“Aaliyah,” he called softly. “You don’t have to do this, put the gun away.”

“Adonis, I have too,” I mocked, adding a drawl. “You know what I figured out? You’re just a sorry excuse for a man. Because you were having problems with your wife you came to me. Filling my head with all these promises and shit. And I believed them, all of them. That was my stupid ass fault.” I chuckled dryly while shaking my head. “You said you loved me, I believed that. You said you’d leave your wife for me, I stupidly believed that shit also. Then in the same week you turn around and say y’all gon’ be a family. We’re supposed to be a family Adonis!” I used the back of the gun to wipe away my fallen tears.

“Aaliyah please, I’m sorry—” Adonis began.

“Fuck that! If we can’t be a happy family, then y’all ain’t going to be one either.” I squeezed my eyes shut and pulled the trigger, praying it hit her where I’m hurting, the heart.

Adonis Kaufman, is the type of man every girl dreams of marrying. Successful, wealthy, sexy; what more can you ask for? How about commitment.
