27. Juelz
Bro, are you going to buy something you are looking mighty hard over there?” Zelan asked. We were sitting in the jewelry store of our private jewelry designer, normally he would come to us but Zel wanted to go to his shop today.
“I’m just checking some of the pieces out, do you mind?” I told him.
“Hell nawl, gone and get my sis what she deserves,” Zel stated, with a serious mug on his face. He was right, Ciera deserved it all and I was going to give her that shit on a silver platter. “Stan, what is the asking price on this baby?” I asked.
“Damnnnnn, what is that a damn baseball?” Zelan yelled out.
“Juelz, that ring is 2.6 million, it’s about twenty-one karats of the best grade A diamond quality, you can damn near see through it,” Stan said.
“Is there a diamond that has better quality than this one?” I asked.
“Yes, but that diamond can run you a hefty price tag,” Stan responded.
“Shittt, you must not know who you fucking with, that’s Bill Gates Jr!” Zelan yelled out. “Stan, I need you to get that diamond in fifteen Karats and create the best damn ring you have ever designed in your life, and let me know when you are done,” I stated.
“I got you my man, I will call you when it is ready. It may take a little while, but It will be worth the wait,” Stan stated.
“Zelan, did you pick out the rings?” Yeah, I want this one Stan,” Zelan spoke.
“That’s a good choice, ten-karat princess cut, your lady is going to love this ring,” Stan said, walking off to size the ring.
Ciera had texted us Ari’s ring size about an hour ago.
I did get Ciera and Ari a diamond bracelet and necklace for tonight.
I felt like all was well, in the world my family was safe, and we were all under one roof.
Ciera gave me a second chance, and I will never need a third.
That girl was my fucking air to continue breathing.
I can’t believe how much Laila Simone favors Kari for her not to share the same DNA as me.
I will never say she is not my daughter, because Kari will forever be my daughter.
Just thinking about Kari, that little girl is in-love with her brother and sister.
I thought we would have some jealousy going on, but no she has my ass a little jealous.
Kari wants to spend all her time under Ci and the babies.
“Are we all set for tonight?” Meek asked Zelan.
“Yeah man, the barber is meeting us at my house. Then we will go back so that I can ask Ari to marry me, and if she says yes, we get ready for the wedding,” Zelan spoke, I thought the nigga would be nervous, but my boy was cool as a fan.
“Bet,” Meek responded. The tailor already had our measurements, so he would be bringing over our suits for the wedding.
I just can’t believe my brother is putting all this together in a matter of seven hours.
I checked on Ciera, and she was resting, which I’m happy about.
With all that’s going on, we can’t forget that my lady just had our children.
I didn’t want this to be too much on her, but she said she felt alright.
Stan finally made it back out front with the rings for Z and we left.
He told me he would call me, when my ring for Ci was back I’m not sure when I would ask Ciera to marry me.
But I damn sure was going to be ready when I felt the time was right.
We stopped by the club to pick up the alcohol that we needed for tonight’s festivities.
I also had our manager call in some of our staff to work the reception tonight.
These people worked for us, I would rather have them serve our guest instead of strangers.
“Bro, you didn’t even give me an opportunity to throw you a bachelor party,” I told Zel.
“I’m good on that Ju, she is truly all I need my player days are over.
That shit was over the day I met Ari, shit I don’t even know if I called my line up to tell them we were done.
When I met Ari, that shit moved so fast it caught me by surprise,” Zelan said, laughing about his relationship with Ari.
I know exactly what he means, I had Asia, but I dropped her ass like it was nothing when I spotted Ciera.
It took us two hours to get our hair cut, and some chick came over to fix Meek and Zelan’s hair since these niggas was extra with their shit.
“Did you get everything set for the proposal?” I asked Zelan as we were driving back to my home.
“Yeah, we good. Did you make that call for the surprise guest?”
“Yes, she is en route right now, her husband just texted me and said they are about thirty minutes away,” I replied.
“Man, Ari is going to be so damn shocked by all of this. I just hope and pray my baby is ready, because I promise you I can’t wait to marry her,” Zel said with so much emotion I felt that shit.
I’m proud of the man he is, he is loyal, and he loves hard.
We finally made it to my house, and everything was coming together.
The decorators were out back setting up, and they had turned our pool house into something very intimate and beautiful.
Having the wedding in the pool house was Ciera’s Idea, because it could hold up to two hundred people inside.
We, of course, didn’t have that many people coming, but it was more than enough room.
Our lawyer was able to have someone from the clerk of courts come out, and bring the marriage license for Ari, and Zelan to sign if she agreed to marry him.
I guess my brother was sure because he was full speed ahead, with this wedding planning.
I had already put my grandfather up on game, so he was good to go and excited about the upcoming nuptials.
My body was still sore but starting to heal, and the light bruises in my face had cleared up.
Killing Javier was still not enough for me.
