Every morning, Zoelle descended from the opulence of her penthouse, an unspoken battleground where memories of her upbringing lingered.

Yet, solitude haunted her, a constant companion that echoed in the expansive rooms of her apartment.

Seated in the plush interior, Zoelle's gaze lingered on the passing cityscape. Tall buildings stood like sentinels, witnesses to the relentless rhythm of urban life. The hum of the engine and the soft purr of the tires against the pavement provided a soothing backdrop to her thoughts.

As the car glided through traffic, the familiar vibration of her phone disrupted the quiet ambiance. Retrieving the device from her handbag, Zoelle noticed the incoming call from her mother. The anticipation of an upcoming board meeting was momentarily eclipsed by the intrusion of familial expectations.

Answering the call, Zoelle could already sense the stern and demanding tone in her mother's voice.

Zoelle's Mother: (harsh, demanding) "Zoelle, where have you been? I've been trying to reach you. This is unacceptable."
