Scarlett O'Connor, as her name suggests she is as seductive as the color red. The smartest and sexiest woman to ever be known by mankind. She has brought in her net worth from only two thousand dollars to billions in only a couple of years.
She is the figure of empowerment for women and young girls. Yet here she is fidgeting in her office and the stack of papers are in front of her.
LUCY, one of a kind artificial intelligence. It is claimed that LUCY can bring in trillions if the right mind can use her correctly. She is able to see other competitors data and shows what they want from who. Buildings, technology, hospitals, you name it.
Whatever your heart's desire is she will grant like a genie, but with an unlimited amount of wishes.
The problem is is that her creator used her wrong. She was able to bring him from his mighty throne and down caset him to scraps of dust. His family left him, he had no money, no job, and that drove him to insanity.
Since this incident many have tried to use LUCY to their advantage. A special and expensive piece of equipment that Scarlett never, ever wanted to have.
Yet here is the forms of the ownership of LUCY now is her hands. Scarlett now has the chance of a lifetime. A chance to be the richest human of all time.
Yet why would she use her billions to fall to oblivion, working countless nights just to save her family.
Her mother was ill, her father was dead and she had a baby sister. What other options did she have, losing was not an option for her family and she needed to be able to support them.
The reason she worked countless nights was for her family. Not her goal and dream, she put dreams aside and realized that reality wasn't going to help her. She was against the world and people didn't believe she would make it.
She is a legend being only eighteen, strong willed, sharp-tongued, and witty. People love her honor to not only her family but her co-workers giving them good pay with a family plan.
Now is she willing to have people, who desperately need this job, get fired and her family to be poor again.
LUCY is smart able to go to all bank accounts and drain the money to the Bermuda triangle. Any bank account under your name will be gone.
Nothing will be left.
Scarlett couldn't take it yet there is this sort of temptation in her. As if something is whispering in her ear to take a bite of forbidden fruit.
That her garden of Eden will be shunned from her left nothing in her name. The devil speaks of greed while she wonders if it is God telling her to do this.
That he is giving her a blessing from her pain. That all her suffering she is given bliss and being reborn as a new woman, free of her burden.
In her heart she feels that taking it is right.
"Mrs.Chaverria can you please send in... LUCY" Scarlett said after much consideration.
"Yes madam, she will be with you in less than ten minutes"
Scarlett then gave a small smile, signed all the documentation that LUCY is now legally her's.
To do what you need and want to do you must take the risks to get there, to learn to be free and happy the rocky road will always give a lovely bliss and beautiful view in the end.
As her sister would say every night as the huddled together in her mother's hopital room.
The silence in the room became unbearable until a small knock disrupted her small memory of sadness and pain. She been in the same place before and she will now fight again to get her real dream.
To become a mother.
A scientist came and she got up to go to where LUCY was housed.
The drive was unnerving and was slowly eating her up inside.
After so many scans and tests she got in and it was grand. It was a robot and as if she had artificial organs hanging. The only skin on her was from her head and to her shoulders. She had organs that could function like a human being with chips from every place in the world.
Scarlett saw LUCY'S heart beating and it squeezed her own. Her mother had heart problems and she had gotten a heart transplant but her body responded negative to it.
She walked to the head piece that was right in front of her. Putting it on she then was embraced by darkness and she saw LUCY whole.
She was beautiful with her blond hair is stark contrast to Scarlett's wavey reddish brown hair.
LUCY smiled and opened he arms to her and she walked with a smile with her.
LUCY reminded her of her mother's arms when she had a shoulder to cry on when her father died. When she was bullied and for everything wrong in her life that was supposed to go right and she cried.
She was then accepted to LUCY'S mainframe.
Scarlett then said to the scientists, while wipping her tears from her eyes, "I'm in."
