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*

All He Really Knew

Aaron couldn't help but commend himself on his acting skills. Gray seemed utterly unsuspicious about where the evidence against him came from. He wouldn't have acted the way he did on the phone otherwise.

He and Keeley had discussed this possibility. As a worst case scenario, even if a good lawyer managed to reduce his sentence, there was no way Gray would be able to get off completely. Not being found near the scene of the crime without a valid alibi anymore.

He sincerely hoped the police would be able to prove it had been premeditated. Then Gray would be out of their hair for a minimum of twenty years. After that…well, they would cross that bridge when they got to it.

He had already contacted Neal Ashley and told him the simple version of the situation. It wouldn't do for the lawyer to know more than Aaron supposedly did when he showed up at the precinct. He passed on exactly what Gray had said over the phone and nothing more.
