"Who the fuck killed Leah?" Kyree asked.

"Crown." Chosyn smiled.

"Pay up!" Kyree laughed and held her hand out toward her sister.

Narrowing my gaze, I stared at the twins in disappointment. "Y'all bet on her death?"

"Yup! Kysre had her money on Chosyn."

"My girl," Chosyn smiled, locking B's with Kysre.

"Are y'all fucking serious right now? My life is literally turning to shit, and y'all two are beating on who kills Leah first, while this one is plotting on Honey like she isn't your fucking friend," I snapped. Chosyn got the brunt of my anger because she knew no fucking bounds. I understood why she wanted Leah gone, but Honey?

"I'm not plotting on Honey. I'm just asking the tough questions."

"Honey, isn't Leah. She would never?—"

"I'm not one to be in a woman's business, but hear me out," Rize interjected. "Honey's been fucking with Lynx 'bout as long as y'all been fucking with Wolfe and Crown. That's a long ass time to be dealing with a nigga and not know what he's into."

"Okay, but none of you knew what Lynx was up to, and he'd been around y'all for years," I countered.

"True, but it's different. Men let their guard down with women. They slip up and want to be vulnerable and shit."

"He has a point," Kysre agreed.

"I'm not saying Honey is guilty, but her rushing out on youafteryou told her about Rakim and Leah is suspicious," Chosyn added.

"I'll call her." Pulling my phone out, I dialed her number and put the phone on speaker.

"Is everything okay, River?" Honey asked, sounding normal.

"Uh yeah, I'm good. Why?"

"Because of everything you have going on with Crown."

"Oh yeah. I'm fine. I called to find out where you were. Gigi is having a family dinner."

"I'm out of town doing a job."

"Give me the phone," Chosyn scoffed and snatched the phone. "Honey, this is Chosyn."

"I know your voice, Chosyn." Honey laughed.

"Good. I wanna know if you knew Lynx was working with Rakim, who was trying to kill Crown?"

"Chosyn!" I scolded.

"We need to know!"

"I didn't know he wanted to kill Crown. River told me what happened, and when she mentioned Rakim, I kind of pieced ittogether that her Rakim was the same Rakim Lynx had been meeting with."

"And you didn't say anything?" I spat.

"No, because I planned on handling it. River, you know what I do and?—"

"Honey, don't come back," I warned.

"What?"
