Run, Girl (If You Can)

Keeley, a simple plain Jane, hits the jackpot. [No, she did not win the lottery!] At least that's what she thinks when she marries the most eligible bachelor in New York City: Aaron, a wealthy cold-hearted heartthrob and Tycoon. She wants to show the world that she deserves her position and bends over backward to fit into his world. One beautiful day, Aaron hands her a document asking her to sign. A divorce paper... "She's pregnant, and I need to take responsibility." That is the last thing that keeps on playing in her mind before she takes her last breath. Keeley dies, a 'hit and run'. [End of story. Not!] For some unexplainable reason, she wakes up as her younger self. A young high school girl, around the time when she first meets her cheating husband. Remembering her life with Aaron before she died, she makes a promise to herself that she will do everything in her power to avoid him at all costs. Will she be able to keep her promise when Aaron has his own plans as well, specifically for her? Or will she repeat history and fall for him once more... Why not journey with me and find out the truth behind their story. *Cover art by polkadottedscrunchie*

A Few Questions

Gray was looking over a proposal for a new app one of his programmers wanted to make when the police came looking for him. They worked faster than he thought. He would have figured the corpse identification would take longer, let alone finding the phone records.

"Good morning, detectives. What can I do for you?" he asked mildly as they walked into his office and sat down after flashing their badges.

"We wanted to ask you a few questions about Lacy Knighton."

It was imperative that he kept his cool. Playing dumb was his best bet at this point.

"What about her?"

"How about we start with how you know her," the female detective said.

He shrugged. "We have a mutual friend of sorts. I recognized her while getting myself a drink at a bar sometime last April and we hit it off."
