10 Investigation

It’s a good thing that nowadays there are plenty of modern technologies, and my phone has a card linked to it for cashless payments. We paid the seller and moved further through the park, just walking and chatting.

I’ll deal with that little piece of trash later. She won’t run from me, I’ll dig her out from under the ground if I have to, because my driver’s license and cards were in that accessory. The cards are protected with a solid password, so she won’t be able to do anything with them, but I really don’t want the headache of restoring and replacing them, especially restoring my license and other documents. And punishing that little shit is simply necessary!

Stuffed with melting sweetness, even Kirill became more sociable and agreeable with my little ones, getting involved in their shared game. But time was mercilessly slipping away, and my brunette had to leave.

Of course, I didn’t forget to exchange phone numbers with her, and I planned to invite the beauty on a real date very soon.

“And now, Daddy, we’re going to buy a Sony PlayStation!” the twins look at me, arms crossed over their chests, pleased and expectant.

“And a doll!” Soli doesn’t stay behind either, frowning demandingly.

“You little…” I squint at this young racketeering crew, shaking my head.

“We’re your partners,” Andry declares with a smart expression. “There was a deal, and we fulfilled our part of the agreement. Now it’s your turn to fulfill your obligations.”

“It seems you spend way too much time at your father’s workplace!” I look at these little geniuses in shock, amazed at their very un-childlike grip.

“Actually we almost never go there,” Egor smiles. “But we visit our grandfather often.”

And how did I not guess that right away. After all, our father is a business shark, worse than all of us put together. He’s raising replacements and worthy heirs from childhood. That’s just the way he is. Among all the Yartsevs, only I am one big disappointment!

No, I know that my father loves me. He loves all of us immensely. But my lifestyle and the independent path I chose never suited him.

Although, if you think about it, I really am pretty messed up in the head. Just take my “dating” website that I created seven years ago. It was and still is a special site where women and girls can choose a man according to their taste and preferences for pleasant intimate entertainment.

That’s actually how I met Vicky. She was one of my clients, because at that time I myself was earning pretty well as one of the call men on my own site.

Ah, that wasn’t a job, it was pure pleasure! True, after the scandal with Kirill and Vicky, I had to step away from business. I no longer go out on calls, but the site still works, bringing me passive income.

And what a scandal there was with my father when he found out how his son was making money! Never in my life had I seen such furious desire in a parent’s eyes to finally whip my ass with a belt!

I’m a difficult person, with my own quirks, and I don’t like dancing to someone else’s tune. That’s probably why I’m still not married. Not that I really want to, of course…

“Alright,” I give in. “You really did work off your part of the deal.”

After visiting a specialized store and spending some time installing the new gadget in Kirill’s living room, the kids began hacking away at games with complete devotion. As for me, I had completely different plans for the evening. So I called Valentina and asked the woman to sit with the kids.

Armed with cash and the charm that’s always with me, I went out to look for that little piece of trash who cleaned me out. And I decided to start with the pizzeria where we collided. Surely they have outdoor surveillance cameras, and I’ll be able to get a better look at that little pest.
