Detective Halmon looks at me as he again try to question me and by now I'm frustrated and tired and also Hungary as hell....

"So let me ask you something. What was life with DeVante?"

I smile and shrugg my shoulders.

"We had our ups and downs but over all he was him."

"So did he put his hands on you?"

"What's that have to do with his disappearance?"

"Did he hit you?"

"I'm not answering that."

"So I take it he did."

"Look ima tell you this DeVante was the best husband there was and I will never ever replace him with no man at all."

"Again did he hit you?"

"Is that what you asking his other wives?"

"I'm asking you."

"Ask me something else."

He says something but my mind drifts off somewhere else.

He slaps the table and it brings me back to earth.

"Breela DeGrate where the fuck is your husband?"

I roll my eyes and look at my nails instead.

"He has four other wives how should I know?"

"Why you keep asking questions with more questions?"

"You brought me in here."

"Look make it easier on yourself and tell me did you kill your husband or did any of his other wives have something to do with it?"

"I'll tell you how life was with him if I can get another cigarette."

He pulls a fresh pack out his pocket and hands it to me.

"Have the whole thing because once I find the truth you won't be needing these anymore."

"I ain't kill my husband, I loved him. He was just a manipulator."

"What about the women?"

"Why would I care? He made millions of dollars so my needs were met."

"You don't mind being wife number two?"

"He found time for all of us."

"So tell me more about your relationship."

I smile as I think of mine and DeVante first date out...






I'm laying with a mask on my face and my hair a mess when Fancy comes in the living room and tell me I have company..

"Who is it?"

I ask following her to her front door when I see him standing there..

"Hey, I was wondering would you like to chill with me today?"

I panic because I look a mess and he standing there all sexy and shit.

"Can I uh go get ready?"

"Yea but dont take forever."

He sits on the sofa and I rush to Fancy bathroom and wash my face and pick my nappy fro and laugh because he saw me when I looked a hot mess but still wanted to chill with me.

I slip on a dress and some ballerina flats and grab my purse.

When I emerge DeVante stands up nd smiles.

"You look better without that scary green mask on ya face."

"Shutup."

We laugh and he holds out his hand and we get in his car.

Instead of going to dinner we go to the movies and munch on nachos and cheese.

When the movie is over he puts his arm around me.

"What you want to do in the mean time?"

"Far as."

"Well I don't know that's why I asked you."

"Kiss me first."

He looks at me with a funny look on his face.

"Uh you got cheese on your face!"

I laugh as he wipes it off and I laugh when he kisses me afterwards.

"So are we gonna be together?"

I smile as he stands and holds me close.

"I would love to be your lady."

"Really?"

"Duh."

We talk for awhile inside his car and when he drops me off it's promises of seeing each other soon.


"That's not telling me nothing. Y'all saw a movie no sex or anything?"

"Nope he was on his best behavior."

"If he was on his best behavior, why is he missing?"

I don't even answer his question and finally I'm let out the room into my cell.

Detective Halmon watches Breela nervously shake in her cell he knew he was close in finding something out and he was determined to find out who made DeVante disappear.....
