Chapter 1 - Dark aura

In a lavish office on the 40 floor of a building sat a man in the president's chair.it was quite inside, except for the tapping sound of typing coming from the laptop.He was going through all the emails that required his attention.

"Michael,I think your work is more important than me,you barely have time for me" comes the painful voice of Jane.Black hair and blue eyes,tall and beautiful.

Jane and Micheal have been engaged since five years,they have been childhood friends as both parents are friends,but Michael decided to ask her out on her 22 years birthday.He breathed out a long sigh while massaging the space between his brows with his right hand

" i asked you not to stay back Jane,I am making sure that there won't be anything which will need my urgent attention during my business trip" Michael said with a frown on his face,he hates explaining himself.

" What,you are going for another business trip and I just heard it now"

she speak angrily "Michael, I am your fiance,we are going to spend the rest of our lives together,if you continue with work like this you won't be able to give your family time properly" she pointed out as she angrily worked out of the office.she clearly had enough.

Reaching for his phone,he placed a call

" make sure your young miss gets home safely" said while hanging up. Turning his swiveling chair around,he looked at the skyline.

A memory of a certain someone came back to him

"Do you love the sky so much" he asked

"Why do you ask?" a famine voice asked

"Because you look up often and I wonder if you find it more interesting than me" he replied with a pout.

" Hahaha,what is that I hear in your voice? Are you jealous of the sky umm my big baby?" she said with a giggle.

Turning his voice away he refused to look at her or for her to see his face, till he heard her say

" don't be jealous my love, I love you so much and nothing and nobody can compare to you in my heart,just like the stars are above the sky my love for you is for eternity" she said with deep and sincere emotions. Micheal hugged her.

Glancing at the clock once again,he decided to head back to his house. He came out of the office and headed down to the parking lot using his personal elevator. He walked to his own parking place,got in his car and drove back to his place.

He was greeted by his Butler as he entered the place,He only nodded back to the old Butler in response as he continued walking to his room on the first floor,"Young Master should I serve dinner" ask the butler

"No. I am not hungry"he replied without stopping in his tracks.

Once inside his room,he took off his coat, throwing it in the laundry basket. He walked into his bathroom, getting rid of his remaining clothes,he stepped into the showering area. Washing off the entire day's tiredness,he stepped out taking a black towel from the rack, wrapped it around his waist. He took another one, drying his hair on his way out. He glanced at his reflection in the mirror,only to find a man with a slightly bronzed muscular body,a chiseled face with no stubble and deep ocean blue eyes and a head full of black,silky hair which were still a bit wet staring back at him.

Changing into his robe,he went to bed. Thinking about the argument he had with his fiance back in his office, he dialed her number after a few rings of no answer, he dropped his phone. Finally deciding to close his eyes,he drifted off to his Dreamland while thinking about his business trip.

—------------------

"Little pie wait" a sweet voice is heard. Her beauty was certainly refreshing than those of so many socialites.she was smiling like there was nothing to hide. What she felt in her heart was on her face, expressing those same thoughts without any filter.

She is chasing after an adorable small bum who was looking at her with log watery eyes. Excitement and happiness were clearly evident on his cute round face "hahaha Mummy catch me hahaha"giggle the little boy while running around the bathroom "No baby stay still,I will be late for work and aunt will be here any minute now " complain the girl with a pout, running behind the boy, trying to catch him. The boy giggled and then took a handful of water and threw it on the girl's dress. Clearly he was still in the mood to play. The girl was surprised,but she didn't get angry.she caught him,smiled and ruffled his hair. "Aunt will be mad,if we aren't done before she gets here babe and Mummy can lose her work, do you want that?" She said to the little boy while making a sad face "no Mummy, little pie will be a good boy. Little pie doesn't like Mummy sad" replied the small boy "ok baby let's bath you now, Mummy won't be sad anymore" she laughed as she responded to him. She obviously can't be mad at him.

After minutes later a figure entered the apartment "Clara I'm home" the figure said. Little ran out "Grandma" he shouted being very happy to see her. " Oh my baby,my little pie. Grandma misses you,oh what have my baby been eating you have grown so big?" The woman said as she tried carrying the boy up.

"Welcome aunt Maggie" Clara greeted her, giving her a side hug. Aunt Maggie looked at Clara "how are you my dear" she asked with a smile.

She has always seen Clara as her daughter since fate brought them together. At one point she asked Clara to call her mom which she politely declined as she found it awkward.

"I'm fine aunt Maggie,how was your trip?" she asked.

Aunt Maggie wants to visit the temple; she does that every once in a while. She stays there for days as she prays.

"It was fine dear,you off to work?" she replied and asked her as Clara was all dressed up. " Yes aunt,I have made breakfast,just heat it up again and eat and I have given little pie his medicine,he had a mild headache earlier" she kept talking until aunt Maggie touched her shoulder to stop her " are you okay Clara?" She asked her with a concerned voice . "Yes aunt I'm fine" she answered " Clara,I will take over from here, go to work or you will be late" she said to her calmly with a motherly voice. Clara smiled as she kissed her son on the forehead before she handed for the door as she waved at them. She doesn't understand why she's been feeling nervous since morning. "Bam" smile slipped from aunt Maggie's lips as the door closed. She senses a dark aura around her. She can only pray to give her the strength to face whatever it is that is coming.
