Chapter 12

Ravi's POV

Wait....... Ivanov, that name sounds very familiar but I just can't place it.

"Is he alive, do you know where he is now. " I asked

"Yes he is alive and I don't know where he is exactly but what I do know is that he lives here. "

Uhmmm he lives here, maybe I can hire someone one to look for him but I need to inform dad of what Adrian just told me and at the same time send him the recording. Maybe dad would be able to recognize him or atleast find someone that can.

"... vi, Ravi are you ok. " he said worriedly "I have been calling you for a while now, is something wrong. "

"Oh yes I mean no, sorry just lost in thoughts. " I said smiling at him "look why don't you rest for now, we can pick from where we stopped later, how don't that sound. "

"Good, very good thanks Ravi. " I am glad that I can put a little smile on his face after everything he just told me.

"No worries, why don't you go take a nap while I talk to my dad. "

"Ok thanks. " he answered, going to his room.

I need to talk to dad but I have to clean up the kitchen first i thought. Few minutes later I'm done and now I can call dad, I thought as I walked up the stairs to my room.

"What? " dad grunted

"Well hello to you too Mr. " I said

"Oh hey son. " he said with a cheerful voice like he didn't just growl in my ear a few seconds ago, it's creepy the way my dad changes his mood, one second he is acting like a 16 year old teenager who on her period and the next he is acting like a kid on Christmas morning.

"Hey dad. " I said warily, i'm scared because he might change his mood again

"Hey son... So how was your trip back? "

"Find, I guess. " I said "so dad I made Adrian talk to me more about his past...... And what he told me dad, I can't imagine it happening to anyone not to talk of a child. " I said as tears threatened to fall from my eyes, even as I recalled all the terrible things that Adrian told, it still brings tears to my eyes.

"Oh son, don't cry; bad things happen, it's part if life dear. " he said

"But it always happens to the people who have no one to run to. " I am crying now.

"I don't know Ravi but what I do know is that I will surely find a way to help him no matter the cause. "

"Thanks dad. "

"Good now dry those tears and tell me what he told you, I want to know the things that he told my son which will make him cry this much and even question life. "

I told my father everything that Adrian told me, I couldn't even hold my tears back and you can't even blame me I mean l feel so emotional right now.

"Wow I can't believe this, I thought I knew my friend..... Huh. " I feel bad for him right now I mean this is his best friend from high school, "your mother needs to hear this, I know she will be shocked. "

"So dad, did you know about Victoria and Nicholas? "

"I didn't know about Nicholas but I have met Victoria a few times but I didn't know that she was dead....... Oh my God. " he hissed

"I'm sorry dad. "

"It's ok. "

"Dad you haven't by any chance sent instructions on how I will send the voice recording to you. "

"Oh yeah sorry I've been busy. "

I raised my perfectly threamed eyes brows at this, "yeah busy fucking my mother on all the surfaces in that resort. "

He snorted, "I wish son, as if your mother would let me take her on all the surfaces in the house. "

"Ewww TMI dad. " I scratched my face in disgust

"Well you asked for it now I will send you the address where you can get untraceable electronics. '' he said "you will have to change your phone, laptop and other devices that you have. "

"What?! Dad why, I just got these ones a month ago and now you want to change them. " I wouldn't agree to this

"Well you have to but i did suggest to Harper, the woman who run the business to install whatever she installs in her tech but she said that it would take a while to do that

And I know from experience that you can't go a day without your fancy gadgets. " ha! I remember that I was 21 when my parents decided to punish me for wrecking my new car by taking my phone and laptop for a week; let's just say that that punishment didn't last for two days.

"Oh ok fine but I want something fashionable, I don't want something that looks like a fucking bomb, ok. "

"What do you mean it looks like a bomb? "

"Well for instance the burner phone that I currently used to call is heavy and looks like a fucking bomb that looks like it's about to explode. " I sassed.

"What the hell are you talking about....... You know what, just forget it, forget it, don't even bother yourself.

Anyways when you get there, you get a request for any design of your choice....... But I have to go now. " he groaned, this is what I was afraid of, from confused dad to distracted dad.

"Dad, why do I need to go? " I think I already know the answer to that question but just to satisfy my curiosity.

"Uhmm son your mom is making sexy eyes at me........ I need to go, OK bye. "

"Wait! Wait! Dad one more thing before you fuck my mother's brains out. " I said

"What! " he rushed

Weirdos I thought rolling my eyes, "do me a favor and find out more on Adrian's step brother Nicholas Ivanov. "

"Ok ok, got to go now bye. " he hung up, Rude.

All these emotions I felt were tiring, I needed to get some rest I thought as I laid down on my bed to sleep.

*ping* I opened my eyes to the sound coming from my phone ; I guess dad has sent the message already and here I was thinking that he and mom were going to have some sexy time...... Oh my God, I can't believe I just said that.

Ugh..... I thought as I drifted off to sleep.

Adrian's POV

When Adam told me that he knew someone who could find Marcus, I was excited ; excited that maybe I can bring Marcus to justice for what he did to me and my family.

Adam told me that I had to be willing to do anything, even if it meant betraying Ravi Duncan, the son of secretary Victor and Judge Sonia because I had to get him to like me if not trust me. At first I agreed to it because I thought that Ravi was one of those spoiled rich kids that use people as their personal rag.

But the more I got to know him, the more my hesitation grew.

Most of the things I told him, I wasn't supposed to but I couldn't help myself, no one has ever asked me of what I wanted or even said a little thank you to me in the past 14 years.

Ravi is something I haven't seen before. I mean how can you be so willing to trust someone who you don't know and to top it off can't remember him. But it had to be done, I needed him to get me the new identity and money he promised to give me.

I don't even need to get Marcus anymore because so many people are after him and with the things I told Ravi about what that bastard did to my family, I am sure he will get Marcus the punishment he deserves.

But I do need to continue this-this uhhh... I don't even know what to call it anymore. I mean the reason why I came here is to use Ravi but now my conscience wouldn't let me be because of how nice he has been to me.

He really wants to help me........ maybe I can help him too, maybe I can try and not be selfish.

I overheard...... ok maybe I was eavesdropping but I don't think that's important right now, anyways I overheard the conversation with Ravi and his father. They are going to help me find my brother and when they do, maybe I can finally have someone in this world again.

But first,I think I need to tell Ravi the whole truth...... When he wakes up or before I change my mind.

Maybe after all of this...... we can form a proper friendship.
