Can I Trust You? { COMPLETED }

Fresh Starts

Onika's POV

Today is the day that I've been waiting for a Fresh Start. Wait... let me not be rude. My name is Onika Tanya Minaj but you can call me Nicki or like my best friend like to call me Nika. I'm 26 years old and I currently reside in Queens, NY. I have a 2 year old daughter name Amia London Minaj who I would do anything for to see a smile on her face. Today we're finally moving to Houston Tx. I decided on this move to get away from my abusive/cheating baby father. I love myself and most importantly my daughter a little too much to allow him in our lives anymore.

I met Rihmeek in high school but I never paid him any mind when he used to try to flirt with me then. I didn't seek interest in him until after we graduated. My 21st birthday party to be exact. It's been many years of him chasing after me and I let him in. Everything was going good shit even perfect in the beginning. He was courting me. Taking me on dates, buying me flowers, bringing me lunch, paying the bills, and even taking care of my mother. Then something in him switched the day his father passed away. He started drinking and doing drug's more than usual. Him drinking and doing drugs then turned into him cheating, spending unnecessary money on strippers, alcohol, and drugs. Which then turned into us arguing about his choices and how I was no longer going to stay in a relationship with him which turned into him abusing me.

One day he was so drunk and high off his mind, he came home very late which I was already sleep. But when he comes home after being intoxicated he's always loud. He barged into the room.

" GET UP BITCH " he said .

" please meek not tonight I have work in the morning " I begged.

He comes rushing to the bed grabs the blankets and throw them off the bed.

" I don't give a fuck about no work bitch get up " as he pulls my underwear off and force himself inside of me and he's holding my wrist "

" please stop meek " ... SMACK.

All I felt was a burning sensation and wet tears on my face.

Thats all I remember from that night before blacking out. Few weeks later I just began feeling sick and tired. I had to call my best friend Lauren which I hated doing because all she asked every time we spoke on the phone " Did you leave that monster yet ? " and I didn't have enough courage to finally say yes. I told her the sick issues that I were dealing with.

" Best I've been so sick these past two weeks I don't know what's going on with me " as I lay on the bathroom floor.

" if you need me to hop on a flight to come take care of my bestie just say that boo " As she stares at the screen with a pout on her face.

I didn't even have energy to respond I've been throwing up for 2 hours straight.

" Nikapooh you might be pregnant " she took a long pause... " I'm going to Instacart some pregnancy test to your house. My break over boo I'm going to call you soon as I get off okay? I love you! ".

About 20 minutes later I heard my door bell ringing. I had all the energy I needed to get up because I needed to know what was wrong with me.

After receiving the test and pee'ing on the stick

TRUE INDEED I WAS PREGNANT.

9 long months of working myself to death, still being abused physically, mentally, and emotionally my beautiful baby girl Amia London Minaj were born. My life changed drastically. Of course I didn't give her Rihmeek last name because he made it very clear he didn't want anything to do with her. The whole pregnancy he abused me and accused me of being a whore and that it was no chance in hell that she could be his. Soon as I gave birthed he texted me "You and that Bastard child needs to be out my house before I get back".

I literally moved in with my mother until now. She told me that I didn't have to pay any bills I just had to worry about my baby girl. Which I appreciate her so much for that because I had time to save up for me and Amiya to move. I ended up using my degree in Culinary Arts and used my talents to become a personal chef. I started working with plenty of celebrities which then grew my business page and had traveled around the world so people can try my food. I also even put out a recipe cookbook which was ranked #2 on The NY Times Best Sellers.

Life turned around DRASTICALLY for me and I wouldn't be where I was today without my support system. My Mom, Lauren, and my beautiful little me Amia.
