1 Chapter 1 The first meet

With the glowing jewel that lit before her eyes, she slowly takes off the ring she holds so dear. Slowly taking it off, she sees engraving inside the ring. Giving a kiss, she then put it inside a box before leaving it inside a drawer alongside a phone. Wiping her tears in her eyes, she took a deep breath before continuing fidgeting and shaking as the camera was adjusted by a beautiful lady. She was then looking at the camera on her computer. With no makeup or anything special on, she looked at the camera. There was no chat or streaming going on. There wasn't even anyone there on the computer. The one and only audience she wanted to listen to her speech was herself.

"Hi me...this is my story for you. It all began in May 2020 upon a bright morning...

Ring Ring Ring

He opened his eyes as he heard the alarm of his phone ring. Though he was going to grab it, he realized the phone wasn't next to him. It was on the opposite side of the room and didn't want to go grab it. But the ring was annoying, so he had to go to it. Surprisingly, he was sleeping on his desk and didn't even realize he was as he slid down his chair just to collapse on the floor. Thinking it was too much work to get up he rolled to his phone. The phone was on top of his bed, and he was trying to use his arms to grab it. However, he still couldn't reach it. Eventually, on the carpet floor, he was getting sleepy again. His hand that was starting to grab the phone was soon slowly going to the floor. The alarm was still going off yet as he kept lying on the floor he slowly closed his eyes to go back to sleep. The man stayed up all night so he eventually dozed off again, feeling slightly in a comfortable spot; he then just got the sensation to go to sleep again. Little did he know what was said on the alarm. It was his job that he had been working for 2 years already. And he was late, again....

A few hours later.

Ring ring there was another ring from the phone only this time it was a different sound. The person was still half dazed and although still tired was a lot more awake compared to before. This time he was able to climb on top of his bed to be able to open his phone. He notices that after looking at the phone he notices that it was his coworkers who were calling him. Although he didn't want to talk on the phone as he was still tired, he still answers the call anyway. Putting it on speakerphone he slowly tries to get extra sleep.

"Hwallo?" He said as he couldn't even say the proper words out.

"Hey!!!! Where are you?!!! You were supposed to be here two hours ago." The coworker said as she was yelling at him to get up. This alerted the guy as he instantly got a surge of motivation to get up. He then checked the time as he saw it was 11:43 he was supposed to be at work at 10 and the time it took for him to get there were twenty minutes.

"I'll be there soon!!!" Hanging up the phone he quickly ran to get changed. Fortunately, he didn't have too many clothes. Also, he has a studio making sure that everything was there. He just got the jacket, pants, and shoes and he just dipped out the door. He then slowly went back as he got his glasses, phone wallet, and keys before he dipped out the door again. Slowly rushing back he then grabbed some papers for his job. Finally, he had everything ready before he could go to work.

With haste, he got into his car. He was already going a little bit over the speed limit but he was still trying to be a good driver nonetheless. However, after about ten minutes he went slower and was driving within the speed limit as he knew he was already late so there was no risk to take the drive fast. Stopping at a red sign he was spectating the people who were driving in the streets. Haaa... he sighed that he was late to work again. It's not like he was purposely trying to be late for work. But sometimes when he is working on things he wants to do, sometimes it really does take priority over work. Especially when he is young. His time is running out and he can't waste it. He then grabbed his phone as he was looking at the text he got from some of his friends. There was a group message that was talking about some stuff. Everyone started to wake up and was posting messages about when to get online and when to meet up again. The message was then saying to meet at 6 o'clock so that they could get started early as it was important that everyone meet. Seeing this he then messaged a thumbs up that was confirming he was going to be there. He then let the phone drop as he was getting back on the road. Being ten minutes away it wasn't that bad. But he knew for sure that he was going to get a mouth full again.

As he was waiting for the red light to turn green, he still looked around the crowd as every one of them was young and enjoying life. It was amazing for him to say that as well as he was 21. Coming from a normal family he didn't have the luxury of some of the kids here. Going shopping and not having to work to keep a stable job in Silicon city which was the biggest center of technology in US. Some of these people were bringing their lover out to go shopping with money they never have to work for. That is the life for some of them. Though for him, he thought these people were the worst kind of people as they really don't have a direction in life and really should be taught a lesson. For him, that was why he was feeling that if he ever had to meet such individuals he would just look away as they don't understand the hardships that they will have to face. They were in a world that he will never be interested in. What he wants is something even more special that money can't buy.

Waiting for the stoplights to change he then noticed two unfortunate souls that were carrying loads of bags that he had ever seen. Seeing this he looked to see who was the scumbag treating their workers so savagely. However, what he saw was something he didn't expect. With sparkles, he saw this amazing pale white lady with a beautiful outfit. She had long straight dark hair with golden highlights. The lady had a slender figure with beautiful long legs. With the perfect oval face and beautiful brown eyes, it was as though everything was perfect about her. Something was amazing about her, he just doesn't understand why. For some reason, everything was slow when looking at her. This was the second time in his life he felt like his whole world was beautiful. She was walking with a lady next to her right and a guy to the left who was carrying all the shopping bags. Those two weren't important but he looked at her and couldn't believe what he had seen. There was a rich girl he thought was pretty. Beep a car behind him that stunned him as he quickly went back to driving. Then he touched his head as he wondered. Is he crazy? He shook his head as he needed to get his head straight. He had a goal right now and this must have been a fluke. Beside it was a one chance meeting, there was no way they would meet again. First priority now is getting to the work or else he would really get fired for sure.

A few hours ago

The lady had woken up as of ten o'clock today. This seems to be a normal time that most would wake up. However, that wasn't her, she usually likes to wake up at noon. For her, it was because she prefers to go to a club and go out for a drink with her friends. They would go party till 4 and wouldn't go home till six. Since that was the case she was having a hard time waking up. Yet this time it was because her father was insistent on having her go to a business meeting.

"Madam it is time to wake up." A maid said as she went to open the door. Then there were other maids that had come in as well as each of them was there for a specific purpose. They waited for about ten minutes to see if she would get up. Yet for that long, she ignores them as she tries to go back to sleep. Seeing this the maid then went up to the bed as she bowed. "Please forgive me for my rudeness." She said as she then kept nudging her. This eventually irritates her to no end.

"Alright, I get it already!!!! Just stop!!" She said as she got rid of the blanket. The maid didn't say anything and just lowered herself to put the slippers on the floor. The lady then moved to put the slippers down as she then walked to the bathroom. Going to the restroom she went to take a shower. At the same time, one maid would go in and grab the clothes she was wearing just to be cleaned. The maids then would go and grab the next set of stuff that includes makeup, blow dryers, phone, towel, and..... underwear for her to wear. The next moment that happened the maids instantly went to work as they had then put the stuff on the table as each one was doing one specific task. Each one has been doing this almost every day so the coordination was amazing to see. As she went out of the shower she then stood still as a maid put on the bathrobe. It was amazing to see how lazy she was as there was one person who was in charge of brushing her teeth, another one with helping her to rinse her mouth. At the same time, there was one person that was doing her hair. At the same time, there was a maid that was also presenting her with clothes to wear. They would choose all the nice sets of clothes and show it. If she didn't nod to it the maid would then put that away. Once she decides on the one that she wants the maid would then iron it to make sure there weren't any wrinkles. However, if she didn't like it they would just throw it away. So after describing all this what was the point of describing all of this. This shows that she was incredibly spoiled. But that was the family that she lived in. Her family was a conglomerate that was insanely rich. That meant despite the efforts of the father it was hard to not spoil the daughter. In her view, she had everything in the world. Didn't strive for everything as her life was for her to enjoy as there was nothing that needed to be pursued. Lover or not wasn't important as being herself was all that mattered.

Like a perfect machine, Bella was surrounded with maids as she was perfectly-becoming an artwork as she now went from waking up to stunning beauty. Then the accessories would be brought to her to see what she wanted to wear. They would present whole care of accessories for here to see. Once she chose the ones that she wants, the maids would nod and personally put them on for her. After all, that was done then she was able to see the phone.

"Haaaa so why do I have to wake up early again?" The lady said as she was looking at her text messages that were going on. She then handed the phone to the maid to take a picture of her when everything was complete to post it on her social media. She would check it to make sure it looked good of course.

"Milady, your father is asking you to go to his place to see if we should invest in this company. They have a company for about four years and have been growing as of late."

"Why do I have to go? There is no point in me going when I'm not the one that is leading the company?" She then got up and went downstairs to get some food. She didn't want to be there as she has no interest in business nor anything related to work. There were new designer products that were coming out and she really wanted to go buy them.

"Your father wants you to go there to see how things are done. There is no need for you to say anything. The presentation is only for an hour and he said you may leave after that." The maid said. As she walked behind her.

"An hour?!! Can't Selene go in my place?" she asked as she didn't want to go. For her wasting, her time listening to a presentation for an hour was equivalent to trying to spend an hour in prison. Meaning for her it was equivalent to suffering. Not to mention she has a head maid who is the most intelligent and is the one that helps deal with the day to day operations of the mansion. And this was a big mansion so it can tell how good she was along with dealing with her in the morning. Speaking of head maid it was the name she mentioned that appeared at the right time with the right words. Selene.

"Sorry, but your father wants you there. And if you don't he will cancel all your credit cards for a week." Walking with gentle steps Selene gently bowed. With brown hair and with more of a serious-looking face. Although she is beautiful, she has more of an intellectual feel to her. Selene was in charge of taking care of her especially when the father is not home. So Selene who has been here for a long time was able to know how to get her to work. This then stopped the lady as she couldn't live without those credit cards. That's what she used to buy stuff for crying out loud.

"He wouldn't dare?!!!"

"He has it on speed dial." Although showing a rather emotionless face there was a smirk in the corner of Selene's face. They both stared at each other for a while before she finally gave in.

"Finnnnnneee. I'll go." Wanting to eat her favorite crepes, her taste bud soon faded quickly. She then left for the entrance just to have another maid grab her shoes for her.

"Are you going to go there early?" Selene asked.

"Nope I'm going shopping, it's an hour before it starts might as well get some shopping done along the way." She said as she left to the door.

"Very well but make sure you don't be late," Selene said as she followed her.

"I know. By the way who is the one going with me this time." She asked. Everyday there was a random maid who was meant to keep track of her along with a driver who also happens to be random as well.

"Don't worry they will meet you in the front. Please let me walk you out." Selene said as she opened the door for her and as she exited the door. She then gave the other maids a look before she closed it. The maids didn't say a word till the door closed as they all suddenly got together and they each had a popsicle stick with their name on it. They confirm each had their name on it so that no one can tag team or avoid not being picked. Once everyone confirmed they all put it in a dark jar and mixed it up. Everyone was nervous except for Selene as she had other responsibilities. Which to the envy of everyone else.

"Okay, the one who goes with her today is Rebecca," Selene said as she drew from the jar. Except for Rebecca everybody was relieved as they exhaled in relief. She was collapsing in tears as she didn't want to do it. The good news is that for the next two weeks she won't have to be pick again. However, that doesn't mean any good news for today. Despite working and taking care of her, let just say they prefer cleaning the house over taking care of her.

After getting a driver and assistant for her day she immediately went to the store. Without hesitation she went to the luxury mall or the rich people mall as some would call it. The moment she went inside the mall she instantly went to a random part of a store and started to pick things out. However the problem was that the assistant had to grab it for her. She found it troublesome to deal with as there were times she found it difficult to choose. But today she didn't have time compared to normal so she went and just picked the majority of the clothes she saw. Although it was like 6 bags worth of clothes compared to what she normally buys in a day. This was a luxury.

"How long do we have before we have to be there?" She asked as she didn't look at the time.

"It is 11:58 we should start to head there now," Rebecca said.

"Haa I guess....." The lady said as she then looked in a certain direction. She was puzzled for a while and then she looked away.

"Is there something that matters milady?" The assistant asked as she was going to say something.

"No...just a poor admirer who decided to look at me intently. Let's go." The lady said as she continued walking. She did feel much better as she felt like she was just too beautiful. The guy didn't look bad at all but clearly not boyfriend material. He had short hair that went one direction and had decent looks despite his decent clothes but the car was obvious in the medium class. There is no way she would date such a person as that person needs to be rich and pay for everything. Besides there is no way that they would ever be in the same world.
