Sugah & Spice (45 page)

Richard didn’t wanna hear about Charlotte with another man, but he knew that she was once married and it was selfish of him when he too had been married. He wasn’t naïve to think that she wasn’t with anyone before, but he didn’t have to hear about it
in detail
. He didn’t share those kinds of
details to her about his marriage, although there weren’t many to share. He got out of his feelings and focused his undivided attention to what Charlotte was saying.

“
When Sugah was born, that seemed to help our marriage.
Clove was a natural at parenthood, while I was scared to death. I barely wanted to touch her in fear that I might hu
r
t her in some way. He did everything for Sugah. He
loved her so much and was a big help.
Every bottle, he prepared. Whenever she needed a clean diaper, he changed it. In my eyes Clove was the perfect father. Sugah adored him. He taught her how to tie her shoe
s
, spell her name, ride a bike, and even
to
read. Sugah was a very gifted child. She excelled in everything, and way before her time.
I wanted to put her in daycare
so she could learn more and be around other children, as well as
get a job to help out, but Clove insisted that I stay home with her instead. I later found out that he didn’t want me in town because he had been
showing off Rose as
his woman.
Everyone thought that she was his wife. I even learned months later that Rose was a big part of Sugah’s life because of her relationship with Clove.
I was furious to know that he didn’t respect our marriage enough to bring our child around his whore!
”

Charlotte threw up her hands. She still wanted to make them pay for ruining her and her child’s happy home. She quickly composed herself when she saw the way Richard was looking at her. There was sadness in his eyes. He probably thought she was still in love with Clove, and he couldn’t be farthest from the truth. Charlotte wanted the man she once loved dead, and if she had her way, she would make that a reality when she located him. Reaching over to rub Richard’s hand, she apologized for her outburst. “I’m sorry! This is just really hard for me to talk about,” she whispered softly. Sighing heavily, Charlotte continued her trip down memory lane.

             
“Well, months passed and things seemed okay. We made love, talked, laughed, and just enjoyed each other
again
. Everything changed
months later
after I found movie stubs, dinner and hotel receipts
, and lipstick on his collar
.
Sugah was about five or about to turn five at the time.
I con
fronted Clove about him and Rose,
and he quickly became offensive
, even though he never denied anything
.
He was smooth
, charming, and it wasn’t until years of being deceived by those traits, that I knew just how much I was being played like a fiddle.
After I fussed and cursed him with my tongue, he took me to our bedroom and made love to me like never before.
There was just something about that man and the way he…

Charlotte stopped talking thinking about the way Clove screwed her little brains out, pleasuring her pussy with his tongue and hands first to get her ready for his penetration. He was a great lover, smooth talking and could always with her to do whatever he wanted after sexing her senseless.
“Ahem…
When I woke up the next morning he and Sugah were gone. He took my baby away from me
!” Charlotte felt tears kiss her cheeks. She wiped them away with her hand. “
I called the police but since he was her father, it wasn’t called kidnapping.
They told me that I should just
go
on home and wait for them to return. They said that that sort of thing was normal in relationships like Clove and I’s.
I tried to find her, I truly did but I couldn’t.
I never gave up or lost hope that she would be returned to me.” Charlotte sat silently a few minutes to compose her emotions before going on.

“
Sugah was gone away from me for months
.
Richard
those were the worst moments of my life. I passed the time by going back to school
, e
arning my high school diploma
,
and getting a job at the local hospital.
I wanted to become a nurse, so I devoted all of my time in accomplishing that goal.
One day I was on my way to the cafeteria to get something to drink
during my shift at the hospital
when I saw a man, a woman and t
wo
little girls. I knew one of them was Sugah because when she saw me, she tried to run to me.
Clove pulled her back toward him and she screamed out in pain.
”

             
Charlotte’s voice got shaky. She fought her tears but they won the battle. Richard held her in his arms until she was ready to go on. “
I’m sorry”, she said before going on. “
Anyway, I confronted Rose and Clove right then and there.
Both of them seemed guilty of something.
The little girl and Sugah
looked identical
.
She was like twelve or so and Sugah was only five.
She wouldn’t look at me in fact she kept her eyes on the floor.
That day broke my heart because I learned after the doctor came to examine the girls that they had been molested and badly beaten. I just hated that the person responsible for such devious
act was Clove. He turned out to be a pedophile. I should have known something by my being so young, and how he wanted a child
like me,
over a grown woman
like Rose
.
The hospital
called the police and Clove
and Rose
went to
jail
.
Rose was later released, but Clove was sent to prison.
Sugah was admitted into the hospital because she
was worse off than the other
girl
. I guess she was the newest and youngest, so he took his pleasure in having her other the older child.
Rose cried when Child Services
took away the other little girl, who was also her daughter, by Clove
. She blamed me for it, threatening to get back at me for it someday.
Yes, Sugah has a half-sister out in the world somewhere. She must have forgotten or they didn’t tell them because she has never mentioned her once since that day. It’s almost as if she completely blocked it out of her mind.
”

             
Richard couldn’t process all the information, so he just remained silent and listened.
Tears fell from his eyes.
How was it possible for one woman and child to endure so much pain in one lifetime? He wanted to love and protect them now more than ever, and he would if it killed him. He wished that he could have gotten his hands on Clove, just once. He wouldn’t be alive to tell anyone about it! Richard shook his head to keep from getting too upset, although what Charlotte was telling him was making that ext
remely hard. But he listened on, vowing to locate Clove and make him suffer for all the pain he caused the woman he now loved, and her lovely daughter, he also cared deeply for. He control
led
his rage focusing his attention back on Charlotte as she went on.

“Once I was able to take Sugah home, we moved away and started over. I told her some bogus story about her father, even had a police friend of mine give her
some
bullshit ass story about him being
a hero killed trying to help some
one being robbed to keep her dream of him being such a great man alive. I never told her the truth. I never saw Rose or
h
e
r
daughter
again, although I called to check
on her to see how s
he
was
doing.
I think that our
past has finally caught up to us. Richard we have to call Sugah to see if she is okay. I had a horrible dream that something bad happened to her. Can you call her for me
, please
?”

             
“Sure, I’ll call Sugah but I have a question? Is Clove still in prison? When was the last time you heard from him?” Charlotte recalled the last conversation she had with her husband. He had somehow gotten her number and called her. He apologized about everything that happened and promised to never contact her or Sugah again.
He also granted her a divorce without putting up a fight when she sent him the papers in jail.
She believed him, but in that moment
as she thought about Sugah
her heart skipped a beat. She didn’t know if Clove would keep his promise, but if he ever came near Sugah, he would be sorry!

             
Once she told Richard all that he wanted to know, he called Sugah. She didn’t answer and Charlotte knew then that her baby was in trouble. She didn’t have any way of getting in touch with Coffee or the others, but as soon as the thoughts crossed her mind Richard was on the phone.
He still had Coffee’s contact information programmed in his phone for future reference. When he called and there was no answer, his guts told him that Charlotte wasn’t wrong to become alarmed. But what could they do, except wait.
But the voice in Charlotte’s head was getting louder and louder, telling her that Sugah was in trouble!

             
Rose smiled knowing that she was finally ready to get her revenge on lit
tle miss perfect Charlotte. All
those years of missing out on her life with the man she loved plagued her rage. Now that she had her daughters
’
love and acceptance again, she could complete her plan of attack. She zipped in and out of traffic, careful not to cause an accident. That was the last thing s
he needed. Setra
forgave her
for all the bad things that happened to her. Rose was happy because when she found out that Setra and Charlotte’s daughter knew each other, she saw her opportunity and hadn’t turned back. Rose hoped that her plan worked before Setra knew that she only used her to seek her revenge
, or that Sugah was her sister
. She didn’t love her, hell she never wanted any children but she wanted
the
man who did, so she was forced into making bad decisions in order to get and keep him. Well, thanks to Charlotte she was cheated of the chance to be with him and live happily ever after. Clove was and
would forever be
the love of her life. She would get him back, Rose proclaimed.
A
s long as the
rest of those
bastard
s
didn’t interfere with her plans
, she wouldn’t be forced to kill but one person
.

             
Her life of loneliness and unhappiness were over with. It was now time she got a second chance, and Clove was the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. She just needed to find him and make things right between them again.
She knew that he was out of prison, but she didn’t know how to contact him. She hoped that he would find her and show up on her doorstep, but that hadn’t happened and it had already been three months.

Sugah was just the right person to help her with that be
for
e she allowed Setra to put a bullet in her beautiful head.
She w
ould take the fall, be sent away to prison, were Rose wouldn’t have to ever speak or hear
from her whining, needy ass
again.
But would her world come tumbling down before she got a chance to be with the man she loved? While Rose was plotting her next move, her daughter had already one-upped her! Who would get the last laugh
in the end
?

Coming Soon!!
