Prologue.


Raina

"What am I doing here?" I sniffled. I was sitting in a empty room with just a mattress laid on the hardwood floor. There was a guy in the far corner looking out the window. From what I could see he was gorgeous. He looked like he was sculpted from God himself. He just smirked and rolled a blunt like I said nothing to him. "I said what the fuck am I doing here?" He looked up at me with surprise and shock gleaming in his eyes, but it shortly turned into anger. He walked closer to me and bent down to look me straight into my eyes. He grabbed my chin forcefully.

"I don't take disrespect kindly ma." He said letting go of my chin.

"What am I doing here?" I asked one last time. He lit the blunt, inhaling for a bit and exhaling out of his nose.

"You're a paid off debt. Ya mama owed me lots of money for her addiction. Said she would have my money by the ending of this year. Sweetheart, it's the end of the year and I still don't have my money, so that's where you come in place." He shrugged taking another drag. I felt the tears welling up in my eyes before spilling out like raindrops.

"Please, I'll pay you back! I'll get a loan from my school. Please! I have a son!" He turned his head towards me and came back over.
"A son?" He said more to himself than me. Cameron is my world! He's the only reason I get up every morning and make it through the day.

"Yes, a son. He's only two. Please don't take me away from him. I'll pay you back!" I cried harder. He held my head up again. "I can't do that. When a debt is collected, it's collected. What I can do is bring him to you. You can live in one of my condos downtown with him, go to school, work whatever keeps you occupied, but you're just under my supervision. Got it?" I shook my head. "Thank you." I hugged and he hugged back, was it weird that I liked the way he felt?

"We gon go get ya shit and ya son, iight?" I just nodded my head and got up from the mattress. We walked out to his Range Rover and got in. I gave him the directions to Cameron's daycare and we sat in silence for a bit.

"So if I get to live my life normally, why I am a debt?" I asked. He smirked. "You pretty much like my wife. Nah, I ain't gon ask you fa sex, cause honestly I can get that shit by myself, but I'm a business man, and it's a good look when I'm at a meeting and I got a wife in my lap. You feel me?"

"So I'm pretty much in a act with you?" I was shocked, relieved but shocked. He wanted to be my pretend husband.

"Well yea. Pretty much. You do ya thing, I do my thing, but when I need you, you come. Understood?" He looked at me briefly. I shook my head and looked out the window letting a single tear cascade down my chocolate brown skin. I quickly wiped it away. Even though my mama was an addict, she always gave me great wisdom. "Never let a Motherfucka see you cry. Don't show no weakness, and don't beg for nothin! Don't be like me." I honestly love my mother, but she had a problem and wouldn't get help for it. This is why me and cameron are in this predicament now. I shook my head realizing my life would never be the same. When we got to the daycare I opened my door to get out. When I noticed the door was locked, and whenever I unlocked it, it would lock again. I looked over to the mystery guy and saw him looking at me deeply.

"What's you're problem? Open the door!" I said. I was frustrated with his games and we haven't even known each other for a good two hours.

"How old are you and what's ya name?" He looked me up and down making me feel self conscious about my body and what I decided to wear to work today.

"Raina and I'm twenty two. What about you hubby?" He smiled and looked at me again.

"It's Demarco and I'm twenty four." I nodded my head. "Is that all?"
I asked getting impatient.

"Does you're son know his dad?"
I was a little thrown off with that one. Me and Bryan were high school sweethearts, he was my first and I was his, but he got into the drug game and left us. Never came back. Just up and left me. I was a twenty year old single mother. When Cameron turned two I found out that Bryan was gunned down because he tried to set someone up.
"No, why do you care?" I snapped. I opened the door and slammed it. Before I could walk anymore I felt him tug me and I fell into his embrace with him holding my waist tightly.

"What did I tell you about disrespecting me girl! Learn to respect me!" He whispered harshly into my ear making my spine tingle.

I don't know what I'm getting myself into.
