Chapter One

How your life can change with just one letter

Ashley had just hit the jackpot, her grandfather's inheritance. Her grandfather was the founder of Neptune's rings, the most expensive jewelry store in Neptune or in fact anywhere. If you are a millionaire or billionaire, this is where you shop for jewelry. She had just decided to live on her own because she turned she turned 18 just a week ago.

Ashley was in her black Mercedes on her way to the Neptune Grand, where she planned on staying for a couple of months because she was looking for a house.

She checked in and went up to her room. It's called the master modern suite. When you first walk in you see a modern looking living room. It had a black normal sized couch, a plasma tv faced to the couch, and a clear black coffee table with black coasters placed on so it stays clean. When she went to the bedroom she saw the biggest bed she had ever seen, it also had a red bedspread. After she toured the rest of the hotel room she was going to stay for a couple of months, she decided to go to sleep because if she planned on getting up on her own she would have to go to bed now.

After Ashley woke up she decided to go to Mars investigations. She had put this aside for 3 days already!

When she got to Mars investigations she was glad to see someone was there.

So she walked up and said, "Veronica, I need your help."

"If i got a nickle every time i heard that, I'd be more rich then my boyfriend." Veronica said.

Ashley walked up to Veronica and said, "Veronica, are you willing to help me or do i have to take this case to Vinny Vanlowe ."

Veronica then said, "Hey, I didn't say i wouldn't take your case, I was just trying to make a joke!"

Veronica sat down and got her notebook so she could write down the information Ashley would give her. Ashley go the point so she began to tell Veronica about her case.

"You see my grandfather died just last month and had given all his earnings that he had the past fifty years to me and gave my brother the company and store. Well I was going to the store about three days ago at night to get something I had left there. Well when i got there the door was open which is weird cause he closes the store at 5 p.m. I called his cell phone but it went straight to voice mail which is also weird cause he doesn't have it off it's always charged. Then i called his wife and she said she hadn't seen him all day. Veronica I need your help, I need to know that my brother is okay. I'll pay you whatever you need."

Then Veronica said " Okay, and what's your brother's name?" " Mark Swell." Ashley said."You mean the Swells, and your grandfather is Lyode Swell founder of Neptune's rings the most expensive jewelry store... like ever! wow!"

Ashley then asked, "Will you still help me?" Veronica then said in response and not knowing what she was getting herself into."Okay, sure."

Nobody in Neptune knew that Ashley was the granddaughter of Lyode Swell not that she didn't want to be known just because she hadn't known but found out just last month when her grandfather died at the age of 80. When she found out that she was now practically the most richest 18 year old in Neptune, she decided to change her last name like her brother did. So instead of Ashley Steele it's Ashley Swell, she liked it better and everyone knew who Swell was. The school as on Summer vacation so nobody at all knew she was Ashley Swell and nobody knew Ashley Steele either. She was more poor than a pch biker, she didn't live in a house or an apartment, she lived in a rat of a hotel room. She didn't have friends or anything either so when she got the letter that she was is fact the granddaughter of Lyode Swells she was so happy to be rich, but yet so sad that her grandfather had passed away and she didn't get to go to the funeral because the letter came to late.

Everyone in town was filled with sorrow and wonder, wondering who would take over the jewelry company and all his earnings . When they heard that he had grandchildren just shocked them they found out that Mark Swells took over the company and store but had no idea who got all the money not even Veronica or Keith Mars. But with 3 more days left of summer vacation everyone is going to find out. That's what she decided and that's what is going to happen that was her plan for about a week.
