Chapter 1 No.1

Beth and her girlfriend, and roommate Caitlin are in the middle of a journey across Australia, which began in Brisbane, and it will end at Caitlin parents' house in Perth. Caitlin is driving the Ford Mustang since they entered to South Australia territory; she is over thinking on how is going to tell to her parents the truth about the relationship in which she is involved for the past two years. She is terrified because her parents belong to a church that does not accept same-sex couples.

Unlike her Girlfriend, Beth is quiet; she is watching the stars through the window of the Mustang. The night sky in the middle of Australia is smog free; the stars can be seen with the naked eye. Beth smiles, and at the same time, she binds with her fingertips the stars on the surface of the window to make new constellations on her own. Beth`s blonde hair is blonder than ever, thanks to the light of the full moon that shines in the sky.

"I know what you're doing, Caitlin" Beth Said calmly.

"Huh, What?" Caitlin answered.

"You chose the road trip, because you want to delay the encounter with your parents... You are scared of them!"

"No...huh" Caitlin said.

"Yes, you are, I know you more than you know yourself"

"I really want to know Australia by road before I'm 21!"

"No, you're not. Stop lying to me! I don't like that..." Beth makes a pause, and then she says: "I mean, look at us; two lonely girls in the middle of nowhere just because you're scared of your own parents! Ridiculous! We could have taken a plane in Brisbane!"

"Ok, I'm sorry!" Caitlin replied embarrassed. She opens her hazel eyes and looks at Beth like a spoiled kitten.

"Don't look at me like that!" Beth said.

"Baby, you know them; you know that they will never be ok with us. We need to keep our relationship in secret!"

"No!" Beth answered quickly. "They deserve to know all the truth. They are your parents!"

"I hate when you act so right!"

Beth extends her hand and strokes Caitlin's hair. "Purr for me" Beth said.

"No!" Caitlin answered quickly.

"Ok, look! If they don't want to be ok with us, so be it. But, they must know the truth..."

"But, Why?! Why!?" Caitlin replied.

"Cause, I don't want to live on a lie! I don't deserve that... you don't deserve that! I want a serious relationship, a serious commitment"

"Are you serious?! You mean, like a marriage?" Caitlin asked nicely.

"I want to be with you forever" Beth answered.

"Me too"

"Stop the car! I want to kiss your right now!" Beth said.

Caitlin smiles and says: "On the next gas station, we almost out of gas!"

-----

Caitlin stops the car in a small gas station somewhere in the border between South and western territory. While the mustang is reloading with gasoline; the girls make good use of the wait; they began to kiss on hood of the car. Beth's blonde hair mixes with Caitlin's black hair in the same way that their tongues do it inside their mouths. Two employees of the gas station enjoy the scene; they look at the girl with morbid attention.

When the tank is full, Beth sits on the driver's seat, because Caitlin needs some time to rest, one employee of the station approximate to the girls to charge them for the gasoline. Beth extends her hand and gives him a 20 dollar bill.

"Keep the change, man" Beth said calmly. She stars the car.

"Wait!" He said.

"What?" Beth replied.

"What are you doing in this lonely place at this hour of the night?" He asked.

"We're going to Perth" Caitlin Answered.

"Shh!!" Beth replied violently to her girlfriend.

"What?!"

"He doesn't need to know that!!" Beth said to Caitlin.

"Oh, ok, ok... No! We're not going to Perth" Caitlin said to the man.

The employee smiles to the girls, and ask to them: "Why did you take this road? This is the longest way to go to Perth"

"Well, we..." Caitlin said.

"Well!" Beth Interrupts to Caitlin. "That does not concern to him!"

"Ok, ok" He answered "But, be careful girls, because, in this road strange things could happen"

Beth stars the car, and then she begins to nag to her girl: "You can't talk with your parents about us! But, when a strange man asks to you some personal questions you answered carefree! Amazing! "

-----

Half an hour has passed; Beth is still nagging Caitlin about what happened on the Gas station.

"Could you forget about that?" Caitlin said to Beth. "Jesus! Sometimes you are really annoying"

"Ah! So, you think I am annoying?! Huh?! "

"YEAH! Sometimes, you are a pain in my ass"

"Good to know! Good to know! " Beth said.

"I thought; the kiss will calm you for the rest of the trip, but I was wrong!"

"So, you kissed me to calm me down?!" Beth asked sarcastically.

"Yeah! Yeah! You are driving me crazy! It's been three month with the same old story: you must tell your parents the truth! Cut it off! Jesus!"

"I am tired living on a lie"

"Oh, my God" Caitlin said. She gets out of her pocket her cellphone, and says to Beth: "I will call my parents right now! To tell them the truth about us! Are you happy? Are you happy?!"

"Yes I am happy!" Beth screamed.

"I will do it, I mean it!"

"Do it, I'm watching you"

"Ok..." Caitlin dials her parent's number. Her mother answers the phone. "Hello mother... I have no time... yeah, yeah, I'm fine... you remember Beth... yeah, yeah... well, she's not only my roommate, she is my girlfriend... well... see ya!" Caitlin hangs the phone. "Are you happy now?!" She said to Beth.

"I am happy!" Beth answered defiantly.

Suddenly, Beth loses the control of the car.

"Oh my God" Beth screamed.

"What happen?"

"I can't control the car; it just turns off by itself!"

From nowhere, a little girl appears in the middle of the road. She is wearing a long white dress.

"Look out!!" Caitlin screamed, while she points out the girl with her finger.

Beth struggles violently with the rudder of the car to avoid hitting the girl. After 10 seconds, the car turns on again by itself. Beth finally can applies the brakes; the car avoids the little girl, and slowly stops on a side of a road.

Caitlin gets out of the car and runs to the girl. The little girl is about 10 or 12 years old, she's got long and straight hair and her eyes are blue.

"Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Are you ok?! Are you ok?!" Caitlin said to the little girl.

The girl is terrified.

Beth gets out of the car and runs to the little girl too.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't see you, sweetheart" Beth screamed.

"What are you doing by yourself in the middle of a lonely road?!" Caitlin asked to the girl.

The little girl, still confused, looks at the eyes of the couple of friends and whispers to them: "They are following me"

"Who is following you?" Beth and Caitlin asked at the same time.

The girl look at the sky and whispers: "They!"

Beth and Caitlin look at each other's with fear on their eyes.

"They will hurt me, and they will hurt whoever interposes on their way!" She said.

"She's frightening me" Beth whispered to Caitlin.

"Let's go to the car" Caitlin said to the girl "You will be safe with us"

"We are not safe, they will find me wherever I'll go" The girl answered.

----

Inside the car, Caitlin is sitting with the girl, while Beth is driving.

"Who are they, sweetheart?" Caitlin asked.

"They're demon... heartless demons" the girl said with tears on her eyes.

"Oh, my God..." Beth mumbled.

Caitlin strokes the girl hair. "Tell us your name, sweaty"

"I'm Lucy"

"Where are you from, Lucy?" Caitlin asked.

"I'm from a little town near from here, call: Sharp Brakes"

"I don't know that town!" Beth said, and types the name on the GPS. "There's no such thing called Sharp brakes! Look!" She shows the GPS to Caitlin.

"My town exists! Are you calling me crazy?!" Lucy screamed.

"No one here thinks that you are crazy, sweetheart" Caitlin said, and gives to Beth a bad look while she shakes her head.

"Two nights ago, they came, but something makes them run away... but tonight..." Lucy mumbled "...They returned to kidnap all the women of the town... I-I-I-I just run... I could escape after they take my mother and sister..."

"But, who the hell are they?!!" Beth asked.

"The aliens! The Grey aliens!!!" Lucy screamed to Beth.

"Oh my God" Beth mumbled.

"But, but, but... where is your father?" Caitlin asked.

"I'm almost sure that they killed all the men in Sharp Brakes, but I want to believe that some of them could be alive" Lucy said "My town is near from here, in the next exit we need to turn to the right to take an unpaved road to get there... please, take me home! I need to know if my father is still alive!"

----

One hour later, the car is parked on a side of the road, Lucy is inside of it; she is terrified, she cannot remove her eyes from the night sky looking for UFO. Beth and Caitlin are outside of it, staring at the unpaved road. The road goes right in to the dark wild.

"We just can't go this way! This is insane! I can't believe that you are actually thinking about it!" Beth said.

"You heard the girl... if we want to go to her town; we have to take this road..."

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
