' "Leave me alone !" I screamed at him through my tears ,which were flowing rentlessly now .I ran up the stairs to my room , throwing the door shut and locking it . I ran to my bed ,flinging myself on the floor to retrieve my duffel bag .I reached swiftly between the mattress and box spring to grab the knotted old sock that contained my secret cash hoard.
Charlie was pounding on my door.
"Bella, are you okay ? What's going on? " His voice was frightened.
"I'm going home," I shouted, my voice breaking in the perfe--'
" Ivohlin can you please put the book down , we are going to the Art Gallery in half an hour and you are not yet ready." A honeyed voice disturbed Ivohlin as she was reading her book for the fourth time .
She looked up at the and gave a thumbs up sign as an 'okay ' to the voice.
Ivohlin went to her bed and looked at her clothes which she was going to wear today at the Art Gallery . She was excited for the occasion but also had a nervous feeling cause there will be many people who would be coming to see and buy her paintings .
She was going to wear a loose black hoodie with free size denim jeans . Her dark brown coloured hair were tied up loosely at the back as she has to wear a bucket hat and a black mask which will be covering her whole face leaving her dreamy brown eyes . It wasn't new for her . It just like the same one she wears every time when she goes out.
She looked at Verena with her mouth wide open .She was wearing a beautiful red flowy dress , her face was slightly layered with a thin layer of make-up and her plump lips were layered with a pretty red lip tint giving it a glossy look .
Oh how much Ivohlin wished she could wear the same dress or wear the make-up only she knows.
But she can't cause she is the one who can not let the world see her not Verena.
" Ivohlin , Are you ready to go ?" Verena said with her same honeyed voice.
Ivohlin nodded as she stood up and went towards the door . She looked the new car which was parked just in front of her house.
Her guards opened the gate as she sat down on the backseat bowing politely waiting for Verena to start the car .
After fifteen to twenty minutes they reached their destination.
Ivohlin happily jumped out of the car . Somehow excited to see strangers to buy her Art pieces , those stranger who doesn't even understand the meaning and emotion behind the paintings .
" I'm going to start the auction . Don't go anywhere without informing me, Okay?" Verena said looking at the younger girl as she nodded .
Verena stood up at the podium adjusting her mic as she started introducing herself and the event .
" Good Evening everyone . As you all already know, I'm Verena the Manager of one and only present biggest Artist of the country Ivohlin . We all are gathered here for this auction of her wonderful paintings . So let's begin . The first painting is -"

" So let's begin the auction . "
Many buisness men and women looked at the painting . Impressed by the talent of this mysterious girl Ivohlin. Everyone of them were ready use there money on the painting .
"$7 millions " a man with broad shoulders and moustaches said .
"$10 millions " A women with white gown catch up .
There are some more people who stood up .
The painting finally was sold in $15 millions .
Ivohlin didn't care who bought the painting as she was lost thinking about the time she started painting this .
She remembered the meaning of the painting which no one can see 'that is no matter how much colourful her life looked she was still alone in the world'. She thought of painting this when she saw a news reporter telling people how much money she has. In others eyes her life is perfect cause she has enough money but they don't even know that how lonely she feels.
The occasion was started to end now . All her paintings were sold with high prices.
Verena looked very happy as she came slightly jumping towards Ivohlin smiling brightly.
"Ivohlin today was definitely a wonderful day. Now let's go back home and eat something I'm hungry and I'm sure you are too"
Both of them went towards their car smiling not knowing what might have happened when they were out.
