HIS CHILDHOOD PRINCESS

1 - HER LIFE

Alyssha's POV

I groan as my phone alarm goes on. After a long agonizing couple of minutes, I find my phone, buried somewhere under the cover, and turn off the alarm. My day starts at 5AM. I like to start my day early as it helps me to get all my work done. I go to the washroom to finish my morning routine.

I have a decent size apartment that has 2 bedrooms, 2 washrooms, office and open concept kitchen , living room and dining room. I am not a girly girl type who likes to decorate the house so I wanted to keep it simple but much to my dismiss, Oliver, my only friend, brother figure and neighbour, hired an interior designer to decorate it. He literally threatened me to cut out our friendship if I won't listen to him so I let him do whatever he wanted to do.

After Finishing my morning routine I change into work out clothes that are a sports bra, yoga legging and oversized light hoodie. I went to the kitchen and made a pre workout smoothie, not that I can make anything else.

I live on the 39th floor of a 40 story condominium building. The building has its own gym, swimming pool, movie theatre, game room and a party room.

I check the weather while taking the elevator and it's really nice outside so I decide to go for jogging in the fresh air then hitting the gym.

If I think about my life so far, I haven't had the best life but I wouldn't say it was the worst either. There have been many people who have had life worse than mine. I am thankful that I have got help from the right people at the right time.

I am an orphan and I have no idea who my parents are. I was just left outside of an orphanage when I was 2 years old with just a letter showing my first name and birthdate.

The mistress was a very nice lady named Maria and we used to call her Mama Maria. She was like a mother to all the children. She tried to find more information about me but I was not even registered in any hospital or no missing complaint about me in any police station. I always wonder if I was that much unwanted that my parents don't want to be found.

Most of the kids used to get their education sponsored by some rich people. It was like kids get into the school as per their intelligence and you pay all their expenses. I also got sponsored by some billionaire and since I was kind of smart I got into Eastview high, California which was one of the top five schools in the county.

That's where I met my best friend Adrian. He was a total nerd and was a couple grades above me. He was getting bullied when I saw him for the first time on my first day. I have always been aggressive so I kicked the ball of the bully and since then me and my Rian became each other's only and the best friends. Although we kept getting bullied as we were the only not so rich people in the school but that only brought us together, that is until I was twelve when he left me alone for never to come back.

At that same time my sponsorship was stopped and mama Maria also died. The new management was anything but nice. Every child who had no sponsorship was forced to supply and sell the drugs by going to very dangerous areas.

That's where I met Mike who taught me karate, taekwondo and kickboxing to save myself but that also couldn't save me that night. The night that gave me very deep scars on my heart, soul and body which can never be removed.

Luckily, due to my exceptionally doing well in study, I got a scholarship in St.Laurence High which is in New York, for junior and senior at the age of 14. So I decided to run away from there and I changed my name with the help of Mike and his crazy connections. I also learned to forge the signature of Marcus, owner of the orphanage so no one can find out about my runaway.

I had to spend my initial few days on the streets as I did not have any money to rent a place. Later I got a job in a restaurant. The owner pitied me and let me sleep in his restaurant kitchen. Few months later with the help of Mike's friend, I also started underground fighting and car racing as that was the only way to make money for my further studies.

I graduated from school when I was 16. I got into NYU with a full ride scholarship. I was enrolled for double bachelors one in architectural engineering and business management. Along with that I started working part time in a Multinational company as an assistant of the CEO's PA. I got really close to the CEO and his wife. They became my parental figure and they also treated me like their daughter. Despite being rich and famous they are very kindhearted and down to earth people. They literally order me to call them uncle and aunt.

Uncle introduced me to the stock market and I became pro at it in a year and made lots of money. I did my masters in business psychology and interior design and graduated at the age of 20. I studied weird subjects because I always wanted to do business in the hospitality industry like renovating or building luxury hotels but that requires huge investments so I decided to do something that does not require any investment.

I became a stock market consultant.

I requested Uncle to give me a chance and he let me handle stock portfolios of one of his smallest companies. But I made it successful and gradually he gave me more opportunities. So after graduation I decided to open my company that will help big companies to manage their stock portfolios and Uncle's company became my first client and Gradually I got more clients. Then I start buying small companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy, I build them up making good profit and then sell them. I started doing the same with rundown hotels. Uncle has been my guide and mentor through and he has always been there to guide me when I am a lost puppy in the business world.

Last three years have been very crazy busy for me. My day would start from 6AM and end at 11 or 12at night and it's not like I have any social life to compromise. I would mostly sleep on the couch in the office. I have a full shower and a small closet for convenience.

But all this hard work paid off as now at the age of 23 I am founder and the CEO of the ALS group of companies and a 50 story building as my office where I have many companies as my clients, I have 25 companies that I bought to build up, 40 luxury hotels and resorts in many different countries, 28 clubs, 5 luxury cruzes, 6 luxury apartment buildings and an NGO called ALS foundation that builds full facility free schools for orphans and less privileged children. I spend 40% of my income for the cause. I also have partnerships in many companies. I also have endorsed many start ups and in return I get profit sharing. I make billions a year and this year I have been nominated for the youngest billionaire of the year award and my company also entered in the list of the top five companies of the world.

I am socially awkward as I never really had any family or real life friends except him and Oliver. But right now I have only one friend, Oliver Smith, who is my neighbour and my college mate during my bachelor's. He went to England to do masters but came back a year ago as a neighbour. He has been a brother I never had in my life whereas uncle and aunt have been a parent figure since I met them 7 years ago.

As for my love life I never dated anyone for two reasons. One is that I never had time as I always have been busy with my studies and then business. Second reason is that I am way too independent and hot headed to handle male ego and possessiveness. Also my dressing sense is the worst as my aunt defines them.

After running around for an hour I am on my way back to my apartment and start getting ready for the day that consists of me working my ass off in the office, coming home, eating, sleeping and repeating.

After getting ready I got in my Toyota Camry and left for work. Yes I can buy any car I want but this is my first car, the first thing I could call my own so I will use it as long as I can.
