IT'S NOT JUST THE BILLIONS [COMPLETED]

29

Lincoln's P. O. V.

I looked at the designs placed in front of my desk by Ciara, my secretary. I rarely went to the office. I had these designs planned out for the house I planned on moving in with Anna. I'm sick and tired of wanting to please anybody. I just want her back.

Is she being unreasonable about it?

Would I even understand if I were in her shoes?

"I would get back to these"I said, not wanting to look at the designs. It crushes my heart and makes me feel empty. I know I haven't lost her. I can't.

Have I?

"Dude I gotta talk to you"I heard Julian say while busting into my study. "Ciara out"he said with seriousness written all over his face.

"You can't just walk in here and..."I started.

"Trust me whatever you both are discussing is not as important as what I have to say to you"

"Ciara... please wait in the sitting room" I said, gesturing for her to leave. I watched her leave, turning to Julian who kept tapping his phone.

"What the hell do you have to say then?"

"If I tell you the accident wasn't an accident but someone planned on killing you would you believe me?"

"What?"I asked, confused.

"Someone tried to kill you Lincoln. You and Anna"

"How do you know that?"I asked.

He walked to the door, locking it before bringing out a phone from his back pocket.

"Is that?..."I paused.

"Yes. Yes Lincoln"

"I don't get it"

"They both tried to kill you and Anna"

"Show me what's in the phone" I said, wanting to see the text messages or something else that will serve as evidence if truly Julian was right.

"Texts from the night Anna was admitted. They tried to squash your car from Anna's side"he said, unlocking the phone and handing it to me.

"No fucking way. How did you get the cell phone?"

"Long story. Just be very lucky I got here as soon as I can"

"What if Anna is in danger?"I asked, standing on my feet. "What if they come for her? Fuck I gotta go"

"I tried calling her but it kept going straight to voicemail"

"Would she even believe me? She has to!"I said, getting my coat on, grabbing my car keys and rushing out of the house.

Under the scorching sun, I scrunched my nose up in annoyance. I should have worn a face cap. I looked at Anna's door, pleading for her to open up. I had to park my Car a few blocks away so she would open up and not know I was around.

I was disappointed at the face I came across as soon as the door swung opened.

"Where's Anna?"I asked.

"She's sound asleep"Jeremy said, folding his arms. He was wearing a black tank top and blue jeans. I am not intimidated by his muscles. I got muscles too.

I got money. What does he have? Why the hell did I even think that?

"I gotta..."I said, wanting to come in but he placed his hand, avoiding me from getting in.
