MONTY

Instead of coming straight home after my business trip, I decided to kick back near my old stomping grounds for a couple of days. I got a tip from one of my sources that Nia resurfaced.

The scenario was; she and whatever new boyfriend she had run through whatever money she had left and she decided to backtrack looking for more. Either that, or she wanted to come around and disrupt Sasha’s life by looking for a pity party. That was something I would go through hell and back to avoid.

Nia had been gone for five years. It wasn’t healthy for her to pop in and out of Sasha’s life whenever she felt like it and it was even unhealthier for me to continue paying her to say away. I never told Sasha, but I used to drop off money to an old mailbox for Nia to pick up.

When she first got hooked on drugs, I felt like it was my fault; she made me feel that way. So, I left money for her to be able to live, get help, or do whatever she needed to do to get better and come back home. However, she still has yet to do so.

I stopped three years in – realizing I was feeding her habit more than her stomach – but every now and then, I went back to the little small neighborhood I remembered her to be in, just to see if I would find her again.

“Hey, baby girl.”

“Hey dad, where are you? Rachel picked me up from school today … is everything okay?”

“Yeah,” I sighed. “Everything is alright. I just didn’t want you being home alone for too long. I'm still out of town. Business is running over a couple more days, so.”

Rachel was Nia’s homegirl from around the way. Her and I ended up becoming close through her and Nia’s friendship over the years. She was working her way through life at the time, but had dreams to go back to school and further her education to become a psychologist. During that time, Nia was busy with school and I was busy building my empire, so I offered to fund Rachel’s tuition if she moved in and helped us with our daughter. She agreed and got an all-expense paid life, and a God-daughter. Until, Nia started using and became jealous of her and I relationship. But shit, Nia wasn’t exactly wrong. Rachel was secretly in love with me and I knew. She just never overstepped her boundaries.

“Well, when will you be home?”

“Tomorrow? Why, is something wrong with Rachel’s place?”

“No. I love coming over here. I just like to be home more. That's all. I'm a teenager now, dad. I like my own room. My own space. My own privacy. And I'm not a kid anymore, I can take care of myself.”

“I know,” I chuckled. “I just like to know you’re good. It makes me nervous being so far away from you for too long.”

If it wasn’t for Rachel, some days, I didn’t know how I would raise a daughter on my own.
