ANTONIO'S PRISON VISIT 3 (CONT.)

Ivy's POV (cont.)

"Antonio," I said, in a calm and humbling voice. I sat back down and lowered my head.

"Why do you want me? You didn't want me before? All those things that you said to me, about me to everyone we knew and the things that you did to me…why? I don't understand, why? You can have your choice of any woman and you did after I left. I simply don't understand."

"Because, I love you. I always have."

"The truth is, after we fought, I left the apartment and went to one of my boy's house and passed out. When I woke up a couple of mornings later and went back to the apartment I was in shock and couldn't figure out what had happened. I immediately thought that someone had done something to you and the baby; so, I called Dominick and rounded up my boys to look for you and to figure out who hit my home."

"It wasn't until I spoke to Sean and he told me everything that had happened. I did not know. I thought it was a nightmare, an out of body experience because I could not believe that I did that to you. I couldn't accept it. I was so disgusted with myself; I broke down in tears in front of my boys. I immediately went to the hospital and they said that you had already been discharged."

"Ivy, I could not find you! It wasn't until you had Harley that I even found out where you were. When I saw you and Harley, my heart was overjoyed and sad at the same time. I did not know how to say I was sorry for what happened. My ego and pride would not let me do it."

"I could not face you and I thought that you couldn't possibly forgive me for what I did, because I could not. Even now, for all the progress that I thought I had made went right out of the window; just now."

"Ivy believe me when I say that I want you and need you and our daughter in my life. I will spend every fuckin' day of my life making it up to you; if you would give me just one chance; that is all that I am asking."

I sat for a long time listening to this man beg me for another chance. God, why am I so weak? Didn't I learn my lesson before? Every time I ever tried to trust him; he would always disappoint me. Why am I even considering his request?

Still thinking, why was I given the Gift of Mercy? Sometimes, I feel like it is more of a curse than a blessing. But I also know that everyone deserves a second chance.

"I see," Is all I could say.

The room became eerily silent. I broke the silence with a sigh and said, "I will consider your request. I will help you to get back on your feet. But Antonio, if I find out that you have lied to me or are lying to me, then all bets are off, and we will go our separate ways. Agreed?"

"Agreed. Listen, I have not allowed any other female to get close to me except for you. I have thought about no one, except you and our daughter. I promise that I will make it up to you for suffering all these years without my love and support. Ivy, I love you from the bottom of my heart and I will prove it to you. Please forgive me for all that I have said and all that I have done to you and Harley. Please baby, forgive me."

With that being said, I nodded my head in acceptance. Then we began to kiss. Just when things were getting hot and out of control; there was a knock on the door. Time was up.

We jumped up quickly, straightened our clothes and opened the door. We followed the guard back into the building. We were allowed to kiss and hug one last time, promising that I would come back in a week and we would talk and spend more time together.

As I began walking to the double door exit, I saw one of the bitches that I caught Antonio with in the past. She was a white girl named Sarah. She had red hair and blue eyes. The only reason why Antonio went for her was because she's ditzy as fuck and have big breast.

Almost in slow motion, I turned around to Antonio, looked at him and nodded my head towards Sarah. I looked back at Antonio again and said, "All bets are off."

Antonio's eyes grew big, when he realized what I saw and what I had said. "Nooooo! Don't do this Ivy", with pleading and begging in his voice; he began to run towards me panicking but was caught by one of the guards..

I stood there motionless, in disbelief, staring at him, shaking my head fighting back tears. I didn't even bat an eye as the guards came and took him away, as he continued to scream profanities in both English and Spanish. They dragged him out of the room. He knew the look in my eyes were of anger, sadness and betrayal. Re-adjusting my clothes; I calmly turned around to leave.

I wasn't scared of him in the least, to be honest. I know what he and his brother can do, I'm not an idiot. I've seen them come home covered in blood and get rid of evidence. But enough was enough.

Prison Talk , that's all this was; prison talk. I am just glad it was revealed to me before I left this prison. In a moment of weakness, I went against all I knew to be true and was about to give in. If he wanted to start this game, I'd be more than happy to finish it; any way I see fit.

Sarah was always a nasty looking female with crust around her mouth, dried lips and enough makeup on to look like a clown. And from what I can see, she's put on some major weight. Her ass seems flatter than before, if that is possible, and she has a muffin top.

He completely downgraded when he messed with her. The bitch was trailer park trash and sloppy as hell. Why did he do this? He could have at least hooked up with someone who had something going for themselves. White, Black, Yellow or Cocker Spaniel, it wouldn't have mattered, as long as, she was decent. She saw me and gave a fake smile.

"Bitch," her voice dripping with venom as she walked past me.

I responded, " Clown Trick" and kept walking out of the prison and tino the car that I had waiting on me. Had it not been the fact that we were in a prison right now, I would've love to slam her head into the wall. Not because she was there to see Antonio, but because she was so nasty looking. But I digress. She's not even on my level, so why give her any of my energy.

I apologized to the driver for having made him wait for so long. He didn't mind, since this was overtime for him. We started heading back to Miami.

When, Sarah started messing around with Antonio, she thought she was the shit. The 'hoe had a false sense of security and started talking so much shit on social media to me and any female who ever had a relationship with Antonio.

Back then, I would've loved the opportunity to cut her fuckin' tongue out of her mouth and make her swallow it. I really HATE it when some girls start sleeping with black or mixed guys and then try to act hard and hood.

If it wasn't for the fact that I was trying to keep a low profile, and not reveal myself; I would have made sure that she got her ass beat as often as possible. Although, this did eventually happen, several times.

Antonio and I had been together for seven years. It was shortly after our third year of being together when he did a 360 on me; suddenly, he began going out constantly. Parties, clubs, it didn't matter. Wherever the action was, he was in the mix of it. Coming home late at night high and drunk. There were a few times when he didn't come home at all.
