Very unprofessional of me to take such a long hiatus but you guys, I had major writer block. Seriously. Hope this chapter is good. It might get taken down later because I have doubts. Sorry guys! Please give me feedback. Yell, rant, analyze. Y'all are my editor, publisher and proof reader.

Thank you a million for having patience and not blowing up my inbox.. regularly. Major respect.

Stay happy and blessed

Amira POV

My eyes are in a haze as I wake up from sleeping. I went out cold the moment I laid on his bed. My mind fell into deep slumber as I breathed in his scent on his bed. I slept better than I have in weeks. I stretch my arms and yawn getting off his comfortable bed. I also remember the explosive fight we just had. The secrets we are keeping that are swallowing our happiness, because I know I am not the only one keeping secrets. I know him and kim aren't messing around behind my back and I can't believe I let that thought cross my mind. He is tense, more harsh than the guy I left in December. I don't know what he is keeping but I hope it doesn't break us. There is only so much I can take. I start walking downstairs following the chatter I hear. Maybe his parents are home. Is that Jenny and kim voice I hear? What are they doing here? I didn't invite them. I enter the kitchen to confirm my hearing and on the bar stool is Jenny, while Kim is getting something out the pantry with Mason.

I clear my throat. "Hi guys. You guys having a party without me."

"Hi Babe. Of course not, didn't think you were awake yet." He walk over to me and gives me a kiss on the cheeks. Kim smiles at me and so those Jenny but not a word was said.

"What's going on? Kim, Jenny why are you guys here?"

"I invited them over."

I suddenly feel like I am in an episode of intervention. "Okayyy." I draw out. "Why?" I look at both their faces and it basically unreadable but I know whatever it is definately not good.

"Maybe we can go downstairs to finish this conversation." Jenny added but Kim is still silent. It is unlike her not to join in a conversation with a quick remark.

"I am lost. What happened." I ask again.

"Yah let's head downstairs." Mason added leading me towards the stairs follow by Jenny and kim. We enter the basement and I pull away from Mason hands. I need to know what's going on now because a million things are ruining through my mind.

I turn to the girls. Somebody please tell me what's going on. Y'all are acting like someone died." I look directly at Kim. "Someone start talking now."

'Maybe you should sit down first." Jenny says lowly but not a word still from Kim. I swear my poor little heart is beating so fast it about to beat out my chest. The room temperature feels like it's gone up 10 degrees.

"While you were gone. Something happened." Kim finally speak.

"Like what?" I ask as what Mason said earlier come back to me but he said they didn't have anything and I believe him so what happened.

"Uhmm.. hmmm.. Uhmm." It's not like Kim to be short of words and I am scared.

Mason move to stand in front of me. He reach out to my hand and held them in his. He didn't look up at me just our hands. "Baby, while you were gone Brad started blackmailing me."

"What? Why?"

"He said he has a audio of us having sex."

"Excuse me?" I pull my hands away from his in shock. This can't be happening? How?

"Amira we have tried talking to him, Mason got in a fight with him but he won't listen or say what he wants in exchange. The sick fuck just want to fuck around." They continue talking but I can't hear anything as my world starts to spin.
