Prologue: Tamar
Dear Tamar,
Wow it has been a long time since we have spoken and all I can do is say how bad I miss you. Even if the times we spent together were short lived they were the best times of my life. I find myself thinking of you every time I'm with my husband.
Often times when I'm having sex with him it's you that I am thinking of. I know that you told me to not contact you anymore because you were going to do right by your wife but I can't help myself. I'm in love with you Tae, and I don't mind playing the background to your wife as long as you continue to see me.
Baby I need you so bad. The way you touch me when we're together sends volts of electricity through my body; a feeling I've never felt before. Tae, I really need to see you and talk to you, please contact me with your new number. Don't leave me out here wanting you like this. I've tried my h
ardest to respect your wishes and not come by your house but it's been so hard for me.
If you truly, truly feel in your heart that you can do without me then I will accept that and try my best to move on. But before I do there is something that you must know. The day of your friends wake I was there Tae. I know that you asked me not to come around anymore but I just had to be there to see you and ensure that you were doing okay. After hearing you speak about your friend and seeing the love you were showing to your wife I became so emotional. I ended up in the ladies room in a restroom stall crying because I just couldn't take seeing you the way you were and most of all seeing you with her. I feel in so many ways she is not right for you and don't know how to love you like a real woman should.
It's so crazy because just as I was able to pull myself together and leave the stall, Rozalyn came through the door crying very emotional tears as well. I don't know what I was thinking but I just climbed onto the toilet and just listened to her cry. Honestly I don't know what I thought I would hear or find out but I just sat there and waited. Waited to see if maybe she could give me some information that would destroy your relationship with her. Please don't think that I do not want to see you happy but I just know she isn't the one for you and I couldn't have been more than right.
After getting into a blowout with her little home girls, some dude came into the restroom. At first I believed it to be you until I heard him speak. They had a few words and then suddenly I heard moaning, Tae. They were having sex; through the cracks of the stall I could see them passionately involved with each other like it wasn't their first time. And after it was all over she started accusing this guy of rape and screaming for help. I'm not sure who this guy was but only could see that he was light skinned and about six feet tall.
I wanted to come out of that stall and scream that she was lying about what happened but it was not the time or the place. I'm sorry that I am even coming to you like this but I felt in my heart that you needed to know. I hope to hear from you as soon as possible. Take care.
Love,
Kari
After losing my two best friends, escaping some serious jail time, and getting out the dope game alive and wealthy; I've learned to appreciate life and those that I have around me. Having my son Tamarion in my life, a son that I thought I almost lost and my other two sons Zavier and Zyir has made me rethink my entire life.
Cheating and beating on their mom is something that I truly regret and have been feeling fucked up over for a long time. I grew up watching my pops do the same shit to my moms and I hated him for it. That is exactly what I didn’t want from my sons; for them to hate me. I wanted them to respect me as a man, as their father, their provider, and as the man that loved their moms.
Vacationing in Puerto Rico made me more than certain that I loved my wife Rozalyn, she is everything to me. Over these last few months all I could think about was righting my wrongs with her. Forgetting about all the bullshit we've been through, the mistakes we've both made and move on. All I want to do is care for Rozalyn, grow old with her, and build a strong foundation with her; something that my parents never had.
Arriving back in Miami I was so fucking ready to get back to a brand new life with my family. Now, as soon as I open my mail I come home to this bullshit letter informing me that the foundation I was trying to build was worthless. My fuckin' wife was a worthless piece of shit. For her to lie to me and say that Brandon raped her at Keylan's wake was an all time low. To willingly fuck Brandon in the restroom at a wake was disrespectful as hell and I couldn't just let it go.
Tae, somebody is at the gate trying to get in,” Rozalyn said.
I heard her speaking but all I could think of was if I should do what I was thinking of doing. If I let her get away with this shit, how could I be sure she wouldn't do it again? No, fuck all that. How can I even look at her the same after the bullshit she did?
"Tamar, Danesha is at the gate!” She yelled. “Tamar!"
I looked down at the letter once more hoping that the words I read would change and somehow I would read something different than before.
“Rozalyn, I’ve gotten my life together and I wanna take my baby girl home,” Danesha said sympathetically over the intercom.
She released the button on the speaker, turned around, and stood face to face with me. Before any words could fly from her mouth I grabbed her by the throat and began to snatch her useless ass life away.
“You wanna tell me what the fuck really went on in that restroom the day of Keylan’s wake?” I asked gripping her neck tighter and tighter.
Her skin became flushed as all the color began to leave her. Her eyes pleaded with me to let her go but I just couldn't. She has played me too many times and this was going to be the last time.
BLAM!
My knees went limp causing me to lose my grip around Rozalyn's neck and fall over. Her body collapsed to the floor while she frantically let out long, dry, heaving noises.
"I dare you to put your damn hands on me! You just like your no good daddy! Have you lost your damn mind Tae?" my moms asked as she stood over me with only the cord in her hand from the broken lamp she'd hit me with.
"Mommy!" my son Tamarion yelled as he ran into the room to his mama's side.
"You fuckin' lucky right now she came when she did! I want you to pack your shit up and get the fuck outta my house you dumb bitch!" I bellowed at Rozalyn.
"What? What are you talking about? She isn't going anywhere," my moms said.
"Look mama stay out of this! Unless you want this bitch dead I suggest you help her pack her shit! I want her outta of here by the time I come back, and leave my fuckin' kids here bitch!"
Hurriedly I left out of the room, down the stairs and out of the house. The headlights from a car could be seen down the long driveway and suddenly I remembered that Diamond's bitch ass was trying to get in. I hopped in my truck, cranked it, and sped down the driveway. Somebody was gonna get murdered tonight and if it wasn't going to be Rozalyn then Diamond would be a good replacement.
EERCCHHHH!
Jumping out of my truck, I walked over to the security booth and punched the code into the gate. I leaned up against the door and waited for Diamond to drive in. She was a fool if she thought that my heart was forgiving like her sister's was. Soon as the tail end of Diamond's car pulled in, I pressed the button to securely close the gate back then stepped out of the booth. My car was keeping her from going too far. She rolled her passenger side window down and lowered her head so that she could make eye contact with me.
"Hey Tae, did Roz tell you why I..." she started to say but the two bullets I sent into her skull quickly shut her up. All this time this bitch hadn't been thinking about her baby and now all of a sudden she wants to pop up talking about she got her life together and wants her back. I pulled out my cell and dialed my brother Taron's number. Now that I no longer had Keylan or Brandon, Taron was the only somebody I could call on right now. I asked Taron to meet me in thirty minutes at the club we owned downtown. I walked back to the security gate pushing the button to open the gate back up then ran over to Diamond's car. I pushed her body to the side then took her place in the seat before peeling out of the gate before it closed. I was well aware that everything I'd just done was caught on my security system but I didn't care. My moms knew what kind of man I grew up to be and Rozalyn damn well knew what kind of man she married. Her ass just better be lucky it wasn't her that died tonight.
1: Rozalyn
1 year later….
"Mrs. Andrews, I want to commend you on your progress thus far. I see that you've been maintaining a successful business for the past four months and just recently purchased a home. I also see that you're attending school. This is a whole lot better from eight months ago," the judge said never taking his stare away from me.
I sat behind the defendants table, fidgeting like crazy. I'd worked so hard over the past year to get where I am today.
I smiled on the inside as satisfaction c
rossed over me. I was finally doing something that made me happy, made me proud, and others proud of me as well. Two months ago, I moved out of my brother Kevin's house and into my own; yes, my shit. Tamar and I are no longer together and for the first time ever; I didn't give a fuck.
Yea, I was a fucking fool behind that muthafucka. He'd had so much mind control over my ass that I never realized how poisonous our relationship was. Not only was it poisonous but violent and crazy as hell. It took him damn near choking me to death and killing my sister in the drive-way of our home for me to realize he wasn't for me.
I've suffered some since leaving Tamar, for one, my lifestyle is nowhere near as lavish as it was when I was with him. Two, I've been going through a custody battle with him ever since the day we split. He currently has custody of the boys and I have no parental rights at all. The court declared that I wasn't fit to be a mother to them due to me not having an education, a job, and two suicide attempts on record.
All I could say is that money talks and he definitely paid for that shit to happen. They did so much looking into my background that they didn't care to even flip a page in his.
The last straw that broke the camel's back was when the state came and took my niece Shanya away from me. After they found out I lost custody of the boys; it was a wrap for me. I'd completely lost my whole family and honestly that shit hurt like hell but I didn't let it destroy me.
