Chapter 17 - Blackmail

9 a.m. When Seth woke up, he saw Erica sleeping quietly next to him like an angel, with very little healthy ground to tread, thinking about how to get out of the house unseen if Jake was home, but all that aside, the plan was a perfect success.

Seth grinned broadly as he thought about it. He had put it into Erica's head that doing what she wanted was a need, not a crime. They had brought the whole night together and most importantly the camera had record everything until the morning.

Without waking Erica and being careful where he stepped, Seth got out of bed and went to check the camera he had set up. Of course the battery was dead. But that was okay, all he had to do was take the SD card out of it and recharge it for future use. He looked at Erica and laughed at the fact that the woman sleeping in the bed now and the loud woman from last night were the same person. Then he took the phone from his pants and checked if there was a report from his accomplice, there was.

[I'm here to meet Jake like you said. I'll ask the questions you said, but I'm not expecting much, to tell you the truth]

An hour later, another message arrived

[I asked Jake some of the questions you told me about and it's getting interesting~]

[Jake really overreacts when you say something about his mom, and when you ask him a question, he goes into great detail. Details that should be hard for even a son to know, and he starts blushing when you joke about his mom]

[At first what you said sounded ridiculous, but now I agree, this boy has extreme feelings about his mother]

Another message from later in the night

[Date is over, it wasn't bad, but it was a bit boring, maybe because it was a trap, Jake's coming home. But he's sleeping on his feet because I dragged him around all day, I think it would be a miracle if he even came home, so be careful if you're still there]

No more messages

"He must have tired her out pretty good just running after her. She didn't even come to check the sounds....or did she? Hades! Hades, are you there?"

.

..

...

"No answer? First time in a long time. I'll have to ask you later, if Jack doesn't stab me to death at the door."

He looked at Erica, who was sleeping peacefully, She was nothing like the loud woman from last night. then, not wanting to make the same mistake he had made before, he approached her and whispered with a smile on his face

"Erica~"

Gently nudged

"Erica, wake up, honey."

Erica opened her eyes and a smile spread across her face when she saw Seth standing by her bedside.

"Good morning~" She put her arms around Seth's neck and kissed him "It's nice to open the day with your face"

"The same goes for me"

Erica looked around and put her hand on her cheek "Oh, it's going to be a lot of work tidying up here"

"Erica, I'd love to stay and help, but I'd better go before your son sees me, but this time give me your number so my next visit will be sooner~."

"Yeah, yeah, you'd definitely want to stay."

Erica looked for her phone but couldn't find it, so she got up and went to the living room.

"Oh, it's so nice of you to leave without saying a word to me, Erica." At that moment, a text message sounded.

[Hey, are you still at Jake's house? You didn't answer me yesterday, did your plan work out?]

Seth laughed and sent a picture of the floor and the bed without writing anything.

[HOLLY SH-

[My plan was very successful, thanks for asking]

As Seth was hanging up, Erica entered the room with her phone in her hand.

"Is Jake outside?"

"No, he sleeps like a hibernating bear"

"Yeah? Then maybe~"

Erica stopped Seth with her hand

"Hold on there champ I'll give you my number, you go and I'll make breakfast" she whispered in Seth's ear "But I'll welcome you anytime Jake's not around~"

Seth grinned, "Can I stay for breakfast?"

"Sure, honey, you want to have breakfast with Jake?"

"..... I think I'll go, and I have a lot of work today."

Seth put on his clothes, grabbed his backpack and camera, kissed Erica goodbye, and set off for his house with the rhythm of a morning walk.

"This is weird, I seem to have forgotten something.... never mind, I'm sure I'm delusional"

When Seth got home, he plugged his camera into the charger and took the SD card out of it and put it into the laptop and laughed like a bad guy while looking at the recordings

"I knew it was a good idea to use a camera instead of recording from the phone"

Later in the day, Seth spent the day editing the video, trimming, cutting, segmenting, increasing and decreasing the volume, distorting his own voice, adjusting the lighting, and finally adding censorship, and by the end of the afternoon he had several videos ready to send out.

-I see you've finished your work

"Oh, you were here?"

-I just came, Did you take care of everything?

"Yeah, we just need to get in touch with him, by the way, do you know if Jake heard us last night?"

-Nila had really tired him out, of course he heard you, but he didn't hear you clearly and didn't care, he lay down on his bed and fell asleep.

"Oh that's good, I was really upset because I thought he'd find out without me telling him."

-Heh, you're so kind, so you're going to write anonymously?

"Yeah, I got her number from Nila earlier."

-A word of advice, don't back down

"Excellent advice (!)"

-No, seriously, he will get angry with you, swear at you, threaten you, and you should react like a daily event as if you are very used to it.

"Oh .... here we go"

[Hey, kiddo, I got something for you]

[A video has been posted]

.

..

...

"I guess we'll have to wait a bit, huh, tell me more about these stories"

-Sure, is there anything in particular you want to hea -

[YOU SON OF A BITCH, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU AND WHY DO YOU HAVE VIDEOS OF MY MOM?]

"Let the stories wait"

[Calm down, son, why don't you enjoy yourself instead of getting angry]

[WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT]

[You don't know me, Jake, but I know you, more than you think]

'After all, I'm the one who made you'

[I know how much you care about your mom, no matter how angry you get, I know what you'll go back and look at these and do]

[YOU LITTLE-]

[I think it's obvious that I'm not small huh anyway I have other videos. If you are interested, send the necessary money to the iban number I will send you and I will send you the videos, you have until the evening]

Seth turns off the laptop internet, leaving Jake alone with a nervous breakdown

"..... So Hades, what are you saying?"
