Crossing Shadows Chapter 1 1

"Girl bring ya ass down here!" Rebecka shouted

I rolled my eyes "Aight, I'm coming!"

Rolling off the bed, I walked over to my dresser pulling out a pair of socks and slipped my Puma slides on. As I walked past my desk I grabbed my phone & keys making my way down the stairs to Rebecka.

"Beitch, why it take yoh so long ta get yo' ratchet ass downstairs?" Rebecka spoke through her thick southern accent

I laughed "It takes time to look this fine"

"Fine where hoe?" She laughed pushing her curly hair out of her face

I narrowed my eyes at her smiling "Bitch you the only hoe here, a hoe with a capital H"

Rebecka flicked me off. I chuckled "Nah bitch that's Ray Ray's job" I threw her a wink

Rebecka's light skinned cheeks turned a tint of pink, she hit me on my left arm dumb hard "Shut up!"

Chuckling I shake my head "Come on lets go, they probably waiting for us"

Nodding Rebecka pushed my out the door, snatching the keys from my hand and locked the door behind herself. We walked out of the lobby to Rebecka's BMW 2016 model, the car was all black with tinted and silver shiny rims. After we climbed into the car, Rebecka started the car and drove off. Three minutes into the ride I started humming to a song that played on the radio.

"Girl, did yoh know that Jayden goht locked up?" Rebecka asked turning the radio down

Scrunching my face up "No-" I shook my head "-I didn't know. You dead ass?"

Rebecka nodded "Yea, no joke dead ass serious. I found out from Reko" A sigh left my lips I put my head in my hands shaking my head "Girl, he was like a brother to me. That boy was my fake brother"

Rebecka made a right before making a left, she laughed "Bitch last time I checked fake brothers and sisters don't fuck each other"

Picking my head out out of my hands I gave her the 'Shut the fuck up' look "lon even care; that boy stroke game was on point no thotto"

No Thotto means not trying to be a thot or a hoe, so don't take it as if I'm being a thot or hoe. No offense to those thots & hoes out there. It was something me & Rebecka made up.

"Come on, we're here" Rebecka told me climbing out of the car

I followed after her walking past the alleyway. We walked into the lounge that was filled with people, the smoke in the air was a mixture of weed, strawberries and watermelon hookah smoke. I followed behind Rebecka as she lead me to our group of friends.

"Hey Z" Ryan greeted getting up pulling me onto a hug

He grabbed my butt, I pulled away and slapped him. Ryan laughed pulling me close to him, his lips hovered over my neck. I punched him in the chest "Move nxgga" I told him mushing him out of my way

Backing up Ryan plopped down next to his girlfriend. I know such a shame, he can't be loyal his hoeing ass. Keyandra ran up to me picking me up, I wrapped my legs around her.

"My bitchh!" She shouted

I laughed "Hey Hoe"

Keyandra put me down cheesing hella hard "Girl, you looking fine as hell"

I looked at her through the corners of my eyes, I paused for a couple of minutes "He gave you some good D"

Keyandra laughed rolling her eyes at me "What ever hoe"

I smiled shaking my head. We sat down, Chrissy sized me up handing me her hookah pen. Chrissy is a Lesbian, at some point she liked me she was kinda mad at me when I get told her I don't swing that way, I mean we cool now, I guess. Chrissy still be tryna flirt with me, I usually try to ignore it.

"What kind is it?" I asked her

She raised an eyebrow slightly "Watermelon"

I nodded taking a hit of it. Before we go any further, I don't fuck with drugs, at all. I tried weed before but, I don't like it so there for I don't fuck with that either. Also I don't fuck with tobacco, the hookah pens I smoke don't have tobacco or nicotine in it.

"Get big, Get lil booty bitch, Go to sleep when I hit you with this dxck, Swing yo' arms, Bent yo' knees, If you ain't got no fake weave Pause, Go to sleep" The speakers sang

Shawn got up and started to rollie to the song. Keyandra got up dancing with Shawn, I laughed as I recorded them.

"Ci-Cee, get cho ass over hea" A deep guys voice yelled over the loud music

Next to me Chrissy stiffened, the buff brown skinned guy stalked over towards us with two more guys behind him. He got closer Chrissy had a look of panic, Keyandra walked away towards the bathroom. Ryan narrowed his eyes at the screen on his phone, Shawn sat back down, Star-Ryan's girlfriend- sunk into her chair. Rebecka looked scared, Dre had his arms wrapped around Rebecka.

"Ci-Cee, waht the fuck I tell yoh?" The guys rough voice spoke

Chrissy didn't reply, she looked down playing with her fingers. The guy got mad at Chrissy's lack of response, all you heard was 'smack'. I scrunched my face up at him, Chrissy's whole left side of her face was red.

I shoot up so fast "What the fuck is wrong with you?" I snapped "Putting yo' hands on a female, you know what that makes you?"

The guy looked at me like I was crazy, the two guys behind him laughed.

"Do yoh kno' who I am?" The buff brown skin asked

I smirked "Would you really like me to answer that? I got a feelin' you not gonna like my answer"

The guy grabbed me by the arm pulling me towards him roughly, the tall light skinned guy with gray eyes spoke up "No, yoh don't" He stated.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
