‘I have a demon that no one knows of, I could show it to you but you’ll be scared to death.
There’s a devil in me. He knows my secrets, my past…’

A tall, handsome man stared at the window from where he wrote the note, sipping on his usual bland coffee. He caught sight of the ‘morning jog girl’. He sipped more as her hair flared in the wind till she was out of sight.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwRIlW1pt2
This is the third time he's seen her from the window and he got familiar with her face. She would usually run by just like she just did, but this time was different, she ran back and waved at him.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVXPkEpe1M
“Oh shit!” he had spilled coffee on his body.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLilCwcmzp
A chuckle left her lips. She smiled and took off again.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC1eMjwfGe
By the time he had finished cleaning it up and staring back at the window, she was gone.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJJXQ6Vpwa
‘How did she know I’ve been staring at her all the time?” he wondered. ‘Was it that obvious?’
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB0wy6ZFsq
The next thing he knew, the sound of the doorbell rang. He quickly pulled out of his thoughts and rushed to get the door. He was stunned when he saw who it was.
The girl’s smile broadened as she stared at his amazing features. “I’m Gabriella. Gabriella Montes. Mexican and American, what about you?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhvDhsN8lH
“Me… me… Um…” he cleared his throat, trying to stop stuttering. “Maxwell Grey.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3srgxXBJdP
“Why does this feel like I’m Anastasia Steele and you’re Christian Grey?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyM18H7RKb
He smirked. “Deja vu shit.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9cS0LOoo4
“Certainly. Don’t tell me you’re a billionaire or I’ll lose my mind.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ125uRXfdLS
“Which billionaire lives in a small crib that’s quite a lot of fortune? Yeah, that’s me.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqi13Jsc3i
“Are you sure this isn’t a reboot?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepEZGfgrmG
“Certainly not the same story.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2so5Yy4UXt
“I hope so.” she wiped off the sweat on her forehead.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOILMLNzHv
“Did you have guessed I was staring all this while?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27yKoqqbZ8
“Definitely not. I was just doing all that on purpose. I actually wanted to catch your attention. Luckily, I did.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZvwrY3jTt
“So you were like ‘Gosh, can this billionaire just notice me’.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMtNcpvTI7
“Yeah.” she bit her lips and said shyly. “Can I come in?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEEJdOjGb2
“Sure. I can get you a glass of water if you want.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvKGlyyKI9
“Are you trying to drug me?” She took a step back from the entrance.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7gLCV6jbK
“Why didn’t you think of that before you showed up at my door and requested to come in?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90Yd0uC4UP
“Just checking.” she took in a deep breath and walked in, her eyes taking a fill of the magnificent place. “I would gladly have your baby.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR6dGAtBCj
“I hate kids,” he said coldly, his expression darkening. “What if I’m a serial killer, don’t you watch murder movies?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBBffDaxSF
“You don’t strike me as such. But if you are, then I’m probably dead.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzOqydNdjy
“Just pulling your legs.” his expression brightened and he headed for the kitchen, coming back seconds later.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX9CznjKsN
“May I know why you don’t like kids?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6NncFKogz
“I’m not just ready to have one. You know… being responsible for somebody else, changing into a perfect example for your kids to imitate… I’ll pass on that.” he handed her the glass. “What made you show up at my door unexpectedly?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyifJoBYRK1
“Dick.” she gulped down the water and watched his reaction.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQdYPpNMCw
He smiled smugly. “Take off your clothes and get on your knees!” He said it like a real dominant.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDxQXzyXk4
“I was just pulling your legs. I’m not that type of girl.” she clarified. “I moved in four days ago so I just wanted to get to know my neighbors.” She stood up and handed him back the glass. “Thanks for the water. It was thoughtful.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ghXk7twZR
“Glad I’ll be seeing you around.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtos5LNvdzw
“Yeah, me too. Just a block away.” she squeezed her face. “I guess this is the last time you see me jog. I was so shy to meet you, and I had expected the worst scenario. I thought you might be some kind of arrogant guy.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmHB6SPfYX
“You don’t strike me as shy. I mean, I could bet that you’re flirting with me.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1T33Nrmk8
“Hell no. I haven’t asked for your number yet.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k2Qq115Mt
“+12064512559.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwF7pklBB0
“I don’t need it.” she chuckled nervously.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfMPca2bM8
“But what if you do?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEWotkrosl
“What could I possibly need your help for?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97kxiQlENX
“To help set up your condo, I can also do menial jobs like plumbing, or even sexting.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7UUuOQuN5
“I’ll see if I need your help for anything and I could always show up when you’re around. Like on a sunday, just like now. And for the sexting, why do I feel like you’re making a move on me?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeyUlyGpSB
“Cause I am.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt6O7WcTki
“And there you go, admitting it.” she muttered. “I didn’t intend on staying long so I’ll just go check up on our neighbors down the street.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKls7FfyzQ
“To save you the stress, I’ll just organize a party tonight, and then you’ll get to know everybody.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRLjsFDCls
“So you know everyone.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DMNvbHaqG
“Yeah. The bis, the lesbians, the gays, the blacks, the asians, the Italians and other foreigners. There are a whole lot in this estate.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCv54LIdGG
“Sounds interesting. I love gay guys, they’re usually funny and talk a whole lot.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVcJpYkt92
“That’s your stereotype of them.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXcmuXWMao
“But it’s true. Like ninety percent. Unless those that haven’t come out.” she fell back on the sofa.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC3GuFhfVe
“I guess you win.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcuUN6rXm4
“I always win.” she smiled. “So what would we be making?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrijj2wQ1D
“I’ll order something.”
“Too bad, that’s why I sat back, now I’ll just have to get going again. By what time should I be here at night?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRSUf77C7t
“Do you really want to leave without giving me your number? Since you aren’t going to be the ‘morning jog girl’, would you only want to show up on a Sunday?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvwE82ve56
She stood up again. “Just give me the time, you don’t really have to text me.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA77R1Y9rq
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TFwtrUvvK
“What?” she was thrown off by the question. She wanted to ignore the question, or better still leave his house, but she decided to lie. “I do. You met him seven years ago, don’t you remember?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI7AvpLmng
“I don’t even remember meeting you, what are you saying? How can you even date for seven years, no marriage.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpafU6KCQCy
“Just pulling your legs.” she smirked. “Are you usually this polite and kind of flirtatious?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl1ZkUYNNM
“I didn’t really want to flirt, but it’s kind of working, I guess. And why should I be rude to a girl?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4MAozd2Fx
“I wouldn’t say it isn’t working. Just checking, Mr. Maxwell Grey. That’s the name, right?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU07bbHEWrg
“That’s right, Miss Gabriella Montes.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RNg5uaMSq
She chuckled softly and left. As soon as she was out of the condo, she pulled out her phone and put a call across.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnAe38e4RE
“How did it go?” a woman’s voice sounded across the line.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8GaodpGiZ
“The devil that ruined my life didn’t remember me from the past, so it went well.” a smirk plastered on her face.
