INSTANT ATTRACTIONS:

Ashley Marin's death has been all anyone's talked about for months. The cause of death still remains a mystery.

Several years pass by, yet Wilden hasn't given up on Ashley's case yet. He loves her, or at least he used to. They dated briefly, much to Byron's dismay. Wilden remembers when they were once in a heated argument:

"You leave my woman alone, understand?" Wilden yelled. It was a cool summer night, and they were in Wilden's apartment. "Or I'll have to cut a bitch."

"Darren, you heartless imbecile. You'll never get away with it."

"Watch me. You'll be dead so fast, Byron," Wilden threatened. Byron put his head in his hands and dropped helplessly to the ground.

"Y-You don't understand, Darren. I love Ashley with everything I am, and everything I'll ever be." Tears streamed down Byron's neatly groomed face. "And we'll never give up on each other. There's nothing you can do that will change that." Wilden laughed wickedly.

"Ashley is obviously over you. She's moved on." Wilden placed his hands on his hips. "It's just too bad that you're not enough of a man to do the same."

"You're pathetic, Darren. Why would she ever want you?"

"Oh, I don't know..." Wilden rolled up his sleeve and began flexing. Byron rolled his eyes.

"It's what's on the inside that counts," Byron said, shaking his head.

"If you're going to feed me shit, then you might as well get a dog," Wilden told him.

"That doesn't even make sense!"

"Sure it does. Ashley would understand..."

"THAT'S IT!" Byron got up, and pinned Wilden up against the cold brick wall. "I CAN TELL THAT YOU DON'T LOVE ASHLEY. YOU'RE ONLY IN IT FOR THE SEX, AREN'T YOU?!" Byron slapped him across the face.

"That's part of it," Wilden whimpered, barely able to remain conscious. Byron punched him in the stomach.

"Stay away from her, Darren," Byron whispered through clenched teeth. "Got it?" Wilden nodded miserably. Hesitantly, Byron let go and Wilden collapsed, panting. Byron grabbed his jacket and promptly left the apartment.

Wilden sighs to himself, and pushes his seemingly endless stack paperwork to the side. He's so exhausted, and all he's wanted to do for the past three years was to quit looking for whatever killed Ashley Marin. But then he remembers, that he's doing it for her, and he keeps going, holding his head up high.

Ever since Wilden first laid his eyes on the beautiful Ashley Marin, he knew that he was in love with her. He absolutely loved the way her ruby-colored hair cascaded down her back in wavy tassels. He always stared into her heavenly, azure eyes, wondering if she could get any more beautiful. He wanted to be with her, forever and always, never to part. But then there was her ex-boyfriend, Byron Montgomery. Such an arrogant man... So jealous. He wanted Ashley for himself, but Wilden vowed to make sure that that would never happen.

Darren Wilden would do anything to get rid of Byron Montgomery.
