Chapter 38

Troy

We were on our way back over to Amina and Jayden’s house. I had forgotten my purse with the keys to the new house that Mark and I were staying in, so we had to drive all the way back to come in get it. The minute we pulled up on the block, I noticed someone creeping over to Mimi’s house. At first, I was going to jump out and get them, but I made Mark park down the street, and I got out.

When I crept around, I noticed Jayden’s baby mama walking toward her car. Silently, I made my way over there. Instead of the crazy bitch pulling off, she just sat there, watching the house. I spotted Jayden as he opened the door. He looked at it, stooped down, picked something up, and then he walked back inside.

“Yeah, nigga, I know what the fuck y’all did, and I’m going to make your life a living hell,” she said as she went to start the car.

“No, you’re not, bitch,” I said, pulling the blade out of my bra.

“What the fuck?” she began to say, but she stopped once I placed the blade to her throat and dragged it, cutting her from one ear to the other.

“You should’ve minded ya business,” I said before I left.

“Come on, ma, I got the purse. We got to go,” Mark said, scaring the shit out of me.

“All right,” I said as I followed him back to the car. Once we got in, he pulled off. I pulled my phone out and sent Mimi a text. She texted me back within a minute. I smiled, placed my phone back into my purse, and sat back.

“Are you okay over there?” Mark asked me.

“Yeah, I’m fine, baby. I’m just fine,” I said, placing my hand over his. I reached over and kissed him. It was in that moment I vowed to myself that I was not about to let Weedy or nobody else come in and fuck our life up. We’d come too far, and this peace and happiness was what we all needed. I wasn’t going to let anyone fuck that shit up!
