He Knew Me Too Well

BRIELLE

My eyes were so puffy from crying, I didn’t know how I was going to show up to the party that evening.

Even though I promised myself that I wouldn’t cry over Kannon again, the pain was just too much to bear. I kept thinking about the five years of my life I spent being a good woman to him, giving him everything, helping him through school.

Had he stayed with Draya, there was no telling where he would’ve ended up. Probably in prison—where he was on his way to before I stepped in.

While I laid in bed sulking over my failed engagement, everyone else ran through the house excited for the party that evening. I felt like I was in a madhouse, and I was the only one losing my sanity.

The kids—Felicia, Michael, and James—were screaming and shouting as they chased each other through the long hallways.

My mom ran back and forth shouting demands to the housekeepers and event planners. And my dad—my poor dad—he was busy making sure everyone knew their roles before his team showed up.

I had

  • Engagement Party From Hell   Sex In The Air

    DRAYAI started to wonder why I didn’t hear any commotion between Kannon and Brielle. Until I saw him pacing the pool house floor like a psycho.His shirt was off, and he was wearing a pair of running shorts that showed more than they should have in public. Then again, Kannon was a soldier, and the cannon he carried was too big to hide in anything.Instead of going down early for the party and at least trying to get along with my family while I was home, I snuck out of my wing of the house and took the breezeway to the pool house. That way Aunt Judy’s nosey ass didn’t see me and make a big deal of me checking on Kannon.I tapped lightly on the door.He was in the middle of a phone call when he answered—surprised to see me standing there.I was wearing a black Chanel dress that hugged my body in a perfect way, and heels that you would probably only see in the strip club, but he didn’t seem to mind.He even hung up the phone and stepped aside to let me in.“Brielle got you living it up

  • Engagement Party From Hell   Too Much To Lose

    KANNONI thought about the way I left Brielle before my jog and wanted to apologize when I got back.But when I saw Monty coming out of her room and her trailing behind him with a smile on her face, that shit boiled my blood because I knew how much he meant to her.The last time I saw him, we were at each other’s throats because, once again, Percy had my hands tied behind my back.The artist Monty had to sue for his royalties was somebody Percy hooked him up with, and when business went bad, that artist ran to Percy for leverage.I couldn’t tell Monty that because my hands were tied. So, all that time he was mad at me thinking I went behind his back. When really, it was his beloved wanna-be-step father.“Brielle,” I called out to her before they got too far up the hall.She stopped when she heard my voice, but she didn’t turn around right away.Monty turned around first, and he must’ve said something I couldn’t hear from where I stood, because Brielle tapped his wrist like she was kee

  • Engagement Party From Hell   Messy Runs In The Family

    KANNON:“Aunt Judy, what’s going on with ya?”“Ooh, you know ... Just calling to check on my nephew-in-law. What’s going on with you?”It was good to hear from Aunt Judy, even though her call came as a surprise.I figured Brielle told her to ask me about coming to her engagement party because she knew how much I loved Aunt Judy and couldn’t say to ‘no’ to her. But that wasn’t it. Aunt Judy was just being Aunt Judy.“I’m doing alright. The industry keeping me busy,” I said.“Too busy to come to your girls’ engagement party this weekend?”“You think you slick,” I chuckled. “Is that what this phone call is about?”“Nah…Nah. I got something else I wanna talk to you about too. But that was number one.”The seriousness in her tone put me on high alert.I knew Aunt Judy was a heavy drinker and made a lot of things sound more serious than they were sometimes, but there was something in her voice that grabbed my attention.“Everything good?” I asked. “Or ya’ll over there fighting already?”“Yo

  • Engagement Party From Hell   Draya Did It

    BRIELLE:Brunch didn’t end fast enough that afternoon.I was happy for my dad and all, but I wanted to be as far away from Draya and Kannon as possible.I didn’t like the looks they gave each other; I didn’t like the energy between them. I didn’t like not knowing what they were thinking, but knowing they were thinking something.It was no secret that Draya and Kannon were a thing before I started dating him.It’s messy, I know. But let him tell it, their relationship didn’t get off the ground before he made a move on me.Sometimes, I wanted to believe everything he said about them. But somewhere in my gut I knew the truth.There were even times when I felt like he was still seeing her. I just didn’t have the guts to confront him about it.Nor did I have proof.“Knock-knock.”I rolled my eyes at the sound of my mother’s voice. Not because I was upset with her, I just didn’t feel like being bothered while trying to make sense of what I knew was the truth.But she came into my room anywa

  • Engagement Party From Hell   Split Decisions

    KANNON:Draya was finer than a motherfucker.I hadn’t seen her in person since we broke up officially, and that was a little after we graduated law school — something Brielle didn’t know.Brielle had actually introduced us because she thought we would make a good fit.I thought so too at first. But Draya got toxic and too clingy, and me confiding in Brielle led to us sparking an unexpected flame that just wouldn’t die out.I couldn’t believe it when she quit her dad’s firm and moved to London to start fresh.I know why she did it, and I hated it for a while. But the more time I spent with Brielle, the more I forgot about Dray’.Truth be told, the only reason I kept things going with Brielle was because she reminded me of Draya.If I had the time and energy to deal with Draya breaking all my shit and trying to cause problems between me and my clients, I would’ve gone back to her and let Brielle go...maybe.But as the years passed and Brielle’s softness grew on me, it got harder to walk
