Truth

My ex-wife’s father was a lawyer with a talent for knowing what to invest in and when to pull out of said investments and collect his profits. Him and my relationship with him were the only good things that came out of our five-year marriage. He knew his daughter was spoiled and would do absolutely anything to get her way. He knew that when she set her sights on something or someone, she’d stop at nothing to get it. And while he did not know the specifics of how we came to be a we, he knew I wasn’t totally to blame for our marriage not working. Sitting across from him in the restaurant he’d chosen for this Tuesday evening meeting, I let my eyes scan the dining room as he wrapped up a phone call with his wife, the gorgeous woman who was responsible for Tiana being Tiana. She’d spoiled her only daughter, favored her over their three sons, tutored her on being a privileged bitch, and I’d suffered the consequences, because I made the poor judgement call of falling for her.

Just like a lot of women, including a too-young-for-me teenage Claudette, she knew my reputation, the weight my name held, and she wanted me and the respect and power that accompanied the role of being my woman. I’d had many girlfriends and some fuck buddies in the past, had cared about a lot of them, but by the time I met Tiana at that club, I was ready to slow down and find my one. Tiana presented herself as this wild chick, beautiful and bold, but she was also smart and cunning, maybe too cunning for me. She also appeared to be a rider, would hide dope and guns for me, never complained about the late hours I kept trying to stockpile money so I could go legit. Hell, she even helped dispose of some evidence after an unfortunate run-in with a nigga who thought it was a good idea to run up on me when I was out with her without my boys. So of course I wifed her, and that was the biggest mistake I could’ve made. Once Tiana was my wife, she decided she needed to be the one to call the shots, tried and failed to rule me and keep tabs on me, tried to clown me in front of my boys, flaunted me as a thug to her father whom she hated, like Craig’s bitch ass hated his. She was proud to have married her father’s worst nightmare—a street nigga. What she didn’t know was that her daddy had been a street nigga, too, because he’d kept that from her. So her using me to get to him actually worked to my benefit. He did everything in his power to help me become a legitimate businessman—investing in my clubs, showing me how to flip houses. Hell, if anyone was owed credit for my empire, it was Tim Presley, her father.

“Sorry about that,” he said.
