"We've been together for a year... Why didn't you tell me? Couldn't you have given me a heads up before the wedding? Couldn't you have said something like, 'Um Nia, I think you should know that my foster dad is a Drug Lord!'" she bellowed as she raked her hands through her hair. Her eyes getting darker by the minute.
"I wanted to protect you plus if I had told you that from the beginning would you have married me?"
"Hell no!" At least she was being honest. "Have you seen what you've caused? Dani may be dead and I was nearly killed. You- I can't- ugh!"
"Nia, baby I'm sorry... I never wanted you to get pulled into this. I love you and believe me when I say I won't let them hurt you... I know you have no right to believe me after what I've done...but please trust me to get you out of this."
