 James Watson stared at his screen for several minutes looking at thetest grand opening of a Gallery. Over the past four months there had been several grand openings for restaurants and galleries that was causing buzz throughout the Eastern Region. High praises regarding the building often unique architectural designing had be the talk of the town. With eachunch, many couldn’t wait to see what new creative sets would be thought of next.

 James smiled smugly, he knew the board had been upset with Joshua about his firing of their original architectural firm. This would be the push they needed to demote Joshua as CEO and appoint him. FINALLY, Watts–Corp would be his; all he had to do was find the designer responsible…Elizabeth Bowen.

 “Spencer…I want you to find out everything you can about this new architectural designer Elizabeth Bowen and bring it to 

 me.” 

 “Yes sir.” 

 As James‘ assistant left his office, James felt a certain satisfaction. Even with all the buzz going on about the new designer, Joshua made no efforts to try and locate her. For the past several weeks after the grand opening of the

 Imperial Gallery, James worried Joshua would find and hire Bowen. But after trailing him for the past several weeks,

 there were no such efforts made. He wasn’t even trying to locate her.

 “Oh little nephew…your arrogance will be your downfall. Even your grandmother won’t be able to save you once I sign 

 Elizabeth Bowen.”

 “You were right boss. He’s looking into her now.” 

 Joshua’s assistant Travis Cross handed him a folder filled with documents. Each containing possible information on Elizabeth Bowen. 

 “He’s probably going to try and poach her before you do in order to turn the board.” 

 Joshua smiled cooliy. He wasn’t concerned at all about his uncle poaching Elizabeth. He already knew who she was….Josie Taylor. 

 “Let him try…this should be fun.” 

 Cross smiled slightly, he knew his boss loved a good challenge. The treasure hunting game had now begun, the prize….Elizabeth Bowen.

 thing he was able to confirm was that she attended all of her therapy sessions as well as her probation appointments. He’d had one of his assistants keeping track of her until her final day of probation. Now that it was over; he had no clue where she was or WHO she was staying with.

 “Are telling me she’s fallen of the face of the earth!”

 **“N–No sir…but we can’t find her. Maybe she-” 

 “I don’t want you got damn maybes!!! Find her!” <fnc55b> ?????? ???? F?ndNovel</fnc55b>

 Christian barked his orders at his assistant before throwing him out his office. For the past several weeks his father grew concerned about Josie possibly telling others the truth on why she went to prison. Rubbing his temples, he opened up the recent files on Lawrence Tillman.

 Christian had been tracking Tillman for months; however, he always seemed to be one step ahead of him. It was almost as if someone was keeping him updated regarding Christian’s ns. Every time he would get close to his location, Tillman would move, leaving little to no traces behind. The entire ordeal was stressing Christian out. It felt as if his grip on control was slipping. To make matters worse, things at home was bing unbearable.

 As of <itely, it seemed Jamie was always busy. He knew Jamie never showed much interest in the <ipany; but he’d hoped that he would at least participate. Afterall, Jamie was now 23 years old. It was time he started pulling his weight in the family business; but whenever Christian would try and speak with him, it seemed he was only interested in what Vanessa was doing. It was like she was bing his obsession. And Vanessa, these past few months her entire demeaner changed. She went from being this carefree bubbly person to constantly looking nervous always staring at her phone. He wasn’t sure what caused the change in his siblings, but he was going to get to the bottom of it. 

 Jamie walked into his study feeling mentally exhausted. These past several months was beginning to weigh on him. He knew it would only be a matter of time before Christian learned the truth about what was going on with him 

 and Vanessa. 

 The day Vanessa met with Tillman, under suspicion, he had her followed. After seeing the photos, Jamie went into Christian’s study to lookup who Officer Tillman was. After seeing his profile picture, Jamie could no longer deny it. Vanessa was the person responsible for the abuse Josie suffered in prison. That night, after Vanessa came home, Jamie confronted her.
