screamed and burst into tears.
“Oh my God! No! Not my baby!” Her mother cried.
“Baby, I’m sorry!” Sharp cried out.
“We’re going to the hospital now!” Clover’s father said and the four were on their way.
Everyone was gathered at the Grady Memorial Hospital Emergency Room waiting on the police to finish their report. The doctor finished the rape kit and gave Clover a high dosage of antibiotics and emergency contraceptives because Kayson didn’t use a condom. Detective Mark Raven found Clover’s parents and began to brief them.
“Alright, we have everything we need for the arrest warrant. Kayson Brown will be charged with rape and battery of a minor and conspiracy to commit rape.” Mark informed.
“Why conspiracy?” Clover’s father asked.
“Because of Sharpiro Bryson’s statement.” Mark answered. “He mentioned that Kayson stopped by his place of employment at Burger King for something to eat and when he got off work he noticed the flat tire. We examined the tire. It was slashed deliberately.”
“That bastard planned this,” Clover’s father hissed.
“Most rapes are planned and the perp is usually acquainted with the victim.” Mark said. “Kayson is being picked up right now.”
Out of nowhere Opal barged into the ER like a bat out of hell. “Opal darling.” Her mother greeted but Opal was so pissed she didn’t even see her.
She bust into Clover’s room, rushed to her bedside and slapped her hard across the face. “Lying little slut!” Opal yelled.
“What the fuck is your problem?” Clover asked while rubbing her face wanting to know what’s gotten into Opal.
“Kayson told me what happened and that you would lie about it!” Opal yelled.
“What the fuck are you talking about?”
“Kayson said that you threw yourself at him and he accepted and that you would cry rape to cover it up!”
This nigga has completely brainwashed her! Clover thought. “You mean to tell me you believe that piece of shit! What the fuck is wrong with you? Your husband raped me!”
“Lying bitch!” Opal reached for Clover’s throat but Sharp and her father managed to pull her back and lead her out of the room. “Stank ass hoe! They arrested Kayson and took my car away for evidence because of your lying ass! I hate you bitch! I hate you! I’ll never forgive you! Do you hear me! Never!”
Clover cried in her mother’s arms. At that point, she felt like she lost everything. Her virginity, her dignity, her self-respect and now her sister’s love.
Chapter One
Present
“Alright kids, the limo is on its way to pick me up! Make sure you get all squared away for the wedding.” Clover announced to her three children Sharpiro Jr. bka Lil’Sharp, Samantha bka Sami and Myk, ages thirteen, ten and five respectively. The family is in the process of getting ready for Bray and Calista’s wedding which is being held at Bray’s aunt and uncle’s mansion: Skyla and Maximus.
“Yes Momma,” Sami said with a beautiful smile looking like a miniature version of Clover.
“Momma should I wear this tie?” Sharp’s twin Lil’Sharp asked while pointing at the red tie he was wearing.
“Since red is the wedding color, why not,” Clover said with approval.
“Mommy! I can’t find my socks!” Myk whined. He looked like he was about to tear up with his mother’s eyes and with his father’s smile turned upside down.
A mother’s work is never done! Clover thought as she let out a sigh. “Lil’Sharp, be a dear and help your brother find his socks and get dressed.”
“Yes Momma,” Lil’Sharp said and took Myk by the hand into his room so he could help him get ready.
Clover then turned to her handsome devoted husband and said with a sigh. “Baby, I’m counting on you to get them
