[Truth Be Told- Chapter 9: No more Faith]
[Flashback]
Drew: Kierra please go to bed and we'll settle your punishment in the morning.
Kierra: I hope you and Mommy settle your divorce in the morning too.
Karen: Kierra.
Kierra: I hope you know Mommy cheated on you.
Kierra went to her room and slammed the door leaving the couple in silence.
Drew stared down Karen and the hall was filled with anger. Karen put her head down in embarrassment and Drew looked at her with hurt.
Drew: Karen, Is it true?
Karen: Is what True?
Drew: What Kierra said, Is it true?
Are you cheating on me again?
Karen: No what are you talking about?
Drew: Karen. My daughter is not gonna lie about something like that.
Karen: I didn't cheat.
Drew: Alright. KIERRA COME HERE FOR ONE SECOND
Kierra came into the hall after a minute and stood in front of Drew
Kierra: Yes Dad?
Drew: Kiki what did you see?
Kierra: Huh?
Drew: What did you see, for you to say that you caught your mom cheating?
Kierra: Well...You're not gonna be upset with me, right?
Drew: No
Kierra: Okay...Well, I saw Mommy naked on the bed and the guy was lying on Mommy between her legs, they were making a lot of noises. J Drew and I came in to ask Mommy for some money for some ice cream. We thought it was you but it wasn't because your car wasn't there.
Drew: Okay Kierra, thank you.
Go back to bed, baby.
Kierra kissed her dad on the cheek and went back to bed.
Drew: Wow...Wow. I'm not even about to argue I'm just gon leave.
Karen: No you're not.
Drew: The hell I am!!
He yelled and his void echoed through the house.
Drew: I'm leaving because I don't want anything to escalate while my kids are here. My mama taught me not to put my hands on women. But in my house Karen.
In the house, we built. So we can spend the rest of our lives happy and together and away from our past. And you do this.
Not once and not twice. I gave you chances before over and over.
So what in your right mind makes you wanna go back and do this again?
Any other man would've probably killed you by now but I never disrespected you in any kind of way but you, you just keep disrespecting me.
And our kids. You got it good.
You got it made. But you don't care.
Let me go out here and get some girl pregnant and you'll lose your mind.
I told you I wanted to move out and you lost your mind but it's fine.
Ight. Cool, I'll remember that.
