Chapter 1 Introduction: My Name Is Crystal Leonardi
Hello all! Nice to meet you, my name is Crystal Leonardi. Welcome to my story and if I can say, this story is not only a story, but a journey of my life. How? You can know after you read this introduction.
Before going any further, I want to ask you: Who here has never been materialistic? Ah, it seems that it is rare for people, especially women, to admit that they are materialistic. To me, people who don't confess are hypocrites. Oops, why is your face so red, lips pursed, and ready to be angry? Am I wrong? If yes, why do you upset? LOL! I got you, hypocrite!
Okay, then, the question was changed to who, anyway, doesn't like the money? Come on, don't be shy about admitting it! Everything costs money, so it's natural, right, for us, more accurately, if I love it?
What? You don't love money? Let me ask you, you must answer this question with honesty: which one is better crying in the luxury car or walking on foot? Me? I will choose the first actually. Come on, crying in the luxury car is better than walking alone on foot. At least, no one can see your tears, except you have a driver to drive the car.
By the way, what is your answer? Remember, all must be answered honestly because if not, you only fool yourself not me. Honesty is very expensive, rare, and if the simple questions above can't be answered, how about being honest with yourself?
Why are you still reading this preamble? Curious, huh? Hahaha.... okay, I will write serious sentences and you can read them carefully. I do not care if you agree or disagree with me, but believe me, this is from my personal experience.
Have you, anyone reading this story, ever felt the pain of being insulted. Even humiliated by someone, or a group of people because they don't have a lot of money or are less capable? The worst thing is, he is your boyfriend! The person who was supposed to be the best friend to share a story with instead becomes a stumbling block, even makes self-confidence die instantly.
Lucky for them, if they have a good lover, understanding, very supportive, even he becomes a rock for the woman. As a woman, I can say that I feel jealous of you. Keep that man, and if you can, marry him immediately! This is serious and I do not play games.
You must have known at the beginning, that my name is Crystal Leonardi. You can call me Nona. The call is only for family and close friends. Apart from them, definitely call out first names. Why? Do you want protested because there is a difference between a full name and a nickname that can be so far apart? Do not protest! My life is my rules!
I am the only child in my family. It means that I do not have any brothers or sisters. My parents already passed away. It was hurting my heart and became the darkest side of my life, but I never give up on myself, my life, nor my dream.
Perhaps, some of you are curious: where is my aunt or uncle? Good question, but it is difficult to explain. I do not have any in this city, nor this country, because I live alone. Father's side and five uncles from my mother's side. I often contact them, and vice versa, it's just that we are very rarely together, so it does not matter to me, because I am strong brave, and independent enough.
Maybe, you will think I'm arrogant, too proud of myself, or various other bad opinions. Well, I can't blame you. But you have to remember that you do not know me well, and this is just the beginning chapter of my story. If you are one of my close friends, you would know how difficult my life was..
I don't know if the one reading this story is male or female. Before you open the next chapter, I have to warn you one thing: If you guys are brave enough to have a crush on Nona, you must remember it carefully, even remember if necessary, I love money so much. So, if a man has a mediocre income, step aside! I do not need you! Life is cruel, Honey! Remember, yes, even the dead need money for burial costs, let alone the living.
I don't need the protest of a self-righteous human. Just sit, relax, and continue to read my story. Now, I will take you in my world, so you know, why I love money so much.
