My First Love

Chapter 1

"Like flecks of light, you disappear from my sight , and I don't know when you will light up the darkness..again."

Alex Murray muttered to himself.

His tragic love song was complete and ready for the world to enjoy. However, something just didn't seem right, it never did.

'Her' silhouette was long gone from his side. It has been 8 years since a young girl he called " Maisy " was tortured brutally by the forces of an unknown kidnapper by the name of 'X.Y.X.' at Alex's basement, which he had since abandoned and left in the ruins.

The nightmares still run through Alex's head repeatedly.

That illusion of Maisy crying out in pain, battering at the straps with her forearms,

that of the needles piercing deeper and drawing blood, but Maisie was too far gone to notice it,

Her every instinct forced her to fight this unseen enemy, to escape these bonds, to run free once again,

but to fail, scrambling on the cold hard  floors, stained in her own blood without an ounce of humanity left in her.

How he wished that he could have saved his first love, but he was brainwashed and couldn't think clearly. He had only some reminisce of that week. The rest of those nightmares are locked away in his mind prison. Far and deep, but.. retrievable.

" Alexx, are you done already? We're going to be late for our photoshoot!"

A voice resounded in the cold air. Rather harsh weather for such a cheerful careless sound right?

That was his current girlfriend, Joanne Lewis. 24 years of age, Supermodel and Reality TV star.

She was the typical kind girl that aren't famous for anything but having long blonde hair and perfect sky blue eyes, the type that Alex despised, but was yet attracted to.

He just wanted to play them, like a toy, and then throw them in the trash bin when he turned bored of their bullshit.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming." He replied.

He wasn't anything less, he was an A- lister singer and an underwear model who had a notorious reputation in the media for being a playboy.

But that was what attracted all the ladies. He loved the neglect them, and that made him different.

Crazy rich people.

At the photo studio

" Yess Alex!!  Pose, sideview, strut, wink!! We are going to earn big bucks from this Vogue cover, darling!' said his overly affectionate and probably gay photographer, James Chew.

Joanne frowned.

Whenever she had a media event with her new boyfriend, all the attention and love was showered on him and never on her. I guess that was one of the disadvantages of having a celebrity boyfriend.

"Okayy everyone, it's done, thank you for your time Alex and Jane, we wish you a long and prosperous relationship!"
James exclaimed as he skipped back to his office to edit Joanne's face.

"It's Joanne!!" Joanne screamed. She was sick and tired of James forgetting her existence. She wanted some attention too!

"Let's go, don't make a fuss here." Alex held her by the shoulder and walked her out.

"Mr and Mrs Murray, please hold on!" A voice called out.

Alex turned his head to see a young man with eyes that were the green of fresh dew glinting in the sunlight off a leaf of green emerald, like Maisie's.

His lips were thin and smiley and his body was similar, pretty slender but yet toned.

"Yes, and who are you?" Alex questioned with a hint of familiarity. For some reason, he felt like he had known this man for forever.

" My apologies, I'm Li Chen, Mrs Murray's makeup and hair stylist. You forgot your bracelet."

Joanne grinned at the words 'Mrs Murray'. That was her dream name, and of course, her name-to-be.

"Li Chen, yes, thank you so much. Will you come to our house and become our private stylist?"

Joanne favoured Li Chen, he not only had amazing styling skills, he also seem very honest and respectful, but the most important thing was that he called her Alex's wife.

"Oh, we will offer housing accommodations, you can stay at our guest room, we have plenty of space there! Alex, he can stay with us right?" Joanne asked with a glint in her eyes.

"Sure. Why not?" Alex replied.

He wasn't exactly very pleased with Joanne's decision but since he planned to break up with her in a couple of weeks, he just went ahead and agreed.

Besides, it would be extremely interesting to be with someone who resembled Maisy, maybe Li Chen knows something about her.

"That's...I'm flattered Mrs Murray, when can I move in?"
