Manhattan Nights

2.

I walked into my dads office sitting in my usual seat beside my mom who side-eyed me as if i did the most tragic thing ever.

Daniel: So you're saying you want to buy Kareem Enterprises for $55 million?

Charles: Yes Mr.Kareem, the other option that i think would benefit us both is letting Avira collab along with Kareem Enterprises for 50k a month, two amazing mindsets will have both of our companies stay at the top of Fortune 500 for a very long time. This is a win win situation.

They both seemed like very good ideas but at the end of the day most of the computer software companies are very shady.

Kianna: How do we know your company is good enough for us?

Charles and his collagues turned to face me with a blank look on his face, if he couldnt answer this question that clearly shows they werent good enough for us. My dads company must have the best reputation, money can come whenever.

Charles: You must be Kianna Kareem.

Kianna: You damn right. Answer the question.

He couldn't find any explanation, i chuckled to myself turning to my mother. This question always got companies that wanted to buy my fathers company.

Daniel: Call me in a week, ill let you know my decision. Meeting over.

Everyone stood up leaving from his office, i stood up fixing my skirt grabbing my purse. I rushed out of his office before i had to hear his mouth about me being late. I entered my Grey and White interior designed office sitting down behind my computer, i opened my email realizing i had so much shit to do. I sighed turning on some Future getting to work.

*Hours Later*

I pulled up into my drive away and realized there were 5 cars parked beside Michaels Bugatti, i could've sworn he was supposed to be at basketball practice , basketball season was approaching and the New York Knicks needed to stop taking so many 'L's" . I stepped out my car heading inside my house, i opened the door to the strong smell of weed coming from the living room. Michael and his basketball friends were smoking while music played loud as if we dont have neighbors, i walked over to the Beats Pill slamming it down on the floor hoping it would break. Michael got up getting in my face as his dumb ass friends looked to see what was gonna happen. You cant be in your girlfriends house doing shit like this, at least have some respect for me

Michael: Yo you fucking dumb?

Kianna: This is my fucking house dont you dare talk to me like this.

I eyed his friends that sat behind him looking high as fuck.

I pushed past him taking off my heels throwing it on the floor, taking the stairs to get to my room. Mike followed behind me yelling my name, i ignored him but then i felt a hand grab my foot dragging me down the stairs. My purse fell from my hand as Michael dragged me from the third floor , i kicked him with my other leg which hit him in his jaw. He stopped and looked at me with anger in his eyes, i knew what this was gonna lead to. He grabbed a fistful of my hair sending several blows to my head, i threw punches at his face but all it did was make him angry. He dragged me throwing me into the wall, i touched my nose to see that
it was bleeding. The tears started to flow on my face, he moved closer to me about to throw another punch at me , but then his friend caught his hand while the others helped me up.

Michael: Tired of that dumb ass bitch trying me. We out this bitch yo lets go.

I couldn't stop crying like a little girl, he always does this when he knows hes wrong. It was so hard to leave him because we were the 'perfect couple" in the media. James helped me up, i pushed him away . They waited till the last minute to help me , Michael does anything and everything when hes mad.I got up from the floor limping into the elevator, the elevator shut . I stared at myself in the mirror in the elevator. My nose was bleeding, i had a black eye, my lip was bleeding and my face was beginning to swell up the tears fell from eyes as i stared at myself. It finally reached my bedroom floor, the tears couldn't stop coming i shut my door locking it. I took off my clothes entering the bathroom, i sat on the toilet realizing i had gotten my period. I set the water temperature high waiting for the tub to fill up. I wiped myself up stepping into the hot bath that was filled with bubbles. My body ached, my cramps hurt terribly, I layed in the tub with my head laying on the side of the tub.

- An hour later i got out of the tub wiping my body off slapping on a powdered scented pad. I put on lotion finding a big white T-shirt, i took a Tylenol to ease the pain a little. I crawled into bed getting under my white fluffy comforter. I closed my eyes silently crying to myself, i quietly said a prayer to myself. " God I thank you for my life and i thank you for this day. Things arent going well right now and i pray that you can help me please. Im weak and i need you. I dont deserve this life, id make the perfect wife. I know you will help me through this situation. I thank you and I love you. Amen".
