CHARLOTTE
My dad was stubborn.
He was the most stubborn person I knew. I mean, why wouldn't he just accept his son was dead?
He claimed he needed to see a body first, but people died everyday and their bodies would never get recovered! You could, for example, be eaten by a shark. No dead body would be seen. You could be involved in a plane accident or get blown to bits by bombs.
Yet my father's reason for not accepting JP's death was an absent body.
In truth, his non-acceptance was affecting me. It was delaying my ascension to the position of CEO of Central Tech, which I hugely deserved. But my patriarchal Dad had kept reserving the position for his son who everyone had accepted was dead.
If Dad wanted a body, I would give him a body.
All I needed to do was visit a mortuary and over
