"MOM NO!" Roselyn shouted at the top of her lungs."For the last time I won't marry that filthy animal".

"Sweetie be calm and hear me out, its for your own good". Said her mother, Margaret.

"Look mom,I know you want what is best for me but how do you expect me to be with a man like that for the rest of my life". Roselyn said a little calmed.

"That is the reason why you must get to know him,Eduardo is a nice gentleman and..."

"Okay okay I will try but no promises". Roselyn said defeated.

'Oh God how did I end up with a spoilt daughter like this'. Margaret thought as she watched Roselyn walk away.

...

Few kilometres away from the Wayne mansion.

"Move away fool,I'm running late". An angry driver scolded Chris as he tried to wash his car in traffic.

'Filthy peasant'. The driver mumbled as he drove away in the most expensive Mercedes Benz.

As Chris stood there it finally clicked in his mind that was Eduardo Southgate,the richest young entrepreneur in all of America.

He was Chris' role model.

It was an hour past noon and Chris was yet to get even a penny.

He started as early as 7 am.

....

Chris is a 24 years young man but due to his smallish and fragile physique he is mostly mistaken as a teenager.

He lives with his dad Mathias and older brother Sebastian.

His mother was killed whilst pregnant with his future sister.

....

As the day drew to an end Chris packed up with only $31 and some pennies as the day's income.

"Welcome home son,I brought some leftover from work". Mathias who was sitting on a chair so worn out that it looked like a family heirloom.

"I'm okay dad". Chris rejected knowing that the food will not be enough for them.

"No son you have to eat you are growing lean every minute,you can't go on like this". Mathias insisted.

"Alright then,...oh I made $31 today".

"That is nice keep it for yourself don't let your brother bully you for it". Mathias warned.

After that short conversation the duo ate in silence.

...

Back in the mansion.

"Hey girls,can you belive my mom is still persistent on me dating that man". Roselyn said to her friends through video call.

"I thought you made it clear to her that you are not interested in him". Danielle added.

"Oh girls don't be like that he is not that bad ,he is handsome and SUPER RICH!". Danielle's sister Zoe exclaimed.

"Oh shut up we all know you will defend anything with a billion dollars to its name". Danielle scolded.

"Whatever,you know I'm right you just can't get over your ex boyfriend". Zoe said definitely striking Danielle's nerves.

"By the way,when will you guys come back from vacation I miss you"? Roselyn changed the topic.

"Somewhere next week". Danielle replied.

"But I thought you said this week". Roselyn pouted.

"Don't worry Rose we will be back before your wedding with Eduardo". Zoe said and quickly disconnected the call fearing what Roselyn might say.

As soon as the call disconnected she heard someone calling for her.

"Rossie dear please come to the living room". Said a male voice.

"Dad! When did you arrive"? Roselyn squealed hugging her father.

"Not long ago". Replied Adam.
