Into The Unknown

Chapter 61

Ryan's POV

I still can't believe the record label is closing, shutting down, dropping all artists...we have made that company millions over the years and this is the thanks we get leaving us high and dry with no warning "Even with all our money combined we still can't cover our recording, producing, touring and legal costs" Brent exhaled as he put down his pen "Either this record needs to be the best we've ever done or we will be flitting off into the sunset"

"Hey Ryan have you read this article in Heat magazine" Drew interrupted with a smirk "Abigail Jenson-Tedder is reportedly one of the most successful women of her generation" I smiled too as Drew read it out loud, I still loved hearing Abi's name ending with mine "Not only has she made a name for herself through numerous acting roles in TV Shows and Movies. Abigail is also the head of a pretty impressive business empire which includes properties, a resturant, fragrance and fashion lines, 3 bars and of course her famous Dance School- AJ Dance- although the dance school is a charity funded by Abigail and not a business. Abigail's fortune has reached somewhere in the 560 million dollar mark, and with talks of a new make up range and fitness range we are certain her fortune will continue to increase"

"Wow did you know she was worth all that man?" Zach was genuinely stunned, I nod my head quickly and smile.

"Yeah I had an idea, Abi doesn't really keep check on her bank, Tony usually does all that for her. All Abi said to Tony once was don't tell me anything as long as I can pay my bills, it's just a number...but I want to know when I have more money than Beiber" I smile as the other guys laugh, they know how competitive Abi can be when it comes to other celebrities.

"So last month Tony called Abi and said "Baby girl you're officially financially bigger than Beiber"

"560 Million Dollars, Jesus" Eddie sighed "Does she even know how much she's worth dude?"

"Yeah but she doesn't tend to dwell too much on figures" I try and explain the way Abi thinks, but the guys are right the fact Abi is worth $560million is pretty mind blowing.

As I looked around the room it overwhelmed that not one of these guys had even suggested that Abi could save our skin, by investing in the label and taking over. The only reason it had crossed my mind is because I knew once Abi found out about us being dropped, then investing money is one of the first things she would offer to do. Which to be honest is the last thing I wanted.

It's not that I am not grateful it's just more complicated than most situations. People would be watching and judging us, I didn't want people to see Abi as my own personal bank account. She was my wife, the mother of my unborn babies and most importantly the woman who I promised to love and protect for the rest of my life. Money was never a part of our wedding vows, nor is it a contribution to who we are. Abi saw her money as a way of helping people, with her dance school and the homeless shelters she regularly donated generously too.

"It just shows truly just how beautiful Abi is" Drew grinned "On the inside aswell as the outside, I don't think I have ever met a celebrity as young as Abi who gives so much back"

It was alway nice hearing they guys say nice things about Ab's "She is one hell of a woman bro, I'll give her that" Zach spoke up from behind his guitar.

Suddenly my cell phone vibrated across the table, it was quite late for Leroy to call me. My first instinct was Abi and the twins, I could feel the colour drain from my face as I picked it up "H..Hello" my voice was staggered and my hands were shaking. It's far too soon for something to have happened with the babies.

"Ryan we've got a situation" Leroy's voice was calm but concerned.

"What kind of situation, what's happened is Abi okay?" I could see the other guys were hanging on to my every word as I spoke to Leroy.

"Not really man, She is really shaken. Dominic Hendly's girlfriend was in the house..." he paused for my reaction.

"What the hell?" My first instinct was to yell. I could feel the blood in my veins boiling at the thought of someone in our house "What happened? Did she hurt Ab's? What did she want?"

"I don't know but she was in the babies nursery. Abi went to put some thing's away and she was just stood holding a teddy"

"Is Abi okay?" All sorts of thoughts were rushing around in my head "Did she do anything?"

"Abi hit the SOS button on her cell, when I got there Kelsey just ran into the gardens. The police are here talking to Abi now"

"Right okay" my heart was pounding in my chest as I thought about someone being that close to my wife. Someone who had made plans just a short while ago to throw acid in her face.

"Ryan, she is flying out to New York tonight" Leroy sounded even more concerned than before "She won't settle staying here, she says she wants to be with you"

"Fine when does she get here?" Obviously she wanted to be with me. To be honest I won't rest properly unless she is with me either.

"In a couple of hours, I am driving her to the airport soon, while Lex and the police take care of everything here" Leroy was always 1 step ahead in situations like this, which helped to take the pressure off.

"How is she?" My main priority now was my wife and her safety.

"Not great" Leroy sighed "She is really shaken, but you know Abi..."

"Yeah, Well I will be there to meet you at the airport" I listen to Leroy's arrangements and then hang up. Eddie, Zach, Drew and Brent are eagerly awaiting to hear what has happened "Kelsey was in the house, in the babies nursery when Abi went to put some thing's in there"

"Are you kidding?" Brent gasped in total shock "How the hell did she get in the house?"

"I have no idea, but Abi is flying over tonight..."

"That's understandable, I bet she is shaken to the core" Drew added "When does she land?"

"6am at JFK" I need to meet her there.

"Of course" Zach nodded and looked at Eddie.

I turn and make my way towards the door "Oh and it's probably best if we don't mention a anything about the record label"

Everyone shakes their heads "We won't say a word man" Eddie smiled "I hope she's okay"
