Run, Girl (If You Can)

Keeley, a simple plain Jane, hits the jackpot. [No, she did not win the lottery!] At least that's what she thinks when she marries the most eligible bachelor in New York City: Aaron, a wealthy cold-hearted heartthrob and Tycoon. She wants to show the world that she deserves her position and bends over backward to fit into his world. One beautiful day, Aaron hands her a document asking her to sign. A divorce paper... "She's pregnant, and I need to take responsibility." That is the last thing that keeps on playing in her mind before she takes her last breath. Keeley dies, a 'hit and run'. [End of story. Not!] For some unexplainable reason, she wakes up as her younger self. A young high school girl, around the time when she first meets her cheating husband. Remembering her life with Aaron before she died, she makes a promise to herself that she will do everything in her power to avoid him at all costs. Will she be able to keep her promise when Aaron has his own plans as well, specifically for her? Or will she repeat history and fall for him once more... Why not journey with me and find out the truth behind their story. *Cover art by polkadottedscrunchie*

Keeley's idea hung off into space for a minute while Aaron thought it over.

"You know, Cameron actually suggested something similar. He thinks that the target might be my father, not me. Since he knows about my plan and gave me something that will move it along faster," he said finally.

"That would totally make sense! I mean, it doesn't explain what happened in our first life but it would explain why he's kept our secret."

Aaron was a high-profile person within the city. Everybody knew his name but not his face. News of his marriage had been a huge deal the first time around. The fact that it hadn't leaked out yet probably meant that Graydon Meyer had no intention of saying anything.

If Alistair Hale was his enemy rather than Aaron, discovering the plot to overthrow his father must have been a pleasant surprise. Helping Aaron instead of hurting him would be a simple thing to do if they were working against the same person.
