Part 47

"She's nobody, there's nothing to worry about."

"Nobody like the woman you slept with or nobody like I'm not going to tell you because it's none of my concern?"

"More of the latter." King puts his face in his hands.

"You win, I'll leave. You're not being fair, you're being everything I hate in men, and the worst part is still love you. I'd rather love you from a distance."

"Wait, let me explain. I never slept with this one, just that female I told you about and you. I was afraid to tell you that I'm no different than those other guys, I'm no different than Abuelo. I pimp women out to make money, I don't force them though, and I’m just their protector. I-I manage their finances, give then a nice safe home to stay. Some of them have children so I'm the kids' father figure, but known of them are mine. That's the truth, that's everything. Please, don’t leave me."

“King, I’ve already left you. I will stay to help you through this because I don’t want you to get hurt. Do I see you differently because you’re a pimp, no. I see you for what you are, you were taught to do this when we were younger. The only reason we sold the drugs was because I knew how to make what we needed and it was less dangerous. We have to come up with a plan to get you out of this mess. Where’s the house located that you have your girls?” I sat down, pulling King’s arm so he will sit next to me.

“We have a few houses, the main house is in Paradise Arizona.”

“The house that you stated was for us?” I laughed at him and this mess he has created. “So you were going to take me to a house where all of your working women stay with their children?”

“Yeah, this way we could work on the girls together.”

“You’re selfish King; but that’s neither here nor there. Did you find your sister in Arizona as well?”

“How am I selfish, because I want us to build something together?”

“Build something, build something? What are you building King? Besides the national rate for STDs? Look, let’s forget about us right now and figure out how we are getting out of this jam.”

“If there’s no us, then it doesn’t matter anyway.”

“Shut up with all that mess you’re talking. You did this to yourself, you felt that you couldn’t tell me. Now my life is on the damn line because you wanted to save your sister that didn’t want saving. So we are in this together until they leave you alone, because if they leave you alone, they’ll leave me alone. Let’s get down to business.”

King was apprehensive about this entire situation, but this battle needed more than just him. He’s stressed and doesn’t think clearly when he’s this way. Messing with him, I’ll be in the same boat I was in before. That’s not going to happen, I’ll kill everyone involved, King included. I told King to make a few phone calls to the men that he stated that was there for him and see if they’re willing to help; while I went online to get us a flight into Phoenix for later tonight. While King was making the calls, I was able to hear a difference in his voice. He was stern and confident, unlike how he’s been for the last 72 hours.

“Queen!”

“Aaliyah, call me Aaliyah. What’s up?”

King didn’t bat an eye, “QUEEN! They are going to meet us at the airport to pick up us, we are going to handle everything once we land.”

“Who’s we and what are we doing?”

“There’s only one way around this, give them the ten million dollars.”

“You said you don’t have the money, so where are you getting it from?”

“The guys are going to lend me the money, I just have to pay them back.”

“If you don’t?”

“If I don’t what?”

“If you don’t pay them back Leo.”

“First, I’m your King and you’re my Queen. We are going through a bad patch right now but don’t take my title from me. Second, I’m going to pay them back and if I don’t they aren’t going to get mad as long as I come close.”

“What is it that they do to get money like that just laying around?”

“They’re pimps.”
