A small thought stayed tucked quietly in the back of my mind. Maybe this nigga was serious about me.

“THE WOMAN BEHIND THE VEIL: WHO IS ARES DELACROIX’S MYSTERY FIANCÉE?”
Los Angeles is still buzzing after the shocking proposal atThe Delacroix Legacy Gala, where billionaire heir Ares Delacroix-Jackson introduced a fiancée no one saw coming.
The woman appeared wearing a white veil throughout the evening, preventing photographers from capturing her identity. Security was reportedly instructed to remove anyone who attempted to get a clear shot of her face.
Several attendees told us the mysterious bride-to-be was “quiet but commanding,” standing beside Delacroix with the calm confidence of someone accustomed to wealth and influence. One guest said they saw her light green eyes.
Rumors are already circulating about who she might be.
Some believe she comes from a powerful European family.
Others speculate she may have connections to the Laveau dynasty that have never been seen.
One thing is certain.
Whoever she is… she now sits beside one of the most powerful men in the world.

DAYS LATER…
“A Son Done Playing”
My blacked-out CLS 450 Benz glided through the empty streets after midnight, engine low, smooth, expensive. I had one hand on the wheel, the other resting near my lap on my gun, while the city lights slid across the windshield in streaks of gold.
Ares sat in the passenger seat, calm as ever.
That usually meant his mind was somewhere dangerous.
We didn’t play music.
But he spoke.
“You know I turned you into a multi-millionaire on some legit shit.”
I smirked slightly, eyes still on the road.
“You did more than that.”
“I’m always gonna keep you paid,” he continued. “You my brother.”
Then his tone shifted.
“But your pops… He gotta pay up to you. And you gotta let him know tonight to pay you your bread.”
“I will.”
Ares leaned back in the seat, looking out the window at the passing city.
