I wish it didn't hurt at all

I don't know how I got here

I was once the one who had his heart"

Until you had enough and you took that ring off

You took that ring off

So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying

Took that ring off

Oh, now the fun begins

Saturday 11th August

As soon as Kairo got into his car the first person he called was his father.

"Hey son," Omar's greeted with his voice coming through the speakers of his car.

"I can't believe it pops," he didn't even greet his father back but spoke his thoughts.

"Believe what," his father questioned with his eyebrows furrowed wondering what's up with his son.

"I can't believe this bitch lied to me," he ignored his father again.

"What bitch, son if you tell me what the fuck you talking bout," Omar demanded through gritted teeth.

"I'm talking about Kamiya damn," he unintentionally shouted at him.

"What did she lie about," he curiously asked knowing it must be a big thing because Kairo never told anyone anything that happens in his and Kamiya's relationship. He liked to keep things private and always told Kamiya about that as well but she never listened and tells her friends her relationship business, too an extent.

"She knew Nick, all this fucking time and she knew Nick," he revealed to his father who held a shocked expression on his face. Never would he have thought that sweet angelic Kamiya could be involved with the ruthless Nick.

"Knew him like how son," he wanted more information about the situation before he said anything further.

"She knew him, she dated that nigga pops," he once again held a disgusted look on his face as he thought about Kamiya having sex with Nicks old ass.

"Dated," he shouted out into the phone.

"Yes pops, her fucking dirty ass dated that ugly ass pumpkin head ass nigga"

"You think she been plotting all this time," he sceptically asked his son.

"I couldn't even tell you pops," he truthfully answered lowly, Omar could hear the sadness and hurt in Kairo's voice as he answered. He knew his son was madly in love with Kamiya and if it was true that she had been working with Nick all along it would break his heart but leave him conflicted because they do have a child together. Kairos nose twitched and he automatically knew what that meant.

He needed a fix.

With so much going on around him it was almost impossible for him not take cocaine to ease his mind off of everything surrounding him.

"Aye pops I gotta call you back," he spoke right before his pops could respond to his reply and hung up the phone. Kairo headed to the trap house so he could see and overlook how everything was doing since he hadn't been over there in a while.

He made it to the trap in no time and hopped out his car heading to the door. He placed his eye in the scanner causing the door to beep and followed by the sound of it opening.

He walked in being greeted by everyone making his way to his office. He closed his door back shut, sitting in his chair he opened the bottom draw pulling out a bag of coke. He's been so stressed with everything going on in his eyes it would have been almost impossible for him to function properly without getting a fix.

He wasn't necessarily a drug addict, yet.

He only took it when he felt he needed the most and right now he needed it the most, Kairo emptied out the content onto the desk and started to make 3 lines with the dollar bill he had rolled up. After sniffing his nose to make sure he got it all he placed the bag back into his draw making a mental note to get some more, for his next use. A knock on his door turned his attention away from it as he told the person to enter, Zap walked through the door with a mug on his face.

"Wassup," Kairo greeted as the dapped each other up.

"Someone robbed the trap down Lacen Avenue," Zap stated while grinning in his mind because he knew that would trigger Kairo.

"You know who them niggas were," Kairo asked as Zap shook his head.

"That's what we trying to find out now but they were covered up and no one seems to be speaking," He answered.

"Ight, I'm finna pull up there now," he got out his seat heading to his car with Zap right on his tail. They headed to the trap on Lecan Avenue in their separate cars.

"Nigga I left you in charge and this is what the fuck you let them do," Kairo shouted to the head that trap

house, Manny.

"It happened early this morning boss when no one was here," He replied with confusion written on his face because he had informed Zap about it when he could reach Kairo, Zap told him he had told Kairo already.

"So why the fuck I wasn't informed, all my shit is gone," Kairo stepped to Manny with his hands clenched as he tried to control his breathing.

"I told Z-" before he could finish his sentence Zap had sent a shot to Manny's shoulder.

Manny gripped his shoulder in agony as he fell back a bit from the unexpected shot. Kairo looked to the side of him where Zap stood with hooded eyes. Even though he was going to shoot Manny anyway, Zap did not have that type of authority to shoot people without Kairo's say first.

"What the fuck nigga," Kairo exclaimed with his closed together at his waist.

"Nigga talking too damn much, send him to the Gash," Zap directed, soon as those words left his mouth Kairo whipped his head so fast he almost got whiplash trying to look at Zap.

The gash was their own hospital in case one of their men got injured they would get there.

"How the fuck them niggas get in," Kairo spoke to another person, Reeq, who was supposed to overlook the trap as well, as Manny hopped into the passenger seat of his car with his friend driving him to the gash.

"We don't know boss, them niggas was sophisticated, they knew everything about the place, niggas even got the money out the safe," Reeq explained.

We have a fucking snake, Kairo thought

"Show me the cameras," Kairo demanded heading inside of the trap house.

"They disarmed all the cameras boss," Reeq revealed causing Kairo to turn around to look at him. Feta flashed through his eyes as Kaieo stared at him with hooded eyes.

"How the fuck did they disarm the cameras when we have the most cling sophisticated cameras," Kairo was becoming extremely pissed with this whole situation. Unknowingly to Kairo, it was Zap who had hired people to rob Kairo's trap that was why it was so easy for the people to do the things they did because Zap knew most of the ins and outs of the cooperation. Kairo took his gun off the safety as he called a meeting for everyone who worked in this trap house.

"Some niggas broke in here and stole my shit, want I want to know is how the fuck they hacked the cameras and knew where all my shit is," All of them stood staring at Kairo blankly except for one person.

"Kyle you looking a little nervous," Kairo pointes out Kyle, who stood there with his eyes looking everywhere but at Kairo.

"No, I'm fine boss," He confirmed shakily as he wiped his hands on his jeans.

"Nah, I see you sweating a bit you want me to open the window for you, so you can get a little air," Kairo sarcastically asked as he walked towards Kyle.

"It's your call boss"

"You're right it is my call, so tell me who you working for now or we can do this the hard way," Kairo stayed inches away from Kyle.

"I-I don't kn-know what," he had to clear his throat before confusing to speak. Before he could even carry on his speaking Kairo punched him in the face and Kyle fell to the ground clutching his now broken nose.

"Don't fucking lie in my fucking face nigga," he stood over Kyle as he tried to get up but struggled from the discomfort of his nose.

"Pick this nigga up and send him to the operating room," Kairo ordered to his men.

2 men picked up Kyle from the floor as he tried to plead his case to Kairo. He got dragged to the operating room with tears streaming down his face because he knew once you were down there you wouldn't be returning. The operating room was the torture room, Kairo sent all his enemies, all the people that had crossed him down there. Once you were in that room you wouldn't be getting out of that room alive. Kairo gave one final speech and warning before he exited the room heading towards the operating room to deal with this little problem he had.

"You ready to tell me who you working for," Kairo smiled happily as he walked down the stirs with his hands clasped together. He had so much built up anger in his head and unfortunately, Kyle was the person who he was going to take it out on.

"I don't know what you're talking about," he lied which infused Kairo more.

Kairo nodded his head in understanding that Kyle was going to continue to lie, so he walked to the table which held all the weapons and picked up a small knife. He grazed his hands round the knife in admiration at the bought of what he's going to do with it.

"I don't like liars," Kairo states with his voice going deeper walking towards Kyle, who sat tied up in a chair.

"I swear I'm no-" he tried to plead his case. Kairo couldn't take the lying any more and swung his hand across Kyles face causing the blade of the knife to slash his face. Blood gushed out of it with Kyle crying out in pain as his cheek split in half.

"Aahhhhh," he screamed out as he so desperately wanted to touch his cheek but was restricted from the ropes.

"Now tell me who raised my fucking trap," He gritted as he dropped the knife on the ground heading back to the weapon table. Kairo picked up the knuckle gloves and placed them on before turning back around.

"I'm going to love this," he mumbled making all the men including Zap laugh at Kairo's crazy self.

"This nigga crazy," Zap said while some dapped him up agreeing with him.

———

It has been 2 hours since Kyle had been in the operating room and he was on the verge of death near enough.

"Please just kill me," he said in between breaths as he went in and out of consciousness but Kiaor could hardly understand him because half of his teeth were missing from when Kairo had pulled them out.

"Just simply tell me who you're working for," Kairo bent down to Kyles level whispering.

"F-fine, Just please kill me afterwards," he begged with tears streaming down his face.

This made Zaps ears perk up. He got up off the wall and stood straight up staring at Kyle.

"Spill," he demanded, he dragged a chair up and placed it right in front of Kyle before sitting down on it.

"Some nigga named Q," Kyle lied through the renaming teeth he had left.

"Real name"

"I don't know they just call him Q, he approached me one day and said I can make much more money if I worked for," he explained breathing heavily.

Zap nodded in approval at Kyles lie which the others took that as him believing Kyle, except Deshawn, who had come in nearly an hour ago. He didn't really trust Zap anymore, they had grown up together but over the years he saw become more distant and sneaky. Zap wanted the money and power all too himself and Deshawn could see that Kairo was stuck on the fact that they were practically brothers and didn't want to believe that his brother would do something like that to him. Deshawn observed Zap a little more before focusing his attention back on Kyle who would sometimes peek a glance at Kyle, which Deshawn picked up on.

"He told me to tell him everything he knows and I did, he paid me," Kyle finally concluded with his story.

Kairo nodded in approval standing up and taking him and the chair back a few feet before swiftly taking his gun out of his pants and sending 2 shots to Kyle's head. Kyle's head jerked back causing the chair to fall over.

"Clean this up," Kairo demanded to the cleanup crew, who had just come downstairs.

Knocked out of her thought Robyn lifted her head up to the sound of her front door opening.

"Hey," she mumbled with a soft smile. Odell simply smiled back before walking to the kitchen to get a drink.

Robyn followed suit wondering what's wrong with him, most of the time Odell was this goofy person so for him to be down she knew something serious was going on with him.

"What's wrong," she asked as she tried to wrap her arms around his torso but him moving forward and jerking away from her caused her not to. She frowned up at him at his attitude towards her.

"What's up for real now," she hated when Odell did this, once he was in a bad mood he would stay in that mood and not want to do anything to solve it.

"Nothing, can't I just not be touched"

"Well something's obviously wrong because I haven't done anything to you for you to be acting his way," she expressed.

"I just want space," he huffed as he got a glass from the cabinet ready to pour him a shot.

"Fine," she mumbled as she backed away from his with her arms up in surrender. She rested on the counter as she watched him take a shot straight then went to put himself another.

"Od-" she got cut off with the sound of glass shattering. Odell had thrown the glass he had in his hand at the wall unable to control his emotions.

Robyn jumped at the sound of it and stood in shock as Odell breathed heavily staring at the broken glass. They stood there for a few minutes not uttering a word until Odell managed to snap back to reality leaving the kitchen without even cleaning up the glass.

Robyn let out a breath she didn't even know she was holding in as Odell left. She went to the cabinet to retrieve the stuff needed to clean up the glass. She cleaned up the glass in silence, afterwards heading back to her living room. Not spotting Odell there she went to her bedroom but came up short as well. She saw the bathroom light on, so she made her way towards it. She creaked the door open poking her head through, she saw him staring at himself through the mirror with hooded eyes.

She contemplated with herself if she should proceed to go into the bathroom or just leave. She opened the bathroom door even more slowly walking in, she continued to stare at Odell as he ignored her presence focused on looking at himself and his life in the mirror.

"You can speak to me," she softly said as she placed her hand on his arm carefully. He flinched at her touch but calmed down after a while not trying to object her touch.

"I fucked up," he mumbled with his head now down.

"What happened," she softly asked rubbing his arms gently.

"I fucked up," he spoke again turning his head to look Robyn in the eyes, she placed both her hands on either side of his face before she spoke.

"Baby what happened,"

"Baby my career could end if this gets out," he revealed as a tear escaped from his eye.

"Baby I can't help you if you don't tell me what happened"

"I took steroids," he confessed as he diverted his eyes anywhere but Robyn's eyes.

"You what," She had to make sure she heard correctly.

"It wasn't intentional," He said as he grabbed at her hands before she could fully pull away from him.

"Tell me everything," she stated as she hopped onto the counter with Odell standing in between her legs.

"Nahl-" He tried to explain but the mention of Nahlias name triggered Robyn.

"That bitch had something to do with it," she got ready to hop off the counter but Odell held a firm grip on her.

"Baby let me explain please," Robyn nodded her head calming herself down for the sake of the baby.

Odell proceeded to tell the story, "Nahlia was giving me some pills that I thought was ibuprofen or something like that but turns out it was actually steroids, by the time I found out it was too late. I was improving my game and I was running faster, I just couldn't stop taking them because then people would know what's going on, so I continued to take them up until we won the championship. I and Nahlia got to arguing when I was supposed to leave her so I could finally be with you and she threatened to tell everyone that I was using steroids if I left her," he explained and by now Robyn had smoke coming out of her ears.

"Why didn't you tell me this," she wiped the tears that fell from his eyes.

"I was so ashamed, the only reason we won the championship was because I was taking steroids"

"Baby you know you could tell me anything and you taking steroids was not the reason why you won the championship, the reason why you won the championship was because of your hard dedicated training," she gave him words of encouragement.

"Thanks, baby"

"Your welcome, now let's go see this bitch shall we," she hopped off the counter and grabbed Odell's hand dragging him to her car. Robyn drove to Nahlias house with anger, all this time she thought Odell was willingly staying with Nahlia but to hear she was blackmailing him triggered something inside of her. Robyn banged on Nahlias door forcefully. Nahlia looked through the peephole and fear false through her eyes. She had a feeling that Odell would tell Robyn about her antics but she never thought it would be this soon. She heard about Robyn and how she had hands on her, she did not want to be in an altercation with Robyn.

"Bitch I know you in there," Robyn shouted to Nahlia, Odell sighed before grabbing Robyn's arms softly sort of relieved she hadn't opened it.

"Babe she ain't finna open the door, let's go pleased," He didn't want his ex-girlfriend and his current girlfriend fighting because he knew sooner or later it would be in the blogs and he didn't want that attention on him or Robyn.

"Bitch open this door,"

"Do you have a key," Robyn asked even though she would be highly confused on why Odell would still have a key to his ex's house. Odell scratches the back of his head contemplating if he should answer.

"Uhh no why would you ask that," Odell couldn't tell Robyn he still and the key because he knew she would start questioning him about why and he didn't have an explanation to why he actually did.

"Don't fucking lie to me," she stretched her hand out towards Odell indicating fr him to give her the key, he cleared his throat before going into his pocket retrieving the key to Nahlias house. Before he could even put the key in the door Nahlia had opened the door slightly with one hand on her hip.

"How may I help you," She sassed at Robyn while rolling her eyes, Robyn looked her up and down with a disappointing look plastered on her face. She thought Nahlia could be a really good woman if she didn't have such a stank attitude, she was really pretty and had the brains but her spoilt of a parents had fucked that all up for her.

"I came to talk," Robyn stayed as she bathed her way into the apartment with Odell followed in suit.

"Talk about what," she asked while she trailed behind them walking to the living room.

"Odell here says that you have blackmailed him so he stays with you," Robyn explained, the news that Odell told Robyn was a big surprise to him but Nahlia managed to hold a fake shocked expression on her face causing Odell to laugh at her.

"Did Odell tell you that," She asked knowing the answer already.

"You know he did, I came here to tell you to," she began to break down her sentence so Nahlia could understand her properly.

"Back.The.Fuck.Up," she spoke inching growers Nahlia's with each word. By now Robyn was all up in Nahlia's personal space.

"I mean last week when Odell told me he was leaving me for you I thought it was a joke until he actually tried to leave me, I couldn't have that now could I," she tilted her head at Robyn with a sly smirk on her face.

"Bitch I-" she started to threaten Nahlia but Odell intervened putting his body in between the girls facing Robyn.

"Can you come down please," he mumbled to her causing her to roll her eyes.

"Fuck off talking to me," she tried to push Odell out the way but he stood his ground with a confusion spread across his face. Nahlia had stepped back from Odell devising to get a little entertainment from the argument that was about to occur between Robyn and Odell.

"What I do," he asked

"That bitch said last week you told her you couldn't be together but we been," she put quotations gestures over the word 'been'.

"Together for 3 weeks, so at first You was lying to me about her blackmailing you," she explained.

Odell stared at her blankly feeling caught.

Yes, at first he wanted to have the best of both worlds and be with both woman because both of them had strong things he liked about them, but after a while, he didn't like the attitude Nahlia had started to have.

Every little thing she did would get him annoyed and irritated for no apparent reason.

He finally decided to call it quits with Nahlia but she wasn't having it.

So she blackmails him.

"Baby," he trie dot explain and put it in the best words possible without hurting her feelings.

"Don't baby me, you lied to me," tears began to peek out her eyes.

"It was for the best that I did," he tried to justify.

"You still love her," she asked which made Nahlia smirk waiting to hear the answer.

"Just tell me the truth," she spoke right before Odell could come out with a lie.

"Yes," he mumbled but loud enough for Robyn and Nahlia to hear. Nahlia excitedly jumped on the inside but outside she held a blank expression on her face as Robyn backed away slowly from Idell with tears now streaming down her face.

"Baby," he tried to step to Robyn but she shook her head aggressively at him indicating for him to stop.

"I'm sorry," he tried to plead as she made her way out of the living room with Odell on her trail.

"Baby please," he begged as he held onto her arm to try and stop her from leaving.

"Odell please leave me alone," she mumbled as she tried to yank her arms away from his grip.

"Baby hear me out," he pleaded but Robyn wasn't trying to hear it. Hearing the man you live say he lives another woman was heartbreaking to her and she wanted nothing more than to get out of this toxic environment and energy for the health of her and her baby.

"Odell please just let me go," she spoke her voice beginning to crack. Odell has known he had hurt Robyn bad by confessing that, so he slowly pulled away from Robyn and watched as she rapidly walked out the house slamming the door.

Odell watched the door slam and as she left, he felt as though his heart and a part of him had just left as well when the woman he loved the most had just walked out the door as if she walked out of his life.
