"Wh..why is so noisy?" scratching her eyes she saw many blurred figures of people surrounded her.

"No pulse...

She died already."

"a pity.."

"so young.."

"call ambulance!"

"Where is the driver who hit her?"

"Wh.who died?" pulling all her strength to stand up, Jolie try harder to make her vision clearer. She looks up and stared far away above to relax her eyes then focus on stars. "It's late. Mom will nag at me." Looking over to the people around. "Why am I in the middle of the road? And who died?"

Looking closely to the body in the stretcher they putting inside the ambulance she saw a familial body, her shoes, her knee-length skirt, her blouse to her very own bloody face.

"wha.what.. what happened?" She's asking around but no one did answer her. She tried to stop someone but her hand just go through. she's like a hologram, like a spirit without a body, like a ghost. She stepped back with a shock pale-faced.

"Are they all dead?"

"Pftt!" someone in the crowd suddenly laughed.

"who's that!? show me yourself! is there someone alive like me here!?" looking around she found a man with a hooded jacket going away.

"hey! wait!" attempting to follow him.

"We're not dead, You are." not looking back to see her looks then he just walk away.

She wasn't even given the chance to take a glimpse at the man's face.

"I'm dead?" startled, looking at her slim hands and a sexy but conservative body. "no, I can't!"

shaking her head then remembering what happen to her.

She was on her way home after going at night in their church. Their family is known of being a religious family. Every other day their grandmother together with her siblings, sons and daughters in law goes to church to pray for a peaceful life every other day. Jolie works a part time job in the morning so she can't go to the church togetherwith their family, but because they practice to be a solid religious family they advised her to go pray at church every night. Then while crossing the streets, a truck suddenly hit her and everything gone all that left is light.

The Santos Family is known for a "exaggerating" religious family in town.

Even they look like a simple living rich family people in town can't help it but doubt them.

Firstly because of exaggerating days of church going. It will be just normal if it's in old days period but this is modern days! it's 2019 now!

Secondly, is the old story about them. They say the family is curse with a no female member family before they have become religious. All the ladies they have are daughter-in-laws, the rest are sons.

Generation after generation the Old grandma of the family didn't stop thinking of ways to end the curse and it bear the fruit they have waited for.

A granddaughter!

They say it was because of the advice of a minister of some church. And then they began socializing with people.

And Lastly, they look like they never get old. The old grandma in her 70s still looks 40s.

Their Six sons,Joseph,the first son, today He's 48 years old but still looks like a 30 yr old man. Joshua a 45, Jimmy a 44, and Jasper a 42 all looks like just a 30 years old. John a 38 and Jig a 35 still looks like teenagers.

Some thought they are vampires like in a twilight movie, they have fair beautiful skin and under the sun they glitters.

Despite every rumors many ladies have queue up to volunteer to be eaten by them though they already have wives , and though they aren't vampires, that's why they ended up securing and hiding their looks in the crowd, except for business.They have all the riches! with all the properties, money and treasures they have inherited, they could feed themselves up to 10 generation without earning another money, but of course, they won't be laze out just because of that. Old grandma taught her sons well, wishing every good deeds they'd do will bear a fruit she have been waiting for.

And because they are super rich, super handsome and super everything have everything, they do not have anymore interest in what family background will their in-laws have. Of course, It's because they are all daughters who will join their family soon. As long as they can break the curse they can have all they wanted to them, fortunately, their daughter in laws love their husbands truly so none of them take advantage.

It's just only Lianne gave birth to a daughter with Joseph. The mother of Jolie. Lianne is the 9th daughter of Marquez family in a province of X country. They are all sisters and she's the last one. After a huge amount of persuasion of Santos family, and with the help of a church minister, finally! they agreed.The Marquez couple aren't greedy, also their daughters before but not anyone can't money change personalities.

Because Lianne, their sister, break some rich family curse,inflate some egos. They began being proud, capricious and shameless. They now hated their humbled past, not even recognizing their relatives anymore and started living in cities in S country, where Santos family reigns.

Not knowing where to go, her feet decided to go home to her newly bought condo.

She subconsciously open and closed the door.

"Have you heard the news already?"

"what?"

"Lady beauty in 301 got accident, and in critical condition they say she won't see the sunrise tomorrow"

The two maintenance passing heard the bang closing sound of the door 301.

"Tttttthat door?.. is sssss ss 301?"

"di.di.di.did you hhhhear that?"

looking at each other they didn't dare to scream or they'll cause a ruckus to the residents and restrain their will to run. They just walk fast instead, while shivering, Suddenly they saw someone, A man standing tall with clean and neat white long sleeve shirt with neat black pants, clean fresh cut hair near the door probably his condo.

They got relax their scrunched up muscles and faced the handsome man.

"gugu good morning mister!" greeting the two to the man facing his back to them.

The man stop walking through the door.

"good morning" without looking back to them He smiled slightly, then suddenly pass through the door without opening it.

"a. a. a. aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!"

"ghost!!! rrrrruunnnn!"

"a. a. a. aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!"

"ghost!!! rrrrruunnnn!"

The two poor maintenance run like they run for their lives, screamed like there's no more tomorrow.

While inside 301, the once jolly and warm atmosphere inside her condo become gloomy and cold.

"Sigh." looking at everything inside, her newly bought appliances, new furnitures and new dog pet. She is proud of everything she had here because she bought them through her 'Very Own Money'. After graduating from college She didn't waste anymore time and find a not so high but good paying salary job.

She graduated from business management but to have every experience she decided to work as a saleslady to a big department store which in rival with his uncle department store.

She can have everything if she wanted to but she believes in what her grandma said,

'Do not live in riches, live in happiness.'

Her grandma wants every happy moments be with her and kindness grew upon inside her thats why her name Jolie is based in Jolly which means Happy and Kind, but what in the world did happened to her.

Is this what they have sacrifice in praying for?

Is this what God's payment for their good deeds after all?

They do not believe in him before but after breaking the curse they have been praying to him they choose to be faithful to him but what now!?

All their hopes they have given her to continue the breaking of that curse, now have gone.

"Sorry Grandma... sob sob.. sorry mom.. sob sorry dad.. sorry..." walking to her bed feeling tired of everything,she lied crying.

Suddenly, inside her quilt a crying cute brown puppy pop out looking at her. She got startled.

"Brutus?"

"woof!" the sad puppy become happy the moment she called his name, wagging his tail he lick his master tears.

"You.. You can see me!?" filled with happiness she carried Brutus in her arms. "I can carry you!"

"woof! woof!" Brutus nod like understanding what his master said.

"Interesting." suddenly from the darkest wall a handsome tall man appeared. Looking at the ghost carrying a living puppy in her arms with happiness in her bright red eyes.

Looking at her scarlet red lips and silvery long hair. "beautiful" reaching her hair.

Jolie then stepped back to avoid his hand.

"Who are you?" looking at the handsome tall man who is actually a handsome tall ghost in front of her. "Are you also dead?"

"Am I?" suddenly appeared in front of her inch-closer to her face, softly touching her face tracing from her ear to her chin she blushed. "Now that you have crossed, let me introduce myself to you, I'm Brent and I am your fiancé."

"ah, Brent." "wewewewait!. what!?" breaking free from his pressure. "how? you! don't messed with me! I am not your fiancee, besides I don't remember having any boyfriend before I died. not even a ghost fiancé!"

Straightening his posture he looked seriously at her, then He blinked fast twice, looking at her seriously, slightly frowning then He smiled at her. "Whatever, I'll wait for you, I'll stay with you here tonight."

"No!" she strongly refuse. "You can't stay at someone else house especially a woman house!" putting down the puppy who goes near to Brent intimately jumping around him.

"woof! woof!"

"No Brutus! Don't talk to strangers! Especially man who we're not close with!" picking back the pup but she reached nothing and it hides behind Brent.

"wooof" sad answer of Brutus.

"I'm not a stranger, besides, Im closer to you than the closest friend or closest family you ever had. And.. I can prove it." showing a confident smile with a serious gaze.

Feeling something is not right with what he is saying then suddenly she realized it all!

Of course! because He is a ghost, He can be closer as close as He wanted to her back then when she was still alive because she can't see him!!!

Thinking what He could have seen to her private parts she blushed. Ashamed, she can't look back.

"36B"

"At every 15 of the month"

"besides reading novels and comics, reading porn..."

"ENOUGH!!!!" throwing her pillows at him but of course,they just pass through him.

"You are a pervert ghost! how can you..!? how could you..!? so shameless!"

throwing everything blanket after blanket.

"But I think I'm not as pervert as you are..." with his expression like a innocent kid thinking of something, 'this is great! tease her. Right! the best way to make her temporarily forget her sadness is to tease her.haha'

"Go away! Go out!" feeling like her thread of patience has been rip. She tried to lift the foam bed to throw at him but failed. "What happened? why can't.." trying to lift it again the second time but she failed again. Suddenly, she felt weak and fainted.

"...silly.." catching her from her fall he carried her to her bed and shared bed with her.

On the other side...

"Why did you two screamed last night? You have frightened the residents! You know I can fire you right away because of that!!!"

nagging with fury the manager in their department didn't stop scolding the two.

The two just keep apologizing to their manager. They know they can't offend the residents living to the top floor. They are all from rich and powerful families. They can't even say what was the reason why did they screamed or it will scare the residents there.

"What if you disturb Mr.Lois ? How will you handle?! You're not even thinking!"

"Mi mi mi Mr.Lois???" shocked.

"It can't be..." feeling all their energy dissipated they fall on their knees.

Room 306. A tall, fair skin, handsome man,wearing luxury business attire is grooming himself at the mirror in his walk-in-closet with a pen-like headphone clipped to his left ear. "Fire them." with a poker face expression. It feels like it was just a casual word that doesn't even matter.

"yes! Ceo Lois." confirmation of the man on the other line.

While looking for shoes inside his closet, the lights flickered and at the same time a running white dressed girl suddenly pass by.

'brother...' he heard a cold whisper from his left ear.

"Myrtle?" says the man on the other line of his headphone.

Lois followed the silhouette of girl opening the cabinet, It was locked, He skimmed through the top bar of the cabinet He got the keys, he quietly inserted the key to the cabinet door he can hear the sound of 'Kacha' unlocking metals. Suddenly,

Knock' Knock'!

"No!!!!!!....." waking up from a nightmare. She catches her breath. "No..sob.. sob.." tears keep falling down her face. She hug her legs then lean her head on her knees.

Suddenly a pair of hands hug her from her back, with a hoarse seductive voice he whispered to her ears " It's okay...hush now.."

Jolie stiffend body suddenly muster up all her energy to her hand and punch Brent in his face. "Leave me alone!"

"Ow! Ok!" Brent who flies from her punch run away opening and closing the door forgetting He can just walk through it.

Finally! she got her space. She cried hard everything! She felt so wrong. She felt injustice! But suddenly Brent appeared again!

She glared at him.

"Aiyah. Brutus! come here!" Brutus then listen to Brent he is also looking scared of his master. "Your master,my fiancee said we leave her alone. Be good." patting lightly Brutus head then the puppy nodded. Escaping step by step like they are afraid of waking someone so mighty that might kill them, He slowly opened the door for Brutus then close it again. 'bang!'

"aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggggggghhhhh!" screaming all her irritations, she wanted to strangle Brent's neck.

The sun had risen and warm the town outside.

Inside an expensive and new model car.

"I'm sorry about earlier today." said the man in the driver seat, He then take a glimpse of the man in the backseat by the front mirror to see his expression. "I thought I heard Miss Myrtle voice."

"It's fine." looking back to his driver at the mirror then He looked away through the tinted car window.

Before the car can go further away from building. He saw a brown puppy jumping happily in front of a bench near the road they are passing by. The puppy looks like it's playing with someone but there's no one in the sight.

Remembering what just had happened to him in his closet. He suddenly got struck with his idea. 'can the puppy plays with her?' He thought. "Stop the car!"

The driver park the car on the road side then switch off its engine.

Lois got out from the car then walk near the bench where the puppy still jumping on.

He doesn't know what to feel, expecting someone He knew and missed for so long He didn't hesitate anymore. He remove his silver ring from his left little finger. "Myr.."

The word got stuck-up from his tounge after seeing a man rather than a little girl.

Brent can sense that someone alive is watching him. He turned around to face him,

he saw a very handsome man, Mr.Lois!

With his chestnut brown hair, brown eyes, that eyebrows that could scare ferocious beast, red killer like lips and a handsome jawline.

He couldn't help but glare at him.

To his surprise, Mr. Lois glared at him also.

Brent smiled at him, a smile thats not a smile.

how could he sincerely smile to his rival!?

This is the man his woman secretly fantasizing about! CEO type! Tch!

"Are you disappointed Mr.Lois?"

Looking at some random handsome ghost. Lois didn't got scared but wonder.

wonder what he owe to this ghost why he's acting like they have a lifetime enmity towards him. "Is there anything for me to be disappointed at?"

"Aren't you supposed to ask if I saw her?"

turning his back to him he decided to just ignore him. He knows he might be looking for his sister who had already died but her body is still missing.

Startled, he can't decide what he would do next. Will he try to ask her what happened to her and where is she, why won't she show up to him. He can always feel that someone is always looking at him, he can see other ghost others can disturb him face to face but she, she is playing tricks to him but she never showed up. Tricks that can cost his life in the past.

One night, while he was driving she suddenly showed up quickly on the road and He got accident. 'Is she mad at me? Of course she is, I have riches, I have power but I failed protecting her, his only sister'.

After his stepmother admitted that she killed his sister. He was always haunted by her but he didn't care. Broken bones, broken ribs, bloody wounds, he doesn't care. He feels like it was his sister punishments to him.

But his father and grandmother got worried so they decided to find paranormal help.

They failed hundred times and have been tricked many times but after hearing the breaking of the Santos family legendary curse with the help of a minister of a normal looking church, they decided to seek for a help.

The minister of the church in their town back then, brought them to their main church in J country. The higher minister told them that it was not his sister and that his ring needed to be dispose. They didn't believe him. They thought it was Santos Family doing because the ring is their family heirloom and so to stop their accusations. The minister decided to have a prayer for their son. They said it was just temporarily but still they have agreed.

10 years have passed now She's showing signs again but now she is stronger. She can manipulate the background as she wish whenever Lois remove his ring from his finger.

Lois wear his ring again then go back to his car quietly.

"Is that her?" Sergio, his assistant and a driver ask him, he is also his secret bodyguard. After growing up together their relationship become a brotherhood affection. They shared hardships together when they were still young. He was also close to his sister,Myrtle.

Boxing and Martial Arts was his hobby and money isn't a problem with their family also but not so rich like his buddy. After knowing the tragedies fall upon them. He decided to be his personal secret bodyguard with of course! with a high salary. He can't see ghost so he didn't believe in it before but after being with his boss buddy, he had some experience. Being with him for five years he had experienced seeing an abnormally flickering of lights in some places and he heard voices, some whisper and some screamed in horror.

"not." too lazy to tell him what happened he decided to read some emails.

Inside the condo 301.

"Sleeping again my baby?" looking at her red face from her non stop crying he can't help but sympathize her but she doesn't need that,

thinking what could he help her 'maybe she need a hug, a kiss or a cuddling while sleeping?' looking at her innocent baby like sleeping face he blushed. "Do you remember how you kissed me? though I'm already a ghost?" whispering to her ears Jolie didn't wake up but felt very comfortable like it was a lullaby to her get more sleep like when she was still breathing. "What can I do? I feel so uncomfortable. ugh" looking at her neck, he gulp, feeling so hot and thirsty.

He used to lean there when they we're sleeping together.

Yes,when she wasn't aware he was there.

"umhnm.. pervert. umn."
