The sun shone bright and early in the morning, the sun rays peeped in through the blinds and shone brightly on Scarlett's face, her lashes fluttered as her eyes slowly opened, getting used to the bright sun. Lying on her bed with her eyes open, she stared at the ceiling. A woman who looked like she was in her late fifties walked into the room.
"Good morning Loretta!"
"Good morning Scarlett, how was your night?"
"Okay...today is that day again, isn't it Loretta?"
"It is, you'll be alright," she said. It had already been nine years since Scarlett's parents died in the accident.
"The party is planned as per your requests," Loretta said. Scarlett got up from her bed, had her shower and went out to meet Nicole.
Nicole was just as rich as Scarlett, but the two never seemed to care about their riches. Before her parents died, they had opened up another branch of Quinn Incorporation but Scarlett couldn't care less. She didn't like responsibility at all so she immediately made her cousin Rodriguez the CEO of the branch. Nicole and Scarlett always trained together. Even though Scarlett would train the whole day, she would still train with Nicole afterwards. Nicole decided they go shopping and after much persuasion Scarlett finally agreed.
Scarlett was never one to enjoy shopping, she always preferred to just dress normal; wearing her t-shirt and jeans with a black leather jacket, if not that she would wear a really big sweat-shirt and a pair of black high waist jeans and boots. So for the reason of the party, she reluctantly agreed to go shopping but Nicole couldn't change her fashion sense just this once.
They arrived at Scarlett's mansion two hours before twilight and they got ready, everything was prepared for the party but little did they know what was prepared for them.
The party was going as planned, there were well wishers who to Scarlett were just invading her personal space, she didn't like being pitied or felt sorry for and besides that, they just wanted to crack up business deals with her, she finally managed to escape them and went to the balcony just outside the room, even though she hated etiquette and grandeur, she had to do it.
"Hey! Saw you having a little problem with the guests, you okay?" Nicole asked.
"Yeah I'm good," Scarlett replied. "I'm surprised I've lasted this long,"
"So am I,"
"Thanks for everything Nicole,"
"What are best friends for," Nicole said and they embrace each other, but what was meant to be a peaceful evening turned into a hellhole.
