Author's POV

As Ember continued her journey through the silent road, the raindrops gradually intensified, drenching her hoodie and jeans. Each droplet seemed to merge with the tears streaming down her face, creating a blurred vision of the world around her. The pain in her limp became more apparent with every step, but she pressed on, determined to reach her destination.

The opulent houses that lined the street stood as a stark contrast to Ember's current state. She didn't belong here, among the wealthy and privileged. Her presence seemed almost out of place, like an intruder in a world she could only dream of. But Ember had her reasons for being here, her own secrets hidden beneath the bruises on her lips.

Her once vibrant and lively eyes now reflected a deep sadness, carrying the weight of untold stories. They no longer sparkled with the hope and innocence of youth but held a glimmer of resilience and strength, buried beneath the surface. Ember had experienced hardships that had

    EMBER'S POV "Ember, problems are the things that make people strong. No problems, no life. Yes, sometimes certain problems are really hard to handle, but it doesn't mean you should run away from them... Do you understand what I'm trying to say?" Papa asked, and I sobbed while nodding my head in agreement. I wanted to scream about every problem I was facing, but it would only increase his pain. It would only make him feel like a failure for not being able to help his daughter. "So don't run away from problems. How long have you been feeling fragile? Where is my Ember who used to fight off anyone who dared to misbehave with her?" He asked, and I sobbed even more while looking outside. I felt like a stranger in my own body after last night. I felt dirty. His touch still lingered, slowly killing me and burning me with pain. "So whenever you feel like giving up, always remember why you came here. You came here for your dreams, so work hard and fulfill your dream of getting a job in a pre

    "Fuck," I muttered under my breath as her laughter echoed in my mind. I was in an important meeting, but my thoughts were consumed by Ember. It was the first time in my life that I found myself so easily distracted by a mere girl. "How is this contract, Ivan?" my grandpa asked, looking at me with expectant eyes. "It's good... You should invest your money in this deal," I replied, and he chuckled. "Why don't you call it 'our' money? After all, after my death, it will all be yours," he remarked, and I couldn't help but laugh. "But until then, you are still the owner of it," I replied, making him giggle. His eyes conveyed a sense of pride for me, and I too felt proud of my accomplishments. °°° As I looked at the vast steel factory, a sense of pride filled me. This was my empire in Greece, something I had envisioned and sketched on my copy when I was just 20 years old. My maternal grandpa had admired the design and asked about my plans. Without hesitation, I shared my ambitions, a

    Ember's POV:"Are you fine, Ember?" I turned to look at the owner of the voice and found Serenity looking at me while holding a tray of food."Hmm, I am fine," I replied and sat on the bed. I have been here for the past week. When I left my house, I got into an accident, and fortunately, the car involved belonged to Serenity, who was passing by. I was hospitalized for one day, and then Serenity brought me here because, according to her, no one was here to take care of me, so she would take care of me until I got better. I was feeling completely well, but she wouldn't let me leave. Even her mom told me to stay here until her birthday, so I had to stay. To be honest, I don't want to live here. I feel like a burden. I have never stayed at anyone's place before. I really don't like staying, but this time I had to stay here."Eat it," she said, and I smiled. She is truly a kind girl.

The mall security staff trailed behind him. "Sir, it's nothing. A blue diamond ring has gone missing, and we've apprehended the thief," a male worker said proudly. Upon hearing this, Ivan glanced at him with an expression of uncertainty, as if silently questioning, "Are you sure?" "Who is the thief?" he asked in a calm tone. "It's a girl. We're conducting a physical search, and I'm confident we'll recover the ring," the worker replied. Ivan chuckled at this. "What's its value?" he inquired. "The latest diamond ring costs around 37 million dollars," the worker stated, leaving Ivan surprised. "That's quite expensive, isn't it?" Ivan remarked.
