I stood in the mirror fixing my makeup. I know I said I was ready to face it all but. I just don't know if I'm ready mentally. Seeing that all over again messes with my mind. As I sighed deeply fixing my clothes the bathroom door swung open. It was Kamala. She ran over to me and hugged me deeply. We stood there in each others arms not saying a word.
After a while we both pulled away. Kamala sighed, "are you okay?". I swallowed hard giving her a soft smile. "I'm good now. It was just a lot seeing that all over again.. I didn't realize that I haven't prepared myself mentally". Kamala nodded as she listened. "Well we have to get back in there. You ready?". I nodded with a smile. She took my hand and we walked back to the courtroom.
Everyone's eyes landed on us. We stepped towards our seats and we sat down. The judge cleared his throat, "Kamala. You may stand. Douglas, you may also stand". Kamala stood up and so did Doug. The judge cleared his throat. "So Douglas. Help me understand why you've been doing the things you been doing?".
Doug stayed silent for a moment. I mumbled, "don't come up with a lie". I kept a straight face. Doug began to speak, "I just feel like Tiffany is not here for the right reasons. She made Kamala divorce me, I know she did.. Shes just a little pathetic lying lesbian". The judge stood tall.
"Douglas. In this courtroom we will use proper words. Kamala, you have the floor". Kamala cleared her throat. "With what Doug said, Tiffany didn't force me to divorce him. We weren't together during that time". The judge nodded and so did I.
Kamala continued, "Doug. Let's move past the whole 'divorce thing', how about we talk about recent events". The judge nodded in agreement. "Kamala you may be seated, Tiffany stand". I stood up tall as my eyes met with the judge. The judge sat down as he began to speak. "Douglas. What is your biggest issue with Tiffany?".
He chuckled, "As stated. She's the ring leader of all this mess. She started all of this". It took everything In me to not go ham and throw everything out there. I kept calm and i proceeded with caution. "Doug, please stop sitting here making this all about me. Let's get deeper into it. Why'd you have to pull that gun out on me?". My eyes glared at him. With all the attention being on him he got nervous.
He sighed, "Tiffany. Don't act like you don't know why". I chuckled, "Doug I know why— but I want you to explain it to the judge. Tell him, now". My voice sounded demanding but I remained calm with a smile. My eyes stayed on Doug. I wanted him to feel nervous I wanted him to feel scared. I titled my head as I waited for him to speak.
He cleared his throat, "I don't owe anyone a explanation. What I did I still stand on it". I chuckled as I sighed. "Doug. Either way it goes they already have the footage. So feel free to use this time to tell the truth". My head held high and the smirk on my face was impeccable.
Doug sighed, "I pulled the gun out on you because you've taken everything from me. Kamala, my wife of 10 years". I cut him off. "Cut the bullshit Doug. I'm tired of hearing this same sob story". I walked around from the table leaning against it. Kamala stood as she tried to grab me.
I stood firmly beside the table. "You've tried to tarnish my name. The kehlani situation, You thought it was gonna pull me away from Kamala?. You're a pathetic human being. You're the most disgusting person I've ever met. And with this whole gun situation, I'm making sure they're putting you behind bars".
Millie stood tall with a slight chuckle. "Tiffany". I titled my head narrowing my eyes. "Listen Millie. This is between me and Doug. And actually— I have a question". The judge stood tall. I chuckled, "Have you seen what he has been doing? Or is daddy (Doug) just giving you money to keep quiet, hm?". Everyone in the courtroom gasped loudly.
Millie sighed, "Daddy?. Why would he pay me to be quiet?". I chuckled as I walked over back to my seat. "Because no woman is gonna stick beside a horrible man. Especially when they're still obsessing over their ex wife". The judge cleared his throat. "That's enough Ms Reid. Thank you. Millie you must be seated".
I sat down and so did Millie. The judge sighed, "Well Douglas, we aren't really getting anywhere. You haven't proven anything. And with this proof that we have, I'm sorry. But you will be arrested and sent to jail for 10 years". The officers walked over to Doug putting him into handcuffs.
The anger and the rage in his eyes was evident. Millie was crying and me and Kamala were smiling. It felt so good to finally be free from all of this. Me and Kamala stood up and held hands. The secret agents lead us out of the courtroom. The deep sigh I took felt relieved.

Me and Kamala sat by the fireplace sipping our wine. We painted, danced, sang and laughed. Everything felt so surreal. It felt like I could finally breathe and be happy. Kamala broke the silence for a second. "After all this we might need a vacation". I smirked a little as I made eye contact. "We just might. What's your ideal vacation?".
Kamala went silent. I could tell she was thinking so the silence was calm. She giggled, "hmm.. Paris. I've always wanted to go to Paris". My eyes widened with happiness. I knew exactly what I was gonna plan for her. "That sounds good babe, I've never been to Paris but I would be willing to go".
Kamala nodded. I sighed, "I'm so glad all of this is over. I can finally be happy with the person I love without any interruptions". Kamala smiled brightly as her hand found its way to my thigh. "Me too Tiffany.. no more Doug, no more Millie, no Bonnie or Chris. Gosh we've been through so much I don't even know how it feels to be wrapped in drama anymore". We both laughed.
I pulled her closer placing a slight kiss on her lips. "I love you Kamala". She smiled as she kissed me again. "I love you too baby".
