The next day Seven's pov

I stayed up all night, not a ounce of sleep. This wasn't a part of the plan. She's gone. She's missing. Who could have done this?! I've been trying to piece together the whole day but nothing was adding up.

Me, Mono, Don, Tyree, And Quan were all at Don's house. We've searched all night and all over. The dried tears on my face and heavy bags can never express the amount of pain and hurt I'm in. Don ass was giving a lecture to the body guards that were on watch last night. One of them said they were watching her, and that she went into the bathroom but never came out. Another one said that they've searched it, the only thing they found was her gloves that was sitting on the edge of the sink.

I couldn't listen anymore. We're getting no where. I got up off the couch and headed to the front door. "Where you going?" Said Mono. "I don't know, home maybe, Or driving around to clear my head" I said while walking out the front door. Mono soon followed me to my car and stopped me from closing it. "We gone find ha Ight? We good" he said. "I hope so" I replied. He letted my car door go and allowed me to close it. I drove around all day listening to my music lowly. This whole situation is driving me insane, silent tears have been pouring from my face all day, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

Nyla's pov

The sound of the strange voices woke me up out of a state of unconscious. A blindfold has been placed on my eyes along with a bag over my head. I'm scared. I don't know what going on. I tried to scream "HELP" but nothing came out but muffled sounds because of the duck tape that was over my mouth. I even tried to move but my legs were tied down to the chair and my hands were handcuffed to a flat surface in front of me.

I started to cry not knowing what to do. "She's awake" the strange voice said. I immediately became quiet, trying to sense where the voice came from. The bag suddenly was snatched off of my head but I still couldn't see because of the blindfold. My heart started pounding.

"Take her blindfold Off" the voice said. When the person did my eyes was hurting from the intense light from the ceiling of the room. When my eyes adjusted I looked around and I seen about 3 people but one caught my eye. a familiar face. The mysterious man that Don took me to do a deal with. There he was in-front of me. He used his hands to lean on the table and look at me. He weared a white Tee, it was tight enough to show his muscle. That same neck tat was there but I also noticed his sleeve tats that I didn't see the last time I've seen him. Interrupting my gaze he said "Wassup." I didn't say anything, I just looked at him. "Oh im sorry you can't talk" he said while taking the duck tape off carefully.

"My name is Marquis. Streets call me 5iftey" he said now sitting on the table. I still gave him no answer. "...I'm not here to harm you, your boyfriend owe me. See down here in Chicago he got his name in the streets like dope, like he god or sum. People fear him. But me? I knew that nigga since we was youngins, he don't move one bone in my body" he said in a low and deep tone. One bead of tear went down my face, millions of thoughts went through my head. Am I going to die? Is he going to torture me?

"I was appalled when he didn't give me what I wanted. If you buy you should receive right?...what really appalled me was seeing you with him, Nyla." He said. How does he know my name? What's going on? He continued speaking " you probably don't remember me, that fine considering that was a long long time ago." He said cocking his neck. Something caught his eye. "What happened to your neck" he said squinting those brown seductive eyes. Shit my makeup must've rubbed off, I thought to myself. "Nothing" I replied. "Ohhhh she talks" he said.

He continued saying "but if it was nothing then it would've been in one spot, it's all over yo neck. Like a ring almost." I didn't say anything I just looked down at the table. "He hit you?" He said. I still Said Nothing. "you listening I'm talking" he said while reaching out his hand to move my hair out of my face. While he was doing that I flinched and moved a little. He stopped mid way and scrunched his eyebrows making a curious expression. "Relax, I was just moving yo hair out yo face...he do hit you huh" he said.

"You're too pretty to let that nigga mess you up like that....It's cool if you don't want to talk. Just listen....I've been watching him for a min, it wasn't always me it would've been one of my workers sometimes" ugh here we go again with the workers or bodyguards I said thinking to myself. "I was trying to see how I could get him. At first I was going to kill him. But his mom is like my mom and my mom is like his. So it's like we bruddas, but bruddas...don't do snake shit. I didn't have a plan until the day I saw you.." as he was saying that I looked up at him in disgust. "You saw me and kidnapped me because of him?!?!" I said furious. "Do you know what you've done. He probably thinks that I've ran away. ARE YOU DUMB?!? Not only is he going to kill me but, you...you are beyond dead." I said. "Calm down, you not listening. Can I Finish talking and then we can consider getting you some protection if that's really what you want" he said calmly. "Protection?!? For me...YOU need more than protection Martin or what ever your name is." I replied. " Marquis...not Martin, I taught Don what he knows shorty...he isn't anything compared to me when I don't get what I want. He must've gotten in your head or something. I feel bad for you, you a lil pretty thang, How long has he been beating on you" he said.

"That's none of your business, you need to let me go I'm telling you" I replied. He didn't say anything he just stared at me. "Why you so scared of that nigga, yo momma ain't neva teach about them kinda niggas and shit?" He said. "I don't have one" I replied. "Oh my fault, I didn't know. Look, I'm just gone tell you straight up. You not going anywhere, not to be on no possessive shit but...not until I get what I want. So like I said I'm not here to harm you or nun of that so-" he was saying as I cut him off "then why am I tied up." I said with a attitude.

"Because Ian know how you was gone react. But uh...by how much you screaming let me go I'm not untying you anytime soon." He said. "Can you please let me go I'm trying to be nice I don't want to hurt you" I replied. " You a lil feisty ain't you" he said chuckling. "But yo lil ass can't hurt me. You can't even get out them chains if you wanted to. So calm yo lil ass down" he said. He looked at his Rolex to tell the time. "Listen I gotta go, I'll be back tonight.. don't try nun crazy, Ight?" He said. I gave him no answer. "Cool" he said as he walked out of the room.

Don's pov Me and the gang been trynna find her all day, we ain't getting no whea. We were sitting at the trap running out of ideas thinking what's next until I got a phone call from 5iftey. Which was weird, one of my workers, jacey, ganked one of his workers out they money. I answered saying "wassup?" He replied saying "You know what I want, but since I gave you time to fix yo actions and you didn't, you getting charged interest." "Nigga what? You on my motha fucking phone trynna boss me? Nigga do you know who I am" I replied. "A nigga who bouta lose his bitch if he think I'm playing around. I'm from the south. Ion play about money and especially product. When you play with product, you playing with business along with my pockets." 5iftey replied. "Nigga what?" I replied "Punk ass nigga you heard me. You got 6 hours to come up with my shit." *click*

When he hung up on me I was heated. Now that I know who took Nyla it was a big problem. " AYE GET YAL ASS IN HERE" I yelled to everyone in the office. They all came flocking like chickens in a coop. "That nigga 5iftey got Nyla, he want some fucking product all because jacey bitch ass wanted to play and gank one of his workers out of the product." I said turning to him. Pulling out my gun I told him " do you know the consequences of yo actions dumb ass nigga?" When I did that everyone around him moved away and stared at him. " Woah woah woah, I didn't think it was one of 5iftey boys, I mean they not even from Chicago they from Atlanta" he said.

"Nigga I wouldn't give a fuck if it was a crack head on the street. Rule number one when selling to ANYBODY is what?" I replied. "Never flodge about no paper, especially product" jacey replied. "So not only did you know the rules, you started a war between Me and that nigga 5iftey." I replied. Before Jacey could even get a word out I shot that nigga point blank range in his skull. He dropped down to the floor and a pool of blood surrounded him. "Clean that shit up" I told one of the maids.

"Everybody get the fuck out" I yelled. Everyone left except Mono, Tyree, and Quan. I sat at the table thinking of my next move. Ion know why 5iftey trynna play me like ima hoe or sum. He not getting what the fuck he want, especially after the move he just pulled. Me and him was brothers, I don't see why he didn't feel the need to ask about it. Instead his dumb ass took matters into his own hands.

"So what's the move" Quan said. "I'm thinking about killing him and that nigga whole crew, then ima take his fucking empire." I replied. "I'm down for what ever" Tyree said. "Nah you gotta think this shit through" Mono replied. He continued saying "I know you mad right now, I would be too, but killing him at the moment won't help us find Nyla. What if he won't tell us where he got her?" To think about it, Mono was actually right. "We should go for his workers, he obviously didn't do it on his own. Some of the niggas had to be at seven's party. So let's start with finding out who and getting info from them" Quan said.

"Right right, and when we find out where he keeping her then and only then can we kill that nigga and take his empire" Tyree added. I gotta say these nigga keep me in check and in the right mindset. I often act without thinking shit through, which has some bad outcomes. But this time? I'm definitely taking my time with this shit. * * * * * * * * Anddd that's a wrap for chapter 12. 13 should come out later tonight or tmr around noon. Also, who did yal think took Nyla before this chapter came out?🫠
