"I've checked everything, it's as if he just vanished right after the crash" fish told Anthony.

Anthony sat legs crossed, his back to Fish who stood right opposite him both of them separated by the huge brown polished mahogany desk.

Anthony turn the chair slowly, one hands fiddling with his pen, the other on the arm rest. His brows creased and his lips pressed in a straight line.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking Fish?" Anthony asked staring intently into nothingness.

He remembered quite well that himself and his father had boarded the private jet with a pilot on board and that was Eliot but it was strange that when the plane was about to crash, the pilot had disappeared.

"The crash was planned." Fish said like he had read Anthony's mind.

"Exactly." Anthony paused "but why? Who would have wanted me dead?"

"Someone must have known you were traveling with father and I'm guessing their aim was to take over the Hartford's empire" Fish said. " Why else would anyone want the your f

    There was nothing comfortable about what was happening there in the room. “Who… is that?” Avery asked, sitting up this time. Every bit of alcohol that was in her system seemed to have been drained out. The only proof that she had been drinking was the sick feeling that she had in her stomach. She swallowed hard, trying to keep herself from throwing up. That was the last thing that she needed at that point in time. A part of her cursed herself for drinking that much. She needed to be more alert. She didn't survive everything just to die in a room with two men that she barely knew. She looked up at Dan, who had his eyes on the strange man that was at the door as well. “Is he with you?” She asked in a shaky voice. Her spine was straight, ready to defend herself if anything happened. That didn't stop the room was spinning. The stale smell of the room only made it worse to keep herself in check. She attempted to stand up, and Dan pushed her back to the bed, with his hands on her shou

    “Are you here alone?” the man asked, looking at her with intense eyes. Avery bit her lower lip as she placed a hand on his thigh in a flirting manner. “Why?” She asked, leaning in. “Would you like to take me somewhere?”The man cocked an eyebrow. “I'm Dan by the way,” he said calmly.Avery nodded, taking a sip of her drink that was finally placed in front of her. The alcohol swished in her stomach, but she couldn't even care less. Behind her, Taylor was drunk on the dancefloor, grinding another stranger. “You really think you want to go with me somewhere?” Dan asked, with his eyes skimming through her body. This time, Avery felt a shiver run through her spine. She didn't like the way this man was looking at her. Her head turned sideways, looking for a way to walk away from him without bringing attention to herself. “No,” she mumbled. “I just want to finish my drink.” The look on Dan's face told her that he didn't want that. “Come on, you don't have to try to be so innocent,” Dan

    Later that evening, Avery sat at her dressing table applying some make up when Taylor's call came in. She had call to inform her that she would be picking her up shortly.Moments later, a knock came on her door and Taylor stood there just like she had promised. "Girlllll" Taylor chirped "you look stunning. Wait did I get the right address, don't tell me Anthony leaves here" Taylor face twisted in a grimace of confusion."No." Avery said "I just bought this place, the agency was on bonus sales so I took the opportunity. I'll be going back home in a few days" Avery lied.Her insides twisted at the thought of going back to that hell of a marriage."Is everything really okay?" Taylor asked, her voice a pitch lower laced with concern "you've been looking glum since yesterday""I'm fine just work stress" Avery lied "one my biggest investor withdrew from the company yesterday"Avery heaved a sigh. She couldn't bother Taylor with her marriage issues. Even though they had been friends or more

    After spending the previous evening with Taylor, Avery felt like some load had been relieved from her chest and she sincerely looked forward to their night of clubbing. She wasn't the party type but maybe she could shake off some tension. And now that Taylor was back, she would definitely be visiting the clubs more often since Taylor was the partying type."Mr Hartford is here to see you and I'm letting him in now" her secretary's voice came through the telecom.Her heart slammed against her chest. Her pulse quickened in response as her mind swirled with questions about why he was there.She sighed as she felt unease clawing at her. The door swung open and her heart lurched to her mouth. She took a deep breath to try and calm the unease.Anthony strolled in and sank into the chair opposite her, sprawling as if he owned the place. There was a flicker of emotion in his eyes and his lips twitched as if he wanted to smiled but it had disappeared so fast that she couldn't make anything of

    Anthony sat at his desk, eyes staring at the document that laid open before him. His eyes were glued to the document but his mind far from the task. He had to get Avery back by all means possible. He pulled out the drawer and slammed the drawer shut, the table vibrating. The divorce papers trembled in his hands before he ripped them apart. His jaw clenched. Avery would not leave him. Not like this.Their contract marriage was supposed last a year before they could divorce each other but Avery had sent him divorce papers before the agreed time. That was a contract breach and he would definitely use it against her.He was going to storm into her office with his lawyer and she would explain what clause of the contract told her she could leave when the time wasn't due.A part of him was happy at the idea of her returning but the grudges kept biting at his chest. He didn't want to forget how she had hurt him or maybe he just couldn't forget it no matter how hard he tried. He heaved a sig

    "Eight hundred thousand dollars!" Smith raged "are you out of your mind Laura?" Laura stood in front of Smith in the huge living room of their mansion. His eyes had flickers of rage in them, his elbows slightly raised and his nose flaring as he stared at Laura. Laura kept fiddling with her fingers. "Anthony almost found out, I had to cover up our tracks" "You didn't think I had the right to know of how you were spending my money?" He seethed. "No honey" Laura defended. "I didn't have the time to discuss it with you""Eight hundred thousand dollars Laura, the money doesn't just fall from the sky" he thundered. "My company could go bankrupt" "I was so close to completing the plan, just imagine, we could recover everything we've lost if our plan works" Laura said. "Laura." Smith called again trying to sound calm. "We can't keep up with it or else we risk loosing everything. We need to take a break" With that, Smith walked away leaving Laura to drown in her thoughts. Maybe if she h
