Her little paradise
It took her half an hour to find a taxi, another two hours to go to her place that she calls home, a little paradise of Alina.
She was cursing those useless filthy humans. But her thoughts were diverted to her little paradise.
Her home was an adorable little cottage located at Peach blossom District, which has high security clearance and not many people can pass through the gates.
Peach blossom District was a well respected neighbourhood hence there was rarely a commotion.
It was the well known and prosperous district in Metropolitan city, located in the heart of Metropolitan city university Campus, there was everything within the district, shopping mall, super market, gym, almost everything.
It was more convenient for people to stay and less of a hassle to go out of the district to purchase daily necessities as well as luxuries. Peach blossom District was for the people who wanted privacy and didn't want others to disturb their lives.
Besides, Peach Blossom District was closer to the most well known and prestigious university, Metropolitan City University.
Since it was located within university, many wealthy student as well as teachers live here. It has a lively and healthy environment.
Alina found this place to be the most convenient and resourceful paradise after her divorce.
It was her secret lair. It really was a peaceful safe haven for many people, especially for people like Alina.
In her previous life, she thought of this place whenever she wanted to hide or isolate herself from worldly affairs.
This place was her safe haven. She had a peaceful life as if no would ever strike here.
This was her celestial longitude were she built her personal secretary, IRA.2 a replica of IRA after it was dismantled by those deranged humans.
With IRA around her, she was the empress of the Xi Corporation as well as the master mind behind the technological links to its sister companies.

Her grandparents gifted this little cottage on her 18 birthday.
She called it Peach Blossom Paradise or PBP since it had wonderful peach blossom trees within the vicinity of her cottage, this miniature section give a celestial feel as if the peach blossom leaves are dancing around calling for happiness, years passed by yet her peach blossom trees bloom all years around.
A wonder.
She didn't step foot in this angelic place in her previous until she didn't have a place to retreat after her escape from seven years imprisonment.
She didn't think much about this little cottage when her grandparents gifted her.
Alina was indifferent to worldly desires as she was busy teaching and disguising herself to be someone else; hence she has no time to pay attention to a mere property.
She has more than she needed or ever could ask for, however, everything was snatched from her.
Alina had a self depreciating smile on her face when she thought how ungrateful she was and how much of a loser she was for trusting the wrong people.
Fortunately, she did not share this property with her family unlike the other ones.
She was really stupid and blind. She would give into her parent's every whim without hesitation while pampering her sister rotten. But what did they do?
Stabbed her ruthlessly. Even an animal appreciates a kind gesture. Despite studying psychology for years she could never fathom human heart.
It's unpredictable and dangerous. We never know when it changes.

She was just a small girl, even though she never cared about anything, she still craved for parental love which her cheap parents never showered her with.
By now she was numb to their cruel actions.
As a teenager she was always of jealous of her younger sister, as she felt her sister had everything.
Even then Alina spoiled Carolina as she felt like it was her job as her brother Allen to spoil her younger sister.
But deep down, her naive little heart knew that Carolina was much luckier, she had her parents love, people loved her, she was sociable and kind unlike her.
She felt suffocated that everyone knew there were two princesses but they forgot who the real princess was.
Alina was so desperate for her parents love thus she ignored her beloved grandparents. She didn't know how lucky she was until she lost everything.
Even though she has the perfect vision, she was blind. She chose stupid magpies over phoenixes.
When her grandparents were alive, they gave her everything that world could provide before she even blurted out, she would always show it to her parents, instead of being happy for her they would always scoff at her, taunting her for being unfilial and mean to her younger sister by showing off her wealth.
All she ever wanted was to share her happiness. She was just a little girl, how would she know what it meant by showing off one's wealth?
According to them, she was greedy and unreliable. Her heart spasmed ever time they spit out those vile words, but she chose to close her eyes and endure everything.
