Kingsley Creed The next morning.

The early morning came in and King and Royce was up. Kingsley and Royce stared at the hickey on her neck in the mirror. She wondered if Royce was a vampire on the low. "Im sorry I didn't mean to take it that far." He said feeling bad.

"It will go away. It's not bad." She said. He grabbed her arm and held it up showing the slight bruising on her wrist.

"The other one too." He sighed.

"I didn't even see this until now." She looked at both her wrist.

"Was I too rough?" He asked.

"You were but who doesn't like rough sex." She said. "Don't feel bad. I don't feel any type of way about it."

He nodded his head but still was upset about it. She threw on her shirt and patted his shoulder. "It'll be ok. Don't worry about it." She said before walking out the room.

Once Kingsley gathered her stuff they were ready to leave. Royce had his driver to pick them up and take them to the airport. When they arrived they went there baggage and TSA. It wasn't too long until they got on a private plane.

They sat down and waited for departure. Royce reached over grabbing her hand and kissing it. "What?" She asked as a grin creep on her face.

"Nothing." He said. "In this short amount of time we spent together I do like you."

She smiled at him, then the flight attendant pulled back the curtain pushing in a cart. "Can I get you guys anything?" She asked.

"Yea let me get some Hennessy." Kingsley pointed.

"Hennessy in the morning is crazy." He said. "But hey." He shrugged.

"Are you judging me?" She tilted her head at him. He shook his head. "Oh." She grabbing the glass from the lady.

"Let me just get a sprite." Royce pointed. She gave him a can of sprite before pulling the cart back to the front.

After a while the plane took off. Royce's phone start to ring he gets up and heads to the back of the plane. The flight attendant came back with the cart again this time with snacks.

"Would you like anything from the snack rack?" She asked.

"No thank you, but can I get some more of that Hennessy please?" She asked holding out her glass.

"Of course." She said grabbing her cup. She poured a little before handing it back to Kingsley.

"Thank you." She said before sipping.

"Alright just let me know if you guys need anything I'll be in the front." She gave her a smile before pulling the cart to the front.

Meanwhile Royce was in the back on the phone talking to Dandre who was mad. "I'm so tight right now, I swear to God if you don't get over here and handle this Nigga!" He yelled.

"First off calm down because I can barely understand you. What's good?" He asked.

"Knox and them bitch ass Niggas in that house! I swear to God you need to handle Knox bitch ass before I do! Ain't nobody about to talk to me any kind of way nor boss me around! I do what the fuck I want to do Royce!" Dandre yelled pacing around his room.

Royce deeply sighed rolling his eyes at his brother being dramatic. "I can't come up with a solution if you can't tell me what happened." He said. "And chill with the yelling you about to piss me off."

"Last night I was at the club, none of the girls were on stage. I'm confused because ain't his job to make sure these girls do their job? So I went in the dressing room and they in there chilling like they ain't go shit to do. So I made them go on stage. I ask around for Knox he ain't even at the club. Then the Nigga show up an hour later. Then Evani ole lying ass lied on me saying I grabbed her and pulled her out the dressing."

"Did you?" He asked.

"I didn't even touch her! This morning I asked Knox where he was at last night, he tell me don't worry about it. I asked him why he so hostile towards me because I never did shit to that Nigga." He rant. "I'm fed up with everyone Bro. I'm so close to swinging on Nigga for real."

"Just vibe until I get there. Chill you good." Royce told him. "I'll let you know when I make it back."

"Ight man." He said before hanging up.

Royce walked back to his seat sighing. "It's always something." He said.

"Who was that?" She asked.

"Dandre." He said. "Some shit happened with him and Knox." Kingsley shakes her head. "I need to see what the fuck is going on down here. Set some things straight."

3 hour and 30 minutes later they arrived in Miami, Florida. They grabbed the baggage and walked through the airport seeing a lot of Welcome to Miami signs.

Royce met with his driver before the two followed him outside to the car. The driver helped put away their bags in the truck before leaving. "Are you staying?" She asked.

"Yea just for a few days then I'll head back home." He told her.

"I had a good time in New York. I love it." She said. "The art gallery was my favorite."

He nodded his head. "So last night wasn't?" He asked making her laugh.

She playfully pushed him. "You're nasty." She said. "Where do you stay when you come to Miami?"

"I have a house here. I let Dandre stay in it." He said

"So you own the mansion, penthouse in New York, and another house?" She asked. He nodded his head. "Let me borrow a million I'll give it back to you tomorrow." She joked.

"Your funny, but honestly I would let you stay but it wouldn't be fair to the rest of the girls."

"YeaI understand." She said. "Did you let Knox know we are on the way?"

"Yea I texted him earlier." He looked at the time on his phone. "Yea everyone should be up by now."

While they were on the way to the house. Knox was sitting in his office on his phone until Evani walked in. "Question, which outfit for the theme tonight. The pink one or purple?" She asked holding up both her outfit the night.

"Neither they both horrible- do you bitch know how to dress? I got to do everything for y'all." He rolled his eyes. "And learn how to knock."

"I hate you." She glared at him before kicking over his trash can. "Now clean that shit up bitch." She walked out slamming the door.

Knox got out his seat and picked up the trash before running out his office. He ran around the corner seeing Evani walking up the steps.

She started running after seeing him on the corner of her eye. He chase her up the steps and caught her. He puts her in a head lock while she laughed uncontrollably. "Look here! Im sick of all y'all! My blood pressure has been through the roof! I have had it up to here with you. You keep playing and imm throw yo ass over this railing." He said. "Say you sorry."

"Im sorry." She giggled. He removed his arms from her neck then pushed her. "Ok bitch don't push me."

"Who you calling a bitch?" He bucked at her cocking his fist back.

She didn't flinch not one bit instead she stared at him. "Grow at least 7 more inch then you can intimidate me." She said going up the rest of the steps.

"Bruh they be dogging yo ass." Cordell laughed as he ate chips.

Knox jumped up and down like a child throwing a tantrum. He ran his hands down his face. "I'm about to loose my fucking mind." He said. "I need a drink."

"The hell wrong with you?" Cordell looked at him crazy before laughing. "Nigga why you throwing tantrums? You a grown ass man."

Knox came down the steps. "You want my job?" He asked. "You think you can handle the mood swing, the fighting, the yelling, and the nonstop disrespect?"

"Hell nah, but kudos to you my nigga." He said. "Nah but for real I don't think you realize you be starting with they ass. When you go low they go to hell and you get frustrated." Cordell shrugged. "Look I know what you need, you need some pussy. You know Amber setting up a neon party theme at the club. It's going to be packed out tonight. Grab you some hoes and go fuck something."

"Nah Knox just don't fuck anything." He said.

"Ok so what you trying to do? I can cover you fasho." He said. "I can get you and Evani a night together.

"Hell nah, Nigga Royce literally on his way here. Imagine that Nigga find out I'm having sexual contact with one of them he will be pissed." He said.

"Alright, shit just let me know when you gonna do it. I'm telling you I can cover for you. I'll get the girls to and from the club and Royce won't know." He said.

"Nah it's alright." He said.

Nay and the rest of the girls came running downstairs. "What's going on? Why y'all running?" Knox asked.

"Kingsley is here!" Noami said.

"We should wait until she come in so when can surprise her." Nay said.

Knox pushed his way through the girls and stood in the front. "I got to be in the front because-"

"You the baddest we know." Cherish rolled her eyes.

Knox faces her and pointed his finger in her face. She pretended to bite him. "I'm sick of all of y'all." He said making them giggle. "Y'all laughing. Ain't nothing funny."

"Poor baby, he can dish it out but can't take it." Charity said making the girls laugh.

The front door unlocks and opens. Royce and Kingsley walks through the door greeted by the girls. Kingsley couldn't help but to smile as she was attacked with a group hug.

"Move, let her breathe damn." Knox push every single girl out the way before he bear hugged Kingsley. "You're the only one that don't insult me."

"Girl he been on his period for about a week now don't mind him." Evani said.

"Don't be surprised when I beat her up." He said making Kingsley laugh.

"Whatever come on we got to talk." Evani grabbed Kingsley hand taking her upstairs as the girls followed.

"Why that young man got hickey on her neck?" Knox asked placing his hands on his hips.

"I don't know." Royce smile. "Chill with the name calling."

Knox stopped him before he walked away. "You fucked?" He asked.

"What are you talking about?" He asked.

"Nigga you can't fool me. I know what happened. She ain't give herself a hickey." Knox sucked his teeth as Royce began to laugh. "You a hypocrite ass Nigga. How she let you fuck? She didn't even fuck with none of us before."

Royce jerked his head back. "Nigga I'm a charm. Y'all niggas don't got this charm. Y'all got to work 10 times harder for pussy. Me I get it just like that." He snapped his fingers.

"So what now?" Knox asked.

"Ion know." He said. "I'm not sure what I want to do with her. But if I don't make a choice soon I'll start showing favoritism."

"Please hurry up and make a decision because I'm sick of bitches fighting." He said.

"Speaking of that where Amber?" He asked.

"Up in her room in her feelings. I don't know what for." He shrugged.

"Alright, I appreciate you for holding everything down. I know it can be frustrating but I got something in mind for you later." Royce dapped him up before sharing a hug. "Let me go talk to Amber real quick."

In Kingsley room,she showed the girl the hickeys on her body. The gasps cover their mouths. "I knew it! Didn't I tell y'all they was going to do it!" Evani jumped up. "Did you wear the lingerie I packed for you?"

"No, I didn't get the chance. It just happened." She said.

"I know it was big, was it?" Nay asked.

Kingsley nodded her head. "Heart almost fell out my chest the way it was beating so fast." She said making the girls laugh.

"Amber is going to be so pissed." Charity giggled. "She really thought that was her man."

"It never was. They never had sex." She told them. Their eyes widen and mouths dropped.

"You for real? Royce told you?" Cherish asked.

"His cousin, he told me he would only bring her to New York for business. Before me and Asia came he wanted to move you guys to New York in a house kinda like this. He basically just wanted a second opinion." She said.

"Bro so she be lying?" Evani sucked her teeth. "Lame as hell."

"No for real has us thinking she hit jackpot." Nay rolled her eyes. "Obviously you did and came back with proof."

"So what going to happen now?" Charity asked.

Kingsley shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. He says he likes me but it probably just could've been a one time thing." She said.

"Tell us again how it went." Nay cheesed as they get comfortable to listen to her tell it again.

Meanwhile Royce found his way in Amber's room. "You out of all people shouldn't be fighting."

"I don't understand why your not grilling Naomi ass right now. She started with me so I finished it. All these bitches keep fucking with and I'm not supposed to do anything about it?" She spoke as tears streamed down her face. "Now I feel like it's everyone against me."

"Well you know how Kingsley felt. You kept picking at her until she barked back." He chuckled. "They just giving you a taste of your own medicine. You'll be alright champ."

"It's no way you think this is funny." She wiped her face. "You and your stupid ass brother are just alike." She rolled her eyes.

"I'm laughing to keep myself from getting mad to be honest. I did some thinking. I was going to give you just one strike but now that I thought about I might as go ahead and give you three-"

"Three I only fought once and I haven't said anything to anybody else!" She yelled.

"Four because you yelling at me. I can easily make it five and put you on the market and make some phone calls. So you let me know what you want to do."

He watch her eyes water, not one tear soften his heart. He meant what he said. Amber had been way out of line and it was time to put her in her place.

He left her room closing her door. He goes back downstairs to find Knox. Another thing he wanted to discuss was the issue between him and his little brother.

He found Knox sitting in his office with Cordell and joined them. "Put ole girl on her fourth strike." He said.

"Damn just like that?" Knox asked.

"Yea." He said. "And I think I want to change something's about the fighting rules. Whoever attacked who first get a strike." He said.

"Tuh! Kingsley must've put that magic on yo ass." Knox laughed. "But I guess."

"She told me Amber been picking at her since the first day she step foot in the house. The more I look at it from her point of view the more I understand her."

"I've been trying to tell yo ass that." Knox shakes head. "Now I'm actually hurt. You wasn't trying to hear it when I was trying to tell you but now that's she gave you some pussy you want to hear everything out."

"Chill out, it's not like that." Royce chuckled. "Well it kinda is but we ain't about to talk about that. I want to get into what the fuck happened between you and Dandre."

Knox whole demeanor went from joking to annoyed. "No disrespect because I know this your lil brother but I'm don't fuck with him. I never did to be honest. Who did you put in charge of these girls?" He asked.

"You-"

"Exactly I don't need that lil ass boy trying to tell me what the fuck I should do and how to do it." He said feeling his temper rise.

"Alright but calm down because you ain't talking to Dandre." Royce cleared.

"Whatever nigga but next time he step on my toes trying to me what I should do I'm packing him up and you do what you got to do at the end of the day, I'm not letting nobody bitch me." Knox said with all seriousness. "I'm just being honest. I respect everyone. I know I joke with the girl and stuff, but I do respect them even Amber because she still a women at the end of the day, but you gotta put yo lil brother in check.

Cordell nodded his head agreeing with Knox. "I think Dandre feels like your his brother you'll let him do whatever. When we try to tell him to chill and know your place he get hella mad." Cordell said.

Royce nodded his head taking in all this information. "And another thing I don't want him over here while I'm not here." Knox said.

"What you mean?" Royce asked knitting his eyebrows through.

"Young bull is weird yo. He packed Kingsley up one tike in the room." Cordell said. "Didn't he Knox?"

"Yea he hit her but he ain't know I was listening type shit." He said. "I spoke to him about him about it I told him I was going to tell what happened and he basically said you won't believe me."

"Alright I'll talk to him." Royce deep sighed. "What's that?" He pointed to the flyer sitting on the desk.

"Amber hosting an event tonight. I guess it a birthday bash." He said.

"On a Monday night?" Royce made a confused face.

"Yea, it's going to be packed out tonight. Radio and everything been promoting this." Cordell said.

"I'm not complaining as long as my money rolling in just fine." He chuckled.

Later on the night Kingsley was in the dressing room. Nay helped her pick out a neon green outfit.

Evani handed Kingsley a shot of tequila. She threw her head back taking the shot and made a sour face. "Ok two shots is enough."

"Yea we don't need to be drunk drunk. It's just to help us get in the mood." She said.

"The body is bodying." Nay slaps her ass. "You need to help me get in shape."

"Yea because being shaped like a capri-sun is sad."Evani chuckled.

"Bitch." Nay gave her the middle finger.

"Kingsley?" Cherish called. "Oh someone requested you in the private room."

"Private room?" She looks at Evani confused since she's never been in there.

"You just go and give a customer and private dance. They pay extra too." She said. "You really don't even have to do much. Sometimes they just want to talk."

"Oh ok." She said running her fingers through her hair. She hurried out the dressing following Cherish.

"You know who's in there?" She asked.

"Nah the security guard just told me they wanted you." She said leading her to that same dark hallway Asia and her were abducted in but this time it had red light at the end of the hall.

"Make that money girl." Cherish said before walking away.

She walked down the hallway not know which room to go in. She picked a random door and opened the door. Her eyes landed on Royce who was wiping blood off a machete.

She looked down at the dead body on the floor. Royce motioned for her to come in.

Knox grabbed her wrist and pulled her in the room and slammed the door. "Come here." He said. She shook her head. He puts down the machete. "Look I put it down. I got to tell you something."

He held out his hand. Cordell pushed her towards him. She went right into his arms. "You been drinking?" He asked. She frowned and began to cry. He turned her around and wrapped his arms around her. "We don't shed tears for the enemy. Wipe your face." He spoke with a stern tone. "He was going to kill me if I didn't get him first."

She wiped her face then closed her eyes. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. He kissed her cheek. "Where you supposed to be at?" He whispered in her ear.

"P-private room." She said.

"No, I want you to go back to the house with Knox and wait for me." He said. "You got sick and didn't feel good so Knox took you back to the house to lay down. Ok?"She nodded her head.

"Cordell and the rest of y'all this up in the plastic." Knox said the guys.

Royce kissed her cheek one more time. "I'm sorry you had to see that." He whispered in her ear.
