Two people sit in a dimly lit room playing a deadly game of fate. What led them to this game and who will win?

         We all have secrets that we don't want anyone to know; even ones we keep from the people we're closest to. When a dark secret is unlocked, Ebony Williams turns against her absurdly rich father, refusing to listen to his persistent reasoning and pathetic excuses. What he's done is wrong and unforgivable. Rather than just running away from home, over-confident Ebony plans to get her own back by scamming her father out of his entire fortune with the help of her not-so-perfect boyfriend and one of her father's biggest rivals.

"That means you're coming with me too then." He groans, bringing a hand up to his forehead and rubbing it in exasperation. "Excuse me?" My chest puffs up indignantly. "I don't think me or this baby will be going anywhere with you." "Ever since he was born, he and the mother have been in danger." He snarls as he comes up to my face. "And now that you've found him, your life is in equal danger." I blanch. Shaking my head, I slap down my impending terror. "Your point?" The foreboding man leans forward and switches his gaze between me and the slumbering child in my arms. "My point,"-he licks his lips-"is that I'm the only chance you have at surviving." ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Having his wife run away with his unborn son sets Adrian Raines off on a mission to find them.
