Katie has a secret that she has been trying to desperately keep for years.  However, on the last night before is to leave for a prestigious internship, she spills her secret to Mike thinking that he is too drunk and won’t remember it.  Without a word, she leaves the next day and she hasn’t returned since.  That was six years ago. 
Mike also has a secret.  He wasn’t drunk that night and was just acting.  He had been acting drunk for years when the group would go out drinking together because he found Katie would talk more freely to him then.  He was so excited when she finally revealed her truth.  However, Katie left without saying anything to him and he hasn’t talk to her since.  Mike, however, won’t give up on her and has been searching for her ever since.  He won’t stop until he has found his Katie. 

Will Mike ever find her?  Does Katie have more secrets?  What is the real reason that she doesn’t come back to home?

Her Secret, the Billionaire's Heir

　　Exhaustion washes over me as I walk down the hallway towards the hospital’s staff locker rooms.  The smell of disinfecting chemicals hangs in the air, while a lingering smell of blood is stuck in my nose.  My legs wobble when I realize I still have to go home and fix supper for everyone.  This is one of those times when I wish Shane knew how to cook.  My mind wonders to the park near the house and my occasional little escapes.  I wish I could go there tonight, but I can’t.  It is already late and by the time I fix supper, it will be past Casper’s bedtime.


　　Ugh…  I drag my feet down the empty hall and into the locker room.


　　As my mind goes through the list of things I need to do, I only feel energetic enough to fix a meal tonight, and it might push me beyond my limits.  I slowly change before walking through the hospital towards the parking lot and my car.  My feet drag the entire way as if I have bricks tied to them.
