“I know he calls himself having a crush on you, but why would he get into your relationship shit. Are you fucking him, Sage? I told him to stay the fuck away from you.”

I guess it was now or never.

“I’m not just sleeping with a random guy. It’s KD, and yes, we’re seeing each other, Supreme.” His eyes ballooned as if he was expecting me to say something different. I might as well add the fuel to the fire before it bursts into flames. “Well, actually, we’re doing more than seeing each other. We’re married.”

“Married! Since fucking when?”

Everything around us seemed to stop as Supreme stared at me wild-eyed like I had a head growing out of my neck. Why was I more nervous talking to my brother about my secret marriage than my own father? Obviously, both of us had forgotten that he was not my dad.

“Since I found out I was pregnant with JJ. I was scared and had no clue what I would do. Jaylen accused me of trying to trap him and told me to get rid of it. KD asked me to marry him and offered to help take care of us. I knew he would be there for me, so I did it. A couple of weeks later, when Jaylen acted like he’d come to his senses, I went and moved in with him. I tried to get our marriage annulled, but KD refused to sign the papers. Back then, it felt like a stupid mistake. Now, I feel like I’ve just been running from the inevitable my whole life.”

“So, my sister’s secret husband beat up her cheating baby daddy, and I’m completely in the blind on the whole thing. What y’all doing? Trying to get a reality show?

“I’m sorry. He wanted to tell you. I made him keep it to himself. I figured when me and Jaylen got engaged, I would push the issue, but that never happened.”

“Y’all are fucking crazy! The two of you have been married for ten whole years and just walking around here acting like nothing ever happened.”

“We’re in love, Supreme. I know how much your friendship means to him. I hope this doesn’t become a problem.”

“Is he good to you?” he quizzed.

“Yes, so good, better than I thought I deserved. That’s why I’ve always pushed him away. He’s been helping me work through that. He even got Jaylen to officially sign over the studio. I’m not sure if the paperwork will hold up in court since I’m like one hundred percent sure that they were signed under duress, but he got them for me. His lawyer already filed them and everything.”

“He’s such a fucking idiot,” Supreme mumbled.

His eyes shifted, and I followed them to the door where KD was walking out of the jail. Taking off, I jogged over and threw my arms around him. I didn’t even realize how much I would miss him until it was night and I was lying in his bed alone.

“I’m OK, Princess,” KD assured me.

“Good, because I’m going to kill you for getting arrested,” I said, shoving his shoulder hard.

“Did my guy file those papers for you?”

I nodded. “Yes, and thank you again, baby.”

“Not your pretty-boy ass getting locked up for putting hands and feet on a nigga,” Supreme teased as he walked up.

“He knows,” I whispered before backing up to give them space to talk.

KD shrugged. “I had to make shit right for my girl.”

“Your girl? From what I just heard, she’s way more than your girl. Seems like y’all forgot to let everybody in on your nuptials.”

“It wasn’t like that. I’ve always wanted what was best for Sage. Even when ol’ boy came back in the picture, I didn’t want to leave her alone. Just in case things didn’t go as planned, I wanted to make sure that she knew I had her back.”

“Y’all have to admit this shit is a little crazy,” Supreme said, shaking his head.

“Oh, it’s more than alittlecrazy,” I admitted.

“Love makes you do crazy things,” KD added.

“You’re right about that. So, it goes without saying that I don’t give a damn if youaremarried. I will still fuck you up about my sister.”

“I wouldn’t expect anything less.”

“And thank you for handling my light weight. I would probably lose every sponsor I have for kicking Jaylen’s ass. That don’t mean I wouldn’t do it for my girl.”

“I know, man. Now that the world knows she’s my wife, I plan to make sure she’s good for the rest of our lives.”
