And if he can't learn to love you, you should leave him
'Cause sista you don't need him-Tupac
Shawn Corey Carter Sr.
New York
"Mrs. Carter he requested to be alone-" I heard as I admired the large family portrait painting of all of us.I Put my hand up not taking my eyes up off of it as I heard the clanking of her heels hitting the marble floors of my office.
"She's fine, thank you."I said to my assistant as I heard the door close.
"You knew? This whole time?"She said as I still didn't look at her.
" what you talking about bey?" I said defeated.
"She told you she was pregnant when she first found out. Your sick. You've bee lying this whole time."She said throwing the folder at the painting as papers flew everywhere and I finally turned to her.
"Yes, I knew. But I knew it was no way that's my baby."I said as she nodded biting her lip.
"I'm supposed to believe you? You fucked her Shawn."She said
"With protection. And keep it down. What you tryna tell the world?" I said rubbing my temple.
"Like that mean anything. That's bullshit. I've been protecting you I still am. Fuck the world. Do you know how heartbroken our kids would be if they found this out? That their father has an outside child on the way by a significantly younger woman that definitely isn't their mother.No matter how much I weigh, how beautiful I look, how much of a good wife I am your still going to keep doing this. I've done the cheating I've let it go time after time again. But babies Shawn? A child? That's where I draw the line. You've broke me enough." she said crying going to walk out.
"You're being a hypocrite."I said as she kept walking. "Paris." She stopped walking.
"That's nothing like this and you now it. Paris is your daughter Jay."She said waking back up to me.
"How can you be so sure about that? Funny how he disappeared off the face of the earth after that whole situation. I just had to take your word for it."I said
"You wanna go there? I didn't fuck him Jay. And frankly at this point I don't give a fuck if you believe me or not. I offered you a DNA test multiple times.You said No not me."She said
"Because that would break me! Ok?! You happy?! One of my kids not actually being mine would break me."I said breaking down.
"You've treated Paris differently every since. You don't think I've noticed how skeptical you were for years? I've tried to keep this family together and perfectly.You keep fucking it up."She said
"For 17 years that thought has been in the back of my mind. It's not fair to Paris but honestly it's not even her fault. It's ours and she got caught in the middle. I didn't even realize she wasn't there yesterday bey. My own daughter. You know how fucked up that is."I said
"Then fix it. It's the least you could do. Paris snuck out to a party and I have t deal with this baby and divorce situation as quietly as possible so you handle Paris."She said
"Okay."I said sadly
"I'll send he o the jet back."She said

"Hey..."Paris said lowly as I opened the door letting her and Kelly in.
"Hi."I said not knowing where to start.
"Are you okay?" I said seeing she looked shaken up.
"Yea ma'am."She said as I motioned for her to come here. I grabbed her face lightly as I looked into her eyes before kissing her forehead and embracing her in a hug.
"I love you baby girl."I said as she immediately melted in my arms.
"I'm sorry mama.She said breaking down as I looked at Kelly.
"It's okay."I said wiping he tears.
"Paris." I said after a few minutes as she has finally calmed down.
"Yes?"She said lowly
"I need you to go get ready sweetheart." I said
"For?"She said
"Your going to New York. With your father."I said as she got angry.
"How long?"She said
"I don't know." I said not wanting to lie.
"Is what I did so bad? You want to put me off on dad because you don't want to deal with me? I can't remember the last time he said more than three words to me. He's basically a stranger." She said
"Which is more of a reason for you to go. You both need each other now more than ever. It is a lot going on right now. This is not a punishment Paris." I said as she stormed upstairs as I looked at Kelly sadly.
"Can we talk?" I said as she nodded and we walked to my office.
"What changed?" She said talking about the room.
"Everything." I said as she hummed.
"What do you want to talk about bey?" She asked as we sat down.
"You."I said
"Look if this is about solange-
"Why would this be about my sister?"I asked confused.
"Disregard. Anyways what's up?" She said
" Paris anytime anything happens like what happened yesterday she comes to you... Do you know why?" I said
"Uh because I'm her auntie / god mama?"Kelly said
"We both know it's deeper than that. You both have a connection that me and paris can't even get too. I'd think if she got to pic you'd be her mother."I said
"But I'm not. You both also have a connection Paris and I could never. And that's daughter to biological mother. I'm not saying anything but I will say that you have over the years forgotten about Paris on multiple occasions. Think about it all of your kids have something going on career and life wise except for Paris. Honestly I don't think she's applying herself at all. And she doesn't think that it's worth it. Paris is different from your other kids. I think all she wants from y'all is a little acknowledgement and engagement. I've saved Paris from the edge multiple times. But I can't fix the root of the problem because I'm not apart of the equation. You saw how she reacted just then. She just wants you, bey. Atleast talk to her because I'm not her so I don't know the specifics." She said as I nodded taking it in.
