Ace Up His Sleeves

At that moment, Jim was full of shame, his face down on the floor. 

Eric's eyes were red from anger and crying by then, and he didn't know what to do to the man seated before him, the man he called his father, the man he had always looked up to even though his feelings felt unreciprocated.

"How… how did he find out what you did?" Eric asked, sobbing. He wanted to know everything, and he also didn't want to know at the same time. He felt like a mess, just thinking that he was actually related to someone who would go to such extremes to fulfill his personal needs. Jim had indeed lived to his saying that money changes people.
