The Bet

Chapter 24

Kenya

I fixed my hair since it didn't look nice the other way. I was finished brushing it when there was a knock on the door. That's aunt betty..

I opened the door and noticed her alone

"Hello" She said as I opened the door more for her to step in

"Hi" I hugged her

"Nice place you have"

"Thank you" I led her to the kitchen and we both sat down

"so you wanted some information on how Yvette came about?"

I nodded "Yeah"

"Its complicated and you may not believe me but I couldn't believe it myself when I heard about this"

I sighed "Ok"

"Yvette's mom Nicole is in jail"

"why?"

"When your father was with your mother he definitely loved his wife I can see. But ... Nicole was crazy for him. He was her ex lover before you're mom came along. Shel basically forced him into it with her by threatening you're life and you're moms. And he knew how she was so he insisted. Yvette came along and y-"

"wait how you know all this?" I asked

"I visited Nichole when she was in there and she told me. She apologized for everything and said she knows she doesn't deserve your forgiveness but you deserve a apology"

I looked down and sighed. It's really nothing else I can. She gave me what I wanted to hear and that's it. My dads dead and Yvette's mom is in jail so there's no discussing this with them.

"Thank you."

"No problem" she nodded "You deserved answers"

"yeah"

We both stood then I walked her to the door.

"Well it was nice seeing you" she smiled "Have a nice day"

"You too" I smiled back

I shut the door and locked it. My mind was still on the situation with me and Jaiden. I've cried for the last three days just thinking about it. Nobody wants to be used for something so stupid. He definitely won't be hearing from me again.

I checked my phone which vibrated. There was a text from Jayla

JAY 💕: CHECK KINGS INSTAGRAM !!! NOW!! HE HAS A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT @Kingsworld

I frowned and clicked off to go instagram. I went to his profile and noticed a picture of him and another girl with three kids there too. I read the caption and was taken back.

Kingsworld My family 💕 I love them

What the hell. I know we aren't together but he was acting like he liked me. I felt like we were going to be going out... I'm definitely confronting him about this. Maybe it's a misunderstanding and someone made this account?

I called his phone and he answered on the third ring. My heart was pounding as I hoped this wasn't what I thought it was.

"Hello?" He sounded like he'd been sleep

"King..." I trailed off "We need to talk. You think you could get here in about twenty minutes?"

I heard him sigh low "I just woke up bruh"

"Fine" I said "I thought it'd be better to talk in person"

"What is it? It can't be that important"

"It is to me" I felt myself becoming a bit heated but quickly calmed down just in case it wasn't true. I don't want to jump to conclusions but it's weird for someone else to just do this "Its something I saw on instagram..."

He paused for a minute before speaking "What?"

"There was a picture of you, some other girl and three kids. It was captioned my family, I love them. I was wondering what could be the meaning behind that? Do you have a whole family you aren't telling me about?"

I heard him moving around "Umm send me the picture of it. I don't even know what you talking about foreal"

"If it's true tell me it now. I'm already having a hard time as it is King and don't need more shit piled into my chaotic life. Yeah, I was falling for you but let me know now before I get even more attached to you. Please. It'll only make it easier for you and me"

I could tell he was nervous by how quite he got many times through me bringing up the subject

"Hello?" I asked for the third time

"I'm sorry baby" his voice lower then before

I closed my eyes and tried my best to hold the tears in. No matter how much I try I still get hurt in the end. King had me feeling a different way and all to come to this. Before he could say anything else I hung up and went upstairs.

I laid in my bed and buried my face in my pillow. All I could do at this point is cry. Seems like at this point in my life everyone wants to hurt the little ounce of happiness I have in my body. We just weren't meant to be but I'm grateful I didn't continue this lie forever.

My phone vibrated and I reached over looking at it.

King(My love): I apologize to you with everything in me baby. I promise to explain everything to you. You're probably the best girl I've ever been with and I'm sorry for hurting your feelings

I rolled my eyes and threw my phone at the wall. It's probably cracked but I really don't care. My life's already fucked up so that won't amount to it.

All my crying made me sleepy and I dozed off into a deep sleep.
