A Trillionaire’s Revenge

CHAPTER 40

9 YEARS AGO. . .

"Why are we running, mommy?"Lily asks, tired.

Jack has a frown on his face as he waits for his mother to tell yet another lie.

"We're not running away, sweetie. We're just moving to somewhere much safer"

"Safer? Mom! We didn't do anything! Why do you and dad keep making us run from place to place? Dad's innocent so shouldn't have to run or hide!" Jack yells, tired of moving endlessly.

"We don't have another option, son. Please, no arguments, we need to get going and meet up with your father!"

Jack gives up, but he's not satisfied. Anna was young, so she didn't quite understand what was going on or why they had to run continuously. But as for him, he knew what was going on, at-least, to an extent.

Almost a two hour trip, Ava Hugh-Gray and her two children reach their destination. As soon as they get down the bus, she reaches for her burner phone and dials her husband.

"The alley? We've arrived, come to the door" She says. She directs her children to the dark alley not too far ahead and looks around cautiously, hoping no one had followed them or even worse, watching them.

Following a very crooked path in the dark alley, they arrive at their destination. Their new haven. George, Ava's husband and the children's father quickly opens the door. They get in and he locks the door. Jack notices the door has several locks.

He holds his sisters hand, as he watches his parents caress each other.

"Lily" George says, as he picks up his daughter.

"Hi, daddy. Ice- ice cream"

He chuckles, "You want some ice cream? Dad's got you some toys, you wanna see them?" He turns to Jack, "Hello, son"

"I'm tired of hiding, dad. I told mom. I didn't want to come here"

"Son, you need to understand, your father and I are only doing what's bes-

Running away isn't what's best mom, we didn't do anything!
