Chapter 10: The Rewrite Begins

The flashing red lights of the police cars bounced off the penthouse ceiling. They cast shadows on the walls. Avery stood by the glass window watching the police take Silas away into the Manhattan night. The silence that was left behind was really loud.

She turned her gaze back to the computer terminal. The screen still showed a prompt waiting for her to accept her role as the heiress.

"You want a tragedy?" she said to the room. Her fingers hovered over the glowin

  • THE HEIRESS IN OVERALLS   Chapter 13: The Author of Ruin

    Chapter 13: The Author of RuinThe rain hit Avery's face hard but it was nothing compared to the empty feeling in her chest. She stood still in the headlights of the flatbed truck her hand held tight in Silass. Twenty yards away the man she had spent her life thinking about and fighting for stood tall, the storm swirling around his fancy coat."Dad?" The word was pulled out of her throat. Then the thunder took over.Alistair Sterling looked at his daughter, his face cold and hard not like the face she remembered from when she was a kid. In his hand a red light on a special detonator was blinking."You are a storyteller, Avery," Alistair's voice was loud and clear even in the wind because of a small microphone on his collar. ". You forgot the most important rule of telling a long story: never trust the person who says they are a victim. A man does not build a company like Sterling by being weak. I did not lose to the Thornes. I let them think they won so they would put all our things t

    Chapter 12: The Midnight MeridianThe glass walls of the boardroom shook as thunder rolled over Manhattan. Avery did not look back at the board members she had just shocked into silence. Her eyes were fixed on her phone's clock: 11:59 PM."Marcus!" she yelled into her earpiece already running to the elevator. "They are moving Silas from the downtown processing center now. This is not allowed. We need to stop them.""I am checking the department logs now Ms. Sterling Marcus's voice came through the earpiece loud with the sound of a roaring engine. "A van just left the precinct. It is not going to the holding facility. It is going to the industrial area near the East River.""Julians people " Avery said to herself her breath catching as the elevator doors closed and it started moving down fast. "They know I stopped the board. They know Julian is finished. They are trying to get rid of Silas before he can be saved."She took out her phone. I started typing really fast. She was using a sa

    Chapter 11: The Boardroom CoupThe gold-trimmed doors of the Thorne Industries boardroom burst open at exactly 11:45 PM.The gray-suited board members, who had been talking in panicked tones around the mahogany table jolted in their seats. At the head of the table sat Richard Harrington, Julian Thorne’s ally holding a gavel that was meant to finalize Silas’s corporate execution.Avery walked into the room, her presence cutting through the air of corporate panic. She was wearing a tailored black turtleneck with her hair pulled into a sharp knot. She looked less like a temp and like someone in control."This is an executive session, young lady, " Harrington shouted, slamming his gavel. "Security remove this assistant.""Touch me. I'll have the SEC add corporate battery to the charges " Avery said, her voice cold and authoritative. The guards at the door froze.She walked to the foot of the table tossing a leather-bound folder onto the polished wood. It slid down the center stopping righ

The screen still showed a prompt waiting for her to accept her role as the heiress."You want a tragedy?" she said to the room. Her fingers hovered over the glowing keys. "Then you shouldn't have given the story to a writer."Avery pulled the micro-chip from the console. Turned it over in her hand. Her father had made this chip to hurt the Thorne family. But he didn't think about one thing: Silas Thorne wasn't her father. Silas was a man who had risked his life to save her brother, Leo.If her writing was used as a plan she needed to look at her files. She closed the encrypted software. Opened her private cloud drive. She pulled up the master file for her

  • THE HEIRESS IN OVERALLS   THE SACRIFICE OF SILAS THORNE

    Chapter 9: The Sacrifice of Silas Thorne The air in the penthouse got really thick and heavy. The words "The Sacrifice of Silas Thorne" were still on every screen. Avery looked at the screen. Her mind started to think about what it meant. In a romance story a sacrifice usually means the hero has to choose between what's important to him and the person he loves. Avery whispered to herself "They are trying to make the story more exciting." She thought about what she would write in her story. "In my stories this is where the hero does something to show his love is real." Silas did not look scared. He looked upset. He fixed his jacket, which was black. It looked nice with the red lights in the room. "I have worked hard to build this company and make it strong," he said. "If they think I will give up my life for a story they do not know me." The person telling the story was already ahead of him. Silas's phone rang. It was a video call from Julian Thorne. He was in a police car. He was

    Chapter 8: The Ghostwriter’s ShadowThe silence of the penthouse was now more terrifying than the sirens. Avery stared at her phone, Nora Vale's name glowing on the screen. That name didn't belong here; it belonged to her stories. She had used it when writing to survive hungry nights in Brooklyn."Avery?" Silas's voice was rough as he steadied her. He looked at the screen, his brow furrowing. "Who is Nora Vale?""It's me, " she whispered, her voice trembling. ". Rather it's who I am when I'm not Avery Sterling. It's my writing name. Silas no one knows that name. Not even Leo."Silas stood up his protective instincts taking over. He grabbed the phone analyzing the text. "If they know your pen name they've been in your apartment. They've read your thoughts. This isn't about the company; it's personal."The penthouses' private elevator chimed. Marcus entered his tactical gear scorched and his expression grim."Sir, we have a problem, " Marcus said, glancing at Avery. "We moved Leo Sterli
