CHAPTER 27

A suspicious mind knows no peace.

Back when Lincoln had first discovered that Chevonne was involved in an extramarital affair, he’d checked her cell phone records for the previous four months. He’d figured out which number belonged to her ex-sex partner, Raheem. Though tempted, he’d never called the number. But through his own detective work, he’d concluded that Chevonne and Raheem were no longer having a fling.

But after last night, he wasn’t so sure. Sitting at his desk at work, he pored over the most recent Verizon Wireless bill, scrutinizing every number, searching for the ten digits that belonged to Raheem. There wasn’t one call made to or received from Raheem’s number in the past month.

Maybe Chevonne hadn’t whispered Raheem’s name in breathless passion last night after Lincoln had made love to her. Maybe she was telling the truth. It was all in my mind, Lincoln concluded. Chevonne wanted their marriage to work as badly as he did. Forgiveness meant letting go of the past and moving on.

His rationale mind implored him to move on. But on an emotional level, Lincoln knew that he couldn’t—not until he’d dealt with the slimy mechanic.

Lincoln’s brother Earl came to mind. Lincoln and Earl were as different as night and day. A womanizer, Earl had irresistible good looks and an aversion toward gainful employment. Lincoln, on the other hand, wasn’t bad-looking. But he was very much, an average-looking guy. He had family values and a strong work ethic.

Earl still held on to that gang-banger mentality, so he’d be eager to put in some work for a couple of dollars. Trouble was, Earl moved from place to place. His last place of residence was with some chick that lived way out in the northeast. Lincoln scrolled through his cell phone, looking for Earl’s most recent number.

All of Earl’s relationships culminated in Earl and his few possessions getting tossed to the curb. Damn, I hope my trifling brother didn’t get kicked out yet! Lincoln dialed the number and smiled with relief when Earl picked up.

“Hey, man, I guess you must be behaving yourself since your number hasn’t changed.”

Earl chuckled and then went silent. Lincoln knew he was inhaling a big burst of fragrant smoke. They say that marijuana isn’t addictive, but Earl went through blunts like some people tore through a pack of cigarettes.

“Whassup, man? How’s the family?” Earl finally said.

“They’re good. Everybody’s good. Yo, man, look, I gotta problem with this dude. A mechanic. He did some work on Chevonne’s BMW.” Lincoln could never admit to his brother or anyone else that his wife had been fucking and sucking another man’s dick. It was emasculating, and since last night, he’d begun wavering between loving and hating his wife.

“Dude fucked up her whip?” Earl had an instant attitude.

“No, the car is all right. The mechanic bull did something shady, though. He charged Chevonne up on parts and labor. Taking advantage of her because she’s a female. Man, he had my wife paying triple for what that
