"You don't want love?" Frozen by his next question, I peered around to look at him.

"You do want love. That's why you're not in peace." He finished, smiling ear to ear now.

Something in me says that he's right. But why would I need love? I never had any when I had nothing and since I have everything now, why do I need it?

"Huh-uh, that's not how it is. Everyone needs love, no matter who you are. Your heart will always find for someone to fill it up. But when you don't get it, that's when you became lonely." He explained and I frowned at him.

"That's bullshit." I mumbled out the first thing that came out of my mind after processing his sentences. "I don't need love. Why do I need it? I am a famous billionaire, I....have everything around me."

"You sure you have everything? Perhaps, I heard like you just wishes to disappear away from your famous billionaire life. Was I wrong?" He clearly stated with sarcasm and I grunted out loud.

"You see here, I'm already exhausted with whatever happened tonight so if you want to find entertainment, there's so many out there. For now, leave me alone and good bye!" I sternly let him know and strolled past him.

"You're right. I can get whoever I want but tonight, I chose you." He calmly retorted and I took my turn to actually look at him. "Chose me for what?"

"Have you heard about a second chance in life? With a complete different set of living? Well...." He dragged on that 'well' and why am I feeling all shaky?

He peered around, showing his back on me as he continues. "....I will grant you one. The life with a complete different you. You will no longer be the infamous billionaire nor the center point of attention. You will be a nobody to everyone. You can take all your time to figure out yourself and you will get to have everything that you yearn all these years. You will get to be in peace. You will get to be in love."

"But...." He stopped for a second and took his time to turn over so that he could look at me. "....once you had it all at a time, you will no longer be a part of that life."

"T-This sounds ridiculous." After few minutes of intake, I had my regain back and I chuckled shortly. But on seeing his determine gaze on me, there's this huge part in myself that wanted to believe him.

He might be a reporter or journalist who has done a full background check on me and my past. That's why he seemed to know me inside and out, giving me this psychological effects. For an interview or latest flash news on me, I'm thinking this must be their jobs to do. To trigger me emotionally for their stupid prank news, I guess.

But just as much as I knew that this is a joke, a portion in myself were overwhelmed by begging for whatever he offered could be true so that I could get another chance to live and love all over again. Yet again, this is the reality and fantasies like this would only happen in movies.

"Say that you agree and I will make that happen by tonight." He stated calmly and I decided to play along, although I'm keen to see how far can this go.

"So....if I'm a nobody to everyone, then how....can I make out with peace and love?"

"A very good question. You see....when I grant you that life, you're no longer a human. You will have a full senses of accessibility from me and until you meet that one person that will change your life, your accessibility will be drained. Day by day, whenever you feel like falling in love with her, you will lose control over those senses you have one by one. And when the day of acceptance of love and peace in you happens, you will be returned to your old life with no memories of her."

"What? So what's the use of all this things if I'm going to end up with no memories of her?" I exclaimed, nearly thrilled.

"Hmm, that's a very good question too. But you see again, we can't always gain something for free. In order for you to gain something, you have to lose something. It's like giving and taking, so if I grant you another life, I should be taking something back in return. That's the rules to be fair on the scales, you know." He shrugged his shoulder, convincing his point.

"So what do you say?"

What can I say, if he's for real then I would gladly take the shot but speaking in terms of reality, I can never waste my time in this. But a single tiny bit in me begs to accept it and for the first time in my life, I'm giving in to something crazy. I'm already running along with disaster full life so what else could go worse?

"So it's a yes?" He urged.

"Would you stop reading my mind?" I groaned, my hand gripping on my hips in frustration as I feel like he's in the head. "Fine, I agree for whatever nonsense you had said. But one last question."

"How can I know that it's her? There's plenty of women out there and am I going to play fetch with all of them?" I ran my questions to him.

"That's two questions though." He chuckles and continued hereafter noticing my glare. "Okay. The answer is no, you won't do that. Or more like, you can't do that. Because you will be only visible to her eyes."

"What!" I shouted in shock. "What do you mean by that I will be only visible to her eyes?"

"That means, you will be invisible to everyone else except her. Got it?" I stared him with widen eyes. Me? Invisible? No, shit! I never knew that being a nobody to everyone means entirely ghosting away from everything I had.

I....I can't agree to this.

Just before I could came to my senses and deny whatever things I agreed too, he was already walking away, showing me his back while laughing, "Too late now, boy."

And when I was about to take a step forward to catch his pace, I felt myself blacking out. I lose control and when I prepared to get hurt by falling in unconsciousness, I felt my body floating as two sets of large arms groping me up. I wasn't fully out so I recognized them as they gently carried me to my car.

Two of my men nodded at someone behind and it was Sierra. She was about to climb in along me but I signalled them to close the door quickly, just before she could make it to the door handle and ushered my driver to ride away.

"Wait, honey!" That was the final squealed I heard of her and the car moved throughout the exit. I released a breath of relief and laid myself back on the car seat. My eye lids slowly drooping as I started to feel like biting down a bullet to ignore the upcoming overwhelming.

I guess, the liquor is finally wearing me off.

"....car....losing control....sir! " These words came in my ears faintly and one last bang on my head, I was in the black ocean.

*****

Adrian Reed Smith[Current night]

"It was due to the slippery road, your driver lose control and you met with a collision. That's why unfortunately you had to start your life from there." He read the next and I had my eyes in double sizes.

I had it all in my head and it's crystal clear now. So he was real that whole time and it was me who thought that he's just a joke.

"Oh my God!" I whispered, closing my mouth with one of my hand in utter disbelief on what had taken over my life.

"I can't believe it but I couldn't deny the fact that my life had been gone for six months either." I mumbled to myself with my eyes on the ground.

All happened to prove me that I do have someone to love and find peace. Thirty years of my life were ambushed on that six months and it is because of her. The woman must have made me the luckiest guy alive with her utmost affection and care, but right now, I felt like a nobody to her when she was everything to me on my past as I was the nobody to anyone else.

My vision got blurred and I blinked as I focused my gaze on the man in front me. "Why? W-Why do you have to choose me that night? Why am I the one to have all this? Why do I have to meet her? Why am I the one that she falls in love with? Why don't I have any memories that we had? Why does she have to hate me now?" I sobbed, landing on my knees yet tears prickled out of my eyes. Frustration, madness, belongingness and desperation consumed a toll in my emotions.

One of her sweet giggling covered my view like a reel, completely in slow motion as it provokes the strong feelings that derived in me.

"I love you, Love God." The confession that once she made jabbed in my brain cell and that was the last straw for me.

I love her. I love her so much that I wanted those memories I had with her. Here I go, admitting the feelings that had been pushed to bay and I had enough. I can't go on like this anymore.

"Please....please give me back those memories. Take me back to being that man which she loved. I don't care about my background or status....or esteemed or whatever things that I have. I just want to be the Love God that she needs. Even though I'm not going to remember a thing, I would be happily kept away knowing that another version of me will be loving her the way I wanted to." I riled up alike pleading, requesting one last chance for the Love God in me.

"I love doing all my first times with you." She said as she blushed red. I scooped her tighter in my arms while holding on to the blanket around us as I whispered, "I'm glad that I had it all and I promise, I will give you more preciousness like this." I let her know as I nuzzled our noses together.

She giggled, making my inside to cloud in delight and I cupped onto her rosy cheek to get my lips closer to hers.

I smiled at one of the cutscenes that I had with her which reformed in my brain again. "With all these money and fame, I got no peace and I knew....that my peace is her. I don't want to be the Adrian Reed Smith that she hates. I want to be the Love God that she loves dearly, so please....I'm begging you, take me away and return back the Love God." I breathed out looking in defeat, practically on bended knees while begging to return that Love God with two of my hands clasped together.

I heard him sighing, "That's quite a surprise to hear all of this from the Adrian Reed Smith. You have changed a lot and you're speaking your emotions off. I'm impressed, boy. I truly do. But....I'm afraid that I might not be able to help you for what have you requested."

His response was unbearable at the end and I almost felt like she will be no more mine. There will be no more love and peace for me.

"But...." I rushed my eyes up at him as he dragged on the 'but', lighting up the small hope in me. "....you can help yourself out." I frowned, not getting his words.

"How?"

"I don't know how. I just gave you the picture of how it starts so it's your turn now to find out the rest." He explained.

Before I could say something, he had his back on me like that night as he began walking away while shouting. "Good luck on that, young man!"

"Wait, wait!" I chased after him and luckily this time I don't feel like blacking out. "Thanks for everything you did." I thanked him sincerely, instead of probing him to give me the ways to get the Love God back. He literally rotated my whole perceptions and meaning of life in a blink.

"Who are you after all?" I told to myself as I hadn't even known that person. Not even his name.

He was so close to disappear behind that dark corner but unexpectedly, he stopped and turned around. "You already have my name."

"I....I don't have your name and I really haven't seen you before. I meant, except that night for sure. A-Are you some....sort of a God?" I replied and he looked away while chuckling.

Then, realization hit me.

"Love God?" I muttered and he smiled big. He bowed in courtesy while saying, "The one and only.", and he was no more there.

Hmm, so close to the ending now!
