Chapter One

  Rhonda Scott walks up and down the cold streets on the South Side of Chicago anticipating her next move to support her crack habit that she can no longer afford. "Lookin at Rhonda you would have never known that she once was one of the baddest broads on the South Side of Chicago". Rhonda left home at the tender age of eighteen. She was madly in love with her childhood sweetheart Dre. Rhonda standin "5 2" 130lbs thick in all the right places, long black wavy hair, with light brown eyes she definitely was the talk of the hood. Even at da time Rhonda knew nothing about hustlers, she was attractive to the handsome street thug. Although Dre had many women he loved the young naive girl because she was ignorant to the street life.  He met Rhonda at her third year at Hyde Park High School, immediately catching her attention by picking her up from school in his various rides. Dre may have had Rhonda by ten years he could have easily passed for a 21 year old guy by his youthful features.  Of course promising her the world having no intention to wife her because of his wife of ten years Trina who has been with him since forever along with his three kids.  Dre and Trina have a set of twin girls and one boy. Dre lavish Rhonda with designer clothes, kept her hair and nails done, and for her High School graduation he even bought her a 1997 Benz.  That didn't mean a damn thing to him, when he has 4 benz, 3 houses build from the ground not to mention the chain of clothing stores that's build from the ground up.  After High School Rhonda immediately enrolled in Chicago State University, at that time she found out that she was pregnant with Dre child, over excited about the news she called him on her Nextel Phone. Hello, hello "Dre I have something very important to talk to you about". Well spit it out Dre said! Today I went to the clinic and found out I'm four weeks pregnant! Hello, Dre why are you so quiet baby? It's nothing ma I'm just a little surprised my self. Baby you know that my parents are gonna flip out if I keep this child. What da hell you mean queen, they just gone have to flip because you gone keep my seed! Matter fact start looking for you a crib because you're moving out your parents spot. Dre Damn I'm not all that excited about Rhonda having my seed but being the man I am I'll never let my kid get aborted or go without. No question if Trina ever found out about it that girl will go nuts.

  For sho I love my wife but it's something about Rhonda that keeps me loving her too, she never question me or complain when I can't be there with her.  My wife on the other hand asks twenty one questions so fast to the point I be ready to stone cold slap her. Trina is what you call a straight ghetto girl, she'll ride for me, kill for me, and even has opened up shop for me on the block.  God know money don't mean a damn thang to Trina but if she find out about Rhonda period she will flip da hell out! Lord know I have enough %#&@$! on my plate than having to deal with Trina mess, I've been with Trina since high school she's like my best friend, I trust her but sometimes I wonder how long will she put up with my bull. Of course she has anything a woman could ever dream of clothes, cars, jewelry and a phat  bank account. 

  She once told me she'll give all that up for me.  Rhonda I found a two bed room apartment in Hyde Park, and that makes me thank God every day for my Dre.  Once I told my parents the news my dad was furious, thinking not his little princess.  You can say I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth because parents accomplishments.  My mom who name is also Rhonda is the Dean at Robert Morris College, and my dad work as a states attorney.  I never wanted for anything so once they found out about my pregnancy they gave me two choices have a abortion, or adoption I choose to do neither one. 

  My mom was heart broken but she dared not go against my father wishes so she just sat in the end of the chair and shed tears as I took my belongings and walked out the door never looking back.  Dre traded in my Benz for a Lexus truck, he furnished the apartment from top to bottom, it looked like a movie star crib. From the invisible fish tank, the six thousand dollar bedroom set delivered from Europe, my dinning room Gucci sectional was 18,000 dollars even.  Lately I've been thinking about what moves were going to make once I have the baby and the ultra sound tomorrow will be the perfect opportunity.  Dre will be here any minute so hurry up Sheila, I said to her on the phone. Sheila is one of my close friends, I won't say best friend because she does a lot of grimey stuff I don't take lightly.  Not to mention Dre can't stand her  for some apparent reason. Sheila promised me she'll stay at the apartment while they deliver my wall to wall 62 inch television. Beep, beep, beep the sound of Dre horn echoed through out the house. "Damn Sheila Dre is here and your %#&@$! ain't here yet! "Gurl shut up I'm pulling up right now"! My doctor office is only fifteen minutes away so it took us no time, but for some apparent reason he had an impatient look on his face. "Babe is something bothering you''? Na'll just thinking about some %#&@$! I have to handle later. Ms. Scott! Yea that's me. "Come on in Miss Doctor Wallace said". Dre and I walked in the cold blue room, the doctor instructed me to put on this gown and he'll come right back, I did as I was told. Caught in my thought's Dre interrupted, what's on ya mind Rhonda? Nothing just wondering "where do we go from here?" "What ya mean Queen"! Dre I want to be with you and I love you like I never loved before.

  Once he came back I laid on the table while he began to hook the machine up. Pulling my gown up he put this cold gel on my stomach. Dre is sitting in the chair like he knows what it is he is monitoring, um, Ms. Scott it looks like you and your husband are having twins. twins and I always thought the man I have my kids by will eventually become my husband. "Everything gone be alright come here and give daddy a kiss Dre said" as he smiled with the sexiest dimples I've ever laid eye's on."

      Six Months Later

  Today is not a good day at all, I am seven month's pregnant and I've been calling Dre for two days and has yet to receive an answer. I'm kind of worried because every night he calls me to see if I need anything. My feet have swollen as big as they possibly can get and my stomach has gotten so big I can hardly see my stuff. I'm hungry ever hell I guess I'll call Sheila to see if she would like to eat at the Cheesecake Factory downtown. Dre always leave me enough money for food and shopping. Hello, hey girl let's go to the Cheesecake Factory to eat? Rhonda yo fat pregnant tail always thinking about food! Give me one hour I'll be on the way. Okay let me try Dre one more time to see if he answers, %#&@$! I got his voicemail again, I hope he Okay. I left a message. Hey baby I've been calling you I hope everything is okay, call me back on my cell love ya bye.

                           Dre

  I'm in Brazil and what a lovely site to see, the women out here is gorgeous unfortunately I'm here with my wife Trina celebrating our eleven year anniversary. I know Rhonda is worried like hell because every two minutes she's calling my phone. Not only that, Trina is staring a whole through my Armani shirt. "Dre, who the hell keep calling your phone like that"! Damn Trina it's always something with you, why is you worried about who's calling my phone instead worrying about us enjoying our vacation Damn! Listen Trina I'm here with you, my damn wife look around us it is beautiful and you're worried about something that's not even important. I grabbed my wife by the face and told her that I love her and only her, but not even I believe that because lately I could only think about my money, kids and Rhonda.

                          Trina

  Dre  think he is so slick, as soon as he leaves for two minutes I'm all in that phone. Both of us are tipsy because we were at the hotel swim party on the beach. I can't wait to get home and holla at Charlie, yeah he's not the only one that's been creepin please believe me. Charlie and Dre are cousins and don't I feel bad for having sex with him, at first I did but once I found out about these other women Dre been sleeping with I call myself getting even. Charlie and I have been dipping off for the last three years, yep and I love every time he sticks his stick in me. At first I was lenient about messing with Charlie until I heard about some young chick Dre has been flossin around and that guilty feeling went right out the door. Don't get me wrong I love my husband dearly, but his ways are going to leave him in a whole lot of mess, that I won't be able to get him out of. I can't wait to get a hold of that chick, and I hope she's not stupid enough to think Dre is going to wife her, believe me he already have a wifely and truthfully we have too much invested for him to leave me and his three kids. Rhonda As I look at my alarm clock I'm wondering who in the hell is calling me at four o'clock in da morning? Oh, hell that's Dre cell let me call him back. "Hello, hello Dre baby is that you"? Hell na'll it's not Dre some women voice said. "Well may I ask who I'm speaking with"? Yes as a matter of fact you may ask, this is Trina Dre wife! Um maybe you have it wrong because the Dre I know is not married and Dre and I have twins on the way. Oh, I can believe that because we have a set of twin girls also. Um now who is this that I'm speaking to again? Didn't I just tell your stupid self that I'm his wife, meaning legally, as a matter of fact Dre and I are in Brazil celebrating our eleven year anniversary, so you may as well take you and your bastard kids some where and disappear. The reason I called you is because I noticed his phone blowing up. "Well, I still don't believe you said Rhonda''. Oh no problem I'll wake his drunk tail up for this! Dre Crack, crack my head is spinning I know I drank entirely too much and on top of that Trina is yellin telling me to wake my trifling %#&@$! up. What gurl! I got ya girl, "dude wake yo sorry butt up" Trina yelled. Trina didn't I tell you about that foul  mouth of yours I said as I wiped sleep from my eyes. Dre yo tramp is on the phone talking about she's pregnant and to top it off the girl don't even believe your married, Dre you have two seconds to get this phone and tell this stupid  girl not to call this damn phone any more. Oh damn I thought, I knew sooner or later Trina sneaky self was going to go through my phone and this situation was going to blow up in my face man! Trina who in the hell told you to touch my phone, do you see me rambling through all yo %#&@$!. That's because every other week I don't be seen with a different nigga in my damn car Dre! Trina keep yo hands off my stuff, Trina hurled the hotel's lamp at my head and it barely missed me, gurl you throw one more thing at me I swear I'm gone mess you up real nice. Mess me up then Dre Trina yelled a she walked up in my face with tears streaming down her face, I'm so tired of yo %#&@$! ways, I swear to God when we get back to Chicago I'm leaving. I grabbed my phone and cut it off I don't want to play Rhonda like that even though I was wrong for not telling her about my wife. Rhonda The phone hung up on me. I can't stop the tears from coming down my eyes. "Could it be"? Have I been so na ve that I couldn't tell rather Dre was married or not all these years, "I guess I just thought he was constantly busy because of the type of business he was involved with"? To think of it he never really spends the night with me, my head is pounding and now my stomach has a very queasy feeling. I rushed to the rest room just as I was about to vomit. All I can think of is oh my God I am pregnant by a married man, I called his phone a few more times only to get the voicemail. Now what do I do my parents has basically disowned me because I chose to be pregnant by a thug is what my dad would call him. I sat by the toilet and cried, I never thought of the consequences behind this. How could Dre do this to me? He could at least have told me. What have I gotten myself into? Looking in my bedroom mirror I look a mess, my hair had vomit in it, my breath stank and my stomach is doing flip flops. I know without Dre I can no longer afford this condo. His wife she must be a mess, even though she was rude I can imagine how I would feel if my husband was a liar and a dog at the same time. Picking up my phone I called Sheila. Sheila where are you? Can you please come over here. No I'm not in labor but I'd rather be. "What's wrong with you Sheila asked"? Dre wife just called me! Say no more Rhonda I'm on the way. Sheila I've known Dre and Trina since high school, but I won't dare tell Rhonda that. How could I when Dre supplies me with drugs I need to keep me going. Plus Dre has a reputation of being crazy  hell, I'm not getting in that man's business. Rhonda ain't strong enough for this type of stuff, I have never heard of her snapping off on Dre or nothing like that crazy a Chick Trina do. Shit! I need to be high before messing  with Rhonda cry baby %#&@$! any way, at first I felt bad because every time I see Dre he hit me with some of that white so I can get high, matter of fact I need to snort a line before I go over there and here this naive girl crying in my ear.

                           Dre

  "Where the hell is Charlie at"? I need him to go check on Rhonda for me, I know she's not built for this type of stuff I'm trying to take her through. I knew I should have told her about Trina, but of course being a man had to have my cake and eat it to. Plus for some reason I need Rhonda on my team, lately Trina been on some sneaky type of stuff, I can't quite put my finger on it but it's something going on with her. After we arrived back in Chicago she packed some clothes and went over to her mother's crib, and to tell the truth I really didn't give a damn about it either. Wife or not Trina had no reason touching my phone.  Trina don't appreciate anything I just spent damn there 20,000 on that trip shopping, dinning, and fine jewelry on her butt and she's still not satisfied. Damn, I don't want to call Rhonda knowing she's probably crying and %#&@$! because of my stupid butt, man that girl don't deserve this but I can't leave Trina.  Really I don't know where to go from here, once I get up with my cousin Charlie I'll go from there.
