CHAPTER 66

RICHARD'S POV

FATHER'S PERFECT SON

I came back to pack up my remaining stuff, because I didn't own much in the house. My mom's pleas fell on deaf ears.

“Mom, you know. I love you.” I told her. “But you can't talk me out of this.”

“Richard, why are you doing this?” she asked me sniffling.

I paused and looked at her face. “I want to know my father. You've denied me that for so long. I'm an adult now and I know better.” I said coldly to her.

She didn't press any further, she looked at me dejected still touching her rosary beads. I packed everything I needed or left them. Besides, my father will give me money to buy other things that I need.

But my thoughts were a mess, I was thinking of getting in my father's good graces. I was thinking of taking Jeremy out of dad's good books. And I was thinking about Grace too.

I'm ready to leave the house, and mom comes out of the kitchen and hugs me. She's emotional and sobbing, I hug her back but not tightly because my mind was elsewhere.

I was thinking about Grace alot. I wanted to piss Jeremy off by getting close to her, but she was shocked. Because I saw her naked, bruised and crying on the floor.

Someone raped her and hurt her badly. She couldn't move or cover herself, I had to cover her up. And I'll not rest until I find who and make him pay.

I won't tell anyone about my fascination with Grace. I'm good at hiding things, not even her, will know of my admiration for her. I've hidden my knowledge of computers from everyone, including my mother.

Before leaving for my father's house, I ran a background check on everyone with a smirk on my lip. I ran a background check on Jeremy, his bank account, his phone number and his transaction with Grace, but nothing came up.

I checked on Lana's activity too, nothing out of the ordinary. Just that she's broke and pretending to be rich. But Lana used Jeremy's credit card, and made a huge money transfer to a suspicious account.

This caught my eyes and I dug deeper, and it's a man with a criminal record of stealing, drugs and extortion. I hacked his hard drive and found nothing, until I dug into his hidden drive and found a sex tape.

I wished I never saw that video, because I was gravely disturbed by it. Lana acts so high and mighty, but could be crazy enough to have a sex tape.

But my rational thinking came into play. This could be of great help to me. So from my home I decided to trace the man to his house.

I went alone because he lives across town, but I went anyway because I was on a mission. Getting to his house he wasn't a nice host, he tried to act tough with me. But I beat him up with cold precision, I wasn't going to kill him but, I just wanted full control of that tape.

I took every device in his house, copied the video on my own computer. My motivation was quite simple, father needs to see me as a useful and reliable son. That I'm better than Jeremy, smarter and more loyal to him.

I left the man's house when he was out cold. I got back to my house and picked up my stuff there. But I need to make one phone call to someone.

“Lana, we need to talk tonight.” I told her, smiling. I like being in control especially in this situation, as much as I hated Jeremy. I'm sure he doesn't deserve such a vile and vulgar woman beside him.

I took my sweet time before getting to our meet up place. It was by the lake side, a secluded part of town that nobody goes to, especially at night.

Lana arrived looking perfect, smelling nice as always. But beneath all these perfection, lies a cheap woman whom, I've seen the colour of her pussy. I might want a taste of her just, for the fun of it but for now nothing.

I wanted to laugh at her vanity, and the way she parades herself. But instead I played along with her.

“Lana, do you have any dark secrets? Anything that Jeremy shouldn't know.”

She laughs and flips her hair confidently.
“Richard, what's this about? I'm perfection.”

I watched her expression which was unreadable. Inside me I was thinking such a liar she is.

I tapped my phone and a preview image of her sex tape popped up, but I didn't show it to her.

“I just wanted to know how honest you're.”

Lana blinks, she's confused and uneasy. “You called me out for this?”

I gave her a small smile, one that reveals nothing and walked away from her.

I drove to my father's house with a plan in my head. I watched my father from afar, with a smile on my face. He was speaking to officers on a zoom call.

My thoughts grew dark like the night. Father's always liked power and control. He likes useful people. Jeremy has always been his first choice, but not for long now.

I just know what to do now. I know how to use Lana. How to ruin her. How to position myself as the good son. How to use the sex tape. And importantly how to uncover who hurt Grace badly.

I laughed as I thought about all this. Everyone thinks I'm all for dad's approval, but I'm so much more. I'm the bomb waiting to explode, no one will be spared in my wrath. I've looked into everyone's life, except dad's because I'm scared of what I'm going to find.

But for now I'll listen, watch and observe. I unlocked my phone, opened the file, and just paused on Lana's face. I could masturbate to this just to spite Jeremy.

“This…will be useful one day.” I whispered to myself.

“I'm going to bring her down from her high horse.” I said to myself.
