PROLOGUE

A slight shiver ran down her spine as she agonised everything she saw that September night. "I`m pregnant, Lucy." Her voice almost faint. "Who did this to you?" Lucy caressed her sister`s hair despite the hardships of her sister. Lacy sobbed while resting her head on Lucy`s shoulder. "shhh, it`s alright.. just explain to me what happened.." she tucked a strand of Lacy`s hair behind her ear. "y-you don`t wanna know.." Lucy`s hand stopped moving. They kept silent for a minute and finally she let the word run out of her mouth. "it`s Chase Taytum." A gasp escaped her mouth.

CHAPTER 1

Wakey Wakey dearest Tali… WAKE UP! WAKE UP! I remember one strange dream. It looks like I was visualizing everything again, why can`t this bullshit stop from hunting me? Over and over again. I`m like a dead corpse lying on the ground waiting for someone to give me a true love`s kiss. Oh shut up! Cut that crap already! I`m tired. You got it wrong, Taliana. No one gives a stench… a kiss. My subsconscious glaring at me with her arms folded on her chest level.

I scratched my head, just as I realized my eyes were searching for the clock. Oh shit! I`m gonna be late! How many hours have I been sleeping? I quickly grabbed my phone, letting my fingers do the job in dialing and leaned the phone close to my ear.

"Winter! What client were you talking about last night?"
"It`s not a what it`s a who, Tala. If you`re talking about a what," she paused for a second. "He`s known as the wicked rider," I butted in onto what she was saying.

"Wicked what?"
"Rider." She added.
"What`s that suppose to mean?" I held out my wrist watch and took a quick glance at the time. Holy! " I`ll text you later! I`m late!" I ended the call. Finding myself some breakfast. I rushed to the refrigerator. I was going to reach for the handle when I remembered, You`ll see nothing there. I smacked my head then reflected for a second. Just as I finished meditating I got myself up then headed to the shower room, took a shower for almost like two minutes. I can see my inner goddess stomping her feet and slowly shaking her head from left to right. What a shower.

I headed to my room then to my closet. I grabbed some Black stockings, a lavender turtleneck that`s almost going to kill me, a beige above-the-knee-fitted-skirt with many layers, and my black Janeo heels. My outfit showed my slightest curves and my bursting chest. Don`t even talk about it. My inner goddess rolled her eyes at me.

When I reached the lobby of the Espirott incorporation an old but young looking woman approached me then headed me to the director`s office. She introduced herself as Miss Smith. As soon as we arrived at the director`s area she gave me the files that I might just need. She waved her hand goodbye and made a Goodluck sign using her hand. I mouthed Thank you in return.

I kept my head low in front of the director or whoever was in that room who stood in front of me.

"Miss Maeve." I gasped trying to find his eyes, and there it is. Chase Taytum in front of Taliana Maeve who made her suffer and the one who broke her heart and scattered it into pieces.

"What are y-you doing here?" I tried to stop my feelings from showing. My inner goddess biting her lip.

"Long time no see." His scent, his brown eyes, his defensive jaws, his deep husky voice, his delicious lips, his fucked up messy hair, his seductive mischievous hands, the one that touched mine, the one that shattered my soul, and the one that broke my heart. Everything single thing that I saw was still there, fresh from my memory.

"I-Indeed, Mr. Taytum." I fixed myself then raised my chin high, in terms of pride.

He grabbed me by the arm then held me close. I feel his heavy breathing, his delicious scent filling my nostrils. He moved his other hand down to my waist and the other to my chin. He tilted my head, searching for his eyes. This man is really powerful, but Taliana look what he had done to you. I ignored my subsconscious then closed my eyes.

He leaned his face closer to mine but before his mouth reached mine, tiny little words escaped his mouth and I couldn`t make it out the words myself, I think he said, "Let`s start over," he paused. " –again."

I gasped.
