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*

Why Did Everything Have To Be So Hard?

Aaron's meeting with Alistair trying to convince him to promote Bruce hadn't gone all that well so he was not in a good mood when Cameron came into his office.

He knew what was wrong immediately. "No luck?"

"None," Aaron said frostily. "Why he won't promote internally rather than bring in someone new, I'll never know. It doesn't seem like good business sense. Shouldn't you reward the people who serve you well?"

"I think so."

He dismissed Cameron's opinion instantly. Of course he would think that. He directly benefited from Aaron's policy of looking out for loyal employees.

Aaron wasn't seeking validation anyway. He knew his father was a rigid, inflexible man with outdated ideas. He didn't help the company grow nearly as much as Aaron had and yet he was always going on about how amazing his leadership was.
