It was Adrian’s 6th birthday, he was on a chair in front of a pile of gifts, it was his birthday and he was excited. He was not excited about the gifts, he was excited that he will get to see his parents today. “Are my parents still coming?” Adrian asked the butler. “Yes master Adrian, they are on their way as we speak.” Adrian became more excited. Because of his parent’s position, he was born in one of the wealthiest family in the world. His parents were mostly busy so they hardly stay home. But because today was his birthday his parents promised him that they will be around for him. Adrian was alone today. He had no friends because he was not allowed to leave the mansion, his parents liked their privacy. Soon one of the maids came into the room. “Your Parent’s are here, they just came into the compound.” The maid said to him. Adrian jumped off the chair, he left the room and ran through the hallway to the front door. He reached the front and opened it. Now he was outside the mansion, the compound was filled with different kind of exotic and vintage cars, there was a water fountain in the middle of the compound. A car drove into the compound and stopped. His parents slowly came out of the car. His mother came out first, she was wearing a blue gown with pearl necklace and a small handbag. His father came out after his mother on his usual dark red suit. His parents where in their mid-40s. On seeing his parents, Adrian ran to them. He ran to his mother who was in front, his mother grabbed him and raised him up. “There is the birthday boy.” His mother said pinching his cheek. “Sorry we are late, we were held up by some work and we were also getting you a birthday present.” His father said. “What is the present? Where is it?” Adrian asked. “Look over there.” His father pointed at the car they came in with. Another maid came out of the car carry something, Adrian did not see what it was but then he started to hear a baby cry. “We know we have not been available for you and the only people you hang out with are just the butler and the maids so for your birthday we got you a brother.” His mother said. The maid holding the child reached his parents. His mother dropped Adrian down and took the baby from the maid. “Say hello to your new stepbrother Andrew.” His mother said as she brought the child closer to Adrian. Adrian was happy with the present his parents got him. He was happy because now he had someone he could play with and talk to. Adrian slowly placed his hand on the baby. The butler walked up to them, “Sir Reginald, Mrs. Diane. Everything is ready for you inside as you asked.” “Thank you.” His mother said to the butler. “Alright Adrian, your little brother needs to rest, you will have plenty of time with him after that.” His mother signaled one of the maids, then one maid took the baby and went into the house. “I know we just came back but your mom and I are really tired so once we get some rest, we will spend the rest of your day with you.” His father said. They both left Adrian and went into the mansion. Adrian felt a bit sad but he was happy because his parents were still home and his had little brother now. “Come let’s go in Master Adrian, you still have more presents to open.” The butler said. Adrian and the butler went into the mansion. It was nighttime and Adrian had already opened all his presents but none of them could compare to his parent’s special gift. He was in his room thinking about how much fun he will have with his new stepbrother. Unfortunately his stepbrother was still a baby so he will have to wait a while to play with him and that made him sad. Adrian already had everything he could want because of his parent’s fortune. But he was not a spoilt child, he respected his maids and butler. Even at his age, Adrian was having dreams of traveling, seeing the world because he was always in the mansion. He also wanted to spend more time with his parent. The two things he really wanted out of everything other things were the things he could not get. As he laid down, he was feeling sleepy and was about to fall asleep but then his butler walked into his room. “Your parents are in the dining room waiting for you Master Adrian.” The butler said standing close to the door. When Adrian heard that, suddenly he no longer felt sleepy, he became excited. He immediately left his bed and rushed out of his room. Adrian ran through the hallway all the way to the dining room while his butler followed him behind. Adrian reached the dining room. It was a big room with a long dining table in the middle. There was three chairs on each side of the four corner table, one side of the table was missing a chair. His parents sat on the opposite far side of the table. Adrian was happy to see the table, there were different kinds of foods on the table and deserts too. There was also a big tall cake in the middle of the table. Adrian was excited because normally it would be just one chair and one food on the table but today it was different. “This is all for you Adrian, today is your day so we want you to enjoy it to the fullest.” His father said when he saw Adrian come into the room. The butler helped Adrian get on the chair because it was bit high. “Your little brother is sleeping now but in time he will be able to join you in times like this and more.” His mother said to him.

“And I almost forgot, we have another birthday gift for you.” His mother said. Adrian could not believe that there would be another gift better than the one his parents already gave him. “Yes, we also know that we don’t let you leave this mansion so we decided to take you on a vacation trip, just the three of us in one of our private villa.” His father said. Adrian very happy, he had so much excitement in him. It was as if his day just kept on getting better and better. “Where are we going? Where is the villa?” Adrian was excited. “Well it is a bit far from here, it’s a beach. We will go tomorrow so pack your things early in the morning so we can leave on time.” His mother said. “And of course your baby brother will not be joining us, he is too young to travel so he will stay here and be taken care of by the maids.” She continued. Adrian could not wait for tomorrow, he jumped off his chair and the butler went to him and held him. “Where are you going to Adrian?” His moth

And most you carry all those books master Adrian.” “Well you cannot have way too many books and I need something to keep myself busy. But you know, honestly I hope I don’t have to read any of this books.” “And why is that?” The butler asked. “Well if I don’t have a chance to read any of the books it means that I will be having a lot of fun at the villa with my parents, I won’t be bored to read the book.” Adrian explained. “I hope this vacation goes the way you want it to go Master Adrian.” “I hope so too, but you said that there are still more things I need pack, what are they?” The butler went to the door and opened it.

The city was always loud and lively but Adrian was used to it, he had lived here for years now so he did not let it distract him. “Guess what I got guys.” Dan said to them. Dan brought out a whine from the bag he was holding and smiled, “Where did you get that from?” Diego asked. “Another privilege for working in a place like that, I just snatched a whine from the cellar, and I doubt they will notice that it is gone. There were like hundreds there.” Dan said as he opened the wine and started to drink it. “You know that there are going to notice that one is missing, they have someone who does inventory in the cellar everyday.” Adrian said without turning back. “Well that is certainly a problem.” Dan said and took another sip of

Growing up in the orphanage he did not have the best education and the only job he can get now with his level of education was a job behind a desk and he knew he cannot do that. He had little or money and no connection so he had to figure out a way to get to the top in a short amount of time because he had already wasted a lot of time. Since there was no way he could get to the top and get to his parents level through a normal everyday job, he had to think of other ways to get that kind of money. He spent so many years thinking about it. Now he had an idea and he has been working towards it, and the first step has already been made which was getting a job at the hotel. Getting his friends the same job in the hotel was not his initial plan but he had to do it because he felt like he owed them that.

Michael was just an average guy. He was the only son of a middle class.

They all walked into the building, it was narrow at first but then it became wide. There were a lot of people inside it, it seemed more like a very exclusive night club and not a sign of fighting around. “Okay, not that I am complaining but are you sure this is the place Dan?” Diego smiled. “Well it should be, I mean shouldn’t it.” Dan replied. Adrian looked around and tried to analyze the room. He saw that most of the people here were rich and there were guards all over the place. He noticed that the place was bigger that it seemed and then he noticed when someone came out of another door, before the door closed he got a quick look inside. “We are at the right place.” Adrian said to them. “Follow me.” He started to walk towards the door. They followed him and went to door. They reached the door and entered. Now they were in a different room, they were ordinary people here.

Adrian went to the back room and saw his friends there, “Seems like you guys are ready to go.” Adrian said to them. They left the hotel through the back exit and went on home.
