Chapter 1: Evelyn's Life is a Joke!

There is no escape.

Everything is right here.

Everything that has ever mattered is right infront of me.

Then why do I feel so out of place?

Is this not my world?

Where do I belong?

...

I always knew my life was playing a cruel joke on me. No, seriously, I have noticed it. Despite of having everything, I had nothing. I had my father, but didnt have enough attachment with him to call him 'dad'. I had money but didnt have any friends to siblings to spend on. I had already completed my secondary education, but was yet to step in a real high school.

Sad... Isn't it?

But true...

Have you ever heard of The Frost Enterprises? I guess no, because it doesn't come up that much. If you arent involved in direct corporate business, you would never ever hear of it or its owner- Mr. Jonatthan P. Frost. He is the leading business tycon of his field. And he owns it. And also is my father.

My mom's dead ,Or murdered. Depends on who you believe. Mr. JP Frost believes that its was a revenge planned on by his jealous counterparts. Granny (yes i do have a GRANDMOTHER! How do you think i was surviving in Frost Mansion!) believes- Fate. Actually she had a feeble and weak heart, which didnt support her too long. I was two.

My granny was one of the most peculiar persons that I had met (but then I didnt go out to be in the company of others much..). And yeah, she's actually my great grandmother, but as there is no nickname for it, I stick to plain-old 'granny'. So anyway my granny- Mrs. Daniella Ann Frost is my father's Grandmother( it sounds crazy but she is like 90 or something!). She was my only friend, companion, guide, mentor, and everything that you can think of. I couldnt imagine my life without her.

Remember how I told you my life was playing a 'cruel joke' on me?

We knew granny was dying. Internal organ Failure. Happens all the time. We saw her grow fragile and weak. We saw her fading slowly. But there was something that had kept her alive all these years. Something that made her watch the rise and fall of the Frost. Something which she only shared with me...

" Granny, you called? What is it? Did you take the medicines? Hey do you want me-" she cut me midway.

" Calm down Evy. I am alright."

I looked at her. No. She WASNT alright. Sensing my rebuke she quickly said,

"I want you to do something for me,Evelyn"

Okay, when someone uses full-name-BE on high alert- something BIG is coming up.

She continued,as I nodded, handing me a small photograph that I hadn't noticed before "I want you to find her". I looked down at the old photograph.

The picture had two girls. Sisters,maybe by the looks of it. But the photo was too old to be sure- black and white. One was in her teens while the other was just a toddler- five or six maybe.

I turned the picture to find two names etched on the back.

I read them out loud in wonder,

"Danniella and Esme. ."
