Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Fateful Encounter

Looking down from the Hill, Simon saw a red BMW driving along the rough old path towards the village sawmill in great difficulty. The road has been neglected for a long time because no one in the village, had enough cash to repair the road since the locals have meagre resources to survive and their representative at the government house including the Sheriff were corrupt and greedy for their own selfish gains.

Simon started his descent down the hill through the thick forest and he laughed as he continued to watch the car moving along the path having potholes around it. Then suddenly there was a loud noise which disturbed the resting birds on the trees making them fly away to farthest mountains. He stopped to see what had ignited the noise and saw that the owner had come outside squatting close to the flat tyre.

The owner turned out to be a brown-haired woman in her late twenties, who wore a white suit covering her red inner dress and a black trouser with stylish red heels. The suit was well fitted to her body which enhanced her pretty skin and had a fancy golden wristwatch on her right arm. She looked at the tyre and saw that it has been punctured by a sharp nail that was inserted on a wood, with its sharp end pointed upwards, that was lying close to the car.

"Damn it, how can I get to the meeting now?", she asked herself and said looking frustrated at her watch, "The meeting will commenced thirty minutes later and I am apparently stuck right here moreover, I didn't carry a spare tyre with me..... I think I'll have to leave the car here, take the car keys and enter a cab that will take me there..... But the problem is I don't know where to find one ",

At that moment, Simon, who had come out of the forest a little distance from where she was, met her standing and said,

" Hello, it seems you are having trouble figuring out how to fix the car tyre ",

"Yes I am, and I urgently need to be in an important meeting right now", she replied staring frustratingly at the flat tyre preventing her from looking at Simon when she heard him.

"Do you know where I can find a cab around here?", she inquired still staring at the tyre,

"Yes I do, but there aren't no cab here. You can only find tri-cycle and motorcycle around here since the locals here, uses this as public transport", he answered,

"Okay, but how do I get...", she said and stopped halfway as she saw Simon for she was taken aback by the gorgeous sight of Simon even though he wasn't wearing fancy clothes, his body statue was fashionably shaped in a unique way that enhanced his handsome face,

".... I'm...well.... as I was saying, can I get a.....", she shyly struggled to regain her speech,

"You do mean a tri-cycle, right?", Simon completed with a bright charming smile across his face which almost melt her inside,

"Yes, that's right", she chuckled, "Do you know where I can find one? Because I am running late right now so please tell me?", she said nervously trying to composed herself and then, checked her watch again which read a quarter past ten.

"Yes I do, kindly walk towards the end of this road where you will find a cross road, then you can signal an empty tri-cycle with your arm", he replied again with a cute smirk on his handsome face for he knew that his seductive charms seems to affect her, "And the fare is quite affordable for a pretty as well as fancy lady like you", he added with another cute smile on his face.
