A month later

Adryian sat inside of her clothing store " LUSH boutique " behind the front counter checking her email on her laptop. Today was a slow day and they barely had any costumers, only Keyarri, Aria and one of her employees-Toya were working today.

Keyarri re-stocked a few racks with clothing and Aria swept around with her headphones in, blasting music

The bell on top of the front door rang signaled someone was walking inside the store, everyone looked up but Adryian and Aria. The person that walked in was Kenisha holding a little girl that looked to be about five and another person that looked older than her

" Hi welcome to Lush, if you need any help let me know " Aria smiled setting the broom aside

Kenisha looked around the store with an unimpressed look on her face and the other lady followed her around. Keyarri looked up and her eyes widened, it couldn't be Kenisha she thought to herself. She whistled to Adryian to get her attention, Adryian looked up and Keyarri motioned her to look at Kenisha. Adryian's eye's widened when she saw her. She closed her laptop and quickly stood up, she walked over to Kenisha and cleared her throat to get her attention.

" How can I help you ?"  Adryian asked crossing her arms over her chest.

" I was just looking around " Kenisha replied pulling a shirt a little to look at it, she moved it back and looked up at Adryian " long time no see "

" It's been how many years? ... Don't think I won't fuck you up still " Adryian said. She still held a grudge towards Kenisha and the feeling was very mutual.

" It's something she needs to tell you " Kenisha's mother said

" You got five minutes before I kick y'all out my store " Adryian replied

Kenisha passed her mom the little girl she was holding and pulled out a small stack of papers from out her purse and passed them to Adryian " I just wanted you to know that Kasuan is the father of my daughter Amour " she said, Adryian looked over the papers in shock, it was a birth certificate, DNA test results showing Kasuan was the father and other papers and a few pictures of them all together. She thought Kasuan had been left Kenisha alone. " Im not trying to break up anybody's family or whatever y'all got going on but Kasuan hasn't seen his daughter since before he was sent to jail and now that he's out the least he could do is FaceTime her or come see her, she hasn't seen her daddy in a year and I feel like she should be able to see her other siblings " she added

" I know it's a lot to take in right now but I felt as if you have the right to know " Kenisha's mom said

Adryian's head began to spin, it was just too much to take in, she slowly sat down on a near by chair. Aria listened to the whole thing, she couldn't believe it. Keyarri sat there in shock.

" The only reason I'm telling you this is because at this point you deserve to know... you're too good for him Adryian, you and your kids deserve better " Kenisha said " You've put up with his bullshit long enough and so have I "

" Thank you for telling me all of this " Adryian said trying to remain strong, she would never cry in front Kenisha even though that's all she wanted to do

" I just have one question " Keyarri said to Kenisha

" Yes? "

" Why? " Keyarri asked " why would you fuck around with someone else's man knowing he had a whole family, why would you even let all this build up? All of this could've been avoided, you acting like y'all don't have history "

" Kasuan came to me a few years back.. we've always had a good bond. He told me he wasn't happy and Adryian wasn't doing something right. He told me him and Adryian were having problems anyways and he planned on leaving her so me him and our daughter could be a family "

" He might've told you a lot of things but at the end of the day he was stil going home to Adryian. That's fucked up, and you don't even know it and at this point, before I get mad and put my hands on you ima' ask you to leave " Keyarri said standing up and walking towards the door

Kenisha chuckled " You have my number " she said to Adryian , she stood up " I wish you the best.. hopefully I see you sooner than later " she said before leaving

Keyarri waited until they left and turned around to Adryian " Are you okay ?" She asked sitting next to her

" This whole time key " Adryian said, tears forming in her eyes " ...this whole time "

" Come here baby " Keyarri said pulling her in for a deep hug.

" I wouldn't wish this shit on nobody" Adryian said

Aria sat there in shock, it was so much to take in. Keyarri looked up at Aria " Toya can you call Ms.Paula for me and tell her to come up here and get Aria " she asked

" Okay " toya said getting up and walking over to the phone

Adryian just sat there speechless, she couldn't believe it.

*****

Adryian and keyarri walked into Adryian's house, luckily Kasuan wasn't home and her mom met her there. She walked to the living room and Keyarri and Aria went up the stairs.

" Hey Sehkani, I need you to do me a favor and pack a few things, y'all are staying at your grandma house for a while " Keyarri said standing at the door

Sehkani pulled his headphones out his ear and sat up " What, why?" He asked with a confused look on his face

" Can you just do it please " Keyarri said before walking to KJ's room.

Sehkani was confused but he did what she said and they left with Adryian's mom.

Paula sighed " Are you okay? " she asked, she looked at Adryian, she felt for her daughter

" I'm fine " Adryian lied

" I love you, call me if you need me" she said

" I love you too " she said , she watched her mom drive off before walking back inside the house

An hour later....

Keyarri and Adryian sat in the living room in silence, both sipping on their third glass of wine. Adryian had so much on her mind. They heard the front door open and Keyarri looked up. Kasuan walked into the living room holding three boxes of pizza

" Are the kids sleep already ?" He asked, they both ignored him. He shrugged it off and walked to the kitchen, put the boxes of pizza down on the counter " Sehkani, KJ and Aria " he yelled

" They're not here " Keyarri replied

" Where are they ? " he asked walking back into the living room

" So you just thought I wasn't gone find out ? " Adryian asked looking up at him, she looked broken. Her eyes were puffy from crying and her face was red. He stood there with a confused look on his face

" What are you talking about? "

" I've put up with a lot of your shit Kasuan, for years.. but I can't keep doing this with you " Adryian said "You think you so fucking slick like I just wasn't gone find out you and that bitch Kenisha got a whole baby together " Adryian yelled standing up and getting in his face. " Are you forgetting what happened the last time you cheated on me with her ? "

Kasuan's yes widened and he took a step back, he brushed his hands over his face and took a deep breath " Adryian-

" How the fuck could you do this to me, to us.. to our family " she cried pushing him as hard as she could " you played me like a fool and I trusted you "

" I didn't want to hurt you " he pleaded

"You didn't want to hurt me Kasuan? " she replied with a look of disbelief on her face " ever since I met you, all you have ever done is hurt me... you so selfish, all you do is think about yourself "

" I'm sorry " he said , he honestly didn't know what to say other than that

" I may not be perfect, but this is the thanks I get? This is what you do to me Kasuan ?"

" I'm sorry " Kasuan said grabbing her hand, she snatched away from him " I'm so sorry, I didn't know what to do or how to even tell you..I slipped up, we were at a bad place in our relationship awhile back and I was mad, she was there and I fucked up.. I'm sorry "

" So because you were mad and because we we're in a bad place in our relationship, you think it's okay to cheat on me, lie to me, embarrass and disrespect me ?" She asked

" I swear she ain't mean shit to me Adryian I love you and I only want you " he said trying to bring her in for a hug, she began to fight him off her

" Don't touch me" she yelled pushing him away " you need to get the fuck out my house "

" Your house " Kasuan replied raising an eyebrow " last time I checked this was OUR house "

" One of us is leaving and I swear to god it won't be me "

He sighed " alright, you got it " he said, he knew he had messed up bad and it was no use in trying to talk to her right now. He walked upstairs to their room, packed three bags and left.

She watched him leave and it broke her heart but right now she couldn't stand the sight of him. She closed the door behind him and walked back into the living room. Her and Keyarri made eye contact and she burst out in to tears. Keyarri pulled her in for a hug and comforted her.

" How could he do me like this ?" Adryian cried " I was nothing but good to him "

" Nigga's ain't shit, it's not your fault baby " Keyarri replied rubbing her back, this had been going on for years now and she was tired of it. She loved Kasuan and Adryian together but they were too toxic and she wanted them to do what was best and break up but she knew they would never leave each other alone
