"You knew this was coming. I told you," I said, slowly stepping backwards toward the door."I didn't think you were serious!" Charlotte gasped, standing abruptly from her chair. I shrug. "Goodbye" I whisper. She left. "Hello again." I smile rougishly at them. Now she's back.

Chapter start.

Chapter 1- prologue.

Secretive POV.

I picked the phone up off its cradle, which was standing on the wooden oak table in the hallway. I crept over to the stairs and silently made my way along the deserted corridor and into my bedroom.

Dialling the number from memory, I pressed the phone to my ear and held my breath, praying for an answer.

"Hello, how may I help, Linda speaking?" A cheerful voice asked.

I swallowed past the tightness in my throat and took a deep breath. "Hello, I was calling to enquire about the space left at your business?"

"Yes, what about it?" the receptionist asked in the same cheerful tone.

"I was just curious to whether it was still available?" I asked, training my voice into a calm and business like tone.

"It is still free, yes. Are you interested?" The receptionist, Linda, started moving papers as the rustling sound drifted through the phone.

"Yes, is it possible if I could take that place?" I crossed my fingers, praying for a 'yes'.

"Of course you can." Linda seemed delighted. "I just need a bit of background information about your situation and about yourself and then we can arrange to get you here."

"Okay." I sighed in relief. This was going to work after all.

Chapter end!
