“How come you never told me this before,” Henry questioned her, “I had no idea that your parents had that worth of wealth, it only means that we should be more careful since there is probably more to all if this.” he said to her.

“Honestly I had no idea that my dad was rich and before you say that it’s probably the loss of memory issue, trust me there are no records,” she explained to Henry, “we lived a very normal life like an average family, I never got to get what I wanted rather he only got me what I needed. It still baffles me especially because I was really close to my dad, as his only child,” she mentioned to him.

“Hmm, then I guess that he was trying to protect you and your mom probably from something that still eventually caught up to him,” Henry uttered, they were trying to find the missing puzzle pieces and fix them together, “Look, I really think that you should not place so much time here looking for a ghost.

    “why do I get the feeling that you are actually going to that guys house,” Josephine said to her, giving Nicole a weird look.“Oh please, why would I lie about such a thing Jossy? If I were going there I would tell you,” Nicole said, “I just want to clear my head at my uncle’s house, I am mentally stressed here.” She said to Josephine.“you have refused to mention what this problem you speak of is, you were cool when we first met but once that Henry came you changed. Maybe I could be of help to you somehow,” Josephine uttered trying to convince her to speak about her plight. Nicole was not bulging at all, with the kind of things that they were finding out it was unsafe to let anyone know about the issues on ground.Most crazy of all was that they had not even known the root of it all, neither did they know how dangerous these investigation would get along the line. She was actually trying to protect Josephine, but Josephine would not understand she only thought that her friend was k

    "what! How could you miss such a detail?" Jeremy asked Nicole, "It literally took about an hour to get from Denver to this place on a helicopter, what did you expect in a car?" He questioned her, he was a bit amused by their lack of thinking."moreover even if I realized that, it would not have changed anything. It is not like I had a chopper somewhere that was waiting to get me across town," she said to Jeremy, she was still holding the glass if water she drank little by little."Well it is always fun driving, it gives this amazing sense of adventure that you would not be able to get normally but how come you were able to know the route if you have never driven here before." Jeremy asked Nicole again, he was a bit curious that a sixteen year old was easily able to navigate her way to their house even if he thought it was quite hidden.“My friends driver knew this part of town well, he had come around a couple of times and he knew how to get me to my destination,” Nicole replied to

    Nicole went silent for what felt like eternity thinking of what she could tell him, and before she could gather her thoughts he broke the silence and uttered,“You should not be scared to ask whatever it is you want, Okay. Look, I want you to see us as your new family,” He said to her, in such a warm and welcoming tone.‘Phew, he did not realize that I was listening to his conversation,’ she though to her self. Her heart slowly began to stabilize, as she heard his words.“Anyway, you should go get your stuff, let is head out,” he uttered to her with a smile.‘Damn! That was close,’ she muttered within her mind, she felt bad for Jeremy. He was obviously a good man, yet some part of her would not accept that fact and made her do stupid things. She did not need to come along with much to the river, she brought her phone along and her swimming trunk.Jeremy already awaited her outside the house, when Nicole came out she saw Jeremy walking towards the forest. It was confusing to her s

    “I have no idea what you might have promised him or what is going on, but I promise you that I would find out.” Nicole said to Jeremy, she threw her backpack behind her as she wore it simultaneously. “Thanks anyway, for bringing me out here,” she uttered, showing her gratitude.“Look young lady, I would advice you to just finish up college and enjoy what your dad left behind for you. You do not want to go down that road, trust me a lot of things would go wrong if you do that.” Jeremy said to her.“what exactly do you mean?” Nicole asked him, “What is actually going on, and why would you tell me not to find out who the hell was behind my dad’s death.” She asked him.“Honestly, when you look at this as a realist, no one actually had anything to do with your dad’s death. He was trying to escape and then had an accident on the highway, that’s all.” He explained, “Do not go down that road, no one ever lives to tell the tale,” he stressed even more, his voice as scary as ever.

    Nicole’s discussion with Jeremy played in her head continuously through out that while she was later in her bed, every single word he uttered, his emotions and expressions just seemed like she kept watching the same movie in her mind. It was obvious that Jeremy was a good man, no wonder her Dad was so fond of him.What she geared most now, was the fact that her goals and Jeremy’s goals did not in anyway align with each other and if she was going to do anything It would probably create a rift between both of them. She was really thinking of forgetting all about the investigation and revenge but whenever she remembered her Dad it rekindled every atom of drive within her that pulled her into the same road that Jeremy sternly warned her against.Nicole’s conviction was so strong, merely thinking about stopping her goal made her sick all the time but it was obvious that Jeremy was had a point.Nicole needed someone neutral to talk to, not like she had a lot of friends but she just pic

    “but what if some one there is able to recognize me as Nicole Price?” she asked Jeremy, she feared that maybe some one amongst the congregation may know who she was.“Not to worry it’s a maxed party, do you think I am silly enough to take you to a place that could endanger your life?” he questioned Nicole, “we would not be spending much time there, I just needed to show you something,” he said to her, his gaze fixed upon the road as he drove.“So where is this place that you speak of, and what kind of men would be attending the party and why the hell do you have access to such a gathering,” she questioned him.“Come on, I am like the top lawyer in this state for the elite families and unfortunately most of the elite families are quite messed up. You have no idea how bad most of these elite people are, sometimes they disgust me so bad thatch want to puke,” Jeremy explained to her.“Damn it must be really hard to have to cover up some of their shit, as their lawyer.” She said.“Som

Have a seat, I preserved it for you,” He replied to Nicole, “I am glad that you have returned by the way, at least I get to see you after almost a week. You know, I still do not understand why you just decided to stop attending classes during some days in the week,” he mentioned to Nicole.“I know that you really care about me but I just had a lot on my mind that previous week but most of it was settled during the weekend,” she said to him just to end that particular conversation. “So how have you been, believe me I missed our convos.” She told him, wearing a subtle smile on her face whole
