Dalton Good day you Gold digging sour whore" Harold smiled getting up and opening the door for her.

"Like I said you …..Will pay" Carmen shot out her eyes gleaming with fury as she walked out.

"um hmm sure" Harold smirked at her.

Once she was gone Harold went back to his desk and pulled out a thick envelope "Just in case anything happens to me Carmen just know that you will regret it" he muttered to himself just as his sectary walked in.

"Is there anything I can do for you Mr. Jones" she asked looking worried she had obviously heard the commotion from his meeting with Carmen

"Yes, Aria remember that talk me and you had?" Harold said seriously

"Yes sir" she nodded vigorously

"make sure this gets to the intended person on the address the moment anything does no ifs ands or buts it's crucial that's he's gets it do you understand"

"Yes sir" she said taking the envelop…

"So, I take it things went well" Jazmine asked Huey the moment he walked into her apartment taking in his cold scowl. She was currently sitting on the couch catching up on her favorite Shows Power and Game of thrones while munching on some popcorn.

"As well as it can be expected I certainly had the upper hand with Carmen but she definitely wasn't happy about it and I'm sure she's going to cause me much trouble until this baby is born" Huey sighed.

Jazmine couldn't help for feel bad for him looking at the dejected look on his face if anybody was supposed to looked miserable it was her she was the one that was just the girlfriend while Carmen was the mother of his child plus dealing with all the criticism from social media.

"No matter what Carmen does we're going to get through this together I promise you all she wants now more than ever is too see you down" Jazmine stood up walking towards him.

She didn't miss how his eyes linger on her thighs in her tight shorts before raising them up to her breasts and then her face the appreciation and love for her was gleaming in his eyes.

"I really don't deserve something as wonderful as you" Huey whispered pulling her close.

"Hush don't say things you don't mean" Jazmine murmured pressing her lips into his which he took hungrily.

"I never say things I don't mean I honestly don't deserve you at any moment you could leave and not deal with this or me and I'm so grateful you haven't" Huey said pulling away slightly.

"I Rather go through this then suffer and not be with you Freeman and besides I couldn't leave you if I tried" Jazmine pulled him back for a searing Kiss.

Their tongues joined swiftly while Huey rans his hands on every inch of her body. the touching increased the heat and want they held for each other Making their lust for each other looked like child's play.

"Let me show you just how much I appreciate you" Huey said huskily picking her up and leading her to the bedroom….

"Elena Groaned as she got off the bed she should haven know she couldn't trust Thomas he wasn't going to bring Camron to her and she wasn't going to get the hell out of here plus on top of that her back was killing her and she could feel slight flutters from her unborn though it was still too early to tell the baby within her was feelings active and impatient.

"It's ok mommy here" she cooed to her small bump rubbing it.

"I won't let anyone hurt you or take you from me I promise" Elena swore as she walked back and forth trying to see if she could ease some tension off her sore back but that didn't seem to help at all because now her feet was hurting too.

And now her bladder was acting up too she thought with annoyance as she headed to the bathroom to relieve herself.

She was about there when the suddenly opening of her door caught her off guard too see two guards dressed in black scaring the hell out of her.

"Who are you, What do you want?" she felt panic rise in her throat what was Carmen up too now did Thomas get caught?

"Shhhh Elena it's me" her familiar voice said just as she was about to scream. She shut her mouth and took a good look at the man that spoke she couldn't tell who he was because he wore a mask.

"We're here to get you out of here but we have to go now" the other man spoke pulling off his mask to revealed the man she spoke too last night"

"Thomas" she said she couldn't believe he kept his word and came back for her then the other man had to be …

"it's ok Elena I'm here now, I'm so sorry I got you into this mess but I'm going to get you out of it I promised" Camron now spoked pulling off his own mask.

"Oh Camron" Elena cried happily running to hug him.

"We have to go now we can't waste any more time please" Thomas pressed breaking the happy union.

"He's right Elena we have to go now" Camron said putting his mask back on.

"Right let's go" she nodded her head firmly and slipping on some shoes.

The three fled out of the room down a narrow flight of stairs and were seconds away from the front door.

"What the hell are you doing, why is that bitch out of her room" a voice stopped them. They all turned to see the woman that was supposed to be the mother of her child her eyes flashed angrily at them.

And Elena almost wanted to run at her and strangled the life from that filthy bitch.

"Go" Thomas shouted at them he threw a pair of keys at Camron which he caught and not having to be told twice Camron grabbed Elena's Hand and ran out the front door.

"Thomas is that you ! you fucking traitor guards stop them" Natalie shouted

"Come on Elena let's go" Camron yelled pulling her towards a black jeep he pressed the unlock buttons and they both got in quickly with Thomas trailing behind them…. then a loud sound paused them all…

"BANG BANG"

Elena screamed in horror as she saw that two bullet holes' pierce Thomas one In his chest and head.

"Thomas" she cried tears streaming down her face.

"Go …. money …..in …the car run…" he gurgled at them blood dripping from his mouth just as his eyes went lifeless and his body dropped to the ground.

"Thomas" Elena moaned he had saved her and got killed for it.

"We have to go Elena" Camron said sharply feeling a pang of sadness for the man that risk his life to free them both. but there was no time to mourn him they had to go.

And with that he started the engine and pulled away from the mansion like a bat out of hell just as he heard bullets hitting the back of the jeep as they drove away…

Harold whistled happily as he sipped his cocktail enjoying the view his lover jumping into the pool.

"Come get in and swim with me" Sebastian smiled at him waving him into the pool.

"Just a minute" Harold replied blushing as he gulped down his drink.

"Hurry up…OMG Harold Run look behind you …WHO ARE YOU?! Sebastian looked at him suddenly in fear and horror.

But he didn't get a chance to do neither as a knife now slashed his neck making his blood spilled out on the patio floor.

His last thoughts as he fell to the floor just in time to see Sebastian jumped out the pool screaming and running away.

If he was going down, Carmen would go down with him he thought before giving his last breath.

Meanwhile the man that murdered him was busy taking a suit jacket and soaking it in his blood…

Middle Fingers up

Put them hands high

Wave it in his Face

Tell 'em boy bye

Middle fingers up

I ain't thinking about you

Marco sang with Beyoncé loudly around his living room giving twirling around "Yass bitch give me fierceness" he cheered strolling like he was on a run way.

He was just a about to give the best Beyoncé intro performance twerk that would put any bitch that thought she could measure up to shame.

Just as his phone started ringing. "Damn it" he grumbled in annoyance he was vibing and somebody was fucking up the mood.

Snatching up his phone he frowned in confusion why was his ex-boyfriend calling him.

And especially when him and the Queen was about to slay on these hoes.

"What Sebastian why the hell are you calling me" he snapped giving full attitude.

"Please don't hang up Marco …..i need you….
