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*

Plausible Deniability

Keeley was surprised Aaron was so upset by this considering how much he hated the woman. He was more upset than she was and usually she was the more forgiving one between the two of them.

"You...aren't actually missing her, are you?"

Alarm flashed across his face. "Are you crazy?! I've wished she was dead more times than I can count but I never did anything because of you!"

"Me?" she asked in surprise.

Aaron coughed, a bit embarrassed. "I didn't think you would ever forgive me if I killed someone. Because you're a good person."

Despite herself, she smiled slightly. He gave her too much credit considering she was happy that horrid woman was dead. But it would take a special kind of person to feel sorry that the one who ordered them killed had died.

"Then what are you stressed out about?"

"…because now there are possibly two murderers I'm related to. And one of them has been to our house! What happens if we piss him off?"
