I woke up hearing my phone ringing. I see the caller ID, it was my dad and I hit the receive button.
" Hey princess, how are you? Did u reach safely? How is Adam? Is he treating you right? Are you happy? Why didn't you call me back?"
He was going on and on with his questions .
I stopped him "Dad chill...I'm okay don't you worry. Sorry I forgot to call you yesterday, it was a long flight. I got tired and fell asleep. How are you? How are boys?"

"Boys are good. They miss you, we all are missing you." He said

"tell them I miss them too and don't worry I am happy here. Adam...h..he is very nice and humble" I lied.

" Good, I'm glad you're happy. Stay blessed, I'll hang up now. Do not forget to call me whenever you miss me okay. Bye sweetheart." He said.
" I won't, bye" and I hung up.

It was so good to hear his voice. I saw the time and it was 11:37 already.
Shit, I slept too much. I get off from the bed and did my morning routine. I took a quick shower and wore a simple dress which reach below my knees. I tied my hair in a bun and head downstairs for breakfast.

Once I reached in the dining area I noticed that no one was there except some maids cleaning.
"Good morning Mrs. Keingston, please have a seat. I'll serve you your breakfast soon." said one of the maid.

I gave her a nod and sat on the dining table. She came and put the plate in front of me. She served me scrambled egg, bacon and my favorite banana chocochip pancakes and a cup of coffee.

" Mr. Keingston already informed all the servants about your likes and dislikes. He also told us to make you feel comfortable here" she said .
"Adam said that?" I said shockingly. I cannot believe he did all this after the way he behaved last night.
" No mrs. Keingston, his father the big Mr. Kiengstein is the one I am talking about" she said. I don't know why but this upsets me.
I felt happy for a second thinking Adam did it for me.
" oh...that explains my favotite breakfast, thankyou so much. And one more thing. My name is Mila, you can call me that." I said to her.
" My pleasure maam, please call me if you need anything and enjoy your breakfast Mila "she said and left.

I took my time to devour this delicious breakfast. After finishing my breakfast I thought to take a tour of this place. So I asked the maid which earlier served me breakfast to give me one. She gladly accepted my request and I came to know her name is Tessa . She serves Keingston family for last 6 years. Her husband is working as a driver for Adam.

I cant believe how beautiful and huge this house is. It contains everything from private gym to pool and also it has it's own mini theatre. Seriously a theatre? Like..WOW. how rich is this guy. My legs started to pain from our tour and our last stop was this very divine library. I love books, I can spent my whole day reading them. I use to have a small library back at my home too. It was my escape place from my annoying brothers.

I went towards the shelfs which comprise each and every kind of books. It had romance novel, adventure books and also some horror ones. There were also some law and technical books. Does he even read them or he just like to keep them just for show off. These rich peoples.....huh...

Don't get me wrong, we also have money but we were not always rich. When Blake joined dad, our business reach to the peak.
Our shares hiked up and our profit rates got double.  He was good with what he was doing and our lifestyle started changing. We shifted to a bigger house and owned some beautiful cars. I was 12 then and now I am 23. But I still like simple things.
I still believe that money can make your life better but not teach you to be happy, which is the most important thing in ones life.

I hate when people show how rich they are, how powerful they are and think they can control anyones life with snap of there finger.
My father always try to teach all of us not to drool over money or  humiliate others and always cherish what we have rather than lusting for what we don't .

My eyes went to one of book on the shelf. It was "pride and prejudice "by Jane Austen. It was one of my favorite books. No matter how many times I read it, I always feel like it's my first time.

I kept the book back. I desperately wanted to read it but it was his book. I should ask for his permission first.
