The Return of His Revengeful Queen

Chapter 3

Hattie loves the renovated shelter. They now have a hundred extra beds and a playroom for the children. She still misses her sweet Alfredo, but Jerry and Raymond keep her busy. This will be their freshman year at UCLA. They both receive scholarships but not enough to cover the full tuition. Thanks to Heavenlee paying for the rest, Hattie doesn’t have to worry. Hattie hasn’t allowed anyone to do community service since Faith. She refuses to put the people that come there for help in jeopardy. Raymond and Jerry still work there with her.

Last night was a little strange. She thought that the shelter was being watched. She knew that Heavenlee was on her way back from Bora Bora, so she called LeBron. The car left a few minutes before he arrived. He thought that it would be best if he spent the night. This morning, he’ll get with Colin about putting some people here to guard the shelter.

Hattie is talking to Patty, her assistant, when a young lady walks over to her and hands her a package. She’s about to ask if she needs to sign for it. But the woman walks away. “Now that’s odd” Hattie is reading the label that has Heavenlee’s name on it, but there isn't a sender's name on the label.” She put the package on her desk in her office. Hattie is frowning while still looking at the package.

Lebron walks into the room, asking her about the delivery woman. Hattie shows him the package and asks him if he would take it to Heavenlee when he goes over there later today.

He picks up the package and nods his head thinking, "When I spoke with Ray earlier, he mentioned a package was delivered to the house. This has to be connected."

Heavenlee is straddling Carlisle moving her body and moaning. He’s sitting up, caressing her breast and pushing his hardness inside her harder. Carlisle's arms are around her waist, and he’s pulling her down harder on his shaft while moaning, “Baby.”

She lets out a soft moan while catching his lip. Carlisle pushes her back on the bed and raises her left leg over his shoulder, thrusting her hard and fast. Heavenlee's nails are digging into his back as she they reach their high.

“Damn, Baby. Woo” He’s breathing hard as he slides off of her

Heavenlee is also breathing hard. “Babe, what am I going to do with you? We have only slept for about an hour” She’s getting out of bed.

“Give me a minute or two to catch my breath, and I’ll show you” He looks down at his shaft. It’s standing up.

“No, nope, put that on hold. Father and mom are on their way here, and I have to call Jody before I meet with father.” She’s walking into the bathroom.

Carlisle jumps out of bed and speed walks behind her. “I’m getting some more candy first.”

Colin, Pam, and Ana are feeding the kids breakfast downstairs in the kitchen. Ana is rushing her breakfast down because Jackson is on his way to pick her up. She almost gets choked.

“Slow down. That young man isn’t going anywhere. If he hasn’t left you yet, I don’t believe it will happen today.” Pam is patting Ana’s back.

Cam, CJ, and Chloe are laughing at Ana.

Colin chuckles while he's helping Heath and Hailee eat.

“Good morning” Heavenlee and Carlisle walk to the kitchen. Heavenlee walks to the coffeemaker.

Carlisle is pouring him and Baby a glass of acai berry juice. “Baby, let’s enjoy our breakfast first, then we’ll talk about this craziness.” He’s looking at Cam getting down and running to meet Al. He hits Al’s leg.

Al chuckles “every time I ask him why he hits me. He just hits me again. So, I stopped asking”

“So did we, my friend he would only laugh and say, my buddy.” Carlisle laughs, looking at Cam wrapped around Al’s leg.

“He's here” Ana jumps up, looking at the door.

Carlisle looks at her “Damn girl, sit your ass down. Play a little hard to get”

Everyone in the room laughs.

Ana rolls her eyes at him and runs to meet Jackson. She jumps into his arms and wraps her legs around him.

“I know I’m not seeing what I think I am” Carlisle stands up, pointing at the young couple.

Baby stands up, walks over to him, and whispers, “Be nice or no candy tonight” she kisses his cheek. "Ana missed him, just as you would miss me if I had been gone for a week.”

He looks at her “Point taken, Baby.”

“A week? Hell, he’ll be missing you if you were gone for five minutes." Al mumbles

Carlisle rolls his eyes at Al.

“Aww, you brought me a gift for me?” Ana is reaching for the package.

“Jackson shook his head “no, sweetheart this is for Heavenlee. But it was delivered to my house. The courier told Essie to give it to me. When I looked at it and saw Heavenlee’s name on it, I put it up until you all returned from Bora Bora.” He hands Heavenlee the package.

Heavenlee is about to open it when her phone rings. She looks at the screen and sees Marcus' name. She’s surprised that Marcus hasn’t called in five years, so she knows it must be important.

“Phone conversation”

Hello

Marcus: Hello, Heaven. How are you?

Heavenlee: I’m doing well, and you?

Marcus: I’m doing well also. I’m calling you because I received a package this morning with your name on it, but no sender information is on it. Is everything okay?

Heavenlee: I’m beginning to believe that something is going on. Will you open it and tell me what’s in it?

Marcus: Sure. I knew something wasn’t right when I saw your name. But why would it be delivered to me? What the hell?

Heavenlee: Marcus. Marcus, are you still there?

(Everyone in the room is looking at her. Carlisle is frowning, and his fist is balled up)

Marcus: It’s a f*****g note. Damn, here goes. Marcus is the second man that you love. I want you to know that everyone you care about, I can kill any time I want to. See you soon, Heavenlee AKA Nikki. That's all it says. Heaven, someone is coming after me because you care about me.

Heavenlee: So it seems that way. Don’t worry, I promise you whoever it is will not harm you. I’ll get with my father to send some people over to you, Nora, Joseph, and Lauren, just to be safe. I’m sorry that the asshole pulled you into this.

Marcus: Don’t be sorry. You can’t control other actions. Thank you for protecting my family.

Heavenlee: You’re welcome. I’ll check on you all soon. Be careful

Marcus: I will. You watch your back

Heavenlee: I always do. Always do

“End of call”

Heavenlee doesn’t say anything when she hangs up. She takes a deep breath and opens the package that Jackson has received.

“Baby, what in the hell is going on? What did Marcus Knight want?” Carlisle is looking at her with his fist still balled up.

“It seems that I’m the reason for everything that is happening. Father, Jackson, and the Knight brothers and their family need protection.” She gives Carlisle the note.

“A package came for you yesterday. It looks exactly the same package as that one. That's what I came in here to tell you. I put it on your desk. Ray said that Hattie received one this morning.” Al sits down, looking at her.

“s**t I thought that it was just Pam and me. We received ours late yesterday.” Colin looks at Pam

“What? Why didn’t you tell me?" Pam snaps her head, looking at him

"Dear, you were excited about having a Spa day with our daughter. I didn’t want to ruin it for you.” Colin pats her hand.

Carlisle put the note on the table. “The assholes included Marcus in this because they knew he had feelings for you years ago.” He’s pointing at the note before he hits it with his fist. He looks at Baby. She was on the phone. He is about to ask her who she is talking to when he sees Ray walking into the room with Matt and Lynn. His eyes go to his father’s hand, and yell. “Damn it”

Heath and Hailee are frowning and about to cry. Because he yelled, he walks over to the twins and picks them up. “Don’t cry, daddy is upset. Don’t cry daddy loves you two so much" He kisses their foreheads.

Heath and Hailee smiles and lays their head on his shoulders

Chloe picks up Piper and looked at the twins, and shook her head. "Two big babies"

Heavenlee put her cell phone on the table. “Buford and Jody just received their package It says the same as the others." She hated lying to Carlisle, but she didn’t want him to know every word Marcus's note said. Carlisle just recently accepted that nothing will ever be between her and Marcus. She walked over to him to take one of the twins and thought, "I don't want to get Babe stirred up again. Marcus receiving a note is bad enough. I won't reveal that entire note unless I have to. God, please don't let it come to that. I don't know what Babe might do."

Colin is reading Matt's note. "You two will need security. Take a seat and get comfortable until they arrive" Colin points at a chair. He starts telling them what they know so far.

Mrs. Tibbs sets Matt and Lynn's cups of coffee on the table.

When Colin finishes, Pam hits the table. Lynn is looking nervous. “Calm down, dear. We’ll have guards with us.” Matt hugs her. “Calm down”

“Heavenlee, you have to teach me how to skin a mutherfucker. I can’t just stand by and let whoever thinks that they can just come after my family anytime they get an itch.” Pam is standing up and looking at Heavenlee

"Mom calm down, We'll see, sorry kids no training today. Mommy has a few things to tend to. We will train tomorrow unless your grandfather has time to do it." Heavenlee looks at her father. He nods his head. She walks out of the room thinking, "Who is the bastard that knows so much about me? I might not know their name, but I do know that he or she is dead as hell. My flowers haven't had any good fertilizer since Faith Hicks. They can use it."

Carlisle hands his mother the twins and walks behind Baby, thinking. “Sick mutherfuckers are coming at my Baby. Hell, they will make me shoot their asses between their eyes. Bastards”

*****

Several women and men are sitting around a large table in a large conference room. No one has said anything. They are looking at a woman and a man. The man appears to be asleep, and the woman has been texting for an hour.

"Now that all the packages have been delivered, it’s time for phase two. Where is the information that I should have had weeks ago? A young brown-haired woman yells while looking furious around the room at everyone.

"She has never been known to be patient." A dark-haired man yawns and opens his eyes, looking at the woman.

The woman rolls her eyes at the man. "I'm not impatient. I just hate slow-ass stupid people."

“Heavenlee Brady Manzo seems to have made a lot of enemies, but we managed to locate some of them.” An older man slides a folder across the table to the woman. “ The first ten names, I’m sure, will be more than happy to cooperate with us.”

The woman takes a deep breath and reads the ten names that the man suggested. She looks at the dark-haired man. “ It’s time to make some calls and set up some meetings.”

The man stands up, walks over to the woman, and massages her neck. "The sooner, the better. I’m still trying to choose which one of the b***h's friends I will kill first. Maybe I should start with her ex-lover.” The man chuckles

"There you go assuming s**t. None of the information we receive mention anything about her and Marcus ever being intimate. It only says that she was in love with him. Damn, a woman can be friends with a man and not f**k him. Oh, I forgot you wouldn’t know anything about that. Because you want to f**k every woman that you come your way. That's one of the reasons I dumped your ass. You never could keep your little pecker in your pants." She removes his hand's from her neck. "We agree that this would be business only."

He walks beside her and sits on the edge of the table facing her. "If you hadn't been asexual, I wouldn't have taken my d**k out of my pants. But no, living with you was like living with a nun. Hell, you never wanted to f**k. What did you expect? Huh? I guess you thought I would jack off and be a good little boy? You know that has never been my style."

The woman is looking around the table because everyone is looking at the two of them. “Get to work,” she points around the table and looks at the man. “You didn’t have to put our business out there like that.”

“Hell, you started it. If you can’t take it, then don’t f*****g start it. As you said, this is business. Besides, I wouldn’t waste my time trying to f**k you. I don’t have the patients to talk you through it. The sooner we finish our business with Heavenlee, the better we can go our separate ways. I can't stomach you too much." He walks out of the room. "Some damn things never change."
