Chapter 21

It was Friday morning, and while it had only been two days since that thug D.C. had shown up at Bible study, Raven felt like she’d been dealing with this nightmare for weeks. It was weighing on her mind in more ways than she could count, and she’d gone another night without sleeping. So much so that when she’d finally gotten up this morning, she’d noticed small bags under her eyes. She’d looked tired and not at all the way she normally did when she took a shower, applied her makeup, and got dressed. Even now, she didn’t look awful, but she certainly didn’t look her best, and something had to change. Something had to give, and she knew she had to fix this money ordeal sooner rather than later.

Raven scrolled through the church’s financial documents on her computer, trying to figure out how she might be able to take a larger cut of income for the next few months, but her cell phone rang before she could. When she saw it was Dillon, she shook her head.

Then she lifted her phone from her desk. “Why do you keep calling me?”

“You know why.”

“Well, I wish you would stop.”

“Not until you do what I told you.”

“So, you’re my boss now?”

“No, but I know you got my message.”

“You don’t know anything.”

“According to my dad, you admitted that you did.”

“Look, I’m really busy.”

“Do I sound like I care about that? I don’t care what you’re doing. I just want to know when you’re going to clear my dad’s name.”

“And if I don’t?”

“You heard my message the other day, right? When I said I wasn’t playing with you, I meant it.”

“Is that why you sent D.C. over here to threaten me?”

“Excuse me?”

“Excuse me, nothing, Dillon. I know you sent him, and I also know that this is all part of your little scheme to make me do what you want.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I think you do.”

“Think what you want. That’s on you, but if you don’t record a new video, I’ll be taking matters into my own hands.”

“I’m not afraid of you, Dillon.”

“You should be.”

“Well, I’m not. I never was.”

“You’re really starting to piss me off.”

“Too bad.”

“You’d better clear my dad’s name, or—”

“Or what, Dillon?” she yelled, cutting him off. “What exactly are you planning to do? What can you do?”

“Keep stalling with that retraction, and you’ll find out the hard way. I told you, I’m not playing with you.”

“Good-bye, Dillon.”

“Bye, trick.”

Raven set the phone down and felt her heart racing. Ever since the day Porsha had brought Raven that sex tape of her and Dillon, Raven had hated him. And those feelings hadn’t changed. What bothered her, though, was that even after talking to Dillon, she still couldn’t tell whether he was behind the D.C. crisis. He hadn’t overtly denied it, but he also hadn’t admitted that he had any connection to D.C.’s calling in his loan.

But either way, she’d already made up her mind first thing this morning that she would pay D.
