    “I know my power boo.” Tiffany said drying her body off. Tiffany had an agenda to eliminate Binx, and then Mallory right after she paid her. Then she would tell Messiah she knew they had history.
     

     

     
    Chapter Eight
     
    Mallory lay in the hospital bed frustrated because Messiah walked out on her and Binx sent his goons to watch her door. Maybe Binx really did love her, but she wasn’t buying any of that shit. He’d done enough damage to her heart when he cheated. Mallory was hell bent on getting Messiah into her possession and to do that she needed to make Tiffany a whore. Her phone rung, and she tried to reach for it but the pain in her arm was excruciating.
     
    She took her time sitting up and by time she was able to get to the phone, it stopped. Looking at the caller ID it was Binx who called, but before she could call him back the room door opened. It was his goon with his arm stretched out holding a phone. Mallory grabbed the phone from him and dismissed him.
     
    “I was trying to answer you but I’m just sitting up straight.” Mallory answered already knowing it was Binx.
     
    “You want one of them to come in with you and sit?” He asked concerned.
     
    “No, I’m good. I like my privacy. Where are you?” She asked as if she cared.
     
    “Riding with Styles,” he replied. “Tell me what happened.” He said getting straight to the business. “Does it have anything to do with yo’ Pops?”
     
    “When I came in from shopping I went upstairs to undress and when I turned around I was hit. Then I was dragged to the stairs and down them. I didn’t see who it was; I heard them say your name though,” she lied.
     
    “FUCK! You sure you didn’t get a look at them?” Binx asked. “They didn’t take anything?” Mallory rolled her eyes and took a deep breath.
     
    “No none of that. They clearly wanted to send you a message.” Mallory replied. “When are you coming back here?” She asked.
     
    “Not tonight baby girl. I’ll be up to see you tomorrow.”
     
    “Alright baby, this headache done came back so I’m about to lie down,” she said.
     
    “If you need something let them niggas know.” Binx said before hanging up. The goon came to retrieve his phone and left Mallory alone to her thoughts. Messiah came to mind and she wondered just how she could get him back when she had summoned them to knock Binx off in two days. Mallory knew she wasn’t cut out for the cutthroat life because she had overstepped her boundaries by landing herself in the hospital.
     
    “I have to get the fuck out of here!” she said to herself. Mallory needed to be with her father when the plug gets pulled and she came up with the perfect plan. Mallory tried her best to stand and with all the pain she felt through her body, she managed to do so. “Dammit.” she said, and then took a few deep breaths. Mallory made her way to the door and noticed the two goons sitting and playing on their phone. When they saw her, they stood up to her aid. “Come in,” she said making sure the staff was out of earshot. They all went inside the room, and then closed the door she looked at them seriously before speaking. “I’ll pay you both to take me to my condo and I’ll call Binx when we get there.” Mallory said. “I hate hospitals and my condo is unheard of.” She said.
     
    “I’on know Mallory we gonna have to call Binx and see what he say.” One of them said like a little bitch.
     
    “I said I’m paying you… ten thousand dollars each plus I’ll get Binx to front y’all. I just want to leave this hospital.” She said laying it on thick.
     
    “Well in that case are you packed?”
     
    “I have everything I need on me, just get me a wheelchair and we’ll tell them y’all just taking me outside to smoke a cigarette,” Mallory said.

    Tiffany lotioned her arms, legs and feet with coco butter on the bed while Messiah caught up on the news. She couldn’t
