EBONY

Ebony woke up in A white room in a small bed sounded by white walls and medical informational pictures hanging around. It was Obvious she was in a hospital. She couldn't remember a thing , except leaving Reggie's house and the rest was a blur. Why was she there ? Why was she here in the hospital . She tried to get up but her Neck was In a brace and her head was throbbing. She looked down to her arm That had Screws and a cast all over it. She was in so much pain . Her eyes widened to A Man in a White coat entering the room

" Ms. Smith how are you feeling?" He asked

"I-Im fine where is My son?" Ebony spoke in slow motion .

The room began to spin

"Ms.Smith you were in a horrible car accident you flew through your front glass window, The glass tore ligaments in your neck and you broke your arm bone in 4 different places . You have a severe concussion and a few minor cuts and scrapes . You have to stay here at our facilities for a while ,your very lucky to be alive let alone be awake and aware We failed to get in touch with any family members but Your Husband is here" The doctor informed pointing to a man Ebony Recognized . It was Charles

And that's when Ebony remembered . She caught Charles cheating with Regina, who turned out to be Reggie dressed in drag . Her Man was Gay , and she must have sped off after witnessing him and hit something . It was foggy but her memory was there And Seeing his face brought back it all

"This man is not my husband" Ebony exclaimed in a angry tone

The Doctor looked confused and turned to Charles

"Doctor it's okay , she probably doesn't remember but I am let me speak with her for a few minutes and be on my way" Charles said

The Doctor walked out in Agreement

"Ebony , Oh Ebony I'm so sorry. I cant believe you got into a car accident . What the fuck were you doing in Queens anyway? At that time of night? You never been a good fast driver E" Charles spoke sitting at her bedside

Ebony closed her eyes . Picturing Charles with Reggie sending tears down her fluffy cheeks. She opened her eyes and spoke through her tears

" How long were you fucking Reggie"

Charles could have died right then and there . Her words stung , and he couldn't believe she Knew what he'd been trying to hide for quite some time. He couldn't deny it any longer now that she was in the hospital so vulnerable .

" Ebony I can explain"

But before he could finish ebony repeated the Question

"How long were you fucking Reggie"

Charles put his head in his hands and spoke

" 4 months.. Eb I swear I"

Once again Ebony cut him off her voice now raspy

"Why ..Charles.. Why did you do it"

Charles went on by explaining it was an accident after he lost his Job 4 months ago, that very day he went to the bar and got pissy drunk , A tall skinny Woman came up to him and he went back to her place . Only find out waking up it was Reggie, dressed as Regina and they had slept together . Although Charles was devastated he liked the touch of another Man in all actually but He couldn't face his Son like that knowing he rather sleep with another man than His mother..His wife . He was ashamed but allowed his secret life to continue .

Ebony's Chest began to cave in

She had heard enough. The room became blurry and she suddenly couldn't Breathe . Everything went black and last thing she heard was Charles screaming her name .

Charles watched as Doctors ran to Ebony's bedside . She was flatlining

" Oh god, Ohhhhh no God I killed Ebony" Charles cried in Agony.

She dialed his number on her way out to her apartment door that Monday afternoon and prayed for the best

LAILA

 

Puerto Rico was beautiful. The Team landed the property they were trying to invest. Laila and Elijah spent everyday there together , Laying on the beach together, Trying to surf , shopping at the little boutiques The island had and eating all the Wonderful foods. Laila loved every minute with Elijah and while with him she turned her phone completely off to give him all her attention.

" So , when we go back to Work this is all over right" Laila asked walking on the beach the last day of the trip in her yellow bikini feeling the ridge Sand in between her toes .

Elijah was Enjoying the view of her Happy but couldn't help but not want to further their Relationship because of her Situation. These 3 days that passed really made him want her so much more but he wasn't about to fall for a broad in such a mess

" I told you already. I can't do your drama, when you done with that lame lifestyle maybe we could kick of when We go back to work all business igh" Elijah spoke grabbing her hand

“So you that type of nigga huh? Just pretend to care then act like nothing ever happened. When we get back don't even talk to me, just do your job and kick it somewhere else . You just like the Rest" Laila spoke in anger snatching her hand back

Elijah caught an attitude and grabbed her by her waist pulling her in

" Shut the Fuck up, you really don't see a Good thing when It's in your face do you? If you want Me to stop talking to your ass I will! The ball in your Court. I'm just a Player like that other old nigga in the Game"

Elijah snapped and walked off leaving Laila on the Beach. She stood there taking what Elijah said in, he was right again. She was scared of letting someone into her Heart and allowing them to really love her. She was so caught up in her Web of bullshit that she didn't realize Elijah was only trying to Protect himself and her. He didn't want to Be competing with another nigga, trying to win her heart nor get her in more shit than she already was .Laila had no choice but to walk back to the hotel alone .

The team was Packing up headed back to NY later on that day and was back Early that next Tuesday Morning. The employees talked amongst their selves about the trip back at the office but Laila didnt want to stay and look at Elijah any longer, she grabbed her things and headed home. As Laila finally pulled into Her Home driveway and Saw Mikey banging on her door in rage

" What the hell is your problem ? " She yelled closing her car door and running over to him.

He swung wildly causing one of his fist to catch her Cheek . Laila went crazy

" You motherfucker! I'm going to Kill you! I hate you! Put your hands on me again and ima call the Cops on your Junkie Ass" Her hands beating up his back

He turned and snatched her by her pony tail causing her head to jerk back

"Tell your Mama To give me my damn Money bitch, This arrangement ain't cutting it you ain't Giving up no more Pussy! Fuck this shit" Mikey Angrily laughed

Laila was confused. What the fuck was going on

"Nigga I don't know what your talking bout' what my Pussy got to do with Your Money" she Yelled back

Mikey wrapped his arm around her neck and Squeezed causing Laila to gasp for air

"You always been dumb and into yourself since you was younger, You never paid attention to the shit that was Really going On…. While Me and Ebony sat around and got treated like shit You and your Mother got treated like Royalty, Ebony was too damn fat stuffing her face with shit to realize but I wasn’t having it I let my Father in on our little secret way back then Blacked mailed him too, “Cornel Hausley’s Son the Rapest in Affair with his Wife’s 15 year old daughter” Haha.. DON’T SOUND TOO GOOD DOES IT. My father loved his fortune too much so In exchanged for me to keep my mouth shut I needed a piece of Char’s daughters sweet virgin Pussy… and Your mother oh bitch your mother always had a drug problem ive been feeding her this shit for years She basically threw you at me when My father explained our little transation all he had to say was “Millions” and that bitch jumped for Joy " Mikey spoke in a fast pace

“Until They got divorced cus your mother went to heavy on the drugs Cornel was smart enough not to let her ruin our image. When your Mother contacted me 5 years ago with an Even better Bribe, You all grown up with lots of money in the bank ..Money she’d been taking from your ass for a while she payed me, I gave her the drugs and I fucked you we’re all HAPPY baby! BUT THAT BITCH GOT GREEDY STARTED SLACKING OFF SO NOW IMA KILL YOUR ASS”! Mikey screamed at the top of his lungs swinging his arms wildly

Her own mother sold her out for a Lavish lifestyle
