I’ve done all the shopping, bought the necessary things we need and clothes and toys for Neveah but then on my way to the De Lucas estate something caught my eye that was in the window of a store I drove by. It was a designer bag that Liyana looked up once on the internet and she couldn’t stop talking about how she wished she had the money to buy one for her because she fell in love with it at first sight . She said that the bag itself was gorgeous and that she just loved the design. I can’t even count how many times she had shown me pictures of that bag. Even if I tried I could never forget how the bag looked. It was printed in my mind. I was going to get her that designer bag and surprise her with it since tomorrow is her birthday.

Grabbing my handbag I climbed out of my car and made my way towards the store. Walking into the store an employee walked towards me.

“Welcome, is there anything I could help with or is there something ma'am looking for specifically?” The girl said with this smile on her face but you could see she was forcing herself to smile. She was uncomfortable.

“Yes I want the Hermès Kelly Rose Gold Bag please.” I said in a dead voice staring at her waiting for her to get moving. 

She looked me up and down and scoffed. Probably because of the way I am dressed she thinks I’m incapable of paying for the bag. She crossed her arms and was about to say something when a woman came out stopping her.

“Is everything alright?” The woman asked, guessing she is the manager, at how the girl’s posture changed and had that forced smile again.

“Hey I would like to purchase the Hermès Kelly Rose Gold Bag please.” I said and again the same with the manager she had this look in her eyes looking me up and down.

“I’m capable of paying if that’s what you’re thinking.” I said in a toneless voice.

“Absolutely. I apologise for what just happened right this way ma’am.” The manager gestured towards the registers.

The girl came back with a large box in her hands placing it down on the counter. The woman gestured for me to scan my card probably expecting it to decline but instead the payment went through. Both of them looked at me with these looks on their faces,  more of a shocked look. They said nothing and just kept on looking at me.Taking the receipt from the manager I took the box and walked away.

“Please come again.” I heard one of them yell when I was out the door.

Wasn’t going back there again.The first and last time I was going to step foot in there because they judge people based on how they dress. Thinking only people who dress according to their status  are capable of having the money to buy luxury handbags. 

I was planning on taking Liyana out for her birthday but because of what happened Neveah and I will just stay at home and spend the day with her and order food. I think Elena will also be there if she can. I can already see Liyana being so freaking happy when she sees the bag but also crying  her eyes out at the same time.

I was walking on the pavement on my way towards my car but then someone decided to open their car door and it slammed into me. Not that they couldn’t see me because the woman looked at me taking her glasses off when she climbed out of the car. It was almost as if she was waiting for me to walk past the car so she could open the door so she could slam it into me.I may not have been hard but still I don’t even know this woman.

“Can I help you with something?” I inquired since she was standing in front of me as if she was waiting for me to move out of the way.

“You’re in my way.” She said in this squeaky voice.

God her voice sounds irritating and the f**k she thinks she is to tell me I’m in her way. She can walk past me for all I care I’m not moving.The pavement doesn’t belong to her to tell me where to walk and what to do. I’ll walk where the f**k I want. She can move out of my way with her fake ass and fake boobs. 

“Walk past me then. The fuck you are to tell me I’m in your way when you slammed you car door into me.” I said looking up at her since she had heels on that made her an inch taller than me.

“Do you know who I am?”

“I could give two f**k’s who you are. I don’t care and I don’t want to know. So spare the introduction. I have places to get out of my way.” I said stepping to the side to walk past her since she won’t but then she moved stepping in front of me. Stopping me from walking further. Everytime I moved to the side she would also just to piss me off. She wanted me to move and I did the f**k she wants from me. 

“If you don’t get out of my way I will drag you across this pavement and beat the hell out of you. Don’t test me because you are getting on my last nerves with this childish behavior of yours not letting me go. Just like I don’t know you you don’t know who I am and trust me you don’t want me. Go on with this and I will f**k you up. So let me go or we can deal with this.” I said in a toneless voice stepping back looking at her.

To my surprise she didn’t move, instead she stormed off like a baby. Climbing back into her car driving away. I miss my baby. I wanted to see her and she was  pissing me off because she was not letting me get to my baby any sooner and I was about to grab her by the hair dragging her ass across this pavement.

Unlocking my car I placed the box in the back seat and closed the door. Climbing into the driver side I started the ignition and sped off making sure that it was safe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arriving at the De Luca estate I drove past the gates and drove up towards the house. Getting near the house there were about three cars parked in the driveway which meant that they were everyone home. And here I was hoping I wasn’t going to see a certain someone by the name Demonic. Maybe I won’t. I’II just take Neveah and leave. Parking my car I climbed out making sure to lock the doors. Ringing the doorbell I waited for about 2 minutes when it opened and the face of the youngest brother Luciano came in too few.

“Aaliyah.” Luciano said in a flirtatious voice looking me up and down standing in the door blocking me from walking in.

“Luciano.” I said in a toneless voice.

“Why so cold dear I thought you were a quiet and shy one.” He said still not moving from the door letting me past.

“Luciano.” I said in a warning voice and he moved out of the way.

Walking down the hallway towards the living room. There was no one in the living room so where was my baby? Hearing my baby starting to cry I made my way towards where it came from and found them in the kitchen.

Stopping in my tracks because of who I saw and it wasn’t Dominic it was that god forsaken woman from earlier. She was standing in their kitchen with my baby in her hands. Elena took Neveah from her and what that woman said to my baby made me storm towards her and grab her by the throat slamming her into the wall.

“Touch my baby again say anything to her direction  and if you dare look her way I will f**k you up. I said this before and I’m going to say this again: you don’t know me and you don’t want to. Don’t test me because you will see who Aaliyah Ferrari is.” I said in a toneless voice gripping tighter with every word.

“Let go of me.” She said, grabbing my arm. Trying to prey it away.

I could feel everyone’s eyes on me as I held this woman by the throat. Dominic stood next to me only a few feet away and just stared down at me with his hands in his pockets and if I’m right I saw a smirk.

    Waking up to baby Naveah crying, I climbed out of my bed and picked her up out of her crib. Seeing that it was still dark outside I looked at the clock on my bedside seeing that it was only 4 o'clock in the morning and I let out a groan. I just went to sleep about two hours ago and I was up once again.Cradling her in my arms I started to walk up and down in my room to stop her crying, it always helps. She started to quiet down a bit and I looked down at her seeing her staring up at me with those blue eyes of hers."You need help Aaliyah?" Liyana asked, peeking her head around my bedroom, sounding half asleep."Thank you but I'm fine Liyana, go back to bed. You have work tomorrow." I said usering her back to her room."So do you Aaliyah." She said back, stopping at her bedroom door."My shift doesn't start until 11 oçlock Liyana and yours starts at 8 o'clock. Your alarm is going to go off in about a hour, go back to sleep."I said, closing her with the duvet.Just when she laid her hea

    Arriving at the bakery, I parked across the street since there was no parking on the other side. Turning off the ignition, I took the diaper bag from the passenger side and climbed out of the car. Looking across the street into the baker there was no movement which was weird. Every morning there would be people already waiting outside the bakery for us to open and the workers would be running around talking to each other getting everything ready but it was quiet this morning. Where was everyone, aren’t supposed to come to work today or what. Did I miss something in the group about there being no work today? Maybe Elena texted me about today. Reaching for my phone in my pants, I unlocked it and there were no messages from the group or from Elena. Just when I was about to put my phone away it rang and Elena’s name appeared on the screen. “Hey, Miss Elena.” I answered, opening the back door on my side ,unclipping Neveah from the car seat, picking her up.‘Hey dear, how far away are you

    The time right now was 7 o'clock in the afternoon. I got off work about an hour ago. Neveah was in her high chair eating her oatmeal cereal, watching Mickey Mouse while I was in the kitchen busy making dinner. By the time Liyana arrives it should be done. Tonight I'm going to make chicken carbonara because Liyana have been asking for the past week for me to make this so I decided to make it tonight.“How was work? I asked when I heard the front door open.“Uhhmm…….. the usual.” Liyana said, closing the front door behind her, walking towards Neveah.“Yes it was weird Neveah.” Liyana said when Neveah yelled almost as if she agreed or wanted to say something.“Come on, let's have dinner and you can tell me everything.” I said, handing Liyana a glass of white wine.“You made chicken carbonara.” Liyana said, sounding excited, when we got to the kitchen.“Yes, you have been asking so I decided to make it tonight.” I said sitting down on one of the barstools behind the island.“You know sinc

    Arriving at the club you could hear how loud the music was. Parking across the street I switched off the car and climbed out. Running across the street to go straight into the club but was stopped by the bouncer asking for my freaking ID. I didn't have time for this shit my friend needed me and I needed to find her.He let me enter after I showed my ID and as soon as I stepped inside I was engulfed with the smell of cigars, weed and the disgusting smell of alcohol. I hated that smell. In my 27 years of living I never had alcohol touch my lips just because I knew what it could do to you. I knew how it could change the person you are. I've lived through it my 18 years of living with my parents.Taking out my phone I dialled Liyana's number and she answered immediately. All I could hear was soft crying but you couldn't hear the music where she was. It was faint so I knew where she was. Pushing past the people , to get to the bathroom. I couldn’t give a shit if you were grinding on each o

    Making sure that she followed behind Dominic I made my way to this Mason. Getting closer to them I could hear them laughing and talking about Liyana. He was standing with his back facing me and I stopped behind him tapping him on his shoulder. As he turned around I jabbed him in his throat making him fall back.Two guys came running from behind me, bumping into me, rushing to his side helping back up. The girls just stood there staring at me and I took one step closer to them and they ran away without looking back. They helped him up and he lifted his head up looking at me.“Let go of me!” He said pushing the two guys away from his side and charged towards me.He came for me and I didn’t move. He grabbed me by the throat and I head bumped him making his nose bleed. He let go of me and wiped his nose as the blood came out.“F**king bitch.” One of his friends yelled as he came for me.He went for a jab but I ducked , slightly sliding to the side I gave a hook to his side making him stum

    How do I say this in the nicest way possible because no matter what I try to say it comes out the wrong way because of the way I say it even if I try to say it without sounding like I want him to get the f**k out of our apartment. I don’t know how I ended up in this situation with Dominic sitting in the living room with Neveah. When I stepped out of that room all I heard from Liyana was “ Come on Mr.De Luca is waiting for us in the car.” I didn’t have a chance to say anything because I was pulled out of the office where the two brothers stood smiling, waving goodbye. It's been 20 minutes since we got home and I couldn’t find the nicest way without it coming out the wrong way, to tell this giant of a man sitting in our living room to leave because I wasn’t about to let myself feel uncomfortable in my own home. Liyana basically ran to her room when we entered the apartment leaving me alone with this man and to top it off when Neveah saw him she had this adorable smile of hers and mad

    Waking up to the sound of Neveah crying. Getting out of bed, I made my way towards her crib, leaning over to pick her up. Realising she only had half a bottle left when I reached out to grab it to feed her. I forgot to make her bottle’s last night because a certain someone I just wanted to get in my room away from him. Cradling Neveah in my arm, I fed her with the other one and sat down in the rocking chair. It didn’t take long for the bottle to be empty. Neveah’s little eyes were open staring at me, and didn't look like she was going to sleep any time soon. Might as well go make her 2 more bottles for when she wakes up again in the middle of the night because it was only 2 o’clock in the morning. Throwing a nappy over my shoulder in incase a little milk comes out when she burps. Laying Neveah down on the bed for a moment to do the kriss kross baby wrap, to keep her close to me while I am busy. I love this method because it is more convenient for me when I'm at home, then I don’

    It’s been three days since everything happened, what happened to Liyana and Dominic sleeping over. Thank goodness he was gone the morning when we woke up. At least he didn’t leave the stuff just laying on the couch. The blankets were folded neatly, laying on the couch. I haven’t seen or walked into him again and I’m grateful for that. The week felt so long, days felt as if it was going by slowly but it's the weekend finally, saturday. That meant it was time to go grocery shopping and buy a few baby stuff for Neveah as well. Since I can’t go shopping without buying her something new. Whether it was toys or clothes I just had to buy her something. Sometimes Elena would visit us on the weekend and help look after Neveah and spend the weekend with us even sleep over. So yesterday afterwork Elena let me know that she was coming over but I let her know that I wasn’t going to be home. She said that it would be no problem, that she would come over to help with Neveah and Liyana while I went
