I look back at her as she stares her sad eyes at me, “I killed them, Lindy.” There was silence and there were a lot of things I wanted to say but then my heart was hurting too much that I opted to remain quiet. My heart still hurts from what happened to Jolene and our baby. My heart still hurts that I was not able to save them.

Am really anxious to know more about you" Shu asked, as she looked at Joy. She could see some sadness in Joy's eyes as she asked these and she didn't want to pry knowing she and Joy barely knew each other that well. "I have no parents, no siblings.

I have to clear my head till he text me, he surely would text me. I got out of the house and went into my car as I drove off to a club. Dammit. It's too early to come to a club, clubs are supposed to be nighties but not All Enjoyment Club; theirs is open both day and night and people stream it like their lives depended on it.

I work at clubrooms three days a week, pulling fifteen-hour shifts to make up the forty-five hour full-time requirements I have in place, to keep my son, Jaxson. He's a sweet little boy, who unfortunately is a spitting image of his cunt of a father. I bring my hand up to my breast and cup it.

One weekend, Shanine brought up the idea of taking another short trip with Phoebe. Looking into her hopeful eyes, I suddenly understood something. Once a secret existed, it would never truly disappear.

But, there are times you'll have to put yourself first. Lola is stuck between two tough decisions, living for family or herself. Find out how things go for her. I do hope you enjoy it.

"Riley, you've been asked to join the filming for 'You're My Joy'!" my manager, Monica Jones, cried. Her words pulled me out of my confusion and sorrow.
