[Trilogy: Please Read "Life After Marriage" before reading this book!]
Victoria and Odell are back 16 years later with their now grown up children Sonny and Olivia.
Everyone has been doing quite well and their life is basically perfect, but it won'...
"Odell's party is soon. We don't have time to play around." I said.
"We've been working all day! Let's take a break." Mimi whined.
"What work did you do? All you managed to do is lounge around and be on your phone all day!"
"Well don't get mad because my hotline be blingin' and yours not." Mimi said.
"Girl please." I rolled my eyes.
I picked up the rest of the things and looked around the place. Everything looked perfect and things should go well tonight. Odell will love it.
"Odell is going to be here in less than two hours. We don't have much time."

Soon after, we finished preparing everything before we made our way back home to get dressed.
"So your okay with Odell being friends with this Bree check?" Mimi asked.
"Of course not. I believe she's going to cause some drama or mess, but I've been trying not to." I said turning into our driveway.
"She sounds like trouble. Maybe you should take to Odell and set some boundaries." She said.
"I should." I stopped the car and got out. "Because we do need them.
After we finished talking I went upstairs and took a shower before I did my whole hygiene routine and make-up.
After, I got dressed and put on my jewelry. I sprayed on my perfume that Odell loved and grabbed my purse before heading downstairs.

Everyone was already dressed and ready to go. We walked outside to my car and got in before we left for the party. Odell would be meeting us there after getting off of his flight. I made sure that he would get some rest and get changed. He didn't know that I was throwing him a party because I wanted it to be a surprise. It had been a while since he had one so I worked pretty hard to plan all of it.

People were here already and the party had just started. "So how far is Odell?" Mimi asked.
"He's on his way now." I smiled. "He's going to love this."
Odell
"I have a surprise for you." Victoria said covering my eyes with her hands.
"We've been walking forever." I said.
"Just a bit more. Were almost there." She said before we stopped. "You ready?"
"Yeah."
She uncovered my eyes and everyone yelled "Surprise!". I smiled and looked around the room filled with my friends and family. Everything was nice and I loved it. I couldn't believe that V did this.
Everyone went back to partying and I wrapped my arms around Victoria's waist. "You did all of this for me?" I asked.
"Yeah." She smiled. "Thank you."
"Your welcome baby." I pecked her lips and she pecked mines before we made our way to where everyone was.
"Happy birthday daddy." Olivia said hugging me.
"Thanks Princess." I kissed her cheek.
"I got you something, but I'll save it for later."
I pulled away from the hug and Sonny and I did our handshake. "Happy birthday pops."
"Thanks son."
Just as the party was getting started I saw Bree walk in. Just before I boarded my flight she told me that she wouldn't be able to make it, so I was pretty surprised to see her here.

"I'll be back." I said before walking over to her.
"Happy birthday Dellie!" She said pulling me into a hug. I hugged her back and kissed her cheek.
"Thanks. I thought you said that you wouldn't be able to make it."
"My plans got canceled last minute and I wanted to see what Victoria put together for you. It's nice." She said looking around.
"Yeah it is." I said looking around. "So do you want to come over and say hi?"
"I don't know." She said hesitantly.
"Come on, everything will be fine." I grabbed her hand and pulled her over to where everyone was sitting.
"Everyone this is one of my friends Bree. Bree this is my daughter Olivia, my son Sonny, my sister in law MiMi, and you've already met Victoria."
"Hey everyone." She said.
Everyone replied back but Victoria. I didn't pay it much attention because I knew that Victoria didn't like Bree whatsoever but she tolerated her being around.
"Victoria." I said, obviously motioning her to speak.
She sucked and teeth and sighed. "Hi." She said dryly. "Bye."
"See this is the reason why I didn't want to come over here." Bree said to me.
"You shouldn't have and you shouldn't have came either." Victoria said.
"Happy birthday Dellie." She hugged me. "I'm going to leave."
"That's right. Leave." Victoria said.
Bree rolled her eyes and flipped her hair before walking off.
"She didn't have to do all that extra stuff." Mimi said.
"Y'all have no chill." I said.
"At times." Victoria shrugged.
I shook my head and we just continued to have fun and party.
And that was the end of the chapter. Hope you guys enjoyed it.😊
