After recording a video for Instagram asking people about what it was I could do for my birthday tomorrow I uploaded it. I wasn't in much of a mood to celebrate it without Angelo around. It was a depressing time having someone pass that you'd known almost your entire life. Normally I'd have all three of my kids over on the weekend but this weekend the twins had plans of their own. After what had happened at Chloe's house I'd brought my youngest daughter over to stay a few days with me because I refused to have her at home dealing with a woman who didn't too much care about being the good mother Zaiya deserved.

Most likely I'd just spend my birthday with Zaiya unless I could convince the twins to come chill with their pops too. They'd just turned 18 and they were doing their own thing. These days it seemed like they didn't have time for their old man but it was understandable. I was once their age so I knew that they were excited about being legal and they'd be graduating this year. They were legal but that didn't mean that I still wouldn't buss their ass if they got out of line. Regardless of how toxic shit could be between my children's mothers it never took away the love my children had for one another.

Ivy kept my daughter Gianni and my son Trent away from me the whole year I was married to Chloe. Sure she'd let me video chat with them but as far as being around Chloe and also seeing their younger sister Zaiya she wasn't feeling that. It was understandable because I'd hurt her by not only cheating, having a secret baby behind her back, and leaving her to marry the woman I'd cheated with. I knew her pain and anger ran deep. Truth was I was young and dumb as hell. I'd gotten a new piece of pussy and thought that I was in love with her. Cheating on Ivy started because I was under a lot of pressure back then. We fought almost everyday like cats and dogs. Not physically but there were times where those explosive arguments almost led to physical fights. I was over it all and I could feel us drifting apart. We'd gotten together when I was 19 and we spent 5 years together. Years that I threw away marrying a woman who started to show her true colors once the knot was tied.

Chloe and I stayed married for a year before I divorced her ass. I tried getting full custody of Zaiya but since I didn't have anything concrete to really prove that she was unfit the judge decided that she'd live with Chloe. I tried a second time and again it wasn't happening. Feeling that no judge would ever side with me because I was a man I just stopped and I tried making the best of how much she allowed me to see Zaiya. Even now.

It was a shame that sometimes my daughter would sneak out of the house to come stay over with me because of how temperamental and extra her mother was. I really felt like that she was taking her anger out for me on Zaiya because I'd stopped having sex with her two years ago. Truth be told I would fuck her over the years because I knew that that's what she wanted and that's why she acted an ass when she didn't get it. It's like once she had that she allowed me in Zaiya's life more with no problems. However sex eventually led to her thinking she was my woman and I knew that I had to cut it off.

I exhaled thinking back to earlier today when I'd shown up to her house.

"Who's that?" Chloe asked looking around me noticing Leena in my car. Our marriage had been short and because of how extra Chloe was I'd never really brought her around D'Angelo's family. She wouldn't know what his children looked like now as adults because she never cared enough to try to know them. My children knew them because when I'd get them I'd take them over to play with them. Hell they still talked now. They had a bond as strong as D'Angelo and I had. It was like his children were older siblings to mine. My children looked up to them.
