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

　　I drag my feet into the house.  A sense of relief washes over me.  I’m finally home.


　　The image of my family in the hospital flashes through my mind, and guilt washes over me.  I mentally chant to myself that they were in the wrong, not me.


　　I take a moment, even though I had just sat in my car for several minutes trying to clear my mind and it hasn’t worked.


　　The smell of food drifts through the air and pulls me towards the kitchen.  Casper’s usual giggles are usually absent.


　　I glance down at my watch.  Shoot.  It is much later than I realized it is.  Everyone must have eaten, and Casper should be in bed already.


　　My heart twists.  I don’t get to tuck him in, but this isn’t the first time.  It is only the first time since we moved here.


　　I take a deep breath and fill my lungs with the faint smell of food.


　　As I approach the kitchen, I call out, “What is that delicious smell?  Did you cook something again for supper?”
