All Tamar POV

Tamar's POV

I don't know if I should thank Toni😌 or kill her🔫. On one hand, I'm happy to be here with K. right now🙌. On the other hand, I'm pissed that Toni got into my love life😠. I'll just deal with that tomorrow🤔.

"Tamar, I'm so sorry I hurt you. I just didn't want to break up you and your family. When your mother said all those things, it made me think about how badly Asia treated me, and I was scared so I tried to push you away. It didn't work out too good because I've missed you like crazy." K. admitted. To be honest, I would've done the same thing if the roles was switched.

"K, I love you so much that I was willing to give up my family bond for you, so when you said we needed a break, it tore me to pieces." I said as I blinked away my tears. I was NOT going to cry and ruin my makeup. I look too beat for that😌.

"I know and I'm sorry. I would've admitted this sooner, but I thought you were still going on your tour." She said as the waiter sat our food down and left.

"I was so hurt, and I wasn't mentally prepared for it, I moved it up a few months." I said as I took a sip of my wine.

"Have you talked to your family since that day?" She asked as she took a bite of her pasta. "No, I haven't, and I don't think I will anytime soon. I only talk to Toni." I said stubbornly.

"I think you should talk to them especially your mom. Even though she called me out of my name, I understand where she was coming from when she didn't approve of me. Apologize to your mom, T." She said while looking at me in the eyes.

Damn, I could get lost in her eyes...

"I just don't understand why she would judge you so quickly, but she accepted Vince in a heartbeat when we were first together." I said while thinking it over.

"Vince was probably better than I am. It seemed like you both were so happy and you had it all." She said sadly.

If only she knew what happened behind closed doors....

"If that was true then do you think I would still be with him? We divorced for a reason. He's my past and there will never be a future in it. You are my present and hopefully my future." I said passionately which made her smile then frowned.

"Why did y'all divorce?" She asked curiously. I think I should tell her because I trust her enough. See, Vince and I shared with the world that we divorced, but we never revealed why. Mostly because I was scared to face my truth.

"Vince and I met in the grocery store years ago. We were on the same isle, and I accidentally bumped his cart when I was paying attention to what I was doing. I remember apologizing and rambling on and on while he gave me this amused look. At that moment, I fell in love with the way he looked at me. It was basically love at first sight for both of us. We were, at least at the time, I thought it was. I introduced him to my family after four months of us dating, and everybody except Toni accepted him with opened arms. She said she didn't trust him because of the vibe she got from him when he was around. But, my naive ass just brushed it off because I loved him just that much."

"He proposed to me three months later and got married six months after that. We were in pure bliss. No one couldn't tell me that we wasn't in love with each other at the time. Little did I know that I was married to the devil himself. The first eight months of being married was fine. We were still in the honeymoon stage. That is until his parents died. He never really had a close relationship with his father because his father wasn't the type to say 'I love you' to his son. He was very hard on him. He loved his mother more than anything in the world. Hell, that sweet and humble woman was his world."

"It was three weeks after the funeral, and Vince was still in his grieving funk. I understood that and still tried to be there for him. I did everything in my power to help him with his grieving, but it's like it came out of nowhere when he started to blame me for their death. It blamed it on us first meeting to when we first got married. It was as if something in him changed and he would beat me for the simplest things."

"The first time he did it, he apologized and showered me with expensive gifts. I forgave him when he told me it'll never happen again. I was such a dumbass to really believe that. Him not hitting me again only lasted for about two weeks before he started to do it again. By then, It was too late to try and leave. I tried to leave many times, but I was always caught and it would be a much worse beating than the last." I explained before I burst out crying. I covered my mouth to muffle my screams. I felt arms being wrapped around me.

"I'm so sorry that happened to you, Tamar. You know I understand how that is. You know I would never even think about hurting you like that. I know you won't do it to me either. I love you, Tamar." She said while gently lifting my head to look at her.

"I love you too, K." I said as we kissed. I changed my mind about killing Toni. But, there is one more thing I have to do.

Time to apologize to my family..
