Chapter 15: Devy
Waking up to strong arms around me was a familiar feeling. I relaxed for a moment and enjoyed the feeling until I realized the arms that were making me feel so safe at the moment did not belong to my Sterling. They belonged to my Kadeer. My Kadeer, I thought to myself.
It could have been the wine or the high from my orgasm talking when I agreed to give things with Kadeer a go, but I knew I couldn't back out because Brena would kill me, and Kadeer had already proven that he wasn't going down without a fight. No matter how much I tried to

“OK, Mr. Roman. We’re finished here. The process may take a while, so expect to hear back from us within a few months,” the friendly loan officer informed me. “OK, sounds great. I’m looking forward to hearing from you,” I replied, returning the smile as I shook her hand. “Have a nice day,” she said.

I felt like Kadeer’s girls being taken away was my fault. I felt so guilty that I tried to break up with him again, but he was not having it. Kadeer assured me that I was not to blame for Skylar’s childish behavior. I still felt bad and wanted to do everything in my power to help him. I just didn’t know what that was yet, but it was sure to be good. I couldn’t fathom going a day without my kids, so I knew Kadeer was going out of his mind. “Dr. Parks?” I heard, Dr. Cherry Moreau, head of the English department, call out my name. I was in my office, getting settled

Meeting Devyn’s father and brother for the first time under those circumstances was not what I intended. At the end of the day, I had to put my pride to the side and do what was best for my girls. I was just thankful that Devyn’s family was willing to work with me financially. Once everything settled down, I planned on making sure they had their money. As I pulled up on Skylar’s street, I parked a few houses down from Skylar’s house. It was the day she was going to get served, and I wanted to witness it. I wasn’t trying to be petty. With everything that had been going on, I needed to be sure that she actual

Kadeer was on his way back from North Carolina, and I was livid. I did not know how Skylar knew he was heading out there, but when he told me about the scene she caused in front of the girls, my blood started to boil. I knew it would be at least a day before he would get back to Louisiana because he was driving, but I couldn’t wait to see him. Am I starting to have real feelings for Kadeer? I didn’t have time to process my feelings because my phone was begging for my attention. I looked at the screen, and it was m

Kala coming to me with such a big issue warmed my heart. I had yet to go through getting a period with my own daughters, so doing it for Kala would be perfect practice and a great bonding experience. Our first interaction wasn’t the best, so I was honored that she came to me for something so important. Part of me felt bad that she couldn’t share the experience with her own mother, but she needed some there at that moment. I just happened to be that person. I wasted no time heading to Walmart to pick up the necessary items needed for a young girl’s first period. I also got the items to make my

Starting over was hard to do. As much as I would have loved to have stayed in Arlington, Virginia, but the lifestyle I was once afforded by being a colonel’s wife could no longer be supported by my income alone. Sterling, my husband, was the love of my life. He was everything a woman could have hoped for in a man. He was kind, smart, and a terrific provider for me and our five kids. I was content with the life we had built with each other, but life had other plans for us.&nbs

My eyes shot open as I was awakened by the constant ringing of my phone. Usually, I was a light sleeper, but I had been dog tired lately with everything going on at work. Being a foreman at a construction site, I made decent money. Unfortunately, I was putting in long hours. So for the past few weeks, I was really operating off of four or five hours of sleep. I wasn’t complaining about it, though. Everything I did was for my five, beautiful daughters and also to work toward my goal of owning a construction company.Without even looking at my phone, which was lying on the nightstand, I already knew it was my ex-wife, Skylar, who was
