ALEXANDER'S P.O.V I can't believe these nightmares had haunted me for twelve years, how could it be that I have never seen the girl who saved my life, or is something really wrong with me? I wondered. My mind is so blown up whenever I think about her, the way we spoke before separating. Thinking about it made me regret why I had not taken her name, this is the worst thing that has ever happened to me, and it makes me sad to know that I have not met with her after such a long time, it is aching to know that I barely have a swift image of her. But then, her laughter had echoed in my mind for all these years, her million-dollar smile flashed as usual, but was now a faint image that lingered in my mind, haunting me like nightmares. Yesterday, I was shocked when I had spoken to Kelly Hepburn, at first, I only noticed her from the daily reports being brought to me, and her name filled the top page. She does not only do her job as an Electonic consultant, but she also has good marketing skills, and her commercial goals spark the company's sales. I was so much engrossed with talking to her, convinced that her pretty face matched the one to my dream girl, the lady I have been searching for, but I couldn't see find it, not when something had pulled my attention. It was the diamond bracelet I had offered the young lady who had saved my life twelve years ago. I had offered it to her as a souvenir, to trace her down someday, but now, I don't seem too convinced that Jennifer really owns it. Yesterday, I had asked her about the bracelet, but she had brushed the question aside. In order to satisfy my urge, I had asked her to be my girlfriend. I don't know why I had said that, but it had just happened that way. A knock on my big brown door jerked me to consciousness as I noticed I was still at work. "Come in," I muttered gently. I didn't know who it was, but then I saw the red-haired girl entering my office, a small smile curled my lips. "Good evening Mr. Hanks," she greeted sweetly. Closing the door behind her, Jennifer walked seductively close to me. There is no doubt that she is beautiful, and her skinny figure made me want to ask if she was on some sort of therapy, or just abstained from food to look this skinny. Jennifer had dark brown eyes and was about 168cm, so I think. Her feet were on stilettos, and she dressed as if she was going to seduce a man and not to work. She was clad in a high waist gown that cut across her thighs, she didn't wear a bra so her n*****s printed on the light fabric of her clothes. It happened to be a gown with spaghetti hands, and it was straight just as her shape was with no bounding curved to it. "Please, Call me Alexander, you can cut the formalities, you know," I said gently. Hearing this, she pushed up a small smile at the corners of her lips as she walked towards me. Kissing me lightly on my cheek, she asked lightly, "How is my boyfriend doing?" Jennifer's voice was ragged to my ears, it didn't soothe me at all, but I still manage to respond. "I am alright. How are you?" I asked. She sat at the center of my desk, and as she lifted her right hand, she brushed my shoulder with it. Immediately, I grabbed her wrist holding firmly the bracelet in it. Touching it lightly, I placed it on my lips kissing it tenderly. Lifting my head to face Jennifer, I asked her sweetly, "Who gave you this bracelet?" This time, I expected her to reply to me, I searched her face to see if they are any signs of truth in it, from the way in which she stared at me with off brown eyes, there was a hue of pain in them. "Someone gave it to me," she replied. For the first time in my life, there was a shade of happiness in my eyes, I closed my eyes, and placed another kiss on Jennifer's wrist. I was convinced that she was the one. "It is six p.m. already, what about we retire home for dinner, I will love to show you o my parents if you do not mind of course," she said. At this moment, nothing mattered to me at all and nodding positively, I was happy to accompany her to the other end of the world. She saved me when my wicked uncle had ganged up against me, so there is nothing I owe her now other than to do her bidings. Standing from my office chair, I grabbed her waist firmly and carried her down, she chuckled, and it didn't rhyme with the one I had in my head, I didn't mind of course. One hour later, I parked in front of Jennifer's house, she said she lived with her parents, and that was all, so I had made sure she called earlier to let her parents know that we were coming. Opening the good, I hurriedly swirled around the car to help her out. She happily led the way to her house. It was a one-story building, and the lights on meant that they were people at home. An elderly man opened to door for us, and as he gave space for us to enter, he introduced himself, "Welcome, my name is Mr. Neil Harper, and I guess you are Mr. Alexander, my daughter's boyfriend," he said stretching his hand for a handshake. I accepted it while saying, "Yes, I am, I am glad to be here tonight," As we introduced ourselves, I saw a red hair lady leave a room with food and placed it on the dining table, seeing me, she smiled warmly. "You are welcome, Sir Hanks," As Mr. Harper led the way, I received the shock of my life when a petite femme entered the room with a bowl in her hand. Lifting her square chin, she placed her eyes on me, it was the girl from yesterday__ Kelly Hepburn. Immediately she saw me, the bowl of sauce in her hand slipped and broke into millions of pieces, splashing the sauce on her body. She ran out of the room in humiliation. Staring at Jennifer, I asked her immediately, "Who is she to you?" "My nerd and stupid head cousin," she spat in disgust. "What?" I asked not believing my ears. Kelly is Jennifer's cousin? how on earth is that possible? I wondered.
