Cutthroat

by Octavia Grant

Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance is an act of justice. I was seeking vengeance and that damn sure made me feel great. The Bible says, vengeance is mine, and it was.

“Relationship goals? I never understood why women say they want a man just like their dad. When they don’t know what they’re asking for. You knew Everett as a father, not as a man. We have two very different views of one person.

you should never look at any couple as relationship goals just because you see a smile. If you watched me hard enough, you would’ve seen the Visine I dropped in my eyes to hide the redness. Smiling faces sometimes hide the most pain.

She had transformed Everett from a suave businessman to a disgraced alcoholic. Revenge was a dish best served cold, and Marie Francois Merci was a cold-blooded bitch. She also made sure to leave out the part about the hit and run that left their father dead. Paying someone to make her a widow was $3,000 well spent. No, there was no need to tell her children those minor details.

If you have a good woman, then be a good man If you’re unfaithful, you need to quit. You’ll lose everything once she finds out And she gets on her cutthroat shit.
