Saturday
9:34am|

The guys are comfortable and settled with the accommodations I made available to their disposal.

They have been to the job site all week and the construction process officially starts next week. Everything is going just as planned, I am proud of how far I've came and how much I have accomplished at such a young age.

By time I'm 30 I would accomplished everything I had set out to achieve. The last piece to complete the puzzle is gaining a wife and child to savor my glory with.

I am on my way to my sister's clinic to surprise her. She knows I'm building a hotel here but she doesn't know when I will be arriving on island.

I stopped by her favorite café and got her a latte, anéyah loves these too it must be a woman's thing.

Dian works at the hospital on some days especially when they are short staffed.

I pull up in the parking lot and parked my G Wagon. I exit the jeep and head inside, two other doctors work here so I hope Dian can clear her schedule for at least 30 minutes.

"Good morning sir, how may I help you" the secretary asks.

"I'm here to see Dr. Millar" I reply.

"Do you have an appointment?" She queries.

"No I do not" I tell her.

"Then I'm sorry we are fully booked for today, we cannot accept any walk ins" she states.

"That's fine, when she's finished with her patient let her know she has a guest" I say and sit in the waiting area.

She goes on the phone and looks over at me briefly. Even after she hang up the phone she steals a glance at me every now and again.

10 minutes later, my sister walks over to the secretary and she points at me. I watch as her eyes lit up with excitement and she speed walks over to me. I lift her into my arms then rest her down giving her the latte.

"I see someone is gaining weight" I say stating my observation.

"You noticed? these damn injections are starting to depress me" Dian sulks.

"Come let's go in my office" she takes my hand and leads me to the room but stops at the secretary desk first. "Hold my appointments for 30 minutes or give them to Dr. Mendez" she instructs and the secretary nods.

We enter her office and then she locks the door. I don't like this, seems like something is  wrong.

"You know I am having troubles with conceiving and I am on HCG injections, for some reason it's making me fat" she pouts and I chuckle.

"It's not that bad, you're finally shaping out in the right places" I say in compliment.

"Yeah" she laughs.

"How is Anéyah?" She asks.

"She's doing good" I state.

"Any baby plans yet?" She inquires.

"No she's on birth control, no babies anytime soon" I say running both hands down my face in frustration.

"Which kind?" She asks. If she didn't ask me a million and one questions Dianique wouldn't be her name.

"IUD" I reply.

"They have a 98% protection rate against pregnancy but don't be downhearted she might change her mind" she says to lighten my mood but I'm not the one this is affecting I promised her a niece or nephew by next year.

"She won't but that's a long story by itself" I sigh and look over at my sister.

"Why, She doesn't want kids?" She questions with her eyes getting teary.

"Stop that dian you will have a baby of your own some day" I reassure her and she gives me a lopsided smile.

"Anéyah has a 8yrs old son" I add and her face lights up.

"Really? Will I meet him when I get the chance to meet her?" She asks giving me her puppy dog eyes.

I chuckle "of course, you will meet him as well" I clarify.

"Great" she states.

"I will be here for another week, it was supposed to be two more weeks but I have a honorary ceremony to attend from one of the orphanages I sponsor" I say.

"Wow that's awesome, I'm so proud of you bro" Dian says and it warms my heart, I always had a soft spot for my sister even though I don't show it much.

"Thanks Big sis" I tell her and stand to my feet.

"We'll meet up again before I leave and hail Joshua for me" I say and she walks over to me and tip on her toes to give me a hug. Dian is very short 4'9" to be exact.

"Okay and I will, stay safe please" she says in an concerned way and I look at her confused.

"Dian I have been behaving myself, I can promise you that" I assure her.

She smiles "that's good to hear".

I reach to Mobay in under 2 hours, I got a call from the contractor that the container with the equipments we need to start this project has arrived. I walk over to the construction site and kayce the contractor in charge of the project approaches me.

"Mr. Millar, I checked the shipment and aligned everything with the manifest but the forklift is missing" he says with concern in his voice.

I have given Kayce the authority to sign off on shipments that will be flowing in with supplies throughout the months since I won't be on island to do so.

"What do you mean it's missing? Was my shipment opened prior to this location?" I firmly ask.

"Not that I know of Mr. Millar" kayce says to me.

I personally oversee the workmen when they packed the container in Miami. Everything on the manifest was accounted for including the forklift.

"Is the customs officer still here?" I query.

"No he left just before you arrived" he states and I groan.

"Okay I will look into it" I tell him and walk back to my jeep.

"Siri dial MJ" I say to my phone.

[Calling MJ Tech mobile]

Phone call

MJ: Yea Bro

Me: check the customs camera systems, let me know if anyone tampered with my shipment I'm missing a forklift.

MJ: Aite, ring you in a few.

He hangs up and I call Fiftie .

Phone call

Me: who do you know works at the Customs Agency?

Fiftie: Loud mouth Kiki, she is a supervisor there.

Me: Same one yuh binna fuck?

Fiftie: Same one .

Me: Call her and find out what the fuck happened to my shipment.

Fiftie: Wah yuh mean happened, wah wrong wid it?

Me: Someone stole a forklift from my container and it was done at the port.

Fiftie: okay, mi wul call her bout it.

Me: alright bro.

I hang up and make my way home. I am hungry and frustrated, all I need to hear right now is my girls' voice.

It takes 30 minutes for me to reach home, I built my house far away from the ghetto, I do have a home in St. Ann and halfway tree. My father was born and raised in St. Ann that's why I got a house there to stay in tune with my roots.

My house maid helps to sustains this place while I'm in Miami. She makes sure it is clean and opened up now and again to allow fresh air to flow within.

"Good afternoon Mr. Millar, lunch is ready and served in the living room dining area" Aunty Sandra says to me.

"How many times will I tell you to call me Dionnis? You have been working for me since I bought this house 6 years ago, I would think we are well acquainted by now" I state.

"Yes Mr. Dionnis" she bows then leave and I chuckle while I shake my head.

I don't think she can help it.

Aunty Sandra knows all of my favorite things to eat and drink, she goes out and get the groceries with the help of one my guards to take her to and from the supermarket and roadside vendors.

I don't trust easily but Sandra has redeemed herself worthy of such. All of my employees especially home workers have signed an confidentiality agreement, I like my privacy and with the kind of wealth and popularity my family and I possess, it's best I keep out of the public's eye and away from tabloids.

I do not like pictures nor do I like my photos posted all over social media specifically on gossip blogs.

2:30pm|

Lemar left for London yesterday evening to spend his summer vacation with his father.

It's not even 24 hours and I miss my baby.

He called to let me know that he has landed safely and I shouldn't stay up and worry. He knows me oh to well, I wouldn't sleep unless I know he's okay.

I'm in the living room reading a book to keep me occupied. Antwaun sent me a message during the week to invite me out on Sunday to the car show Hot Skull is hosting. He promotes all of the racing events we attend, he's like a mentor to me.

My phone starts to ring and I pick it up from beside me on the sofa.

Phone Call

Me: Hello?

Dionnis: Couldn't answer a likkle livelier than that?

Me: Yes baby?

Me: Is that better?

Dionnis: Yes

Me: what's wrong? I can hear it in your voice.

Dionnis: A little shipment issue but nothing for you to worry your pretty little head with.

Me: Okay, I hope so.

Dionnis: what yuh up to?

Me: None of your business [chuckles]

Dionnis: Sure bou that? Wah dat yuh reading?

Me: How do you know I'm reading?

Dionnis: Really Anéyah? Cameras are all over the house except for the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen.

Me: oh, I didn't realize.

Dionnis: Yuh won't be able to they're small, made to be disguised.

Me: Ohhh, that's smart .

I put the phone on speaker phone and rest back on the sofa and raise my middle finger up high for Dionnis to see.

Dionnis: [Laughs out loud] Careful Anéyah.

Me: What, you're going to punish me for being a bad girl?

Dionnis: I just might when I get back.

Dionnis: What are you reading?

Me: A book entitled What If.

Dionnis: okay, summarized what you have read so far I would like to know.

Me: Okay

Me: The story is about an 8 years old little girl she is angelically beautiful like they described, her mother was abused constantly by her drunken father that would come home from work and beat on her. One day she took her daughter and went to the train station, no luggage just the clothes on their backs.

Her mother stood impatiently while they waited for the train to arrive, the girl kept asking mom where are we going and is dad coming. Her mother replied some place where we can be free. The train came running towards their stop and her mom leaped onto the train tracks pulling the little girl with her.

The mother was struck by the incoming train but the little girl survived without any scratch just covered in the blood of her mother. She was then taken home to her father that didn't care for her but moaned the loss of her mother his wife. She would go across the road to her bestfriend's house to eat and play after school, her friend had a big brother by the name of Tom, just a little older than they were, he liked her.

Their father didn't liked harboring his boss's daughter at their home for too long but the mother felt sorry for her. Long story short her father burned the house down with himself in it. He saved his daughter's life though and now she's in a orphanage at the age of 16. Tom and her bestfriend would come and visit her every chance they get.

Dionnis: Sounds like an interesting book.

Me: It is. I miss you and Lemar so much, I'm in this God awfully big house alone. I literally had to tell Aaliyah and Catalya come over to keep my company whenever they're free.

Dionnis: Pick up a hobby or start a business, I can fund it just let me know what you decided on.

Me: No it's okay I can do it on my own.

Dionnis: My demands are final.

Me: why are you like this?

Dionnis: like what, Supportive?

Me: You know that's not what I meant Dionnis.

Dionnis: You make a fuss over little things just enjoy the perks of having a billionaire boyfriend.

Me: that's the thing I don't want to be called a gold digger.

Dionnis: But you're not and you shouldn't care about what others say we both know your intentions for me.

Me: [sigh] okay.

Dionnis: Be a nice girl, I'm going to sleep.

I lift the phone from the sofa to check the time then put it back.

Me: It's just 5:48 pm.

Dionnis: I know it's early but I'm tired and still a little frustrated.

Me: okay babe, sweet dreams.

Dionnis: thanks, I love you

Me: I love you too bye.

I hang up and go to the kitchen to get a snack and head upstairs.

"I don't want to remain friends with you Briana!" I exclaim.

For a month now I have been asking Briana to be my girlfriend but she has this scenario that my mother wouldn't be pleased to see us dating.

Briana has been my sister's bestfriend for years and if she doesn't know by now what kind of mother I have she won't know again.

Jennifer is very kind and understanding, unless you disrespect her, she will show you the same energy you pour into her.

My mother loves Briana, at this point I don't think Jennifer is the real issue. She's afraid her mother and father might not approve of me.

"Look at our age gap, your mother will start looking at me funny. What if she thinks we were having sex since I was in high school?" she asks panicky.

"If my mother had an issue, Aaliyah wouldn't be able to date Fiftie and he is 6 years older than I am" I assure her.

Briana sighs and sit on my bed. "Does your mom know you have a boyfriend Briana?" I query.

"Yes she does but I haven't told her who it is" she confess.

I scoff  "are you ashamed of me?" I ask her.

"W-What? W-Why would you say something like that?" Briana stutters.

"I can't introduce you to my mother as my girlfriend and it's obvious you don't want to do the same with yours, so tell me how I arrived at that conclusion?" I jeer at her.

Briana starts to sob and now I feel like the villain here. I sigh and pull her to sit on my lap.

"Have you ever seen me with a girlfriend before?" I inquire and she shakes her head saying no.

"Did I ever brought a girl around my mother and sisters?" I ask.

"No" she answers softly.

"Exactly Briana, I was never the dating type but look at me here now begging for a relationship with you" I wrap my arms around her waist and squeeze her tight and she giggles.

"Okay" she says shyly.

"What's that okay for?" I playfully ask.

"Okay I will be your girlfriend, Antwaun" Briana says and I grin widely.

She turns in my arms and kiss me passionately.

I stop and watch her attentively. "I think we should introduce each other to our parents during the week" I state.

She looks at me weirdly "Why, what's the rush?" She questions.

"Do you want us to announce your pregnancy during the introductory or give ourselves some time to declare that part?" I ask and she laughs.

"I'm not pregnant Antwaun" she says with much confidence.

"Okay, when was your last period?" I inquire and her eyes opened wide as she recollect the memory of her last menstruation date.

Briana flies up from my lap and grab her phone from the nightstand.

"No no no no no, it can't be" she says in disbelief as tears start to flow down her cheeks.

I exhale then push my body up from the bed but before I can reach to Briana she starts to weep loudly.

"My father will kill me Antwaun" she cries and I pull her into my arms.

"And you think I would allow that to happen, especially when you're carrying my child?" I narrow my eyes at her when she looks up after I said that.

"I told you to use condoms but you didn't" she yells at me and hit her fists into my chest.

"So me suppose to use rubbers inna my own pussy? Somebody else a go dey?" I ask furiously.

"No" she sulks and I sigh.

"I was being careful, you was the one that wrapped your feet around my waist during missionary two weeks ago, I was hoping you didn't get catch but it looks like you did" I scold and she takes a step back from me and bow her head.

"I'm guessing the morning after didn't work?" She queries.

"I guess not" I reply, and she nods.
