“I was trying to protect my investments. Then I meant Averie and the kids, and my mindset has changed.”

Him bringing the kids into this conversation pissed me off.

“Don’t you dare bring my babies in this conversation. You weren’t thinking about them when you were worried about your investments.”

“I’m being honest.”

“No, you are not about to use Averie as some redemption story while sitting here admitting your men helped ambush the father of her children.”

Q’s eyes dropped.

“You think I planned on falling for her?”

“I don’t give a fuck what you planned.”

“I didn’t even know her like that when Rah died.”

“You looked her and the kids in the face, knowing you helped take the man they loved away.”

“I never touched Rah.”

“You’re saying that like it makes you less guilty.”

“It does matter.”

“To who?”

Q stood again and started pacing.

“My men weren’t supposed to kill him. They were supposed to stop him, shoot up his car, but keep him alive.”

“Then who killed him?”

“I’m not answering that.”

“Why not?” I stood up.

“Because I came clean on the shit I did.”

“I don’t give a fuck about what you're willing to tell me. I want to know who killed my husband.”

“I’m not giving you that.”

“You protecting somebody?”

“I’m protecting myself this time.”

“From what?”

“From saying more than I already have.”

I laughed because I couldn’t believe the nerve of this nigga.

“You’ve said enough to spend the rest of your life in prison.”

“Then call the police,” he said.

“I’m not calling the police.”
