    About this ebook

    Ebony's fallen into a new whirlwind relationship with Darius, but not everything is as rosy as it seems to be. They both have doubts of their own jaded pasts that have left them struggling to come to terms with what they have.

    It isn't made any easier when Dina meets an unexpected woman from Darius's past to discover the truth about him. What started off as an attempt to protect her friend has become something much deeper that has made Dina question whether she's doing the right thing.

    Will Ebony and Darius finally reveal the truth about themselves? Is this mysterious woman set on breaking them up?

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Trusting the Truth 2 - Bre Simone

      One

      Dina

      The afternoon sun was hot that day, which made the task of folding laundry even more annoying. Even with the fan on and the windows open, I could find no relief from the heat. The feel of the still-warm laundry against my skin wasn't helping matters either, so I put aside my shirt folding to get myself a drink. The iced tea I poured for myself certainly hit the spot and worked wonders on cooling me down.

      Since the phone call a few days ago, I'd been playing the scenario over and over again in my head as to what this girl was going to tell us. Each conversation was different from the last, each one containing some horrible bit of news that would solidify ending Ebony's relationship. Multiple children from different wives, maybe he'd abused her, perhaps drugs were involved, and maybe Darius was hiding all of this behind his church-going persona. A bit of a stretch of the imagination, but he wouldn't be the first person who'd tried to pull off this kind of life switch, especially in this area.

      I knew his face was familiar the first time I saw him, and a flood of dread poured through me. I just couldn't put my finger on it. It had to be more than just a bad feeling; there was something to his face that I couldn't trust. I just didn't know why.

      Most importantly, what I didn't want was for Ebony to get swept up in the whole mess and find herself hurt all over again. Not if my gut feeling ended up being right.

      I was just about to get back to taking care of my laundry when Ebony exited her room, humming a pleasant song that grated on my nerves for some reason. If only she knew... I just needed the proof first, and everything would come together. Then she would thank me for it. For now, her pleasant mood could only mean one thing.

      You're looking cheerful, I commented in passing, as she crossed the room with a jar of paint, water, and brushes in her hand. I had a feeling I already knew why she was so happy, but I wanted to hear it from her myself. The bad taste from our last argument was still in the back of my throat.

      It's just a good day, I guess. She shrugged with her noncommittal answer and dumped her slightly green water into the sink. Her wooden brushes soon followed and clattered around in the sink as she rinsed them off.

      Apparently, giving her the chance to be honest with me wasn't going to work either, so I decided to cut through the bull.

      You're seeing Darius again tonight, aren't you? I felt my words cut through the pregnant silence, and I saw her shoulders stiffen in response. She sighed and turned to me, leaning against the countertop for support.

      For your information, I'm not. We're going to a church function tomorrow evening.

      Her reply was a bit cold, and it sent shivers down my feverish arms. I knew she felt like I was intruding in her life again, and the look in her eye told me that I should leave well enough alone. But that's not just me.

      And before you ask, I'm happy because my interview made it to print, complete with the pictures of my paintings. It'll be good for business. Satisfied?

      I found my gaze drifting from her face, unable to meet her eyes. She was silently accusing me of not minding my own business. She was right, but not for the reasons she thought. I needed to find out when she was meeting Darius again and if it was taking place before or after I met this woman on the phone.

      I'm happy for you, I reluctantly replied and plastered the best smile I could on my face. Were you going to show it to me?

      The look in Ebony's eyes softened a bit as she retreated to her bedroom and returned with the newsletter in her hand. The pages were still crisp, and I flipped it open to find her story on page two. The photos were all in greyscale, but the quality was still crystal clear. Whoever had taken these photos knew what they were doing.

      Is that...?

      I spied a familiar painting in one corner of a photo; they'd obviously been to her studio, but the place wasn't really big enough for her to get the many paintings in the background out of sight. There was the half-done portrait of a face I knew all too well.

      Does that mean Darius knew about Oman? Had she explained that portrait to him? Or had Darius seen it as just another undone painting and left it alone?

      As much as my curiosity wanted to find out, I was already on a few of her last nerves.

      ...your studio? I finished.

      Ebony's shoulders sagged a little more, possibly in relief that I wasn't prying into her personal life with any more questions.

      You've finished a lot more paintings since I've been there. I wish these photos were in color.

      Well, you're always busy or tired or you hate the smell of paint, so I just thought you weren't interested in coming over anymore.

      I couldn't say that wasn't true since sitting there, in her studio, was literally like watching paint dry. I couldn't talk; I couldn't do anything except watch her paint and listen to whatever music she chose for the day. Not the best way to spend my time, so I'd come up with excuses not to go.

      Well, if this works out, are you going to be showcasing your work? Do you need some help in selling from your studio? I don't know why I was offering to help, but it was the only olive branch I could think of extending.

      I don't know. I thought you didn't want anything to do with Darius and I. She gently tugged the newsletter out of my hand and carefully folded it up again. I didn't know what answer to give, except the inevitable.

      You're right. You're absolutely right, Eb. I grabbed her wrist before she could escape back to her bedroom and turned her around. "The way I treated the both of you was dreadful, and I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being horrible and that I made things more difficult for you when you're supposed to be moving on. Seeing you when you're around him, it's obvious that he's a pretty decent guy, so
