Alyssa wore from a stat. she wiped the sweat droplets from her forehead, she was sweating profusely. Her breathing was ragged and heart was pounding from all that adrenalin rush. She looked around her tiny room and felt a little bit at ease recalling that it was just a dream.

She sat up to drink some water and started recalling her dream. But everything was blurry. She tried hard to recall, but just like the slipping sands held in a fist, the memory of her dream was slipping away. All that she can remember was cold blue eyes.

Alyssa decided to now be in control of her future. She knew she can acquire everything that she wants and the very first thing she wanted in her life was her dignity.

She was not a pushover and she was never a doormat. Those people were crossing her bottom-line day by day. She knew silence and peace was not the answer, and neither they can understand it.

Alyssa used to think that by tolerating these hards.h.i.+ps, maybe one day they will grow up and become mature and will know what is wrong from right. But they took her tolerance as her weakness.

"Now I will show them what I am really capable of. I Alyssa Serena Norrell, from today onwards, will never back down from a fight. I will show them what I am capable of." Alyssa solemnly pledged in her heart and prepared herself from future struggles.

She was seventeen-year-old and was going to be eighteen in just fifteen days. These 15 days were crucial for the eyes of every citizen and media will be upon her. After these 15 days, she will officially become a member of the royal family. Her name will be registered in the 'Book of Names'.

Book of Names is actually a book recording every adult member of the royal family. After the writing ceremony no one will shake her position as a royal member and no one can disown her and abdicate her t.i.tle. Where ever in the world she will be, she will be Princess Alyssa Serena Norrell of Coral Bells.

This ceremony was what keeping violet on edge constantly for if Alyssa became the princess officially, then she will never get a chance to become a princess and marry Xander, son of King Antonio.

Alyssa was sore in her mother's eyes, but her mother never thought of abandoning her just because she never wanted to tarnish her reputation any further. She just never wanted to acknowledge her existence and Alyssa was like an invisible person to her. But she will personally kill Alyssa if she will make her reputation from bad to worse.

Alyssa once again went to Fate Alley. 20,000 dollars was not enough for her to support her life on it. And if Violet wins in her schemes, even after inheriting her t.i.tle, she will find Alyssa even from her grave and make her life a living h.e.l.l. She needed money. Lots and lots of money. Alyssa wanted to become powerful so that no one can further trouble her. She wanted an army of her own, so that she can protect herself in times of need.

She reached the Fate Alley.

She was having her meal in a regular restaurant and was listening to the people around her.

"Wow, have you heard about 'Tyche'?", one of the customers exclaimed while shaking the arm of his friend.

His friend scoffed and said," Of course."

"NO, no, not the real, real G.o.d one. I mean the real, human one."

His friend looked at him as seeing an idiot and refrained himself from beating him.

Knowing the look on his friend's face he shoved his mobile into his friend's hands and said, "look".

But before he can read the article, a couple near their table said to them, "Are you new here?, don't you know about Tyche, tsk, tsk, if I were you I will go to her temple to personally apologize to her and offer her some cash."

"Yes, yes you should go. It was said that she smelled different like none of us. According to the people at that stall her smell was out of this world."

Alyssa's ears perked. She found their conversation very interesting.

The idiotic friend continued, "It was said that she was the first person to win the betting in 'The Never Won Round' shop and got their highest grand prize of 20,000 dollars. And after that other people also started winning making the shop loose its fortune. Now they are planning to sell their shop as they are going to become bankrupt soon.

Alyssa realized that they were talking about her. In just a single day she has caused so much of commotion. She sighed. She felt a little bad about the shop owner but then again it was business, and it all depends on luck and merit. She again sighed.

Alyssa decided to change her appearance to stay away from any commotion and save herself from further problems.

She decided to change her appearance and her clothes. She had deposited her 15,000 dollars in the bank and was left with 5,000 dollars.

Alyssa went to a shop selling make up products and artificial hairs. After studying different types of makeup products, she decided to buy a few of them suitable for her 'avatar'.

Then she went to a local shop nearby and decided to buy some men clothing, extra pads and perfumes, to conceal her height and girly figure as well as her scent.

With now a little bit more than 1,000 dollars in her pocket, she went to the washroom in a little cafeteria with no CCTV to change her appearance. Now she was ready to beat the world and of course to earn more money.
