It was midday.

Tiesha looked at the sky.

The sun was shining bright, the sky w-.

"Fuck shit, Kiesha gon die if i don't get there on time", she muttered to herself.

She was driving over to Lowe's with baby Kofi.

She sighed and glanced at Kofi as he nibbled on his rubber toy.

"Don't eat the toy baby".

He doesn't reply her as he chewed harder on it.

Tiesha smiled slightly realizing It was a good thing she disinfected them earlier.

When she got to the gates of Lowe's mansion, she stepped on the brake pad and waited for a voice to speak.

"Name?", the voice asked over the speaker.

"MoTiesha".

She rolled her eyes as the camera zoomed in on her face.

"Sorry Ma'am", the gates opened and she drove in.

She took Kofi and made her way into the house.

The bodyguards and servants bowed their heads as she walked in.

The gold and black interior decorations welcomed her.

Lowe was sitting in a chair, blunt in his mouth and counting money.

He looked up and saw Tiesha then winked at her before he continued counting.

She sat down and made herself comfortable.

"Ain't complete", he threw the money at the man beside him.

"Boss man please".

"Ya owe me fifty grand Sam, you fucking drop twenty. If i let every goddamned person owing me money get away with shit like this, Imma be broke".

"I'll pay, i just need more time", the man called Sam begged.

"Twenty four hours or ya lose your head".

"Thank you".

The man packed the money then glanced at Tiesha and left.

"How are you?", she asked her cousin.

"Not good", he replied.

"What's wrong?".

He switched on the TV and increased the volume.

"-The famous fruit factory, KR Fruits has been put under lockdown for investigation. An illegal tobbaco farm was found at the back of the fruit factory at 4pm on Thursday. Owner of KR Fruits, Mr Lowe Kona-Reys has denied all allegations claiming he had no idea about the farm. The government has-".

"You growing weed at the factory?".

"I got snitched", he replied.

"How you gon cover this up?".

"Already working on it, it gon die down inna few days".

"Mr Kona-Reys is a huge suspect on trade of illegal drugs, oil looting, traffic of weapons and fraud. He has also denied all these allegations claiming his money is clean. No concrete evidence has been found against him. The commissioner of police-".

"Lowe", Tiesha groaned.

"I know mami, imma be more careful", he said and rubbed his face.

"You eaten?", she asked.

He nodded and sighed in frustration.

"How's Keisha?".

"Room".

"She's leaving tomorrow", Tiesha said.

"Yeah, i got her things packed".

Tiesha made her way to Kiesha's room with Kofi in her arms. She knocked on the door then went in.

Kiesha was lying on her side. She looked up at her sister and gasped.

Tiesha sat on the bed and dropped Kofi on it.

Kiesha lunged forward and hugged her older sister tightly, crying.

"Tiesha, I'm sorry", she cried.

Tiesha hugged her back and rubbed her hand on her baby sister's back.

"It's ok".

"I'm so sorry", Kiesha cried into her sister's neck and sniffed.

She finally let her go and then hugged Kofi.

"Hey sweetie", she said to him.

Then she looked at Tiesha and sniffed back snort.

Motiesha looked well at her sister who looked like she's been dragged to hell and back.

"What did he do?", Tiesha asked quietly.

"He whupped my ass", Kiesha showed her sister her naked ass who saw marks all over it.

She then showed Tiesha her palms which were very red.

"He put them over a fire".

Tiesha cringed.

At least, It's just her palms and not the back where it would have left a mark, she thought.

"I can't walk. He made me do frog jump till i couldn't walk".

He must have been really upset to punish her this much, Tiesha sighed.

She knew Lowe had anger issues.

Tiesha pulled her sister close.

Kiesha rested her head on sister's shoulder who wrapped an arm around her.

"I won't tell Lowe anything you say. You can talk to me".

Kiesha nodded.

"Why did you do it?".

She kept quiet making Tiesha sigh.

"Whatever reason you had, it was wrong. Don't go sucking dick on cam if you ain't a pornstar. Don't go stripping if you ain't one. You wanna take coke?, do it responsibly. Don't go losing your senses".

"I'm sorry".

"Enough. Words don't mean shit if you don't back em up with some actions. For real Kiesha, promise me it ain't gon happen again".

"I promise".

"Lowe hates me".

"He don't hate you baby, he's just mad".

"You sure?".

"Yeah, it gon blow over".

Kofi crawled on Keisha and she smiled.

"Imma leave you with him", Tiesha said and stood up.

"You staying the night?".

"Yeah sure", then she left Kiesha and Kofi alone.

Lowe was rolling another blunt when Tiesha passed him to go to the pharmacy to get Kiesha some drugs and ointments.

When she got back, Kiesha was asleep so Tiesha went to the living room to have a talk with Lowe.

"How's she?", he asked.

"Holding up".

She sat down beside him and he placed his head on her thigh.

"She think you hate her".

"Ion hate her, she my baby. I just had to teach her some lessons".

"She learnt".

"I know".

That night, Kiesha didn't come down for dinner so Tiesha took it to her and gave her the drugs.

Kiesha pulled Tiesha close and told her to sleep with her.

Kofi was between them as they slept together, Tiesha giving her advice about school and sorts.

The next day, a beautiful Sunday morning.

Lowe woke them up around six am.

"Get your asses in the car now", he grunted.

By seven am, three of them were in the car going to Keisha's school.

They got there around eleven am and helped her settle in.

Then, they were about to leave.

"Finish ya registration this week. Miss one class and imma whup your ass. I got eyes on ya", Lowe told Kiesha.

They hadn't spoken to each other the whole journey.

Kiesha looked like she was about to cry so Lowe sighed and hugged her.

"I love ya baby. Ya know that huh?".

She buried her face in his chest and hugged his waist.

They stayed like that for some seconds before separating.

"Now ya got tears on my shirt".

He took off his shirt and handed it to her leaving girls gaping at his naked chest.

"Wash it", then he gave her a kiss on her forehead and went back to the car.

Tiesha handed Kiesha two credit cards and some cash.

"Behave OK?".

Kiesha nodded and hugged her then kissed Kofi.

Lowe took Tiesha to her crib before going back to his mansion.

Around eight pm, Koko knocked.

Tiesha opened the door and Koko walked in with a bag.

"Bish, i got gist".
