Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

"Ellie!! Wake up!! Damn you're going late again." I heard his loud voice from the outside of my room.

I move a bit but hug my pillow even more. I want to have more sleep.

Can he shut up for a while? I ignore him and continue cuddling my pillow. I thought he already go away but when I feel his cold hands on my feet, I know he is up to something. He pulled me slowly and I wiggle and kick him.

"Kai let me go! I want to sleep more!" I whined and he keeps on pulling me off my bed till I land on the floor with a loud thud. Damn this brother of mine.

I quickly sit and massage my head and body.

"Aww! that hurts" I glared at him and he just cross his arms in front of his chest while leaning on my bedroom door. He is raising an eyebrow at me.

"Heaven, you keep coming late to your work. You need to take it seriously or I will ask mom to transfer you to our other business. You need to take it professionally; you are not a child anymore." I rolled my eyes at him.

He always does this, scolding me early in the morning.

He used to be playful and do childish things with me but now, he takes life more seriously.

He is turning into a responsible man and mom and dad are so proud.

"Aye Aye captain" I salute at him, stand up and do a little stretch.

"Listen to me for once, okay? It's for your sake" he walks to me to mess my already messy hair.

"Enough with your Japanese anime and k drama marathons. Those things can't give you a boyfriend. Stop day dreaming" I glared at him again.

"Mean" I pouted. He laughed.

"Go now and take a bath." he looked at his wristwatch "You only have thirty minutes to kill" he pushed me to the bathroom.

It's been four years. I am living here in Australia with my best friend Alison. After that heartbreaking night in the hospital my mom offered me to go and stay here. They owned a house here because Brent is half Australian and he spent his childhood here. They also have diverse businesses in here so I didn't have to worry about living. They supported my study and as soon as Ali heard that I moved out, she decided to follow me here.

Kaiden arrived here two days ago to check on his long-time girlfriend. Well, he actually flies here every three months.

And her girlfriend is Yeah, no other than my best friend.

I didn't even know that they are together. I know that something is going on between them but they never confirmed it not until I just saw them kissing in the living room three years ago. They said they are keeping it to me because they don't want me to feel alone and sad. What?

Me and Alison already finished college and get our degree. Both of us finished school in flying colors. We are both Magna Cum Laude and my family is the happiest.

Best friend goals.

I am currently managing our restaurants here together with some pastry and coffee shops.

Adulting sucks. I can't even do Netflix and chill because even at night I still need to check a lot of things.

"Heaven!!! Eat your breakfast and can you move a little faster. Slowpoke!!" Kai is shouting at me again.

Uhhhh... I quickly dry my hair and get my bag. I wear a random stiletto. I don't care if this is not matching my dress. I need to hurry before he can come here and drag me in the kitchen. He is savage you know but still the best brother in the world.

"Good morning" I greeted my best friend who is already eating her breakfast.

"Morning" she smiled at me" Do you want to know some exciting news?" she wiggled her eyebrows.

One thing that never change through the years is that she is still nosy. She loves teasing me about news because she knows I don't want to hear about them specially if it is all something about our hometown.

"Nah ah. Save it for yourself" I said and she laughed. She and my brother really love teasing me and making fun of me. Tsss.

Ever since I left the country, I never heard I mean I ignored all the latest news in our hometown. Mom and my family are always calling me and they never shared anything about what's going on in there specially if it is all about the Cavelli's. So, I really don't have any idea on what happened to them after I left. I never read news and I even deleted all my social media accounts.

Actually, I am planning to go back for just short vacation but after all these years I think my heart is still not ready.

There's a lot of what ifs in my head.

What if the media will know that I'm finally back?

My mom and dad already told the public that I am their daughter gaining a lot of reaction and according to Kai I quite get famous.

What if I suddenly have emotional turmoil while staying there?

What if I saw him with his own family? Will I be ready? Can I promise that I can really be happy?

I don't know.
