Summer

I looked at the baby and the letter over and over. I knew this had to be some sick and twisted joke that the devil was playing on me. As she looked up at me with her bright eyes I couldn't help but smile. She grinned and kicked her chubby legs.

"Who would bring you here and why would someone say that you are a addition to my family?" I bent down picking up the carrier to go in the house.

Once inside I walked over to the sofa and sat her there. I picked her up and held her against my chest as I cradled her head. I hummed to her and she seemed to take comfort in my arms. As I held her all I could think about was August and what was going on with him. He shut me out and that hurt me more than anything. Right now I needed him just as I knew that he needed me, but he was so stubborn.

I patted her back and stood walking over to my cordless phone. I picked it up and dialed my father's number. Maybe he could shed some light on why this baby was on my doorstep and why whoever seems to think we are related. The phone rung and rung, but there was no answer. I sighed and dialed Lauren's number and I got the same results.

"Ugh where is everyone when I need them?" I said aloud.

I finally gave up and called August and it went straight to voicemail. It seemed like nothing at this moment was going right. I was stuck with a nameless baby and a note. I had no clues about nothing whatsoever. Maybe it was some young girl that was scared and left her on my doorstep. At this point I didn't know what to think.

I looked down and she had fallen asleep. I walked back to the carrier and laid her down. I sat there and watched her and I thought about what it would be like to have a child someday. I took my index finger and lightly traced her chubby cheek causing her to slightly stir. I looked up to the ceiling and I begin to pray.

"God, right now I don't know what's going on, but the devil and his games is stirring up all kinds of trouble. Lord I don't know where this beautiful angel came from, but God I need your help and I need your guidance in all this. I have a feeling that this means something, but Lord I don't know. Bless this child and Lord keep your hands on August. He is dealing with something deep and he needs your help and your guidance. Give him peace God and strengthen him. In Jesus name I pray, Amen"

"Well I guess I better get used to having you around...."

August

I sat in the dark of my house as I held a bottle of Hennessey in my hand. I had lit a blunt and was just in deep thought about the letter that I had gotten. I always knew that what happened that night wasn't an accident and I felt that it was somebody that I knew, but I could never put it all together. I looked at the picture of my brother and I and it brought tears to my eyes because he had so much to live for, but it was all taken away too soon.

My mind instantly went to Summer and how I knew she would be the one that could and would help me through this, but right now a nigga just needed to be alone because I had a feeling Yung was coming out and he was coming soon. Everything was going so good and then in seconds it seemed like everything was going so bad. I turned back my henny pulled from my blunt.

The ringing of my doorbell brought me out of my thoughts. I wiped my face, standing as I headed towards the door. I didn't bother to look out the peephole and just swung the door opened. I looked at the woman before me and I knew that I didn't know her, but apparently she knew me.

"Hello August. May I come in?"

"Who the hell are you?"

"If you let me come in I will tell you who I am and why I'm here." She stared me down and I stared back.

"How a nigga know you ain't some crazy ass woman tryna' to set me up?"

"August if I wanted to set you up trust and believe you wouldn't still be standing here, now stop with the BS and let me in so we can talk."

I stepped to the side watching her closely. The more I looked at her she resembled Summer. That put me on alert and had many questions roaming in a nigga's head. She looked around as I closed the door.

"So what you need to discuss with me?"

"Its about Pastor Jackson Jones."

"What about his hypocritical ass?" I snarled and walked over to the sofa.

"He is my ex-husband and I'm the one that had the letter sent to you."

"The fuck?" I yelled and turned towards her.

"August Jackson and his goons are the ones that set your brother up that night that he was killed. I have all the information that you need and I know you know all about what Jackson has going on."

"You Summer's mother?"

"Yes, but she doesn't know that I have been around for quite some time. I have been watching her and I have been watching you and her together. I'm glad that you are in her life."

"So I get the feeling that you want me ta' help you bring this nigga down."

"Oh you didn't know."

"Listen I don't want to hurt Summer more than I already have and bringing all this out right now is only going to hurt more considering I knew all about him and his dirt from day one."

"Eventually its all gonna come out and she is going to need your strength. You both are going to need each other. See the tricks and the games of devil always try to rule over what God has planned, but God is winning and has already won."

I stood there and she reminded so much of my baybeh. Summer was so much like her mother and I see why that clown ass, wannabe holier than thou, jack leg pastor don't have a good woman by his side. I ran my hands across my hair and sighed. I knew that I was all in and I was ready for the devil's game to end and end soon.

"Alright. I'm game."

Callie

I wrung my hands nervously as I looked at Jackson. I knew that he was ready to kill me, but I had to do what I had to do. Jerod was blackmailing me about telling his aunt, so I had to do the first thing that I could do.

"Jackson I'm sorry." I wiped the tears from my eyes.

"Sorry? Yeah you sorry alright. Why in the hell would you take the baby to Summer's house. My daughter doesn't know that Camilla is her little sister and I never intended for her to know. Hell she doesn't even know that I was sleeping with you."

"Just like she didn't know that you were sleeping with her best friend either, but that ain't none of my business though."

Anger flashed in his eyes and I knew that he was ready to knock my ass past hell, but I was already living in fiery hell right now.

"How the hell do you know that?" He clenched his teeth as he narrowed his eyes at me.

"See Jackson I do keep tabs on you and I'm so good at what I do. You had me to help start the chaos at August club and then you acted as if you weren't gonna pay me, but sweetheart you are and you will."

"I'm not gi-"

"Uh try again. You are and you will or else your little secret about Lauren will be disclosed in a matter of minutes. Try me."

"How much you want?"

"Two-hundred grand." I smirked and crossed my legs.

"Fine you will have it in twenty-four hours."

"No that's where you are wrong because I will have it in twelve hours or else the tapes that I have will be released. Now have a nice day." I smiled and got up and walked out feeling like I was on top of the world.

Jackson 

I sat there not believing that my life was falling apart around me like this. Everything was hitting me left and right. It was like I could do nothing to stop what was happening. Everybody was out to get me and its the very ones that I helped or put on. Now they are turning against me.

I had been calling Jerod for the last few days, but he was ignoring my calls. I knew then that some bullshit was around the corner. I headed upstairs, but I didn't make far before the doorbell rang. I sighed and walked back down the stairs. I opened the door and was hit dead in the jaw.

"You ain't nothing but a spineless piece of shit!"

"W-what are y-you doing here?"

"Oh you not so bad now are you?

"Listen I-"

"Shut the fuck up because the devil's game is officially over....."

Excuse Mistakes!
