Free Hated by Many, Loved by None 3 by Shan Page A

to raise my head and look, but was afraid that he would punch me with that big ass fist of his again.
    Ray was Chino’s henchman and had worked by his side since they were just teenagers. He’d always been a big boy and it followed him all the way to his adult life, putting him at 6’5, 295 pounds. He wasn’t fat though; just big and solid muscles. He hardly ever had to use a pistol. His looks were enough to intimidate the baddest nigga around. Ray was one of the few that Chino kept around after his best friend snitched on him to the FEDS. I didn’t trust Ray, but if Chino was gonna take the risk and trust him then that would be his problem.
    “ Nah, I ran into a little problem, but you will see when you get out here,” Ray said into the cell phone.
    What the hell he mean little problem? I hope he is not talking about me. Damn near knocked me the fuck out when he should ’ve been going after Imran and taking care of him.
    “ Damn, I wonder where Imran is.” I questioned under my breath.
    I knew that he didn ’t just go away that easily. I knew Imran well and felt that he was close by waiting and watching.
    “ A’ight, come on. I think we can make it there in a few hours,” Ray said.
    I placed my hand over my mouth to drown out the moans that I couldn ’t stop from coming out. I closed my eyes tightly as a stream of pain ran through my entire body. I needed something to fix this shit. If only I could get a little relief. I know I had put myself in this situation and was willing to take what was thrown back at me. It was how shit worked when you did grimy stuff.
    Karma was a bitch and I believed in the saying “what goes around comes around.” That shit was nothing but the truth. I had fucked Imran over and now I was suffering the consequences, but I only hope that this shit didn’t last long. I either wanted to die soon or get some type of pleasure from it. I could only remember feeling happy about this whole lick we pulled for all of twenty-four hours. Everything just seemed to go completely downhill from there. I don’t know what the fuck I was thinking about, but then again I didn’t think Imran would recover, and thought that if he did, he wouldn’t have recovered so quickly. He’d bounced back way faster than I’d expected and came hard as hell.
    My body jumped at the sound of the car door opening and Chino ’s voice filling the inside. I opened my mouth to speak, but before the words could even come out, venom spit from Chino’s lips, “Was you able to grab my shit without Rain asking any questions? I should’ve told you to kill that bitch before…,” and suddenly he stopped speaking.
    “ Bro, that what I was trying to tell you on the phone, but you kept cutting me off. I was in the house grabbing it when somebody came in. Heard a little commotion going on downstairs and come to find out it was Rain and some nigga. A few shots were fired and next thing you know I had to knock Rain the fuck out…she’s in the back,” Ray explained to him.
    “ What the fuck you mean she’s in-” Chino looked over the seat and looked me dead in my eyes. I was so hurt to see how cold and uncompassionate his stare was. I knew that he wasn’t in love with me, but I had assumed that we were heading towards that way. I had sacrificed so much to be with him. Betrayed Yurie, killed his snitching best friend Stash, robbed Imran, and then turned around and killed Yurie—at least Yurie loved me.
    How the fuck could he do me like this after all I had done for him? I asked myself as I felt the hot tears that streamed down my face, burning the few open cuts that I had.
    “ Fuck did you bring her for? You should’ve just killed that bitch! And who the fuck is this nigga you talking about that was with her?” Chino asked so coldly.
    “ I don’t know. I went downstairs looking for him, looked all over the house and he was gone,” Ray told him.
    “ See that’s why I refused to put my trust into her grimy ass! She
