Prologue

 I walk to the Closet room to check if I lack anything. I just lack this pumps…after I wear them, I check myself in the wall mirror of the room to double check everything. And as I stand in front of the mirror, I see a self-contain-looking lady stares back at me. She’s in her black Luoboutin pumps, wearing her signature outfit: White chiffon top and Black pencil skirt. Her medium wavy light auburn hair is artfully tied into a ponytail. Her face is applied with light make-up: mascara on lashes, little amount of blush-on to put some color on her pale cheeks, but her simple lips is filtered with red lipstick that matches her face…and her identity…strong.

Monique Russeltowe. This is me. This is what I’ve become. Past and time molded me…learning to become strong in the hard way. And all of my struggles and try-hards are rewarded. CEO of MHI. I work for myself. I’ll make sure no one will know that little girl. People will always see a woman who is fearless.  And I’m never gonna be fooled and be abandoned again. And with all that I have today, I sealed away all what happened long time ago.

Did I?
