Chapter 30: The Blood Oath

POV RICHARD

"It's true, dad! He turned himself in for it..."

To my father I don't need to pretend I'm in control of the situation, because if there's anyone who can stop my madness, it's him, or, maybe for that matter, not...

"Richard and what does it matter? Akira Selena is a business, investment, it matters little who that girl gets into bed with." My father acts trivial, of all people, he, always so conservative.

"She's going to carry the Rockfeller surname, so the least she owes me is respect!" I speak exalted, moving forward to the drinks table to grab a whiskey to help me put down that dry knot that is stuck in my throat.

"Are you obsessed with that girl?!" He confronts me and I won't deny it.

Although I don't know if it is a matter of wounded pride, competition, or, if I am a spoiled brat who will never accept losing to a savage.

"You, my father, brought me to this end of the world, instigated me to approach it. So don't act as if you are surprised!"

I would not bear the blame
