6. Juelz
Laying here holding Ciera gives me such peace.
I should have followed my heart. Instead, I followed a bitch that didn’t deserve my loyalty and love.
I’m not sure where things lie with Ci and I, but my loving her will never stop.
My heart is heavy, and needing to see my daughter was key for me.
Since Kari was born, it has always been me and her, I had to learn how to care for her on my own.
I didn’t hire a Nanny for Kari until she was eight months old.
My mother helped me and has continued to be a support system for me, and Kari.
Now this bitch Kenya tells me, Kari is not my daughter, bitch fuck you!
Kari will forever be my daughter, and no test is going to stop that.
I just can’t believe I let love blind me to the disloyal shit that has been going on for years.
I know that we have a war on our hands, and we will be ready for whatever Javier comes with.
He couldn’t win last night, and he won’t win any other night.
His Cartel isn’t the only Cartel that I’m connected too.
I sent Jeff a text asking him to get a number for me, about ten minutes later he sent me the number I needed.
Getting out of bed and walking on the patio, I dialed the number of Santiago Vega.
“Hola,” a male voice answered.
Hola, necesito hablar con Mr. Vega (Hello, I need to speak with Mr. Vega), I stated.
Si, this is Senor Vega, and I speak English if that is better for you.
“Senor, my name is Juelz Kassom and I was very close to your son Ramone Vega. I actually worked for him, and he turned his empire over to me. I just recently learned that Ramone was mine, and my brother’s father,” I stated.
“You said Ramone is your father. Where did you get this information, son?” Santiago asked.
“Ziek Kassom, was more than happy to tell my brother and I when he tried to kill us,” I spoke.
“This is interesting news, you said Ziek Kassom told you this information?” Santiago asked.
“Yes sir,” I responded.
“What is your brother’s name son,” Santiago responded.
“Zelan Kassom is his name, sir,” I stated.
“Juelz, I would like to meet you and Zelan, I will plan to come to the states in a week. I have your contact information and will be in touch, enjoy the rest of your day,” Santiago said and ended the call.
The Vega Cartel was one of the largest Cartels around.
He and Javier were running a race on which one was actually the largest.
Mone was not on good terms with his family.
He was upset that he had to work his way up to the top, and that is why he went to work with Javier Ramirez out of spite.
No matter what he did, though, Santiago loved his son and let him do whatever he desired to do.
So, if Mone was our father, we just gained a new allegiance with our grandfather Santiago Vega.
With my organization, and the Vega Cartel, Javier doesn’t stand a chance.
Hell, with my organization alone he would never make it.
“Juelz, are you ok?” Ciera asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine, baby. Let’s shower and head downstairs to hang out with the family,” I said, looking at this beautiful woman. Damn, why did I fuck this up? I’m just going to have to work my ass off to get her back, and I’m ready to do just that.
“Ok, let’s go shower,” Ci stated.
“Ciera, I need you to know how sorry I am for the way I treated you. You didn’t deserve it, and I know you don’t won’t to discuss it right now. Please just promise that we will discuss it at some point, alright?” I told her, as she looked at me with sadness in her eyes.
“I love you, Julez, and it is going to take some time to trust that you are all about me. Just know I don’t want to be anywhere else,” Ciera said and leaned over to kiss my lips. I grabbed her ass up and pulled her close, kissing her softly.
“Ju, what are your plans regarding Kari?” Ci asked.
“I plan to love my daughter, she is my daughter, Ciera. There is nothing anyone can tell me about her,” I responded.
“That’s what I wanted to hear. She is your daughter, and I’m with whatever you decide,” Ci stated, and we got out of the bed and went to take our shower. About an hour later, we went down to hang out with the family. Everyone was out back getting their party on, drinking and having a good time.
“Dadddddddy,” Kari screamed, running up to me.
“Hey baby, are you having fun?” I asked.
“Mmmmm hmmm we were swimming, and I was dancing with uncle Zel, and uncle Meek. But Uncle Zel got jealous when I was dancing with uncle Meek because he danced better,” Kari said, scrunching up her face.
“Uncle Zel will be alright, he knows he can’t dance.” I laughed.
“Don’t tell him I said it, but he really can’t daddy,” Kari responded, and we shared a laugh.
“Your secret is always safe with your dad baby girl,” I smiled at her.
“CiCi, when are my sister and brother coming? I’m tired of waiting,” Kari asked Ci with her face scrunched up again.
“You got about four months munchkin,” Ci smiled at her.
“Awwww man, that is too long. I want to tell them what to do now,” Kari said and walked off. Me and Ciera looked at each other, and we could only laugh at our little girl.
“Welcome to the party you two,” Ari said smiling at us, as we sat down at the table they were seated at.
“Yo, you good?” Zelan asked, and I nodded to let him know I was ok. I really wasn’t alright; the shit with my baby girl was heavy on my heart. But being here with her, Ciera, and my babies made me feel so much better.
“I need to let you all know that we are going back to New York in two days. Take this time and enjoy yourselves, we will schedule another vacation soon,” I said to everyone.
As much as I liked it here, I needed to get back to New York.
There was no way that I was leaving my family behind, so the vacation was coming to an end.
“Zelan, let me rap to you for a minute,” I nodded, getting up from the table.
“What’s up?” Zelan asked.
“I called Santiago Vega and told him about what we found out about Mone,” I spoke.
“What did he say?” Z asked
“He said he was coming to the states, in a week to see us,” I responded.
“Bet, we’ll see him in a week. Take some time and spend with your family bruh. You need them right now,” he said, and I planned to do just that.
Seeing Ciera and Kari smile and love on each other made me smile.
All I ever wanted was to be happy, have a family and continue to fill my bank account.
Being with Ciera brings me so much peace, and that’s what I need in my life.
One thing I’ve learned is that no matter how much shit I go through in the streets.
When I come home to my family, that’s where my heart should relax, and my safe space begins.
I smiled because that’s all I ever wanted.
