A Rich Man's World

Money

There is a saying in life that I couldn't agree more with:

"Its a rich man world."

Only the rich and powerful come up on top while the poor struggle to survive. Its a sad but true fate; Poverty is the death of so many.

I know it, I lived through it, I got out of it, and you know where I am now?

Lying in a bed full of Satin sheets with two girls laying next to me on both sides. I slowly sat up and went towards my drawer to get my cigarettes.

Insignia. "Mhmm, I love a good smoke of Insignia in the morning." I said out loud before lighting it up. I let out a long satisfying puff smiling to myself. Okay, now it's time for me get to work.
I walked over to the bed and pull the sheets off the girls.

"Leave now." I ordered throwing the sheets to the ground. One of the girls just pouted and sat up giving me puppy dog eyes.

"Come Cedric, can't we just stay. We can entertain you all day again." She said trying to sound seductive while the other one just nodded in agreement. I gave them a harsh glare.

"If you don't get out by the count of three, I will make sure the only place you'll be from now on is at 'The Rot.'

Horror started to spread on the girls' faces:
"One."
It didn't take long for them to scramble to get their things and leave out the door. I flopped back down on my bed taking another drag from cigarette.
The Rot, the worst place any living creature can live; Where death and poverty fills the air and there's danger around every corner. The Rot, my hometown.

I got up and put out the cigarette.
Time to go to work.

I walked to my closet and pulled out my Tuxedo Black Red Trim Microfiber Two Button Notch.It went well with the Corthay Arca Patent Leather Dress Shoes I bought a while back. I could say I was a good-looking guy. I had dark, raven hair with hazel eyes. Some may say my body was slender compared to most males but I still had the right body that'll make girls give me a second look. I walked out of the condo and hopped in my new Lamborghini Aventador S Coupe' on my way to Haven.

Now time to go to work.

Haven, the most popular Casino around. Where the rich come to waste money while the greedy pigs come and try their luck. But this Casino isn't just for anybody to get in. You see in this world, there are three places you live in: If you are rich and/or famous, you live in Millbucks, home of greedy bastards and gold-diggers that can locate big money from a mile a way. Next, you have the middle-class that live in Suburbia; those are your classic hard-workers who want to live an easy care-free life. Sadly, all middle-class people are not like that,which leads to my favorite type of toys I like to call Tasters.

Tasters are people who aren't rich enough to live that luxury life but want to. We allow them to have a little taste of the rich life by letting them in places that will try their luck. Haven is one of those places that love to prey on the Tasters. Its sad in fact some Tasters even lost all of their money here resulting to live in 'The Rot.'

The Rot. A place where pimps, drug dealers, gangs, junkies, and prostitutes roam the streets. A place where the sun never shines to due to all the smog in the air. A place where you just spend your life rotting away not knowing when Death will come and take you away. A place I'm too familiar with. Parents from the higher classes used to scare their kids by saying if they are bad, they would end up in the Rot. The first time I heard this was when a mom was scolding her son to behave in the store. I didn't know which was more funny; the way that tactic work or the fact that I, a child from that place, lent her two bucks to buy the snot-nosed brat a candy bar.
