CHAPTER 15

Chase

I never discovered the path to sleep that flight. Benny’s life was too interesting. I read more and more about him. He was a sick man who’d twisted my life into sadistic knots of pain and heartbreak. Static filled the pages. Illogical thoughts that mingled between pure logic. On one line madness flowed, on the other complete nonsense.

And then suddenly, Benny began to make sense.

Sophia.

She is why I walk this earth.

Her mind and spirit, they keep me safe in this dark road.

She is the light at the end of this cold tunnel.

She wraps me within her warmth

And I am a kid again, folded beneath the warm, softness of my blankets, smelling the scent of apple tarts in the kitchen, hearing the sweet lullaby of my mother as she whispered it to my younger brother.

That had never been my life, but it was what I dreamed it would be. A mother that loved. A younger brother that idolized me. My whole family soft, warm, and smelling good.

And that was Sophia.

And I did my best to consume her as much as possible.

Scar monitored her anytime I flew off out of the country for business. When I returned, I spent all of my free time with her. I took Sophia out on elaborate dates, the sort a black girl from South End would never experience in her lifetime. She had three boys. Bad and whiny in every way, but I kept my mouth closed. Did my best to show them what men looked like. She would need them to be there for her.

I forced them to grow up.

Sophia. Warm, soft, and smelling good.

Once I started spending money, she warmed to me. Made those freezing nights warm. Gave me new images to dream about, when I did my best to shut out all those torturous cries.

Sophia.

She told me she was pregnant.

I wrapped my hands around her neck and squeezed it hard. She didn’t even struggle. Just stared at me like she’d expected the whole thing. Dead eyes. The kind bad girls got from bad men. They burned through me and proclaimed that I was nothing more than her slave.

I let her live and released her neck. “I don’t need this shit right now.”

She fell back onto the bed and gasped over and over. Finally, tears spilled from her eyes. It was the only time I saw her cry. She would never do that again in front of me.

“I didn’t do this by myself.” She rubbed her neck and panted, her chest rising and falling fast. “I knew you didn’t love me! I tell you I’m pregnant and you try to kill me.”

“I do love you. I just can’t have any more kids. You know she’s pregnant.”

“Oh, say her name! Just fucking say your wife’s name!”

“Hey.” I raised my hand in front of her. “Keep it down. The hotel might call security.”

“Let them. Your ass needs to go to jail for putting your hands on me.”

“I lost myself.”

“Fuck you, you bitch ass motherfucker. Always talking about how you have morals and those rich guys don’t.
