Zoya hugged Vivian on the porch. “It’s lovely to meet you. My sister has told me so much over the phone.”
V: you too. Ah, Yes. Your twin. She’s very intense. She’d make a great queen. But our home is your home. I can’t wait for you to come. See you soon.
#TheBaldwins
Zoya: We’d be delighted to attend. I’ve heard we have royalty in our family.
Daisy: I cant wait to see real royalty up close.
Vivian: Awesome. I can’t wait to see you all there and spend more time with you.
Zoya: I’ll walk you out.
#TheBaldwins
Vivian took it upon herself to meet and invite the rest of #TheBaldwins to her Ball. “I’m so sorry for my sudden arrival. I’m throwing a Ball and I’d love it if you all would attend and see your other side of the family.” She said as if it was practiced.
Back home, Zara sat and ate. She was a Queen growing in power, and her family was only getting bigger.
#TheBaldwins
Zara was escorted downstairs where the rest of the family was. She greeted them and they accepted her with warm welcome arms. They were about to take over the world. Victoria in business. Cherish in politics. Daisy in entertainment. Marjor in crime…
#TheBaldwins
Z: We were connected before we knew we were. We stand together. Family.
A: I guess it would only be right. You’ve been… discreet with your occupation. No arrests. Just assumptions.
Z: What do you say?
A: Okay. For the sake of family. But we will not get involved.
#TheBaldwins
Z: We were connected before we knew we were. We stand together. Family.
A: I guess it would only be right. You’ve been… discreet with your occupation. No arrests. Just assumptions.
Z: What do you say?
A: Okay. For the sake of family. But we will not get involved.
#TheBaldwins
A: What’s on your mind?
Z: I have powerful connections and pull in SimNation. You have powerful connections and pull here in Ondarion. We are family. Let’s align ourselves.
A: Your crime organization goes against everything I believe in.
Z: And your daughter?
#TheBaldwins
Adekoya: You must be Zara. A pleasure to meet a side of my late wife’s family.
Z: I’m sorry about your loss. I wish I knew I had family on this side. My grandmother never talked about family before us.
A: Well, I’m glad you have your answers.
Z: Well not all…
#TheBaldwins
Zara did some snooping before following upstairs and found their secret passage and linked it to hers. She walked upstairs to see the rest of the home when she came
Across a man painting… “That’s beautiful. My son’s a painter also.”
#TheBaldwins
V: My half sister resented the idea of finding you all, my mother’s side of the family. So she decided to move out. No worries. That wasn’t going to stop me from finding family.
Z: Make sure you make up. Nothing is stronger than family bond.
V: I admire that. Come.
#TheBaldwins
Z: Asked and answered. I’m Zara, her mother. A pleasure to meet you. This is my husband Deangelo.
D: A pleasure.
V: indeed. I’m happy you came. We can get to know each other better. In the midst of family drama,
Z: Family drama?
#TheBaldwins
V: Because, when my PI did research, she checked the local schools first and found the last three Baldwin’s. We didn’t want to disrupt their lives so we waited. Victoria was smart, kind, and doesn’t have a criminal record. I’m Vivian. Sorry for not finding you first
#TheBaldwins
Z: I just want to meet them and find out why now. Why reach out to Victoria out of all of us.
D: Maybe because of our lifestyle. Not fit for royalty?
Z: But why our daughter? If any of us, Zoya and her family would be the ideal candidates. That’s why question.
#TheBaldwins
They were let in and told to wait in the entry way while the royal family was notified of their guests. “This is stunning.” Zara complimented.
D: It is beautiful. Filled with culture. What’s the plan?
#TheBaldwins
Zara and De’Angelo made it to Dambele. They took the world in for a moment before admiring the palace. “Do this is your family.” He commented.
Z: Apparently. Let’s go see what they are about.
#TheBaldwins
While Major trained and mended his ego, Zara took some medicine and vitamins before making up her face and changing into more fit for a royal meeting.
#TheBaldwins
Their wooden swords clacked against each other as they swung. Cara challenging him and baiting him into her trap. “You only won cuz you mom.” Major said.
Zara: Yeah. Go practice more. I need to get cleaned up. I have a meeting with… family.
#TheBaldwins
Back at home, Major and Zara trained together. Sick or not, Zara didn’t let up. “You need to be ready for anything. Don’t be afraid or cocky. You have to have a level head in the fight.” She explained. Then they started.
#TheBaldwins
Lyric did as she was told. She got dressed and kissed him goodbye before he walked out of the house and hit the streets before going home.
#TheBaldwins
M: Good girl. Now get dressed and go find something to do.
Lyric could see who she got in bed with. She saw the anger. The pain. The control of his family name. “He don’t want me to work… fine. Baldwin money will be more than enough.” She thought to herself.
#TheBaldwins
M: Look, I got a lot goin on. I don’t need nothin serious.
Lyric: You get angry when I’m with another dude. You want me to stop dancing but you don’t want nothing serious? You gotta pick boo.
M: You’re mine. You do what the fuck I say do. Now kiss me.
#TheBaldwins
Major spent something time with his new thing, Lyric, a dancer from the club he frequented since Lette ran off with his daughter. “So you gon just leave like that?” She asked.
M: You know what this is.
L: So I can’t be with anyone else but I can’t call you mine?
#TheBaldwins
Dro carried Christine to the bed and pulled the cover over them while their hands and lips explored each other before other things found their way… in…
#TheBaldwins
Back at home, Christine went into their gym to let off some after work stress when Dro came in and joined her in some weights. “You know… we can let off something stress in other ways.”
Christine: Well, what are you waiting for? Get that sexy sweaty ass over here.
#TheBaldwins
Dro collected Journey and went back him to give her her nap. “Be good for moon Victoria little man.”
Landon: Yes sir.
V: He always is. See you next week. Thanksgiving dinner.
D: We will be here.
#TheBaldwins
V: He is spiraling out of control since Lette took that baby and he had a son with Aurora.
D: He is. But he’s gonna be taking over the organization so no one can tell him anything. I gotta run. But we will talk. Love you.
V: Love you.
D: Come on Journeybug.
#TheBaldwins
Victoria and Dro sat and talked in the living room, catching up, and joking, and gossiping, spilling at the family tea. “You heard, about Major’s nee boo?”
V: Yeah. I heard. Stripper turned fucking trap queen. You met her?
D: Nah. He don’t bring her around.
#TheBaldwins
Victoria hugged Journey before she was kicked. “Journey stop!” Dro snapped. “Sorry. She’s going through a phase.”
V: It’s fine. She’s a kid. Like you were.
Journey walked over to Landon and started babbling together. Hopefully she won’t be aggressive toward him.
#TheBaldwins
It was a street or two away but Journey enjoyed seeing everything the city had to offer. They buzzed up and met Victoria. “Oh my god. Hi! Hi there Journey!” She greeted. “How are you?”
D: I’m good. Princess v. Haha.
V: Stop haha. I’m not. We are royalty. Come in.
