《Hiding Places ✅》28
Advertisement
A week has passed since my father showed up at Cameron's house. I moved in with Cameron two days ago and Brayden took my place with Bas. I have been filling my time with work, work and more work anything to take my mind off the fact that my family is turning out to be completely different than I thought. Hiding. We were good at that. Mum was so good that she was able to fake her death. I'll never understand why.
"Honey do you want another?" Bas's voice breaks me from my thoughts. I have fifteen minutes before I need to meet Carter at the High Street project. I told Bas I would meet him in the common for a coffee but that was all the time I could spare. The truth is I am still a little unsure how to talk about it all. "Honey?"
"Uh...yes thanks Bas."
Bas signals for the waitress and turns back to me, "What are you thinking?"
"Just about my crazy life" I answer with a laugh.
Bas orders another latte for me and flat white for him and the waitress heads back to the counter. "We are having dinner with them tonight. Me, Brooke and Brayden. You could come. With Cameron. If you want."
"Thanks for the offer but -"
"No?"
"I'm sorry Bas."
"I know it might seem like a kids dream Honey but we have a chance to be a family again." I roll my eyes but Bas continues, "Dad said he stopped by and saw you."
"Yes he did. He accused me of hurting his wife. He doesn't care about us Bas. He doesn't know us."
"Let him in and maybe he would."
"He lost the right to know us when he left us" I check my watch as the waitress brings my latte. "Sorry can I have that to go?" I ask her and I receive a glare. Sorry bitch! "I have to go Bas. I have a meeting. Enjoy your dinner."

"Honey..."
The waitress returns with my coffee in a 'to go' cup and I kiss my brother's cheek before exiting the cafe. My phone rings in bag and I quickly press it to my ear.
"Genevieve Reynolds."
"Hi Honey it's Carter are you on your way?"
"Yes. Sorry I was with my brother. Just leaving now I'm about to call my driver."
"Driver? Really?"
"Are you seriously asking Carter? Come on you know who my boyfriend is."
"Did you just roll your eyes Miss Reynolds?"
"You know me well. I'l see you soon Carter."
"Counting the minutes Honey" He is a shameless flirt.
We hang up and I type out a message to John letting him know I'm ready. As I press send a black SUV appears in front of me. I don't take much notice of the car until a voice says my name. My head snaps towards the car and a large man dressed in black swings the back door open. Before I realise what is happening I'm in the back of the car. I try to struggle but the large man holds my hands behind my back. The doors shut and the car starts to move.
"What the hell is going on?" I manage to croak out but I can feel myself shaking.
A man in a navy suit turns in the front passenger suit so he is facing me. His eyes are dark they almost look black. He has brown hair that is cut short and is wearing a smirk.
"Hello Miss Reynolds" his voice is smooth, "I've been wanting to meet you for a while."
"You know me?"
"Better than you realise" his smirk is off putting.
"Then you would know who my boyfriend is. He will -"

"Cameron Cunningham does not scare me Miss Reynolds. He is nothing more than a billionaire playboy. You are worth more."
"I don't understand."
"You will..." the man says with a shrug. He nods at the large man next to me and everything goes dark...
"Miss Reynolds was not where she said she would be. She told me to collect her but she is no where to be found."
"No where?" I bark into the phone. Did Genevieve give John the slip again? "Find her!" I hang up with out waiting for a response. Second later my phone rings again. An unknown number. I press it my ear. "Cunningham."
"Cameron it's Carter. Honey was supposed to meet me at the High Street project -"
"I'm aware."
"She hasn't shown up. It has been an hour since I spoke to her. She said she was at the common and on her way."
"What else did she say?'
"Just that she was having coffee with her brother. She told me to hang up so she could call her driver. I assumed she would be here in fifteen minutes tops but it has been an hour."
Genevieve where are you? "Thank you for your information Carter. Please let me know if you hear from her."
"Wait what is going on Cameron? Where is she? Where's Honey?"
"Genevieve appears to be missing" I say as calmly as possible. I'm not calm someone has what is mine!
"Missing? What the fuck Cameron? I knew she wasn't safe with you!"
"Mind your place Wells. Genevieve is mine and I will find her." I hang up again not waiting for a response. I'm sick of incompetent people.
I dial Genevieve's number but my call goes straight to voicemail. Again and again my calls go unanswered instead I hear Genevieve's voice.
"Hi it's Honey or Genevieve I'll answer to both. I can't take your call at the moment. If your call is urgent please try my office number and my assistant will be able to help. If this is Bas I'm not answering till you admit I'm the better twin! Anyways leave me a message or send me a text... or hey, call back later!"
Her message is unorthodox and not very professional but it is very Genevieve, very Honey.
I walk out of my office throwing the doors open. My new assistant falls over herself trying to follow me. I head straight to Genevieve's office. Caleb stands as I get close.
"Uh Mr C-Cunningham sir. Honey... Sorry I mean Miss R-Reynolds is at a meeting with -"
"She never arrived."
"W-What?"
"If she calls tell me immediately."
"Yes sir."
"You have my direct number."
Caleb nods, "Honey put it in my phone sir."
"Good."
Turning on my heels I head straight for the lift. The door click open as I reach it and I step straight in. Once in the car park I swing my leg over onto my bike. I pull on my helmet and start the bike.
I'll find you Genevieve. You can't hide from me....
