Lucy Accardi, daughter of Arthur Accardi CEO of 'ACCARDI'S PROPERTIES AND INFRASTRUCTURES', and Lily Accardi CEO of one of the biggest perfume brands 'ELIXIR'.

She lives in the luxurious penthouse of the Luna Tower, a 90-storey residential and commercial building that was built by her father when she was young. She lives with her parents. She is living the dream life of many teens. She has all those things a teenager could ever ask for. Seen from the outside her family is the happiest and the dream of the most people. But in reality, her family is hollow.

Is it a happy family if its members don't talk to each other and keep fighting with each other?

Her alarm rang indicating it was 7 in the morning. She yawned, stretched her arms up, and removed her comfortable duvet exposing herself to the cold. She loved everything about winter except for the waking up part. But did she have a choice? Naah...life never gave her choices.

 A 16-year-old lone girl, trying to fight her battles on her own. She never asks for help. It's not like she never wanted people to help her or she never asked people for help. It's just no one ever helped her when she asked them, not just asked but begged. She was never like this from the start. When she was young, she used to be a jolly person, always laughing and running around the house, an all-time foodie always asking for food and living and enjoying her life to the fullest. This was her life when she was 4 or 5 years old. But then it changed. She changed. People around her changed. And now it all just seems a fantasy for her...all her memories feel like an illusion to her. 

Shrugging  she dragged herself toward the bathroom to freshen up and get ready for school. Argh...she hated school just like most of the teenagers especially high schoolers haha...

After getting ready she picked her phone and bag up and started going downstairs. After reaching the living room, she looked around and saw a canvas kept near the window with a beautiful painting drawn on it. The living room was well-lit with a modern white and golden theme with a big wall-sized window (giving a beautiful view of the whole city) on the front with a big curtain covering it. There was a canvas kept in a corner with a beautiful beach house painting drawn on it by her mom. Lucy was seeing the painting carefully and admiring it. Just then her mom came from the kitchen holding a glass filled with orange juice. Lucy used to love the orange juice her mom made so she used to prepare it for her every day. Remember the phrase 'used to' haha... "Good Morning sweetheart," said her mom. "Morning" Lucy murmured in a low tone. "Here drink this juice, I made it, especially for you". Lucy came and sat on the couch, she took the glass from her mom, and drank it all in one go as she used to do it earlier in order not to make her mom sad. 

Lucy is anorexic and does not eat breakfast. But this is not the reason she gives for not eating her breakfast. She says that "our brain works well when we are hungry" and for the interesting part, her parents agree with her as all they want are their daughter's straight A's so they can brag and flex their children in social events. After drinking juice, she went to her school with the driver her dad hired for her.

After reaching school Lucy met her three friends (two males and one female to be exact), though all four of them live in the same building still they can see each other mostly at school. All of them are one year elder than her where as Lucy is one year ahead in academics. "Yoo Lucy" said Jia excitedly throwing her arms on her shoulder. "Hiii what's up?" said Lucy forcing a small smile to not make her best friend feel sad. When they were just about to enter the corridor her other two friends or should we say crackheads came and pushed Lucy and Jia lightly. "What the hell dude..?" said Lucy in a boring tone and Jia gave them friendly punches. Then they went to their respective classes and the day went in a blur. But Lucy had this weird feeling in herself since morning that something bad was about to happen but she just couldn't figure out what.
