Dedication

I would like to dedicate this book to the man who made the sacrifices that allowed my dreams to come true. Alex, you are truly a godsend. Your goodness makes me strive to be better because you deserve the best.
Thank You
I would like to say thank you to all my friends and family who have shown me support through it all. I’m not going to mention all the names again, but I will write down the ones I didn’t put in my first book: Georgia, Amira, Donna, Joyce, Glender, Niaomi, Natasha, my aunt Gloria, and all my many cousins.
Special Thanks
To my children, Yushanda, Daniel, Nakia, Koron, Alex, Alec, and Alexa, and my grandsons, Daniel Jr. and Xyon. I want you to see that things don’t just happen. Most of the time it takes hard work and sacrifice. Always remember that as long as you try, you will never fail.
Previously from Face Me
Sean couldn’t hold back any longer. He had to confront Mr. Web. On his way to Mr. Web’s office, Sean tried to maintain a certain level of calmness. He knew this could mean his job, but he didn’t care. When Sean got to his office, no one was at the front desk. He noticed the door was ajar and he could hear him on the phone.
“I told you, I didn’t know that she was Sean’s girlfriend,” Mr. Web was saying. Sean was about to knock, but he decided to listen instead. “If I would have known, do you think I would have done something like that to my own son…”
His own son, Sean thought.
“Why didn’t you tell him when he went down to Virginia that I was his father? Why do I have to do it?”
Sean couldn’t listen anymore, he was too upset to say anything. Why hadn’t his mother told him? He was about to find out.
Nicole was going to meet Stephanie at Melissa’s apartment. Since this whole ordeal, she hadn’t really talked to her. Nicole wanted to straighten out her relationship with Sean before it became office gossip. She had to admit, she missed Stephanie as a friend, and she felt it was time to let her know what was going on. Carla didn’t want to come. She was eager to go to Mr. Web’s office and let him have it. Nicole had her own plans for him, and they didn’t involve Carla. When Nicole entered Melissa’s place, she noticed Maxine was also there.
“Long time, no see!” Stephanie yelled out.
“I know. I have so much to tell you,” Nicole replied.
“You better start with that damn video.” Melissa put her hands on her hips.
“I noticed you could only see your face and not the guy in the video,” Stephanie said. “But who was that?” Nicole took a long pause.
“It was Mr. Web. He drugged me and took me to this room…” Before she could finish, there was a knock at the door.
“I ordered Chinese. I hope y’all don’t mind,” said Melissa. She went to open the door but while she was opening the door, her head was turned toward the women. She didn’t realize who she was opening the door for. The look on everyone’s face let her know something was wrong.
“What the fuck are you doing here?” Stephanie yelled out. Melissa turned around so fast, she almost gave herself whiplash.
“How did you get the nerve to come to my damn house again?” Melissa asked.
“Shut the fuck up,” James said as he pushed past Melissa and came inside. “Maxine, I want you to come with me.”
“I don’t want to go with you James. Why don’t you just leave? You know I have that order of protection,” replied Melissa.
“Fuck the order. This has been going on for too damn long. Enough is enough,” James said and walked toward Maxine to grab her. “I saw you dancing with that nigger at your barbecue.” While James’ back was turned, Melissa eased into the kitchen.
“James, get the fuck out of my house before I stab your ass,” Melissa said, grabbing a knife from the kitchen.
“Can you stab me before I shoot you?” James pulled out a gun and pointed it at Melissa. “Get that bat now bitch. You know I don’t like your ass anyway. I will gladly put a hot one in your hot ass.
“James, this is not necessary. I’ll go with you. Just don’t hurt anybody,” Maxine said in a raspy voice. Nicole and Stephanie were in a state of shock. They couldn’t believe this was happening.
“If everyone stays where they are, no one will get hurt,” James said, turning in the direction of Maxine. “Come on. Now!” Melissa’s face grew hot with anger because she didn’t know exactly what to do; but she knew she had to save her friend. Melissa leapt onto James’ back and plunged the knife into his chest. Her action startled James and the gun went off. The room went from dead silence to frantic screams.
“She got shot! Call an ambulance!” someone screamed. Nicole lay on the floor repeating the words, “my baby, my baby.” Melissa, Maxine, and Stephanie wondered, Is she pregnant?
When the ambulance got there, both Nicole and James lay on the floor, lifeless.
“We have two people; we thought it was only one,” one of the paramedics said.
“It is, take her. Let that motherfucker die,” Melissa said. “I also think she’s pregnant.” The paramedics took Nicole and called for a second ambulance to get James. James looked at the Maxine but couldn’t speak. Maxine said, “Why don’t you just DIE!” When the paramedics put Nicole into the ambulance, the second one arrived for James.
“Where’s the body?” one of the paramedics asked.
“I’ll take you to him,” Maxine responded. “I’ll meet y’all at the hospital.”
“Are you sure?” Melissa asked her.
“Yes, we all can’t fit in the ambulance anyway. I’ll just drive my car.”
“Okay, see you there.”
As the ambulance pulled off, Stephanie kept telling Nicole she was going to be all right, just hang in there.

Sean received a text message on his phone from Alec.

7:00pm
Sean, Nicole’s
in NYC Hospital

The hospital, why was she in the hospital? Sean raced to his car and sped down the highway. He hoped nothing was wrong with the baby. I can’t lose her, not now, not ever. Please Lord, whatever is going on, please fix it, please fix it. Sean pulled up to the hospital. He didn’t bother to park his car.
“I’m looking for Nicole Davis. Is she here?” Sean didn’t know where to go. “Nicole Davis, where is she?”
“Calm down sir, she’s in surgery. You can wait in the waiting room with the others,” the nurse said.
“I don’t want to wait with the others; I need to be with Nicole.” Stephanie heard Sean’s voice becoming loud.
“Sean!” Stephanie called out to him.
“Steph, what happened? Where is Nicole?” Sean asked her.
“Calm down and I’ll tell you what happened,” Stephanie began telling Sean what had led up to Nicole being in surgery.
“What about the baby?” he asked.
“We don’t know anything yet,” Melissa said. Minutes seemed like hours, hours seemed like days, and so on. Finally, one of the surgeons came out.
“Is anyone here for Nicole Davis?” the doctor asked. Everyone stood up, “Yes, we are,” they all replied.
“I just want you to know that we removed the bullet from her chest, but she’s not out of the woods yet. The next forty-eight hours are critical.”
“Can we see her?” Stephanie asked.
“One at a time, no longer than ten minutes,” the doctor advised.
“Sean, you go first,” Melissa said. “Just in case we all can’t go in.” Sean followed the doctor. He almost lost it when he saw Nicole hooked up to the tubes.
“What about the baby?” Sean asked the doctor. With all the worrying about Nicole, he had almost forgotten to ask about the baby.
“We thought with all the trauma that her body went through, she would have aborted the baby, but God is on her side. The baby is still in place and doing well. I always say, ‘God is the master. I’m just an instrument to carry out his duties.’ He’s the one with the last say.” The doctor touched Sean’s shoulder. “She won’t answer you, but she can hear you.” The doctor left Sean with Nicole.
“Hello, my love.” Sean sat beside Nicole’s bed, looked at t
