Love & War

Broken

Imani POV

I'm riding in the car with my husband to the hospital to see what this crazy sherriff is talking about. Drew is quiet and me knowing my husband so well I knew he was thinking.

"Drew, are you okay? Baby our child is home with my mom". I assured him.

He was still in thought and tears fell from his eyes as he shook his head and my heart dropped.

"Drew". I yelled.

He looked at me and then spoke.

"Imani, we were in a bad place and I messed up. I messed up baby"

I just stared at him with disgust. I needed to see this baby. I needed to see the child my husband fathered.

I sat quiet in the car and tears just fell in my lap. Drew tried to touch me and I wanted nothing to do with him at that moment.

We arrived at the hospital and I followed Drew to the room his son was in and I immediately knew when I saw the little boy that this was my husband's son.



A woman came rushing in asking where is her son and what happened. I looked in disgust as this young girl came in and hugged my husband as if I wasn't standing there. So much was going on and no one acknowledged my presence so I made it known.

"Everyone stop fucking moving and talking, Drew who the fuck is she? Why would you hug her in front of me and tell me this whore is not who you're mistake is". I yelled.

Now little miss hoochie looked as if she felt a little froggy. I may carry myself with class but when I snap I go 0 to 100 real quick.

"Baby, I'm sorry. This is Symone, Carter's mom. We were having rough moments, Imani" He admitted.

"Baby, this is rough and I know you're breaking but right now is not" before he finished I cut him off.

"Don't you dare. I gave you me. I compromised my life for you. I was everything you needed me to be and this is what I get. We lose 6 babies and you go make one with another woman. Drew what am I suppose feel? How?" I cried

Drew tried to come up to me and console me but my misery doesn't like company. I called an Uber and was headed home to pack me and my baby up and leave Drew. He got me fucked up and I refuse to associate myself with this shit show.

I got home and my mom saw how distraught I was and came in my room to talk to me.



"What's wrong? Let me guess Mr. Perfect has secrets. Imani, men are going to do what they want so why not do what you want. The sherriff was right huh?" My mom held me

"Mom I cant believe he would cheat on me. I dont know what to do". She cut me off.

" You keep going dammit. You have this baby to keep going for. Daddy and I will find you a house here if you're not going to come back to Texas and I'll get your divorce started. I'm so glad you didn't sign that prenup, I'll make some call and see if we  can get you the best attorney. " My mom had it all figured out.

I didn't think about divorce I just wanted to communicate with my husband and get through this. I want to know why I wasn't enough.

Drew text me 21 times and every one I deleted without opening. I need my space and he needs his. Today is chapter 1 to a whole new life I'm about to embark on whether I'm ready or not.
