The Curse of the Green Stone
chapter 1
"Valentina sighed, admiring the view of the bustling city from her high-rise apartment. She had just graduated with her master's degree in Business Administration and was enjoying a well-deserved break.
"Valentina swiped her black Amex card, watching as the saleswoman carefully placed her new Chanel purse, Christian Louboutin shoes, and designer clothes into bags. 'One hundred thousand, ma'am,' the woman said. Valentina barely batted an eye. She was used to this lifestyle." *Ring.*
"Valentina answered the call casually, 'Hey Grandpa.' She heard his stern voice reply, 'Valentina, come to the mansion immediately. It's important.' His tone sent shivers down her spine—the same tone he used when discussing business or family matters she didn't want to deal with." *Click.*
She went home and pack her luggage and arrived at the airport
"As Valentina boarded the private jet, she settled into her leather seat, sipping on expensive champagne. The plane took off smoothly, heading to a destination she wasn't informed about. As she gazed out the window, she wondered what her grandparent could possibly want that was so urgent and secretive."

Smile*
"The private jet landed smoothly on the tarmac of an unknown airport. Valentina stepped off the plane, her heels clicking on the concrete as she was greeted by a chauffeur holding a sign with her name written in elegant cursive. She followed him silently to a waiting black limousine." *The driver opens the door...*
"The limousine ride was silent, the driver navigating through winding roads that led to a secluded area. Suddenly, the car stopped in front of an ancient-looking mansion surrounded by lush gardens and high walls. The driver opened the door, revealing Valentina's grandfather standing at the entrance with a serious expression."
"Valentina stepped out of the limousine, her heels sinking slightly into the gravel. She was used to seeing her grandfather's serious expression, so she wasn't worried. 'Grandpa,' she greeted, kissing his cheek. He patted her head and led her inside the grand mansion.

"Valentina bit her tongue hard to stop herself from arguing. She knew that look in her grandfather's eyes—the one that meant there was no room for discussion or refusal. He had always indulged her spoiled behavior but when it came to matters like this, his word was final."
