Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

Heaven Amelie's POV

Got to answer this last question and I'm finally done with my exams.

I happily walk to where our proctor is and pass him my questionnaires and answer sheet with a wide smile. I'm glad that the school and my professors agrees on giving me a chance to take the exams that I missed last week.

Yes, it's been a week since the incident with the Cavelli’s and Georgina. I stayed in the hospital for about 3 days. Mr and Mrs Cavelli was with me when I woke up until I got discharged. They even pay for my hospital bills.

During the three days stay in the hospital I never seen Deus. He never visits me and Donny and Nayana never mentioned anything about him either. So, I just shrugged the thought off. 

I went to the school cafeteria to get something to eat. I bought a garlic bread and plate of fettuccine. I sit near the window sill and take my novel book out of my bag. I love reading books in different genre. I also took some of my highlighters in case a certain line in the story caught my attention and emotion.

I'm holding my book on my right hand and the fork on the left since I'm left-handed. I tried to read while tossing the pasta in its sauce and put some grated parmesan cheese. Yeah, I love it with some parmesan.

I noticed the ring on my finger again. Actually, I already notice it in the hospital and it keeps me awake and thinking these past few days. As far as I remember I do not own any ring but I woke up wearing one. I asked Nayana if it belongs to her and she said no. I also asked Donny if he makes me wear it while asleep but he also said no. I even asked the nurses if it was theirs but everyone said it's mine. 

I put down the fork and my book aside. I immensely look at the ring. It is a thin band of scalloped pave diamonds perfectly sculpted in the petals of clover. It is a white gold four leaf clover ring, a lucky ring. I've been staring at it since day one.

It's so beautiful but I think it doesn't suit me. The unlucky girl wearing a lucky ring? Very inappropriate.

It looks so expensive. I never remove it ever since cause I'm afraid I'll misplace it. 

After eating my lunch, I received a call from Donny.

"Hi, Mr. Cavelli" I greeted him joyfully through the phone.

"Call me by my first name Ellie. How many times do I have to repeat that? You're being too formal" he sounded annoyed.

"Ok ok, let me repeat it then. Hi, Donny" I heard him chortled on the other line.

"Are you ready?" he asked 

"Yes, I am. I finished my exams earlier than expected." I cheerfully share my day with him like a daughter do. 

"Don't tell me you finished it early for the meeting. You don't have to. We can wait for you know. "

I'm always been amazed with how he and his wife cared for me.

"No, I read the questions carefully and took my time answering it. The exam didn't give me a hard time that's why I finished early." I explained.

"I really have a stunningly beautiful and genius daughter." His sounds like a proud father. His words hit me. No one ever said that kind of compliments to me. It makes me want to cry knowing that they appreciate me. And the way he addressed me as his daughter, it's priceless.

"We'll be there in a minute, just meet us in the parking lot, Bye." 

"Bye." he hang up and I started fixing my books and highlighters putting it back in my bag. I just apply powder in my face and some lip tints and I excitedly made my way to the parking lot.

We are going to have a meeting today about the job he offered me. I'm ecstatic about it and I hope I'm qualified to take the job. I bring my curriculum vitae with me and some other documents in case Donny asked for it.

When I arrived at the parking lot they are already there waiting. One of their bodyguards open the car door for me. The moment I enter the car I was engulfed in a tight hug by Nayana. 

"Hey" she let go of me and give me a kiss on my left cheek.

"Hi, how have you been?" I greeted her back with a smile. I also waved at Donny who is sitting beside his wife talking to someone over the phone. He smiled at me in response.

"We missed you so much. I'm glad we'll be spending time with you today." Nayana said happily while rubbing my hair.

They miss me? How come, it's been just two or three days since we last time see each other. Maybe they are really longing for a daughter. They have three sons and they are always vocal in wanting a daughter. If only they could have one. 

The car started moving. 

"Did you ace your exam? Nayana asked. 

"I think I did. I reviewed a lot making it easier for me to answer. I hope I did well" she looked at me with awe in her eyes. We continued having chit chats about school, my apartment and random stuffs. We're having a good conversation that we didn't even notice that we are already in our destination. 

"Welcome to our house, Ellie." Someone opened the car door for us. It feels like I'm living in a movie whenever I'm with them. In front of me is an enormous mansion. They never failed to amuse me with how filthy rich they are.
