Peter Jones (Nelson Woodley’s secretary) watched as his boss drove his Maybach Excelero away at breakneck speed just like he usually does. He shook his head and boarded a taxi home. Working at GVS enterprises itself is not easy say less of being the Ceo’s personal secretary. Before him, many other secretaries who worked for him never lasted more than a month. But he was the only one who managed to last 6 months. He broke a record alright! He then decided to quit and find a less terrifying job but his boss refused to accept his resignation later and tore it to pieces. That very day, his boss transferred five thousand dollars into his account and told him to report to work the next day without fail. So that’s how he continued to work for his boss till now and he still receives the same amount- five thousand dollars every month but depending on his behavior, it could be a bit lesser. Over all, the pay was good. How many were jealous of him! How many wished to be in his shoes even for an hour!
He hadn’t bought a car yet as he was treating his ailing parents and bills from the high end apartment and other miscellaneous stuff was there. You know, everyone, whether wealthy or needy, has got bills to pay!
But he never forgot to save money. He would buy his family a big house when the time is right.

(A/n: “So I guess we’re all wondering when we’ll get to the FL’s part. Goodnews then, it’s starting now! Let’s see how far we can go”) BlackVille District, Private area, Y city.
This area comprises of elites who live in luxury mansions. No random fly is allowed in here. Security is superb so one can even leave doors and windows open. (A/n:” That isn’t advisable for anybody”)
The mansions here have grades: Elite, Luxurious and Refined. They all have a price range. Elite mansions here costs 850 dollars each, Luxurious which is way better than the former costs 1 million bucks and the final which is the refined mansions cost at most 2 million dollars. So which mansion are we visiting amongst these three? Do the guessing people. . . . . . . . . . Is it the Refined mansions? . . . . . . . Is it the Luxurious mansions? . . . . . . . Is it the Elite mansions? . . . . . . . . . . Alright, the answer’s out. It’s the Elite mansions. There are 5 Elite mansions, 4 Luxurious mansions and 2 Refined mansions. The elite mansions have an alphabet plaque pasted to the gate: A, B, C, D and E. Its same with the other mansions. So which mansion should we focus on? It’s Elite mansion B and the most spacious and beautiful amongst all five mansions. The walls are painted with cyan, lilac and magenta colors. (A/n: “Don’t mind me. I’m color blind” ) A big park, a lovely garden, a swimming pool. These could be found around the mansion along with various flowers that emitted a sweet scent that calms ones nerves down; a good place for recovering. Inside the mansion At one of the billions of room in the mansion, lay our dear Vanessa on a king-sized bed with her BFF, Evelyn lying beside her. Both were looking at each other smiling. They were communicating through telepathy. “I can’t believe she did that. It’s too shocking and amusing at the same time” said Vanessa. “But that’s the least of the stupid decisions she made. Cathlyn married a man who seemed really rich. She abandoned her fiance coz he was ‘poor’ but in fact, he’s a billionaire. It turns out the man she married works as his driver. Seeing this, she tried to seduce her former fiance but she got tossed out by his new fiance who was miles ahead of her whether in intelligence, nobility, elegance and appearance. So she started hating her husband for being a mere driver and decided to latch on to any fat thigh and guess who the fat thigh turned out to be?” Evelyn asked and without waiting for a response she continued her story telling. “It was her former fiance’s cousin and he turned her to the police accusing her of attempted-violation. That’s how she landed in a mass security prison after some strings were pulled. Her husband handed her divorce papers which she immediately signed. Till today, she still keeps on hoping that a bigshot would come save her and marry her” Evelyn was finally done with her story and Vanessa applauded. “Although, you are trash at writing, I still love the story. Mind telling me another one?”Vanessa smiled revealing her set of perfect white teeth but Evelyn sulked and left the room. “Recall, no matter where you hide in this big mansion, I can still telepath to you” Vanessa currently behaved like an annoying sibling. “I hate your guts” Evelyn telepathed, not stopping her march to her room. Vanessa shook her head. “Well, have a goodnight rest and sweet dreams” Vanessa hugged one of the four pillows and flew to la-la land. Next morning at Evelyn’s mansion. It’s currently 6:30 am and our dear Vanessa is still asleep with her legs and hands clutching a pillow each. The door to the room opened and Evelyn came in wearing a black sports bra that struggled hard to cover her cleavage and pink sweat pants. Her hair was tied in a ponytail with a pink ribbon. She held green and purple stripped headphones and an evil smirk surfaced on her lips. Time for revenge! She carefully walked to the bed and slowly climbed onto it, trying not to make a sound. If Vanessa got alerted, her plans would be ruined and she didn’t want that, you know. She then inched closer to Vanessa and placed it right on her head and ears. Then she slowly retreated and got off the bed. She headed to the extreme of the room and hid behind the red couch and took out her phone. 1… 2.. 3… Action! She pressed the play button in the ‘Boomplayer’ app and immediately, Vanessa’s eyes opened wide in fright. The music was deafening and scary. Her wonderful dream of flying on a dragon king was forcefully eliminated. She suffered the backlash of forceful ejection from her lucid dream. So now, she was seething with rage. “Which bastard dares to play loud music?” she yelled out and then used her sharp hearing found the source of her misery on her head. “Evely-y-y-y-n!” she yelled again. She took it off and switched it off too, smoke coming out of her ears and nose, her eyes fiery red. (A/n:”It’s hyperbole. But she’s mad. :)” ) “I know you’re behind the couch. Get outta there” she yelled again but Evelyn didn’t. She was shocked and happy. A shortwhile later, she stopped hiding and ran towards Vanessa, tears in her eyes. “Vanny… you… you can finally speak. Oh my goodness, this is wonderful! We must celebrate this exceptional occurrence” Evelyn cried out joyfully. “Talking again like before isn’t worth celebrating, Evelyn. Don’t try to change the topic. Why did you put this evil stuff ” she points at the headphones and continued: “This trashy thing on my ears? Do you want me to go deaf? You want me to learn sign language so early?” Vanessa thundered but Evelyn hugged her instead. “My darling princess, I’m so sorry. I promise never to do this again. Will you forgive me please, my baby?” Evelyn pouted cutely. “First I’m a princess, now I’m your baby? Insincere, I don’t accept your apology” Vanessa feigned unhappiness. “Then what can I do to make you forgive me, beautiful?” Evelyn asked while caressing Vanessa’s hand. “Hmmn, let me think… you have three options,” Vanessa replied. ‘Why do I feel this is familiar?’ Evelyn thought. “I heard that. Telepathy, remember?” Vanessa reminded with a meaningful smiled.
