Privileged Stories

The worst part? He's my fucking teacher. ******** Amber wanted to get rid of her virginity. Being a virgin was a thing to be looked down upon at Vale Crest Academy, the school for the privileged people of Vale Crest.

A tale of intergenerational BIID over centuries. In prep school I became a close friend of Brian Meadows. His mobility impairment was obvious. Over time its cause became evident as he described a peculiar turn of mind shared by generations of privileged ancestors whose story reaches back well into 18th century France. This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons or situations other than those that are clearly general knowledge is pure coincidence. The story is excerpted and adapted from my much longer novel "Buddies." I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I have writing it.

I know no-one likes to put a downer on their day, but after seeing so much world-wide suffering in the news I realized, that although raising a bit of money or awareness for charity wouldn't make that much difference, just how ignorant and oblivious we choose to be about the suffering of others across the globe. So despite mere thoughts not helping those in war-torn countries much either, I wrote this to show the importance f just sparing them a thought every now and then while we enjoy our relatively safe and prosperous Western society-only then can we realize how lucky we are.

At the immaculate halls of the Institut Montferand, Paris's most prestigious finance school, money is more than a language - it is a border. Rebecca Diallo, a brilliant scholarship student raised by a single mother working as a nurse's aide, enters this world armed with sharp lucidity and the most dangerous weapon of all: merit. There, she comes face to face with the heirs of a world that leaves nothing to chance - the De Bellamie brothers. Édouard, the elder, the designated successor, wields a cold intelligence and a disarming, calculated charm. He reads people the way others read balance sheets: efficiently, and without sentiment. Victor, the younger, charismatic and more impulsive, shines effortlessly, buoyed by the kind of confidence only those who have never tasted failure can afford. Between Rebecca and the brothers, a complex game unfolds - a mix of attraction, rivalry, and shifting power. In this microcosm where every gesture has a price and every silence a meaning, alliances form as quickly as they fracture. Rebecca soon understands that brilliance isn't enough to survive here: she must learn to decipher everyone's interests... and protect her own. A novel of class struggle and self-ascension, Compound Interest explores what is gained - and what is lost - when you rise in a world designed to keep you out. It is the story of a young woman who refuses to apologize for her brilliance, and of a family in which each heir carries a different truth about power.
