Alexa Thompson
Prologue
Hayden Williams would never forget the next few minutes, for they would be the most sensational and spellbinding moments of his life. He practiced his smile for the fiftieth time and stuck his head out the passenger window of a sparkling black limousine. "Miss Alexa Thompson?"
A woman standing outside the Four Seasons hotel lobby nodded. "Yes?"
"I'm at your service," Williams announced. "Compliments of Mr. Lewis."
Alexa's jaw dropped. "For me? Matt did this all for me?"
"Booked and paid for the night," Williams said, and winked.
A bright smile lit up Alexa's face as she hopped into the fabulous stretch. Inside were luscious leather seats, a frosted white bar with crystal glasses, and warm glowing lights. There was even Chardonnay on ice.
"Where're we heading driver?"
"It's a surprise," Williams explains with a rueful laugh, "I'm sure you know how Mr. Lewis can be with the love of his life."
He glanced into the mirror and saw Alexa with a crimson red blush adorning her beautiful face. She was perfect, even better than he had hoped.
The road became bumpy and the limo slowly made its way up a steep hill. "I hope you don't mind, I thought I'd take you the scenic way, some of the best views in San Francisco."
"Ooo," laughed Alexa. "Very fancy."
"Help yourself to a drink. Put on some music, chill, relax and do whatever."
Williams pushed a button, and a thin band of pulsing lights began to shoot around the roof of the back compartment, a soft light show.
As he drove, his nerves grew more taunt and excited. His heart thudded and thumped as he heard the clink of glasses and Alexa down the Chardonnay. Just a few more seconds, and she will be all mine.
"You know, Miss Thompson?" Williams said with a sigh. "I have just one more surprise for you."
"Oh, yeah," Alexa smiled. "What's that?"
The limousine slowly came to a stop, and Williams fumbled in the glove compartment.
"This."
Williams turned and plunged a knife deeply into Alexa Thompson. Her eyes flickered like a weak electric bulb. A deathly rattle shot through her. "Why?" Her eyes screamed. "Why?"
A/N: I know it's short, but it's a prologue, I promise the real chapters will be longer. Hope you guys liked it.
