Ophelia needs some serious help. I don't feel bad for Raymond, but I do hurt for Ophelia because right now she's lost. She's been dealt the worst of hands by her mother and Raymond. At first I was pissed off with her because revenge never works and for someone who knows what pain is, to try and get revenge pissed me off to the highest degree, but now that I let it simmer, I feel sad for her. She's scarred real bad!

As for Bennie's and Keisha's relationship I love it. It's straight forward and it's a great break from the craziness between Ophelia and Raymond 

Thanks for the update!

Ophelia has pissed me off to inth degree I really don't want her story to end happily.  I want her to deal with some lose from her depraved actions.  There is a part of me that wants Bennie to drop out of her life becasue her actions show that she doesn't really love him.  A twelve year old should not raise a child.  Children lack that emotional and mental maturity to probably raise a child.  Hell there are a bunch of adults who should've procreated.  In Ophelia case she has Margie as momma so she only knew what not to do.  This is all kinds wrong!!

love your work more soon

I don't think that Benny is being too hard on Ophelia. Yes she went trough hardships and her mother did not do a good job and failed her. But just because of this, doesn't mean that Ophelia should get a free pass when she is doing wrong. I understand that she went trough stuff and what not, but that still does not mean that Bennie should accept her behavior. He tried to talk her out of her stupid revenge, he wanted to help her, he encouraged her to press charges against Raymond yet she refused and did her own thing and behind his back. Benny even encouraged her to go to therapy. He even told her that he has a therapist that she can talk to. But she refused and told him that she wasn't crazy. She lied to Benny and said that she won't marry his father and that the only thing she wanted was her revenge.

So just because Raymond and Margie did wrong Ophelia doesn't mean that Benny shouldn't reprimand her for her doing. Ophelia does need therapy I agree with that, but she is not stupid. She knows damn well that what she is doing is wrong. I think that because we feel sorry for what she went trough we failed to see that Ophelia is being totally selfish. All this revenge thing is just an excuse. She still has this stupid and sick fantasies of her and Raymond being a family even though she doesn't want to admit it. If what she wanted was another baby, to make up for her loss of Teddy, she could have gotten it with someone else. But she wanted it to be Raymond’s baby. She want his baby and then she will be the one in control?? Ridiculous.

Well Bennie has gotten some more truth about his mother's condition from finding the receipt that was of his grandmother taking money from Ray to get Bennie away from Ophelia.  That opened up a lot of confusion for me as well.

Yes, Bennie needs to talk to his mother and stop being so hard on her.

Bennie and Keisha have finally admitted their feelings for each other.  That was deep to what Keisha confessed about her cousin.  That is a start of intimacy to to let go and let him into her life and heart.

Great update.

Thank you for sharing.

awwww

Ophelia is working my nerve and I am so disgusted with her, Raymond and Margie.  Margie you failed your daughter twice first with the drug use and then when allowed Raymond to get away with raping Ophelia.   She is sick in the head and you didn't get hef any pyschological help but Margie needed some herself.  Someone needs to explain to Ophelia that an eleven year old doesn't know what being in love is about.  She romantized her rape and Rayomd needs to be under the jail.  I want Ophelia to lose that baby, the state needs to step in take custody once the baby is born. This is all kinds of wrong! I love Abigail she is the truth and light! This is some reading! 

Ophelia's scaring me and I'm scared for her and Raymond. What if she pushes him to hard and he relapses an dies she could really be in some major trouble and lose baby Justice in the process. What will happen when Raymond is well enough to take care of himself? He's a determined man with a sharp mind an strong will. Does Ophelia think he will forget her Dr. Jekyll & Hyde a behavior? Ophelia needs some serious counseling before everything blow a up in her face.

It's good to see Raymond finally getting a taste of his own medicine.I am slightly scared of Ophelia.......I mean I understand she wants to manipulate and control Raymond's life like he did her's but she's acting ape s**t crazy....She should really get help...She was sneakin to his room when she was a kid and that is really not normal.I hope Bennie understands her mental state and helps Ophelia before it's too late.I think Ophelia should know about her mother's deeds because like every coin has two faces,Ophelia knows only one side of the story and she should know that Margie is equally responsible for her separation from Bennie as much is Raymond.....She really failed to be a good mother.Reallly glad Bennie took a step forward in his relationship with Keisha,they deserve happiness together.

I really love this story. Bennie is a sweetheart. I hope Ophelia and Raymond actually get to be happy with baby Justice and Bennie.

Such a great Chapter!

Beenie and Keisha are so sweet

If you're not already a published author, you definitely need to be!! Your writing is AMAZING!!! There is just so much in this chapter. I had to re-read it a second time just to make sure I absorbed everything. I definitely don't know about Ophelia and this so called "method" to her madness, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens next. Love this story. Please update soon!!  

Hell Yeh Bennie you tell Kevin hell that girl is NA-STY! 

Also Ophelia got herself in a big wormhole. Good luck getting out hunny. I'm with Bennie on this one. I feel just as betrayed as he does and mostly because of all the lying and her ridiculous revenge plan. Knew that was going to backfire one way or the other...smh

Thanks for the update!
