When Emily turned 25, she found out she's terminally ill. Her parents did all they could for her, but she was beyond redemption. Money is not the problem, she's madly rich, one could easily see it from the flamboyant dressing to showing off her cars in style… But life can't be bought with money…

"One year more, I'm sorry, Miss Emily, but you've got just one more year to live," the doctor's voice echo in her ear as she opens the front door staggering inside the house.

Skin as pale, she reeks of alcohol. She's been like that for weeks. The report was a big blow on her little ego.

"Surely she's not prepared to die now, is she?" Her mother's voice echoed at the sight of her climbing up the stairs to her room. But she heard her mom loud and clear.

Weeks pass and she came to terms with reality. She's going to die in a year from now, or no! Less than a year, actually.

Three weeks have already passed since she got the report, so is less than a year. But who is counting?

She decided to take a break from work and tour the world. Enjoying life to its fullness is her new goal.

"See the world before my time runs out," She screams in her head.

She was hoping to fall in love. "Just a little taste of love, and I will die a happy woman. Oh! No, I'm not even close to being a woman!" She mumbled to herself before packing up her bag.

She stares at her butt and boobs in the mirror. "How come no man has touched them?" she wondered.

Now she's going to die with all of that endowment, huh! She looked at herself one last time in the mirror, adjusting her boobs, she sigh in frustration…

"I think I'm going to die a virgin," a tiny voice speaks in her head, followed by a drop of tear from her eyes.. She never thought she would leave everything behind so soon.

Emily steps out of the house with her luggage. She waves her parents goodbye and throws her bag into the boot of her car..

Never told her parents where she was heading, she drove out of the compound and into the street.

"Emily, calm down. Everything will be fine. You still have one more year to live." Her mind seems to be on a roller coaster with thoughts of her dying..

Been the only daughter of a rich wealthy parent, Emily could be considered a spoilt brat.

She's the CEO of Wendy Group of Companies, she has no friends, not even a lover to mourn her when she dies…. Cush!! How terrible!

Now every single thing she has done wrong. Especially to her, workers started flashing right through her mind as she drives out of town.

"Shit! Shit!" was the banging on her car steering as tears roll down her face.

"You are heartless, you are so cruel, no man is going to marry you, you spoiled little brat!, how can you be this wicked?" she heard all the voices of the people she has maltreated echoing in her ears all at once..

Damn! You got to cut her some slacks here. She's the CEO, for God's sake. She has the right to shout on her workers, right? And anyone for that matter.

Yeah, right? But not the one she asks her assistant, Sophia, to lick her shoes in front of all her workers just because she mistakenly steps on it.

"You will never see me again! You little spoiled brat!" The angry voice of Sophia echoed in her ear. It was just like yesterday, as she could still foresee Sophie walking out on her in anger.

The voices echoed so loud that she has to cover her ears with both hands. "No! Stop! Stop it!!!" she yells inside the car and almost lost control..

"I'm not going to let this get the better part of me. I will make the most out of my fu*king remaining months!…" She yells.

Getting back control, she pull the car right back to the road, driving on high speed… about an hour drive or so. Then comes that sign…

Presidential lounge.

It was written boldly on the signpost. Though she's not the daughter of the current president and she knew what the signpost said, but what is there to be afraid of? She's dying anyway, she can as well spent money recklessly if she wants.

"Sorry, ma'am, but this hotel is just for the presidency and royalty. We already have an important guest in our hotel today. You may want to check the next hotel. "

"What?"

The old critter in her wanted to be awakened, but she has to exercise caution.. She has promised herself to be good to people no matter who they are.. Not after she learnt that she has a little time to live. She wants to treat people right this time. She has heard that people who do bad things and treat others wrong have a place in hell when they die.

Nothing fears Emily more than ending up in a place like that.

She's used to living the good life, so she wants to continue it when she gets there.

Thinking of it now, she has never been to church in her life, but she could as well be good to people.

Faking a smile at the politely kind receptionist was the hardest thing she has ever done in her entire life.. "You are doing good, Emily," the voice in her head congratulate her.

Is not in Emily's DNA to smile at a low life like her, and even proceeding to say. "Thank you" before turning around to leave.

"Damn it!" clutching her fist, she turned to go back to her car, but the resistance in front of her was so strong, like the rock of ages.

Collision!

She wanted to yell at him but smiles instead.. "Sorry sir," she even bent over to pick his dark eyeglasses that fell off his hand as a result of the collision.

"Is fine" he gently took the sunglasses from her while his eyes were fixed on her.

"Leo, my name is Leo Isaac" He stretches his hand to shake her..

"I'm Emily" was all she say almost in a whisper, without taking his hand shake, she didn't know why she had to talk to him in the first place.

He bumps into her for goodness' sake, and she's the one to apologize?. She didn't see that happening in this lifetime.

"Care for a drink, Emily?" he asked with a smile.

"Oh, no, I'm leaving anyway,"

"Is fine, I reserved the whole place for today and tomorrow. "

Emily's eyes almost turning red.. Who did he think he is, huh? Booking the whole hotel for himself!

"No thanks" she took two steps away from him..

"I insist" his voice echoed behind her and she turned swiftly to see him smiling with that beautiful set of white teeth..

"Um, no harm in trying," she tilted her head to one side..

"Yeah, I insist" he repeated..

"Okay" Walking behind him, she hopes he can grant her that one wish before she finally leaves this world and is seen no more.

She hopes for a split second that this gentleman walking in front of her will magically fall in love with her and make her feel like a woman for once in her life.

"He seems like a nice guy," she muttered, still walking behind him.

But like with the speed of light, her hope was shattered as this pale looking woman was all over him, carrying two glass cups of wine in both hands.

She's tiny and looking a lot pale, maybe because of too much makeup and bleaching or whatever, but she's beautiful though. She's almost the same age as Emily's mum..

"Leo, where have you been? I look all over the place for you. Who's she?" the pale looking woman ask handing him one glass cup..

"Thank you" He turned back and glance at Emily.

"Um.. She's my guest" He smiled at her, but Emily just stood there staring at them, the way they giggle and their body language giving them away as lovers.

"Guest?" the woman asks with a horrifying stare.

Emily could tell that she didn't want any guest.

"Maybe she's his wife," Emily mumbled underneath her breath, feeling somewhat disappointed.

The way the woman held Leo, curling around him like lovers, Emily just knew…

"I almost have some hope," she muttered.

"You know we don't need extra guest, especially not her!" the woman whispered in Leo's ear, but it was loud enough for Emily to hear her.

Leo turned around to look at Emily when the woman said that..

"Mom stop, she can hear you, and besides, she's just my guest," he whispered back..

"What! Mom?" the hairs in Emily's body almost stood attention. She subconsciously hit her head for thinking dirty thoughts about mother and son.

"You know Zara is waiting for you. She's in the upper room. Be good to her," the woman whispered to Leo and again, Emily could hear her..

Leo turned to face Emily. Walking closer, he gently held Emily's hands while speaking to his mother. "Mom, I will go to Zara when my guest is comfortable. "

"What! No, I will take care of your guest" she grab Emily's hand, dragging her away from Leo..

"Mom, please stop!"

"Is fine, just go to Zara.  I will make your guest comfortable," with that she dragged Emily away to another room..

"You see, tomorrow is my son's engagement party. We reserved this whole hotel just for that purpose and you are not going to ruin it," She yells at Emily, taking her by surprise..

"What?"

Before Emily could say another word, the woman put forth her finger.. "Don't say a word. I'm not finished"

Emily swallowed, blinking at the woman in surprise..

"My son Leo is engaged to get married to the daughter of the wealthiest man in town. By standard, she is royalty and we are royalty. So you see? They fit each other perfectly. But my second son Alex is available, you can have him.".

"Huh?" Emily was dumbstruck. She thought she had never seen a woman that was crazy like her..

"Hold on, don't say a word" she rushed out of the room and back with the most handsome guy Emily has ever seen.. Surely, he's more handsome than the first guy, but not quite gentle.

"Be good to her," the woman said and pushed the door closed behind Alex..

"Crazy, huh?" the handsome guy asked Emily with a smile.

He has a pointed nose, broad shoulders, masculine chest. Emily was sure that he never misses a gym, and she quickly turned back to look behind her if he was really asking her that..

He smirked at her and walked slowly, dangerously towards her.

Her heart missed a few beats. She felt the air inside the room getting thinner and thinner. She felt like suffocating even though the ACs were on.

"Are you okay?" he asked her.

"Huh? Me? Yes, yes I'm fine,"

Alex smiled, his eyes scanned her within seconds. He likes what he's seeing, but one thing is off though.

What did his mother want him to do with her?

She should know that this girl is human. They are not supposed to have anything to do with the humans.

Maybe his mom was in a hurry that she couldn't think straight.

Looking at this girl, Alex knew she can't survive one night in Geoff Town, she would be meat.

"How did you get here?" Alex ask curious to know what a beautiful girl like her was doing in Geoff Town alone, and worse of all, in a hotel like this?

"Huh? I-I, I mean, your b-brother, he invited me in," she stammered, seeing the way he looked at her.

"Is fine, you can relax" he sat down first to make Emily feel relaxed.
