“I wanna get to know you,” I lie, straining to keep my composure. “If we’re gonna be together, baby, then we have to trust each other.”
My stomach twists in knots. I feel like I’ma shit on myself fuckin’ with this broad. But I know it’s what I have to do. So I tell her whatever she wants to hear. Then I tell her I wanna speak to Marika.
“Why? What the hell you want to speak to this bitch for?”
“To tell her that it’s me and you now, that it’s over between us. But I want her to hear it from me.”
“I promise you, papi. Don’t cross me.”
“I won’t.”
A few excruciating seconds go by before I hear Marika’s strained voice.
My heart is pounding so hard that I can barely think straight. I do all I can do to keep from breaking down.
“Marika, baby…I love you.”
Sniffles. “I love you, too. Always.”
“I know, baby. Listen. I need you to hold on, aiight? I’m gonna get you outta this shit, aiight?”
“S-s-she has a—”
Pop!
A shot is fired.
Nina shrieks, every ounce of blood draining from her face.
“MARIKA!” I cry out, my voice choking off in a sob. Fear slashing through my heart as I leap from my seat, cupping my hands tightly over my headphones.
My blood freezes.
The gun goes off twice more. Then there’s a deadly, crippling silence over the airwaves.
EPILOGUE
Six months later
Margarita Island, Venezuela…
Dead. Everything inside of me, everything I am, died the night Marika was found in a river of blood.
Shot in the head.
Dead.
Murdered.
Thirty-six years old.
By some unstable broad who had fuckin’ delusions that she was in love with me. That she and I were meant to be together. When all we—Marika and I—did was fuck her. Love? Fuck outta here! That broad fell in love with the dick, real and silicone. Not me. But somehow she got it stuck in her raggedy-ass head that I was hers. And fucked my whole world up.
She shot Marika twice, then turned the gun on herself.
One night of a hard dick, and all-night fucking cost me the love of my life.
My soul mate.
