Chapter 49: Chapter 49

Lora’s airplane landed few hours later, as she walked out from the airport she saw a man holding a paperboard with her name “Lora Affonso” boldly written on it.

She approached the man and found out it was a driver already booked by her dad to drive her from the airport to her house.

Lora got into the vehicle, and they drove off. She peeked out through the window, taking note of the beauty of the place, she has a feeling she would love it here.

They drove into a big estate which has different but beautiful houses, the place was quite though, but it looked nothing like the house where she lived in, back at home. They're security men stationed outside the gate as well.

The houses here are bigger and look more exquisite and the distance from one house to another is about four blocks away, there's no doubt that the people living in this estate are rich.

The driver parked in front of one of the houses. “Here you go miss.” The driver said when he opened the car door for Lora to go down.

She came down and looked around the environment, the house looked quite big and it stood on it's own just like the other houses they drove past in the same estate.

Lora turned to the driver who brought her there. “Excuse me.” she said, looking at him.

“Yes miss.” The driver replied, facing her.

“Would you mind taking me to a nice boutique in this place where I can get some clothes, because I didn't pack much you see.” She asked the driver raising her small suite case up for him to see.

“Sure miss, I know a place.” He said to Lora, she gestured in acknowledgement and asked him to wait for her.

She quickly opened the door with a key her dad had given her earlier and went into the house, carring the small suit case with her, she was mavelled at how big and beautiful the living room is, and it is exquisitely furnished.

She smiled to herself because this would really suit the new Lora.

“Papa did a great job.” She said, as she placed the small suite case on the sofa, on a table in the living room, is a note and a brown envelope.

She picked up the note and it read, "In the envelope are others keys to the house, I hope you like the house, have fun princess, Papa." She picked up the envelope and opened it to see the keys.

"Thanks Papa." She said looking around.

She quickly dropped the envelope and the note, she have some shopping to do, and she don't want to keep the driver waiting and besides she needs to explore this city and make the most of the time she have here.

***

Lora threw the shopping bags on the bed in her new bed room, she is just entering the bed room for the first time since her arrival as she did not do that because she wanted to shop first.

She then walked around the room, and decided it's time for her to tour around the house, she wants to know how her new place of residence looked like, and she is loving what she sees.

She walked in a different air unlike the old Lora, at a point she stopped to see her reflection in a mirror in one of the rooms, she was marveled at how different she looked.

She had actually gotten rid of the cloth she wore to this place at the boutique she had gone for shopping earlier today after her arrival, and had also done some makeover.

She had asked for the help of one of the sales representative at the boutique and also at the beauty saloon, and she is marveled at how beautiful and attractive she looked, even her hair which they made fun of those days in school looked so classy.

She had told them what she wanted and they gave her more than what she asked for because the girl in the mirror looked nothing like the previous Lora Affonso.

She smiled at her reflection in the mirror, and wished she had dressed like this from the beginning of school, maybe what happened to her would not have happened, she thought as she remembered how she met Catalina and Alfredo.

“Those bastards.” She said, still gazing at her reflection in the mirror. She could feel her blood boil.

She walked back to the room where she had dropped all those clothes she bought earlier, and sat down heavily on the bed.

She closed her eyes briefly and lay down on the bed facing the roof. She does not want to think about what has happened, she just want to move on with life, besides she moved to this place in other to forget them.

She laid there for a while and then, a thought hit her all of a sudden. “Why don't you go and party for a while.” A voice in her head told her.

Since she became of age, Lora have never tasted alcohol, there are even times when Catalina would tease her that she is a juicy chick, because instead of drinking alcohol, Lora would prefer drinking juice.

“I need to find the best club in town.” She thought as she picked up her cell phone and called the driver who had picked her up from the airport.

She had asked him for his phone number when he drove her to the boutique she shopped on, saying she would call him whenever she needs a ride.

“Hello.” A male voice who answered the call said over the phone.

“Hello Joel, this is Lora, the girl you picked from the airport today.” she said.

Joel is the name of the driver who had picked her up from the airport, when she took his phone number, she had asked for his name, and she also introduced herself to him, he is a young man who may be in his early thirties and he drive for a living.

“Yes Miss, you need a ride?” he asked.

“Yea sure, do you know a good club in town?” she asked. “Yes, I know a place.” Joel replied.

“Okay, pick me up in 20 minutes.” Lora said looking at her wrist watch, it's already 8pm.

She is already feeling exhausted from the flight and the shopping she did earlier, but she still wants to party so that she won't have the time to think of her messed up life.

Lora quickly scrambled through the shopping bags, looking for the perfect outfit for the night, she is going to a club for the first in her life, and in a place she does not know anyone, so the last thing she needs is to be dressed like a regular girl.

Although, she made sure that the clothes she bought from the boutique looked classy, if there is one thing she gained from her friendship with Catalina, it's the exposure she got when she went shopping with her, at least that opened her eyes, and she had made a decision to always dress like a billionaires daughter she is.

She gazed at her reflection in the mirror after she had dressed up and put on some make-up to renew the one she had on before, she smiled at her reflection in the mirror as she loved what she sees.

“This is beautiful Lora, you look beautiful.” She said to her reflection, feeling good herself.

She never knew she possessed such beauty and there she was admiring Catalina, and feeling bad about herself. No wonder Catalina had told her one time that, anyone can look good when they put on the right outfits.

Few seconds later, after she has made the final touches on her face, she heard the car park in front of her house.

“He is here.” She said as she picked up her purse and took a final look at herself on the mirror, and then went outside to meet the driver.
