"The last time i checked i am a free woman, a divorcee, single woman who is ready to mingle"

"Which are what? i am sick and tired of this house, i need to breath in fresh air. I just can't wait to move into the new apartment i just got or should i just pack out now" she asked smiling
"You know we had an agreement,you can't leave this house until after the election. Moreover the kids will be back from their holiday soon. We have to keep the facade" I said
"Keep the kini(what)? Kini eleyi n ba mi so? (what is this one telling me)? Are you for real? what foolish act do you want me to keep up am done with that pretending nonsense. Like the kids do not know already" she said rolling her eyes
"Know what woman? what are you not telling me? I hope you have not gone ahead to poision the mind of those innocent kids? I asked
"Poison what mind? The kids know what going on from the quarrels to the divorce process. They know everything including how their father is a coward and their grandma the evil who orchestra everything"
"How dare you go ahead to tell my children all those lies? how dare you huh? " i moved angrily towards her prepared to strike her face but her hand stopped me
"What do you think you want to do ehn? i didn't know you have added wife beating to your long list and let me remind you one thing. i am their mother, i carried them for nine months each, backed them for 3yrs each. Neither sleep nor slumber when they cry at night and they suckled on this breast endlessly. Now tell me who they will believe, you,your mother or me. Good night Mr Williams" She walked out leaving me stunned.

Everything was going smoothly, until she heard footsteps approaching from the hallway leading to her room. Her room was at the extreme of the hallway. The footsteps stopped right in front of her door-- then a knock on the door could be heard. "Ani" she heard a voice from outside call That was the day Her life changed forever. If she had known how things would turn out, she never would have opened the door for her drunk father to get in.

I kicked the door opened since she always will have the bad habit of not locking a door. As soon as I appeared before them, harry spoke up immediately, "this isn't what you think babe." "Babe! Really?" "What are you doing in my apartment without knocking. You didn't even call to inform me you're coming over," Lizzy said acting like everything around her is normal, reaching out for her phone on the bed table. Hot tears ran down my cheeks as I watched Lizzy pick up her phone and sighed, "Ooooh. You actually called. I'm sorry little couz, was quite busy with my baby here but since you are here, we can have a threesome." "Right! A threesome with a devil I call my cousin and my ex," my shaking voice spat with venom. At this time, Harry had dressed up fully. "Babe, I can explain. She invited me over saying you would be here and before-," "Save it for your ancestors, you bastard" with my hand up, I said shutting the fucked up idiot.

Something New
A Spinoff From the Grace Series I skim my fingers along my woman's arm as she reclines back, seated in my lap with her back resting against the cushioned arm of the wooden bench we worked on together. I built it and she painted it. And each one of our kids put their handprints on it. My darling sewed cushions to tie on during the warm days so we can sit out here comfortably. Now we enjoy the fruits of our labor together. And I'm speaking about the couch and our marriage. "How did we start?" she asks languidly, her eyes shut. Her coily hair frames her face in the afro she has it in. She's dolled up a bit with her dress and earrings. She's got nowhere to go, but she does it to feel perked up for the day. I'm fine with that, but she knows I'm just as fine if she's wearing one of those old nightgowns she has, or in her birthday suit. "You were always passing me by," I hold Kemi's hand and with my other one, I use my finger to trace her facial features. I love every one of them. I gently go over her brows then go to her cheeks that are a lovely rounded shape. I move onto her cheekbones, which sit a bit high. My finger trails down to her jaw and her lips as they curve up in a smile. "But to be fair, I passed you by as well, darlin'." The way we met, and the way we began, is all part of a story that is beyond us and I like to think back on it often. I like to think back on how the Lord made something new out of something broken. ~~~ This technically comes after Grace but can be read alone (and before or after Redemption). As with "Grace", this is an age-gap interracial romance about faith, love, and healing. Forewarning: This story discusses a darker theme that may not be suitable for a younger audience. Although, things are still done in a God-honoring way. Unlike Grace, this story is more of a short story and will likely contain less than 25 chapters. It follows Kemi and Fred, the close friends of Grace and Joe.Complete

Before you go
"Listen to me Qurratul Ayn, before you go, I want to know; did I ever offend you? Is my love for you too little?" I can feel his hand hovering over mine. He wants to hold it, but he knows better than to do that. "Please, I don't want to do this now. My flight is in thirty minutes." I can feel the tears wetting my Niqab. "No! I want to know. Where did I go wrong? Was it money? I didn't feed you well? I didn't clothe you? My love wasn't enough for you? I need to know, all those years! You're seriously willing to throw them away like they were nothing?" A sob breaks out but I manage to hide it behind a cough. I take a silent deep breath and turn, my Niqab swaying and making a whip sound. "It's not like, they really were nothing! Look, I don't have it in me to explain myself. You said you'd give me whatever I want? Then leave me be. I never loved you okay! I never did, it was all a sham, a facade!" His hand that was looming over mine falls limp beside him and he staggers back. "You're lying." He laughs. It's as if he's trying to convince himself. I scoff. "You think so? Well take a look at this." His eyes fill with tears and he takes one of his hands and place it on his mouth. He can't believe that it's actually true. "Okay, Fa'iza." My heart breaks.
