By Your Side [XII]

                                    two months later

Roman

            Roman was happy that all the drama was over. For the past few months everything seemed to be going good. He and Kennedy were preparing for their wedding and their baby. Diddles and Phoenix were doing extremely well. They were seeing a marriage counselor and Des told him that he cut Ryan off and hasn’t heard from him in a while. The police found the other girl, who had drugged him, and the Eagles were doing good as their winning streak continued. There was only one problem, Roman still couldn’t get in touch with Armen. He called, texted and emailed him. He even went to his house, and his scouting agency. Each time he tried to get at him his search came up short. He decided to leave him alone for a while, as long as their mom said she heard from him Roman was cool with that. He just didn’t understand how he could stab their father in the back by sneaking around with their step-mom. Their dad, Winston, was an honorable man. He was a distinguished lawyer and was well respected in Atlanta, where he raised them. Although he divorced their mom after Shakira was born. He stuck around and taught them how to be men. That’s why he couldn’t believe Armen was such a snake. Winston married Cecille when they were 12, she was like their second mother. Damn Armen needs his ass beat Roman thought to himself.

Ryan

            As Ryan sat in the all black caprice with tinted windows, he watched as Phoenix closed down the salon. It felt like forever but tonight was the night that he would put his plan in motion. For months he tailed Phoenix, noting her every move and learning her daily routines. It killed him every time he saw her with Desmond, but he used it for motivation as he prepared to murder her. Everything at the house was in place…from the grave he dug to the tools he needed. He was ready and was going to execute her Jigsaw style! As he saw her walking out of the shop, he got out of the car.

Phoenix

            Phoenix walked out of the shop after she locked everything up. She waited for a car to pass before she crossed the street. It was getting cold out so she hurried up to her car oblivious to the dark car parked behind hers. As she walked around to her trunk she felt someone grab her from behind. She went to scream, but instantly fainted!

Armen

            Armen had just hung up with his mom when he received the heart breaking news. Kennedy and Roman were not only getting married, but they were having a baby. That shit fucked him up bad. After he returned from Jamaica, he decided to go to back to his condo in Atlanta. He was sick of Philly and only moved there because his brother asked him to. He hired another agent and paid him to run his Philly office. As he sat at his desk in the Atlanta office he tried to think of a way to ruin Roman and Kennedy’s life. Everything he thought of wasn’t good enough. That is until he looked in the mirror that afternoon. As he stared at his reflection he got an idea. He ran to the computer and looked up the Eagles football schedule.
