Ch: 49 [Two Friends]

[3rd Person POV]

Willo Grace is the daughter of a wealthy oil businessman in the United States. She has everything within her grasp, be it money or luxury. Willo has everything. However, she yearned for something specific that money couldn't buy her... Love of her parents and true friends...

Willo's parents were always busy with their work. The only thing they provided her was nothing but money and more money. Moreover, she never had any friends due to her high status and bodyguards, who guard her 24/7. Everyone was just too nervous or afraid to approach her.

The shadow of her parents was too big for her to escape. But one day, on her 17th birthday, she just ran away from the house. At the same time, the merge occurred.

Willo became the first awakener on earth, but no one, including her, will ever know that fact. She gained the unusual power to hear others' thoughts.

Soon she was caught by the guards of her family. But when they returned, they were greeted by a massive chunk of burning meteor in place of the mansion. Everyone within the mansion's proximity died that day, including Willo's father, who came back from overseas to surprise her and celebrate her birthday.

During the rise of the awakeners, when different organizations were formed, Willo's mother wanted her to join the Justice League. But she refused and told her mother that she wanted to live her life on her own terms. She doesn't want her mother or anyone to interfere with her life anymore.

For a time, Willo worked for Fury as a consultant because her power was too good for Fury to refuse. Fury introduced her to Emma Frost and other mutants. There, she received training from Emma Frost and Jean Grey. She learned how to control her power.

Willo earned trillions of cash from her work in Shield. For the first time, Willo did something without her parents' help. And she was genuinely happy. But things soon started to feel restraining for her. So, she left but accepted Fury's request to help him out from time to time.

After that, Willo suddenly opened her first business, a royal casino and a holiday spot for families and couples, in New York. And soon, her business started to grow.

There are more than twenty casinos all over the world, which Willo opened in addition to numerous resorts, restaurants, and exotic & luxurious holiday spots. And, in terms of money, she left her mother behind. She became one of the youngest self-made rich people in the world.

However, somewhere along the way, Willo has forgotten about her childhood dreams. And before she knew it, she was surrounded by the very thing she ran away from, money.

All the people around her weren't her friends. She knows everything about them. Each of them was with her for their own profits. And none of her colleagues thought of her as their friend. They were sticking with her due to her money and fame. But from the outside, they were like Willo's besties.

When Willo became disgusted by their annoying two-face acts, she gathered everyone close to her and revealed her power. Some even found her creepy and distanced themselves from her after learning about her power to read thoughts. While others didn't care as long as they were getting paid.

...

Willo met Alex during the opening of one of her casinos, where Alex won the jackpot on his first try. And he continued to win for three whole rounds. That's billions of dollars. She tried to read his mind to check if he was cheating or winning the jackpot for real, but to her surprise, she couldn't read his mind.

Willo became horrified for the first time in years. She was so used to reading other people's thoughts that she forgot how to live or converse with others like regular people. She felt lost and almost blacked out from the shock.

Later, Willo explained her situation. She apologized to Alex for not being in touch, and they mended their friendship. She acted like nothing was wrong. But she cried every night in her empty and lonely mansion.

Willo knew that if she remained near Alex, she might not be able to hold back her feelings. So, she left and went to Italy and never came back.

Occasionally, Alex called her, and they had a great chat.

However, a couple of months ago, Alex went silent. She waited and waited for his calls until she couldn't take it anymore and called him back. But Alex didn't pick up his phone.

Willo thought Alex had moved on with his life. But she couldn't help but worry. She had a weird feeling in her heart. She felt that Alex might not be alright. So, she used her information network and learned about Alex's situation.

Willo learned about Alica's betrayal.

Willo went back to New York and rushed to meet Alex. But on that exact day, Alica sold Alex for money. She arrived at Alex's house 2 hours after his kidnapping. She thought he was out, so she came back another day.

Later Willo saw Alex from a distance when he was taking Jenny for admission. She was glad to see him doing alright but didn't dare to meet him.
