"Her laugh, it was like music to my ears. Her smile, it was what made my day brighten up. And that day, it was my nightmare that would haunt me for the rest of my life." - Jane

I toss around in the bed as the memories I called nightmares ran in my head preventing me from waking up.

"Hurry up Andrew, we don't want to be late to your nephew's christening." My mom stated as we walked out of the house.

My dad came down the stairs with my cousin's present in hand.

"Hwurry up daddy." I reply as I cross my arms over my chest and tap my foot on the ground.

"She is just like you." My dad tells my mom as he picks me up and we head towards the car.

"I cwant wait to see my baby cousin." I state as my dad puts me in the car chair.

"I know sweetie, me neither." My dad responds.

After making sure we had everything we needed, we were on the road and making our way to the church.

"The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round. The wheels on the bus go round and round all day long." My parents and I sang.

"You are excited about finally meeting your new baby cousin?" Dad asked.

"Yes!" I reply excitedly. "Mommy, daddy I wish I had a baby sister or brother like cousin Nikki?" I state.

"I don't know honey but if you keep wishing your wish will come true." Mom replied with a smile.

"Your mother is very right about that." Daddy stated as he turned his head so he was facing me.

"I know daddy." I reply with a smile.

"Andrew watch out!" My mom exclaimed.

I saw a big truck heading towards the car before my dad could move out of its way the truck hit us. Everything around me happened so fast. All I could hear was my mom screaming my name before it was lights out for me.

A knock on the door wake me up from the awful dream, although it wasn't a dream. I wipe away the sweat from my hair and stand up from my bed. I open the door to reveal one of the maids standing there.

"Hey, how may I help you?" I asked.

The maid smiles up at me and answers, "Mr. McKeller is asking for you."

"Tell him I will be down in a few minutes." I reply and the maid nods before heading back downstairs.

I let out a deep sigh as I look up at the ceiling as I state, "It's been eighteen years and I still remember it like it was yesterday."

I walk over to the bathroom and turn on the shower. A tears slips down my cheek followed by another.

"Why did it have to hurt so much?" I ask as I try to contain the tears.

The water cascades over my body as I stand there crying, each tear shedded containing a memory of them. Once I have no more tears I turn of the tap and wrap a white cotton towel around me. My eyes were red but with some make up it would disappear. I quickly change into a black leather pencil skirt, burgundy spaghetti trap chiffon cami top, black blazer, and black lace peep toe platforms. I quickly blow dry my hair and let it fall into curly waves. After adding some make-up I had out the door. I grab my back and walk downstairs. Adrian was already waiting for me at the door.

"You're finally up. Now let's go." Adrian stated as he grabbed my hand and led us out the door.

I pull my hand out of his grip and reply, "I haven't had breakfast yet."

"Well you should have thought about that when you took your sweet time taking a shower." Adrian argued.

"Can you be considerate of other people's needs for once!" I snap causing Adrian to get more frustrated.

"Jans lets go now." Adrian states but I ignored him and walked back into the house. "Jane!"

I continued walking towards the kitchen ignoring his calls.

"Ms. Hamilton I thought that you were at work by now." Fernando states as I enter the kitchen.

"Fernando can you make me some scrambled eggs, please." I reply and he nods before starting on my breakfast.

"Jane!" Adrian growled but I just ignored him.

He can wait twenty minutes!

"Here is your food miss." Fernando states as he places my food in front of me.

I grab a fork and start eating causing a frown to appear on Adrian's face. Oh well, I am going to eat my food he can wait!

"Jane, we need to go or else I am going to be late to a very important meeting." Adrian states with clenched fists.

I chew on my food before swallowing and answering, "Well your meeting can wait. Or is your meeting more important than your fiancé?"

Adrian looks over at Fernando who was witnessing the whole argument.

Adrian lets out a frustrated sigh as he silently growls my name, "Jane."

"What?" I snap as I drink my juice.

"Please Jane I am going to be late." Adrian repeats.

"You've already been late before," I retort. "Oh and last thing I recall it was because of you. And me being the very caring girlfriend I am waited for you! Now be dear and wait until I am finished."

Adrian's jaw clenched as he takes a seat and sighs, "Fine."

A smirk appears on my face and I can see the cook smiling as well.

Score one for me!

"If my father kills me for being late to the meeting it should stay in your conscious that it was your fault." Adrian states as we walk into McKellar Industries.

We step into the private elevator reserved only for the McKeller smoky members.

"Yeah, yeah." I reply as I take a sip of the smoothie Fernando kindly made for me.

"And as a punishment for disobeying me you are going to go to the meeting with me and copy down every single word that comes out of the everyone's mouth." Adrian replies as he traps me between the elevator walls and him.

The elevator doors open and I push past him.

I turn around to face him and state, "And I don't think that's a 'punishment', it's more of my job. Because that's what you hired me for didn't you?"

With that I turn on my heel and walk towards the meeting room. Two points me, Adrian zero!

I push past the glass door and enter the meeting room. Everyone was already in their seats but only two people were missing, can you guess who?

"Jane, where is Adrian?" Mr. McKeller asked.

"He's coming he just had a little incident." I easily lie before taking my seat.

A few seconds later Adrian walks into the room.

I press the enter key before falling back on my chair and crack my knuckles. That was a lot of notes to write and type up! I grab the papers being printed and put them into a folder. I walk out of my office and head towards Adrian's. I knock and the door and wait until he saids, "Come in."

I open the door and walk into his huge office. He was typing something on his computer as I walked towards him.

"Here are the meeting notes. I decided to type them up as well." I state as I hand him the folder.

Adrian looks up and responds, "Thank you."

I start making my way towards the door but Adrian calls my name and I ask, "What?"

"You have the rest of the day off," he answers and I stare at him confused. "My dad is hosting a party and well I thought you should buy yourself a dress and take the rest of the afternoon to get ready."

I raised my eyebrow in surprise. Was Adrian McKeller being nice?

"Okay but what is the party about?" I ask.

"My parents want to announce that I am going to be the new CEO of the McKellar Industries. And I decided that it would be the perfect event to announce our engagement." Adrian explains.

"Oh okay," I state and then an idea pops into my head. "Can I take a friend with me?"

"Sure." Adrian responds. "Oh and Jane here, but anything you want."

Adrian hands me his credit card and I stare at him in disbelief.

"Uh, no I-I can't take this." I answer as I try and give it back to me.

He pushes my hand back and states, "Yes you can you are my caring girlfriend after all."

Okay, now he is acting way to nice. Something is up?

I give him a small smile as I respond, "Okay thanks."

I walk out of the office and head towards Amelia's office. I knock on the door and wait until it opens.

"Hey Jane, what's up." She asks.

I give her a smile and reply, "Grab your things we're going to go shopping."

"But we have work." She responds.

"It's okay I already talked to Adr-Mr. McKeller about it." I reply.

"Okay then let's go." She answers as she grabs her stuff and we head towards the elevators.

Once we step into the busy streets of Miami and I find David, Adrian's chauffeur, standing outside the buildings.

"Ms. Hamilton." He states as we spot him.

"I-Isn't that Mr. McKeller's chauffeur?" Amelia asks.

I bite my lip and nod as I state, "I might have left out the small detail that I am Adrian's girlfriend."

Before Amelia can respond I walk into the awaiting limousine.

***

We walk into a fancy looking boutique and I start searching for a dress.

"Spill the beans woman, how is that you are Mr. McKeller's girlfriend?" Amelia asks as she too searches for a dress.

"Well he used to be costumer at the dinner I used to work at, I accidentally spilled coffee on him, he ironically invited me coffee, and then we went on various dates until the day he popped the question." I easily lie.

"Aww that's so cute, wish I had a fairytale like that?" Amelia responds.

This isn't a fairytale it's more of a nightmare!

"Thanks," I simply respond.

"Oh my god I found the perfect dress!" Amelia states as she shows me a beautiful dress.

"That's the one."
