  With the constant conversing he did with Vinny at his home, Rock ran in to Evelyn all of the time. Ignoring the warnings from Vinny, he pursued the innocent beauty and wooed her. He didn’t care about his dick being cut off and put in a jar like Vinny did so many other guys who tried his daughter; he just had to have her.

  Rock knew she was the one for him. He never meant for a meeting with Hawaii’s drug connection to make him fall in love all over again with a new woman. He blamed Vinny for making him go to Hawaii for him being in love with two women. Without that trip, his heart would have belonged to Evelyn, but when Anoki came into the picture, he had to split it into two.

  Rock was indecisive. If Evelyn would have married him like he had asked when they were younger, he would have been with her wholeheartedly. Her repetitive “no” from the fear of being disowned by her father made him find a “yes” with Anoki. He didn’t want to look anywhere else, but his hidden desire for a family caused him to.

  Rock never wanted Evelyn to find out about Anoki. She wasn’t going to as far as he was concerned, but the birth of his firstborn brought the skeleton out of its closet. He couldn’t make a child and not take care of it. That was what his father had done to him, and he always told himself he would be better than that.

  He told Evelyn about Anoki. He didn’t want her to find out any other way. To his surprise, Evelyn understood. She blamed herself for being afraid to be with him. She knew that she would have to share him from that moment on, but a small piece of him was enough to fill her appetite.

  Deep down, Evelyn didn’t want to share him. No woman wanted to share their man let alone their dick. She sucked up her pride knowing that voicing optimism would put a bullet through Rock’s head. Her father would have a bounty on him the moment she admitted she didn’t like the situation. She played the sideline to keep Rock safe.

  “Congratulations,” Evelyn moaned as the scruff from Rock’s beard rubbed against the side of her face.

  “Thank you.” Rock replied as he kissed her soft velvet skin that always tasted like honey to him. “She is beautiful just like her mother.”

  “Not for her.” Evelyn shoved him away. “Congratulations on the birth of your daughter that was just born that meant more to you since you missed ours being born.”

  “Don’t start that shit, Eve.” Rock turned to a nurse coming out of the nursery. “Can you bring me my daughter?”

  “Yes, sir,” the pale nurse replied, moving quickly back inside of the nursery.

  “I thought I could do this,” Evelyn cried out as her mascara began to run down her face. “I can’t be this sideline bitch for too much longer. Not when I had you first. I can’t keep giving you all of me and I get a microscopic piece of you.”

  “Calm down, baby.” Rock grabbed her.

  “No, fuck that!” Evelyn screamed while pulling her arm away. “It was fine when it was just me, but now we have a daughter. Am I supposed to be a single parent and raise her by myself because you’re at another house playing daddy? Am I supposed to tuck her in at night and be the only one to clean her boo-boos?”

  “You know I’m going to take care of my daughter,” Rock promised.

  “That’s not the point; it’s not about money. I have money, Rock. I need somebody that’s going to be there for her physically and emotionally. I need someone to teach her not to fall for a man like you.”

  Rock could see the hurt in her brown sugar-colored eyes. He had never seen Evelyn break down over the love triangle they had woven until now. She was at her breaking point and soon an ultimatum would be coming.

  “Here you go, sir.” The nurse returned as she handed Rock his baby girl.

  Her eyes sprang open the moment she felt her father’s touch. Rock loved her the minute he looked at her. It felt the exact same way it did when he held his other children. He knew that she would be a daddy’s girl and anything she asked for, he would get.

  Rock kissed her softly as her little fingers gripped his. He removed the cap on her head, revealing her small curly fro with the same texture and color of her mother’s. He kissed her again as he walked up and down the hall, mesmerized by his little girl’s presence. The feeling he felt made him smile unconditionally.

  “Her name is Melee.” Evelyn stood next to Rock. “She really is beautiful, isn’t she?”

  “Yes, she is,” Rock answered, never taking his eyes off of his little bundle of joy.

  “She deserves all of you. If you can’t give me all of you, at least give it to your baby girl. The love that you get from your poppa is one of a kind.” Evelyn reached for Melee. “You have to choose. Us or them,” she said as she stood up and walked away.

  Rock watched as pieces of his heart disappeared into the darkness of the hospital hallways. He knew this day would come. Choosing was something he couldn’t do. He loved both of his families. He sat deep in thought in the connected hospital seats with a heavy heart. He knew that if he couldn’t choose, then Vinny would choose for him.

  Three

  Rock’s normally calm demeanor slowly changed as his face contorted in an all-consuming anger; his nostrils flaring, his eyes flashing and closing into slits. His mouth started to quiver and drool. Slurring words that were unrecognizable came spewing into space like a volcano releasing its pent-up emotion into the darkness.

  Cold silence filled the room. The exotic fish and baby shark swam freely in the aquarium that was built into the wall. Etches of the sun peeked through the floor windows of the office, and the soft trickles of rain thudded softly against the bulletproof glass.

  Rock looked at Vinny with so much hatred in his eyes. He couldn’t believe what he had just said to him. Killing Anoki and their two children was something he wasn’t going for. He couldn’t believe Vinny had just put a hit out on his family.

  “I let you take over the mafia. There’s millions and millions of dollars to be made in this lucrative business.” Vinny opened a drawer in his desk. “I let you be the head man in charge to provide for my daughter and granddaughter. Not to take care of another bitch and her kids that doesn’t have my fucking blood.”

  Vinny pulled out a glass egg full of pure Italian cocaine; the same product that had made him filthy rich. He poured a pile onto his large desk. Grabbing a straight blade razor, he formed lines before he enjoyed the product through the depths of his nose.

  “I’m not letting my family die,” Rock said as he stood up.

  “I’ll reason with you.” Vinny snorted another line while immediately feeling the high. “I’m a family man. As a man I always wanted a firstborn son, someone to leave my business to. So with that being said, I’ll let your firstborn son live. Evelyn will act as his mother effective immediately.”

  “There’s no reasoning behind my fucking family,” Rock said as he punched the desk.

  “You don’t have a fucking choice. This is my last request as the leader of this organization. Once Anoki and her daughter is worm food, I’ll give you full control. Until then, follow what the fuck I say.”

  “What if I say no?”

  “You don’t want to do that.” Vinny smiled as an AK-47 pressed the back of Rock’s head. “I’m warming up to you, but I’ll have your brains cooked into my next meal in a heartbeat. If you say no, then they will die anyway. The only thing that will change will be you, Tony, and whoever else you care about will join them.”

  “Evelyn would hate you. You wouldn’t have anyone to take over.” Rock spat as the pressure from the gun on his head increased. He knew Vinny desired to retire from the mafia and him fully taking over was a part of that reason.

  “Rock, let me explain something to you.” Vinny stood up and walked around the desk. He placed his mouth directly in Rock’s ear and whispered, “You’re replaceable.” He kissed Rock on the cheek and waved him off to leave.

  “So that’s it?” Rock asked as his frustration grew.

  Vinny sat back at his desk with deaf ears. When he was done talking about it, he was done. There was nothing that Rock could say that could have changed his mind. The hit was called and Vinny would die before he called it off.

  “This shit isn’t over.” Rock stood up, the machine gun still pressed at the back of his head.

  “If you’re going to pull a gun out on me,” Rock said as the bodyguard lowered his gun, “you better use it.”

  A loud crack boomed throughout the room as a bullet ejected from Rock’s gun into the bodyguard’s head. Blood splattered all over Rock’s Armani shirt and slacks as he watched the lifeless body fall and lie in the pool of its own blood. He stepped over the corpse and left without a thought; with no remnants of him but his cologne.

  Vinny sat with his back turned to the door of his upscale office as a smile emerged on his lips. No matter how much he hated Rock, he had never met anyone so ruthless and he liked it. He knew that Rock was a killer and was the perfect person to take over his business.

  One day, no matter if it was a day or a month or even years, the killer that he had trained would kill him for Anoki’s and Willow’s murders. And when that day came, he would accept it like a man.

  • • •

  Rock ran into the doors of his two-story home with his lungs working in overdrive. The only thing on his mind was seeing his family even if it would be for the last time. As he ran up the spiral staircase, he prayed he wasn’t too late.

  Vinny had him busy that whole day and he was hoping that it wasn’t to execute his plan and slay his family. He couldn’t walk into the room and see them in a pool of blood. He had to see them breathing, once more.

  “Anoki?” he called out as he made it to the second level of the home. “Anoki?”

  “Rock, why are you screaming?” Anoki appeared out of the master bedroom with their baby girl in her ar
ms.

  Anoki walked closer to Rock as her heels clicked with each step that she took. Her form-fitting Chanel dress complemented her hair, which was a rich shade of black. It flowed effortlessly to accent her glowing bronze skin. Her soft eyes, shining like a million stars in the sky, seemed to lighten the hallway.

  Rock snapped photographs in his mind of his island beauty wife and daughter. He knew in the core of his soul that it was the last time he would see them alive and breathing. It pained him that he couldn’t do anything but accept it.

  As he looked at them more, Rock thought about killing the whole mafia, but he was only one man. The thought of fleeing crossed his mind, but Vinny ran Philly for the time being and he wouldn’t make it outside of the city limits. He knew that saving one of them was his only option, and it ate at his psyche. It was going to be him and Junior versus the world.

  Rock grabbed Willow into his arms as guilt struck his body. He didn’t want to fathom the thought of life without his baby girl. The last two months with her didn’t seem long enough. She hadn’t even begun to live and Rock wished he could trade places with her.

  “Are you okay?” Anoki saw something in Rock’s eyes that she’d never seen before.

  “I’m good,” he lied as he softly kissed her lips as if it would be the last time.

  Anoki didn’t know how to handle Rock’s answer. She knew he was lying. She had never seen her husband so shaken by anything in the years they had been together. There was a reason behind the light slowly leaving his eyes. She didn’t question it. Whenever he was ready to talk about it, then she would know. Until then, she would take his word for it.

  “Let’s go to the bedroom,” Rock whispered as they made their way to their suite.

  Rock looked into his daughter’s eyes as he walked over to the crib on the other side of the room and placed her in it. He knew as he watched Willow’s little chest go up and down through her onesie that her lungs would soon stop working. Vinny would leave no remnants of his loved ones so he cherished the moment.

  “Come to bed,” Anoki called out as she hung seductively off of the bed with only her heels on.

  Rock looked back at his wife as she slowly patted her freshly shaved womanhood inviting him in. Rock bit his bottom lip as all nine inches tucked away in his pants showed as if it would burst through the zipper. He walked over to Anoki while he removed his clothes.

  Anoki licked his six-pack as the Armani button-down covering Rock’s upper half fell onto the floor. She softly kissed through his slacks as her hands removed his belt. She looked at Rock with lustful eyes as she unbuttoned his pants and watched them fall to his feet.

  Rock’s dick pulsated, thumping wildly as Anoki lowered his boxers and took every inch of him into her mouth. Rock loved how her mouth felt like wet pussy. He slowly fucked her throat as Anoki got more into it. He looked down at her and her eyes looked back up with him begging for pleasure.

  Rock raised her up as his hands passionately opened and closed her slit while he kissed on her soft brown nipples like a newborn baby. He softly bit them, making Anoki moan as her pussy gushed with wetness. Anoki was in heaven as her pussy creamed all over Rock’s fingers.

  Rock eased down her body until he reached her cherry box. He danced around her pearl with his tongue like a professional. In and out, he fucked her as her pussy gripped his tongue as cream escaped her slit, falling into his mouth. Rock slurped it all up as Anoki’s orgasms continued nonstop.

  “Daddy!” Anoki’s legs shook uncontrollably.

  Rock grinned as he continued eating away. Pre-cum oozed out of his manhood as the moans rushing from Anoki’s lips enticed him the louder they became. Rock couldn’t wait any longer; he raised Anoki’s body as if it was paper and laid her onto the bed.

  Rock entered every inch of himself inside of Anoki, making her toes curl. He could feel the head of his dick hit the bottom of her opening as her walls tightened more with each stroke. Their bodies moved in unison as their strokes matched and changed every other minute.

  Rock’s mind was blown at how good Anoki’s pussy was. They had made love so much and each time it had gotten better. Of all of the women he had ever fucked in his lifetime, he was sure Anoki was the best he’d ever had. Evelyn’s pussy was nowhere near as good as Anoki’s, even after bearing two children.

  Rock turned Anoki over as he held her hips steady with his hands while he continued to dig into her. Cream aligned his dick as he watched it go in and out of her pussy. He sped up his stroke as he felt his nut coming.

  “I’m about to nut, baby,” Rock roared out as his seeds released into Anoki. Their bodies collapsed and fell into one another, landing on the silk sheets covering the bed beneath them.

  “That was so good, Rock,” Anoki moaned as she struggled to catch her breath. “Come take a shower with me, daddy,” she said playfully as she stood up as naked as the day she was born and ran to the bathroom.

  “I’ll be right there,” Rock called behind her as he stood up. He peeked out of the window as headlights flashed on and off in the round driveway in front of their home.

  Rock watched as an army of men rushed out of two black vans with guns in their hands. They were there to kill his wife and daughter. Vinny had taken precautions and sent more men than what he normally would have in fear of Rock retaliating.

  “Fuck.” He punched the air.

  Rock rushed to put his clothes on. He had to get Junior out of there fast. He had to get away before his anger caused everyone he loved their lives. He had to get away before a hint of Anoki’s scent hit his nose to remind him of what he would never smell again.

  He walked over to the crib and looked into Willow’s eyes. He wanted to pick her up and take her with him. She had a piece of his heart that she would never know existed. He glared at her as his emotions got the best of him.

  “Baby, hurry up. Don’t let the water get cold,” Anoki called out, stopping him in his tracks as he headed to the door.

  “Hold on,” Rock called. His eyes began to water. “Wait for me.”

  Rock stood there as his conscience fucked with him. A man was supposed to protect his family. A man was supposed to make sure everything was okay. He had never felt less than a man than at that moment. He didn’t think he could feel so low. He had every mind to go blast every man he saw in his driveway, but he couldn’t end both of his kids’ lives.

  Rock dashed for the door and walked to Junior’s room. With one motion, he picked Junior up in his arms as slobber ran down his little mouth. He walked down the rural staircase and headed toward the door.

  “Hide,” Rock told Nicole, his favorite overnight maid, as he opened the front door.

  “Mr. Evans, what’s going on?” Nicole asked as she watched sorrow release itself as tears down Rock’s face.

  “Nicole,” Rock said before the front door closed, “run and hide now!”

  Rock eased out of the door knowing if Nicole didn’t hide, she would die. He already had the blood of his family on his hands, and any more would have broken him even more. Nicole had a little girl to go home to.

  “What’s up, Boss?” one of Vinny’s workers said as he smiled at Rock as he approached the men dressed in black.

  Rock released the gun from his waist while still holding Junior in the other as he pressed it against the forehead of the worker. “This is what’s up,” he said as he released two rounds into his skull.

  “None of y’all bitch-ass niggas say shit to me,” Rock spat with anger. “Whoever kills my wife and my little girl, I’m killing them, so remember that.”

  Rock pushed past the group of men with a football player’s force. He dared any of them to say something to him; anything at all and he would have put something hot in whomever. He was itching to kill all of them, and if the consequences weren’t too high, he would have.

  Rock opened the door to his Mercedes. He laid Junior in the passenger seat while his little body continued to snore. He couldn’t help but to feel like he had failed him. He knew he wouldn’t be able to replace his mother, and the pain killed him on the inside.

  Rock started his whip as he watched the men enter his home. In a matter of minutes, the love of his life and the mother of his kids would be dead. His little girl would die also.
