This story will all be in Francesca (Anna)'s POV

"This is the flight from Newcastle to Bangkok...."

This was it- the start of my backpack trip that i have secretly planned for months- that dreadful part-time jobs that i had to secretly take nearby my uni so i couldn't get caught; it's my first and probably final solo trip. I am excited!

Hold on! what am i saying? sorry for being rude, let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm Francesca Victoria Abraham- but you can call me Anna for short- i'm 21 and a fresh graduate- and i am currently on a 'spiritual' backpack trip and my first destination is BANGKOK!! The land of Durian and Tom Yum- and mostly a kickstart on my spiritual journey. I think i need this trip before i start my fixed future- what future you ask?

THE LIFE OF AN HEIRESS- taking over my late parents business, we are a mix conglomerate and diplomatic family- so my life, like any cliche dramas that you've probably seen, is quite fixed. Not that i am bragging, it's just... Maybe i should start from how I ended up on a plane to Bangkok.

(MAJOR FLASHBACK)

Once upon a time... hahaha i'm a fairytale now... kidding. Well, as i mentioned earlier, I am an heiress- of the Quartz Empire- my dad was a smart lad and my late grandfather trusted my dad's visions- so the business began with my grandfather's investment in my dad's business and along the line, his bestfriends invested in it as well- so one thing lead to another, that's how our family business expanded worldwide. Not that i hated my life- no! i love and appreciate it tons- because i get to meet my 2 bestfriends who are like my siblings since we are all the only child in our perspective families.

Fast forward time.

My parents died in a car crash with a drunk truck driver when they were on their way back from overseas meeting- i was 9 years old then. (Bless their souls). Well, in a nutshell- since my family along with with my bestfriends family lived in a compound, i was in their custodial rights. I had no relatives at all so they were like my relatives. At one point, when i was around 12, i was kidnapped by a business rival and since then, the security and people around me were filtered- at first, it obviously hurt me because i was still a teenager and like any teenager, i wanted to experience go out and whatsoever- but i later found out that i was used as a stepping stone- they needed a parachute and thinking that i'd be grateful of the friendship, they thought i'd bring them in, into the company by saying a few good words to my uncles (Dad's besties) who is currently the acting directors and CEO. They thought i was naive, i probably was but not my bestfriends- i found out from my 2 bestfriends when they let me overhear my so-called friends conversation, saying how easy it'll be to be rich when they're with me. I was hurt and that made me introverted.

I forgot to introduce you my bestfriends:
Nana Qistina Morsley- her dad was one of my dad's bestfriends (Or BLOOD BROTHERS, as they called it) and her mother was an international Fashion Designer- under our subsidiary fashion company, it's called Quartz.
My other bestfriend is Harvey Kris Alaine- Like Nana's father, he was also my dad's bestfriend whilst his mother was the secretarist of our fathers.

These two bestfriends of mine... they are not normal- not that i'm saying that they are weird but they have this sense of duty and protection over me. If i was to set an example, it would be like a household- where Kris is my father and Nana is my mother; they are both over-protective and over-bearing over me- so much that there are bodyguards around me- reporting my every movements.

(Fast forward to 2 days ago)

I was in the costa drinking my cafe latte- planning out my 'trip' when i received a call from Kris- who's currently in London for a business trip.

Me: Hello
Kris: Anna, baby. Where are you?
Me: I'm in Costa
Kris: Alone?
Me: No~ Micheal and Phils is outside. Why?
Kris: That's good then. Anyways, i forgot to tell you that i'm arriving in around half 3- so can you pick me up?
Me: You are lucky I am
