Many years have passed since I saw him, his calm loving face were the first thing I see anytime I closed my eyes. I miss him, every inch of my body misses him, and I feel that he does through the bond we share. Even when we are far away from each other, but this bond we feel is strong, stronger than anything.

And I hope one day that we meet again.

" Jennie, you okay? " My friend, Janelle asked quiet concerned.

" Yeah, I am. " I rubbed my temples. " Just feeling a little headache that's all."

" Are you sure, you have been saying that for a few days now. " She rubbed my shoulder.

" I am fine. " I smiled at her. " A little memory of my past is just making me get some headaches that is all. "

" You better go for a check up, it might be something serious. " She continued to worry over me.

" Okay MOM. " I teased her. " But first, I need to finish this before our new CEO eats me. " I jokingly said.

" Yeah you are right, if you don't also finish that, you will surely get a terrifying headache. " Janelle chuckled.

I chuckled too and continued with the work that is left.

It was already late and the office was totally empty. I heaved a sign of relief when I finished the project my boss would be needing. All I had to do was to do a few things and I would be off.

At long last I was done with everything and started to pack my belongings to depart from the office.

I walked 30 minutes to the bus stop and waited, my eyes drifting into the night sky and it didn't look promising because it was covered with black heavy clouds. I sighed by the sight.

25 minutes have already passed and there is no signs of the bus. The heavy clouds started dripping from the water it held, not long and it was pouring down.

I went to stand in the middle of the stand to avoid getting wet.

The rain wasn't a strong one but it looked really serious. My body started to feel the coldness of the rain as it change the hot weather around me.The rain looked like it wouldn't stop soon and the bus seem to not come.

Suddenly a black car with tinted windows came to stop infront of the stand.

I didn't pay attention to it and continue to wait for the bus.

The door of the car opened and a man came out of it with a black umbrella.

He walked to my side with a smile.

" Good evening Miss. " He slightly bent his body.

" Um... good evening. " I responded.

" Sorry for the intrusion, but my master ask of you to join him in the car. " The man said, still smiling at me.

The first that came to my mind was trouble. I mean at this time of the night a black car with tinted windows pulls infront of you and the driver ask you to hop in for a ride. Isn't this quite strange.

I smiled back at the man. " Thank you for your kind gesture, but I'm okay waiting for the bus."

The man walked back to the car, then knocked on the window of the passenger's door. The tinted window rolled down a little, I could tell it was the man's boss but I couldn't see his face.

The man came back to my side still smiling and a I started to feel uneasy because of it.

" Sorry again miss, but my master would really like it if you joined him." He continued. " Please don't worry he won't harm you, he just wants to help you that's all. You see it is raining and it is also cold, you might catch a cold if you stay for long. And the bus wouldn't be coming anytime soon, after all is quite late."

Indeed he is right, after midnight the bus would stop passing this side. Oh, what was I thinking, how could I forget.

I looked at the man who was offering to help me, he didn't look harmful but friendly. I hesitated a little before accepted his invitation.

After all, if they try anything funny I'd surely teach them. I mean what do you expect from me when I learned self-defense.

The man lead me to other side the passenger's seat and opened the door for me. I sat down in the car and was greeted with a towel.

" Thank you. " I took it and used it to wipe my face.

" Your welcome. " His deep husky voice send chill down my spine when he spoke.

My palm started to itch and I scratched it. The car started to move on the road and my head automatically turned to watch the outside.

" What is your name, lady? " His deep voice boomed in my ears as if we sat really close to each other.

His voice alone was enough for me to shiver and feel really nervous around him.

" No need to feel nervous lady, I'm just a common man who is asking your name."

" Will... " My voice drifted away when I turned to look at him.

DAMN HE IS SO FREAKING HOT!!!!

When he said a common man in his sentence, I'm now founding it really hard to agree with him. With those looks of his, he is sure not a common one. His sharp dark eyes that can cut you with one glance, his hair were also dark just like the night and his lips..... his freaking lips... had the colour of wine.And his skin, it looked a little pale... in an attractive way.

DAMN he surely looks like the perfect art sculpture of God. Just looking at him is enough for me to go blind, his messy dark curls really is calling to me.

How can a man look this GOOD!!!!!

" Miss you alright? " The man's to die for voice pulled me back to earth.

When I realized I was drooling over him, my cheeks started to heat up.

" Lady, I guess we have reached your place. " He said smiling at me and I swear I felt blood gashed out from my nose.

" Th- th- thank you. " I said opening the door.

" Wait.." He trilled off when I went outside and got soaked in the rain.

" Shoot! " I cursed under my breath.

" My name is Jennie. " Is said then closed the door before running into the building.

When I got inside the building and to my apartment, I quickly entered the shower after I finished undressing.

My mind drifted to the man that left me dumbfounded, his perfect face started to hunt me with his smile. Thinking of that is even making my body shiver, and..... I kinda like it.

He looked so friendly and nice, but the aura that surrounds him is telling me something else.

His aura felt dark, cold and mysterious, despite that and the other warning signs around him. It's just makes me want to get closer to him.

I turned off the tap and got out of the shower with a towel wrapped around me. After drying myself, I wore my pajamas and slide into the blankets of my bed, the soft mattress felt so comfortable and so is the heavy blanket that covered me.

Who doesn't like the rain at night, the cold atomospher plus air condition, is enough for me to go to lala land.

As I drifted of to sleep, the stranger's handsome face appeared.

I was confused, because normally his face is the one that appears, not this stranger.

But at least for the first nights in a long time, I get to see someone that is not him. And somehow is making me feel uneasy all of a sudden.

What can I say, my heart only belongs to him, no matter how many deadly handsome men I see, he is the only man meant for me.

My heart was at easy when his face came to replace the hot one.

Goodnight Noah, wherever you are? I said then finally slept.

Some annoying buzz was heard in my room and it was really loud, the buzzing was so annoying to the extent that I almost hit it with my metal bat that laid beside my bed, and the reason I have it is for self-defense, just in case there is trouble.

The buzzing stopped after afew second and I felt really relieved, but that did not last for long and that annoying buzzing sound came again.

I grumpily covered my ears with the pillow, but that didn't stop the sound. I got up from the bed and took the bat ready to hit that alarm clock.

My hands stop midway when I saw the time, it read 7:45am. There was something in my mind that seemed really important, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

I shrugged my shoulders and laid back on the bed. When I laid there, my boss angry face came to mind.

" ****, I'm Late!!! " I jumped off the bed and sprinted towards my bathroom,then out of the bathroom, wore my suit, combed my hair, wore my 2 inch heels, took my bag from the chair and headed out of my apartment like it is on fire. When I reached the elevator, the projects files that I left in my apartment came in mind.

" Damn it. " I cursed and rush back to my apartment to grab the project files.

I rash back to the elevator and waited for it to open before I entered.

In the elevator, I saw that I haven't done makeup. I cursed under my breath and quickly did a simple and natural makeup, when I was done, the elevator dinged and I got off.

A man was getting into a taxi and I quickly runned towards him, then pushed him out of it, making him land on his butt.

" Sorry. " I apologized to him and entered the taxi.

" Starlight Company; step on it. " I said in a commanding tone.

I got to the the company at 9:11am, I didn't waste anymore time and runned towards the elevator which was almost occupied.

It soon stopped at the fifteenth floor and I dashed out, heading towards the conference room. I didn't understand what was going on but when I got there some of the employees were at the entrance.

" Finally, the princess have arrived. " Belinda said sarcastically.

I just ignored her and walked straight to Janelle.

" What happened Jennie, the meeting has already started and you are..... "

" I know Jane, " I gave her my bag. " I overslept. "

" Ohhh, Jennie. " She sighed. " Here, take this before you forget. " She gave me the files that contains the presentation..

" How do I look, okay? " I nervously asked.

" Yeah you do, now go in there. " She turned me around and pushed me into the room.

I stumbled into the room, cold invisible sweat started to roll done my face as my female boss glared at me with so much anger and irritating. Sure she will tear me into pieces.

My boss got up and cleared her throat

" Sorry again for the delay, the one we are waiting for is finally here. " She bowed to a man who sat at the far end of the conference table.

I calmly walked around the table to give each and everyone the file, when I reached the man sitting at the end, my skeleton almost jumped out of my body.

' What.... what... is he doing here? ' I said in my head as I handed him the files.

He looked at me with those once friendly eyes, but, it now has nothing in it, no emotions, no anything, it looked blank. He took the files without looking at me.

" And....." My boss was in the middle of explaining the project but stop when the man got up.

" No deal, " He got up and was about to leave but was stopped by my lady boss.

Before she could say anything he glared at her.

His frightening glare, was enough to keep my lady boss shut.

She moved aside and he left with some men.

Now in the office of my boss, my ears were literally bleeding from her yelling she was throwing things around.

" You overslept?!." She roared at me.

" I lost a good deal because of you. "

" I am sorry, I am so sorry. " I continued to begging the stone hearted woman.

" Please give me another chance. I promise I won't let this happen again. "

" Of course it won't," she said through gritted teeth. " I don't want to ever see you in this company, ever again. "

Once those words left her lips, my knees felt weak and my eyes started to tear up.

" Please, Miss West, don't fire me, I need this job, please Miss West, give me another chance- "

" I said YOU ARE FIRED GET OUT BEFORE I CALL SECURITY!!! " She shouted at me and turned her back.

I slowly got off the floor with tears rolling down my cheeks, I bowed slightly and left her office to my desk.

On the way, I was thinking on what to do, my father is sick in the hospital and I got fired from my job, I hardly pay his medication and now,this, what should I do.

I also have to pay for my apartment in the next two months.

" Jennie, is okay, this will pass- " Jenelle said trying to comfort me.

" I got fired. " I told her before she continued.

" What?! " She exclaimed. " I-I-I know u did wrong b-b-but she can't fire you like that. Jennie don't worry I'll go talk to her. "

" It's okay, " I sniffed, and smiled at her.

" No is not, Jennie " She held my hand. " What you gonna do, your farher's surgery is around the corner - "

" Jane, I said it is okay. " I said and took a brown box that contained my items.

" Jennie..."

" It's okay. " I said and left.

Six days have already passed since I got fired and I was drying up; the money I had left wasn't enough for me and to talk about my father's condition, it was getting worse, but still that old man continue to act like a spoilt brat.

He looks really strong, but this old geezer is really weak. I spent most of my time with him and use the other time to try to find a job.

" Jennie? " My father called me.

" Yes dad, do you need anything? " I asked him.

He shook his head and looked at me. " I have realized that you have become quite down recently. What's wrong? "

" Nothing daddy, as I told you, I'm on leave and I need a little sleep but, I gotta take care of you. "

" You on leave? "

" Yes, have you forgotten again. " I pinched the bridge between my nose. " I told you that I needed to take care of you. "

" Oh yeah, now I remember, old age is sure not nice. " He chuckled.

The door of my dad's room opened, and behind it was my dad's doctor smiling at as.

" Good afternoon Mr. Fernandez. " He looked at my father, then at me. " Good afternoon Jennie." his tone sounded more sweeter than the one he used to talk to my dad.

" Good Afternoon doc. "I smiled back at me.

He walked towards his bed and stood beside the bed he laid on.

" So, Mr. Fernandez, how do you feel today?. "He asked whiles checking the IV drip and the machine that are on him.

" With my beautiful daughter beside me to keep me company. I'm alright. " Dad said with admiration present in his tone.

"Oh I see then, she is really taking care of you. " The doctor smiled at me.

After he was done with his business on checking on my father, he motioned for me to come outside and I did.

" I hope there is nothing wrong. " I said when I closed the door.

He slipped his hands into his pocket and heaved a heavy sign.

" Your father, I mean Mr. Fernandez, his condition is getting worse. He needs to do this operation very soon, before it becomes critical. "

I knew this situation might pop up any time, my fingers runned through my hair as I try to think of something.

" How much will it cost? " I asked him.

" Let say, about 420,000 dollars." He told me.

" Wow, " I suck in a sharp breath.

That money, how in the world will I get that huge amount of money in such a short time, my money in the bank is around 23,090 dollars, and with that I use it for my father's medication, but it is not enough.

I leaned on the well and slid down to ground.

" You know," sniff " You know very well that I don't have that kind of money with me. " I said through my tears.

" Ohh Jennie. " He squatted beside me and placed a hand on my shoulder. " Can't you ask your boss to give some money?"

I looked up at him and shook my head while wiping my tears.

" I'm jobless Aaron. " I erupted into another cry. " I have no money, no job and I-I-I need to pay my rent anytime soon " sniff " plus my father's operation fee. "

" I am sorry Jennie. " He sounded concerned.

" Sorry won't get me money, Aaron." I leaned my head back. " Only God knows where I'm gonna get such kind of money. I looked at Aaron and my eyes widen.

" You can help me Aaron, " I hiccuped. " Please Aaron you gotta help me." I knealt infront of him and cupped my hands together. " Please Aaron, you have to help, I promise to pay you back, " tears started to stream down my face again. " I'd do anything you ask of me, please you gotta help me. I beg of you. "

Aaron held my hands and pushed it down. " Okay, I'll see what I can do, after all, I will do anything you ask of me. " He smiled sweetly at me and pulled me close for a hug.

MYSTERIOUS MAN POV

' That doctor, sure is getting on my nervous' My fist clenched really tight that cracks were heard from it.

' How dare he touch her. ' I turned around and walked away from them before I did something stupid. I walked down a part to a doctor's office and planked down on one of the two seats in front of him.

" Sir..." He looked at me quite confused his tone sounded a bit shaky but I ignored it. " I-I hope I didn't do something wrong." He sounded scared.

I just looked at him with a blank expression.

" Sir -"

" Who is that doctor who is taking care of him? " I cutted him short.

" F-f-for Mr. Fernandez, that is doctor Aaron Wilde." He starmmered.

" Aaron Wilde; " my eyes narrowed. " What do you know about him?"

" Well, he comes from a very rich family and he is not married b-but everyone in the hospital knows that he is interested in Miss. Fernandez. T-t-t-that is all I know s-sir. "

" Hmm..." I signed " So he is interested with her, huh " I felt my lips curl into a smile, and is not a good smile as my how body itch for destruction to that fool.

" I got a job for, " I looked him straight in the eyes and saw his pupils shake. " Don't worry, you'll be back paid handsomely."

After the small chat with the doctor I left the room heading towards her room. When I got there, I peeped through the rectangular open and saw her talking happily to her.

My eyes soften by the sight of her NOT her father, looking at that man surely makes my blood boil as the memories of what he did to us came in my mind.

I looked away and shut my eyes trying to control my breathing. I looked back at her again and smiled.

She has indeed become more beautiful this past few years, few, it felt like eternity. I walked out of the hospital building into a black Jaguar car.

" Where to sir?" My chauffeur asked.

" For now, let's go to the office. " I told him.

JENNIE'S POV

All my tears finally stopped coming after a long minute of crying and soaking Aaron's shirt. He asked and if I was alright and I nodded my head.

" Okay, if you want my help.. you have to cook for me. " He grinned at me.

I looked at him in confusion then smiled after getting it. " Okay then, Doctor Aaron"

" Aye, I told you to stop adding the doctor to my name. " He said with a chuckle.

" Sure thing, " I hugged him again with a smile. " Thank you so much Aaron. "

" Anything for you." He hugged me back.

" You two look perfect together. " My father said without a care.

" Dad don't start. ' I folded my arms across my chest.

" What, I'm old and sick, and I might die anytime soon. I need to see my grand kids before that happens. " He said stubbornly said.

" And that won't happen, " I sat down on the chair close to him. " Besides me and Doctor Aaron are just friends. "

" Right... just friends." I dotted his eyes from me and to him. " I see it clearly. " he emphersized on the clearly.

" Dad stop talking nonsense. " I started to get annoyed.

" What, let me speak Jennie, after all you have grown into a fine young lady. You want stay young forever, that is why you have to get married. And luckily Doctor Aaron is that right man for you, after all he has money and well paid job and very supportive person. I would be happy if the both of you got married. "

I rolled my eyes at him. " Dad I am not ready to get married and he if I want to, I wouldn't to do that because he has money. I want a respectful man who supports me, faithful to me, and does not abuse woman. "

" What your daughter is saying, is right," Aaron supported me. " there are some woman out there that wants to be with because of money but not because of you. And woman like you daughter are hard to find during this time and if it was possible I would like to marry a woman just like her.

" Then marry her, I would be willing to give her to you. Just say the words and she is yours." Dad said shameful.

" Dad! " I stumped my foot.

" Well Mr. Fernandez. " he rubbed the back of his neck shyly and his face was turning red. " I-I-I can't force your daughter to marry me.....she.... I mean she has the right to be with who ever wants to be with."

" And I have the right to decide if that man is good for her. " Dad said in a serious tone. " And I say you are goid for her. "

" Okay that is enough," I started to rub my head with my palm. " If we continue with this......thing I might die before you dad. And please leave you have other patients to take care of, don't you. "

" Of course, then I would be taking my leave. "
