Illusions: a Prequel Novella to Mirage
“I look around at a sea of mostly familiar faces in the midst of yet another charity event hosted by people who have way too much money. Perhaps, if donating the five thousand per plate meal ticket went directly to the charity, nights like these wouldn’t be necessary. It just seems so insincere, another excuse for the wealthy to get together, to see and be seen, and I play along because my illegal company is hidden behind what appears to be a thriving legal one.
Thank goodness the champagne is f...lowing freely, I think to myself as I grab another glass from a server passing by. I look at my assistant, Ivy, who looks equally as bored as I am. Leaning in, I whisper in her ear.
“Thanks for coming tonight. I couldn’t do another one of these alone.”
She gives me a smile in response. Ivy has been working with me from almost the beginning because finding people who I trust is difficult. Sure, they all sign NDAs, but Ivy is one of the few who I naturally trust. It’s been my experience that most people are not good; given the chance, they will hurt you at every turn, do what they have to do to get ahead in life, and not care about the carnage they leave behind.MoreLess
