Ace's POV

I sit in my chair confused as I look at Mike who's sipping his wine with an unbothered expression on his face

"Why not" Shelia asks confused

"Yea Mike why not, why can't this single woman go out with this single woman" Angela asks and I immediately duck my head uncomfortably as Troy looks to Thomas who is slowly making his way out of the room undetected

"Can we just drop this please" Diane says awkwardly

"I'm so agreeing with Diane right now" Patricia says as she looks between Mike and Angela

"Let him answer" Angela says as she fuels the fire more and I shift in my seat, this dinner is turning into something bad real fast

"Marcus, get your wife" Mike says and Marcus tries to ask Angela for her drink, he really sucks Mike off so bad for no reason

I look to Sheila who looks increasingly uncomfortable but she is giving me the same worried look

"No as a matter of fact, let me get another drink so Mike can tell us why Trina can't go with Ace" Angela says and I rub my temple in annoyance

"Angela really it's no big deal" I say but Mike slams his fork on the plate in defeat

"Ok, let's do this..no no come on, talk to me" Mike says as Shelia tries to calm him down but he's not having any of it

"No let him talk, let him talk Sheila" Angela says as she eggs this on, I look to Troy who's officially left out of the room with Thomas at this point

"She's just a little drunk" Marcus says trying to explain what's going on with his wife but trust me, this ain't because she's drunk

"No you know what Marcus I may be a little drunk but somebody at this table got some damn secrets" Angela says and I lean back in my seat as everyone tries but fails to defuse this situation with Diane trying to stop things the most

"Really...no no no Diane..somebody got some secrets..what are they" Mike says in a condescending voice and I sit with a pit in my stomach as this unfolds

Please I hope to god himself that this doesn't get worse

"You know, I'm so sick if this..I'm sick of it, the reason she can't go with Ace or any other man or woman is because she's sleeping with yours, Shelia" Angela says and my eyes widen and I look to Shelia who looks shocked and hurt

"What...no" Sheila says and I look at her as I can tell she is in denial immediately

"Yea Sheila" Angela says and I look to the side and see Trina looking down guiltily causing my stomach to drop, I knew she was fuckin him but to find out is a whole other thing

I look back to Sheila and I can see the sadness creeping in as she looks at Trina

"Oh hell" Terry says and I ball my fists as I look to Mike angrily and I see Sheila doing the same

"I'll be heading out now...y'all thanks for dinner" Troy says from the living room before walking out the door with Thomas looking at me sympathetically, I give him the signal to stay and he nods before pulling Troy back in and tellin him to stay just in case

"Is it true" Shelia whispers out and I immediately lean up as I wanna go and hug her and comfort her

"Yea..yea it's true...that's my secret, I'm the bad guy..I'm not the only person..especially married person with secrets at this table" Mike starts causing my stomach to drop
