Chapter 1 RUN AWAY

April Greene glanced through the mirror and stared at her reflection. She was already dressed for another interview today. It was really difficult for her to get a job, it was not as if she was lacking, infact she had a perfect resume coupled with her good grades yet she had been unable to get a job. Despite having a perfect resume, she still got rejected.

She looked at the bracelet on her hand before taking a deep breathe to prepare herself. She tied her hair into a ponytail, took her bag and left the house. The day was bright and clear. 'Maybe today is a good day for me.' She thought. She brought out her phone when she heard it ring. It was her best friend calling,she smiled as she picked the call.

"Ready for today's interview?" Mandy asked.

"Yes." She knew the reason Mandy called, to assure her that she would pass today's interview.

"Do you remember what the fortune teller said yesterday? He said today was your lucky day so that means you will definitely get a job today so don't be nervous and just give it your best, huh?" Mandy said reminding her friend about what the fortune teller had foreseen.

"He better be right, i paid two hundred dollar to that man all because you forced me to." April had never for once believed in fortune telling neither did she believe in fantasy nor anything supernatural. She believed they were all lies fabricated to deceive mankind. Her bestfriend had dragged her to a fortune telling house to foresee her future and the said fortune teller had told them that she would get a job today.

"He has never been wrong. Don't worry, I'll buy you chicken and beer to celebrate your new job, okay?" Mandy quickly retorted,knowing her bestfriend didn't believe in all these things, she had to force her to the fortune telling house because they also foresaw that she would get a job and here she was working in one of the prestigious company in the country, she just wanted to help her bestfriend's predicament.

"I'll call you later, my boss is coming." Mandy said before ending the call.

April dropped her phone in her pocket and continue walking but then stopped when she felt she was being followed. She looked back to see who was following her but didn't see anyone. She brushed it off and thought it was probably just her imagination. Who would actually be stalking her? She was penniless at the moment that she couldn't even afford to take a taxi.

When she got to the bus junction, it was just she and an old woman at the junction. The first bus had gone so she had to wait for the next bus heading to her destination.

"You have a beautiful bracelet." The old woman commented staring at the bracelet.

April smiled as she was reminded of her Grandma. This bracelet was a gift from her Grandma before she passed on. Her late grandma made her promise not to take off the bracelet due to a specific reason.

"Run away." The woman suddenly spoke in a low tone that was audible enough for April to hear what she said.

April looked at the Granny,confused by what she had just heard but before she could even react, the old woman gripped her hand.

"When the demon shall come, he's coming to kill you. The man with red eyes is coming to kill you, you need to run away, run away before he kills you."

April stood still, too shocked to even react and too confused that her brain was unable to comprehend what she had just uttered. Despite April not saying a word, the Granny still kept on repeating the same words. "Run away...........RUN AWAY!"

He has all the traits that you wished for your dream man to have. Power, money, perfection, handsomeness and a body like a Greek God. But he's inlove. He's inlove with her. For him, she was the completion of his dream, a perfect wife and a mother to be with his children. He would give her everything including his own life. He would sacrifice his world for her. But she left him. She betrayed him. She broke his heart into pieces. And he turned into a cold, heartless, rude and an arrogant billionaire, who would do everything to show her that she's no longer important into his life. Even though the truth is the opposite of what he is doing. His heart still aching for her. And that's when he met me. I applied as his Personal Assistant to fulfill my bucket list of dreams. To explore my life and experience everything. He offered me a deal. He asked me to marry him just to show his ex that he already moved on. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "She's pregnant." He blurted out and i almost stumbled on where i am standing. I just gripped the backrest of the couch to support my weight. The pain creeping in my heart is unbearable but i managed to stay calm. "Wow! Congratulations!" I said faking my excitement as i remembered him saying... -cheating would not be the reason to break our marriage- of course i couldn't accuse him of this as 'cheating' because she was the real reason why we are pretending as a couple. He still love her. He's still inlove with her. And that's when i made the biggest decision in my life. Taking all my strength and a piece of my heart that still hanging on a thin rope... I left him. Taking also my biggest secret in me... that i've already fallen inlove with him. And somehow i learned a lesson; 'Loving someone who doesn't love you back isn't as hard as loving someone who still inlove with his ex and who only uses you to get her back again into his life..'
