Imagine your whole life being a lie and all your dreams being pushed aside against your will. Imagine being tied to someone you don't even know. Imagine how Tayeisha Peterson felt when she was told she has to marry a man she doesn't even know.
Tayeisha made sure that she was dressed and ready for work by 12:00 pm. She wore I tight nude dress that went past her knees, a pair of nude heels, and her hair was up in a clean and beat bun.

"Tay, can you come down here please?!" Apollo yelled from the stairs.
Apollo and Wanda, his wife, were up until late last night figuring how they were going to go about telling Tayeisha their news. It's obvious that she's not going to take the need good but she has no choice in this situation.
"Daddy, can we make this quick cause I have work and I don't want to be late." Tayeisha said, carefully walking down the stairs in her heels.
Once she got down the stairs, Apollo led her into the living room. Once Tay entered the living room, she spotted two men way larger than her and dressed in black suits with straight faces painted on their face. Confused, Tay took a seat and like clockwork, the two men walked over to her and stood on both sides.
"Who are they? I'm confused." Tayeisha said.
"You'll understand after I explain." Apollo said.
"Explain what?" Tayeisha rolled her eyes, already annoyed with this meeting type thing.
Wanda was obviously uncomfortable and she could even look her child in the face because she felt guilty. Although the situation is fucked up, Wanda understands it's for the best.
"Ok, baby girl, you know how I'm a business man," Tayeisha nodded her head. "I don't do the type of business you think that I do." Apollo said.
"What do you mean? Dad I know you own restaurants and clubs and a car dealership. What else? Did you build a casino or some shit?" Tayeisha joked. Apollo just sighed and took a sip from the glass of Hennessy in front of him.
"What I'm trying to say is that...I'm a drug trafficker. I supply other drug businesses with drugs and I have people working for me and they sell drugs for me. All the other businesses are just back up for me so that IRS doesn't suspect anything. This is something that I've been doing way before you were even born, we just thought it would be better if you didn't know." Apollo said.
Tay felt like a large bag of bricks fell onto her chest. She couldn't even say anything because she was so shocked. It seems like everything makes more sense now. Those days when her dad would have meetings in his den and cars were everywhere around the area. The endless amount of money flowing into their family. Her dad taking trips out of the country so often. Everything actually makes sense.
"Wow, why would you lie to me for a whole 21 years?" Tay asked. She wasn't mad, just shocked.
"It was best sweetie. Your father wanted to makes sure that you didn't have to worry about your safety or about his." Wanda spoke up.
"So do I have to worry now? Like...?" Tayeisha asked, starting to worry.
"No you don't. You've always been watched after by security. They were just always far enough for you not to see them. I always made sure you were safe." Apollo said. Tayeisha looked at the two guys beside her then rolled her eyes.
