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…

Keeley was working on a homework assignment on her computer when she needed to go to the bathroom. Upon her return to the table, Molly had taken her spot and was sprawled across the keyboard. "Come on, I was using that," she complained. "Move, kitty!" She tried nudging the cat to no avail. Molly had turned into a statue. Frustrated, Keeley was about to pick her up and move her by force when a pair of arms wrapped around her from behind. Aaron was home. He slumped over and buried his face in her…

The room became deadly silent as the implications of what Aiden said set in. Graydon Meyer, more likely than not, was the one who sent him the shares. The man who Aaron was fairly certain had worked with Lacy Knighton to kill his wife. Why would he do this? And calling himself 'a friend'? This didn't make sense at all! "Isn't he that tech guy?" Cameron asked, looking to his boss in confusion. "He's an enemy," Aaron said icily. "He works with Lacy. This seems like a threat to me." If Graydon…

"It's still early," Aaron noted, checking the time. It wasn't even late enough to have dinner yet. "What do you want to do?" "Well first I want to get all this makeup and hair product off," Keeley admitted. "Then maybe we could watch a movie or something." That worked for him. Based on her sleeping patterns lately, there was a 92% chance she would fall asleep during it and he wouldn't have to finish watching. He left her to take her shower while he got changed out of his tuxedo and purple tie that…

Once the wedding ceremony itself ended, everyone sort of sat around talking and eating the same kind of cake Keeley had loved from Jennica's wedding rather than participating in any traditional reception activities. There weren't enough people. As a joke, Keeley purposely handed her bouquet to Valentina, the only unmarried/unengaged female present. Her eyes twinkled gleefully. "This means I'll get married soon, right? It worked for you!" "That's true, I totally forgot you caught the bouquet at my…

The yacht stopped once it was far enough away from the marina and that was everyone's cue to go upstairs. The only people actually participating in the ceremony were Aaron, Keeley, her father, and the minister. Everyone else was only there to watch. Keeley found herself left alone with her dad after all of her girlfriends patted her back or otherwise encouraged her on their way out. She had been terribly nervous about this moment because they hadn't been alone since she told him she was pregnant and…

Jennica came over to pick Keeley up bright and early to help her get ready for her big day. She didn't feel awake enough for this but let her friend poke and prod her face without making a peep of protest. It was better to get it over with without complaining. Her friend kept the makeup simple but beautiful, using an eye shadow palette that would bring out the gold in her brown eyes to her best advantage. Keeley's hair was manipulated into a half-up, half-down curly style that complimented her hair…

The day before the wedding Keeley invited her out-of-state friends over for a dinner she insisted on cooking herself even though she was exhausted from just finishing midterms. Aaron wanted to have it catered because of how tired she was but she put her foot down. Lydia, Jeffrey, and their significant others were normal people and she was going to do this the normal way. That being said…it was incredibly awkward when they showed up because both of Keeley's friends were obviously trying to hide their…

Graydon Meyer could not believe his luck. He was checking out a new bakery near NYU for a much deserved treat after dealing with that wretch Lacy barging into his office on his lunch break. It wasn't far from the Flatiron District and his employees had been raving about it for weeks. Who did he run into but the woman in Aaron's life in a struggle with another man! He was quite concerned she was doing something untoward until she explained that it was a former friend who took too many liberties since she…

Because Aaron was still working when Keeley got out of class at 2 PM, he got his driver to pick her up and take her home every day. She had nearly forgotten he even had one since he so rarely utilized his services. One day about a week before her wedding, she was waiting at the edge of the parking lot when someone grabbed her arm from behind. "What—" the words flew right out of her mouth when she saw who it was. Ryan. What was he doing here? Shouldn't he be at work? "You quit your job," he…
