STANDING ON THE BALCONY, Marissa inhaled the fresh and clean morning air. It's peaceful and quiet like she dwelled in an actual fairy tale.
How long has she been dreaming of this moment?
To be here wearing the most expensive velvet nightgown, the diamond emblem on the breast pocket converting it more lavish than one could expect. Taking a small sip of her espresso, she scrolled through her phone.
Someone opened her bedroom door and sauntered inside. Marissa stood unbothered for one person had permission to do so.

Marissa smiled. "That's good. Let them experience hunger."
"Some of them are claiming they have medicine to take and they had not quite eaten last night."
"Screw them. They are waiting for one more hour at least. Order three chairs for Zaeem, you and I added to that table."
