Chapter 7.

Dark night.

Reclining on the motorcycle, the man only looked at nothing, he had been able to clean up the mess they had left before, he had lived long enough to feel fulfilled, but then there were his mother's requests, he knew that the woman was capable of anything.

Not for nothing did his father obey her in everything she dictated, she was someone who had power and influence, everyone respected her and her word was the law…and the law was the truth, giving him a grandson and getting married were words not foreseen for him, who only liked things of a quiet and relaxed life, living what he had to live and doing what he had to do.

He did not need the disturbing plots that were obtained in marriage, incessant fights, horrendous discussions; ¿What if he married a woman who had the temperament of his sisters?, ¿it would simply be horrible to deal with, what would happen when she got upset and threw very expensive vases at him like Natalie did at August…?, or she would shoot him, like Brianna used to do at Mark… ¿How would his future wife react when they got upset?, When they had an argument, ¿who would win?, He would win or she would simply be right about everything, it was quite complicated.

And ¿what if his future wife got pregnant like Natalie did in secret and from a man who was not even her husband whom she simply made believe that the miracle had happened and manipulated him? ¿Are the DNA centers to say that her word was the correct one?

He would die if that happened to him, but if on the contrary, his wife was a submissive and attentive woman, life would not be boring, just listening to someone say: yes darling as you wish; that seemed more like a robotic and flattering relationship than a true marriage.

The dark night belonged to Sofia, lifelong companion; and when there were no more cigarettes to smoke, the man threw himself on the ground to sit, the asphalt was warm and did not burn, but when he laid his head down he thought that his whole life was reduced to his mother's words about how good marriage was.

To want to do it he looked in the mirror of his sister's marriage in his mind; and Natalie did look happy and in love, but when he looked at her now, the woman was completely the opposite of when she got married, because both of them lied to each other daily and to each other… 

The words I love you were simply empty, while looking at Brianna's marriage from another perspective, if they hadn't dragged her to the Civil Registry on Friday, she wouldn't even have accepted, because in that marriage, in front of her was a computer where she could be seen taking off her silver mask and revealing her face like the Shadow Woman and Brianna Bardot,

Her mother had prepared that, it was the perfect threat for her to say yes, but looking at her relationship at this moment, it was more than evident that it had improved, both of them didn't love each other, but they didn't hate each other either, they simply loved each other, they had learned to do it and they had a beautiful daughter, but their arguments always ended with him shooting her and her shooting him, so simply sitting back down she said to the air: I wish I could see the world in a different way, maybe If he saw it from above it wouldn't be as bad as seeing it from another plane..
