Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I may be warming to the Ellises, and my baby may be one, but I’ll never concede to the Ellis way. Keep her away from my child, me, and your private parts.”
“Okay. So, what more are you asking?” “For your soul.”
“The concept of having your soul in my possession isn’t sacrilegious, Nalib. You own me: mind, body, and soul.”
“Watch out for her. I never liked the way she rolled witchu, but that bitch look scorned just now. And scorned bitches burn everybody around them. Don’t be surprised if she flip on you. Sometimes, death bring the fuckin’ demons outta people.
Hello!!
“Hate to break it to you, but your pussy’s a long way from Kansas, Dorothy.”
😭😭😭
I leaned forward closer to him and grated, “First of all, never call me sweetheart again. It’s a goddamn term of endearment you and your twin son use too loosely.” My nostrils widened against his glare of fury. “Secondly, you may be the head, but I’m the neck that will turn his attention from your delusions of grandeur so fast you’ll be needing that oxygen tank you were hooked up to for life!”
Gahhhhhh
“You’ve discovered my weakness, Nalib?” He scowled. I nodded, struggling to hide my mirth. “I have the power, Sadik.” The confidence in those words gave me a new sense of strength. Slowly, he nodded. Sadik grabbed my thigh, a piece closest to my sex with such authority. “That you do. Be careful how you execute it. I’m an Ellis; abuse of power won’t be tolerated.” “Only if your authority acts in favor of my heart.”
The Ellis name has been tried and proven. I’m not the ‘crazy nigga’ you saw coming. I’m the persistent, calculating monster you’ll meet at the end of your patience. When I’m called, it’s personal and permanent.”
😍😍😍😍
Did you think wearing my clothes would attract him to your dingy ass? You think it’s that simple?” I snorted. “You were wrong. I’m his dirty habit, nasty addiction, and his inspiration. What the hell is he going to do with you after having me?”
🔥🔥🔥🔥
He may have been imperfect, but he’d always been clear. On me.
David needs to learn the chain of command.” “And what does that mean?” “That my wife is the boss of me, but not him. And if he’s going to be friends with you, he needs to know how unreasonable of a husband I am.”
Nuts 😭
“You’ve been my Black love story. You friended me when I rejected you, made love to my doubts of this…thing existing, and you protected me even when I didn’t give you my best.”
