lowered his gun. He had never killed a baby, but he would have. He let what Anoki said contemplate in his mind. He knew if he left them that they would both die; Anoki from her wounds and Willow from starvation and dehydration. He put his gun in his waistband before heading for the door.
    â€œThank you,” Anoki panted.
    Suddenly, everything went completely silent. All movement around Anoki slowed down to an excruciating pace. She could feel her pulse pounding through her body and escaping torrents through the open wounds. At that moment she didn’t feel any pain, only sorrow.
    There was something altogether serene as she bled out, losing consciousness with a smile on her face. The images swirled before her right until the end, leaving memories of Junior, Willow, and even Rock imprinted upon her mind without the oxygen to sustain it.
    â€œRock didn’t want this,” Tony said as he stopped halfway through the door. “Don’t leave this world thinking that nigga didn’t love you because he does. This was out of his control,” he said as he walked out the door.
    Tony exhaled as he walked down the stairs of the mansion. Hedidn’t think he could have pulled it off since he was so close to Anoki and Willow, but for what he was being paid, he would have killed his own mother if he had to. The half a million was all his now.
    Tony thought about Willow as he walked over to the phone in the kitchen. He had bonded with her and given her gifts almost daily. He had love in his heart for his goddaughter, but it was his life or hers and he chose to live.
    â€œHello,” a voice answered on the other end of the receiver.
    â€œIt’s done,” Tony said into the phone as he looked behind him. The gloves covering his hands seemed to get tighter with each minute that passed.
    â€œAre you sure? Are they dead?” the voice grilled.
    â€œThat’s what ‘it’s done’ means,” Tony snapped while his ears stayed alert for the sound of sirens.
    â€œGood job. I’ll let Poppa know of your good work,” Evelyn said as she hung up the phone.
    Evelyn smiled as she set the phone down, missing the receiver. She leaned over and kissed Junior on the cheek; he was still sleeping peacefully. “I’m your mommy now,” she whispered as she squeezed his little hand with her own.
    Evelyn stood up tying her hair into a ponytail. She walked over to the mini bar and poured herself a glass of champagne that was chilling on ice for this very occasion. She took a sip as a celebration for the deaths of Anoki and Willow. With them out of the way, she and Rock could finally be a family. She could finally have his last name and be his one and only woman.

    T he sky was ablaze with color as hints of fiery orange and searing reds beamed down on God’s creation. The sounds of birds and waves were alive while the smell of the fresh water lingered all around. The caress of the midday breeze felt just right as the fish played flopping in and out of the water; some even landing in the small boat filled with people that trailed the outskirts of the ocean.
    â€œWe’re almost at the big island of Punalu’u,” the captain of the boat screamed.
    â€œI thought we were going to Hata, Mommy,” Willow said as people rambled to get their stuff together, waiting to get off of the boat once it hit shore.
    â€œWe are,” Anoki said as she inhaled the air of her home, which left a familiar tingle on her nose. “Your aunt is meeting us here and then we are going to Hata.”
    â€œMy aunt?” Willow asked as she twirled her fingers in her dazzling hair.“Like Aunt Nicole back in Philly?”
    â€œNo.” Anoki smiled at Willow. “This is my sister. She is your aunt by blood.”
    â€œBy blood?”
    â€œYes, baby,” Anoki responded as she saw the enormous island approaching from afar.
    â€œShe’s your sister like
