Chapter 2 - Lamborghini

Gigi set her sleek Lamborghini into motion, the car purring as it sped towards the Wellington family's sprawling estate. As she approached the grand gates, she honked the horn, her mouth curving into a satisfied smile as the security man sprang into action, opening the gates for her with a crisp salute.

Gigi pulled through the gates with ease, the Lamborghini's tires crunching over the gravel driveway. The security man, a veteran of the Wellington household, greeted her with a friendly nod. "Welcome back, Ms. Wellington. Congratulations on the new car."

"Thank you, Manuel," Gigi replied, her voice smooth as honey. She reached into her purse, pulling out a few crisp dollar bills and handing them to the security man. "And thanks for opening the gates for me. I appreciate it."

Manuel tipped his cap in gratitude, pocketing the money with a warm smile. "Anytime, Ms. Wellington. You deserve it. Everyone's talking about your new car."

Gigi laughed, her eyes glinting with mischief. "Well, I figured it was time to upgrade."

"That's what I like to hear," Manuel said with a chuckle. "Enjoy the ride, Ms. Wellington. And watch out for those speed bumps. Wouldn't want anything to happen to that fancy paint job."

Gigi smirked, revving the Lamborghini's engine one last time. "Oh, don't worry about me, Manuel. I'll be just fine." With that, she peeled off down the driveway, leaving a cloud of dust in her wake.Gigi's Lamborghini glided past the sparkling waters of the magnificent fountain, a centerpiece of the Wellington estate. With a turn of the ignition, she cut the engine, allowing the vehicle to come to a gentle stop.

Gigi alighted from the car with grace, her Chanel bag swinging from her elbow and her new Prada stilettos clicking on the pavement. She smoothed the folds of her Vera Wang dress, a custom-made piece from her very own fashion line. The dress hugged her curves perfectly, accentuating her curvy figure and porcelain skin.

With a final adjustment of her hair, she sauntered towards the mansion, her designer heels carrying her confidently across the polished marble floors.As Gigi swept into the mansion's opulent foyer, she spotted Fiona lounging on a king-sized chair, engrossed in a magazine. Gigi offered a brief, perfunctory greeting.

"I heard you got yourself a new car," Fiona stated, her gaze piercing as she set down her magazine.

Gigi gave a nonchalant shrug, rolling her eyes at Fiona's interest. "It's just a Lamborghini. No big deal."

"Oh please, Gigi," Fiona scoffed, her nose wrinkled in distaste. "You're always trying to show off, trying to one-up Olivia. It's pathetic." Fiona's tone was dismissive, but there was an edge of bitterness that cut through the air like a knife.

Gigi sighed, a look of annoyance flitting across her face. She didn't have time for this nonsense—she had to get to her room, grab what she needed, and get out of the house before Fiona could further spoil her mood.

With a curt nod, Gigi turned on her heel and marched up the stairs, her heels clicking a rapid staccato against the polished marble floor. She could feel Fiona's eyes boring into her back, but she refused to give the older woman the satisfaction of a reaction.

As she entered her bedroom, Gigi flung open her closet and began rifling through its contents, searching for a particular item she needed. She knew she had to get out of this house as quickly as possible, before Fiona had a chance to needle her any further.

With her focus laser-sharp on her objective, Gigi's fingers closed around the item she had been looking for—a small, rectangular velvet box. She paused for a moment, her eyes tracing the familiar shape and texture before tucking it safely into her handbag. This item, she knew, represented far more than its material worth.

As she slung her bag over her shoulder and made her way towards the stairs, Gigi allowed herself a moment of pride. She had worked hard for what she had, and no amount of petty jealousy from Fiona could change that.

Down the stairs Gigi went, each step bringing her closer to the sanctuary of her new Lamborghini and further away from Fiona's bitter words. As she approached the foyer, her nostrils flared with the familiar scent of her signature perfume, a fragrance she had specially created for herself. It was a scent that embodied everything she stood for: power, success, and glamour.

With a quick glance around, Gigi spotted Fiona still sitting in her chair, a sour expression on her face as she watched Gigi's exit.

"Leaving so soon, Gigi?" Fiona's voice dripped with insincerity as she watched Gigi make her way towards the front door.

Gigi paused for a moment, her hand resting on the door handle. "I have better things to do than argue with you, Fiona," she replied, her voice cold and even. "Besides, I have a new car waiting for me. I wouldn't want to keep it waiting."

With that final, cutting remark, Gigi turned the handle and stepped out into the warm summer air. As she walked towards her Lamborghini, she could feel Fiona's burning glare on the back of her neck. But she didn't care. She had made her mark, and nothing could take that away from her.

Sliding into the driver's seat, Gigi grinned as she turned the key in the ignition. The engine purred to life, a powerful roar that sent a thrill through her veins.

With a confident rev of the engine,she shifted the Lamborghini into gear and pulled away from the mansion, leaving Fiona and her negativity behind. As Gigi's Lamborghini peeled away from the mansion, the sound of its engine rumbling into the distance, Olivia hurried towards her mother, Ella trailing in her wake.

"Mom," Olivia began, her voice still slightly breathless from her run. "Was that Gigi who just drove off?"

Fiona's lips tightened into a thin, angry line, a low hiss of displeasure slipping between them. "Yes," she snapped, glaring at the space where Gigi's car had just been. "That was Gigi."

Olivia's voice dropped to a harsh whisper, her words dripping with venom. "I hate her so much," she hissed, a look of pure loathing crossing her face. "She always thinks she's better than everyone else, like she's some kind of goddess or something. It's ridiculous."

Ella watched the exchange between mother and daughter, her eyes tracking Olivia's seething resentment with a mix of exasperation and pity.
