[3rd Person POV]
Willo Grace is the daughter of a wealthy oil businessman in the United States. She has everything within her grasp, be it money or luxury. Willo has everything. However, she yearned for something specific that money couldn't buy her... Love of her parents and true friends...
Willo's parents were always busy with their work. The only thing they provided her was nothing but money and more money. Moreover, she never had any friends due to her high status and bodyguards, who guard her 24/7. Everyone was just too nervous or afraid to approach her.
The shadow of her parents was too big for her to escape. But one day, on her 17th birthday, she just ran away from the house. At the same time, the merge occurred.
Willo became the first awakener on earth, but no one, including her, will ever know that fact. She gained the unusual power to hear others' thoughts.
Soon she was caught by the guards of her family. But when they returned, they were greeted by a massive chunk of burning meteor in place of the mansion. Everyone within the mansion's proximity died that day, including Willo's father, who came back from overseas to surprise her and celebrate her birthday.
During the rise of the awakeners, when different organizations were formed, Willo's mother wanted her to join the Justice League. But she refused and told her mother that she wanted to live her life on her own terms. She doesn't want her mother or anyone to interfere with her life anymore.
For a time, Willo worked for Fury as a consultant because her power was too good for Fury to refuse. Fury introduced her to Emma Frost and other mutants. There, she received training from Emma Frost and Jean Grey. She learned how to control her power.
Willo earned trillions of cash from her work in Shield. For the first time, Willo did something without her parents' help. And she was genuinely happy. But things soon started to feel restraining for her. So, she left but accepted Fury's request to help him out from time to time.
After that, Willo suddenly opened her first business, a royal casino and a holiday spot for families and couples, in New York. And soon, her business started to grow.
There are more than twenty casinos all over the world, which Willo opened in addition to numerous resorts, restaurants, and exotic & luxurious holiday spots. And, in terms of money, she left her mother behind. She became one of the youngest self-made rich people in the world.
However, somewhere along the way, Willo has forgotten about her childhood dreams. And before she knew it, she was surrounded by the very thing she ran away from, money.
All the people around her weren't her friends. She knows everything about them. Each of them was with her for their own profits. And none of her colleagues thought of her as their friend. They were sticking with her due to her money and fame. But from the outside, they were like Willo's besties.
When Willo became disgusted by their annoying two-face acts, she gathered everyone close to her and revealed her power. Some even found her creepy and distanced themselves from her after learning about her power to read thoughts. While others didn't care as long as they were getting paid.
...
Willo met Alex during the opening of one of her casinos, where Alex won the jackpot on his first try. And he continued to win for three whole rounds. That's billions of dollars. She tried to read his mind to check if he was cheating or winning the jackpot for real, but to her surprise, she couldn't read his mind.
Willo became horrified for the first time in years. She was so used to reading other people's thoughts that she forgot how to live or converse with others like regular people. She felt lost and almost blacked out from the shock.
Willo let Alex go with his winnings. Later she found that there was a glitch in the new slot machines.
Willo stalked Alex and used her connections to dig deeper into his life, but she didn't find anything amusing. Instead, she found a lonely boy who was struggling financially and was just happy to win the jackpot.
However, Willo was curious. She found someone immune to her powers. She wanted to know what that boy was thinking. She wanted to know why she couldn't read his thoughts. She has always wanted to spend her time with someone without those voices in her head, and when she finally found one, she became afraid.
To curb her curiosity, Willo decided to complete her studies and thus entered the same college as Alex and even took the same subjects as him. Eventually, they became good friends. They used to spend quality time together.
Alex didn't know Willo's real identity and treated her like a good friend. They would go to arcades, cafes, carnivals, and many other places. As time passed, Willo started to become attracted to Alex. She wanted more than just friendship.
To Willo, Alex was her long-lost dream. He was her only way to escape from everything. Whenever she was away from Alex, she would feel a weird sensation and pain in her chest, but a glance at his face and all her pain would disappear instantly.
One day when Willo got into a nasty accident and was admitted to the hospital, Alex stayed with her and took care of her whenever he had free time after his classes and work.
There Alex learned about Willo's real identity. But his behavior toward her didn't change. He said that everyone has their own secrets and that he didn't care about her background or anything because she was his precious friend. And nothing will change that.
Thus, Alex continued to pay her visits during her stay in the hospital. During that time, Willo fell for Alex.
Willo decided to confess her feelings to Alex. Sadly her happiness didn't last long. The day she was about to go to confess her feelings, she received a piece of bad news. Willo's mother got caught in a terrorist bombing in Europe, and her condition is critical. She wanted to meet her daughter for one last time, in case she didn't make it.
Willo was stuck between two choices. One was the happiness that she had always dreamed of, and the other one was her mother, whom she never saw since the day she left home.
Willo knew she might never see her mother again if she missed this chance. She always wanted to meet and tell her mother that she was happy and achieved the dreams she set out to find. But she never dared to meet her. She was afraid of her mother's reaction. But when she heard about her mother's condition, she knew what she had to do.
Willo flew to Europe in her private plane.
During her time in Europe, Willo's burdens increased as she had to take care of her mother's falling business and her half-comatose mother. She was so busy, and the pressure was so heavy that she didn't have time for anything else. Even calls with Alex became shorter and shorter until they stopped talking.
Nearly one and a half years later, Willo returned to New York after her mother's complete recovery, thanks to the new awakeners with healing abilities. The first thing she did on her arrival was to meet Alex.
However, when Willo arrived at Alex's house, she found that Alex was already in a live-in relationship with another girl. She was a little too late. She felt lost and shattered, but she didn't want to disrupt Alex's peaceful and happy life and swallowed her sadness, distancing herself from him.
...
Later, Willo explained her situation. She apologized to Alex for not being in touch, and they mended their friendship. She acted like nothing was wrong. But she cried every night in her empty and lonely mansion.
Willo knew that if she remained near Alex, she might not be able to hold back her feelings. So, she left and went to Italy and never came back.
Occasionally, Alex called her, and they had a great chat.
However, a couple of months ago, Alex went silent. She waited and waited for his calls until she couldn't take it anymore and called him back. But Alex didn't pick up his phone.
Willo thought Alex had moved on with his life. But she couldn't help but worry. She had a weird feeling in her heart. She felt that Alex might not be alright. So, she used her information network and learned about Alex's situation.
Willo learned about Alica's betrayal.
Willo went back to New York and rushed to meet Alex. But on that exact day, Alica sold Alex for money. She arrived at Alex's house 2 hours after his kidnapping. She thought he was out, so she came back another day.
Later Willo saw Alex from a distance when he was taking Jenny for admission. She was glad to see him doing alright but didn't dare to meet him.
