In a world where social classes have largely separated, the scarcity of resources has divided society, from the lower class to the rich and powerful. Cities are now metropolises that encompass everyone from the lower class (the poor) to the upper class (the rich or influential). But that's not a problem for Vanessa, the magnate of "Jade Eyes," the world's only jewelry exporting company and one of the most influential in a world filled with wealthy people hungry for luxury.
The Dubai penthouse glows with golden lights and the hypocritical murmur of the rich. Vanessa Acheampong sits on a white leather sofa, her slender, commanding figure contrasting with the decadent opulence around her. Between her long, manicured fingers, a cigarette burns slowly, the smoke drawing lazy spirals in the air. Beside her, her purebred bloodhound—an imposing mastiff with eyes as cold as hers—rests, alert but motionless, like a loyal guardian.
She wears an impeccable white suit: the jacket rests on her shoulders like a cloak of power, the tight slip skirt reveals the seductive play of her black tights in the dim light. Her sharp heels, as lethal as her tongue, rest crossed in front of her. She doesn't dance. She doesn't laugh. She doesn't bother feigning interest.
Instead, her green eyes—cold as emeralds under a knife's edge—scan the room. Every fake smile, every calculated handshake, every mumbled whisper… it's all registered in her relentless mind. She takes another slow draught, exhales the smoke with disdain.
"Fascinating," she mutters, only to herself, as she watches an oil tycoon stumble drunkenly. "So much money wasted on bodies that can't hold it." Her hound growls slightly, as if understanding every word. She smiles—a small, dangerous gesture—and strokes its head with her black-polished nails.
She's not here to socialize. She's here to remind each and every one of you that even among predators… there's a hierarchy. And she's at the top.
