EXCERPT
Angelo pulled his truck into a
narrow driveway and parked around the back of an abandoned building. He rushed
through his route to have extra time to spend with Tina, who hadn’t arrived
yet.
The past few months had been pure
hell on him. This game had turned boring. The worst part was that he had to
pacify both Fay and Tina now. They would do anything he asked. He had both of
them at his disposal. Sometimes it was sick how they ran around for him. But
with them surrounding him, he felt like the king of his castle. He could do no
wrong in their eyes. They jumped to his every command.
“Ha! Angelo my boy, you still have
all the charm and physique,” he said into his rearview mirror. “You treat them
like whores, wine and dine them once in a while and they’re eating out of your
hand.” Angelo chuckled.
Fay and Tina were the easiest of
all. They both fell hard for him. He patted his crotch. “Johnson my man, God
blessed me with the biggest pecker of all. Man, were they right in saying women
cared more about the size than the quality. The bigger the pecker, the better
the penetration.” Angelo laughed hysterically. This was so cool. He would never
again work a single day in his life when he finished with all of them. They
were stupid broads, with Tina being the biggest slut of them. As long as he
gave her sex once a week, she left him alone. Now with her at Fay’s shop, he
would have total access to Fay’s financial situation before he took action.
He’d been searching for something he
just couldn’t find. Every time Fay left the house, he would riffle through all
her things looking for something, anything which would give him the bigger
picture of her finances.
The last time Fay and Heather went
on one of their mother-daughter adventures, he combed every drawer in her
bedroom. He pulled them out in hope that maybe she taped a key or envelope
under the drawer, each time coming up empty. Every time she went out, he took
another room. He even went as far and checking inside all three toilets in the
house, to no avail.
Why did she have a separate account
for the business? He couldn’t understand that. Fay insisted she didn’t want to
mix their personal and business accounts together because this made paying the
quarterly taxes easier. What he didn’t like was those bank statements went
directly to her computer so he had no access to them. He just had a feeling she
was hiding something. And he’d be damned if he didn’t find out if his
suspicions were true or false.
It was a shame his ex-wife died for
no reason at all. He wasn’t smart back then. He should have searched harder for
her will when she was by her whore sister’s house with her sick kid. If he
would have known she left all her money to her sister for medical expenses, he
would have just left her and started over. Instead, he had to cover up a
murder, which he did perfectly. Damn accidents did happen.
