Bianca ransacked Lorenzo's office, looking for the bag of money that he owned her. She breathed heavily and sweated as she knocked over cabinets and bookshelves. She screamed loudly, throwing a picture frame across the room in anger. She ran her fingers through her hair, attempting to calm herself. She had a mix of emotions.
Betrayal, anger, bitterness, revenge.
All were towards Lorenzo. She tried to suck up her tears but they fell at a fast pace. She screamed again, banging her fists against the wall repeatedly. She was so caught up her emotions that she didn't even hear Lorenzo entering the office. "What the hell are you doing here, Bianca"he yelled.
She turned around, seeing Lorenzo standing there with his hands in front of him. She wiped her eyes, sucking up her tears. "You son of a bitch"she spat. He chuckled, "Whatchu so pissed about now, huh"he said. "Where's my money nigga"she yelled.
He laughed, laughing as if he had seen the funniest thing in the world. "What's so goddamn funny"she said. "You're so naive baby girl"he said. "What the hell are you talking about"she said. He walked over to her, holding her face in his hands.
She tried to move away but he kept her still. He wiped away her tears with his thumbs, "The funny thing is, you actually think that you was gonna replace Camille"he said, running his hand over her head. She pushed him, "Woah, you strong baby girl"he teased. "How could you do this to me, you promise that I would get my money and you would get rid of Camille"she yelled. "I didn't promise shit. Plus, you know how this goes. Camille is mine, she need me. She ain't going nowhere unless I'm dead"he said, sitting at his desk.
"I did everything you asked me to. I told you when she was having that show, I told you where she would've put the money. I did all of this shit for you and you repay me like this?"she said. He shrugged, "It's just business baby"he said. "Fuck you Lorenzo"she mumbled. He sat there, laughing in her face. She started to cry more, "Fuck you Lorenzo"she yelled.
"Get the hell out of my club Bianca"he yelled. She nodded to herself, "You're gonna regret ever doing this me. You're gonna reap what you sow mothafucka"she yelled. He scoffed, "What, I'm gonna get my karma. Bitch, can't nothing touch me. Not karma and not your bitch ass"he spat. She cried silently, "Go to hell"she spat. He chuckled, "I'm already there baby"he said.
She was silent, "Now get the fuck out of my club"he said, getting up and going to the bar. She sniffed, wiping her eyes and walking out of the office.

||CAMILLE DAVIS||
I walked through the club, doing my normal rounds. I was trying to keep calm, slowly plotting how I was gonna get back at Lorenzo. I've dealt with nothing but bullshit from Lorenzo for years. There were many times where I could've packed up and left his ass behind. But no, I stayed because I needed to.
I had nothing without Lorenzo. But now I got something and ain't nothing but his ass keeping me here. I want him to hurt and the only way to do that is to drain his precious empire for everything that it has. Not just the club or his girls, his drugs. Without that, Lorenzo ain't nothing but a nigga with chains and a big ass ego.
I learned the art of being discreet and with that knowledge, I was gonna bring his dirty ass down. I was doing my normal rounds when my assistant came up to me. "Camille, there's someone in the VIP room waiting for you. He says it's urgent"she said. "Aiight, I'll be in there in a second"I said. She nodded before walking off.
I sighed, heading towards the VIP room. I walked in, seeing no one. I sighed, he always acting like he was batman or some shit. "It's just me Jay, ain't no one with me"I said, raising my hands to show that I didn't have weapons. He then walked from behind one of the curtains, putting his gun back in his waistband. "You can never be too safe"he said.
"You know I would never cross you"I said as he walked up on me. "I know, but I ain't too sure about your man"he said, towering over me with his hands in his pockets. I shrugged, "You ain't gotta worry about him"I mumbled. He stood there, emotionless. I walked closer to him, putting my hands on his shoulders.
"I miss you"I mumbled. He chuckled, "Yea right"he said, looking away from me. "Don't be like that baby"I said, holding his cheek and turning his head. He sighed, "Why you called me over here Camille, I got shit to do"he said. I chuckled, walking away from him.
I walked to the bar, pouring myself a drink. "Your a liar, Jay"I said. He scoffed, 'What makes makes you think that"he said. "I was with you for two years Jay, I know everything you do in a day. You know damn well you got your boys out on the streets handling everything. You usually don't though. You did it so you can come see me"I said, drinking from my glass. He chuckled, swiping his thumb over his nose.
"Typical Camille Davis, always reading people and shit"he said. I shrugged, putting down my drink. "There ain't no other way to be"I said. He nodded, "I miss that you know"he said. I chuckled, "Miss what?"I said.
"You ain't take no shit, you tough baby girl"he said. I shrugged, "You gotta be around here, especially with a dude like Lorenzo"I said, walking over to the couch. I sat down, crossing one leg over the other. "You know, I wonder all the time. Where we would be now if I just left Lorenzo alone"I said. He sighed, walking over to the couch.
"Maybe I wouldn't be almost thirty and still chasing after a man who don't give a shit about me"I said. "I like to think that we would have a house uptown, surrounded by a bunch of white folks"he said. I chuckled, "Married, a couple babies running around. Away from all this bullshit"he said, looking around the room. "I'm tired, Jay. Really tired"I said, looking over at him. "I wish that I would've just stuck with you"I said. I got up, walking over to him and straddling his lap.
"Maybe, I still can"I said. He chuckled, putting his hands on my hips. "What would Lorenzo say about this"he said. I shrugged, "I don't care about him no more, he ain't nothing but my babies father"I said. He nodded, "So you tryna get with a nigga"he said.
I chuckled, "Yea, I want you back"I mumbled, cupping his cheek. He pulled me close, "I really missed you Camille"he said. I smiled, "I missed you more baby"I said, running my hands down his chest. He leaned in and kissed me, making me wrap my arms around his neck. He then stood up, hiking me up on his waist. I wrapped my legs around him as he laid me down on the couch, hovering on top of me.
Everything was gonna fall into place, just right after this.

I was getting ready, preparing for a busy night. The club was packed and there was a high demand tonight. Meaning a hell of a lot of money. I needed it though. With Lorenzo taking the money and still taking money from me and Kay through our tips, I wasn't making much anymore.
But, Camille was fed up and we were too. We were all gonna get back at that son of a bitch. I really just needed a break. I was fixing my hair when Kay walked in from her dance, holding a bag of money. "How'd you do"I said.
