Chapter 14

My dad had been crazy rich. It'd always been the two of us against the world and nothing was too good for me. We had the big house with maids, plus a beach house that was more luxurious than most people's everyday houses. I'd gone to the best schools and I'd worn the best clothes. Even though I had friends, most of the time I ignored them and went straight from school to Dad's office. I'd sit on a chair beside him and play business then he'd put me on his shoulders and take me around to meet the staff.

"One day, this will all be yours, honey." That's what he'd say to me.

I'd laugh. It seemed silly to me as a kid because I thought it was all mine anyway. All the offices. All the buildings he'd take me to see that were his. All the meetings where I played on the floor while he talked business.

When I got older, I'd still go to the office. Sometimes I'd go with him to meetings. But sometimes he'd tell me to run home.

"It's no place for a young girl," he'd say.

I'd pout but he'd never change his mind.

I expected this to go on forever. I'd get my degree then work with him in the business. I'd never have to worry about finding a job because all this would be mine one day.

I had it planned out. While I'd had a few boyfriends in high school, when I met Tom the plan fell into place. He came from a similar family and everyone said it would be the perfect relationship. Our businesses would merge when we married and we'd run them together. I never thought about things like excitement or fun in a relationship because that would come from the business.

We'd gone away to university together. Tom wanted to get into the best law program in the country and I followed behind him, thinking moving to another state would be an adventure. Although, to be honest, my life didn't really change that much. Same life, different place.

Then, a few months ago, Frank called me and told me to pack my things and come home.

"Is Dad ill?" I asked.

"No, nothing like. I can't really explain over the phone."

I'd packed up my bags and headed home, feeling a bit exasperated. It wasn't long until exams and I needed to study. I didn't really have time for family drama.

When I got off the plane, Frank was waiting for me.

"Where's Dad?" I asked. I had a horrible feeling Frank had been lying about him not being ill. Otherwise, why wasn't he there to pick me up himself? Why hadn't he phoned himself? None of this made sense.

"He's… well, we aren't sure where he is at the moment."

He didn't say much else until we got back to his house. I had a feeling he didn't want to tell me in front of the driver, so I didn't push it. I spent that ride from the airport with my face against the window of the car, trying not to think of all the possibilities.
