Chapter 19 Summary

Dray comes to Fabiola’s house. He calls out to Donna, who refuses to see him. Fabiola hides behind a door so Dray will not see her. Matant Jo urges Donna to speak with Dray, but she menacingly warns Dray not to harm her daughter. Donna comes out of her room and accuses Dray of cheating on her with a white girl. Donna mentions something about Q bailing Dray out of jail. Fabiola is concerned that the information she provided Detective Stevens was insufficient, since Dray was released from jail. Dray tells Donna that she has nothing to worry about and says that he loves her. Matant Jo tells Dray to leave. As he heads to his car, he locks eyes with Fabiola, who is looking at him from a window on the upper level of the house. She thinks about destroying him.
