Chapter 14

Micah

I SIGHED. “ONE-POINT-four million.”

I took a swig of my whiskey as I sank farther into my couch.

“Holy shit, one-point-four million dollars,” I whispered.

One million four hundred thousand dollars. I couldn't shake that figure out of my head. The fundraiser had been an absolute smash. Sierra knocked the damn thing out of the park, for crying out loud. But, that figure made me choke. It made me sweat. It made me pant. And I had to leave the club early last night in order to keep myself from doing something I knew I’d forever regret.

My God, I could use one-point-four million.

I drained my third glass of whiskey and clamped it between my legs. I leaned my head back, gazing up at the ceiling on a random Sunday afternoon. Sierra was coming over tonight. Bringing pizza and a slew of movies for us to choose from to watch. I wanted to cancel, though. I didn’t want her to see me like this. Dressed in yesterday’s clothes. Reeking of booze. My hair, uncombed for days now. Just washed and air-dried, with nothing else done to it.

“You look like shit,” I murmured to myself.

I caught my reflection in the blank television set and snickered. I plucked my glass from between my thighs and brought it to my lips, only to remember that it was empty. I wanted another drink. I needed another drink. But I forced myself to set the glass off to the side.

I need to stop drinking.

I had no idea how the hell I was going to make this money to pay Butch back. Was it possible to throw a fundraiser for a destitute business owner who frequently acted like an idiot? Because right now, I was running on borrowed time. I needed money, and quickly. Even if I drained every account I had—personal and business—I still didn’t have the money Butch required of me. And I sure as hell wasn’t asking to borrow that kind of money either.

Sierra would help you.

Yes, but that meant admitting I was lying to her.

She already knows you’re lying to her.

So, why throw salt on the wound?

So Butch doesn’t kill you, that’s why.

He won’t kill me.

“He’s just going to break all your bones,” I murmured.

I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what the right move was. The actual right move had already passed me by because I was drunk off my ass and pissed off at that fucking machine. I lobbed my head over to the side. I looked at the empty whiskey glass. I scooped it up and stood from the couch, trying my best to walk upright.

But I stumbled along until I caught myself against the kitchen counter.

And my glass went shattering to the floor.

“Oh come on! That was genuine crystal!” I exclaimed.

I grimaced as I stepped over the mess. I needed water. I needed to sober up. I needed to think through this clearly, because I needed a way out. I yanked my fridge open and reached for a bottle of water.
