In Spite of the Bosset Life(2)

The judge didn’t like the fact of my case being padded. She promised whoever was behind it would be found and charged. There was no way they were saying I killed three people in various countries. It was plain crazy. The fact is, there wasn’t any records of me even going to Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. That’s what saved my ass. I hadn’t even been to those places but they tried to say I killed people there. The other body was found in St. Louis but at the time of that murder, I was in Dubai. Once again, whoever tried padding my case didn’t do they homework.

Judge Susie knew I wasn’t that cruel person they tried to paint me as. Abir showed Kori’s school records and how I kept her in the best school money could offer and how I worked hard in college. Abir was a smart man and used what I thought was the worst of me for my greater good. Even though I did work for Ace, it wasn’t my DNA they found with the drugs. It was a piece of the hair by KitKat that they found and they automatically thought a woman was doing all this. It clicked that there was no woman transporting with Ace. It was just Ace traveling and he was the founder of the hair company. They, once again, had no case. That hair could’ve been some woman from India.

They had no evidence on me and felt my story was true and heartfelt. My trash became treasure and that alone released me from behind bars. The judged saw that I was young and thought it was her place to say I was too young to be married anyway. She felt I was twenty-two and needed to focus on myself and shouldn’t had been wrapped up in a man’s mess. In my head I was saying ‘You let me out today and I find Ace, I’m sure I’ll be on my fifth murder charge.” I was young but far from being dumb. I knew what I was doing and I was gon be grown about mines. Yes, I got married at twenty-one but that didn’t mean I wasn’t capable of being in love. Just meant I didn’t know what all came with it to keep it and keep it going in the right direction. I wasn’t going to boo hoo and cry saying Ace tricked me into this bullshit. I was gon take responsibility and do my damn thang like I always did.

“I don’t want your money. I want you. Go on a date with me and that will be all I need,” said Abir sexually.

“I’m a married woman who is six months pregnant. I’m afraid I can’t.”

“Maybe you’ll change your mind…oh yeah, some of your things were seized but it will all be delivered back to you by next week. The accounts are still frozen but I think that’s better than nothing.” I accepted Abir’s business card and got out. I was home and couldn’t wait to see my baby sister. I walked up to the front door and rubbed my belly. The house was the same but I could no longer feel my husband presence.





Chapter 2



“Majesty, we home,” I said, talking to my baby girl. Tears was running down my face as I opened the door. Kori was right there hugging me for dear life. Kash was right there and it seemed he got taller. He too rained kisses on me. I missed my babies very much. The smell of the house was the exact same and it eased me.

“I’m so glad to be home,” I said holding Kori tight. I rocked her back and forth. She wasn’t saying anything but was crying like a baby. “I’m sooo sorry sis.”

“Oh se! (Yes) Mrs. Jordan! Mi so feliz! (I’m so Happy).” Unni had tears coming down and had her hands clashed together. Unni was afraid she would be sent back to Mexico due to my incarceration.

“Mi muy feliz ser en mi casa (I’m very happy to be in my home),” I said to Unni.

“I was so scared Koì. I thought you wasn’t coming home,” said Kori, not letting me go.

“I’m not never leaving you again. I love you guys so much.”

“Mom, where’s my dad? Do you know where my dad at?” That was a question I was not able to answer. I had told Kash originally that Ace was out on business. Now, it was time for the truth. It had been months since anyone saw him. Three months and fifteen days to be exact. I sat everyone down, including Unni, because she was a part of our family now. I explained that Ace had gotten himself in some trouble. There was nothing no one could do. I told them Ace was probably dead by now, since the Feds didn’t get him but instead picked me up. I told them why I went to jail and how it tied in with Ace. I tried to be honest as possible but I didn’t want to change their outlook on Ace.

“So because of my dad, they came for you. That’s not fair,” said Kash.

“I know. Things are going to be different. A lot of changes around here. Ace is not here. We have to move on.”

“That’s my brother! I looked up to him like my daddy. Hell, that was my dad! He did everything for me. Now you want me to forget about him? What if he needs us right now? We just gon act like he never existed? No! Ace wouldn’t do us like that,” said Kori, breaking down.

“I didn’t say forget him. What do you want me to do? I have no clue where he went that morning. I’m pregnant with his child! You think I can just forget all about my husband? That would be impossible,” I said, standing up. “I just want everybody to be realistic on this. Ace is gone. I don’t know if he’s coming back…I’m going to take a shower,” I said, walking to where Ace and I use to make passionate love at. Before I opened the door, I decided to go down to the theatre room. I sat in the same chair I did months ago when we were watching movies all night. I sat and cried for hours. I missed my husband so much. I wished he just come home and end all this madness. I popped in the same disc Ace had left for me to watch when he first left. I cried watching the whole thing and re-watched it ten times. I fell asleep to Ace telling me, “I’ll always live in your heart and my baby girl’s heart.”
