Diamond POV
I love Jacob begin here! It's so much easier and plus Aaliyah loves being with him. After he was here for a couple of weeks, he proposed to me and we got married like 3 months ago. Recently, my mom moved down here because she said she needed to be closer to her granddaughter. I mean that's good for me and Jacob because with Aaliyah gone, I can have more time with my husband. While getting Aaliyah ready for my mother, I heard commotion happening downstairs. I picked her up and went to see what was going on. I opened the door and saw that their was some people and what looked like Jacob for a minute but it couldn't be him because he was at work, right? I looked closely and saw it was Jacob and it like he was fighting multiple dudes. He looked up at me then I heard was gun go off. I closed my eyes and reopen them and saw Jacob with a gun in his hand. He began to come up the stairs and I ran back in the house. I didn't know what to do, I just saw my husband kill someone. "Diamond, come here." I put Aaliyah in her crib and closed her door. I slowly walked back into the living room and saw Jacob just in one bloody mess. "Yes?" "Look, I know what you just saw me do was and is probably hard to process." "Yeah, why would you do that?" "Because I needed to protect you and Aaliyah." "From what?" He took a deep breath and sat on the couch. "Look, it happened about a year ago, while you were gone, I joined the drug gang. Made some good money but I got caught up when I came to see you. Apparently, some people have been watching me since I been here. Then, I began to get calls and texts saying they were going to kill you and Aaliyah. So, on my way to work today, cars had blocked me in and they were surrounding me. That's when you walked in and saw me fighting and pulled out the gun." I stood there, in disbelief, my husband, Jacob, was a drug dealer and he's a killer. All this one day, this way too much.
Jacob POV
Diamond looked at me and just walked off. She went into the room and closed the door. I got off the couch and headed to the room but it was lock. "Diamond, come on, open the door." I didn't hear a response. "Diamond? DIAMOND?!" I was about to bust the door down but eventually she opened it. "What is it, Jacob?" "You didn't hear me calling you?" "Yeah, I heard you." "Why didn't you say something?" "I don't know." She had duffle bag and she was headed straight towards Aaliyah room. "What are you doing?" "Taking my daughter." "For what?" "We're leaving, Jacob. I can't have my daughter around a man that kills people." "Diamond, are you fucking kidding me?" "Watch your mouth! And no, look, I love you Jacob; so much but I think this is best for our daughter. Baby, I know you think I'm just leaving for my own good but I'm not. I just need some time apart. I promise you that I'll be back." "So, that's it, huh? You leaving me again? What have we been doing these last couple of months? You know what? I don't need you, get the fuck out of here!!" She looked at me and simply picked up Aaliyah, and walked out the door. Never did I think that she would do this to me and after everything we been through she does this to me. I don't need her, I'm better by myself.
4 months later,
Diamond POV
I haven't seen or heard from Jacob and I'm getting worried. I decided to go see him, to see if he was okay. I dropped Aaliyah off at my mom house and headed to the house. As I pulled up to the apartment complex, I saw his car was here. I walked up the stairs and saw the door open. Jacob runs to me and hugs me tightly.
"Baby, I've missed you so much." "Look, we need to talk." "Sure, let's talk."
He opened the door for me and closed it behind him. I sat on the couch and saw how he sat across from me in his recliner. "So, what is it that you want to talk about?" "About our relationship." "What about it?" "Well, I except for my daughter to be with her father and I want our marriage to get back on track." "So, your saying we should get back together?" "Not so fast, baby steps. First, you need to spend more time with your daughter." "Of course. What else?" "Second, you have to go back to work." "Okay, anything else?" "Finally, you have to prove to me that you won't hurt me or Aaliyah. You will keep else protected. That you will never kill anymore." "I promise, baby. Now, can I have a kiss?" "Bring your sexy ass over here, boy." He got up and basically tackled me with a kiss. Let's just say, things were better that day and I needed that for the longest.
One year later,
After that talk me and Jacob had, he changed completely. He took really good care of Aaliyah, and he took us to a more better place, a place where Aaliyah could actually grow up. A few months ago, I gave birth to our son, Anthony. Afterwards, Jacob got in the Air Force. Unfortunately, he died in a battle fighting for his country. I never thought he would leave me, a mother with two wonderful children, and they will never see him again. After his funeral, I didn't know what to do. I never thought that the man I loved would leave me.
