before I barged in the room to see what was up. Once I broke the door down, it was dark and I started bussin’ off. Once I turned the light on, the first thing I saw was Lisa naked in the bed screamin’. Man, my mind went crazy. I was so fuckin’ pissed that I wasn’t even focused on who she was in there wit’. Next thing I know, I had a gun to my head. Once he spoke, I couldn’t believe it was Los. I also couldn’t believe how the nigga had the audacity to tell me that he loved her. He went on and on about how I didn’t deserve Lisa because I didn’t know how to treat a real woman.”
“So, let me get this straight, my husband actually told you he loved Lisa?”
“Yeah.”
I smiled. “Is that the best you can do Rich? You know what, my patience is wearing thin, so please give me a reason not to fucking kill you right now!”
“Marisol, just listen to me!” he yelled as his eyes suddenly watered.
In all the years I’d known Rich, there was only one time I’d ever seen him cry, and that was when his mother died. He instantly got my attention once I saw some type of emotion.
“All I could think about was how me and you had slept together back in the day and maybe God was punishin’ me. I was hurt.”
“So, you killed him because of that bitch?”
“No, I didn’t kill him. I jumped on him and tried to beat the shit out of him, since I didn’t think he would shoot me. We were fightin’ like two dudes who didn’t even know each other when my gun fell. Next thing I knew Lisa was screamin’…tellin’ us to stop or she would shoot. She pointed my gun and everything, but we still didn’t stop. That’s when the gun went off a few times. At first I thought I was hit, but she’d missed me and hit Los. I didn’t know what to do at that point. The nigga I loved more than anything was dead in my arms. Lisa killed my brother, Marisol. Now you know why I hate her so much.”
To say that I was in shock would’ve been an understatement. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. My husband who I loved and mourned had been fucking Lisa right up under my nose. My heart ached, and I didn’t know how to react to this news. Sitting back down, I placed the gun on the table before running my hands down my face. This shit was a devastating blow.
“So, Rich tell me, how did Carlos end up in The Chesapeake Bay left to die?”
“He was already dead. I panicked and figured that I had to protect my kids. I didn’t give a fuck about Lisa, but I knew that if Uncle Renzo found out what happened, not only would he kill Lisa, d shoottake Denie and Juan’s lives as well. I covered up his murder to protect my kids. I know that I kept this from you, but I just didn’t know how to tell you. I wondered if you would expose the truth to Renzo.”
For some reason the soft spot I had for Rich was my weakness. As crazy as it seemed, I actually believed him. What was I to do now? My mind was all over the place and I needed more answers.
“So, what did Jade have to do with this and why would she say you killed Carlos?”
“That night I had a room and Jade was waitin’ for me. I was distraught once I got there and told her what happened. She was upset that I followed Lisa to begin wit’. She made it more about me and Lisa than her really understandin’ the bigger fuckin’ picture. She was always threatened by Lisa, and when I catch that bitch she’s gonna pay for this shit!”
“Well, just in case you didn’t know, Jade is dead, and her family thinks that you’re responsible.”
“What? Who told you that shit?” he asked with an alarming expression.
“Her brother Javier. Jade can actually rot in hell for all I care. No friend of mine that I treated like family would keep something from me and protect a dude she just met. Did you threaten her or something?”
“No. I was gonna tell you everything, but Jade felt it was best that you didn’t know. She’s the one who felt that you would go straight to Renzo
