Chapter Five

Even though Courtney had been to Anderson’s house many times over the years, it had always been for parties or other social events. Today the mansion that Anderson had lived in for so long was practically empty. Even when Courtney stepped inside, the doom and gloom seemed to ooze from every corner of the house. She had never seen the mansion so empty. An aura of sadness seemed to radiate everywhere.

Courtney was shown up the stairs towards Anderson’s room. She passed by Jill who was curled up on a couch in one of the living rooms upstairs. Jill didn’t look up. She was looking out the window with empty eyes. Courtney couldn’t help but feel a surge of irritation. She spoke to Jill the most. Why hadn’t Jill told her? Why hadn’t anyone told her that Anderson was dying?

The butler took her past Jill and down the hallway where she knew Anderson had his rooms. He used to complain his house was too large but he didn’t know what to do with his billions. For some reason Courtney felt sad knowing he never ended up with a smaller house.

Anderson had another living room area just outside his bedroom. George was here, in a corner of the room, looking outside the window. He didn’t glance at her when she stepped inside. To Courtney’s surprise, Rebecca was here as well. She was sitting on one of the couches, holding a book tightly between her hands. She looked different than the last time Courtney had seen her. All her hair was shaved off, for one, leaving her completely bald. Her clothes looked like she had been training with monks or something in India, which wouldn’t have surprised Courtney at all. Rebecca had always been a bit on the chubby side but was now so skinny her cheekbones seemed to poke out of her face.

When she saw Courtney, she offered her a wan smile, “Long time no see.”

“Rebecca. Did you just get in?”

“Last night.”

“You’re here.” Came another voice.

Courtney turned around and saw Alex coming out of one of the rooms on the side. Today he was wearing just a regular t-shirt and jeans. His face looked the same but his hair was messy, as if he had been running his fingers through it non-stop.

For some reason, Courtney felt relieved at seeing him. George was giving off a vibe that clearly told everyone he didn’t want to talk to anyone. Rebecca was practically a stranger now. Jill was staring at nothing in the other room. She hadn’t seen Sydney anywhere.

As if sensing her thoughts, Alex glanced at the door, “Sydney is in there right now. Have a seat.”

Courtney sat down on a chair and Alex sat down on the couch, pulling out his phone.

At this George seemed to come alive, “Must you really tend to business now?” He snapped.

“I’m not checking my business right now.” Alex replied, clearly trying to keep his tone light.

But George refused to let it drop, “You shouldn’t even be here, Alex.
