The Billionaire's Heiress

3 - New London

Madison

I am starting my work as the new CEO of Elmyra, everyone were surprised about what I'm doing. I am no longer the old me, I became stronger and wiser just like what Charles would have wanted.

I am leading a meeting, with those rich men and women.

"What I am trying to say is we need to focus more on what the people need, not just what they want...."

"Sorry to interrupt, Mrs. Newman..." Janice, my new assistant said.

"What is it Janice?" I asked her.

"Your mother called" She replied.

"Tell her I will call her later" I replied.

"Ma'am you really wanna take this call" she replies, and her reaction seems different.

"I will take it from here Madison" Jeremiah speaks.

"Thank you" I told him. I left the meeting room and go to my office.

Janice is already waiting for me and she is holding the phone. She gave it to me then she leaves my office.

"Madie honey, I'm sorry I got some bad news" Mom said.

"Are you alright mom? What about the kids?" I asked.

"We lost Alec on our way here" Mom said. I started panicking, what could have happened to my son?

"Mom what happened?" I asked.

"We had to stop for gas, and we didn't see Alec go." She explains.

"Honey, we have been to the police and they are already looking for him." Mom replied.

"I'm going there Mom" I told her. I hurried grabbed my coat and out of my office. The meeting seems to be over since people are going out already.

"Madison, what's the rush?" Jeremiah asked.

"Alec's missing, I have to go look for him." I told him.

"Where did he got lost?" he asked.

"In New London" I told him.

"How will you get there?" he asked.

"I'm getting in the car" I told him.

"It will take you hours, let's use your helicopter" he replies.

"We have one?" I asked him.

"Yes, it's on top of Elmyra." He said.

"Is the pilot here?" I asked.

"I can fly it" Jeremiah replies.

After minutes, we flew to New London.

Jeremiah and I rushed to the police station where my Mom and Artie are waiting.

"Madison" Mom said as she continues to cry.

"Mom, are you alright?" I asked her.

"I'm very sorry; I took your children with me in this trip." Mom said.

"Mom, I'm not mad. And we will find Alec, he is a smart kid." I replied to her.

"Are you sure he just went somewhere else, maybe he's been kidnapped" Jeremiah said.

"Well nobody has called about him." I told him.

I want to do something to find my son, I know him well maybe I can think of what he is doing.

"Mom, where did you last saw Alec with you?" I asked Mom.

"At the gas station, we were all together then." She replied.

"Take me to that gas station" I told her.

The police officers escorted us to the location.

"Mrs. Newman, are you sure no one abducted your son? Do you have any person in mind who can do that?" A police officer asked.

"No one, we just got back from London. I haven't made enemies for that short time" I said.

I looked around the gas station. I stayed calm, I know my boy. Alec is really free-spirited kid, he is brave.

My eyes stopped in an open bookstore. Alec loves to read, he must have gotten in there. I started walking towards the bookstore.

"Madison, where are you going?" Jeremiah asked.

"Alec loves books, he must have seen this store" I said to him. Jeremiah seems to have followed me.

"Maybe we can ask the owner" he replied. Both him and I walk towards the door of the bookstore. I saw an old man arranging books at the front.

"Excuse me, sir. Have you seen a kid here? black hair, blue eyes about 4 years old" I asked.

"I just got here, ask my son. He's inside" the old man said.

Jeremiah and I got inside the store. The young man is arranging books, and so I have to get his attention.

"Excuse me? Sir?" I said.

The man turned and looked at me.

I just stopped moving. The man in the bookstore looks like Charles. It is impossible to find someone with the same face as his.

"Charles?" Jeremiah spoke.

"How can I help you?" The man asked.

The man looked at me, just like how Charles did. This man, this man might be my husband!

"Miss, are you alright?" the man asked.

"Charles, is that you?" I asked.

"No, ma'am my name's William. William Spencer." The man said.

"Who's Charles?" the man named William asked.

"Oh don't worry about it." Jeremiah said. I am occupied with so much everything. How could this man be like my husband?

"Madison, hey" Jeremiah said as he tapped my shoulder.

"Mr. Spencer, have you seen a kid he is about 4 years old, black hair, blue eyes. He is about this tall" I said to him.

"He kind of looks like you, but a kid" Jeremiah added.

"Oh" the man said.
