Chapter One

 

Eternity paced back and forth in her room as she stared at the picture in her phone.

Bitches loved testing her when it came to her nigga Chris. Matter fact Chris loved playing in her

face too. She looked around her lavish room decorated in so many designers, she couldn’t keep

count.

Since she was younger her grandmother told her she was different and everybody wasn’t

for her and she wasn’t for everybody. Most people clung to her because she came from old

 

money that turned into new money. Her parents were killed when she was twenty by a drunk

driver. It was New Year’s Eve when it all happened.

Money was dropped in an account for her and wasn’t supposed to be touched until she

turned twenty-five. She was about to turn twenty-five in a few days. Right now none of that shit

mattered. It was time to let Chris know she wasn’t that bitch to play with.

Eternity knew she would be posted all over social media. At this point she really didn’t

give two fucks. She stepped out of her sleek BMW, shaking her long tresses in the whipping

wind. She knew she was a beautiful woman with dangerous curves that could bring a grown man

to his knees. Eternity was about to bring Chris to his knees and wasn’t because of her curves.

She went to her trunk and pulled the bat she kept there out. Narrowing her eyes she

searched the parking lot to find Chris’ truck. He wanted to be out here on some real hoe-shit by

letting his bop ass bitch record and send it to her. It was cool because she had something for both

their asses.

Eternity licked her lips as her heels crunched on the gravel beneath her. Snow was soon

to be on the horizon. As soon as she came face to face with Chris’ tricked out truck she swung

the bat, shattering the back window. Oh she didn’t stop there. Every window had to go. She

didn’t give a fuck. This bitch ass nigga loved to play. He forgot when it was her time to play she

didn’t play fair. All you could hear was the glass shattering as she knocked each window out. His

alarm had come on now and of course somebody went to get his goofy ass.

“Yoooo! Eternity what the fuck are you doing?!” he charged towards her.

 

“Nigga if you come any closer I’m gon’ crack ya’ shit the same way I did this truck! You

think it’s cool to be out here fucking on me and fucking on that manly beast behind you? She

must eat ya’ ass or some shit ‘cause I don’t get it.”

“Bitch you could never be me,” the girl yelled.

Eternity tapped her chin in thought. “You know dark wing duck I could never be you

because you are this hoe-ass niggas puppet and doormat. I’m neither.”

“Baby we c—“

“Chris please, I am not shit to you and you are not shit to me. You constantly play in my

face with bitches that could be fuckin’ linebackers. This was the last straw with your service

animal sending me y’all fucking like rabid animals. So fuck y’all low ball bitches.”

She stuck her middle finger up and dropped the bat. As she walked past the two the last

thing she thought would have happened did. Chris roughly grabbed her. It was flight or fight.

When the adrenaline kicked in Eternity started throwing haymakers. She may have been on the

bougie side, but she knew how to fight. Her face was pretty and her body was tea, but wasn’t shit

weak about her.

When the cameras came out she knew her grandmother was going to tear her new

asshole. She was going to cross that bridge when she got to it. Finally someone came and broke

the shit up. Her chest was heaving up and down. She was too damn pretty to be out here behind a

bum ass nigga and his billy goat.

In a matter of minutes the video of the debacle was all over the blogs. What made it worst

Chris decided to press charges for the damages to his truck. Her grandmother came into the

precinct looking like money. She was seventy-years-old. Eleanor didn’t look a day over fifty.

“Banks!” the officer yelled.

 

The officer came and unlocked her holding cell. Eternity wasn’t scared of much, but

Eleanor was a different breed. As soon as Eternity came around the corner her heart sank. The

tight look on her grandmother’s beautiful face had her shook to the core.

“Gran—“

“Eternity not right now. Let’s go. We will discuss this further at the mansion.”

Eleanor’s head was held high as she walked out in the fierce black pantsuit. Her hair was

pulled back in an elegant bun at the nape of her neck. Her diamonds shined brightly. The driver

opened the door to the white Rolls Royce. She stepped inside with Eternity following.

“Since this ungodly fiasco the stakes of your inheritance have changed. Therefore first

thing in the morning you will be going to Remington Ranch for the holidays. In the time that you

are there you are to cook meals for the ranch hands as well as fall in love by Christmas in order

to receive your inheritance. Falling in love is the most important stipulation of getting your

inheritance. If you do fall in love the money will be there promptly.

Eternity sat there blinking stupidly. There was no way she was serious. When her

grandmother turned to her with a stoic look on her face she knew she was serious as a heart

attack. She knew she had fucked up, but she didn’t think it would result into something as drastic

as this.

“Grand—“

“Eternity there was no reason for you to be out here on silly shit embarrassing yourself or

this family’s name. That bastard or his common whore wasn’t worth your time or energy. You

are a Banks and you deserve better. Conducting yourself with pride and dignity is a must. Never

tilt your crown for a man who was never a king to begin with. We will discuss things more once

at the mansion.
