Monroe Lancey has always been a dreamer and an artist, and though her dreams were never actualized, her excitement to go to sleep every night never subsided. Satisfaction always came from the flashing stars and colors behind her eyelids at night as well as the drawings she penciled in the next morning.
However, a child can be content with stars and blissful visions for so long until the hardships of the world make them wonder: why do dreams never come true? She can wish on shooting stars or even on a god, yet when these hopes fall flat and celestial entities prove themselves meaningless, Monroe finds her life falling apart. When anger and turmoil swell in response to a loss, Monroe must find a way to trust the stars once more.

Mr. CEO's Fiery Nanny
I beg to differ that.", I sassed and got out of his grip ready to move out of the room when he pulled me by my elbow and the next second I was pushed on the visitor's chair. He trapped me completely by keeping his palms on the arms of the chair. "I tried to tell you patiently.", I scoffed at his words. Patience and he don't go in a single sentence. He gripped my chin making me look into his eyes."Now listen carefully Miss, I want you for my niece as her babysitter. Tell me how much you'll take and we can seal the deal." This time it was me who blinked once, twice and thrice. "But I don't want to work for you." See the reason was absolutely clear. I liked the kid since the moment I met her but I hated this man from the moment I gazed into his eyes. "How much?" I frowned."You really think your money can make everyone dance on your tips?" "1200 dollars a week." I rolled my eyes making him lean towards me." 1500?" "Make it 15000 and still I won't work for you.", I retorted and pushed him. I walked to the door and gave him one glance."Next time when you talk to me, make sure you keep all your richness aside. That's one thing that I never want to see you again, you self-centred CEO." "We shall see." . . . Brave but lonely. Passionate but sensitive. That's Arielle Summers. For everyone, Money, Assets and happiness may be supreme but to her, self-respect is prime.
