CHAPTER 24

  Days later,

  Why do I have such bad fortune with men? Could it be karma from how badly I treat Xender? If so, I needed God to forgive me. I was younger and stupid, and I regretted it.

  I had learned my lesson the hard way, and now I realized my mistake and that I was too young for all the emotional trauma I have put myself through.

  I made a promise to myself that my next relationship would be my last. I was ready to wait till I found the one. There would be no more excitement over every little effort made by a man.

  I had now developed a strong aversion to men. I didn't even want them as friends anymore. Let everyone stay in their lane, I decided, it was time to let go of my soft heart.

  My sole goal was now to graduate from my Culinary college and simply hustle and build my empire one step at a time. No more time wasters, no more squandering my life, body, and energy in the trash.
