Zuri POV: I run into the bedroom and slam the door. I try to hold back any scream or any sob that is begging to escape I grab a suitcase from his side of the room. Emptying his clothes I go towards my walk-in closet grabbing a pile of clothes Placing the suitcase on the bed I start shoving the clothes into it. I go back into the closet to grab underwear The click of the nob turning and the creak of the door opening echo around the room Wiping my tears, I don't bother to look who it is "I'm sorry," James says closing the door behind him I freeze My heart breaks realizing that he chose her instead of me Shoving stuff angrily into the bag, I try to look past the fact that my face is probably stained with tears "Zuri", I ignore him and continue packing "Zuri," he says coming towards me "Get away from me " I try to hold back the sobs that wanna escape my lips He walks towards me and he pulls me into a hug. Hesitant at first, I slowly wrap my arms around him and sob "It's okay
Smiling sweetly at my mom she makes her way into the kitchen. I mean I can't argue with her cause she's partially right. Sighing I pick up the TV remote and flip through the channels a knock is at the door "Come in" I shout and the person makes their presence known "I brought your stuff," he says dragging my suitcase in Looking at his knuckles they're all red .... almost stained with blood. Looking back up at him he's face is bruised and he has a black eye "James what- " "It's nothing Zuri uhm so what are we watching," he says sitting down next to me Switching off the TV I turn to him "James you're like a best friend I have never had so please tell, me what happened" Sighing he turns to me "I went back into the house and I uhm " he clears his throat almost replaying the scene in his head "I found Matt and Mahdia kissing," he says as his fist clenched and unclenched "So I yelled at Matt and well we started throwing punches at each other" he shrugs Looking into space I hav
Matt POV:I was heartbroken when I found out Mahdia passed. I mean I loved the girl and then 1 year later one of my men told me that they found her leaving Jamal's room late at night. I wanted to yell and kill them but I told myself it wasn't worth it.I need to get to Zuri and explainDialing Zuri's cell goes straight to voicemail, dialing James' cell goes straight to voicemailThey need to understand that I didn't tell them my plan because it would have jeopardized everything. I needed them to react the way they did so that Mahdia could believe that I couldn't see past her lies.Dialing Zuri's mom I wait for her to pick upZuri's mom POV:"What's that " I panic looking around"It's your cellphone Mom it's in your pocket" Zuri chucklesLooking down yep my phone's there.

Zuri POV:Seeing Matt's caller ID pop up I ignore it. I am not in the mood to talk to him"Are you okay?" James asked squeezing my shoulder"I don't know I mean I don't want to talk to him but a part of me wants to hear him out" I sigh biting a piece of skin off my lipLooking at my phone I see that he left a voice message. James snatches the phone from me"Look lighten up let's I don't know go for a day spa or something" he shrugsJames is bisexual; his your typical brown hair, brown eyes, perfect jawline perfect body pretty boy not to mention flawless skin except for right now. He really took a few punches"I guess that would help" We both get up from the table"Wait let me say bye to my mom" Running to the kitchen I see Mom baking"Hey uhm me and James are going out for a little while but we'll be back" I lean onto the door frame and she looks up at me"Oh okay be safe.. oh and bring home 2 rotisserie chickens from Woolworths " she smiles shrugging"After all these years you're sti
"We are gathered here to show love and respect to our beloved Matteo Admos. He was a man of loyalty, a man that symbolized strength. His friends and family mourn today as he departs from their lives. I want to bring up someone who loved him through thick and thin someone who founded his establishments with him" The pastor turns to look at MahdiaSobbing she quietly goes up the stairs"Hi my name's Mahdia Smith it was going to be Admos but my fiancé lays dead in front of my eyes and I can't help-""I'm sorry your finance " I yell standing up"Zuri calm down," James says pulling me down to take a seat"No, she can't come into my life and claim that Matt is hers his mine" Running to the stage I grabbed a fistful of her hair and smashed her head repeatedly on the podium"Ahhh somebody get this homewrecker out of here" Mahdia screamed"Homewrecker ... I'll show you, homewrecker""Zuri let go of her your causing a scene" James yells trying to make me stop"I don't care" Grabbing the pen on
"I'm not laughing see" I remove my hand from my mouthThe vehicle enters the driveway and it parks outside the door. Exiting the vehicle we into the houseCasually entering footprints of blood and at least 3 dead men lying on the ground scattered. Horrified I turned to James"James what the fuck happened""I'm not quite sure but I got a call when you were asleep that shit went down here and Mahdia is asking for you "Whimpering is heard coming from the lounge. Looking at each other we make our way around the dead bodiesEntering the lounge, Mahdia has her legs tucked towards her chest. Her body is covered in blood and she's violently shaking. Looking at her hand she's holding a knife I'm guessing it's what she used to kill themShe tilts her head towards us"You" she points at me with the knife"Come here" She places the knife next to her and I look at James for permission to go forward and he nodsWalking toward the couch on the opposite side I sit down in front of her"What's happen
James POV: "I missed you" she smiles pulling away from the kiss "I missed you too" fisting her hair and yanking it back. She hisses from my grip "Now that Zuri knows your secret what are we gonna do" She stares at the ceiling as her eyebrows furrow in curiosity "Well since your ass decided to tell her we have no choice but to go back to my original plan" I grin letting go of her hair "Finally I thought this was my last bit of fun," she says getting up "So now tell me what happened upstairs" I wrap my arms around her waist pulling her towards me "Well... Matt ordered the guards to rape me but we both know I have a CNC kink. So I let them fuck me and then I got bored so I killed them " she says innocently wrapping her hands around my neck. (CNC - consensual non-consent -also known as rape play) "They put their hands on my wife" I pout kissing the crook of her neck "Don't act surprised I know you have the camera footage, you have always had a fetish of other men fucking me" she
Zuri POV:The driver pulls into the hospital parking lot. Thanking him I jump out of the vehicle I need to see MattThe information I found out about James is so confusing. I wonder if Matt knows that he was there. I'm starting to get a feeling that there's something that isn't right hereWalking in I head straight to the waiting roomStopping a nurse she turns to me"Hey uhm I wanted to know if Matt is okay" I desperately state"His still in surgery but I'll let the doctor know you're here once the surgery is successful " She smiles even though I can tell she feels bad for meShe walks away and I turn to go sit down.
