( 3 weeks)

Adonis sits back in his all black Bentley truck smoking and letting some soft music play while keeping his eyes on the home he had been stalking for the past few weeks. Intially he planned on coming here the night he found out about Kane and Anastassia but decided that would be too predictable he wanted Kane's death to be painful and slow. In order to get that result he had to do planning and have a lot of patience.

Adonis pulls out his phone and dials Hood's number. The day he had taken Ana away and came back to the home he wouldn't tell him where Ana was intially and the two ended up getting into a fight. Hood didn't take it personal, he knew Adonis like the back of his hand. He was unpredictable and unstable when he was upset so they fought and made up the next morning like brothers do.

"Sup?"

"How's Ana and Ayden?" Adonis mumbles into the phone.

"Fine. Just left the hotel, Ayden was sleep Ana was finishing up her dinner."

"She wanna talk to me?"

"I ain't ask that. We don't talk about you when I check on her."

"What do y'all talk about?"

"Nothing. I make sure she straight and if she needs anything she answers and I leave."

Adonis smacks his lips and sighs. He was still pissed but he was starting to miss Anastassia like he always did when he would do something crazy to her. As much as he wanted to show up at the hotel and try to make up with her his pride wouldn't let him do that.

"Find anywhere for them to stay?"

"I was letting her look at some spots she liked. She picked out two so far Angelle gone take her by there tomorrow."

"Aight. Let me know which one she picks I'll pay for it."

"Aight."

Adonis ends the call and slides the phone into his pocket. He continues to watch the home for a few more hours seeing no movement. Finally he decides to head home and prepare himself for what he was going to do to Kane. He walks into the large home he now lived in alone and sighs before pouring him a drink. He hated being alone, and since Anastassia had been gone his mental state had gotten worse and worse.  The silence that echoed throughout the home was driving him mad. He wanted his family back. But after what he had done to Anastassia and what he felt she had done to him, they couldn't be together right now.

"Well? What do you think about this one?" Angelle ask Ana who was busy looking around her potential condo.

"It's nice." She smiles. "It's not the beach home but it's nice."

"You kinda boujee. I wish my condo looked like this one. Do you see the view over looking the city? Girl..."

Ana laughs and shrugs.

"Maybe all those years being with Adonis had made me a little boujee. It's beautiful and anything is better than going back home."

"Exactly. Ima go grab the realtor and let him know you like it."

Ana nods and continues to walk through the master bedroom. The place was beautiful and it was something she could hopefully make her own without having to sleep with one eye open all the time. She was surprised Adonis was even letting her get her own place away from him. Even though the last fight they had was one of their worst the idea that maybe he was finally giving up and letting her go was giving Anastassia a warm feeling inside.

"Alright we're all set. Your husband already sent the money for deposit and six months worth of rent for you." Angelle smiles as she enters the room again.
