Chapter 89

Diamond

I haven’t felt, in a long while, more in tune with that saying, “you woke up on the right side of the bed” than I felt today. I mean, literally, I did wake up on the right side of the bed. But my mood was ecstatic and really positive that morning. Actually, ever since July 4th, I have been feeling this way.

Perhaps it was because I was beginning to relax in New York, remembering all the things I used to love about the City I grew up in. I had come back to New York dreading meeting the family I believed didn't care about me, the ex-husband who cheated on me, and all the things that went wrong here. I was most especially concerned about the fact that Lennox will find out that he was really the father of my kids and will try to take them away from me, and complicate the uncomplicated life I had built for myself in New York. I was always looking over my shoulders, trying to remain safe and remain hidden even if that was literally impossible because I was working with the man. Mos
