"You lied to me," my mother whispered, her eyes turning red from anger and what could only be seen as betrayal.
"You're the one to speak?" I replied bitterly.

"I want my wife and my children back, and if anyone stops me, it will be a war nastier than anything ever imagined," Kash warned, this time choosing not to remain at a distance.
He began to step down the aisle, while Walkin and some of the warriors behind him rushed toward my children.
There was a sense of hope for survival. I mean, Kash did not accept my love, but at least I was not caged or bound by him. I was not forced into doing something I did not want to do.
More importantly, there was no gun and no threat to my children while living with Kash. However, the bitterness was still there.
Where I stand today is because of Kash alone. He drove me away from himself.
