WAA-WAA WAA-WAA WAA-WAA
Hannah's eyes shot open to the sound of a loud alarm. Rahim was sound asleep so Hannah tried hard to ignore the sound. Suddenly, the smell of smoke pushed past her nose causing her to lift up forcefully.
"Rahim get up." She pushed him but he didn't move. "Rahim! Rahim get up ...."
"What’s…" Rahim stopped, noticing the flames that trailed underneath his door. "Shit!" he jumped to his feet and began scrambling for his clothing. Hannah did the same thingbut she didn't succeed with putting on her pants. She began coughing and wheezing from the smoke that had now come through the door. Noticing her gasping for air, Rahim pulled off his shirt and tied it around her face securely. He then pulled her into his arms and had no choice but to kick the door open.
With Hannah clutched tightly in the fold of his arms, Rahim ran full speed out of the room into the burning hall. He stopped in his tracks because there were intense flames that trailed all the way to the elevator. He was sure how much of the building had caught fire but he was sure they wouldn’t make it to the elevator.
The sounds of Hannah’s gruesome cough alarmed Rahim making him clutch her tighter. Seeing her so immobilized actually made him realize how much he liked her. He wouldn’t say love because Rahim kept a wall between his dick and his heart but he liked her. He actually liked her more than any of his female companions. He realized this during her absence so he took it out on the pussy of some strange woman who had won on the slots. The entire time he fucked the lady, he imagined what he would do to Hannah when she came back running. Rahim knew Hannah couldn’t resist the way he fucked her so he was sure she’d be back.
Now here she was, back, dicked down and nearly out of it. Rahim wasn’t sure what the fuck caused the fire but if there was someone responsible, he was gonna put a bullet between their eyes. The way the fire blazed, the shit was serious. The alarm sounded but the sprinklers never released water. Because it was the wee hours of the night, he was sure no one was able to take the fire because the establishment was tranquil; so, there was no telling how alarmed anyone would become.
Running to the stairs exit, Hannah sluggishly suffered from smoke inhalation. She coughed and had shortness of breath but she was able to make out a frightened Dallas. She watched as Kasim pulled Dallas down the hall close to him, not missing a beat. Hannah thought of poor Norah because she held the secret of knowing Dallas was right here alive and in love. Hannah saw Dallas at the party but wasn’t sure if it was her due to the mask. However, her description fit perfectly so she knew it was her. Eventually Norah would find out and Hannah would act dumbfounded.
“Bro she good?”
Hannah heard Kasim shout looking down in her direction. When Rahim responded she could hear the distress in his voice so she wanted him to know she was okay.
“I’m okay Rahim.” She replied then looked over to Kasim. They all ran down the stairs with many flights to go.
When they finally made it down to the first floor, there was a slight trail of fire but not enough to keep them from escaping. This told Hannah that the fire had started upstairs and there was no telling why. With the amount of candles Rahim kept lit around his room she could only imagine how many candles burned inside the other rooms. Not necessarily saying it was the cause but Hannah had seen so many episodes of candles starting fires. Although she wasn’t a fire fighter she still had to investigate. Her most horrific story of them all was the fire caused in the Pacific Ocean from candles with a teen and his mother. The mother along with the old ship had been burned to crisps but the teen survived. Hannah was much younger and hadn’t even joined the force but the rumors and stories traveled around the precinct continuously. There were rumors about the teen who was now older and people swore he was some soultaking killer. There was a book about it called Salvaged Souls that she eventually read out of curiosity. The story reminded her of the Kingly Dynasty because no one seemed to care. In the precinct it was swept under the rug just like here at the dynasty.
Finally making it outside, the cold breeze swept into the creases of her pussy making her realize she wasn’t wearing any bottoms. Rahim quickly unwrapped the shirt from around her face so she could breathe in some air and that’s when she heard her name in the distance.
“Hannah!”
Hannah’s heart began to flutter knowing exactly who the voice belonged to. She was too afraid to turn around but she knew she couldn’t ignore him. She slowly looked in his direction, and Angelo held the hose in his hand to contain the fire. However, his mind wasn’t wrapped on the blaze in front of him; he was more consumed with the fact that his wife was in another man’s arms. Not just any man but a Kingly. She wore no clothing and the way the man held on to her seemed very personal. Hannah’s mind told her to run to him but it was like she was paraplegic.
Before Hannah’s mind registered one of the other fire fighters nudged Angelo to move along. Angelo gave Hannah one last look and hesitantly ran off into the building. He didn’t wanna believe his wife was extramarital but he was no fool. She left without a trace. It was the wee hours of the night and now she was naked. Many nights Angelo wondered if his wife was in fact at work because many nights, she’d come home with the scent of another man's cologne lingering. The thought of her fucking any man toyed with his heart, but a damn Kingly? That was like a stab in the back. Angelo knew he couldn’t compete with a man so rich. So powerful. So suave. Rahim was veryintimidating and there was no telling what he packed between his legs. When it came to sex Angelo knew he wasn’t too blessed in the duck department but so what; he was loyal. Not once had he ever stepped out on his wife. No matter how bad a woman was in the room he only had eyes for Hannah.
“Hannah here Ma.” Rahim brought her from a daze. He handed her a blanket to wrap around her body. Just as she went to thank him Tasim stormed out looking around.
“Where Norah?” He asked in a panic. On cue both Rahim and I said we hadn’t seen her.
“When the last time….” I went to ask but was cut off by Mr. Kingly who was coughing and cursing in between his breaths.
“My damn establishment! Look at my damn establishment!” Mr. Kingly shouted looking amongst his children. He watched as the fire department rushed inside to fight the fire with devastation. “That ghetto piece of a shit bitch you're sticking your dick in!” He looked in Tasim’s direction. He took Tasim by surprise by the astonished look on his face.
“Man, miss me with yo bullshit accusations.” Tasim waved Mr. Kingly off.
“You think I'm kidding. I have the fucking tape!” Mr. Kingly whipped out his phone and began showing Tasim a recording. The entire time he fumed, Tasim could feel the heat pouring from his skin.
From where Hannah and Rahim stood, they could clearly see Norah’s frame running with a jug. They then witnessed Norah light the match and Tasim began shaking his head watching along. Hannah couldn't do anything but smile on the sly knowing how ruthless Norah was for even trying a Kingly. The girl had heart but a part of her was scared for Norah.Everyone knew Mr. Kingly's power because of his finances so there was no telling what he would do to her. “If you don't kill that black bitch, I'll kill her my damn self.” Mr. Kingly slid underneath his breath then looked at Hannah. He knew just as everyone else knew that she was a cop so the statement was daring. He was over the edge with his children because what started off as his sick little games was now crumbling in his face. Kasim was a sucker in love for pussy. Tasim just a dumb confused sack of shit and he was even growing suspicious over Rahim who stood right beside the damn pig. For months, Rahim was the only one he had a bit of confidence in but he was beginning to prove his father wrong. They all seemed like a bunch of pussy whipped bitches so all he had was his precious baby girl. He was gonna get her to kill Norah and the hell with the rest of his children. As sharp as Shy was, it was an easy task that would get done within the blink of an eye.
Mr. Kingly stormed off so now everyone looked at Tasim. The video damn sure didn't lie so for the first time he couldn't say his father was making up some bullshit.
“So, what now?” Rahim asked, ready to defend his father’s business not knowing his daddy dearest was looking at him just as his siblings. One thing about Rahim when it came to The Dynasty and Mr. Kingly, he didn't care to entertain his brothers ghetto foolishness. He'd fuck off a little but he understood the assignment. Granted, something was different about Hannah and he took a liking to her but the hell with Hannah. She was all fun and games and especially when it came to the Dynasty.
“We can't let him harm her. I'm sorry Kasim but we can't let him do shit to her.” Dallas finally spoke up with tears in her eyes. The things she witnessed staying inside the Dynasty was immortal. She knew without a doubt they would kill her best friend. At this point she was over it. She wanted all this to beover. She wanted to run to Norah with open arms and tell her everything she’s been through. For some strange reason Kasim kept saying either not now or the time wasn’t right. So, when in the hell would the time be right?! Dallas constantly questioned. Now it was to the point they wanted to kill her for their own selfish fucking reasons. They were the cause of everything transpiring around them and now they couldn’t take the heat.
“Nobody’s gonna kill her Ma. I promise.” Kasim looked at Tasim with that protected look. Just as Tasim, Kasim didn’t give two fucks about the establishment. He wished like hell she would have burned the entire place down.
While the brothers politicked on their father about the piece of shit he was, she remained quiet trapped in a world of her own thoughts. Angelo wasn't bout the life the Kinglys portrayed but hearing him constantly quote 2Pac "I ain't a killer but don't push me" echoed through Hannah's mind. She was sure enough a dead bitch the moment her husband got his hands on her.
