had his mind going a mile a minute. Scar’s conscience was weighing heavily on him. How could he be so foul, so fucked up toward his own flesh and blood over a bitch? Scar wished he could take it back. He was immediately sorry when his brother rushed in on him and Tiphani, but it was too late then. He knew no apology could erase the image of him screwing Tiphani from his brother’s mind.
    Scar had never even experienced remorse in his life. He had murdered people, assaulted women, had niggahs tortured, and never lost a wink of sleep. But he actually, for the first time, felt real fucked up inside about how he had hurt his brother. Not only was Derek his brother, but Derek had come back for him, had searched for him for all those years, something that Scar couldn’t say he had done. Derek also kept the law off of him for all these years. Now he wasn’t so sure his brother was going to play that game. Scar needed to fix this situation fast. If not, he wouldn’t just lose a brother, he could lose his whole empire.
    The first time he had slept with Tiphani, it was supposed to be a one-time thing. Derek had been so excited to introduce them; his baby brother and the love of his life is how Derek had characterized them. Scar had told Derek he didn’t want to meet his wife because he knew she was a prosecutor and he didn’t want any parts of her. Derek convinced Scar that she would be cool, and insisted they meet. He wouldn’t take no for an answer. Derek wanted his baby brother to know the love of his life, especially since they had been reunited and promised never to be separated again. That promise was all a memory now. A woman had shattered the brothers’ vow.
    As Scar thought back, he decided it was all Tiphani’s fault. That bitch! She had come on to him after only meeting him twice. She had cried to him about Derek’s sexual problems. At first, Scar thought it was amusing, his big brother not being able to hold it down in the bedroom; but then he realized Tiphani wanted him to take care of her in a way Derek couldn’t. She was like a fiend…some kind of nympho. Scar fell into her trap, and he had to admit that her beautiful face and body had not been easy to turn away. On top of that, her pussy shot was intoxicating. The best he’d ever had.
    â€œEverybody get the fuck outta my office!” Scar barked, sending his little flunkies scrambling to get out of his way. They all fled his office in a hurry without looking back. They had noticed that his mood had been very dark for the past two days, and usually that meant somebody’s head would roll.
    Scar didn’t really want to be alone, but he couldn’t risk his workers catching on to his pity party. He also didn’t want them to hear him leave yet another message on Derek’s voice mail, begging for a call back. His mind was swarming with thoughts, especially thoughts of how he was going to fix shit between him and his brother before shit got out of hand.
    Scar picked up his cell and dialed his brother’s number again. “Yo, D, man, I’m fuckin’ sick over this shit, man. I was dead-ass wrong, man. Blood is thicker than water, man. You can’t pick her over me. We need to talk. There is too much shit at stake…for both of us. Call me, man,” Scar said in a gruff voice, trying not to sound too much like he was begging, but also letting his brother know he was sorry for what he’d done.
    Scar disconnected the call and continued pacing the floor. Finally his phone rang. His heart jumped. He looked at the screen and slouched his shoulders in disappointment—it wasn’t his brother. Scar didn’t recognize the number.
    â€œYo,” he said into the receiver, trying to mask his disappointment.
    â€œWatch ya back, niggah. There’s a bounty on ya ugly-ass head,” a deep voice said into the receiver.
    He didn’t recognize the voice. “Fuck you, pussy!
