    About this ebook

    Terrence James is back. He has gone on with his life, feeling no remorse for committing murder. However, someone seems determined to make him pay for his sins.

    His relationship with his mother is stronger than ever since she has overcome her drug addiction. But his situation with Tenesha is like a rollercoaster ride. When her son’s father returns home from doing a prison stint, the two butt heads. Terrence cares about Tenesha, but he is not in love with her and makes the decision to end the relationship. Trying to hold on can cause more harm than good for both of them.

    Getting involved in alterations with Tenesha’s baby daddy is the least of Terrence’s worries. Someone does a drive-by shooting on him and then his dead uncle’s belongings suddenly show up. Is his mind playing tricks on him or is Frank still alive and trying to kill him?

    Teresa D. Patterson

    Teresa D. Patterson came onto the literary scene with her debut novel, Project Queen, which was published by a small independent publishing company. It wasn't long before she realized having complete control over the creation and distribution of her books suited her better, compelling her to publish her own future works. Her first independent published novel was Ex-boyfriend. She went on to write several novels in multiple genres, which includes contemporary fiction, erotica, inspirational fiction, juvenile fiction, romance, and urban lit. She has written twenty-eight novels and co-authored one.

      CHAPTER ONE

      Terrence James sat in his vehicle with the engine humming softly as cool air from the vents circulated inside the interior. He relished being isolated and in peace when he took his lunch break every day at work. He’d given up eating in the break room because too many nosey women would bother him. Plus, he didn't like to hear them gossiping about the next woman or talking about dumb ass reality shows. He could care less about the real housewives of this city or that city. His co-workers all cackled like a bunch of hens, talked too loud and it got on his nerves. A few of them had even tried to come on to him, but he didn't fraternize on the job because that only led to trouble. He’d learned that the hard way a few years back when he’d hooked up with Tenesha, and he’d left her stranded at a hotel. She’d been furious with him and had brought the drama to the job, which caused an altercation, and he’d almost gotten fired. Thankfully, he’d only been suspended without pay and had been able to return to work once the suspension ended.

      No good ever came out of sleeping with the women you had a working relationship with. Three employees had recently gotten terminated due to fighting on the job. One of the ladies had found out her man was sleeping with the other lady and all hell broke loose. Terrance saw it all go down, too. He had stayed out of it because he didn't want to get hit by the wildly swinging women. Besides, it wasn’t his problem. If two broads wanted to scrap like stray alley cats over a no good man, they deserved to get terminated.

      D’Mario, the dude involved, would probably lose his job as well even though he’d gotten jumped by both enraged women. He’d only been protecting himself, but the powers-that-be probably wouldn’t see it that way. All they’d see was a man had hit a woman. It didn’t matter that those two women had beat the shit out of him before he’d finally gotten fed up and lit into their asses.

      Thinking back on that fight had Terrence shaking his head. Myesha had started calling D’Mario all types of names like bitch ass niggas, fuck nigga, and lame ass nigga. He hadn’t snapped until she’d said he was a lil dick havin’ ass nigga, and she’d slapped him in the face. Terrence didn’t know if it had been the insult to D’Mario’s manhood or the slap that had been the final straw. He’d hauled off and hit Myesha in the jaw like she was a man and the punch had laid her out. When Natrice saw how Myesha got handled, she’d backed off, but she hadn’t stopped. That’s when she’d grabbed a mop and hit D’Mario across the back with it. Of course, he’d wrestled the mop out of her hands and beat the brakes off her until the handle broke in half.

      Terrence didn’t feel bad for not breaking it up. He’d watched it unfold then went on about his business to tend to his patients. At least he hadn’t been like the rest of his co-workers: filming it to send to WorldStar or posting it on Facebook.

      He shook his head again. D’Mario had been a cool dude to work with. He just couldn’t keep his dick in his pants. Terrance had tried to warn him about fraternizing on the job, but he hadn’t listened. Now, he’d join the long list of people waiting to file for unemployment.

      Damn, D’Mario.

      Terrence’s thoughts switched back to Tenesha. Even after the incident where he’d almost gotten fired because of her, they had continued to hook up. Surprisingly, Tenesha had ended up being someone he could count on during a difficult phase in his life. Over time, they’d developed a relationship and had moved in together.

      Sometimes, Tenesha would cook and pack his lunch the night before. She wasn’t the best cook and could fuck up a simple meal. She’d start cooking and leave the kitchen to do something and forget the food on the stove. He’d come home to find whatever she’d been making a charred mess. Sometimes, the smoke would still be lingering in the air. After she’d cremated some expensive steaks he’d bought, he’d gone off. Since then, she’d gotten better with watching the food to make sure it wasn’t overcooked. But Tenesha still wasn’t a great cook. She didn’t season food the way his mama or grandma did. He couldn’t stand eating bland food. So he’d told her she didn’t have to cook, but to make him a sandwich since that was something easy. That day, she’d made him a tuna fish sandwich, which was his favorite.

      Terrence preferred to save money by packing his lunch every day. He had a goal to accomplish. He’d been saving towards a down payment on a house. He refused to waste money on rent once he moved out of Tenesha’s place. He’d already told her if she didn’t get right, she was about to get left. She could act like she didn’t believe him if she wanted. He wasn’t going to keep repeating the same thing over and over.

      He had stuck with Tenesha for almost three years, and she hadn’t made much progress. She’d changed, but only to the point of where he wouldn’t leave her. He felt like he was wasting his time with her because she didn’t have any goals or aspirations. In contrast, he had beaucoup plans and dreams.

      Over the years, he’d gone on to become a physical therapist assistant. He also did personal training on the side to earn extra income. He was determined to purchase his own home before the year ended.

      The front door of the nursing facility opened and his co-worker, Seth, headed out. Terrence ducked down because he didn’t want Seth’s talkative ass to spot him. Seth had just started working there at the beginning of the month as a dietary aide. He was an all right type of guy, but he just talked too damn much. He’d go on non-stop about moving to Ireland and what he planned to do once he got there. Terrence didn’t give a shit about Ireland; he barely cared about the United States. All he wanted was to get through the work day without motherfuckers talking his ear off. It’s not like he wore a friendly, inviting expression on his face that encouraged people to converse with him. In spite of him mean-mugging everybody, Seth had still gravitated towards him.

      He breathed a sigh of relief when Seth got in his car, started it and drove off, probably on his way to grab something from the Publix that wasn’t too far away. Seth had told him he was vegan and didn’t eat meat. Terrence gave him his props because he wasn’t going to give up meat anytime soon, if at all. He loved a juicy t-bone steak, barbeque ribs, chicken, sausages and everything that made a vegan cringe.

      Terrence’s thoughts shifted back to the house he planned to purchase. He mainly wanted it for his mother so she’d have somewhere to live. He didn’t want her to worry about anything so she wouldn’t go back to the streets and start using drugs again. She’d been clean and sober for almost two and a half years. She’d even managed to get a job at the Family Dollar as a cashier. She had become a mother Terrence could be proud of.

      He tried not to let his mind travel back to the past, but he had no control over certain thoughts. No matter how hard he’d tried to wipe out all memories of Uncle Frank, he couldn’t forget. He had no remorse for what he’d done. He’d saved his mother from a lifetime of pain. If he had to do it all over again, he’d do it in a heartbeat.

      Rest in hell, Uncle Frank, he muttered.

      He couldn’t bring himself to think of that man as his father. It was just disgusting and wrong. What his uncle had done to his mother really weighed heavily on his heart. He didn’t want to think about being the product of incest, but that’s exactly what had happened. Because of his deeds, he hoped Uncle Frank’s body was resting at the bottom of an ocean, never to be discovered. It would be even better if it had gotten mutilated and eaten by sharks and other sea creatures.

      Thinking about Uncle Frank killed his appetite. It didn’t matter because he’d
