The Kingdom

Chapter 33

Sorry it took so long. Y'all been hounding my ass about BMW updates. I only got 2 hands and 1 brain. Bare with a sister please. Working on making sure you guys have Quality over Quantity.

Speaking of Quality, I'm a shameless plug so. Y'all if you haven't go check out Acrimony over on Twisted_Truths. Shits about to get so juicyyyyyyyy......and kinky for all my closet freaks.🥵

Much Love from the Z.

Candace looked between the two having a stare off. Who the fuck was Roland Jones? Obviously the name had some significance to the both of them. Her eyes narrowing at Carol as she dropped her head in her hands. Lucious clicked his tounge leaning back in his seat. Candace glared at him wondering how she used to think he was so attractive back in the day. She was grown enough to admit she had been jealous back when Cookie first met him. Then he opened that damn mouth and showed a snakes tounge. His venom seeping into Cookie so quickly.

"I'll say you played stupid so damn well Carol. You fooled me and many dont get the pleasure to do that. I was blinded by the simple fact that Cookie was your sister. That you wouldn't do that to her but....you would to me. It makes sense now." He spoke, glancing up at the ceiling.

"You're twisted Carol."

"I'm not! I'm not a monster! I made a mistake!" Carol snapped, her leg starting to bounce with nerves. Lucious looked at her rasing a brow.

"Are you sure about that? You condemned an innocent soul to death. It wasn't a very sweet one at that." Lucious responded, Candace frowned looking at Carol.

"What was I supposed to do?! What was I supposed to DO?!"

22 years ago.....

Carol trembled on the couch as she watched Lucious rage. His fists flying through the wall. Dozens of new holes in his homes walls. Holes Cookie would throw a fit about...if she was here. Lucious yelled out kicking the coffee table. The furniture flying across the room from its power. Crashing with a boom a leg popping off. Followed by Hakeems frightened cries. The baby cradled in Andre's arms, Jamal to his side as they watched their dad flip out.

Carol wanted to scream. This wasn't how it was supposed to go down. Not Cookie....not her sister charged like this. You couldn't just shake this off with 6 months in county. This was federal prison worthy shit. Watching Lucious only put fear in her heart. If she opened her mouth what would he do to her. So she kept it zipped tight. The sound of someone knocking on the door sounded out.

"SOMEONE ANSWER THE FUCKING DOOR!" Lucious roared, stomping off to go tear up something else. His voice making the boys jump and scurry out his way. Carol got up rushing to the door to shut up whoever was banging. Roland's face coming into view.

"Hey, I heard. The whole blocks hot. Frank sent out a memo for everyone to cash in and lay low." Roland spoke, handing her a incognito baby bag she was sure had drugs and money in it.

"I'll put it up." Carol muttered, adjusting the bag in her shoulder.

Roland made her nervous. Any other say she would be flirting but not today. If anyone held her life in their hands it was him. He didn't even know he had the power to get her killed. After the stressful interrogation she got caught leaving the station by him. He was just getting bailed out by his wife for some assault charge. She had lied and said she had been booked for possession. They never brought up how no one was there for her bail or how she was acting. She was known to be cracked out. Roland's wife La'Quetta was trying to rush him out the building.
