C2 I don't play games with her

Geez, that hurts so badly, she has one type of Kung Fu leg or something.

I went to the living room. It looks like I have a fracture in between my balls. It hurts badly.

I met Ma on the way and she looked at me.

"Jeremy, what's the problem? Why are you walking like that"

"She kicked me right here" I said pointing to it.

"Really? She actually took over your papi. Violence is in both of their bloods"

The pain is excruciating

I heard a silent thud from the sofa and saw papi groaning on the floor.

"Seriously Ma, he slept on the couch all night?"

"Yeah, he snores a lot, you know?"

"What happened?" He asked with his hand on his forehead.

"You fell off the sofa papi"

"But why didn't I sleep in the room,?' he asked standing up slowly.

"Papinaaa, you were drunk" I heard Keira's voice.

"Drunk? Junno, why didn't you take me to the room?"

"You love snoring and your snores sounds like a lion and I need to have peace of mind In this house"

He scratched his head in confusion. I went to him and stood him up completely. Geez. It still hurts in there.

"Hey jemy. Why are you walking like that?" He asked and I looked at Keira. She giggled and I frowned.

"Nothing."

"Lier" he mouthed and I succeeded in taking him to his room.

"Hey, hey, come here. Get me that?" He said pointing to the table.

"Alcohol again?"

"Shut up jemy, just don't tell your mom," he said and I chuckled.

"No I am not bringing it to you. Take it yourself." I said and stormed out of the room.

"Jemy!! Jeremy!!!" He called my name twice and I ignored him. He is so annoying.

*****

I went outside the compound wall with my bag with me. I walked away from the smoking smugglers in a shop beside the compound

There were actually betting on something.

"I need some cash." I mumured and I went to them.

"Sam, your opponent!" I said loudly and Sam threw the dice on the floor. Was he scared or something??

I scoffed and sat down. Everybody cheered and he also scoffed.

"Jeremy, you up against me?" He asked and I smirked.

"Umm...what do you think I am doing here?" I asked and he chuckled.

"What do you want to bet on?"

"That!!" I pointed to the money he was holding.

"Okay, yours?" He said and I dropped the whole money in my bag.

"Let's be fare, friend" I said and he smirked.

He rolled the dice twice and slammed it on the table.

"Yeah, let's be fare." He said and they all cheered.

"We ain't doing the dice, that is the game."

He pointed to the wheel.

The neighborhood calls it the circus wheel.

The game goes like this, there must be someone tied around the wheel. The gamer must pick up a knife and aim it on the wheel. It must'nt touch the person tied on it and the opposer must do the same.

If it is a tie, the dice must be tossed and who ever gets the six, owns the money. And if any opposer hits hits the person tied around the wheel, the other will be owner of the money.

It maybe hard but...

Good news,.I love this game so much.

"So, who do you want?"

"Your sister!!" He said and I looked at him.

Everyone laughed and I clenched my fist.

Wondering why? I don't play games with my sister. I hate it when people also does.

"Give up? I am taking the whole money...."

"Okay!" I heard Keira's voice and saw her coming forward and she fold her arms giving a straight scoff.

"Soo...the bet is on" she said and I widened my eyes.

Is she crazy or something?

"Are you mad?" I whispered to her ear and she smiled.

"I am always mad." She replied and went to Sam

"Let's get the game started."

She went to the wheel and they tied her there. But I can't aim it to my sister. I sighed and Sam looked at me with a smirk.

I also smirked at him and grabbed the pen knife. I can't believe this is happening.

He also picked the pen knife and he was the first to aim

He threw it and it almost hit Keira. I tightened my fist ready to punch him hardly on the face.

He threw another, and it did the same thing.

"Your turn handsome" he said with a chuckle and I picked up the pen knife.

I took the right shoot three times.

"Impressive," he said taking the third...

He threw it and it almost hit her forehead. I wanted to move but she smiled. I stand back and he picked up the dice.

"Let's furrow the sixth, shall we?" He said and I smirked widely.

He tossed the dice and I saw his hands slipping around it. He is cheating.

I snapped his hand and the dice fell on the floor reveling a four.

"Top notch, you are aggressive"

"So are you."

One of the men freed Keira and she came running to us.

"Hey cat eyes" Sam teased and she scoffed.

"Dare to cheat? I am watching"

He tossed it and unfortunately for him, it was four.

"Good" I muttered and he looked at me.

"It's a good thing you loosed. I need that money you know?" I said and he looked at me with sweats on his forehead.

I wiped it off with a rag and then wanted to touch his cheek, that would be for another day.

I rolled the dice on my bare hand an then tossed it and SWIP!!! Six!!

"Thanks a lot Sam." I said and took both mine and his money.

"Bye bye."

I left the shop with Keira.

"That was so good of you Jeremy."

"I am Jeremy the great." I boasted and she chuckled.

"Okay. What is the usage of this much money"

"Ma foodstuffs at the market."

"Oh!"

"I want to surprise her."

"Hey, I was the one tied to the wheel, I should be the one giving it to her."

"You came yourself, I never asked you to participate."

"Buh, I did and helped."

She tried collecting the money from me and I hit the bag on her head.

"Jeremy!!"

"Stop shouting Keira."

"I ain't shouting. I just need some change." She said and I walked away.

"Jeremy?" She called and I ignored her.

.

.

.

We both arrived at Mom's shop and I placed her her hand on my head.

"You are here and why is Keira frowning?"

"Mom, I don't want to talk about it," "talk about what?" Mom asked and I laughed.

Ericka's POV:

I went to her room and saw her trying to stand up from her bed to her wheelchair.

"Whoa whoa whoa, Shirlene, what are you trying to do?"

I faked a concern.

She yanked my hand off her arm and wanted to stand up her feet.

I dragged her hair and made her stumble hard on the bed.

"Why are you so stubborn Shirlene? I told you to sit down and not bother yourself too much. Why are you just so stubborn?"

"Let go of me Ericka,"

"Well, I can't. I am afraid that's impossible to let go of a barren,"

I smiled and she looked at me with her despicable eyes.

I sat beside her and picked up her medications.

"Common, open up."

I tried to feed her the medicines and she just locked her mouth.

"I said open up!!!!"

I opened her mouth and poured the whole content. She was forced to swallow it all.

"Good. Now you can take a rest and go to hell, maybe you can leave my husband and I alone for ourselves"

I shout at her and stormed out.

Emelia POV:

"Enjoy all you want babe, the money is all yours."

The guys took the bag of cash and sprayed it out, while I just sat on the chair enjoying my alcohol.

"Emelia, can I get 18 thousand dollars?"

"Take this" I gave him my purse. "Take the money you want, they are all yours to wallow." I said and he took my purse in amazement.

"Thanks." He said and I drank from the alcohol.

I stood up and went amongst the boys and started dancing. This is life, life of the rich.

"Ma'am, it's time to leave." My driver said interrupting my fun moments.

"Wait, what do you mean by that?"

"Mr Hendrickson ordered your...."

"Why is father such a party pooper?" I groaned and pick up my purse.

"Guys, I will see you later. I need to go."

"Okay Emelia,"

"And babe.." Danny came towards me. "The same hotel, tomorrow " he asked.

"Okay." I said and he kissed me.

"Bye." I said and went away with the driver.

I hopped into the back seat and I heard the engines igniting.

Then a message popped up on my phone.

*Your credit card had been suspended....*

"Suspended?!!!!!" I shouted and checked again.

"Your credit card had been suspended, you...."

"What the fvck!!!!"

.

.

.

"Dad!!!!" I shouted at the top of my voice.

"Dad!!!"

I shouted again and heard footsteps from the stairs.

"Oh baby, you are back"

"Dad, why did you suspend my credit card?!!"

"Oh, I did it for some purpose."

"What purpose dad? You are destroying my life."

"I ain't destroying your life Emelia, I am fixing it. You have spent more than enough, do you want us to go bankrupt?". "It's high time for you to learn how to take care of your expenses yourself and plan a budget for yourself." He said and I groaned angrily.

"Dad?!!!"

"Wait, your credit card had been suspended?" I heard Mom's voice and I ran to her with tears in my eyes.

"Yes Mom, Dad suspended it."

"Honey"

"I think you are the one destroying the life of your daughter Ericka," he said and walked upstairs angrily.

"Mom?"

"I will talk to him baby, Don't worry."

She went upstairs with Daddy and I shouted angrily. This people are annoying.
