Prince's POV;

It's been 2 weeks since I came home, and it's been great! Waking up to sweet hugs, and kisses from my family. Rochelle makes me breakfast every morning, and I have to say its 10 times better than prison food.

I sat in our bedroom, while Rocky was at the store with Mya, and stared at the velvet box in my hand. Contemplating whether I should ask her today or tomorrow. Not that it makes a difference, right? She's been nothing but devoted to me.

But , wait, there was a time with Roc. There was a time where she pushed me a side , and tried to forget about. She moved temporarily . When I held on so tightly . Why hadn't she said anything to me about it? What if...what if she was still seeing him?

That feeling's coming back. That feeling when Rochelle's sister tried to take her from me. That feeling when her friends hurt her! That feeling to kill is back!

..And I will satisfy that feeling.

Rochelle's POV;

I pulled up from the store, and helped Mya from out of her car seat . When we came inside the house, Prince was sitting on the couch. "Hey, babe." he didn't respond , "Okay. Well, I picked up your favorite ." I jiggled the bag . "Hot Cheetos." I grinned goofily. Yet, he showed no feeling. He was completely detached from everything. And I haven't seen the look in forever . And it terrified me.

"Mya, go to your room, sweetheart. " he said huskily . "And lock the door. Me and Mommy need to talk. " she did asked asked, and gave a quick glance over her shoulder , before disappearing upstairs.

"What is this about, Prin-"

"Sit down, Rochelle!" he snapped point to a random piece of furniture. I did as he commanded. "Now , answer me something . Did you stay faithful to me, Rochelle?"

How did he find out. "Umm..."

"And don't you dare lie to me! You know how I hate that !"

"Technically , yes."

"Technically?" he scoffed. Prince's eyes turned bloodshot, and began to shake . He reached under our table, and pulled out a hunter's knife. An all too familiar hunter's knife .

"Come out!" he yelled, and Chersanto came stumbling in. He was beyond tense, but at the same time relaxed. Like he knew this was going to happen. "Sit ," Prince pointed at the couch across of me with his knife. "So, explain to me, Rochelle, how you know my buddy here. Because I don't remember ever introducing you!" I felt tears hit my thighs , that I didn't even know I was holding in.

"I, I ... "

"Rochelle , I swear," he placed the knife to Roc's neck , "I'll kill him, and make you clean it up. Tell me!"

"He's cop and he pulled over , and ," I began to sob hysterically, but still trying to tell the story, "and he asked me out on a date. First I said 'no', but that's when you yelled at me at the prison. So to retaliate I went on the date. "

"Did f*ck him?"

"No! No, I swear!"

"She wouldn't let me, because she was still in love with you ." Roc intruded .

Prince paused for a long time, before regaining his grip back on the knife . "Liar!"

"It's not a lie! I-I love you, Jacob."

His lip began to quiver, before he let go of Chersanto. "But why, Rochelle?" he asked quietly . "Why-Why me? I'm insane. A monster. I killed your family, impregnated you, and left you to care for her by yourself.I murdered my mother, and a young child, around Mya's age! Your friends, all them gone because of me! I'm an awful person. How could you love me ?" He hung his head low, his curls falling into his face.

I ran toward him, taking him into an embrace. "Because behind that , your sweet, loving, gentle , kind hearted, sometimes over protective but I love that. I love you ."

He placed his head on my shoulder, and I rubbed his back to soothe him .
"Rochelle." he whispered. I nodded in response. "Will you marry me?"

I backed away and looked into his eyes . I soon felt mine water again. "Yes..Yes I will." Prince crashed his lips on to mine, wrapped his strong arms around my petite waist. When we pulled away, I need to ask Roc a favor. "Hey, Roc?"

"Uh, yeah?"

"Do me a favor and not say anything about what happened." I grinned desperately, trying to get him to agree.

After a while of thinking, he laughed, shrugged , then said ,"Who am I to get in the way of true love ?"

Prince pulled me in closer, and called for Mya. She eagerly came down the steps, oblivious to what just occurred a few minutes ago. "How would you like to be a flower girl, huh?" Prince asked her, with a little smirk. She gasped, "I would love it!" And again we shared a memorable family hug. Then , it came to me. I'm going to be married! I'm going to be a wife!

I'm going to be ... Mrs. Rochelle Perez .

The End.
