The Curve

Twenty-five

  Natalie

The look on her face really did make my whole day better. After the conversation I had with Shawn earlier, I'd needed a little pick me up. Seeing her stupid face twist into so much hurt and rage was what I needed.

I hated this woman with everything in me. She had the audacity to come into my man's life and take what was rightfully mine. I was gonna make it my mission to cause her as much pain as possible. Killing her would be too fucking nice.

"You should have steered clear of him, Ms. Brown." Tell her as I stand and drop my phone back into my purse.

"I should have stayed away?!" She gasped, her hand flying to her chest. Tears running down her face. As if the realization has finally hit her... that's right bitch.

Destiny

I should have stayed away from Shawn?
No. I think she had this all wrong.
She showing me that video didn't hurt me that way that she thought. Shawn would not have been the first asshole to have cheated on me. Showing me that clip was just the wake up calling I needed. Sitting here waiting to be rescued
Whatever shit they had going on was now above my pay grade. She thought these tears where all from heartache. It wasn't.

Yes, I believed Shawn was the one. He got on my nerves at times, but what man didn't. Yes I was hurt that he fucked this chalk faced bitch, while she had me held up in some unknown location. On top of me being pregnant with his fucking kids.

I was hurt that I allowed myself to breathe with him. Maybe it was the money. Or I thought he knows what he wants... he said and moved in ways that made me believe he wanted me. Maybe it was the was that I thought I knew the man but didn't. He was still a mystery to me through all the years on dealing with him. Shawn Sanders was still a stranger to me I've come to realize.
I'm pissed that I waited this long. My live was on the line, because of a no good bastard named Shawn. But fuck my life. I am a mother. I'd be damned if I let this crazy bitch hurt my kids.

I wouldn't say I blacked out, or even saw red when Natalie stood from the bed with a smirk. I knew this bitch had to die in order for my kids to live. So I reached back and punched her with everything I had in me. She screamed as the blood gushed from the bridge of her nose. Her head flew back as she landed on the bed. I didn't have time to keep punching. Even though I should make some time. I don't .

I take off through the very opened door . Run as fast as I could down the stoned hall. Not knowing where the fuck I was, I saw two doors to the left on me and on further down on the right.
Running and pulling on doorknobs
"YOU FUCKING BITCH!!!!" Natalie screams from behind me. The wall exploded next to my head. A deranged looking Natalie is aiming a gun at me.
"You're really making me second guess keeping you alive!" She spits.
But as quickly as the words leave her mouth. My world comes crashing down, and a big bloody smile spreads across her face. Because that's when my water breaks.

Crystal

My two worlds were merging faster than I could handle. My Boss has my best friend. Bentley was back, and he was not the same boy from my past. Yet again neither was I. Not to mention, Gia kept giving me the side eye since we've left Shawn's office.

And I've been eyeing Bentley.
Seeing him in this world has put a whole new
But one thing at a time. I couldn't give them all the details. They didn't need to know all of it, but that I found our girl.
Natalie had been a friend. I thought. She used me without my knowledge. I had let my guard down. Now we're sitting in the Devil's mansion.
The Don Antonio Martinez and his sons are nothing to fuck with. And Natalie has done just that.

"What the actual fuck is going on Crys!" Gia are whispered as she gripped my arm.
The look on her face. He big brown eyes can't seem to keep up with all the guns, and scary men rushing around.

I didn't have time to go into detail on how i got on Natalie's employment. That wasn't the focus at the moment. And if I'm being honest, I wasn't ready to tell my girl my secrets yet.

" Gia, just keep your eyes low and stop looking so fucking scared." I tell her.
I was trying to listen in on what was being said
Just as he looks my way. His bright blue eyes lingering on me a second too long. Fernando Martinez's strong jawline flexed, and his blue eyes darkened slightly in color.
I knew he wanted to say something about me not contacting him about this first. He and I both miss the start of when his oldest brother Gabriel says. But I definitely understand his order in Italian. "Let's go kill some pussies!"
