It all begins with one accident. The guilt of a mother traps the soul of a young on this plane, and she, along with other victims must face the wrath of a corrupted Adam. Their only chance of survival being a priest who specializes in 'Exorcism'. After all, what time is as cherished as the one spent with family?

Chapter 1 PROLOGUE

Nine o'clock, and the eight year old adjusted his glasses.

"Dad, could you slow down a bit?"

"Relax Junior, you know we've got to make it back to Green Hills before dinner, we wouldn't want to extend curfew. And besides, Max is home all alone."

"I know but, aren't you driving too fast? I'm getting scared."

"Kiddo..."

"Drive Hal, I'll handle this."

"Sure honey," Hal shrugged with his hands fixed firmly on the steering. "Whatever you say."

"Adam?" Susan called from the seat in front.

"Yes mom?"

"Can you guess what I see?"

"Not really." The lad replied.

"You trust mom, right?" She went on.

"Well, yeah."

"Look out the window.."

The boy unbuckled the belt that held him and stuck out his head through the open window on his left.

"Now what do you see?"

"The stars?"

"Adam, how about you pick one." She said.

"Hmm, I choose...that one, on the right-up ahead!" He pointed up. "It's the brightest."

"Now that's what I'm talking about," Hal remarked in his usual enthusiastic manner. "Kent style!"

"The brightest huh, you're sure you like it?"

"Uh-huh."

"Then it's yours." She said.

"Really?" He beamed.

"Of course." Susan affirmed.

"Hold on a sec, since we're picking stars now, I want mine too." Hal put in.

"You don't get to pick sweetheart," Susan reproached in a tease. "Eyes on the road."

"Nah I want to pick." Hal said, sticking his head out of the window.

Engrossed in the moment, he failed to realize they were approaching a railway.

"Hal!" Susan screamed, calling his attention.

It was too late, a train speeding from the left knocked off their vehicle.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan
5.0

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
