Chapter 47

Diamond

            As days stared to fly by I started to become better with myself and I decided to move on from what had happened to me. I was back to my old self again. I was talking to people, I was back to fucking Ludah and letting him love me down, and I was back to being happy. One day we were all in Royale's pent house trying to see where we were going with this war we had with Faustin. I wasn't trying to get kidnapped and raped again by those russian motha fuckas so I wanted Royale to think of something fast, but he couldn't. He had been starring out of the glass that he had for a wall over looking the city of LA. He hadn't been saying much, but no matter how silent it got, we all starred at him wondering what he would do next. It was around nine o' clock at night. The black sky was dark over the tall buildings that cascaded into the night sky. The tiny square windows on the buildings lit up the night sparkling in the abyss. I had on a white Chanel sweater, a matching short wool skirt, and white knee high heeled boots from Jimmy Choo with a pointed toe. I looked out the window at LA's downtown then back to Royale anticipating his every move. "I've been a lonely man for a while". He finally said leaving me confused. He had his friends, he had his soldiers, and he had me. "Before I met you Diamond, I had been married to a wonderful woman, but she was killed because of the game I was in and I don't want that to happen to you". For as long as I've known Royale, I had never known that. He had his hand in his pocket the whole entire time as he spoke. He turned away from the glass wall and starred at me. All of his soldiers were starring at him and so was I. Royale neared me then grabbed my hand. I could tell where this was going. "I got us a place out in the Jamaican Islands. I want to be with you". He said. I didn't want to go to no damn Jamaica to live. I loved my city. The US is where I reside. Royale dropped to one knee and pulled a small, black box out of his pocket. He opened it up and showed me a big rock for a diamond. It gleamed with every light that hit it and it sparkled in my eyes. My mouth dropped. I loved the ring, but I didn't want to marry Royale. I just didn't know what to say. "Will you marry me? I love you Diamond". Royale said trying to flatter me. I looked back at his niggas who wanted to see what I would say because all of them knew about me and Ludah. I looked back at Ludah who was starring heavily in anger. He shook his head with fury.

"Royale......I". I studdered.

"Yeah, you what"? He asked.

"I.....I".

"She doesn't"! Ludah yelled. Royale snapped his head over to him.

"What! What are you doing"!? Royale asked standing up pissed. "You have no right to speak! I oughta slit your fucking throat"!

"She's my girl..........you hear me, my woman"! Ludah yelled. "Who's bed does she come to at night when she sneaks out of yours huh!? Who's dick does she suck out by the pool in the back of your house when you ain't there"!? I was scared, better yet terrified that Royale would kill me. I looked at Royale who looked at me in disbelief.

"Is this true"? He asked with rage. I didn't say anything because I wasn't about to snitch on myself. Royale's face turned from angry to angrier. "YOU BITCH"! He shouted as he slapped me clear across my face. He grabbed my throat and lifted me off the ground. He started to shake me and shake me and it felt like my eyes were about to pop out of my head. "The three years that we've spent together didn't mean shit to you"!? Royale continued to yell at me. He threw me on the ground and proceeded to stomp on me, but Ludah jumped on him and hit him with the butt of his gun. The soldiers didn't know whether or not to shoot Ludah or Royale because Ludah was good peoples and Royale was their master. After a minute of fighting Royale soon got Ludah on the ground and stood up. He put his big foot on Ludah's chest just to hold him down, whipped out a chrome, and before I knew it my eyes were closed and I held my ears tightly just to hear the sound of Royale's gun go off. When I opened my eyes, Ludah was laying there on the ground dead. I couldn't help but choke on the tears that were building up inside of me. Ludah was the person that held me down when I moved to LA, and he was the one who introduced me to everyone I knew. I hated the thought of him being dead and yet he was laying a few feet away from me with a bullet in his head.
