Halo Knowles
Onika's Pov
"Woahhh what's going on?" Rihanna said as I stormed into her house angrily.
"She's trying to take my kids rih...my babies. I need- I need you to stop her."I said trying to get my words out.
"What do you mean? Slow down."She said guiding my to the living room as we sat down and. I tried to breathe.
"We went to therapy. She doesn't want me anymore... now she wants the kids. All because I entertained a man. She's doing it out of spite."I said siping my tears.
"Onika, she's angry right now because you cheate-
"I didn't cheat. I didn't do anything with him."I said doubling down.
"You didn't chest physically , yes. But that was definitely emotional. As your home girl it's my job to tell you when you wrong and you wrong. You can't tell me you wouldn't have took it that far if y/n didn't confront you, hmm?"She aid as I stayed quiet. Of course I'd thought about it multiple times.
"Onika can I ask you something?"She said I nodded.
"Would you have even gotten with y/n if she wasn't going to be a doctor?"She said as I looked at her crazy.
"What?!"
"Look, I'll put it like this, you both have done things. I mean, your marriage has never been perfect never will be, but you don't ever think it's because it wasn't built on love. Of course y'all feel in love after some time who wouldn't. But Nic you didn't even want y/n till you found out how successful and secure her lifestyle was to accommodate yours. You didn't want kids, you compromised. You didn't want another, your career was taking off. You got your tubs tied without telling her, it led to that whole situation. Then you got them untied and had halo for her, without any compromising on her end. I mean I don't even think you tried to connect with halo since, you had him to please y/n." She paused.
" Both of you are talking but it's like neither one of you listen to eachother. You both have strong narcissistic personalities, that don't clash well. Especially when the power dynamic is off . Literally no one is listening to one another.And you can't without it going like this. What are you even fighting for in this marriage then? You act lil you hate one another..."She said as I came to the realization.
Of course I didn't hate y/n but at the same time most what Rihanna was saying was true. How can we move on if we really never even started. Everything was rushed , and forced. It was like this perfect fairytale I had created in my head, but I had never finished writing it. And I could see that now.

Y/n POV
"I didn't know you were going to be home.."I said before going to walk upstairs to get my things after she didn't answer.
"Y/n."She said making me turn back towards her. "I don't want to talk about the same thing, I'm sick of fighting. I'm sick of the resistanc—
"I'm done fighting."She said as I looked at her confused.
"What?"I asked not sure i was hearing her right.
"I want a divorce too. I'm done fighting. And I'll let you have custody of the kids as long as I get to see them whenever and you can even have the house , I'll move. I just want everything in writing. I realized you were right."she said as I paused.
"I'm confused."I said not knowing what else to say.
"I realized I've been trying to avoid this for so long because I had this image in my head of what marriage is. I rushed into something not being ready. I was never prepared to marry you in the first place. And for that I'm sorry. I understand I haven't been present in our marriage, with our kids. I noticed it's because I essentially have been looking at it as a burden. But I know I love my kids, and I would never not love them, or say I regret them, but I feel like things would've been different had you just listened to me. And I'll do better with them, it's the least I could do. They don't deserve that. As for you, I'm sorry I hurt you, it went entirely too far."She paused.
"I'll forever love you and have love for you. But I do think maybe this divorce is best." She said as I nodded speechless.
She was finally saying the things I yearned for her to say for years especially 'Sorry' but something felt different. My heart felt heavier than when she spoke. I had been so over it and angry but know she was giving me everything I wanted I suddenly didn't want it anymore. I mean, why would I want to stop my kids from seeing their mother? How could I say that? Did the heat of the moment piss me off that bad?
I also hated how easily it felt like she was giving up...I at-least wanted her to fight for me. Fight for our family.
"Just like that?"I said after a few moments of pondering what k would reply.
"Y/n you don't even think you were wrong do you?"She asked as I scuffed.
"I'm wrong? You cheated but I'm wrong?"I said
"Yes, yes I cheated. And I'm sorry. But have you ever thought maybe just maybe it was a reason? He gave me what you didn't . God all of took was him to make me laugh and I was sold. All it took was some attention. He was everything you weren't, and of course I understand the 80/20 rule. But maybe you're not my 80 percent. And that's okay."She said as I squinted. I hated every word that flowed from her mouth.
