Becoming Strangers Again by Lily

MAYA

It is all over the news that Ryan William's children are missing. They went as far as placing a reward on their head for anyone who provided meaningful information that could be used to find them.

I hope this Clover guy hides them well. He should make sure that the boys never return to their families. Maybe he can start by killing one of them and sending the body home, that way, they can be so distrustful and maybe lose it mentally.

My phone vibrated on the table, pulling my attention away from my thoughts. I reached for my phone and rolled my eyes when I saw her number.

Of course, she is going to call me, I have been waiting for her call for a very long time. Reaching for the phone, I swiped the receiver button and placed the phone to my ear.

"Do you have any good news for me Kerry?" I asked, lifting my fake nails and inspecting it.

"Ryan has not been coming to work."

I froze, sitting upright. She is his secretary, if she says he has not been coming to work, then that is the truth. "How long has he been absent from the office?"

"Two weeks," Kerry replied. "I have not seen him in person since his kids went missing, and I have been the one venting the documents, declining the ones I find unnecessary and forwarding the important ones to him."

If he is distracted enough by the whole thing not to show up at the office, then that means he won't be paying much mind to the documents he is signing, so this will be the perfect time to slip something else into the stack of important documents for him to sign. Things wouldn't have gotten this far had he just given me the estate and let me be.

"I will be sending you some documents that you will slip into the next stack of documents that you will send to him. Make sure he signs them and sends them back to me."
