Free Boss Bitch (Bitch Series) by Deja King Page B

Maya is on.”
    “I feel you. If it were my child, heads would roll. Nobody would be immune but I don’t recommend you follow that path. Let the legal system do what it does first. If for some reason they fuck it up then we can go back to your list. But for now you have to fall back.”
    “I don’t know if I’ll be able to do that. The system already failed Aaliyah and the only reason the truth came out is because Quentin found the missing link to bring all this shit together. So let’s just say I’m not really confident with their services.”
    “Under the circumstances, that’s a fair statement but, Precious, you have way too much to lose. Trust me on this. Let the legal system do their job. You go out here playing vigilante you’re going to end up in the exact same place you fought to get Aaliyah out of.”
    “Point taken. I’ll give it some time to see what happens but Chantal and Justina will pay for what they did to Aaliyah, so for their sakes they better pray that punishment comes from the court of law, because my penance is a life for a life.”
    “I got that. All I’m trying to do is make sure Aaliyah and Xavier both grow up with their mommy.”
    “I feel you but let’s go,” I said, looking down at my watch. “Court is about to resume and you know I can’t be late.”
    “And I don’t want you to, so let’s go.”
    When we got back to the courtroom the first thing I did was look for Supreme. My eyes were darting all around but there wasn’t a trace of Supreme. There is no way he would miss this. Supreme knows that Aaliyah needs his support and so do I. I went to take my seat with a heavy heart. I felt a pair of eyes burning a hole through me and when I turned to see who it was, I realized it was Nico. Before I turned my head back around I checked out the other side of the courtroom and noticed T-Roc. Chantal and Justina were nowhere to be found which stunned me. I thought about what Genesis’s said and he might’ve been right. Had T-Roc been in touch with an attorney and started building a defense for his wife and daughter. If he had he was a piece of work.
    “All rise . . . ” I heard the officer say as my mind was still struggling to figure out where Chantal and Justina had disappeared to. Before I gave my full attention to the judge I scanned the courtroom one last time and Lorenzo wasn’t in attendance either. Genesis and Amir were standing together and right before I turned away I noticed Supreme walk through the doors. Praise The Lord Supreme is here, Aaliayh would’ve been devastated, I thought before sitting down.
    “Damn, I hope this shit is finally over and Aaliyah will be able to come home,” I whispered under my breath before saying a quiet prayer. I was also praying that Supreme would come sit next to me but when I glanced towards the door again he was sitting down in the back.
    “After speaking with both attorneys in my chambers and due to the testimony of Chantal Morgan I move to have all charges against Aaliyah Mills Carter dismissed with prejudice. Court dismissed,” he said pounding down his gavel.
    “My baby is finally coming home,” I said out loud with the biggest smile on my face. I wanted everybody to hear the joy in my voice. At this moment I wanted to celebrate Aaliyah but soon my focus would be on making sure everybody responsible for having her spend all those months behind bars paid in full.

    “I can’t believe I’m going home,” I hugged Mr. Anderson and said.
    “You deserve it. “
    “So I can just go?”
    “We have some paperwork to fill out but yes you will be going home today. Now go hug your family. I know you want to,” Mr. Anderson smiled.
    I found myself walking slowly towards my family. For whatever reason I felt nervous. It was weird. Spending all those months in jail made a small part of me feel like I didn’t know them anymore.
    “I’m so happy you’re coming home,” my mom said, greeting me with a big hug and kiss.
