Ana scans over the car keys hanging from the hooks in the kitchen. She had four cars to choose from since Adonis had taken the Lamborghini. She decides to take the Mercedes G-Wagon and heads for the front door after grabbing the keys.

Adonis had given her his credit card so she could grab groceries and entertain herself for the day. She opted out of asking Rayn to tag along and decides to call Mariah instead. As she drives into the city, she dials up her best friends number.

"Hello?"

"Um, is this Mariah?"

"Anastassia!? Is that you?" Mariah ask through the receiver.

"Yes, yes it's me!" Ana responds excitedly.

"Oh my goodness! How are you? Where the hell are you?"

"I'm fine, I'm back home now... I'm driving into the city now."

"That's great! Meet me at the new coffee shop on 39th. I'll text you the directions!"

"Okay."

Ana ends the call and puts the address into her GPS once Mariah sends it. As she pulls up to the coffe shop her phone rings. Looking down she she's Adonis's name pop up on the screen.

"Hello?"

"Where you at butterfly?"

"I'm at this coffee shop grabbing some coffee before I head to the grocery store."

"You alone?"

Ana bites into her bottom lip and thinks back to him letting her know Hood would watch after her when he wasn't able to. Her nerves begin to set in as she looks around the parking lot.

"Yes, I'm alone right now."

"Didn't want Rayn talking your ear off today huh?" Adonis chuckles which eases her nerves a little.

"It's not that." Ana giggles. "I just wanted to do this on my own, I'm going back home after the grocery store anyway."

"Aight, well I was just checking on you. I'll be home around 8. I love you baby."

"I love you too." Ana responds as she steps out of the car.

Adonis ends the call and she lets out a sigh of relief. Looking around her to make sure she couldn't spot Hood anywhere one more time she makes her way into the coffee shop. After ordering a white chocolate mocha latte she takes a seat at one of the booths in the back.

Waiting just a few minutes the door opens and she looks up to see a light skinned woman with jet black straight hair smiling and walking toward her.

"Hi Ana!" Mariah speaks while holding her arms out for hug.

Ana stands and hugs her back. Unlike with Rayn, Mariah had a welcoming aura and something was comforting about her. She felt she could really trust Mariah.

"Hi."

The women sit down in the booth and Mariah smiles over at her with tears in her eyes.

"I was so worried about you Anastassia. Adonis wouldn't tell me what hospital you were at or how you were doing. For all I knew you could've been dead."

"Why is he like that with you?"

"I don't know. He's a little controlling and didn't like the fact that I would tell you when he was wrong. I encouraged you to leave him more than once over the course of your relationship with him. I damn near begged you not to marry that man."

Ana furrows her brows and sips her drink.

"Why didn't you want me to marry him?" Ana questions.

Mariah looks over at her and raises her eyebrow.

"Did you lose your memory or something?" Mariah jokes with a laugh.

"I actually did." Ana responds with a nervous chuckle.

"Oh my God. I didn't know that at all!" Mariah speaks with tears in her eyes.

"It's part of the reason why I wanted to talk to you. Since I've been home over the past few days I've only seen Adonis and his sister... oh and some guy named Hood."

"Ugh, I cannot stand Rayn. She's not as nice as puts off all the time."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but I'll let you find out on your own since the two of you were close friends."

"Tell me what my marriage was like with Adonis?"

"Adonis is controlling and manipulative in my opinion. Of course I don't know all the in's and out's of your marriage but I've seen a few red flags."

"Like?"

"This one year we were all going out for your birthday, we had a limo and everything for you. He purposefully started an argument with you ruining your night to the point where you ended up leaving early because he wouldn't stop blowing your phone up threatening you. When we all did actually go out together you weren't allowed to dance, you would sit next to him like a puppy and only do as he said when he said so."

Ana furrows her brows again, she couldn't see herself actaully being that woman for any man.

"No way... how on earth did he get me to be that woman?"

"Like I said, I don't know. He had some kind of spell over you I swear."

Ana nods slowly and bites into her cheek. Adonis was intimidating but she never thought he would treat her that way.

"Did he ever hit me?"

"Not that I know of. You never came to me and told me anything like that before."

Sighing in relief she sips her hot coffee and changes the subject. She wasn't sure how she was going to confront Adonis, but she did want the truth.

After grabbing groceries she head back to the home and unloads everything. Sitting out by the pool she grabs her phone and dials her mothers number. after ringing for awhile Ana hangs up the phone and tosses it next to her. She wasn't sure if her if her mother didn't answer because she didn't recognize the number or because she knew it was her. Ana could remember that her mother wasn't pleased with her moving away with Adonis, but their relationship after that was all a blur. Feeling overwhelmed again she begins to cry silently to herself.

Gaining her memory back was harder and more confusing than she imagined it to be.

After her hot shower Ana heads into the bedroom where Adonis was having a heated conversation with someone on the phone.

"Nah... you tell that nigga I need my fucking money tomorrow or ima be at his doorstep with a pistol... I gave him plenty of time now he just playing with me... yeah aight Hood... handle it before I do." He ends the all and takes a long hit of the cigarette before turning to  face Ana.

"How was your day?" Adonis ask.

"It was fine... nothing spectacular."

Adonis nods and grabs his boxers and a t shirt from the closet before reemerging.

"See any old friends?" He ask with a raised brow as he steps in front of her.

Ana pauses and looks down at her nails. She knew she was caught.

"I saw Mariah at the coffee shop..."

"Oh really? You ran into her there or y'all met up there?"

"I called her. My old contacts popped up on my phone so I called her and she wanted to meet up."

Adonis nods and changes into his underwear and t shirt in silence. Ana could feel he wasn't happy with her seeing Mariah and was waiting to see what he was going to do next.

"Anastassia... I'm really trying to be patient with you. But baby, if I say I don't want you talking to somebody I mean just that." Adonis speaks while keeping his eyes on hers.

"You never said you didn't want me speaking to her. You told me you didn't care for her. That's not the same thing." Ana responds.

"If I say I don't fuck with somebody then neither do you. You're my fucking wife you do what I say!" Adonis shouts.

The bass in his voice made Ana jump a little before nodding slowly. She knew that him wanting her to stay away from Mariah had more to do with him just not liking her.

"I- I'm sorry." Ana mumbles.

"Make sure that shit don't happen again because next time I won't be so fucking nice." Adonis responds before leaving her alone in the bedroom.

Ana takes a seat on the edge of their king sized bed. Mariahs words begin to replay in her mind about Adonis being controlling and she can see that she had just gottten a glimpse of what she was talking about.

The next morning Ana wakes up to an empty home. The remainder of the previous night Adonis ignored her and made it clear he wasn't interested in speaking to her. Ana didn't push it instead turning into bed early, without speaking another word to him.

She helps herself to breakfast and lays out on the couch watching tv.

"Ana!" Rayn shouts as she closes the front door behind her.

Ana sits up and stands to  meet Rayn in the kitchen.

"Hey Rayn. What are you doing here?"

"I always just come by. I don't have anything to do most days and neither do you so we spend the days together. I brought lunch for us so we can watch our favorite shows and catch up. Might as well do what we normally do to help your memory come all the way back."

Ana nods and gives her a soft smile even though she didn't too much wanna be bothered with her right now. Rayn seemed a little over bearing and Ana could r figure out how she had put up with her before now. After placing the burgers and fries on to plates they head into the living room and Rayn picks out which show they would be watching together.

"Do you feel like you're getting better? Remembering anything?"

"No, not remembering stuff per say. But I do have a question."

"Shoot." Rayn responds turning to face Ana.

"Has Adonis always been like moody? Sometimes anything I say to him can trigger him and he's a different person. Annoyed with me or ignoring me because I upset him.

Rayn sits in silence for a moment and bites into the inside of her cheek. Ana sits not taking her eyes off Rayn waiting for her to answer her question.

"He's always been a little on edge Anastassia. But, he loves you deeply. The only thing I ask is that you're patient with him just as he's being with you."

"Why would I need to be patient with him? Was he in a coma for almost three months? Did he lose most of his memory? Does he depend on his spouse to tell him each and everything he needs to know?"

"No, he didn't." Rayn responds quietly.

"Okay, then I'm trying to figure out what I'm being patient for." Ana responds annoyed.

She was beginning to feel like they were hiding sometimes from her. The only person she believed right now was Mariah for some reason, her intuition wasn't letting her believe Rayn right now.

"Look. I understand you might be a little upset but these are questions you should ask Adonis. It's not my place to butt into your marriage with him."

Ana narrows her eyes at Rayn and nods before turning back to face the tv. Growing tired of asking questions and coming up short, Ana decides to give up asking Rayn anything else. It was clear she was team Adonis.

Ana brushes her freshly flat ironed hair one more time before applying a coat of gloss. She stands from the vanity inside their large walk in closet and straightens out her silk dark green dress before taking one last look at herself.

"I look good." Ana smiles.

She turns on her heels and heads down the stairs where Adonis was placing his black jean jacket on to his shoulders. He looks up at her and smiles.

"Damn. Come here."

Ana blushes and walks over to where he was standing. He wraps his arms around her and holds her close inhaling her YSL perfume.

"You look good butterfly. I almost don't wanna let you out the house tonight."

"Please! Come on, I haven't been anywhere with music and drinks since I came home two weeks ago." Ana pouts.

Adonis rolls his eyes annoyed with the pouting she always did to get her way with him.

"You always pouting. You know I hate that shit, come on let's go before I change my mind and lock you in the bedroom until the sun comes up."

Ana giggles and nods before following out the front door behind her husband. Tonight the couple were going to a club to hang out with some of his friends and Rayn. Ana would rather had Mariah there with her but Adonis had made it clear he didn't want her having anything to do with her old friend.

That didn't stop Ana from talking to her on the phone every now and then though.

"You plan on drinking tonight?" Adonis ask as they pull up to a stop light.

"Maybe one or two. Not a lot. I don't even know if I like to drink. Do I like to drink?"

"Yeah you do. I have to keep you in check with it sometimes." Adonis responds as he pulls off from the light.

"Dang... it's that bad?"

"It's not bad baby. You just like to get drunk, I just make sure you don't get outta control drunk that's all."

Ana nods and sits back enjoying th rest of their ride together in a comfortble silence. Adonis drives fast as he types away at his phone engaged in some sort of text conversation with someone as he parks their car.

"Who are you texting?" Ana questions curious about who her drug dealer husband was texting.

She knew he was smart enough not to do business over a text.

Adonis looks over at her and raises his eyebrow.

"You don't trust me?"

"I'm only asking because you've been texting since we left the house. I just wanna know who you're talking to that has you so occupied." Ana shrugs.

"Don't worry about it baby. Ain't nobody cheating on you."

Ana rolls her eyes and looks out the car window causing Adonis to chuckle.

"That attitude is making my dick hard. Keep on I'll turn this fucking car around, drag yo ass back home and fuck you until that pretty pink pussy turns red." He responds calmly before opening his car door and stepping out.

He opens her car door and interlocks their fingers as they make their way toward the entrance of the club. Ana couldn't remember ever feeling jealous or not trusting Adonis but as usual something was telling her to keep her eyes open for who he was talking to and what they were talking about.

They enter the VIP area and the only people she recognizes are Hood and Rayn.

Rayn waste no time running over to Ana and hugging her tightly.

"You look so beautiful tonight." She speaks over the loud music.

"Thanks! So do you." Ana responds admiring her outfit choice for the night.

A black skin tight dress and bright red heels. It wasn't Ana's cup of tea but if Rayn liked it she loved it.

"Go enjoy yourself with Rayn, I'll be over here." Adonis whispers into her ear. "Don't get too ahead of yourself tonight baby, remember who you belong to."

Ana nods and bites into her bottom flip as Adonis walks away taking a seat next to Hood and a few other men. Rayn drags her across the section to a smaller couch with a table in front of it filler with bottomed of liquor in pitchers for them to choose from.

"Alright! Let's get fucked up and have some fun shall we?" Rayn speaks with a devious smile on her face.

She pours up two shots of 1800 and hands one over to Ana. Ana inhales the liquor and turns her nose up, it smelled way too strong.

"It was your favorite. I know the smell is off putting but try it out, I promise you'll love it."

Ana sighs and nods before gulping down the shot. It burned on its way down but it wasn't horrible. Five shoes later they're singing along to the music without a care in the world. Ana could actually tolerate Rayn when she wasn't talking her ear off.

"Let's dance!"

"I don't think Adonis wants me to dance." Ana responds.

"Oh not that again. Come on I'll handle my brother later."

Before Ana can object Rayn has her small hand in hers and the ladies are on their way out of the VIP section and down the steps to the main dance floor. Ana allows her body to move to the beat of the music, slow and sensually. Not paying mind to any of the people around her she dances sigh Rayn cheers her on. Once the song ends the ladies end up at the bar where they have two more shots.

After downing the shot Ana feels a tap on her shoulder.

"Hey Ana!" Mariah exclaims before pulling her into a hug.

"Oh my goodness, hi!" Ana smiles feeling the liquor course through her veins.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here with Adonis and some of his friends... oh and Rayn." Ana giggles while pointing to Rayn who stood behind her with a fake smile on her face.

Mariah returns the fake smile before focusing back on her friend.

"I'm surprised her let you out the house. He never wanted you out before and you're drinking AND dancing. I saw that little show you put on there back on the dance floor.

Ana blushes, she hadn't realized people were actaully watching her.

"Well Don has changed Mariah. You wouldn't know that since he doesn't fuck with you." Rayn chimes in to defend her brother.

"Yeah, he doesn't fuck with me because I'm the only one who tries to get Ana away from his crazy ass."

"Bitch don't talk about my brother like that."

"It's the truth and if you loved Anastassia like you say you do you would r want her with me either!" Mariah shouts over the music.

Ana steps between her two friends trying to defuse the situation before it went too far.

"Calm down guys." Ana slurs feeling as though she was going to puke at any moment. She takes a deep breath as the two of them continue to argue back and forth.

"You don't know shit about him for real! You only think you do. Honestly I think you're just jealous because he picked Ana to be his woman over you. Or did you forget how you use to throw yourself at him before he laid his eyes on Ana?"

Ana furrows her brows and looks over at Mariah who stood silent.

"Oh nothing to say now. Tell Anastassia how bad you wanted the dick but he wouldn't give it to you because you're a ho!" Rayn shouts. "Even tried to fuck him on their wedding night, Adonis told me about that one too."

"What?" Ana finally speaks.

"She's lying I would never do that to you Ana." Mariah responds.

"Please, why would Adonis lie about that?"

"Because he's a piece of shit!"

"Don't talk about my husband like that Mariah." Ana speaks feeling defensive.

"I'm sorry Ana hit he's not good for you! I want you to listen to me and please leave him alone."

"Leave who alone?" Adonis speaks as he approaches the arguing ladies.

Ana and Rayn fall silent under his intense glare while Mariah rolls her eyes.

"You! You know who you really are and what you did to Ana!"

Adonis waves Mariah off and grabs Ana's hand snatching her small frame into his chest.

"The fuck did I tell you Anastassia?"

"I-I..." before she can gather her words she throws up next to him on the dance floor.

Adonis sighs roughly and tosses her small body over his shoulder.

"Stay the fuck away from my wife. Rayn, I'll hit you up later." Adonis speaks before turning and heading for the exit with a weak Ana.

"Pu-put me down Don... I can walk fine."

"Shut the fuck up." Adonis responds before slapping her ass hard.

Once they reach the car he places her on her feet and opens the car door. Ana looks up at him again his face still held the same glare it did back inside the club. Sighing Ana slides into the car where Adonis slams the car door before hopping into the drivers side and speeding off.

"Baby... slow down." Ana slurs as he weaves in and out of traffic.

Adonis ignores her and drives faster toward their home.

"Dont be mad at me... she came over to me." Ana speaks timidly.

"Anastassia... for yo safety I suggest you sit there and shut the fuck up." Adonis responds coldly.

Ana sniffles and does as he suggested. A few minutes pass and they pull up to a home she wasn't use to seeing over the past few weeks. Adonis
