HEART knows where HOME is

PART 47

One year later

Entering Ashs office I find Chris laying in the main chair just like he has been doing for the past year.We both falled in an agreement that we were going to split the job of leading the Knights company as for the time Ash wouldnt be found.Talking about Ash as soon as the news spreaded itself that the most rich bachelor in the world was missing the medias started investigating but finding nothing they started building possible chances of what may have happened to him including here even the big possibility that he might have died but nobody wants to make it official.The first week it was terrible,medias where flooding from anywhere and suffocating us with questions and when they saw we werent about to give an explanation anytime soon they started hacking our social medias and even intruding in our privacy just in hope to find something.Chris even had his house robbed and turned upside down.Thats when we decided it had gotten creepy enough and we held a public speech where we lied to them saying Ash was on a vacation which would take more than usual ones and that he wanted this to be kept private but he will be back soon.Ofc after this "lame"explanation people stopped talking but there are still those who still believe he is dead..but ofc they are too afraid to talk.

"Hi Chris":-I greeted him while taking a seat enjoying the view from the glass wall.

"Did you find anything?":-Chris asked sighing while closing the pc he was working on and rubbing his temples.

"No still nothing":-I whispered.We both have been very tired this year..not only we took the responsibility to keep this company up even tho we had ours too but we were the only ones who still hadnt given up searching on Ash.In the time where no one even dared to mention it because it was a very sensitive topic for all of us...they all had given up..we still hoped and searched every day and night for him..every small thing that could lead us to him..but nothing.We didnt tell anyone about the fact that we are still searching because we know we would have been shouted "Dont open old wounds" except Ashs mother who still secretly asks us if we have found anything from time to time.

"Its been a year...a year":-Chris said turning towards the glass wall himself and i knew he was crying because he didnt want me to see.

"But we shouldnt lose hope":-I told him

"Ofc I wouldnt.I would never.Thats like forgetting about him.":-he replied never turning back.

"Goodbye my friend":-I said before taking the files in his desk because tomorrow was my turn to work and leaving knowing damn well that just like everytime I wouldnt be getting an answer.

"Where are you brother?":-was the last thing I heard before taking my way...
