Yes, how do I exactly got here, in this beautiful and extravagant mansion of the Thompson's- The most rich family of the T-country. They are said to be so rich that they can buy the whole country and then be like nothing happened big to them. They have stretched their phoenix wings in almost all fields!

Quite surprising isn't it!?

Now the main point that how actually did I got here. So that takes back to when I was 6 years old. A shy and cute girl in those dark and gloomy alleys.

Lost.

Alone.

She didn't knew where her home was. What she doing was just walking in front straight, hoping to find someone and ask for help! Little did she know that in those alleys resided bad people, who had dark minds and dark thoughts specially about little and lost girls!

Around the corner, in the darkness, she could sense coldness creeping up to her. In her pajamas she could feel the cold and gloominess of the surroundings.

Dirty and tattered clothes hung upon a glum-faced man who stood in front of her. She was frightened at first, then something told her to run away quickly,.. away, as far as possible. Maybe it was the instinct of a girl. She moved her feet, the man - alerted, he rushed forward, she started running, leaving the alleys.

.. fa**st..run fast... Faster.....

From behind she could hear the man yelling and telling her to stop.

But now all she could do was just to run with her full capacity. She didn't knew why she'd have to suffer this, why was she left here and that too alone at midnight. Crystal like tears running down her smooth face, ruining her pure and innocent countenance.

Heavens! How exactly did I offend you to go through all this.

Stumbling upon something, she crashed to the ground!

At this time the relief was that the creepy man has stopped following her.

Looking at the surrounding she concluded that she had left those alleys. She was standing in middle of a road and there were streetlights showing the way up and around.

Letting out a sigh of relief...

"sigh*, what the heck did I just encountered, I want to go home... But seems like there is no one around... "

At that moment she could hear nothing except for a few cars rushing towards her. Frozen feet of hers didn't allowed her to step aside. What she was thinking was just what else is coming up to scare her more.

Those black cars at their full speed raced towards her. She fell on her knees. Eyes shut closed. Tears trailing done her cheeks. Yes, this is the end I guess. I will end up here on the roads in my pajamas, covered in blood.

How horrifying!!! *

But next was something which everyone expected that obviously the cars would stop.

And that's what happened, obviously the driver wasn't blind, seeing a little girl in front, he pressed the brakes in hopes of not hitting a lovely little girl.

The cars halted.

Down came the driver to ask the little girl if she is fine or not.

The ruined countenance of hers was still intact that much to maintain that innocent look of hers. The driver was quite astonished to find such a good looking girl on the road.

She must be a big miss of a big family, but what is she doing here on the streets alone at midnight?

""What's going on,.. *who's that girl"?

Asked the one inside the car***...

Black shoes stepped out of the black car. A handsome man stood out, behind whom hurried a servant.

"Master!.. Umm this girl.. looks like she is someone from a decent family but I don't know what she's doing here? "

"Let me take a look... Come here little girl! "

I hesitated for a moment, coz I didn't wanted to trust anyone right now. But he asked me to come forward and I obeyed him. As I took a few steps forward, he questioned me,

"little girl what's your name? "

"va...vanessa"

"Vanessa.. Such a beautiful name. It suits you. Which family are you from? ..And what are doing here alone? "

"I.. I don't know... I don't know how I got.. here.. "

"ohh.. Poor girl, come with me. I will take you somewhere "

"n..noo no mommy said not to go with strangers! "

"haha! Vanessa, don't worry I'm not a bad guy. I'm a family man. See inside the car, there is my wife and daughter. Come meet them. "

I was just wondering how would a family be like? After all I don't know where's mine?

Inside I saw a blonde girl who was looking at me excitingly, and a beautiful woman in her twenties, blonde hair swaying beside her fair countenance. I could see pink blush on her face and light makeup binding her beauty as whole.

They all make such a good couple with a fair daughter, beautiful mother and handsome father.

That's what a beautiful family is?

Even though I was covered in dirt, they allowed me to sit with them.

Even though they were so rich, I couldn't sense any arrogance in them.

Do such people really exist?

They allowed me in their house and from then onwards they started treating me as their own family. These people were probably angels sent by God to get out of the suffering of that night.

......

It's been so long, almost 13 years have passed and I've been used to this life. Even though they treat me as their own daughter, I still call them Uncle and aunt, but Laura is really like my sister with whom I share everything.

Life in these 13 years have been very nice and easy for me. They offered me great clothing, good food and high quality education.

These years went so fast....

And today here I am in this great mansion of The Thompson's.

Sigh***

I'm living such a great life that many people dream of.. But something still feels off.

Knock Knock*

Laura planted a slight knock on my room's door and then she entered.

"Vani! You know what?" Laura said in a hushed voice.

"What happened? Laura.. "

"Daddy allowed us to go out to celebrate your birthday! "

"woahh! Really? "

"but there's one condition! "

"I KNEW IT! Uncle won't agree so easily! He still worries about us as if we are still little girls. "

"He said that we can go there but the cake should be cut here only and my cousin must accompanies us to the Dream town ! Daddy is really good at planting spies around us! Humph! "

"Don't say like that, it's obvious that he is worried about us, it's fine for the cake but that cousin he mentioned....."

"oh that, do you remember my uncle who was the former president of the whole Thompsons Corporations. His only son, i.e. my cousin brother, Alex is the one who will accompany us to Dream town for your birthday.... do.. you mind him coming with us? "

"no! Of course not, why would I mind, and its alright coz uncle did this for us only! And you said former president so who's the current? "

"The current president is Alex. He became the president at the age of 18 only, and the following 5 years he has done so many huge contributions, that's why even father favors him so much!.. ugh! But I do mind if he is coming , you know he is so strict and a complete rules book follower! He won't let us have fun there!!! "

"Really is he like that? But why a president is accompanying us to the DREAM TOWN, don't you think this sounds weird...! "

"About that, I told you he is a workaholic and bossy guy so he never enjoys his life or goes for an outing, so father also entrusted us with this mission to let this guy have some fun there, and relax a bit... He can't say no to father, that's why he is coming with us. "

"OK then we will just comply with his rules, so that nothing goes wrong. "

"No no my dear lady, I won't let him have things his own way!.. Hehehe"

"Your devilish smile conveys a negative aura, Laura! "

"hehe, get ready for Dream town... "

*All must be wondering what a Dream town is actually.?

It's just one of the most beautiful and relaxing place for almost everyone.

It's a town where you can do almost anything including Swimming, gaming, surfing, hot springs, best restaurants, night festivals, boating, etc.

Yes, in that town they offer all these great things to have fun. They have their own hotels, lodges, lakes, hills, and as they are situated near the beach so we also can enjoy surfing.

Almost everything is contained in that town. To be able to go there was one of mine and Laura's dream. I'm really happy that Uncle allowed us to go there*.!!!

I waked up when I heard Laura jumping on my bed and singing the birthday song in a not so pleasant voice, but it was so funny, that I started laughing.

She grabbed one of the pillows and started fighting with me and I too played along. This feeling was so good, being able to celebrate my birthday morning like this!

We were all set for Dream town , packings were done and plans were made. All we were waiting for was Alex's arrival.

I wonder what kind of person would he be?

I didn't wanted to judge him according to Laura's view.

All preparations were made for my 19 th birthday.

It was dinner time already and we were waiting for the Thompson's Corp.'s president to arrive, exactly we were waiting for Alex.

We all rushed to the main hall after hearing the guards informing about his arrival!

Uncle was very excited but quite nervous too. I never saw him like that. Laura in her dark red velvet skirt with black blouse, was as usual a gorgeous young miss. I wore a light yellow one-piece printed with beautiful daisies. We were hurrying as we were already late. Laura rushed with me, but it was more like dragging me,the reason for delay was her only, because she wasted a lot of time fixing her hair and makeup.

After the security guards, servants and finally his butler took their places then he stepped out , wearing a creame' color suit with a brown tie, black hairs neatly made, one hand in pocket and another going through his hair as he stepped out of the black car. As we dashed towards the main hall we bumped into one of the servants carrying welcome drinks for the president, and unfortunately which uncle put in a lot of effort to prepare.

All the drinks crashed to the ground, dirtying Laura's and mine dresses. Seeing this kind of disappointing situation uncle was fuming with anger and shouted at Laura for always making trouble. I quickly stood up and helped Laura up. She said sorry for the mess she made, and by the time I was helping the servant to pick up the glass fragments, and said

"don't worry uncle, I will clean them very quick, we are really sorry! " as I apologised to him, picking up the pieces, I didn't noticed one of the glass fragments piercing my skin and blood started sliding down my fingers and down my hands!

The servant panicked and hurried to bring a first aid, Laura bent down and said to me,

"I'm sorry, you are hurt, oh God the blood is all over your hand.. "

Yes, it was a deep cut but I couldn't feel the pain as I was already worried about uncle being disappointed in us due to this situation.

Hearing Laura say that, Uncle, aunt and all the other people including Alex, rushed towards me.

Uncle was sounding quite frightened, "oh dear, what have you done silly child, oh God, someone bring the medication quickly!!! "

"it's alright uncle, it's not that deep! " I tried to calm them down.

"How is it not that deep, silly girl don't you see the blood.. Jesus!!! "

Then a calm and gentle voice said from behind...
