Sandra Prov.

I met Roman when we were nine. He had just moved to Georgia & my mom was Mrs. Ross's maid/caretaker. We instantly clicked & became the best of friends. We would spend everyday together. On their 50 acres of land, we had plenty room to run & explore. I witnessed the beatings he endured. I intervened once & got my tail beat too. My mom almost lost her job & our home because of my love for Roman.

If you would've asked me 40 years ago, would Roman ever betray me. I could've bet my life on his loyalty, but things changes & apparently so do ppl. I started falling for him when we were fifteen. Thats the year, we found his grandfather raping my mother in the old guest house. Mr. Ross had my mother's dressed hiked up & his hands around her throat humping away when we walked in. After i seen that, I had a flashback of him molesting me & i lost it. I hit him over the head with an iron rod, & killed him. Roman took the wrap & got 10 years in prison. History always repeats itself.

"So are you sure?" I spoke low because I know Roman had elephant ears. I walked towards my walk in closet which is connected to Royal's. "Do you have proof?," i asked uncertain as I picked out Royal's & my attire for today. I chose some dark blue high waisted jeans with rhinestone down the sides, a cheetah print crop top with bossy in red letters & a pair of black Louboutin heels for me. "Take the proof to the police station & leave it on Detective Monroe's desk. Your money will be in your account shortly" I spoke quickly & hung up. Checkmate. I picked out some cheetah print joggers & a red shirt with diva across it in black letters with some cute black & gold sandals for Royal. I planned on taking her to the nail salon to get our bi weekly mani/pedi today.

I always made sure Royal & I were dressed to perfection & coordinated. In my eyes, she is my daughter & it's going to stay that way! I transferred the rest of DeShawn's money to his account. Afterwards, he texted & said it was done. Checkmate. Remy wins. The game is chest, not checkers bitch.

"ROYAL! Wake up, baby." I yelled as i walked into her room & she rubbed her beautiful hazel eyes sleepily. God, she is beautiful. "Come on baby. It's time to get dressed we have a big day." She got up & walked towards her bathroom. I watched her as she washed her face & brush her teeth. "Mommy?" I heard her say so innocently. "Yes, Royal?" "What we getting up so early fa?" "Royal, what have I told you about speaking that way? But its mommy & me day remember" I spoke sternly. Instantly she perked up. "Your clothes are on the island in our closet. Make sure to clean your ears & between your toes while you are bathing. When you dressed meet me in my room & I'll pick out our jewelry & do your hair, okay?" "Yes ma'am", she said as she kissed me & ran back into her bathroom.

"Reeeeeemmmmmyyyy" i heard Roman yell. I walked upstairs to my bedroom & he was on the phone in a deep conversation. I already knew what followed though. "What, Roman!", i barked. I was still upset about the fact he had fucked Sandra & hasn't touched me in 7 years. He ended his conversation & looked to me with tears in his eyes. I instantly started to soften up, "Baby, whats wrong?" "I have to go pick RJ up from prison. He is scheduled to be released in the next hour or so, because of new evidence. Sandra was the one who really killed Jada. She let her... our son take the fall for a murder she committed. The murder of my wife. I swear if she wasn't the mother of my son, I'd dead her," he barked. I played cool & listened to him rant & rave. "Is she in costudy?" I asked. "Yeah, she's in holding," he said with hatred in his eyes.
