The moment Nathan brought up Shell City, I was quickly reminded of a small tidbit of information. In my previous life, Nathan was also the name of the richest man in Shell City sometime in the future. But that Nathan remained single for the rest of his life. He had donated all of his assets upon his death.

In my past life, my memory had worsened after I'd lent Whitney my luck, and misfortune had followed me everywhere. Even though I still had some of my luck, half had gone to Whitney. That left me with only half. Indeed, my luck wasn't unlimited. Once it was gone, it was over. That was what the fortune-teller had told me, looking deadly serious. So I could only rely on hard work. It didn't bother me because I didn't regret lending my luck to Whitney before. She'd deserved it because she'd given me the warmth I desperately needed at that time. From that moment on, though, we would walk our separate paths.

I forgot what it meant to be me to be a person, not a business owner. Stephen leaned in close he was warm and nice. "People see the woman " he said, "but I see the girl who helped someone in need. I see the woman who built something before she built her business. That's the Hannah I want to know." When he touched my hand it felt nice. It was not about power or money it was about being with someone connecting with someone. In the quiet of the country I finally felt at peace. I realized that winning is not about having a lot of money or a big business it's about being, with someone who cares about you, who loves you for who you're. That was a nice feeling.

It’s the most magical, joy-filled, perfect night of my life. All I need now is to win that big case… and then my life will be complete. But perfection has a funny way of slipping through your fingers when you least expect it.

Jerry accepted that explanation. He noticed Phoebe glancing at Connor a couple of times, so he remarked, "Mr. Russell really loves his wife, huh? He's personally introducing her to these big shots. People are saying that if she wants to start a project, one phone call is all it'll take for them to throw money at it. "Happy wife, happy life. Only men who know how to treat the people around them well, including their wives, will make it big in life. Mr. Russell is set for a smooth journey in life."

A concerned Eliene went further to hold her daughters both hands. "Look at me Grace, in life you can't win all the time, you learn to put in your best but always have it at the back of your mind that there's a 99% chance you are going to loose, because there are so many people who are also putting as much efforts as you are and are praying to the same God, you are praying to, if they win it means they put more effort than you or were just lucky. You loosing doesn't mean you're a failure, or a looser, it just means to try harder and do better, it's okay to loose sometimes. "

"It's just a yes or no, Psyche."

That's why it's called a competition right? What I don't understand is why you should compete with someone that's not competing against you? Getting into boy mess, in a new school for me, wasn't a part of the problem. But now that it's staring me in the face, It kinda feels exciting." I sighed, looking into each and everyone's eyes.
