Feenin': Twenty Years Later

Chapter Ten: "He Wasn't Man Enough"

Author's Note: The picture of Penelope Cruz is how Rae looks.

RAE POV

I can't believe that fake little victim Serafina owned me at my place of WORK! As if she has a job of her own. Wait until I tell my King about this. This bitch has three things: Me, fucked, UP!!!

I got out of my Cadillac and walked into our home. I walked downstairs and called for DeVante. I followed the sound of Toni Braxton's singing throughout the hallways and into DeVante's home recording studio. He was watching Toni's music video for the song "He Wasn't Man Enough," which that lying thot Serafina wrote about my husband. Poor thing is just mad because I took him from her when they were married. She's pathetic! Toni and her wrote the song together and it became successful because Serafina lied on and made a monster out of MY husband.

Me: Hello my King!

DeVante turned around and smiled.

DeVante: Hi baby, how was work?

Me: Terrible! Dalvin—

He rolled his eyes and scoffed in irritation at me. It's not my fault his brother is jealous of what we have. Maybe if he hadn't cheated on T-Boz, he'd have a family of his own. Misery loves company, silly nigga....

Me: It wasn't even my fault this time. He came in there with Serafina, and they were on a mission to take me down but your Queen held it down!

When he heard the name "Serafina" he froze. I hate seeing him like this, why is this girl a concern? She was nobody then and she's still one now! I swear, my man works himself over nothing sometimes.

DeVante: I need to know everything you said to her.

Me: I told her she was the past, I'm the present and we are the future.

I knew I was in trouble the second he got up and glared at me.

DeVante: What the FUCK are you thinking?

Me: I was protecting you! Me! Hell, everything we have! WHAT ABOUT ME!? Hell, at least I can give you children that are living and breathing! She couldn't!

With that reminder, he stepped up to me and the next thing you know, his open fist connected with my face. I fell to the ground and screamed.

Me: OHHHHHH!!!! BABE, WHAT YOU DOING TO ME!?

DeVante: You stay out of this! Don't you ever bad mouth her again! That's not your place. Shut the fuck up and do what I tell ya!

I cried as I tried to stop the bleeding from my face and nose. How could I be so stupid? He's right like always, he needs to handle this hoe on his own, so I'll let him do it. I love him and I can't live without him. Uh, I'll be damned if I let her win.
