Inheritance Of Secrets

Revenge is near

"Alisa, why do I have to go to a charity ball?"

She quickened her pace to catch up to me, "You need to show the media the strong connection you have with the Hawthornes and the new friendship with Avery."

I whip my head to the side to stare at her. She was trying not to panic but she obviously was. If I didn't want to go, I wouldn't and she knew this.

"What do I get if I go?" I asked. Avery got to see the Red Will and if Alsia is as desperate as I think she is she is going to give me anything.

She sighed, "Fine what do you want?"

"I want 5 million dollars out of my inheritance to be transferred into a different account." Alisa looked completely baffled. She was not expecting something to do with money. I usually tend to ask for favours like covering up a disappearance of mine.

"Why do you want 5 million dollars? Don't say for your brother because he had his own trust fund and it is plenty enough for the rest of his life" she exclaimed.

"It's not for my brother. It's just in case of an emergency."

Alisa seems to be getting more confused and angry by the second, "Why would you need 5 million dollars for an emergency."

"My mother is leaving to go off to Europe after she is finished with rehab. I have a feeling she might need some money and I don't want to give any to her. Make an account and deposit it please and I will go to this charity event." I watched her debate on the request. She would take it. I know it.

"Fine, You also have to go dress shopping with me and Avery today. Oren will tell you about the procedure we will have to take due to recent incidents."

I rolled my eyes, "You mean Avery getting shot? My guess is the shooter is definitely that Libby girl's ex. Felions rarely ever redeem themselves; it's stupid to think they will."

A tall presence walks up behind us, "That is simply because you lack faith in people An." We both turn around, "Le le what are you scheming."

Nash's mere presence in a room let alone him talking to her gets Alisa fired up. Their break-up wasn't sudden but it hurt. They were the first healthy relationship I had ever seen. Knowing both of them closely almost gave me hope that there was always someone out there who truly understood you.

"Annabelle has decided to go dress shopping with Avery and me," She said calmly keeping her head high. Trying to show she was in control here.

Nash leaned against the wall, "How did you manage that?"

I interrupted Alsia before she could even start. "I get 5 million dollars put into a different trust account under your name." To limit the power Alisa thinks she has all you have to do is let her control slip. Telling Nash, him being my trustee, was slowing making sure I was in control of it. We were similar in that way. We both need control.

"5 million, I like the hustle kid," he tips his hat down in my direction.

"I try."

Alisa huffs, "I'm getting Avery, meet me down at the car in twenty minutes Annabelle."

I watched as she started walking off in the direction of Avery's room before turning to face Nash.

"Do you think she will notice if I go missing," I ask him looking like a hopeful little child.

He laughs, "Sorry but there's no getting out of this one kid."

"Fuck."
