putting it into the safe. Only he knew that he kept that type of money in the house and that was why he hardly let anybody in that room.
    For the following month, Karen kept calling from blocked numbers and threatened Alexandria. The shit got old real fast, so she got a new phone that only her mother, Timmy, and Curtis had the number to. The calls ended, but Karen wasn’t about to stop putting fear in Curtis and Alexandria’s hearts.

    It didn’t take long before Curtis was back on Alexandria’s good side. He was a spoiler, and she and her son were both taken care of. She couldn’t imagine leaving Curtis so that he could have the next bitch laid up fucking and spending all of his money on her. She wasn’t stupid, she just wasn’t ready let go of what he provided. Plus, she loved him dearly, but she vowed if he fucked up again she would take her son and they both would be ghost.
    July 2008 had rolled around and Timmy Jr. was one. Curtis and Alexandria had been together for a little over a year. He was definitely thinking about making her his wife since she had his back for so long. He loved how loyal she was and didn’t trip when it came to him being out all hours of the night to bring money home.
    After dropping Timmy Jr. off with his father, Curtis and Alexandria went on a date. They went out to dinner where he planned to propose to her. He was nervous. Once they ate and Alexandria had dessert, Curtis popped the question and she happily accepted. She jumped up and down, and gave Curtis a big hug. Everybody at the restaurant congratulated them and wished them well. A few older folks even told them that they were a handsome couple.
    Alexandria smiled from ear to ear, and she couldn’t wait to get home and show her man how pleased she was. She couldn’t wait to show off her ring to her friends. It was five carets, princess cut, and wrapped in white platinum.
    When Mike greeted the couple at the car, he opened the door so they could get in and congratulated them as well. Curtis never thought he would be the marrying type, but it was something about Alexandria that made him want to keep her around for a long time.
    Moments later, a car approached them and blocked their car in. Mike didn’t know what was going on, so he got out and went up to the car.
    “Move that shit up outta here, mafucka! I’m about to be out!” he yelled.
    A big, 6’5 nigga got out of the passenger side of the Escalade and punched Mike in his face three times. He fell so fast because the big nigga came out of nowhere and didn’t give Mike a chance to defend himself.
    “What the fuck is going on?” Curtis asked while pulling his gun from his waistband. “Stay right here,” he said to a shocked Alexandria.
    “Be careful, baby.”
    Curtis jumped out of the car and rushed over to the big nigga with his gun cocked. “We got a problem nigga?”
    He didn’t respond, but he backed away from the aim of the gun. Then, a bitch about 5’3 stepped out, and walked over to Curtis and the big nigga. She pointed a gun to Curtis’ face. It was obvious to Alexandria that he knew her.
    “Nigga, I told you to pull the bitch out of the fucking car. You don’t listen for shit!”
    “How the fuck I’m gon’ get at her without handling these niggas first? You get the bitch and I’ll handle this nigga.”
    “Curtis, I bet you thought shit was cool, huh? I told you, you can’t play a bitch like me.” She laughed.
    “Karen, put the fucking gun down. Let’s talk about this shit.”
    “It’s me or that bitch! Choose one!”
    “That’s my wifey, we ready to get married. Just move the fuck on.”
    “Move on? Fuck you, nigga!” She smacked him with the butt of the gun and when Alexandria saw blood drop from his mouth, she jumped out of the car to help him out.
    “What the fuck are you going to do?” Karen said while pulling out a smaller gun and aiming it at
