Cheaters Never Prosper

Wow, thx everyone! This story is doing really well...👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✨✨✨

Sarai's POVVon, Kyrie, Booka, Jen, Muwop and India all took off in the direction of the shooting.

Along with two other guys that I haven't formally met yet...

I followed behind them keeping a distance and out of the corner of my eye I saw Bryson coming out the elevator.

He ran over to me and I wrapped my arms around his neck as I was in tears.

He somewhat lifted me off the ground and asked me "what's wrong?"

"I want to leave here Bryce, please..."

"Did I just hear shooting?!?"

"Yes!!!" I cried freaking out even more

"Come on..." Bryson dragged me in the direction of where they all went and I was scared for what I might see next.

"DURK WHAT DID YOU DO?!?" India yelled as a man was struggling to breathe on the ground.

"YOU HAD THIS NIGGA COMIN TO MY HOUSE, THAT I FUCKIN PAY FOR?!? ARE YOU FUCKIN STUPID INDIA?" Durk yelled as Von and Muwop held him back against the wall.

"YOU LOW DOWN DIRTY BITCH GET THE FUCK OUT MY HOUSE!" Durk continued to yell as she fell to the ground next to the man that was bleeding out from his head.

"I've seen him here before..." Bryce whispered to me and I was very confused?

"When?" I whispered back

"A few days ago"

"Where?..."

"I'll tell you later"

"Durk you just killed Sky's dad!!!" India yelled in tears holding the deadman in her lap and caressing his head.

"I'm about to kill yo triflin ass next once they let me the fuck go. I'm threw with yo hoe ass India, we done for good."

"Durk please, like I give a fuck! I was planning on leaving you anyway! You've been unfaithful our entire relationship!"

There were a bunch of oooh's and awww's coming from each direction. Every time Durk would say something all of our heads would snap in his direction and vice versa when India yelled back at him.

"Shut the fuck up ion even wanna hear the sound of yo stupid ass childish ass voice no mo. If I was so called unfaithful it's because you wasn't doin yo job right. That's why I ain't and never will wife yo stupid thirsty desperate destitute ugly ass!"

"Aight y'all need to chill, we is all standing here still" Booka yelled over them 🗣

"Aye Doodie let's get this nigga body out of here man" one of the other guys I don't know yelled

They picked him up by his head and feet and started heading towards the backyard walking right past Bryson and I

"Aye that nigga Boona weak as hell, he about to drop his ass" Von laughed with Muwop

So his name is Boona and the other guy is Doodie.

Muwop and Von finally let Durk go as it seemed he calmed down some and India jumped up and started running over to him.

As soon as she was in front of him, Durk knocked India clear out onto the ground and stomped on her neck afterwards. She was completely unconscious and it looked like Durk was about to strike again.

"DURK NIGGA CHILL YOU GON KILL HER!!! You can't be hitting females in front of me nigga!" Kyrie yelled shoving Durk backwards extremely hard and then they broke out into a fist fight.

Durk body slammed Kyrie onto the stairs and I heard his back crack making me cover my eyes from all the fear and anxiety that was growing inside of me. I've never been around so much fighting and killing. All while trying to process this and calm down, Bryson does the unthinkable.

He started yelling "CHEATERS NEVER PROSPER AIN'T THAT RIGHT, SHE BEEN CHEATING WITH THIS NIGGA! I SAW THEM GETTIN IT IN IN THE BACK OF ONE OF YO CARS BUT SHE TOLD ME NOT TO SAY NOTHIN BRO, SORRY! THAT'S WHY HER ASS WAS BEING SO NICE TO SARAI WE MADE A DEAL!"

"Bryson, what did you just do?! You have no business getting into that!!!" I squealed hitting his arm softly.

"NIGGA SHUT YO STUPID ORANGOUTANG LOOKIN ASS UP! YOU OVER THERE TRYNA START SOME SHIT NIGGA AND YOU SEE MY BROTHER GOING THROUGH SOME REAL SHIT RIGHT NOW!!!" Booka yelled running over and shoving Bryson to the ground and pressing his gun into his head.

"PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T!!!!!!" I cried and screamed to the top of my lungs trying to pull Booka away from Bryson.

"What the fuck you say nigga?" Durk yelled running over to where we all are and shoving Booka out the wat thankfully.

"I was just telling you the truth bro" Bryson retaliated a little too aggressively "if you gon shoot nigga do it!"

"Bryson be quiet!!!" I yelled over him. He is going to get himself killed if he keeps it up and I need him. I already lost mom and dad.

"Oh so now you wanna talk. Why you ain't say shit before??? You tryna embarrass me nigga?!" Durk yelled even louder than before.

With every word Durk said I could tell he was getting more and more heated and I was scared he was about to fight Bryson next. But Bryson was out of line for not saying anything sooner, especially to me. He doesn't necessarily owe any loyalty to Durk.

"I was tryna save Sarai fuck was I supposed to do?! India promised to bring her back here if I ain't say shit about what I saw." Bryson responded

Looking down at Bryson I felt bad because I know his intentions were good but there's no way I can help him out of this situation. 🤷🏽‍♀️

"Man shut the fuck up on some real shit you bogus, both of y'all." Durk said directing his last statement towards me? Now what did I do?

"What the fuck y'all just standing around for?!" Durk continued to yell pacing back and forth and all his friends started backing away.

"Aye, when Durk get like this, just give him space." Von spoke up

I kneeled down to help Bryson up so we can just go back to the room and Durk shoved me back making me fall to the ground and started punching Bryson's face in.

"Durk please stop!!!" I yelled in tears as none of the other guys tried to help Bryce.

Bryce was getting some hits in but Durk was kicking his ass because he was enraged.

"Durk please stop hitting him......." I cried struggling to get up but Von pulled me up instead.

"Nigga don't be shoving her like that you need to gon somewhere wit all that energy" Von yelled in my defense punching and shoving Durk to the ground.

I can't believe Von is coming to my defense like this, but really all these guys should. There's no way I'm winning in a fight with Durk.

Durk and Von finally stopped fighting and got up. Durk looked back at me and then back at Bryce and started walking in my direction.

Durk got right in my face and seemed more pissed than before. I am terrified he might hit me next.

I started shaking in fear and flinched preparing for his attack but I didn't feel anything.

I peeked my eyes open again and Durk had his face in his hands aggressively scratching his dreads and Von was standing in front of me.

"You put your hands on her again and I'm killing you gang." Von spoke up and I felt relieved.

"Why did you lie to me Sarai?" Durk asked after a few minutes of silence and I was so confused?

"What?!? What did I lie about?"

"You said ain't shit happen between you and Von."

"What?!? Nothing did—

"I just saw the nigga kiss you."

"Okay yes we kissed that night, maybe it got somewhat heated but I didn't sleep with him Durk. Why does it even concern you anyway?"

"Yeah nigga you need to mind yo fuckin business, why you so pressed about that damn situation?" Von added

"Why does it— you know what, that's the same shit Sarai." Durk said to me completely ignoring what Von said and just taking his anger out on me.

"What is the same???" I cried trying to figure out what he means

"You know what fuck I'm saying, don't play fuckin dumb."

"Durk I don't understand why you are so mad at me..." I cried even harder and I couldn't control my breathing anymore...I feel like I'm about to have a panic attack.

"It don't matter, I thought you was different but you just like the rest of em. Both you and yo dumb ass brother can go."

Durk started walking away from me after saying that but I walked right after him. He only has so many more passes to put his hands on my brother and talk mess about him.

"You thought I was different?!? No, I thought you were different!" I yelled through my tears but he showed no emotions how he usually would.

"Ain't you hear what I said? Go, get out, I don't want y'all here anymore." the way Durk was looking at me hurt my feelings deep, how can he be so heartless? His words felt like knives all over.

"But Durk...you know we have nowhere to go—

"I don't give a fuck, I wish I never met y'all. Get the fuck out." he yelled back at me before I could even finish.

"Durk, you don't mean that" I cried looking into his eyes trying to figure out why he was doing this "what about—

"Look, y'all got 10 minutes to get yo sister, yo shit and out my fuckin house before I call security."

After his last statement he walked away, grabbed his keys and left.

Fine, no need for me to beg to stay somewhere I'm not wanted.

Bryce and I both started walking towards the elevators to get our stuff and Olai. I have no problem granting Durk's wish and leaving here. I've never had my feelings hurt this badly.

As we were waiting for the elevator to come back up I heard footsteps approaching. I thought it might be Durk but it was Von instead.

"Aye, y'all can stay with me?" he spoke concerned

"You don't have to do that Von. You've done enough tonight thanks." I responded wiping my tears and stepping in the elevator and shockingly Von got in with us.

Bryson gave me an angry side eye likely because he just wants me to accept Von's invitation. It's just something about this that seems too good to be true...

"I know I don't have to, I want to shorty."

We all stepped off the elevator and Bryson went in the room and slammed the door while I remained out in the hall with Von.

Von leaned in to me and started kissing me all over my face as I continued to cry.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and I started crying even harder.

"Durk ain't mean all that shit he just angry right now."

"I know but ... why would he—

"Fuck him, you got me...we do too much talkin about that nigga anyway." Von laughed but I found absolutely nothing funny.

"I don't want to be a burden to you Von. I don't want Durk to hate me—

"Aye, what I tell you about looking down all the time?" he asked pulling my head up by my chin "you need to learn to let shit go, life go on...Durk out there drivin around mad as hell that's on him. He'll think about this shit later."

He kissed my lips one more time and said "let me help you pack yo shit".

I'm getting used to the feeling of his lips on mine...

I didn't accept or decline his offer and simply turned around to go back in the room and start packing.

Bryson was putting Olai's jacket on over her head as she sat there crying, kicking, screaming and whining like a three year old. Part of me wishes we could just leave her behind.

Bryson was fully dressed in a Nike sweatsuit and their bags were both packed and ready to go.

I pulled out my bag from under my bed and went back and forth from the bedroom to the bathroom to pack away my belongings.

Von was sitting on the edge of my bed folding and packing away some of the clothes I bought.

I'm surprised he is being this helpful when Durk is actually his friend.

All the money I've collected is zipped up in a bag in the back of my backpack so I secretly checked to make sure it was all there and it in fact was.

"You got a lot of shit..." Von smiled trying to zip my bag closed but it appeared the zipper was on the verge of breaking.

"You know ... can never have enough clothes!" I joked trying to make light of this dark situation.

"Here, I'll hold it and you zip it."

I followed his instructions and we eventually got the bag to barely stay closed.

"Alright, y'all ready?" Von asked standing up looking between the 3 of us

I could see Bryson's face bruising up from a distance so I ran to the bathroom sink where there were First Aid Kits.

I took out the alcohol, cotton swabs, bandaids and started cleaning off his cuts and bruises gently.

"That shit hurts and burns Sarai..." Bryson flinched at my touch

"Sorry...but you don't want an infection right?" I asked

"Really don't give a fuck as of now..." he mumbled resting his head in my hands

"Why is Bryson's face so messed up anyway, he's looking mad crazy?" Olai whined

"You don't say that like that Olai, what's wrong with you? Stay in a child's place..." I yelled at her

"Sorry..." she replied but I know she's not truly sorry. Good thing is both Bryson and I could care less about anything she has to say.

I finished cleaning Bryson up and gave him one final hug as we all grabbed our bags and put our backpacks on.

"Y'all ready now?" Von asked putting his phone away and getting off the bed

I noticed he was doing a lot of texting and sending a lot of 😍 emojis but he could've been talking about anything.

We all shook our head yes and followed Von out the room and all the way back upstairs.

Surprisingly, the rest of the group were back playing, drinking and smoking. Not one of them was even trying to check on Durk. What great friends he has.

India's body was gone from where it once was and Durk was nowhere to be found of course. I'm assuming she just woke up and left, I doubt she'd press charges against Durk.

There was a huge trash bag under the counter that seemed to be a body bag, yeah I'm definitely ready to get out of here...

"Aye imma see y'all tomorrow" Von shouted out to them

"Aight nigga, he finna get some—

I'm thankful Von cut Booka off because his next statement couldn't have been anything of value.

"You was my car ride over here nigga and now you just dippin?" Muwop spoke

"Muwop you know good and damn well you can ride back with one of these niggas or just take an Uber with yo broke ass."

I thought Muwop would be offended by that but he seemed to just find it funny.

"Aight have fun nigga with yo little sneaky link, Durk gon beat yo ass watch..." Muwop shouted back before reverting his attention to the group again

What does sneaky link mean and why would Durk try to fight Von again?

Anyways, we all followed Von out the door to his Rolls Royce truck. He helped us put our bags in his trunk and I felt myself calming down some.

I mean we could be in a way worse position right now of having nowhere to go again...

It would've been a little bit different this time since we have cellphones. We have friends and/or family we could ask to stay with. In which we still might do.

Staying with Von will only be temporary and we will be looking for jobs and getting on our feet soon hopefully.

We also have to find away to get Olai to and from the school she's enrolled in or just switch to full time home schooling.

"You can come sit up front in the passenger seat Sarai" Von said to me

"Okay..."

Bryson glanced at me as he picked Olai up and sat her in the backseat sliding in next to her. Ugh, what's his problem now.

"Ion live too far from here so this won't take too long, my crib much nicer than Durk's anyway." Von announced to all of us

"Thanks Von...we are in the process of getting jobs and on out feet...we really appreciate it."

He picked my hand up off my lap and kissed the top of it before saying "you won't need to work"

"Are you dating?" Olai abruptly asked and I wanted to kick her out the car already.

Von looked back at her and said "not yet youngin"

"Can we just turn the music up like last time?" I asked Von to avoid anymore stupid questions from Olai.

He thankfully put on...

_____________________One hour later...

Von was kind of right his mansion is SUPER nice, minus the butlers and staff.

We got settled in fairly quickly and he gave us one huge room to share. This room is probably the size of a small house.

We ate some of the food in the kitchen and Bryson put Olai in bed. I just took my robe out my bag and was ready to shower and go to bed. We can just figure out our next move tomorrow. But I sort of want to talk to Bryson about what just happened first.

"Hey Bryce..."

"Mmm?"

"I appreciate you trying to get me back there when I left......."

"You knew I would"

"So I just feel like I should tell you Durk actually came and saved me that night...we stayed in a hotel and everything."

"What the hell?"

"I know..."

"Why you ain't say nothin?"

"He said it stays between him and I but now I see he doesn't care. I guess the same reason you didn't say anything about...—

"Sarai, those are two completely damn different scenarios. Durk came and asked me that day where you went. He ended up leaving but I didn't think that's what he was doing. How did he even find you?"

"Well he caught me outside that pizza place we were living in front of......a man was actually trying to take me..."

"Take you?! See this why you can't go nowhere by yourself."

"Bryce, I learned a lesson okay I did but........I can't stop thinking about how he kicked us out...Durk actually really hurt me, when I came back home from my date with Von we hung out in the movie theater and talked all night about any and everything. I would've never expected him to react like this."

"I tried to tell you Sarai, ion wanna fuckin hear this shit now. Matter of fact, I'm going to bed...I see where yo loyalty lie."

"I'm sorry Bryson, please don't be mad at me now. My loyalty is ultimately with you, we are family."

"Oh yeah? I just got my ass kicked by some fake ass gangbangers...I felt like a fuckin loser."

"But you aren't, they weren't even fighting fair!"

"Who he needed to be mad at was India...I mean look at me, face fucked up and shit...I want revenge."

"Look...just sleep it off Bryson, we can talk more tomorrow, I'm getting on the shower...I love you"

"Yeah"

I jumped up to walk down to the kitchen to drink some wine I saw in there. From the day I just had, I need to relax.

Von's POVI was about to call one of my little hoes over for tonight until I saw Sarai run down into the kitchen.

Mmm I guess she'll do for tonight, I think I've done enough to get her to give in.

I walked up behind her and she jumped when I asked "you calm down yet?"

"Yes..." she lowly responded pouring my damn wine, ain't this some shit

"It don't seem like it, you still in here sniffling and shit...I thought you ain't drink like that?"

"Sorry—

"Mmm mmm no more apologizing...drink as much as you want. I like this lil robe you got on tho........"

"Thanks..."

She seem nervous as hell but hopefully that wine she drinking relax her.

"You wanna sleep in the room I gave y'all tonight or with me?"

"Oh uh........I think if I sleep with you things might...you know?"

I put my blunt down before saying "They might what? Come here..."

Sarai's POV"Von wait...slow down........."

"How slow you want me to go...I usually like to go fast......"

Von was leaving kisses all up and down my neck and he had both his hands under my robe now

I really don't know what to do in this situation because I've never been this far before or felt feelings like this before.

Should I push him off or just enjoy myself tonight?.........
