“BITCH!”

“I said what I said.”

I threw a shirt at her.

She caught it.

“You happy.”

That made me pause.

I looked at myself in the mirror.

And shit.

I did look different.

Not because Levin had some magical dick that cured betrayal.

I was still angry.

Still hurt.

Still disgusted.

There were moments I looked at Avery’s name in my phone and wanted to cry.

Moments I thought about Carter and had to remind myself that baby hadn’t done anything to anybody.

Same with Collin.

There were moments I looked at my own children and got pissed all over again because Xay hadn’t only complicated my life.

He had complicated theirs.

But underneath all of that?

I was lighter.

Happier.

Fulfilled.

Fucked right.

All of that.

And I had finally done something I’d been putting off.

I went and talked to a divorce lawyer.

Xay didn’t know yet.

But he would.

That nigga had been cheating on me for damn near half our fucking relationship.

With my family.
