Ajani Turner

I lit incense and pulled my hair up while making sure my playlist was set. Once that was finished I preceded to cleanup while humming along to music I hadn't heard in awhile or since I was in Jamaica. I was doing this partially because my family had left the day before and after my doctors appointment this morning I was overthinking everything.

I was pregnant and I was excited for Knox to have a younger sibling as was Kaine. It was just that today I felt like having some time to myself to adjust and let the news sink in. I wanted to map out a game plan for myself like I did with Knox and I wanted to clean up around our home which was a bit messy from my younger brothers and Knox getting into stuff.

Placing my sons toys into the bin I straightened the pillows on the couch making sure they looked nice. I fixed the blanket that was folded over the back of the couch and I made sure that there was not a single crumb on the floor. Placing my hand on my hip I eyed the spotless room once I was done and used the remote to turn the music down some.

The front door opened and I waited to see who it was. The door closed and the locks turned before Aaron appeared in the doorway and took in how nice the living room looked. He walked over and hugged me before he took a step back and held the straps of his bag.

"Kaine took Knox to the pets store to get more fish for the aquarium but I imagine they'll come back with something else" I said and Aaron smiled small. He was wearing his new clothes and seemed to be in a better mood considering he'd went to the mall with Johan who volunteered to spend time with him.

"Today was a good day. Two boys even spoke today in the food court" he said and I pointed to the couch and he and I both sat down. I touched his short hair that was soft and styled similar to my sons hair and Aaron smiled again.

"I'm not gay Jani. I know I like girls and woman, there's something about Rihanna and Gabrielle Union that makes me feel funny on the inside. I just don't think I'm ready for girls yet and I'm not ready to grow up fully yet. I wish I knew why I was like this but I don't" he said quietly.

"Did something traumatic in your childhood happen? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to but I can find someone for you that maybe you'd be more comfortable with" I explain and Aaron bit his lip without meaning to while he thought.

"My mom always wanted a girl. But she had all boys" he whispered and I got the hint looking up at me with helpless eyes and I nodded deciding to go through with getting the therapist.

My phone rung and I looked at Khan's number. He was still in the city and had postponed his stay for an extra day to check out how security was behaving and to see what I was talking about with the mob.

"Why don't you go eat a snack and start your homework" I smiled and he got the hint. Once Aaron left out I grew serious and folded both of my legs.

"You were right they're everywhere gyal. Jennifer Accardi apparently wants in on her fathers business almost like she's coming for you or something" Khan said and I smiled.

"She wants to be a big gyal now. I can't wait, this is interesting" I said growing a smile as I looked at my nails.

"Don't engage her for too long. Something small can turn into something big real quick and you got another likkle one on the way. Don't forget about that meeting with that mon later on, show him no respect " Khan said and I laughed.

"I'm not cocky and I know better bwoy and you know how bored I've been lately. I'll let the gyal make the first move so I can finish it and the man that wants to meet I'll meet him" I responded bluntly.

"Kill them all. Nobody survives" Khan said coldly and I nodded to myself. I wondered would Jenny tell me on her death bed where she got her purse from, I liked it a lot.

"Bwoy can you do me one more favor before you go back to the island?" I questioned and he chuckled to himself and awaited my request.

"I want you to fix things with Yoli. If you wanna be with her then do it and if you don't then cut her loose and stop playing with her, she's an ally and you're being messy. Her fadda is friends with my fadda and we don't need bad blood" I explain and my uncle sighed.

"Whatever you say gyal. Speaking of your friend she just came into the room" Khan said and I could hear him pass the phone to Yoli.

"Ajani did you see what they're saying in Instagram about Kaine?" Yoli questioned quickly and I rolled my eyes.

"No I deleted my Instagram and I don't care" I replied knowing it was probably some cheating rumor or whatever.

"That India woman is saying that she's fucking him and apparently pregnant with his child and posted ultrasounds and talking about how she fucked him the night before" she said and I rolled my eyes.

"Even though he was home in pain all night cuddling with our son? Don't feed into that because I don't care about the gyal. I'll call you back" I explain and Yoli agreed.

I heard Knox giggling about something as the front door opened. Standing up from my spot I walked out of the living room and was greeted by Knox who ran to me.

"Kitty!" He exclaimed as I lifted him up and kissed his cheek wondering what he was talking about.

"Kitty?" I questioned as I watched Kaine struggle to close the front door. He wasn't using his crutches like he was suppose to.

I spotted a small grey kitten in his hands and I looked at him with wide eyes as Knox reached out for it.

"You didn't get the fish did you?" I questioned and he cursed under his breath. I laughed and watched Kaine limp passed me and sit the kitten on the ground.

"They're in the car. I got four of them and they're in the passenger seat" He said and I nodded and took his keys from him.

Pulling the front door open I stepped out with Knox still on my hip and went to the car. One of my neighbors was an older nosey woman always asking questions.

"I have never seen a couple so young with a baby living in this type of environment. Is your family wealthy? You aren't a stripper are you?" She questioned like I knew she would and I rolled my eyes.

"Yes we come from money and no I'm not a stripper, are you?" I questioned and she pursed her lips together and continued to shovel snow off of her steps.

Unlocking the car I grabbed the fish out and shut the door again hitting the locks. The woman watched me taking in my clothes and I looked her over as well and I noticed a large scratch on the side of Kaine's car.

"Do you mind keeping your music down? When I'm having my piano students over I'd appreciate it if you didn't play loud music and another thing there's always this strong smell coming from your place it gives me a headache and it makes me sick and I'd imagine how that would affect your child" she said and I stared at her before I smiled politely.

"My son is fine so stop your faux outrage gyal and we'll be sure to keep the music down" I replied walking away from her. Kaine never smoked around Knox, ever and I didn't even like for him to smoke in the house but he still smoked in our bedroom with the window open or in the bathroom which is why she smelled it so strong but the normal person who walked around our house wouldn't smell it.

I lowered Knox to the ground once I closed the door and locked it. Kaine was setting up everything and I helped my son pull his coat off.

"No more smoking here. If you have to smoke then go for a drive but not anymore that gyal next door is complaining and what happened to your car?" I questioned him.

"I don't know and I'm trying to not get angry about it. When we came out of the store there was a fucking scratch on it" he said and the tone of his voice startled Knox who was playing with the kitten.

Once he finished he took the fish from me and I sighed before squatting down removing Knox's shoes from his feet.

"What's his name bambino?"I questioned watching Knox point at the kitten. I pulled him into me and kissed his cheek.

"Kaine" he repeated and my eyes widened. I didn't know he knew how to say Kaine's name and that made me laugh.

"That's papá's name. You wanna name him after papá?" I questioned watching my son stare at the cat who was licking himself.

"Bam!" He exclaimed and I laughed watching him giggle and run after the cat. Standing up I noticed Kaine was coming out of the living room.

"He wants to name the cat Kaine or Bam, I'm not sure" I tell him and he smiled weakly and tried to move passed me but I stopped him.

"What's wrong?" I questioned seeming his facial expression change. I wrapped my arms around his neck but he wouldn't look at me.

"I'm in so much pain right now I wanna cry. I should've stayed in the hospital, my body hurts so bad" Kaine said with his voice sounding strained.

"I told you to stay home and relax and you left anyway" I said moving my arms. I helped Kaine up the staircase as I struggled to support his weight.

When we got to our bedroom he laid down and arched his back some as a few tears fell and he rolled over. I got his pain medication and watched him take it and wash it down with some water.

"I'm going to tell Aaron about the cat and then I'm going to get Bambino settled before I shower and leave. Okay?" I questioned and Kaine frowned.

"Where the fuck are you going?" He asked and I stared at his rude ass before I sat down on the bed.

"I have business to tend to I'll be back in like two hours and then I can baby you if that's what you want" I explain.

"What's for dinner?" He questioned and I smacked my teeth and he laughed and grabbed my arm without moving his body to much.

"Do you want mac and cheese with friend chicken papi chulo?" I mocked as I leaned down and kissed his lips causing him to laugh.

"Si sexy" he replied laying down and I playfully rolled my eyes as I went to go do what I had to do trying to keep from climbing on top of him.

"This seems kinda sketchy gyal. Something don't feel right" Johan said as an older man entered the restaurant. He was dark skin and oddly resembled Kaine a lot which creeped me out minus my husband being a little lighter and having his hair grown out.

"My names Carlos. Stand up and greet me" he said with an odd accent. I raised an eyebrow but folded my arms and remained seated taking in all the grey in his beard and hair.

"No. I don't feel like it but if you want to sit down and stand back up to greet me I have no problem with that, bwoy" I stated and he began to chuckle to himself while we eyed each other.

"I'm old enough to be your grandfather. I don't think I'm a little boy anymore" he said and Johan looked him over.

"You made a last minute meeting with her bwoy. You're old enough to be her grandfather so you should no fucking better so either do what she said or get to stepping old man!" My brother snapped and the man smiled brightly.

Some of the men he brought along attempted to pull out guns until they realized they were surrounded and had guns shoved in their faces.

"How much you think he'll bleed when I blow his head clean off his fucking shoulders? Maybe we should let him live and drain the blood from his body, kill him nice and slow and cut his limbs off and spread his body out like the last bwoy" Johan said as he held a large gun up.

"It doesn't have to be like this. I heard about the brewing beef with the Accardi's and I could be of some assistance" Carlos explained.

"Why? What can you do for me that I can't do for myself?" I questioned folding one of my legs over the other. I kept a blunt facial expression not really feeling anything.

"Look at my face and tell me you don't see it or the resemblance. I look like your son" he whispered with a chuckle and Johan pressed the gun to his head.

"I just can't figure it out. Are you Kaine's father or his grandfather?" I questioned bluntly figuring it out.

"His father was my son, didn't do much for the young man while he was on earth but I did help create him, hence why your last name is Turner and not Caruso.

"Carlos Caruso of the Caruso crime family. This is ironic and such a small world, what do you want with me and my husband" I said leaning back with a raised eyebrow.

"I may be a deadbeat but I don't kill family. Probably would of left you both alone had I not heard about you and the Accardi family getting into it, that gives us something in common. Well that and I found out that Ohaji was your great uncle" he stated and I smiled.

"So you're the connect he was sending to meet with me when I asked his advice" I said as it all clicked and he smiled.

"Your uncle is actually in New York, both of them. They had dinner at my restaurant last night and they've been snooping around" Carlos said and I shared a look with Johan.

"That's interesting. They didn't say they were visiting" I smiled giving one of my guards a look to calm down because some of them seemed to grow concerned, but they had no reason to.

"You want to kill the Accardi family go ahead. But I won't depend on you to handle something for me especially if I could do it. I'm also under strict orders to never make friends with the mob so anything else you have to say to me bwoy can be said to my husband. Who you were to coward to see yourself" I explain while standing up.

"If I would've met you when I was a young man, you probably would've been my wife, you're probably the most beautiful woman I've ever seen and your intelligence adds to the appeal" he explained like a creep.

Johan kept the gun pointed at him until we walked out of the meeting spot. The guards knew to hold them up until we were gone so nobody followed.

"You think Kaine knows about him or any of this? He talked a whole lot about nothing and he should've known it wasn't okay to come to you" Johan said as we got into his car.

"But uncle O sent him, obviously he's trustworthy somewhat. I'm not saying we have to get in good with the mob because we aren't and this has nothing to do with us. If he takes out the Accardi family then he does but we aren't going to sit back and wait" I explain and my brother smiled.

"Gyal you don't know what you're missing out on with this game. I think you should join" Johan said and I laughed to myself.

"I'll leave it to you that's your thing. I kill only when I feel like it or if need be" I explain and he laughed obnoxiously.

He continued to drive going in the opposite direction of where I live with a smirk on his face. Resting my head back some I sung along to the radio quietly wondering where he was taking me or what he was doing.

Afte a good fifteen minutes spent in the car he pulled up to an apartment building and I spotted India and grew a little angry. She was talking to a woman and rubbing her flat stomach obviously feeding her lies.

My brother licked his lower lip and handed me the blade he'd had since he was young. I thought about it for awhile before watching the woman walk away and noticed nobody was around.

India walked to her apartment located on the first floor and went inside. Her door was visible from outside and none of her neighbors were around outside which didn't really matter to me.

"Get the duct tape, Jo" I said to my brother as I climbed out of the car. He turned his car up and grabbed the duct tape I knew for a fact he kept in the glove compartment.

I tucked the blade away before I waited for my brother to catch up. Once he did he kicked her door roughly with his shoe a few times before moving to the side so she wouldn't see him.

India opened the door a few minutes later and I smiled politely at her. She looked me over and rolled her eyes before placing her hand on her hip.

"What the fuck do you want?!" She snapped and I dropped the smile before shoving her roughly into the apartment and she stumbled back some not expecting it.

Johan and I entered and he kicked the door closed with his foot. India scrambled to her feet and looked around the small opening for a weapon.

"Gyal, you should've saw this coming. You should always have a weapon nearby, I like it when they fight back" I whispered and her eyes widened as she tried to run off.

Johan grabbed her by her hair and yanked her down to the ground roughly as she fought and screamed for help. My brother bound her arms first as she continued to wiggle on the ground and then her legs.

"Please don't do this! Please, I was lying!" She cried out and I looked around her place before folding my arms behind my back.

"It's too late. You upset me and now you have to die" I stated and she screamed some more and spit on my brother.

Johan punched her in the face as he stood up. India continued to cry and I squatted down to her level and watched her for awhile knowing I was going to enjoy this more than I probably should. I teased her and dragged the blade across her face gently.

"You don't deserve Kaine! It's not fair! Niggas in the drug game aren't suppose to get married young, they aren't suppose to be faithful. They're suppose to mess around with other woman, he was suppose to choose me!" She screamed out.

"Give me the tape Jo" I said to Jo and he smiled and handed it to me and I placed duct tape over her mouth and her nose.

Her screamed were muffled and she began to wiggle around on the floor again not being able to breathe.

I held the blade up to show her. Slowly I took it and slit her throat making sure the cut was deep and opened big causing blood to quickly rushed out.

"Gyal, he's my husband and you were just a dumb bitch" I said quietly once her movement stopped. Her eyes remained open and her head was tilted slightly to the side.

Johan took his blade from me and wiped her blood off on the shirt she was wearing. He tucked it away in his pants before I stood up.

The police were pulling up just as we entered and I smiled and walked towards one of the cops that got out of the car.

"David, a woman in there had an accident. She might have been dumb enough to slit her own throat after duct taping her mouth" I explain to the black officer as his partner Samuel walked up.

"And she also happened to have a contaminated crime scene. She had a lot of enemies and was in an abusive relationship so one of them did it or she did it herself" He continued seeing where this was going.

I smiled and rubbed his cheek as Samuel called in a special code I was use to. David looked at my brother and I before he smiled.

"Anything for you Mrs. Turner. You're free to go, and be sure to tell Kaine my brother sends his ultimate gratitude for being looked after in prison" he said clearing his throat.

I eyed him briefly before nodding and Johan and I climbed into the car. Half of the police were crooked and covering up crimes and the other half was trying to solve those same crimes but never could.

My fadda warned me never to trust a cop which is why I had lawyers on standby ready to dispute any claim they had. There was a million alibis that I could go with that we're time stamped and business owners would verify.

But when you were helping a crooked cop stay clean you gained power over them. All of the people they put away and every bad thing they'd ever done would come back on them in prison no matter where they were or how safe they thought they were.

Johan pulled off and I placed my seat belt on before staring at my wedding ring. Smiling small I looked straight ahead at the road in
