My boyfriend uses white handkerchiefs to wipe me after sex, I confronted him and he ‘disappeared’

I’ve been dating this man for over five months. He’s not Ghanaian; he told me he was here for work and would eventually return to the United States, where he’s from. He always had a lot of dollars on him and would frequently ask me to exchange them for him.

Sometimes, he’d give me $1,000 or $2,000 to buy whatever I wanted. Even the hotel he was staying at was expensive, and he seemed to be spending a lot. He never mentioned what kind of work he was here for, but it was clear he had plenty of money.

Anytime I went to his place and we make love, he would clean me up himself. He had almost a bag full of white handkerchiefs and that’s what he liked to use.

He said he wanted his women to feel good down there after sex so he prefers cleaning them with a new white handkerchief himself.

He would throw it in the bin right after, so I didn’t think much of it. I recently mentioned it to a friend, and she asked if I was the one disposing of the bin, to which I replied no.

She then suggested that he might be taking the handkerchief back after I leave and using it for something, so I should try to find out.

One time, after we were done and I was about to leave, I asked if I could take the handkerchief. He refused, asking why I needed it.

I told him I wanted to wash it and use it, but he still declined. Instead, he gave me $500 to go buy as many handkerchiefs as I wanted if that was my need.

I also asked him to give me one of the new handkerchiefs he had, but he insisted I use the money he gave me to buy a new set.

I became really scared, though I didn’t know why. I went home and told my mother about it, and she came with me to the hotel to see him. When we arrived, we were told he had checked out a few hours earlier.

Is it possible that he may have already done something to me? It’s been over a week, and I keep thinking,

‘What if something happens to me?’ I can’t reach him, and he is not reaching out either. Five months of a relationship down the drain? I’m really hurt because I thought he was being genuine.

Why would he check out of the hotel right after our first argument about a handkerchief?

I’m terrified and restless. I keep feeling like something is going to happen to me, or that I might die. What should I do now?
