The Birth of Wisdom

chapter 8

Josh's POV

I haven't seen Tianna in years and I am beyond ready to set my eyes on her again. All these years later, and I yet and still am deeply in love with her like never before.

I just came back to town on vacation and to be honest I came to see family and childhood friends but the main reason I came, was for Tianna. I told her years ago that I would be coming back for my woman and I meant that. I graduated college and went back. I have three degrees, two children whom I have custody of, and I own a private detective agency that employes 30 people, we work with the local police department, and also the FBI when needed, seeing as how I am also work and am the head of an intelligence team. I wouldn't say that I'm rich, but I will say that I, nor my children have a need nor want that is not met. I have a twelve year old daughter, Armani, and a four year old son, Josiah. I never married their mother, she was just a friend of mines, we slept together while we were highly intoxicated and conceived my daughter. She was rapped and had a son, Joshia. Although he isn't my biological son, I took him in as well when she died from cancer three years ago. Josiah really doesn't remember her because he was just a baby, but I do tell him about her.

I in all honesty haven't been in a successful relationship since Tianna. I've had the privilege to meet nice women, but I always compared them to her. That probably sounds bad but my heart just wanted Tianna, and Tianna only. I even dated a chick named Tianna trying to replace her, but that failed miserably. The kids mom, Rayne, even told me numerous times to just go get Tianna and I always just laughed and brushed her off. But, I made up my mind a long time ago that I would get my Tianna back. When I went by her great aunts house to visit she showed me a recent picture of her and I can honestly say that she still looks breathtaking! She also informed me of Tianna "supposed to be marriage" that everybody around knew she was unhappy in. Her aunt told me that he was in prison and had been there for a while, she told me about her having a son that doesn't respect her nor her household. She told me that she goes by the name Brandy now, for what reason she didn't know, and I didn't understand, but I intended on finding out.

If I find out that the things I heard were true, the violence, the rape, everything, I will be so disappointed in her for allowing herself to be with somebody like him, and disappointed in myself for not coming back for her sooner. I don't know how, but I have to get her back. I just have to.

Tianna's POV

When I made it back home I was beyond exhausted, lost, and ashamed. I am supposed to go see Rico within the next two hours but I honestly don't know how to feel about it. Yes I've known the man for years, I'm not nervous to see him, I'm just anxious, because of this whole Azure situation. I want for him to be behind it so I can get in his head and make him think I'm going to help but I'd really be saving her, but another part of me wishes he'd honestly say he doesn't know anything, that way I can say there is some type of good in that man. But sadly, I know better. It might have taken me a while to realize it, but I know for sure that Ricardo ain't shit, never was and never will be. I wasted so much of my life on him, but no more, I am beyond done with him.

As I sat and packed up a few clothes I heard a knock at my door. I wasn't expecting anybody to come by. I walked to the door opening it without asking who it was. When I opened it, I definitely was not expecting to see him on my doorstep. "Josh" I whispered as tears started falling down my face in shock.

A/N:

So a few of you are getting confused. Why I really don't know, because I explained it. However, maybe you missed it, I don't know. *** BRANDY IS TIANNA *** when she got in a relationship with Rico he hated the name Tianna, so he called her Brandy, and made her answer to that. Brandy is a broken woman, lost in a sea of lies, betrayal, and tears. Tianna is the strong woman who sticks up for herself and knows what she deserves, accepting nothing less. In a way, she's become two different people over the years, Tianna and Brandy. But, Tianna is back! No more Brandy! From now on, it'll only be Tianna's point of view. Okay that is all.
