wouldn’t say that.”
    “Why?”
    “Because that makes everything much more complicated.”
    “I thought once we got Aaliyah exonerated we could be a family again and get our lives back to normal. Who knew clearing her name would destroy any chance of that,” I said, shaking my head. “All because of Chantal’s crazy ass. It’s wasn’t enough she set my daughter up but she needed to take me down with her.”
    “I was certain that Aaliyah didn’t kill anybody but never in a million years did I think Chantal was the real killer.”
    “And all because of her sick obsession with Lorenzo. Did you know they were seeing each other?”
    “No I didn’t. But Lorenzo is very private when it comes to his personal life. I believe the only reason he spoke to me about you was because the relationship got serious and he had his reservations because of the Nico factor.”
    “Nico,” I sighed, reflecting on the harsh words we exchanged. “Nico seems to believe that he deserves an explanation. Supreme is my husband and Nico is the father of my oldest child. Yes, because of our history I’ll always have love for Nico and respect him for being Aaliyah’s dad but he tried to crucify me today.”
    “I’ve known Nico for a very long time now. We’re not only business partners but also he’s one of my closest friends and I believe he always thought you all would get back together someday. It’s easier for him to accept you’re married to Supreme and a certain loyalty comes with that but to find out about Lorenzo, it crushed him. I knew it would and that’s why I never told him about it.”
    “That had to be difficult for you. I mean I know you’re close to both of them.”
    “It is. Lorenzo is a good man. Like myself, he’s been dealt a lot of tough blows in life but he soldiers through them. To be honest with you, Precious, I was hoping it would be nothing more than a fling between the two of you and both of you would move on, that way nobody would get hurt. But this is a nightmare come true. No matter what happens between you and Lorenzo the damage is done.”
    “I know,” I admitted putting my head down. “The only thing that makes it worth it is that my baby is coming home. If it took Chantal airing out my dirty deeds to set Aaliyah free then so be it.”
    “True indeed. I hate what happened to Aaliyah. You’re going to have to be patient with her, Precious. After spending all those months in jail I hope you realize that she’ll never be the same again.”
    “What do you mean?”
    “I spent the majority of my teenage years locked up in a juvenile facility and it stole my innocence. Aaliyah has been in prison for months for a crime she didn’t commit surrounded by real criminals. That would harden anybody.”
    “You’re so right and every time I think about that all this anger that’s built up inside of me just wants to explode. All I want to know is at what point did Chantal and Justina begin conspiring together. I believe they both belong in jail.”
    “And they could both very well end up there although I’m sure T-Roc will do everything in his power to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
    “After that show Chantal put on in the courtroom T-Roc should handcuff her himself and personally deliver her to the women’s prison facility.”
    “T-Roc and I go way back and I know how he moves. Trust me, he’s already been on the phone with the best criminal attorney in the state of New York who’s advising him on what to do next.”
    “Chantal admitted to shooting Sway Stone and her own daughter because in her sick mind she wanted to prove her love for Lorenzo and punish me. Why would T-Roc waste a dime trying to get her off?”
    “In a nutshell . . . ego. Chantal has embarrassed him enough. T-Roc is not going to allow it to continue.”
    “If T-Roc knows what is good for him, he’ll make sure Chantal goes to jail and stays there. Because if he gets that nutcase off I’m putting her on the same list
