*A month later*
Mystery Person's POV

*Abandoned Warehouse*

"You fucked up. You fucked up big time. You're incapable of following simple directions!" The mystery person spoke

"But boss-"

"Shut your $5 ass up, before I make change! Now the directions that I gave you was simple and clear. "Do the task and DON'T GET SEEN! And what happened?" He asked the guy

"I was seen." The person replied softly

"I can't hear you. Speak louder." The mystery man told him.

"I was seen." He said a little louder

"You were seen. Because of the fact that you didn't do your job properly, now I have to go behind you and clean this shit up!" The mystery guy spoke angrily

"But boss, I swear I thought the coast was clear. I checked my surroundings and made sure every camera on the street was deactivated. I don't know ha-"

*POW*

"AHHHH!" The guy screamed and looked down noticing he was shot in the foot.

The mystery guy got close to his face breathing hard before speaking

"I gave you this opportunity to prove to me that you were capable of not only doing the job, but also proving your status in this city. But you failed at both. Even the new guy Ricci over I just hired as my guard proved his ability to get things done right the first time. You know Davis, I just hope your parents have an insurance policy on you, because it's about to get real bloody in here." He told him before shooting him in the head

"Clean this shit up!" He told his guards before sitting down and lightning a cigar coming up with a plan. He pulled out some pictures of Imani of when he had been stalking her

"Well Imani since I can't have you and my first plan didn't work, guess I'll have to go just a little deeper. Hit you where it hurts the most. Your precious ray of sunshine." He laughed evilly pulling out a picture of Sunshine

What he didn't know was that the "new guy" Ricci he hired was listening and watching his every move.

*Imani's House*

These last few weeks have been a bit interesting to say the least. With what happened to Arielle, we thought it'd be best if she permanently moved in with me. I didn't care and Sunshine loved every moment of it. Brandi sold her home and moved in the same neighborhood as me, not to mention Aunt Vanessa has been acting very secretive, yet she's been real protective of us lately. She even hired a few bodyguards for us. I went back to work but I only work 2-3 days of the week just so I can be at home more.

It was Saturday morning and I while Arielle and Sunshine were still sleeping I decided to clean up a bit and cook breakfast. Seeing as how I'm a meat freak there wasn't much to clean, just a few loads of laundry.

I decided to have a concert while cooking breakfast. I didn't play the music too loud but just loud enough for me to hear. I always clean before, during and after I cook. All I needed to cook were the eggs, so I went to wake up Beauty and The Beast before I did that

I kissed Sunshine all over her face receiving an aggravated groan in response.

"Good Morning Sunshine, time to get up." I spoke to her

"Mommy, 5 more minutes please?" She asked covering her face up

"But mommy cooked breakfast. But if you want 5 more minutes, then I guess I'll eat alone. I even made your favorite. Mickey Mouse pancakes." I replied getting up and heading for the door
