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.
I curled the last piece of my hair then shook my head, loosening the curls. I'm going out with my girl Yolanda from college and we're just going to go out and eat.
I look extra cute today. I'm wearing a long gray body con dress, a Pink trench jacket on top, and a pair of tan heels. I'm feeling myself.

I grabbed my white MK tote bag and my phone before walking out of the room. When I got downstairs, Zeon was sitting in the dining room with his laptop in front of him. He seems stressed.
"Where you going?" He asked dryly.
"Out with a friend." I said.
"Come here." He demanded. It didn't sound friendly either.
"I'm gonna be late." I sighed.
"I said...bring your ass here Tayeisha." He said in the same stern tone. I frowned and walked over to him.
When I got next to him he turned his laptop and when I read the screen my heart dropped a little.
"What's this?" He asked. I chuckled nervously and ran my fingers through my hair.
"A credit card bill." I mumbled. I thought this thing was gonna come in the mall in like a week.
"Tayeisha, I'm trying not to start yelling and cussing at you but you make it so damn hard. So, I'm gonna ask you this once. Why the fuck am I getting billed for $6,047.48?" He asked. His eyes pierced my face but I'm nit about to look at him in the eyes.
"I just did a little bit of shopping. I mean we were suppose to go together but you flaked so I just went by myself." I shrugged.
"So that is what this bullshit is about Tayeisha? You know what, I've had enough of your damn attitude and disrespect this past week." He stood up from his seat aggressively. "So you're mad that I'm out here working hard, breaking my back, so that we can afford for you to do some dumb shit like blow $6,000. You're real quick to sit up here and complain about me not spending time with you but the money I'm working day and night for, you go out and spend on shit you don't fucking need. You continuously complain about staying in this house but do I have you on lock and chain? I said I want to go on a honeymoon but you gave me some bullshit ass excuse!" He yelled.
"I am not going to sit up here so you can yell at me." I rolled my eyes.
I turned to walk away but Zeon snatched be back by my arm then pushed me up against the wall, leaving no space between us.
"Now, I'm gonna tell you what's going to happen. You're going to stop this attitude shit you got going on. I'm not about to just let you disrespect me like as if you're crazy. You ain't about to spend any damn money for a long ass time. Finally, when you have a problem you're gonna speak to me about it and not act like as if you're 5 years old." He said. His minty breath hit my face with every word he spoke.
