"You're his what?" Kara looked from Natalie to Dray.

"I'm his fiancée." She smiled wagging her ring finger that had a huge rock on it.

Kara placed the picnic basket in one of the nearby chairs. "Dray what the hell is she talking about?"

"Kara she is lying. She is my ex-fiancée." Dray stood and walked over to her.

"Well why the hell is she wearing a ring  and saying that you are her fiancée?" She looked up at Dray, hoping that nothing that woman said was true.

She had already been down this road before. The only difference was Dylan was married and Kara found out in a manner similar to this one. Kara wasn't about to go through the embarrassment and pain again. She knew that things were going too good to be true.

"Baby she is delusional and desperate. She is trying her hardest to get back in with me, but I don't want her. I only want you." He caressed her cheek.

"So you are you really just going to act like I'm not here?" Natalie asked with anger laced in her voice.

"Natalie, I been acting like you weren't here. How many times do I have to tell you that what we had will never be again." He said as he pulled Kara's back against his front, wrapping his arms around her.

Natalie took in the gesture and seethed with anger. She couldn't believe that he was dissing her for the whore that she was. Dylan had told me all about how she was a home-wrecker.  She even rain some raunchy escort service and she couldn't believe that Dray was taken with this bitch.

Natalie smiled darkly because she was going to have to step up her game. What she wanted she got no matter what she had to do to get. Kara wouldn't have him for long. Natalie looked at them a little while longer and grabbed her clutch walking out.

"Kara you believe me don't you?" He turned her around to face him.

She bit on her lip and looked down at his tie. He quickly lifted her chin making her look into his eyes.

"Kara you know I would never hurt you in that way. If I was involved with someone I wouldn't even have let things progress the way that they have with us. I respect you too much to play with your heart like that. Little boys break hearts while grown men mend and cherish hearts."  He bent his head, pecking her lips repeatedly.

"Dray I believe you. Just hearing her say that took me back to my dark past. That's something I need to talk to you about soon, but right now I want you to enjoy your lunch that I prepared." She stepped from his embrace.

"What did you make me?" He smiled as he watched her bring the basket to his desk.

"Come and see." She said over her shoulder.

Dray stood behind her and watched as she pulled out a container of fried chicken, potato salad, mac & cheese, and honey butter croissants. There was even a small jug of lemonade inside the basket.

"Damn you cook too. I know I found my wife for sure." He kissed her cheek.

"You think so?"

"Baby I know so, now come on a feed your future husband."

"Okay, but what does your future wife get in return?"

"Baby you can have anything you want anyway you want, anytime you want."

Lord have mercy...

Jeff stood behind the counter at the library as he flipped through a magazine. He looked up when he saw a beautiful woman walking his way. He wondered what the hell she was doing here in the library. Her strong perfume met him before she did.

"Excuse me do you work here?"

Jeff looked up at her like she was dumb, hell she sounded dumb.

"Now you see me standing behind this counter and you have the audacity to ask if I work here. Did you ride the short bus or did you drive it with the helmet on?" Jeff rolled his eyes.

"Look negro don't talk to me like you have no respect. I'm looking for Cierra." She narrowed her eyes.

"She in the back." He said ignoring her as he continued to flip through his magazine.

"Can you get her?"

"I don't know because I'm not animal control; therefore I do not touch strange animals." Jeff said.

"Where is your manager. I do not have to put up with your foolishness."

"I am the manager, now what is your complaint?"

"Listen I'm Natalie Campbell and I need to speak with my cousin. Can you please get her for me?" Natalie smiled.

"Oh lord another pigeon." Jeff said as her called to the back.

A few seconds later Cierra made her way to the front. Jeff watched her as she walked over to Natalie. Jeff had a funny feeling about them both; especially Natalie. She screamed drama and messiness. Jeff watched them as they walked over to a table.

Jeff grabbed his phone shooting Kara a text.

Hey boo! When you get a chance call me. I just met another pigeon and she related to Cierra. Something ain't right with her. I get a bad vibe off her. When you get through getting that ding dong hit me back. LMFAO!

*******

Kara smiled all the way back to the Classy Escorts. She was beyond happy and even though that little situation happened it didn't cause anything to change. She walked out of the elevator as it opened. When she got to her office she walked inside feeling like she was on cloud nine.

She didn't look up until she heard a familiar voice, one that she didn't want to hear.

"Hello baby." Dylan said as he turned around in her high-back chair.

"What the hell are you doing here? And how the hell did you get your lunatic ass in here?"

"Is that anyway to greet your man." Dylan flashed a grin.

Kara snorted rudely. "Dylan get the fuck out!"

Dylan stood to his full height and walked towards her. She looked at him and feared what he was going to do. Her mind went back to when he would hit her just because he was having a bad day.

"Kara why the fuck don't you ever do what I tell you? Huh? He grabbed her neck choking her.

"D-Dylan...I-I'm sorry." I gasped for air.

"You know you are my bitch and you will always be my little bitch." He smiled in pure evilness.

I felt myself about to lose consciousness as Dylan gripped my neck tighter. It was like he was seeing a whole other person. He finally let me go, but he shoved me until I fell, hitting my head on the edge of the table.

"When I get back I want this mess cleaned up."

I laid there in a fetal position as I cried....

Kara you have gotten disrespectful and I don't like that. In fact I never liked that." He roughly gripped her arm.

"Dylan let me go!" She yelled.

"I'm afraid I can't do that because you know too much and I have to keep you close and besides you belong to me now. I got rid of my wife for you Kara." He gripped her arm tighter.

"Dylan please!" Kara pleaded.

"Please what baby? Huh? What you want daddy to do?" He pulled her closed to his body, breathing harshly in her ear.

Kara trembled in fear and in disgust. Her phone went off in her purse, but she couldn't get to it. Dylan looked down and reached inside her purse getting her phone out. He looked at the message and narrowed his eyes.

"Who the fuck is Jeff, Kara? Is he another nigga you fucking?" He became raged as he backed her into door roughly.

"Who the fuck is he Kara!" He threw her phone against the wall and it shattered.

Tears streamed down her face as she trembled in his hold. She couldn't believe that her life had come to this. She just knew that her life was about to end at any moment. Sadly she didn't get the chance to tell Dray that she love him.

"You can't fucking talk, Kara?" He backhanded her causing blood to gush from her mouth.

A loud bang on the door halted Dylan in his attack.

"Miss James are you okay?" Security asked.

She looked up at Dylan and he mouthed for her to say yes. "Y-yes...I-I'm okay." Tears fell down even more.

"Okay, I heard something shatter and voices raised. Just doing my job." Security walked away from the door.

Kara heard the click her door being locked. She knew then that Dylan was going to do something deadly. He reached under her pencil skirt and ripped her panties off. He lifted them to his nose, inhaling her scent.

"Still the sweetest."

"Dylan please don't do this!" Kara begged.

"Kara why are you denying us what we both want." He picked her up

"DYLAN! NO!" She screamed and kicked as he threw her on the sofa in her office.

"Bitch shut the fuck up!" He smacked her across the face again.

Just as he tried freeing himself from his pants the door busted open and security came in with guns pointed. Belle and some of the other girls rushed in. They went straight to her as security jerked Dylan up. Kara laid there in shock. She stared at nothing in particular as her body shook from her sobs.

Belle and Charity covered her up while Tori called for an ambulance.

"W-why is this happening to me?" Kara cried as Belle held her.

"Belle I don't want Dray to see me like this. Please don't call him."

"Kara I-"

"Belle please!" She begged as fresh tears ran down her bruised and swollen face.

"Okay Kara."

Dray had just got off work and was headed home. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. He called Kara a couple of times, but it went to voicemail. He wasn't going to rest until he knew that she was okay. He decided to go to the library to see if she was there.

After about fifteen minutes he pulled up to the library. Turning his car off he jumped out rushing inside. He headed to the top floor to see if she was there. He knew that she moved around a lot because of what she did, but Kara had told him that the library was her home of homes.

Dray saw the guy that he met the first time he came here. "Excuse me I'm looking for Kara."

Jeff looked up and smiled when he realized it was Kara's boo. "Dray she isn't here and I'm starting to wonder if everything is okay because I texted her earlier when some woman named Natalie came here.

"Natalie? What the fuck was she doing here?"

"She came to see Cierra said that she was her cousin or something like that." Jeff said as he looked at the worried expression on Dray's face.

"The hell with them. I have been calling Kara and it keeps going to voicemail. I have a feeling something is wrong."

Before Jeff could respond his phone alerted him that he had a text message. The message was from Belle.

Jeff get to Atlanta Medical Asap! Kara's been hurt.... 

Jeff looked up at Dray and back at his phone in shock. "Dray I have some bad news."

"What?"

"It's Kara. She...uh she is at Atlanta Medical. She has been hurt.....

Excuse Mistakes!
