‘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.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRy0bndN3r
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.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDZQGSUKqn
“Oh shit!” he had spilled coffee on his body.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xpdsJmXFX
A chuckle left her lips. She smiled and took off again.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIHNKz9VTJ
By the time he had finished cleaning it up and staring back at the window, she was gone.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBwo5dEI7r
‘How did she know I’ve been staring at her all the time?” he wondered. ‘Was it that obvious?’
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZOReowCWX
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?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT8T8j5dVg
“Me… me… Um…” he cleared his throat, trying to stop stuttering. “Maxwell Grey.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FN2Re5nwM
“Why does this feel like I’m Anastasia Steele and you’re Christian Grey?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhGL2aURGp
He smirked. “Deja vu shit.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxD2JBn8kq
“Certainly. Don’t tell me you’re a billionaire or I’ll lose my mind.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMvvZ8pUSw
“Which billionaire lives in a small crib that’s quite a lot of fortune? Yeah, that’s me.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1TLAXw5FN
“Are you sure this isn’t a reboot?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27BqLTZsRP
“Certainly not the same story.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpzrJMZWfB
“I hope so.” she wiped off the sweat on her forehead.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqmDX2idMe
“Did you have guessed I was staring all this while?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8eJBKikzY
“Definitely not. I was just doing all that on purpose. I actually wanted to catch your attention. Luckily, I did.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYAmcDwUe7
“So you were like ‘Gosh, can this billionaire just notice me’.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bcUuWbN4J
“Yeah.” she bit her lips and said shyly. “Can I come in?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0TLcQxTlf
“Sure. I can get you a glass of water if you want.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEgsNsc9sQ
“Are you trying to drug me?” She took a step back from the entrance.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxubFn11fHm
“Why didn’t you think of that before you showed up at my door and requested to come in?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU1rPeGpiG
“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.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT0iSZ4r80
“I hate kids,” he said coldly, his expression darkening. “What if I’m a serial killer, don’t you watch murder movies?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7WM1SIQX5
“You don’t strike me as such. But if you are, then I’m probably dead.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e0sGWSUkj
“Just pulling your legs.” his expression brightened and he headed for the kitchen, coming back seconds later.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uy6uTbjQi
“May I know why you don’t like kids?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5buOxb5neX
“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?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAamDVPV8XL
“Dick.” she gulped down the water and watched his reaction.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguLI2sflhh
He smiled smugly. “Take off your clothes and get on your knees!” He said it like a real dominant.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2hMpIm3VF
“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.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVDyAfuwWi
“Glad I’ll be seeing you around.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB0YsivyGq
“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.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0aEusaQ81
“You don’t strike me as shy. I mean, I could bet that you’re flirting with me.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw3vyQeKEw
“Hell no. I haven’t asked for your number yet.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlAJL3G6mJ
“+12064512559.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIo15V8IAH
“I don’t need it.” she chuckled nervously.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRVbAlbvMb
“But what if you do?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaHnML4T22
“What could I possibly need your help for?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLbdoWCoD0
“To help set up your condo, I can also do menial jobs like plumbing, or even sexting.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxc6PCBk0c
“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?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvMbqgkcMQ
“Cause I am.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGNWmD7g7U
“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.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6HiBWb62O
“To save you the stress, I’ll just organize a party tonight, and then you’ll get to know everybody.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxFO32LxXj
“So you know everyone.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN6fRCwXKJ
“Yeah. The bis, the lesbians, the gays, the blacks, the asians, the Italians and other foreigners. There are a whole lot in this estate.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwJMdgxrqg
“Sounds interesting. I love gay guys, they’re usually funny and talk a whole lot.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs9utSTQXG
“That’s your stereotype of them.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOrpVjXvWk
“But it’s true. Like ninety percent. Unless those that haven’t come out.” she fell back on the sofa.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafWA5pl5cz
“I guess you win.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvLDE1MWGW
“I always win.” she smiled. “So what would we be making?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa7ioBFUpc
“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?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRnk7fATVe
“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?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k2F8FKNHp
She stood up again. “Just give me the time, you don’t really have to text me.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGgtA1wgXA
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqwStrqYCB
“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?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft3fDnEVgt
“I don’t even remember meeting you, what are you saying? How can you even date for seven years, no marriage.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuv9fvGQoo
“Just pulling your legs.” she smirked. “Are you usually this polite and kind of flirtatious?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxpGO0P5if
“I didn’t really want to flirt, but it’s kind of working, I guess. And why should I be rude to a girl?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfhyIC4FHY
“I wouldn’t say it isn’t working. Just checking, Mr. Maxwell Grey. That’s the name, right?”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbv8CQoX3j
“That’s right, Miss Gabriella Montes.”
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKWPMlZFDb
She chuckled softly and left. As soon as she was out of the condo, she pulled out her phone and put a call across.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnTJg6Y3gC
“How did it go?” a woman’s voice sounded across the line.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksAnjjAkMD
“The devil that ruined my life didn’t remember me from the past, so it went well.” a smirk plastered on her face.
