“You like your new Jeep, baby?” Rowdy asked as he kissed my lips before pulling out of the hospital.
“I love it! Thank you so much, baby! You are too good to me. I appreciate everything you do, and I’m so thankful to have you.”
As we were about to pull out onto the highway, making a right turn, a black SUV came from out of nowhere and hit us head-on. The airbags deployed and knocked me out cold. I could feel myself being pulled from the Jeep, but I was unable to open my eyes or make my mind bring me back to reality.
Unsure of how long I had been out, I woke up in a dark and cold room, tied to a chair. I could hear my baby crying in the distance, but I was unable to move. As I opened my eyes and was able to focus on my surroundings, I saw Diamond sitting in the chair across from me. Without warning, I started to panic and hyperventilate.
“What’s wrong? You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” Diamond stated.
She was at least twenty pounds smaller, and her face was stiff on one side. It looked like she had nerve damage or was paralyzed from the bullet that entered her neck. I was scared for my life.
“Please give me my son. He is innocent, and I need to feed him. I can’t just let him cry like that,” I cried.
“You sound just like I did when Black kidnapped my son and me. Unlock this phone. I need to call that nigga.”
Diamond powered my phone on and made me give her the code. She called Rowdy, and he answered on the first ring.
“Moni, where are you, baby? Are you and Cadence okay?” He answered in a panic.
“You couldn’t have thought you could kidnap me and my son, and I wasn’t going to touch yours. I told you that Jakari was a bitch, but I wasn’t going to let that shit slide. I meant that!” she said as he hung up in his face.
“The biggest mistake y’all made was letting your guards down, thinking I was dead without even asking to see a body.I taught Jakari a lesson, and now it’s your turn,” Diamond said as she punched me in my face with all her strength, causing my right eye to instantly swell shut.

Part Three
PROMISED TO A BOSS BUT A MENACE GOT MY HEART
Seeing the look on my girl’s face when I surprised her with her dream car was worth every dime I spent on it. Harmoni deserved that and more. She had made me a father, and that was something I never imagined being. I couldn’t lie like I wasn’t nervous before our son was born, but as I strapped him into the backseat of Harmoni’s Jeep, I couldn’t help but smile as I looked into his little eyes. Cadence looked just like my father and me. He had silky milk chocolate skin and a head full of jet-black, curly hair. He had every feature of my face, just in a smaller form. Once he was secure in the Jeep, I let Journei do a safety check. I signed another paper, then got into the driver’s seat to take my family home.
“You like your new Jeep, baby?” I asked Harmoni as I leaned over to her side and kissed her lips.
“I love it! Thank you so much, baby! You are too good to me. I appreciate everything you do, and I’m so thankful to have you,” Moni expressed.
I used my free hand to hold Harmoni’s hand as I pulled out of the hospital parking lot. As I looked over at Harmoni, I couldn’t help smiling. She was the happiest that I had ever seen her. Her glow was different. Knowing how much losing her first child had broken her, I was so thankful that she had gotten a second chance to be a mother. I was even more thankful that I was Cadence’s father and that my family was complete.
I couldn’t wait for her to see what I had done to our son’s room. That was my first task as a father, and I did a damn good job. Words couldn’t express how much I loved my lil’ family, but I was still in shock that this was my life for real. Now that I had my shop up and running, I knew it was time to go legit. I had a few more moves that I needed to make, but I was definitely going to let the streets go.
Just as I was about to make a right turn onto the highway, I was hit head-on by a black SUV. Before I knew what was happening, my airbags deployed, and everything went black.
Not sure how long I was out, but when I woke up, I heard sirens, and all I could see was smoke inside and outside of the Jeep. I reached over, and I didn’t feel Moni beside me.
“Moni! Moni, baby, are you okay?” I said as I struggled to get out of my seatbelt.
I frantically searched all over the Jeep for my son and my fiancée. The car was completely empty, and I could only pray that the paramedics had already taken them and were checking on them. A few moments later, I was taken out of the car and putinto the back of the ambulance. Everything on my body was sore, and I could barely turn my head. I was really fucked up. I asked where they had taken my baby and my girl, but everyone looked at me like I was crazy.
“The fuck y’all mean it was nobody else in the car with me? My girl and my baby just got released from the hospital. Find them right fucking now! My son is only three days old!” I yelled.
“Calm down, sir. You may have a concussion, and we need to check you out to make sure you’re alright. You have a pretty ugly knot on your forehead, so it’s important that you let us do our job,” the paramedic stated as he checked my eyes, then the knot on my head.
I heard the EMTs whispering amongst themselves about me having a brain injury or some shit. These people thought I was crazy, and the more I sat there without my baby and his mother, I was really about to get crazy.
“I need you slow ass muthafuckas to find my fiancée and my son! They just got released from the hospital today! Check the cameras and ask the hospital. I don’t have no fuckin concussion. I know exactly what I’m talking about. The only thing I’m confused about is how they got out of that Jeep and where they are right now. It was a two-car accident. Where is the SUV that hit me? Did they leave the scene? If y’all don’t have them, somebody does!” I barked.
Deciding not to wait for a response, I jumped out of the ambulance and walked to the other three ambulance trucks, and looked inside for Harmoni and Cadence, but they were all empty. I took off and headed back down the street toward the hospital to see if, by chance, someone had taken them there. As I ran back toward the hospital, I could hear the EMTs calling for me to come back. They acted as if I was trippin. It was like they weren’t comprehending that my newborn baby and fiancée had disappeared into thin air.
I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket and called Trell. Quickly, I ran down what happened and asked him to grab my pops and then pull up. I ended the call once I made it to the hospital front desk.
