You're Not Going to Break Me

By Bishop Freeman E. Ingram Sr

This book is about a church man named Greg, his wife, Beverly, and her lover, Buster (who is also her husband's business partner). The story whirls around deception and lies as Beverly has her priorities in the wrong place.



Beverly, not considering the consequences of her behavior, particularly what her husband would have to endure and the embarrassment it would cause to him, takes him through a series of deceptive episodes.



However, Greg's church mother (Mother Beal) and a family friend, Ms. Johnson, felt the whole while that Beverly had a hidden agenda to deceive her husband. The truth unfolds and it all comes to light in an unusual way.

INTRODUCTION

IF

NOT

MINDFUL

IT

COULD

HAPPEN

TO

YOU

This story is about a young lady

and her views about life, having her

priorities in the wrong place.

However, at the cost of others, she

makes some bad decisions. She has

a hidden agenda to deceive her

husband, not considering the

consequences of her behavior,

particularly what her husband would

have to endure and the

embarrassment it would cause.

Later she has a change of heart

about her husband and the state

of their marriage. But her sins

have found her out to be

what she is.

Matthew 6, 9-13

Our father, which art in heaven,

hallowed be thy holy name. Thy

Kingdom Come. Thy will be done in

earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this

day our daily bread. And forgive us

our debts as we forgive our debtors.

Lead us not into temptation. But

deliver us from evil: For thine is the

kingdom, and the power, and the

glory, for ever.

Amen.

CHAPTER 1

BEVERLY’S

LIES

AND

THE

COST

It had to be in the month of September when Greg invited Beverly to a company social.

But he’s not nothing to run and call mother about. Beverly adds, If my mother was still living. Buster says, I’m sorry to hear that, Beverly. But you really don’t know who Greg is. Greg can make all your wildest dreams come true. Buster said, Girl you got it made if you want it. Hey, Greg seems to really be into you.

Beverly replies, Say what Buster. What are you saying? Greg really got money like that. Beverly swiftly responds to Buster. Beverly’s eyes brighten up and her continence lifts as if she was just resurrected from the dead. She suddenly displays a wide smile across her face like Fourth of July fireworks. Buster makes an exit immediately when he sees Greg making his way back over to Beverly.

Greg then returns with two clear sodas. He then begins to inquire as to whether Beverly was seeing with anyone. She spoke with much humor and said, I’m seeing everyone in here. Greg smiles and replies to Beverly, "What a
