Chapter||1

I would give you the world, baby girl

You just gotta be worth it,

You don't gotta be perfect

Thursday 26th April

Kamiya leaned against the metal rail as another migraine was coming on. The wind thumping against her skin didn't make her feel any better.

With her only wearing her nightgown she could feel the breeze on every part of her body as it brushed against her skin. Her left hand rested against the rail while the other gripped her head trying to ease the pain, but nothing seemed to work as she squinted her eyes in discomfort.

The pain was overbearing for her and she soon began to bang her fist against her head wanting for it to stop.

After 10 minutes of being outside the pain was fading away and Kamiya could now stand up fully after cradling on the floor.

It was 2 am and once again Kairo, Kamiya' boyfriend and father of her child, wasn't home. Kairo is oblivious about Kamiya's episode considering he is either never home to witness it or Kamiya has hidden her pain really well for him to even notice so she was left to deal with it alone.

Kamiya doesn't want Kairo to know as he is always fearful about her and he has enough on his plate dealing with the cartel his father had left him.

She finally went inside and decided to take a well needed cool shower. While in there she let her mind wander, she thought about her relationship with Kairo, to the family that she did have left and her friends.

After 30 minutes she got out of the all-glass shower and dried her self with a towel. Wrapped her curly hair up into a bun and began to start her night care routine.

She waited angrily in her silk sheet bed for Kairo to come home. She decided to make food to pass by some time, so she went downstairs and made herself a cheese omelette.

She had finished her food and was now lying in bed reading a book. It was now 1 am and Kamiya started to become restless so sooner rather than later she fell asleep not bothered to wait anymore and decided to just wait till morning to deal with Kairo.

—————

On the other side of town

"Mehhnn, Kam gone kill me because of your stupid ass," Kairo said as he sat in the passenger seat of his car while Kain, his younger brother, drove towards Kairo's house.

"Look I'm sorry I got caught up in something," Kain replied showing no remorse towards his brother.

"Yeah, pussy," Kairo rolled his eyes at his brothers stupid antics.

Once again Kairo was left with no car to get home to his lady as he had let his brother borrow his while his was in the shop. But Kairo was starting to regret that ever happening.

Kairo and Kain only had one car as Kamiya was big on spending unnecessary money and claimed that he only needed one car. She had grew up in a poor and bad neighbor hood with barely to nothin money, so she was taught to spend her money wisely and even till this day with her vein a millionaire she still was cautious with how much money she was spending but don't get it twisted she would still splash out here and there.

"I was on my way to come get you, then she called and you know I couldn't resist free pussy," He laughed but Kairo didn't find anything funny.

"Yeah whatever just drive nigga."

They drove in a comfortable silence with just the sound of Quando Rondo seeping through the speakers on a low volume.

45 minutes had past when they finally reached Kairo's house to see all the lights off indicating that Kamiya was asleep. Kairo sighed as he gave his brother dap and exited out the car.

"Good luck," Kain laughed as he zoomed out the driveway going to his condo.

"Yeah, Yeah, whatever nigga," Kairo said knowing Kain didn't even hear him.

He unlocked his door with the customised key he got that has both him and Kamiya's initials on it. He stepped inside his 6 bedroom, 10 bathroom house taking off his balenciaga shoes and placing them on the floor near the door.

He sighed before he made his way upstairs into their room putting his jewellery down and his gun back in the safe before going into their bathroom that's located inside their room at the back on the right.

Only taking a 15 minute shower before hopping out Kairo then placed on some boxers ready for the night.

Going into bed he tried to discretely cuddle with Kam but failed as she pushed him away and turning the opposite way away from him.

"Baby I'm sorry, you know Kain had my car," he tried to reason with her.

"Yeah whatever, I'm trying to sleep we will discuss this in the morning," she replied as she tried to go back to sleep.

"Discuss this in the morning," scrunching up his face, Kairo was confused on what exactly was there to discuss.

"What you mean discuss in the morning, there's nothing to discuss, you know Kain had my car so what else is their to say," he explained.

"Oh maybe because this is not the first time this week you've come in late" she expressed now becoming annoyed with him.

"Oh Baby I'm sorry, I'm sorry" she mocked him on what he would say while rolling her eyes.

Now fully up and awake Kam was ready to express her feelings and what she felt to him.

"I'm tired, it happens allllll," she dragged out the word as she moved her arms about, "the time, work this work that, when we gone have some time," she was becoming exhausted with the constant neglect Kairo was giving her.

"I'm home all day with Aaliyah taking care of her while you're doing God knows what"

Aaliyah is Kam and Kairo's 2 year old daughter who is currently staying at her grandma's tonight as Kam has thought she could have time with Kairo alone, but clearly it didn't go as planned.

"Don't try play me like that, knowing I go to work and acting like I don't take care of Liyah as well," he said fully alerted now.

"Work, psshh yeah"

"What you mean I do go to work," he argued not understanding where all this was coming from.

"If it wasn't for me none of this would have been here, you wouldn't be living in this house or having these expensive ass clothes," he explained gesturing to everything in the room.

"I don't care about the clothes or any of this shit," she shouted now angry with him throwing everything he's done in her face.

"You can have everything, because every time we argue you go on and on about what you buy me constantly throwing it in my face," she said now getting out of bed standing up.

Bored with the argument Kairo simply just scrolled through his phone texting people back as he leaned on the dresser. But one message caught his eye.

It was a message from a girl he had recently gotten head from.

Guilt started to cloud his mind as he remembered the night. He could admit and say it was good head but he had a fiancé he loved of so dearly.

He couldn't believe what he had done.

She had sent him nudes with a message saying she couldn't wait to taste him again.

Paying little to no attention to Kamiya and getting lost into the picture Kairo, Kamiya snatched his phone from his grasp wanting to know what got his attention.

Only noticing the text before Kairo quickly snatched the phone back, Kamiya's blood was boiling.

"So who the fuck is that, talkin' bout I wanna taste you again"

"TASTE WHAT AGAIN KAIRO," she violently shouted

"Mehnn nothing she lying," he lied as he looked off to the side.

"Don't fucking play me right now king," she said angrily. By her calling him King he knew she was livid considering she never called him king.

"Ayy stop calling me king," he stated, he didn't like when his family called him King as that's not who he really is, in the streets his King but at home he's Kairo.

"KING KING KING" she taunted him as he held a scowl on his face.

"Just like you I can do what I want," she moved her head side to side while clapping her hands together.

"Now tell me who was that" she demanded as they stood face to face.

"Now tell me who was that," she asked again when he stayed silent and continued to lean on the dresser.

"It's no body baby,"!he lied trying to grab onto her hand.

"Don't look me in my face and lie," she said sternly while clenching her fist backing away from him.

"Babyyyy," he stressed while running a hand down his face contemplating if he should tell the truth or not. Scenarios of if he did played in his head and the thought of her leaving him didn't sit right with him.

But he knew sooner or later the truth would come out so he said what came to mind.

"Promise not to get mad," he finally stood up straight as he looked her in the eyes.

"ITS TO FUCKING LATE FOR THAT JUST TELL ME WHO THE BITCHH IS," she screamed tired of going back and forth with him.

"She's a girl I let suck my dick," he mumbled with his head down.

"Huh I can't hear you speak up big man,"!she said as she placed her hand on her ear cupping it.

"It's a girl I let suck my dick," he repeated but again only a mumble.

"Wait wait wait u need to speak up because my ears must be playing me because I thought you said she sucked your dick," she tried to figure out if she heard him correctly.

"She did," he said shamefully while putting his head down.

"Look at me," she demanded.

Just as he put his head up and punch came landing on his face. He held his face in pain but not long after more blows were coming to him by Kamiya.

Kamiya was hitting him anywhere possible with tears streaming down her face

But soon those blows were replaced with slaps and those slaps soon ended with Kamiya feeling defeated and starting bawling on the floor

"Baby it was a mistake, I'm sorry," he tried to plead his case.

"What can I do to make it up to you"

"I was drunk as fuck baby please," he confessed.

He tried to plead his case but Kamiya wasn't having it. She soon found the strength to get up and push Kairo out her way marching towards the closet they shared.

"I'm so over this," she stressed as she packed clothes into her suitcase.

"Baby please," he begged as he trailed behind her like a lost puppy.

He knew he had fucked up with getting his dick sucked but he didn't want to lose the only women who has been by his side through it all.

"I just need time please," she expressed. Kairo couldn't do anything but sigh and nod his head.

It took Kamiya about 10 minutes to pack a suitcase and load it into the car, she then went to Aaliyah's room and packed a bag for her while Kairo was still hot on her tail pleading his case.

"You can come see Aaliyah anytime you want but for right now we need a break," she said as knew she was going to take Kairo back sooner or later. After getting all her stuff situated into the car she was now putting it into reverse while Kairo stood at the door watching the love of his life drive off

Friday 27th April

It had been a week since Kam had left her house and everyday Kairo had faithfully come to the hotel, she had been staying at and bought her and Aaliyah lunch and stayed until Aaliyah fell asleep. Kam was impressed with him but she wouldn't allow her self to give in that easily. He had been trying to get back on good terms with her and so far he was doing good

"Da da," Aaliyah said reaching her arms up to Kairo waiting for him to pick her up.

"Yes spoiled ass," he smiled as he had his 2 hands on his hips.

"Da daaaa," she started to whine as he wouldn't pick her up.

"Alright mamas" he gave in just before she started to get cranky. Kairo tickled and lifted her up in the air and the sound of her laughters filled the room.

Kamiya stood in the corner smiling at the two but soon replaced with tears wondering why he would give up his family just for some head by a female he didn't even want. Turning his head Kairo saw the tears in Kamiya's eyes and put Liyah down while clearing his throat trying not to show emotion towards Kam. He wanted to so desperately go and hug her but knew that he would get declined. He told Aaliyah to go play with her toys in the other room so she wouldn't see her mother cry and suspect anything.

Kamiya didn't really process the thought of her family being broken up but now she saw the interaction between the two she finally broke down. Her chest heaved up and down as she cried. She tried to cover the sounds of her sobs with her hand over her mouth, so Aaliyah couldn't hear but it was impossible with how heavy she was crying. Kairo hugged her even with her banging on his chest asking why he would do such a thing after everything they had been through.

Truth was he didn't even know the answer himself.

It was just in the moment.

She had now calmed down and walked towards the bathroom to clean her face. She then walked towards the room where Aaliyah was.

"You hungry Liya," she asked as she stood at the doorway.

"Yess," she happily replied.

"What you want to eat?"

"Mcdeeeesssss" she said excitedly with her baby voice jumping for joy.

"Come on go to daddy and asked him to put on your coats and shoes." She watched as Liya's tiny feet ran to her father, then she went to her suitcase to grab an outfit for the day. Deciding to dress in a white tracksuit with her red Nike Tn's to match the red hair she had just put on yesterday.

After 15 minutes she was ready and headed to where they were which was the living room

"I'm ready let's go mama's," she said as she grabbed Aaliyah's bag for emergencies. Kairo opened the door for Kam while Liya was on his hip playing with his beard. As Kam walked in front he couldn't help but to look at her ass and nasty thoughts coming to his head. Smirking to him self he shook his head knowing he messed up a good thing.

Kairo buckled Liya in making sure she's straight while Kam put the bag in the back and took her place in the passenger front seat. After Kairo got Liya situated he went to the drivers side and put his seatbelt on before driving off. The car ride was full of Liya trying to talk but ended up with just making noise and Kairo every so often making a comment to her. Kam was in her own little world sitting silently which Kairo seemed to pick up on her doing quite often.

Truth was he was worried about her, With her past he knew how she acted.

They had finally reached McDonald's but it took them quite a while to find a parking space considering it was a Friday. Once they found one they piled out the car with Kairo holding Liyah's hand as they crossed the road.

"You go find somewhere to sit while I order the food," Kairo spoke to Kam.

"Ok I want my usual," she replied knowing Kairo knew that she always got 9 nuggets and large fries with a large sprite.

Taking a seat at a booth in the far end near a window Kamiya scrolled through Instagram liking a few pictures waiting for the arrival of the food. Soon Kairo came with a tray of food and Liyah right next to him with chips she was attempting to eat all at once.

"Mama," she said as she reached her arms up for her to put her in the seat.

"Come here my baby," she cooed as she obeyed Liyah's wishes putting her in the wooden seat that they provided her. Eating in a awkward silenced with Liyah blabbering, Kairo couldn't help but to look up and stare at Kam asking himself if he should spark up a conversation or let silence consume them more. Finally battling with his inner thoughts he decided to ask her how was her day and let the conversation flow if it does.

"It was okay," she replied with a fake smile plastered on her face, which Kairo knows all too well.

"How was yours?" She asked

"It was good now that I've seen my too favourite women," he tried to flirt with her.

"That was soo corny," she laughed but blushed at the same time.

"But I'm glad I make that effect on you,"

"You know you've always had" he winked at her causing her to laugh.

As their conversation was going smoothly and the awkwardness faded away it was interrupted by a female.

"So is this why you couldn't text me back," the girl said rudely to Kairo while looking Kam up and down making a disgusted face. The girl was wearing a top that stopped right under her boobs and was elbow length paired with cycling shorts that had a hole on either sides and plastic heels on her feet. Kamiya looked at her with repugnance as the woman stood with one hand on her hip waiting on a reply from Kairo.

"You seriously doing this right now," Kairo rudely said dismissing the girl but she just wasn't getting the message.

"You ain't text me back because of her" she said like she was becoming nauseous with Kam's presence. Kam simply ignored her going back to helping Liyah eat her food but secretly listening to what Kairo had to say to her.

"Yo don't disrespect me and mines and don't you fucking dare to ever step to me again, you understand," he said harshly a bit to loudly making the girl step back a few but still trying to keep her composure and not show that she was scared. By now everyone had turned towards the commotion and silence had filled the place awaiting the next move.

"WHAT THE FUCK YOU LOOKING AT," Kairo called out with base in his voice making everyone go back to their lives acting as if nothing happened. Everybody knew to obey his rules and not disrespect him because they knew the consequences would not be good.

"All these damn people in my business,"'he mumbled. Kairo was a secretive person and only told people what he wanted them to know his family was the only people he expressed his feeling to.

The girl still stood there still waiting for a response from Kairo but all he did was ignore her presence.

"So are you going to text me back," she said standing there looking dumb as if Kairo didn't just diss her.

Silence

"I'll be waiting daddy, once you drop this bitch off come to me"

"Bitch" Kam repeated as she moved her head back a little looking at the girl as if she was crazy.

"Did I stutter bitch," she replied rolling her eyes.

"I ain't gone be too many bitches," Kam said while standing up. She wasn't about to fight the girl because Liyah was there but if she touched her that would've been a whole different story. Kairo stood up as well knowing how Kam could be but hoped she wouldn't do anything right now because Liyah was there.

"Babe calm down, let me handle it," he said grabbing her by the arm pulling her back towards him.

"Don't tell me to calm down and handle it, handle it" she repeated tilting her head at him.

"by handling it you mean by letting her put your dick in her mouth huh," Kam said angrily while snatching her arm from his grasp.

"Aww so you know," the girl spoke while smirking as if she had accomplished something great.

"What is your name," Kam asked confusingly while tilting her head looking at the girl. Her hands were clasped together as she tried to keep her composure.

"Emily," she confidently replied.

"Well Emily next time you step to me I will fuck you up and that is a promise," Kam said while invading Emily's personal space. Kam walked away picking up Liyah and waking out McDonald's as if nothing happened, just wanting to go home.

"You lucky," Kairo said while pointing his finger at Emily before walking out and following Kam to the car. He unlocked the door when he reached and tried to help Kam put Liyah in the car.

"No don't," she said as she did by herself.

"Leave me alone and I can do it," she said with tears in her eyes.

"Baby," he touched her arm.

"NO" she shouted yanking her arm away but scaring Liyah as well.

"Mummy's sorry baby," she said as she kissed her forehead before shutting the door.

"You don't get to call me baby, you don't," she began shaking her head as she started to cry.

"That bitch had the nerve, had the audacity to come step to you, come step to me, you clearly gave that girl some confidence," she said laughing while wiping the tears from her now wet face

"It was a one time thing, I don't even know her like that"

"You even heard her say I didn't take her back," he protested.

"She shouldn't even be able to text you," she shouted while making her way to her side.

"I'm done talking about it" she said ending the conversation.

Fine with that Kairo went to the drivers side and began driving back to the hotel. Kam fell asleep on the way and Kairo thought this would be the best time to bring them back home. So instead of going to the hotel he went to their house.

Finally arriving home, Kairo woke Kam up and took Liyah out the car seat. Kam was so tired she didn't even realise she was at her house, she went to her room and climbed into bed falling back into a deep sleep that was well needed. Kairo was in Liyah's room playing dolls with her. These are the moments he cherished with his daughters and wouldn't trade it for the world. However he did wish that he had a son as well, He had been trying to get Kam pregnant for the past couple of months and he would keep trying until she finally is pregnant with his son.
