DIONNAH'S POVThe next couple of days were weird between Michael and me. I slept in my daughter's room and the only time we spoke was if it was about Kehlani. I noticed that Michael wasn't sleeping in our room either, in fact, he wasn't sleeping at all. "Good morning," I said as I brought Kehlani down for breakfast.Michael was the one who made breakfast but I wasn't in the mood for any. I hadn't been feeling well since the following morning. I would get these slight headaches and get sick at the slightest scent. "Good morning Dionnah, good morning Lani bear," Michael said before kissing Lani. "Dada," Lani said and I smiled."Can you please give her breakfast? I have to go get ready for work.""Aren't you going to have something to eat?" "No. I'm fine. Just ensure that Kehlani eats hers," I told him."Okay," he said then I left the room.That's one thing I loved about Michael. He knew how to give me the space I needed.

DIONNAH'S POVAfter bringing me to the hospital to ensure that I was okay, Michael insisted that I went to the police and file a report. I was hesitant at first, then I finally agreed.

After filling out all the paperwork for the report, Michael finally took me home.It was almost 10:30 when we got home.

DIONNAH'S POVOne month laterIt was a Thursday afternoon when I got the call. I was at work and Dani and I had just finished a meeting with some potential clients for Delaney Designs. When I answered I didn't recognize the voice immediately, until the person spoke my name. It was Gregory."Why are you calling my phone? What do you want you bastard?""I think we need to talk," he said on the other end of the line."Talk? I have nothing to say to you." "Please" he pleaded before I could hang up. "Just two minutes Dionnah, hear me out.""You have one minute," I said as I pressed the record button."Thank you," he said and I rolled my eyes. "Dionnah I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart for what I did to you. I was just going through some stuff and seeing you triggered certain emotions.

Dionnah sat with her husband and their now four year old daughter, who was preoccupied on her tablet to even notice what was taking place. Danielle was sitting to the left with the twins beside her who were also busy with their devices.
