Travis.”
    â€œâ€˜Travis’?—What the hell did he have to do with it?” Yaya was confused.
    â€œI shoulda known he had something to do with it.”
    â€œWell, it turns out Travis had a fight party last night at his house, which means mad chickenheads were there, probably. Anyway, they were running low on beer, and he sent some chick to the store. For some reason, she thought the car was his. I guess the dumb broad ain’t read the tag, especially since it has MS on it. She tells him she’s never driven a Lexus before. He gets the keys from Jason and sends her on the beer run. The rest is history.”
    Yaya closed her eyes as she listened to Monya. Travis . . . all this because of Travis and one of his whores.
    â€œOh my God,” Taryn hummed. “What are you gonna do?”
    That was the exact same question that was running through Yaya’s head. The problem was, she didn’t know the answer.

Chapter 3
    â€œI know you tried to knock her out.”
    â€œYou know I did,” Paige told her best friend, Nina. They were sitting in the living room of Paige’s mother’s house, waiting on her to return with Myla and Nina’s niece, Jade, who Nina had custody of.
    â€œWhat in the world made her think she could give those girls a paternity test?”
    â€œMs. Lucille, girl. She always said that Myla wasn’t Marlon’s child. You know her and Kasey probably had this planned for months. Marlon getting the girls on Sunday gave them the opportunity they were waiting for. It was probably their idea for him to get them, and he was too dumb to realize they were up to something.”
    â€œWhat did Rachel say?” Nina asked, referring to Savannah’s mother.
    â€œSavannah is no longer allowed over there—simple as that.”
    Nina’s phone rang. “Hello, hey there. Yes . . . uh-huh . . . that sounds good . . . let me check on something, and I’ll let you know . . . it was nice to hear your voice too.” Nina giggled. “Bye.”
    Paige looked at the wide grin on Nina’s face. “And who was that?”
    â€œA friend.”
    â€œI’ll bet—What friend?”
    Nina smiled. “Craig. I met him at the school one day when I was picking the girls up.”
    â€œOh, I was thinking it was Titus.”
    â€œâ€˜Titus? Don’t play with me.”
    Paige couldn’t help but laugh.
    Titus was Quincy’s best friend who had a crush on Nina for months. He was a nice-looking, hard-working gentleman who owned his own auto shop. There was only one problem—at five foot three, there was no way Nina would date him.
    â€œI can’t believe you would even go there with me, Paige.”
    â€œWhat? There’s nothing wrong with Titus. You know he’s a good man.”
    â€œThat may be true, but he ain’t a tall man, and Craig is!”
    The door opened, and in rushed Myla, Jade, and Paige’s mother.
    â€œHey, Mom!” Myla ran over and put her arms around Paige.
    â€œHey there, baby girl,” Paige greeted her daughter. “How was your day?”
    â€œIt was good.”
    â€œI’m glad,” Paige told her. “Hey, Mama.”
    â€œGood evening, ladies, and how are y’all doing?” Her mother hung her keys up and put her purse on the coffee table.
    â€œWe’re good, Aunt Jackie,” Nina answered.
    â€œDarling, can we go play in the backyard?” Myla asked, using the nickname she had given her grandmother, when she was a toddler.
    â€œGo ahead, but stay in the back, you understand?”
    â€œYes ma’am.” Both girls ran out the back door.
    â€œMyla told me you had words with Ms. Lucille again yesterday at Marlon’s.” Her mother sighed.
    â€œYeah, I did. I had words with both her and Kasey.”
    â€œPaige, why do you let them get to you?” Her mother shook her head. “You have moved on with your life, and so has
