Now onto the chapter ...

C H A P T E R
T W E N T Y - F O U R

Laying flat on her stomach flipping through channels on her bed, Shanice yawned lowly completely bored out of her mind. "Ain't shit on tv that I wanna watch," She groaned then turned on her back and stared up at the ceiling watching the fan spin.

Closing her eyes, she let out a sigh letting her mind run wild and as always she found herself thinking about her cheating ass husband. She just couldn't wrap her mind around this whole thing, she gave him the best six years of her life and out of the six he had been secretly cheating on her with the same woman he told her not to worry about for two years, then to top that as soon as she filed for a divorce and confessed that she was done with him and their marriage .. he made it public about his relationship with the woman and is now engaged to her.

To say she was hurt was beyond the feeling, she was crushed and broken inside. She gave him everything she had to offer but that clearly meant nothing to him since he didn't even try to fight for her when she filed or even after. And not once did he ever apologize, she knew she would bounce back from this but she also knew it was going to take some time.

Her trust with men now was fucked up, she didn't see how someone could love you one day then the next day hurt you like they never did.

Raising herself up, she looked at the time seeing it was about nine at night. Laying back down, she grabbed her phone and nearly jumped out her skin when she saw he had texted her.

Unlocking her phone she opened the message and read it over.

From: Bitch Ass Nigga🖕🏾
- I'm sorry to text so late, but I just wanted to let you know that I sold the house due to me moving to New York and I want to give you half of the earnings for all that I have put you through. I know money can't make up for what I have done but I hope it at least helps and also I wanted to let you know that you left a few of your things at the house, come by and get that along with the check whenever you can. I love you, hope all is well 💜
- Received at 9:36 pm

Rereading the text over and over, she tossed the phone and closed her eyes to stop the tears that were rushing to fall.

The house he sold, was the house he made many promises in. It was the house where they had planned their whole future in. A place for their future kids that they never got around to having to grow up in, she envisioned them growing old together and living their best life until the end of time but just like that it was snatched away and another woman was living the life he promised her.

Picking up her phone again, she hit the reply button.

To: Bitch Ass Nigga🖕🏾
- Just let me know when you're available to meet up there and I'll come and get the rest of my things.
- Sent at 9:48 pm

Before she could even sit her phone down, it immediately dinged and flashed and she saw it was him again.

From: Bitch Ass Nigga🖕🏾
- I'm actually at the house now packing up a few last things. I have a flight tomorrow and I won't be in town for a couple of weeks so if you want to come tonight .. you can.
- Recieved at 9:50 pm

Replying, "Okay," she quickly hit send then shot out of the bed to get dressed.

Going into her closet, she scanned through her clothes for what felt like forever until her eyes landed on the skin tight dress she wore the night they met and that she knew after all these years still turned him on from the way the dress hugged her in the all right places.
