I do not own the secret life.

Hey guy's I was just trying something different let me know what you all think and should I continue with this story.

My heart left my chest as I ran through the alley of tight buildings, I was running out of time and I knew I had to think of a plan quick. I dug around in my pocket once more only to come up empty handed. I dash behind a dumpster as I stumbled to catch my breath. I heard footsteps approaching as I braced myself for the worse.

"Where the fuck did he go," I heard one say as he turned around in circles.

"The only way he could go is that way," The other man said pointing in the original direction the men were headed. "Come on," one of the man said hitting the other's chest as they began to run.

I felt an automatic relief as they disappeared from my view. I looked down at the bag in my hands that held the 250,000 dollars. I couldn't believe I had done it, I had finally hit big and this was only the beginning.

That was seven years ago I was only 16 at the time but I had the mind of a 60 year old. I had seen and done things many won't believe. But I only did these things to get to where I needed to be. You see I've been on my own since I was 9 years old. I had no one but myself to rely on so I had to survive right, and I would do anything necessary to. At the age of 23 I had done well for myself, I had invested in many things and owned a lot of businesses. I have a beautiful wife, who I met when I was 19 years old. She was somewhat like me I guess you can say that's what attracted me to her. She was a go getter never letting anything or anyone getting in the way, I loved that about her. She knows a lot about my organizations but only what she needs to know. I always say a man's business is no place for a woman, the little they know the better.

"So are we going shopping in New York this weekend," My wife Piper said she through her arms around my shoulders.

"I don't know if I can make it babe you might just have to go without me," I said not once looking up from the calculator that I plug numbers into.

"But Ricky you promised me you said this same things last time," She said letting go of my shoulders now sitting slightly on my desk. "When are we going to spend some quality time together?"

"I know and I'm sorry it's just this month has been real hectic for me, But I promise you soon, ok?" I said as I touch the side of her face, I could see the hurt in those pretty brown eyes.

"Ok, she said forcing a smile as she stood up. " I want to take the jet," She informed me on her way leaving out the door.

"Hold on, you need to take someone with you?" I said in a serious tone.

"Ok I'll call Adrian," She said smiling as she made her way out my office.

Piper was my heart, I would do anything for her and as her husband it was my duty to protect her. She was strong independent women but sometimes she was so naïve, and being married to a man like me being naïve wouldn't get you very far. My thoughts were then interrupted by the buzzing of my phone that lay on my desk. I felt an instant rush as I seen the name come across the screen.

"Hello," I said as I answered the phone.

"I miss you already," She said as she giggled.

"Really, or are you just trying to make me feel good," I said standing up and walking over to close the door. I then loosened my tie as I leaned against the wall.

"No I miss you badly, what are we doing this weekend?"

"It's whatever you want to do sunshine; I just want to be with you Amy."

"Awe you're so good to me, how could I get so lucky,"

"I wouldn't call it luck, I have always been a man who gets what he wants, and you happen to be one of those wants." I said as I ran my hand across the back of my neck.

"Really," I heard her say as she burst into laughter

"Really, "I said as I join her in laughter. "

"But I have to go alright; I will be over there soon."

"Ok I'll be waiting."

I hung up my phone as I sat down in my chair. I wasn't a man who cheated on his wife. But it was something about Amy that I couldn't resist she was as pure as a white rose, and as sweet as a plum. She is something I can escape to, she didn't have the title of being my wife, but she was also something I held close to my heart, she was my mistress.
