Chapter 234

Chapter 23: When devious plans come together.

Vanessa walked proudly into HT–Corp holding a folder in her hand. The contents were filled with different blueprints and designs for houses, townhomes, and condos. Each design had a unique flare that she was sure would catch her brother’s attention. After bumping into that buffoon of a woman at that café, Vanessa told herself these documents were owed to her as payback for spilling her latte.

As she grew closer to his office, Vanessa could hear Christian speaking with someone on the phone.

“So do you have a location for him or not??”

“The Clarebelle Inn…that’s where he is now? Or where he was?”

Vanessa’s heart instantly fell; The Clarebelle Inn is where Tillman had been staying. Vanessa began to panic; how the hell did he find him so fast! Jamie had someone create a fake name, ID, and new social number for Tillman to make hiding him easier. But no matter what, it seemed Christian’s resources were better! Pulling out her cell, she immediately texted Jamie.

[Jamie I thought you said the new ID would stop Chris from finding Tillman!]

[What the hell are you talking about?]

[TILLMAN! Christian’s men located him at Clarebelle’s! I thought you said he wouldn’t be found with the new ID!]

Jamie stared at his phone with an irritated expression. It was becoming extremely costly as well as exhausting to continuously hide Tillman. Christian’s team was extremely efficient, it would only be a matter of time before they actually found him or before Christian would notice the paper trail. To make matters worse, Vanessa was becoming extremely demanding as if this whole entire thing WASN’T her fault! Jamie found himself wondering if this was how Josie felt when she went to prison in place of Vanessa.

[Hello!! Are you there?]

Jamie knew they only had one other choice.

[Vanessa…we’re going to have to tell Christian.]

Vanessa’s eyes darkened as she read the latest text from Jamie. Was he out of his fucking mind! How could she tell Christian the truth NOW! Vanessa became agitated; how hard could it be to hide someone! Taking several deep breaths as if to compose herself; Vanessa’s innocent mask slipped back on as she texted her response.

[Jamie…I think you’re right! We should definitely tell Chris. Maybe he can come up with a better plan to hide Tillman. I should never

have put this type of pressure on you in the first place.]

Jamie stared at the message for several minutes before responding. Because he was the younger brother, no one truly expected anything great from him. He’d spent his entire life living in Christian’s shadow. The only person that ever made him feel like he wasn’t just the second rated brother was Vanessa; and now she was starting to lose her faith in him too.

[That won’t be necessary….I’ll figure something out.]

A devious grinned spread across Vanessa’s face. She knew throwing Christian in Jamie’s face would make him reconsider. She’d known for a long time that Jamie was inferior to Christian. Over the years, she’d used his inferiority to her advantage.

[Whatever you think is best big brother! I trust you! I’m about to head into Chris‘ office to show him my latest sketches.]

[good luck! I know they’re beautiful! Don’t worry about Tillman, I’ll take care of everything.]

[ I love you!!!]

[Love you too little sister!]

Vanessa turned eagerly towards Christian’s office; it was time to solidify her role as heiress and head of the Designing department.

Knock. Knock.

Vanessa gently knocked on Christian’s door just as he was finishing up his call.

“Come in.”

“Hey big brother…got a minute.”

Vanessa poked her head through the door sporting her shy and most innocent look.

“Of course. Come on in.”

Vanessa took a seat at Christian’s desk as she feigned nervousness while holding two of the six sketches she’d stolen from the girl at the café.

“What can I do you
