Kindle Notes & Highlights
We heard sniffles and turned to see Capri wiping away her tears. “I’m sorry… I just want love like this one day.” “Capri, I’m sor—” “Nope. You’re not about to worry about me and my situation today. It’s about you, and we need to leave to the spa. Your husband to be arranged for a pregnancy massage before hair and makeup.”
“I wished Ryai was here. She would have loved it here… and had me hype.” I could always count on Rye to always get me hype and to hype any moment up. She would have had me laughing and crying at the same time because she was so silly. I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t miss her.
His cousin’s cook didn’t show up, and Jean didn’t mind rolling up her sleeves and helping in the kitchen. Before I knew it, both Jean and Jo were in the kitchen cooking and laughing like old friends. I enjoyed seeing my aunt laugh and have someone to laugh with. After losing my mom, she probably felt like she lost the only friend she had in the world.
“What’s wrong?” Capri came into the room and kneeled down beside Jo. “Is everything alright with the baby?” “Yes. She’s just missing her cousin.” Jo smiled at Capri and pushed a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. Capri rubbed the back of my hands. “I’m sorry. I know I can’t measure up to your cousin, but I promise to make tonight everything that you want it to be. If you need help peeing, I can help too.”
LMAOOO capri is everything and it’s crazy how ella and tasha had done her wrong because she’s literally a sweetheart! ryai ain’t right for this.
“You should go out there to get your seat.” I tried to usher him out the room so I could have a minute to have a breath alone. “Daddy isn’t here to walk you down the aisle. I don’t remember much about him, E, but I know that he would have been here to walk you down this aisle if he could. I want to step in his place and walk you down the aisle and give you away.”
He may have not felt as deeply as I did because he didn’t have as many years as I had with them. I wished God had a magic wand and could bring them to me just for this day. I was going to marry my dream man, and they never got to meet him. “I know… I love you, E. I’m here, and if you will have me, I would like to give you away.” He kissed my cheek.
He hadn’t turned around to see me because he was talking to the officiant. CJ tugged on his father’s shirt and pointed over toward me. Time stopped in place for a bit as we both stared at each other. His voice was stuck in his throat as he locked eyes with me. He took the napkin from the officiant. “Is he crying?” Jaiden whispered.
Erin, I’ve loved you before I even met you. I remember praying for a wife… not just a woman. A wife, someone that could complete me. You’ve accepted all parts of me, even the hard ones. You love my son like your own, and the way you’ve taken my sister under your wing and love on her told me that you were the one.
“Bend that ass over for me real quick.” “I just got out the shower and we need to be leaving in a little while.” I waved him off and went to grab some panties and a bra out of my drawer. “Ella, I need some before we go.” He said in a stern voice. “You going to give it to me or am I going to get it from somewhere else.”
Capone used the friendship card to get every part of me, and I willingly gave it to him because I believed he was my forever. In reality, he didn’t want me the way I wanted him. He found Erin and she became his everything. I was discarded like trash.
“Yo, Ella, don’t make me punch your head off your fucking shoulders,” Capone hissed before the phone hung up. His voice game me chills, so I was sure it did the same for Dante, because even he looked scared before he fixed his face. “Do he know who the fuck he dealing with? The fuck he think this is… threatening my girl.”
Was any of it real, or was he just playing me from the minute he got out of prison? It was hard to think any of what we had was real, but there was a small piece of me that knew it was. I knew Naheim’s heart, and I knew that he really loved me. He just didn’t love me enough to not cheat on me.
Tasha took joy in knowing that Ella stopped fucking with me. She enjoyed seeing my text messages in our group chat begging them to talk to me. He went and did something that wasn’t forgivable, and for that he had to lay down and accept that we were done, and he ruined his marriage. Once a good girl has gone bad, she gonna fuck up a bag and buy her a new whip and condo, or whatever Jay-Z said.
“Pop out with me tonight…I’m going to Staten Island.” “Yeah. The last time I popped out with you, I had to pop a nigga,” I reminded his ass of our last time we went out. “And I ended the nigga.” His eyes went cold as he stared at me. “I’ll do whatever to protect you, Shorty. Ending a nigga is nothing… feel me?”
After a night like tonight, I didn’t want to be alone. I wanted to be in Kincaid’s arms.
“Good morning,” Tasha came downstairs. It was after four, and she was talking about good morning. Tasha’s ass was lazy as shit, and now that she was pregnant it was ten times worse. She doesn’t do shit besides eat and be on her damn phone all the time.
I’ve known Tasha long enough to know that she found some money. She purposely thought I was about to keep her with money. Shit, me helping her was enough payment as is. When she needed me and a roof over her head, she wasn’t so slick out the mouth as she was being in this moment. I could tell that she had some money. You could smell it on her ass like a dog could smell steak.
The shit sounded unreal. I, Capone Delgato, had a fucking wife. My other half. My rib. My forever…
“This isn’t going to bring Joie back, Babe. It may not even make you feel better. It will be something that you can’t take back, no matter how much you try to.” “He raped, Joie,” he revealed, causing even me to lean up.
i still can’t get over that revelation like how disgusting and heartless you gotta be to do something like that
Trilla had something to prove, and he wanted me to know that he could get my loved ones whenever he wanted and didn’t care where. I could appreciate that he had grown some and wasn’t so scary anymore when it came to causing a commotion. The only problem is that he did that shit with me, and he should have known that not even money would get a reaction from me. Fucking with my family, that was sure to show you how fucking crazy I could be.
From experience, I knew that Trilla shared the truck with legit businesses. I felt sorry for them, but I needed this bitch burned to the ground right here in the middle of this street. When he turned on the news, I wanted his ass to see what the fuck happened. I wanted him to fucking fume when he thought about what I did. “Burn this bitch.”
come. At my last scan, the specialist we were seeing told me everything was developing well with her. I had been having a healthy pregnancy so far, and I didn’t have any morning sickness. Certain foods made me sick, but other than that I had been blessed with an easy pregnancy.
Capone was already the perfect father, so I knew he would take on the role as girl dad perfectly. It made me a little sad that he wasn’t able to be a girl dad to Naomi because she passed away. I often felt guilty for carrying his daughter. I couldn’t imagine how Ella felt knowing that we were having a baby together, and it was a little girl.
