the first to speak. Ava simply took a seat on the soft pink sofa which was across the room from Cane, choosing not to say anything. Nervousness ran through every fiber of her body. She never knew what was going to pop off when those two were in the same room together. Cane glared at his brother and smirked.
“Damn, do you two love birds think I can have a few minutes alone with my daughter?” he said, sarcasm dripping with each word.
Cameron inhaled deeply and shook his head from left to right while biting down on his bottom lip. No time like the present to get this shit out of the way , he thought to himself. Cam was fed up with the secrets and lies and he was ready to put it all out there in the open.
“Listen, bruh, we need to talk,” Cameron stated. His face wore an expression of seriousness and Ava knew shit was getting ready to hit the fan.
Ava jolted up off the sofa. “I-I-I don’t think this is the place or time,” she stuttered, pleading with her eyes, begging Cam to let it go. Panic raced from her brain directly to her heart which was beating a mile a minute. She was not prepared to have this conversation, but she could tell from the expression on Cam’s face that it was going down whether she wanted it to or not.
She began to pace the floor, preparing herself for the knock down drag out that was soon to follow. All of this was her fault. Had she not been a coward all those years ago, she wouldn’t be dealing with this mess now. She made the decision to stay with Cane out of jealously for Dana, and let the one man who truly loved her walk out of her life. Ava couldn’t blame anyone but herself. She had every opportunity to come clean with Cane before the wedding, but she chose to deceive him into marrying her knowing that the baby she was carrying wasn’t his. She felt she had something to prove to all the other women who tried to take Cane from her, so with a baby on the way she knew he wouldn’t leave. Cane was going to go ballistic and feel justified in all of his dirt once he found out that Delaney is his brother’s child.
“Oh yeah? What the fuck you need to talk to me about, bruh?” he spat at Cameron. Cane was over his brother’s self-righteous ass. The nigga acted like he walked on water and so did the little minion followers who praised his every word, including his soon to be ex-wife.
“I’m just going to come right out and say it. Delaney is my daughter. Ava and I knew it from day one, but we decided together to keep it our little secret, because at the time she still had love for you and wanted to make the things work. I am not proud of the deceitful way we both chose to handle things, but I can no longer go on knowing that she is my daughter and keeping it a secret from Delaney.”
Natasha stood at the entrance to the bathroom with her mouth hung wide open. She wasn’t eavesdropping, but when she heard Cam start talking she froze in place. Ava was crying and pacing the floor, wringing her hands together like she was having some sort of panic attack.
“What the fuck you mean? Delaney is my daughter, nigga!” he yelled. Although Cane didn’t want to believe what he was hearing, he knew his brother would never lie about anything like that. But Ava on the other hand, how could she stoop so low? He’d placed her on a pedestal and never saw this shit coming, not from his sweet innocent Ava.
“Cane, I’m sorry, but you were always running the streets and ignoring me. You were never there for me. I didn’t mean for it to happen,” she cried hysterically.
“Nah, that’s fucked up, Ava! We weren’t even married yet! You knew I would have never married yo ass if I knew you was fucking my brother!” he fumed. Cane was furious and he truly wanted to put his hands on Ava in the worse way. “Cam, you ain’t shit, dog! What kinda brother does this type of shit? Huh nigga?” he said with spit flying out of his mouth. Cane’s mind was all over the place, he knew karma would
