A/N: If you didn't read the first book, here's a little clarification for this chapter. Matthew is Kimberly's brother, one of the few guys that raped her when she was younger. She had no connection with him at all, but now...well, you'll see.

3 days later...

Kimberly ❤️

"I need a favor." I say.

"Well this is a first. You usually never ask me for anything." He said, grinning.

"I'm serious Matthew." I say.

The grin on his face fell when he saw how serious I was.

"What happened?" He asked, now very interested.

I hesitated, but decided to tell him.

"Dak has been cheating on me with some woman named Denise." I say.

"Uh huh." He said.

"So I recently filed for a divorce. Now I gave him some time to make up, but I recently saw him and Denise." I say.

"Oh." He said.

"Yeah. I tried getting him to sign the papers, but he ripped them up, saying that I'm not leaving him. Especially after I said I'm taking the kids too." I explain.

"Damn Kay. I'm sorry." He said.

I shrug.

"Anyway, I was wondering if you could do me this favor." I say.

"What's up?" He said.

"I want her out." I say.

He nods.

"Do you have a picture?" He asked.

I nod, handing him my phone. He nodded once again, giving me back the phone.

"Alright, give me the word and I'll have the boys ready." He said.

I smirked.

"Thanks. I'll text you all of the information when I'm ready." I say.

"Okay. Now can I ask you this?" He said.

"What?" I say.

"What are you expecting out of this?" He asked.

"Once he finds out she's gone, he's gonna be forced to sign the divorce papers. Then I'll be a free, single mom with 6 kids." I say.

"Sounds...good." He said.

"Trust me, I have it planned out. Then we'll really see who he loves." I say.

"You've always been known to be vicious." He said.

"You know me so well." I say, grinning.

He shook his head.

"Alright, I'll see you when I see you." I say.

He nods. I get up from the booth and make my way out of the cafe.

Always have a plan of execution...literally.

"Mommy." I hear.

I sit up straight, looking toward the stairs. I see Nicole.

"Yes baby girl?" I say.

"Are you and daddy fighting?" She said.

"No baby girl. Not right now." I say.

"Why are you guys fighting anyway?" She asked.

"Because daddy thinks it's okay to be with other women while married to Mommy." I say.

She frowned.

"I know Nicky. I wish he would act right too." I say.

"Can you tell him to stop? He's hurting my feelings." She said.

My heart shattered.

"I tried Nic, I really did. He just doesn't listen." I say.

She pouted.

"Come here Nic." I say.

She comes and sits beside me on the couch. She curls into me. I kiss her forehead and stroke her hair.

"We're going to be okay. Me, you, Eli, Jordan, Jayden, Jaylen and Cam. It'll just be the 7 of us." I explain.

She nods. She sniffles, wiping her face. I wipe some tears for her, kissing her forehead again.

"Mommy loves you sweet pea." I say.

I love my girl so much 😍.

*****

Dak walked into the house, sighing deeply. I typed on my phone, pretending he wasn't even there. He walked over to me.

"Hey babe." He said.

He tried to kiss me but I pushed him away.

"We're not together for you to be doing that." I say.

He looked at me, his eyes darker than usual.

"You were with her. I smell her on you." I say.

He sighs.

"You're not even making an effort to stop the shit." I say, fed up with him.

After he said nothing else, I knew all too well this marriage was over with. We would have our shit packed and moved out by the end of the week. I'm not putting up with his bullshit any longer.

Later on, I'll text Matthew about this hoe and he'll take care of her ass tomorrow.

Sometimes you have to get over your past to get things done.
