“Hassan, what’s going on?”

He sauntered over to me and kissed my lips, but I couldn’t reciprocate. I needed to know what was going on.

“Baby, calm down. You’re not being fired, but this is your last day. Look at it as a resignation,” he mentioned.

“What? Resignation?”

“Yeah. What I look like letting my wife be some receptionist?” he explained.

“Aye, watch that shit, nigga.” Knight butted in.

“But I like my job,” I whined.

“But you don’t need it. You have enough money in your account to cover your salary for a few years, so there’s no need for you to be working. You don’t have to worry about bills or anything else for as long as I have breath in my body. All I need is for you to give me all of you and I got you in return. Can you do that?”

I was speechless. This man really did love me, but I needed to actually had to hear it.

“Why, though?”

“Because I love you, shorty. That’s why.” I couldn’t stop the smile on my face if I wanted to.

“Aight. Y’all can take that shit to your house. Rue, I’ll have a severance package deposited into your account shortly. And since this nigga acting like we didn’t pay you well enough, it’ll be well worth it. And we’ll shoot you something for little mama’s college fund.” He smirked at Hassan.

“Shit, we appreciate it.” We all laughed at Hassan’s statement.

After I gathered my belongings, he loaded them into the back of his truck and followed me home. When we got inside, he pulled me into his arms and kissed me passionately.

“What was that for?” I asked, breathlessly.

“Because I love you, and I wanted you to feel that shit. I love you and Infiniti, and I promise until the day that I take my last breath and even after that, you will never have to worry about a single thing again. As long as it’s within my reach, I’ll make it happen. Even if I can’t, I’ll make a way.”

I couldn’t stop the tears now if I wanted to.

“Thank you,” I voiced.

“For what, baby?”

“For loving me properly and accepting my child. For that alone, I’ll always love you,” I simpered.

“I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Epilogue

JaRue

a year later…

Things have been beyond perfect since Hassan has entered me and Infiniti’s life. He has been the perfect husband and father that we could ever ask for. That could be the reason why I was now six months pregnant with our son. That man couldn’t keep his hands off of me and I didn’t try to stop him. I missed working with The RCF, but I still got to see them since Hassan works so closely with them. All the women are so nice, and I appreciate them accepting me and Journei. Kim and Journei hit it off immediately because they were the only two that didn’t have biological kids, and they had matching non-filters.

Today was supposed to be the day of my baby shower, and it was in full swing. Journei along with my mother, her mother, and Hassan’s threw us this elaborate baby shower at The Richmond Royale hotel. I’ve never been here, but I knew it was the latest hotel and owned by Kyandri. His wife Denver did all the decorations, and she brought my boxing theme to life, and I loved every bit of it. All of our families were in attendance and all the Richmonds. It was like we were all one big, happy family. It was time to for me to open gifts and I was down to the last one when Hassan stood up.

“Wait, you got one more,” he said with a smile. “Where’s my baby girl?” he asked for Infiniti.

“Here, Daddy!” she squealed with Peace and Knight’s daughter following close behind.

“Here, baby. Give this to your mama.” He handed her an envelope, and she happily passed it over to me.

“You and these envelopes. You know they give me PTSD.” I joked.
