"Hey Baby, I missed you so much." He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me on my neck.
"I missed you, too. Thanks for staying with the baby while I visited my momma. “I was trying my best not to gut his ass like a fish with the butcher knife I was holding in my hand. His phone began to vibrate letting him know that there was an incoming text. I observed his facial expression as he replied back to the text message. Whoever it was had pissed him off. I assumed it was his supposed to be wife.
"I got to go get up with Malik. I'll be back in a minute." Sarge got up and kissed me on the cheek and left out. As soon as he walked out of the door, I was on that ass. I grabbed my son and I jumped in my car. I was about to follow his ass. In my heart, I knew he was going to meet that bitch.
Barbie and Malik were out having date night, so I knew his bitch ass was lying. Just when you thought your man was a cut above the rest, he turned out to be grimy just like the rest of these no good muthafuckas. I was able to catch up with him, but I made sure to stay a couple of cars behind him. For about thirty minutes, he drove out to a house in Hillside, Illinois. I watched as he got out and walked up to the house and went in with a fucking key.
I parked a couple of houses down and grabbed my son out of the car seat. I knew that I shouldn't have had my son with me, but whoever this bitch was, was about to meet his family. He better be glad I didn't have my gun because I had every intention on shooting his ass. I walked up to the door and listened. I could hear him and the female in a heated argument. I banged on the door and the bitch opened it up.
"Sarge, it's for you." The bitch had the biggest smirk on her face.
"Damn baby. What are you doing here, Ta'Jay?" His ass looked like a deer in headlights.
"No. The question is what the fuck are you doing here and who the fuck is she?"
"I'm, Kenyetta, his wife. You didn't tell your baby momma that you're married?"
"Bitch, shut the fuck up!" Sarge had wrapped his hands around the bitch’s neck. My son started to cry so I knew it was time for me to leave.
"Just wait, Ta'Jay. Please let me explain!"
"There is no need to explain shit to me. However, you can explain it to Thug and Malik!"
I walked away from his ass. All this time I had been on his side and I even went against my family for this nigga. I was willing to leave and go on the run with his ass. I rode back home with a face full of tears and a heart full of hatred. How could Sarge do this shit to me? I asked myself. I looked back at my son and he smiled at me. I had no business letting my son see me in so much pain. I wiped my eyes and headed home. I cut my phone off for the rest of the night. I was in no condition to talk to anyone. I was so embarrassed behind this shit that I decided not to even tell anyone. I was so in love with Sarge that I could have never imagined that love would hurt so badly.
Chapter 6- Sarge
Love Interrupted
Once Ta’Jay and me decided to make it official, I should have told her about Kenyetta. The only reason I never did was because she had been sentenced to thirteen years in prison for drug trafficking. Her ass was released on good behavior four years early. Thug and Malik already knew about Kenyetta and they knew we are married. Back in the day, I fucked with Kenyetta hard. She used to do drug runs for us. Despite working with Momma Peaches, there was still side shit we did to make our pockets fatter. So, that was why Ta'Jay or Peaches knew nothing about her.
Kenyetta got caught driving from Wausau with two birds. She never snitched on us. In the beginning of her sentence, I would go down for visits on a regular. I promised her that one day I would marry her, but I was just blowing smoke up her ass. She asked me to marry her on one of the visits and we did it. The only reason I did it was to make sure she never snitched.
I would be lying if I said that I didn't love her for being a down ass chick, so I held her down just like she held me down when she took that charge for me. Over the years, I just lost touch with her. In a nutshell, Ta'Jay came into the picture and I forgot all about Kenyetta. I actually put it in the back of my mind that I was married. I was not about to lose my family over Kenyetta's ass. First thing Monday morning, I was going to file for a divorce. I had absolutely no feelings for Kenyetta. Kenyetta’s ass was going to have to move on just like I had. All I wanted was Ta'Jay and my son.

"What the hell am I going to do Thug?"
"Nigga I told you to tell Lil Sis when I found out about y'all. You already know Kenyetta be on bullshit,” Thug said as he took a long pull off a blunt.
"Just go home and be a man and make shit right with her."
"Ta'Jay’s ass probably sitting on the couch with her gun waiting for me to walk through the door so she can shoot my ass."
"Hell yeah." Malik laughed, but this shit was no laughing matter.
"Look lets all go to the crib. I feel like we all at fault for this shit. I just hope Ta'Jay will understand. Her ass can hold a grudge. On some real shit, though, I think we need to cancel Kenyetta’s ass. I have a feeling it's about to be some shit," Thug said and we all got up and left to go to my crib. I wasn’t going to even front; I was scared as hell. I didn't want to lose Ta'Jay, but this shit looked all bad on my side. The look on Ta'Jay's face let me know that she was angry and hurt. We pulled up to the house and all of the lights were out, but her car was in the driveway.
"Thug you should go in first and talk to her."
"Nigga, you really scared, huh?" Malik said as he shook his head.
"Shut the fuck up, Malik! Just a minute ago your ass was crying and begging Barbie not to leave you. Both of y'all bring your asses on."
We walked in the house and Ta'Jay was sitting in the dark smoking on a blunt. "Damn Lil Sis, cut some lights on in here." She sat there in silence just blowing smoke rings from her mouth.
"Before y'all get to talking and giving explanations as to why Sarge is married, I don't want to hear shit. Thug and Malik thanks for coming over, but y’all can leave now. Obviously, my big brothers whom I worship knew that my man was married. Where is the loyalty? I swear I wish Peaches were out. She would fuck all y’all up behind this shit.”
"Lil Sis, it isn't even like that just let us explain," Malik pleaded
"The only motherfucker that needs to be explaining some shit to me is Sarge." Thug and Malik just gave up and left. Ta'Jay went upstairs and left my ass standing there looking stupid. As gangster as I was, I felt like a sick puppy behind this shit. I had to get it together and man up to my baby. She meant the world to me and from the sight of things I was about to lose her. I came into the room and she was lying on her back looking up at the ceiling.
"I'm sorry baby. I had to marry Kenyetta. She took a charge for me. I had every intention on telling you when the time was right. Her ass was released early and I just didn't know how to tell you. I have every intention of going downtown and file for a divorce first thing Monday morning."
"Do you love the bitch?"
"At one time I did, but then you came in my life. I love you and my son. Please forgive me, I just didn't know how to tell you."
"I just want you to know that I look at you in a total different light. I don't even know if I can trust you behind this shit. I'm supposed to be the woman who becomes your wife. It hurts to know that you share that with somebody else. How do you think it felt to me for her to throw it in my face that you are her husband?
"I apologize for that. I'm going to do whatever I have to do to build your trust." She pulled the covers up over her and I got undressed and got in the bed with her pulling her close to me. "When I went to see Peaches today she told me that Venom is my father."
"Straight up."
"You knew didn't you?"
"Yeah. Momma Peaches wanted to tell you herself. Don't be mad at me about that."
"I'm not. It just feels good to know that Snake is not my father. I can stop thinking my father was a child molester. Plus, I gained a sister in Tahari. I'll call her and Barbie tomorrow so that we can do
some shopping or something. If you have plans please include your son in them. Make sure you leave your Black Card and the keys to the Bugatti."
"You really about to make me pay for this shit aren’t you?"
"Hell yeah. You just make sure you be at that courthouse filing for divorce bright and early. Until then don't even think about touching me." I knew she was dead ass serious. She didn't even have to worry or question that shit. I was definitely handling my business.

It'd been a month since I filed for divorce from Kenyetta. I paid extra money to expedite the process of it. The shit would be finalized as soon as she signed the papers. This bitch had been dodging my calls and acted like she wasn't home whenever I went over. I was willing to give the bitch twenty thousand dollars just to hurry up and sign, but since she was trying be on bullshit, I wasn’t giving her ass shit and she still going to sign.
I had been sitting inside her house waiting for her ass to pop up. I came in through her patio door. I 'm glad she left it unlocked. I had a key, but I guess the bitch got the locks changed. That bitch was signing these papers tonight. I was ready to sleep in my own bed. Ta'Jay wouldn't let me touch her or even lay next to her and I was tired of jacking off when my woman was in the next room. What type of shit that?
After waiting for about two more hours, she walked through the door. I scared the shit out of her ass when she flicked the lights on and saw me on her couch smoking a blunt with my nine on my lap.
"What the fuck are you doing in my house, Sarge?"
"Shut the fuck up, Bitch! This the shit I have to do just to get you to sign some fucking divorce papers."
"Did it ever occur to you that I might not want a divorce?"
"I really don't give a fuck what you want. All I know is that I have moved on and you need to do the same." I watched as the tears started to fall and that was the last thing I wanted her to do. In reality, I really did love her, but that was years ago.
"It's crazy how I just did eight fucking years straight for you. Do you have any idea what I went through in there? I could have easily got out by snitching on not only you, but the crew, as well. I loved you too much to ever go that route. My mother died when I was locked up. She was all I had in this world besides you. Now you want to throw me away like we don't have history. All this for some young ass bitch, who can't even satisfy you like I can."
"How she satisfies me is not an issue or any of your damn business. I'm sorry shit has to end like this, but I have moved on. Let's keep it one hundred this shit was over years ago. I kept my end of the bargain and kept money on your books. Let's not forget who brought you this house. Can you please just sign the fucking papers?” Her ass was starting to get on my nerves acting like we had been a happy ass couple.
"What happens if I don't sign?" As soon as the words left her mouth I cocked the hammer back on my gun. As soon as she heard the click, I slid the papers and a pen across the table. I dared her ass to keep playing with me I was going to leave her ass stanking in her living room.
"I never thought in a million years you would do this to me," Kenyetta said as tears fell down her face. She hurriedly signed the papers and pushed them back across the table towards me." Now, get the fuck out of my house!"
I left the bitch’s house gladly because I had to hurry up and get home to my baby. Being in the damn doghouse wasn't nothing nice. As soon as I walked inside the house, I handed her the signed divorce papers. She looked at them and folded them back up and handed them to me. I pulled her in close, but she pushed my ass away.
"It don't mean shit that you got these papers signed. I'm still pissed and highly upset with your ass."
"What can I do to get out of the doghouse? I miss sleeping next you, Ma. I'll do anything what can I do to make you feel better." I held on to her waist tight as hell.
"Diamonds make me feel real good."
"Tiffany's it is!"
Chapter Seven- Thug
It's a Hard Knock Life
Over the last couple of weeks, all of my traphouses had been raided. My operation was so under the radar that I knew it was some inside shit going on. We had never had a problem with snitching until I brought on these little young niggas. It was imperative that I found out who the fuck was behind this shit ASAP. Sarge and Malik have had their ear to the street, as well.
They had never let me down, so I knew they would give me the information I needed. It was lights out for whoever the fuck it was. It was a good thing we already had more money than we knew what to do with because if we didn't, we would be fucked up behind shutting the traps down like this. We had no other choice, though.
They had to remain shut down until the police backed off. My other concern in the streets was dealing with Venom and Cassie. I still had my private detective keeping an eye out for me in Miami and I was doing the same here. They were hiding good as hell. For the sake of my wife, I hoped that they stayed that way.
***
Being at home more gives me the opportunity to see just how good Tahari was with my kids. She loved them as if they were her own and they loved her, too. My son was so shy and mild mannered that he reminded me of how Malik was as a child. I have had thoughts that maybe he was molested, but he assured me that no one had ever touched him inappropriately.
After seeing your siblings go through that shit and not even know it, it was easy to see the warning signs now. Since I had nothing but time on my hands, I decided to take the whole family to Wisconsin Dells for the week. I needed to get my wife and my kids out of the damn house; something simple just to have fun with the kids and my nephew.
"Are you ready to go Tahari? I'm trying to beat the damn traffic." Tahari had all week to get ready and decided to pack the day that we are leaving.
"I need to make sure we have everything. While you're standing there you could be helping me instead of complaining and shit."
"I'm not helping you do shit. You should have been packed when I told you we were leaving."
Two hours later, we were on the road. It's been so long since I just drove on the highway. I was on the airplane so much I forgot how beautiful it was to just drive and take in all the sights. It actually felt good to just take in the scenery. I looked over at Tahari and as usual she was on her Kindle Fire. I think her ass would go crazy if she didn't have that thing. I love that she loved to read. Reading was fundamental and some of these hoes couldn’t even formulate a sentence.
Lately, I had been thinking about her going back to school. I wanted to see her in college bettering herself. I loved the fact that she had taken on the mother role and was performing her wifely duties to keep me happy and satisfied, but on the other hand, Tahari needed to do something that will benefit her and give her a reason to be proud of herself. Yeah, she had the finer things in life fucking with me, but she needed to have her own thing going. You never knew what might happen.
"What you reading, Ta-Baby?"
"A Thug's Wife By Shan
"I thought you read that already?"
"The next installment is coming out soon, so I went back from the beginning because I want to be caught up."
"Well hurry up and read because this week is all about us. I'm going to need your full attention."
"You want my full attention, huh?" I watched as Tahari went inside her purse and pulled out her MAC lip-gloss that I loved her to wear.
"Baby, have you ever had head on the highway?" Tahari leaned over in my seat and unzipped my pants. She took my dick and placed in her hot, wet mouth. I looked down as her shiny lips glided up and down my shaft.
"Ta-Baby, you gone make a nigga crash with that million dollar mouth." I grabbed her head and pushed it further into my lap. The moaning and slurping sounds she was making had me going crazy. I had no other choice, but to pull over. If I didn't, we were definitely going to crash. It was a good thing the kids wanted to ride with Ta'Jay.
"Aarrgh." I grunted as my seeds shot down her throat. Tahari continued to suck until she had su
cked me dry. She rose up and grabbed some napkins from the glove compartment and dabbed her mouth. It amazed me how she never smeared her lip-gloss when she gave me head.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Tahari said as she gave me that million dollar smile that I loved so much."
"I can't look at my wife now?"
"It's not that. It's just that when you look at me like that I know you have something on your mind. I know it's not sex because I just drained you. So, you're good for about an hour or two. What's up?"
"Do you ever think about going back to school?"
"Not really."
"I want you to go and enroll back in school. It's imperative for you to get your education. I don't want you to get caught up with me and not better yourself. When we get back home, I want you to enroll in school."
"Okay. I'll look into some G.E.D programs that's close to the house, so that you won't be worried."
For the next couple of days we all chilled and just enjoyed each other's company. Malik and Sarge cooked for us all week. The kids had a ball. Tahari, Ta'Jay, and Barbie had more fun than the kids and us. They really needed to get away and I was glad that we came. I tried to enjoy myself as best that I could, but the fact remained the same there was shit back at home fucking with my money.
"Baby, can we please stay a couple of more days?" Tahari pleaded as she packed our clothes up.
"I wish we could, Ta-Baby, but I have to get back to my money."
"Well let me stay a couple of more days with kids."
"That's a definite no. You're going home end of discussion."
For the rest of the ride home, Tahari was quiet and real short with me when I tried to talk to her. I didn't care, though. She needed to enroll in school and I needed to open my traps back up. I didn't have time for her attitude. I didn't even know why she would even ask me could she stay behind. That was a no out the gate.
