    <b>Chapter </b><b>220 </b>


    Chapter 14<b>: </b><b>Secrets </b>and Lies.


    <b>51 </b>


    Christian sat at hisputer staring at the names of the officers that worked the cell ward Josie had been housed in four years ago. Out of all the names that showed up on his screen; only one name appeared multiple times.


    Lawrence Tillman.


    Every time she was ced in solitude or the infirmary. Every time she was reprimanded or disciplined, he seemed to be themanding correction officer. Christian wasn’t convinced it was of coincidence. Christian immediately


    called his assistant.


    <i>“</i>Sir.”


    <i>“</i><i>Get </i>me <i>everything </i><i>you </i><i>can </i><i>on </i><i>Lawrence </i><i>Tillman</i>. <i>I </i><i>want </i>to <i>know </i><i>where </i><i>he </i>lives, <i>how </i>long he’s <b>been </b>at that <i>woman’s </i><i>prison</i><i>…</i><i>if </i>he’s <i>ever </i><i>had </i><i>debt</i>. <i>I </i><i>want </i><i>to </i><i>know </i><i>everything</i>! <i>I </i><i>also </i><i>want </i><i>to </i><i>know </i>who <i>he’s </i><b><i>been </i></b><i>in </i><i>contact </i><i>with </i>the past four <i>years</i>.”


    <b>As </b>Christian gave his orders, on the other side of the door, Vanessa began to panic.


    <i>‘</i><i>Shit</i>!!! <i>Shit</i><i>! </i><b><i>If </i></b><i>he </i><i>finds </i><i>out </i><i>about </i><i>my </i><i>deal with </i><i>Tillman </i><i>I’m </i><i>fuckin </i><i>done</i><i>!</i><i>‘ </i>


    Vanessa quickly ran to her room and grabbed her phone. With shaking fingers<b>, </b>she dialed Tillman’s number. After two rings, a groggy voice answered.


    <b><i>“</i></b><b><i>Yeah</i></b><i>, </i><i>who’s </i><i>this</i><b><i>?</i></b><b><i>” </i></b>


    <i>“</i><i>It’s </i><i>me</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    “Who the <i>hell </i>is m-<b>” </b>


    “Vanessa <i>Taylor</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    <i>“</i>Yeah? What <i>the </i><i>hell </i><i>do </i><i>you </i><i>want</i>? Got another <i>girl </i><i>you </i>want-”


    “You need to <i>leave </i><i>town </i><i>for </i><i>a </i><i>while</i>. <i>Now</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    Tillman sat up in his bed and rubbed his stomach. Irritated and confused, he questioned Vanessa.


    “Just what <i>the </i>hell are <i>you </i>talking about?”


    <i>“</i><i>My </i><i>brother </i>is Investigating <i>what </i>happened <i>to </i>Joste.”


    <b>17:59 </b><b>Thu</b><b>, </b><b>Sep </b><b>25 </b>


    :


    Tillman’s <b>eyes </b>widen. What the fuck was going on! When Vanessa first approached him about Josie; <b>in </b>addition to paying him over five hundred thousand’s dors<b>, </b>she promised he wouldn’t get caught.


    <b>51 </b>


    <i>“</i><i>So </i><i>you’re </i>telling me <i>I </i><i>get </i>to <i>torture </i>a TAYLOR <i>and </i>NOT get <i>caught</i><i>! </i><i>Bullshit</i><i>! </i>Look <idy</i>, <i>I </i>don’t know what type <b>of </b><i>game </i><i>you’re </i>running <i>but </i><i>I </i>can’t be fooled.”


    Vanessa smirked slyly.


    “In two <i>days </i>my <i>father </i><i>is </i><i>going </i>to <i>hold </i>a <i>press </i>conference <i>denouncing </i><i>Josie </i><i>Taylor </i><i>from </i>the <i>family</i>. <i>So </i>you <b><i>see</i></b><b>; </b>she will <i>no </i><i>lo-</i><b>” </b>


    <i>“</i>Father<i>?? </i><i>Wait</i>…<i>this </i><i>chick </i>is <i>your </i><i>sister</i><i>? </i><i>What </i><i>the </i><i>fuck</i><i>?</i><b><i>” </i></b>


    Tillman stood in amazement as he listened to this girl offer him thousands of dors to torment her own sister.


    <i>“</i><i>Ha</i><i>…</i><i>you </i><i>rich </i><i>people </i><i>are </i><i>deranged</i><i>.</i>”


    Vanessa rolled her eyes; she needed to wrap this up quickly as she had a nail appointmenting up soon.


    <i>“</i>Look, <i>are </i><i>you </i><i>in </i><i>or </i><i>not</i><i>? </i>Because <i>if </i><i>your </i><i>not </i><i>then </i><i>point </i><i>me </i>to <i>someone </i><i>who </i><i>would </i><i>be</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Tillman sneered.


    <i>“</i><i>So </i><i>how </i><i>do </i>you <i>know </i>I’ll <i>even </i><i>do </i><i>it</i>? <i>What’s </i><i>to </i><i>stop </i>me <i>from </i><i>just </i><i>taking </i><i>the </i><i>money </i>or <i>telling </i>your <i>family</i><i>?</i><b>” </b>


    Vanessaughed hysterically.


    <i>“</i>Do I look like <i>an </i><i>idiot </i><i>to </i><i>you </i><i>Officer </i><i>Tillman</i>? <i>Tell </i><i>my </i><i>family</i><i>…please</i>. I <i>looked </i><i>into </i>you <i>Tillman</i><i>…</i><i>you’ve </i>taken <i>pleasure </i><i>out </i>of <i>torturing </i><i>women </i><i>for </i><i>free</i><b><i>. </i></b><i>Now </i><i>you </i><i>can </i><i>get </i><i>paid </i><i>for </i><i>it</i>.<i>” </i>


    Vanessa slid a picture of Josie over to Tillman. His eyes darkened as he licked his lips. Vanessa smiled smugly.


    “<i>So</i><i>…</i><b><i>do </i></b>we <i>have </i>a <i>deal</i><i>?</i><b><i>” </i></b>


    Tillman looked at Vanessa, a sick hunger in his eyes. He’d never had a rich heiress<b>…</b>this should be fun. Vanessa slid


    a card over to him.


    “That’s my contact <i>info</i><i>. </i><i>You’ll </i>send me <i>monthly </i>updates regarding her demise. I don’t need to know the details<i>; </i><i>just </i>that <i>she’s </i><i>living </i><i>in </i><i>hell</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Tillman took the card, a puzzled look on his face.


    “Out of curiosity<i>…</i><i>why </i><i>are </i>you doing this<b><i>?</i></b><b>” </b>


    Vanessa stared and Tillman smiling coldly.


    <b>17:59 </b><b>Thu</b><b>, </b><b>Sep </b><b>25 </b>


    <i>“</i><i>I </i>need her <i>to </i>hate <i>my </i><i>parents</i>. <i>Only </i><i>I </i>can <i>be </i><i>the </i><i>Taylor </i>princess.<b>” </b>


    Tillman felt a slight shudder; <b>this </b>girl was beyond heartless.


    After transferring the money into his ount. Vanessa stood to leave. Suddenly, Tillman called out.


    “Hey<i>! </i><i>How </i><i>do </i>I <i>know </i><i>your </i><i>family </i><i>won’t </i><ie </i><i>investigating </i><i>this</i><b><i>?</i></b><b><i>” </i></b>


    Vanessa smiled innocently; don’t worry. I’ll convince my family to let her go for the next four years.


    <i>“</i><i>And </i><i>they’ll </i><i>listen</i><i>?</i><b><i>” </i></b>


    “Of <i>course</i><b><i>.</i></b><b>” </b>


    A dark thought crept into Tillman’s mind.


    <i>“</i><i>You’re </i><i>the </i><i>one </i><i>that </i><i>killed </i><i>that </i><i>person </i><i>in </i><i>that </i>DUI….aren’t <i>you</i><b><i>?</i></b><b><i>” </i></b>


    Vanessa smiled eerily.


    <i>“</i><i>Yup</i><i>…</i><i>and my </i><i>family </i><i>instantly </i><i>decided </i>to <i>sacrifice </i><i>her </i>for <i>me</i><i>. </i><i>So </i>you <b><i>see</i></b>…<i>they’ll </i><i>believe </i><i>and </i><i>do </i><i>anything </i>I <i>say</i><i>. </i>Do <i>well </i><i>to </i><i>remember </i><i>that </i><i>in </i>case <i>you </i>ever <i>think </i><i>about </i><i>fucking </i><i>me</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Vanessa walked out of Tillman’s apartment leaving him a feeling of both fear and excitement. He’d just received 500k and he’d get to have some fun with a beautiful young heiress.


    That was what he’d thought the day he made that deal; now<b>, </b>on the other end…Vanessa was telling him he had to


    leave town. <fn92ec> Newest update provided by </fn92ec>

    “How <i>did </i><i>you </i><i>fuck </i><i>this </i><i>up</i>!!!”


    Tillman barked through his phone; the board was already on him about those incidents involving Josie. Someone told the warden he was always the residing officer and she’d been up his ass ever since. And now he might have one of the Eastern region’s <b>most </b>powerful families on his neck.


    <i>“</i>You <b><i>need </i></b>to <i>calm </i>down<i>!</i><i>” </i>


    Vanessa tried to keep her voice low to make sure no one would hear her.


    “No! Fuck <i>that</i><i>! </i>We need to <i>meet</i>! ASAP!!!<i>” </i>


    Tillman hung up immediately. He quickly opened hisputer and checked his offshore ount.


    <i>“</i><i>Shit</i><i>…</i><i>I’m </i>down to 50k. That’s not remotely <i>enough </i>to relocate; that little bitch is going to have to <i>pay </i>up some more money<b>.</b>”


    Tillman texted an address to Vanessa informing her to meet him at 4pm. As she stared at her phone, her eyes darkened at the final part of his text.


    [Bring money<i>! </i><i>You </i>want me gone….I’m going to need a <i>million </i><i>dors</i>!<b>] </b>


    *****How <i>the </i><i>fuck </i>am <i>I </i><b>supposed </b>to <b><i>get </i></b>that <i>much </i>money <b><i>unnoticed</i></b><b>!’ </b>


    It was <b>hard </b><b>enough </b>getting <b>the </b>500k. <b>She </b><b>had </b><b>to lie </b><b>and </b><b>say </b>she was <b>hosting </b>a <b>charity </b><b>event </b><b>in </b><b>the </b><b>neighboring </b><b>region</b><b>. </b><b>There </b><b>was </b><b>no </b><b>way </b><b>Chris </b>or <b>her dad </b>would <b>believe </b><b>that </b><b>story </b><b>again</b><b>. </b><b>She </b><b>had </b><b>to </b><b>think </b><b>of </b><b>something </b><b>quick</b>; <b>the </b><b>time </b>was <b>now </b>1pm<b>, </b><b>she </b><b>had </b><b>exactly </b><b>three </b>hours <b>to </b><be </b>up <b>with </b><b>that </b>money.


    Marlon showed up at Watts–Corp. He had a meeting with thepany’s new CEO, Joshua Watson. Watts–Corp was thergest hotel and resorts chain in all four of the major regions. He and Marlon had been friends <b>since </b>college. When Marlon got home, Joshua was one of the first people he reconnected with. It was then he learned about Joshua firing the firm his family used to design all of their hotels and resorts.


    He knew Joshua would desperately be trying to find their recement.


    <b>As </b>Marlon stepped in the elevator, he looked down at the folder in his hand. Before prison, Josie wanted to go to school for architecture and design. Her talents were amazing, shocking even the most seasoned <b>firms</b>. Marlon had no doubt if it had not been for the Taylors ruining her life, she would have met Joshua all on her on.
