Five Hargreeves Age Novels & Stories

“No. I don't have any information on their birth certificate,” Harry finally answered. “That information isn’t readily available unless we do some invasive investigation.” My heart dropped. My fingers clenched tighter around the phone. “So you found nothing else?” Harry hesitated. “It probably won't be useful to you, but I did find out the kids' age. They're five years old.” I froze. “Are you sure?” I asked, my voice suddenly rough. “Yes, sir. A few months over five, actually.”

The implication, the threat, the secret, and suddenly I knew that the woman who raised me wasn't just chasing attention. She knew something…Something she had kept hidden for twenty-five years, something that might finally explain how Amelia Hargrove disappeared. I realized the answers might not be buried in Hargrove records at all. They might have been living in my childhood home the entire time.

Then she straightened again, pushing the tension aside like it didn’t matter. “So,” she said lightly, swirling her drink. “Back to the problem.” Arabella picked up her phone and scrolled her contacts. Stopped on a name. Turned the screen around. Cressida squinted at it. “Victor Hargrove? Bella he looks like someone’s grandfather.” “He’s sixty-two.” “Does he have grandchildren?” “Three.” “Three.” Cressida looked scandalized in the delighted way. “And he’s going to help you because—”

It was a private dinner with twelve people. The real agenda stayed unspoken. That suited me fine. Hidden agendas were my specialty. Hargreave was the sixth person to arrive. I had studied his file for two weeks, so I knew his face the moment he walked in. Mid-sixties, gray hair. The type of man whose opinion people rarely question. He came straight to us. “Harper.” He took both my hands in his. “I’ve been hoping we would meet properly. The work you did with the Children’s Foundation last month was impressive. It deserved more attention.”

But at that moment, Senior Armstrong smiled. “Oh Harvey, it’s been five years since you called me. Do you really have that many opinions about me? I was only asking you to be my grandson-in-law before. It’s fine that you reject me, but to not keep in touch with me for this long? This is a little too much!” Harvey was speechless. “Old man, your granddaughter was only ten years old! Even if you don’t need to save face, I still have my dignity to protect, you know?!”

Her voice came young and ladylike. Grace was a young 25 year old whom Grey hired right out of high school. He saw something in her and he was right to gamble.. - Hey Grace, how you doing!?" He spoke with a sigh. - Am good now! I thought you were Dead!" He heard the sounds of car horns and people in the background she was driving somewhere. - Yeah.. I needed some alone time!" - Five years worth of it! You couldn't come back at a better time. I just met with a gift shop owner who sold me an antique weapon. From what I read in the library about it... Seven figures."

That evening, @saintaurelius_confessions posted one final update on the Hargreaves situation. ‘Elena Vale was thirty-eight years old, she had two children and one still goes to this school. He’s been walking these corridors for years beside the family responsible for her death and he didn’t know. But he knows now. We’re done covering the Hargreaves case, the documentation is now public. The rest is for the courts. — M The comments were quiet for once, and people didn’t reply so much. Late that night Eli took the pen from his desk, and turned it over in his hands, it was solid and heavy.

6 Months Later, after Jessica had birthed Godsent, she had recovered and looked more beautiful. She finished having her breakfast with her three kids on the second floor of her father's mansion. Mr. Luke Albert had returned home from the village, as he is a 63-year-old man.
