“Clayton Favors.”
“Your boss?”
She nodded slowly. “I wanted you to find out from me first before you heard it somewhere else, Legend.”
My fists clenched at my sides, and my nostrils flared. Heat roared through my body, and if it weren’t for me hearing my little G’s footsteps running around upstairs, I would have lost it on her.
“How long, Kali?”
She looked away from me, and I found myself snatching her up by her blouse.
“Legend!” She shrieked as her eyes ballooned, and her bottom lip trembled.
I had to get the fuck away from her before I caught a case. In our six years of marriage, I have never brought any physical harm to her. I wasn’t about to start.
“How long?” I barked.
She pulled away from me at the same time that I released her.
“Right after.”
“How long?”
“Three months after it happened. I was struggling, Leggie. You weren’t doing what I needed you to do.”
“Is that why you were staying at work late nights?”
She nodded. “He was just an ear in the beginning. He listened and didn’t push or judge me.”
“I never fucking judged you,” I replied through clenched teeth.
“I felt like you did.”
The tears that stung my eyes would not remain hidden any longer. They found their way out of my eyes and down my face. My lips curled in and down in a sneer. “I fucking hate you.”
“Don’t say that, Legend.” She sobbed.
I dragged my hand down my face to clear it of my tears as I heard my son running down the stairs and shouting, “Daddy! You’re here.”
I spun around and swung him into my arms.
He looked at me, cupped my face, and kissed me on the nose. “Don’t cry, Daddy. It’s gonna be okay.”
I smiled and kissed his forehead. “I know, li’l G. I know.”
I turned, and carrying my son, I walked out the door without a glance back.
Chapter 2
Legacy
“Where the fuck have you been?” I glanced to the side where Regal sat on the couch. He was rolling a blunt.
I hung my keys on the hook and walked to the bedroom. I had nothing to say to him after what I witnessed last night. I was tired of him and his shit.
I heard him running behind me, but I didn’t pick up my speed. I stopped in the doorway of our bedroom and froze. Regal grabbed me by the back of my neck and jerked me backward. Putting his face in mine, he growled. “You hear me fucking talking to you?”
“Let me go, Regal.” I tried snatching away, but his hold was too strong, and I only ended up falling backward. He released me, and I fell on the floor.
