Chapter 13: I Found His Weak Point

Grace went home on her own, and by the time she

pulled herself together, the company was

already empty, only the security was around,

She ordered an Uber home, and even though the Uber driver was staring at her, he must have seen the video.

When Grace arrived home, she went straight to her room, as she was about to enter her room, she saw Emily come out from her room, she passed and touched her shoulders, she was the only one still looking at her as though she hadn't seen anything.

She entered her room and saw a tray of food

and drink. It was a bottle of liquor, she locked

her door, ate and got drunk with the liquor.

She awoke by 12:30 pm the next day, her whole body was on fire, aching from different angles and a terrible headache was on the edge of killing her. She slowly went to the bathroom and took her bath, she took the

painkillers Emily bought for her from the other

day and put on her clothes.

Grace headed downstairs searching for Emily

to tell her thank you. As she passed the hallway leading to Lucas's room and his study, she heard someone growling and hitting the wall continuously. Curious, she headed towards that way and ended up in Lucas's room.

 Lucas's fist was covered in blood and his forehead too, Grace turned and saw countless empty bottles of beer, Lucas was still attacking the wall.

At first, she wanted to turn and go, but he

looked like he needed someone to stop him

She shrugged her shoulders and turned to

leave but her conscience wouldn't play along.

Lucas continued hitting the wall with his fist and forehead, not ready to stop. Grace knew

something was wrong, she rushed to him

forgetting everything he did to her and

dragged him away from the wall, he shouted

and fell on his knees,

"Lucas calmed down," what are you doing to

yourself?

She tried to stop him, but he was not done yet, he picked up the empty bottles and started smashing them everywhere,

"Lucas!"

She shouted and pushed him to the floor, he lay there grunting and fuming, Grace rushed to his bathroom and came back with a wet towel, his fist and forehead were covered in so much blood that Grace thought he was going to bleed to death.

She started wiping his forehead and he winced, never in all her time of existence had she ever come across a guy with such a temper, She sat him up and leaned him against the wall

"Lucas what is the meaning of all this- what's

wrong?" you can talk to me, She asked and he kept mute

"I don't know if you are trying to kill yourself

because that won't work, if there's anybody that should end your life, it should be me”

She whispered with her teeth clenched

together, Lucas turned and stared at her and

smiled wearily,

"Tell Emily to send-, to send a message to

Micheal, tell him-, tell him I Lucas will make sure he dies a slow painful death," He said breathing slowly

"He is your brother Lucas-"he is family- Grace

stated, Lucas laughed,

"Fuck family, I am speaking for the both of us"

He said, and Grace looked at him, he was right though.

Grace called Emily and they invited the family

doctor.

Grace's Father Mr Ethan arrived at Lucas's home almost the same time as the Doctor,

The first thing Mr. Ethan did immediately as he saw Lucas was accuse Grace

"Did Grace do this to you?"

"What?" Grace said shocked

"Did you do this?!" He raised his voice,

"stop Mr. Ethan" Lucas said,

"She did nothing," He added.

"For just not signing those papers she did

everything, sir” Mr. Ethan said cowardly, and Lucas smiled

Grace hurried upstairs and came downstairs

almost immediately

"Why are you all dressed?"

"I am going out," She said throwing her face

away,

"I'm here to discuss something  important  so please sit down,”

"Whatever it is Please hurry"Grace snapped,

Mr Ethan started ranting again, asking why she hadn't signed the papers,

"Father this is not your concern anymore, you

have done your part by selling me off, now

please mind your business Grace snapped again and left the room

Grace hurried down the road to meet with

Jason, since the sex tape leaked he has not

texted or called and Grace was very sure that

he must have come across the video on social media.

***

She met him in his garage fixing something in

his car, he raised his head and smiled,

"Jay you haven't texted me since the video”

"video? what video?" He asked lost,

"It's everywhere on social media you don't

expect me to believe that you haven't seen

anything" Grace said dropping her bag, Jason picked up his phone,

"Our sextape?" He started,

"No no, not ours, my sex tape, whoever was

recording it showed only my face and guess

who is behind all of it- She asked and he stared at her,

"Lucas!, I can't believe he uploaded it, I mean he was using it to threaten me, I was so surprised how he got a video of me having sex with you"

"you need to be careful with that guy, or just

accept whatever proposal he has so he can

stop hurting you, us" Grace sighed heavily,

"No need to worry today, especially about us, I will fix this”-

Jason was not a man of many words, he just

nodded and rolled himself under the car,

"But Jay, I think I found his weak point"

Jason rolled out again, "Really, and what's that?"

"His mom" Grace blurted out as if she was sure of it

Jason smiled, "Every man loves their mom babe”

"Jay his mother is dead, I have not heard him

mention her but I think she is"

"Think harder babe, I am sure everybody's

weakness is from within not from parents or

siblings” Jason said and rolled back in, 

Grace thought about what he said, he was right, she needed to calm down and get to know this Lucas man before striking, she needed to know everything about him to his fingertip, especially his weak points where she could strike and observe from a distance won't help, she needed to get closer.
