Hijacked Of Innocence Book II (Captive In Plain Sight - Eric & Tanya story)

Chapter 41. All I Need

Sharon dropped by Tanya's for  a  "girls day"  of bonding.  She walked through the door and her mouth never stopped moving.  "That Lloyd  is so damn cute; he coming with us? Where was he when I was drooling over Eric in high school?" she laughed.

"He is much better looking than Eric," she continued. 

"No one is better looking than Eric; does Eli know that you have a thing for Lloyd?" Tanya asked. 

Sharon quickly changed the subject.  "This house is off the chart," Sharon said  of  Tanya's house for what seemed like the millionth  time .  

"You say that every time you come here," Tanya pointed out.

Sharon laughed.  "I keep hinting at Eli that I want a house just like this; it's like living in a frigging resort and being on vacation everyday," Sharon continued. 

"Eric must be rolling in dough  to afford to build a house like this for you? Do you even know how much Eric is worth?" Sharon asked. 

"No, I really don't  give it that much thought," Tanya said.

"Well if you ever decide to leave him, you would want to continue to maintain the lifestyle that you are accustom to; wouldn't you?" Sharon asked looking around the house and touching everything.

"All I ever need is his love; I never think about the money," Tanya said. 

"Of course not, you have so much of it; I sure hope you are socking away some of it  where Eric  can't find it,  just in case; I do that with Eli and he doesn't have nearly as much money as Eric; push come to shove I will not be left penniless," Sharon said.

"Why are we discussing  my finances again?" Tanya asked.

"I overheard these men talking last night about who had money on the island;  they were saying  that Eric  is one of the wealthiest person in the hemisphere; he is worth millions if not billions and most of it is from that business deal he has with his uncle," Sharon said. 

Tanya was surprised to hear that.  "What business deal?" Tanya asked. 

"Eric is not a little fish in a big pond or  a  big  fish in a little pond for that matter; he is big fish in a big pond," Sharon said.

"Will you stop talking in riddle and tell me what you mean?" Tanya said.

"Well you have to know that his uncle  Linden is the biggest pot dealer on the island; I hear that Eric facilitate the transportation of the product since he has so much influence here and abroad," Sharon said.

"Are you implying that Eric is dealing drugs?" Tanya was shocked to say the least.

"I do not consider pot drug  or else most of us would be considered "drug addicts" I am telling you what the rumor is," Sharon said.

 "Eric  works hard in his family business; I believe every dime he makes is from either the construction and real property development business or his music production; how can you say shit like that?" Tanya asked Sharon.  

Tanya was obviously upset at what Sharon said.

"Well dont shoot the messinger;  it is what I hear; being in the entertainment business, I overhear a lot of shit and I asked Eli....he believes Eric is among the wealthiest on the island and very influencial too; he worships Eric; I just hope he doesn't adapt any of Eric's bad habits," Sharon said.

"Well dont believe everything  or repeat everything you hear; none of  that bit about  dealing pot is true about Eric," Tanya said defending her man.
