Jela Annastasha Smith, the only heir of Smith Oil Company.

Her father was the CEO of Smith's Oil Company, a well known ruthless business tycoon and a father to Jela. Jackson Smith's words are authority to their house and company.

Jela's mom is Annastasha Smith, a celebrity fashion designer and owns a chain of clothing lines, soft spoken, and she's the living definition of the word sophistication, but she's a slave to her husband's command.

Being the only child and having one of the most influential and rich as Jela's parents, are what some kids wish for, specially when you have some annoying siblings and bills that keeps on counting.

But for Jela, having a parents like hers is scary, expectations are high, and failure is a big no, no.

For some, home is their comfort zone, where they feel relaxed and comfortable, they are the boss and it's the safest place to stay.

But for Jela, her home is like her prison, every move are being watched, she lives with her father's rules and command, and she can't do what she wanted.

And for a long time, she wanted her freedom.

The only freedom she have is reading, and the only good thing her father didn't bother to decide for herself is choosing her friends.

Jela's childhood memories are limited or she wasn't able to live with it, she might say.

Books are her only company, and maids and butler are what she used to see.

Her parents are always busy, and she don't have a siblings to play, that's why socializing is her least priority.

School is her only outlet in going out. At first she's home schooled, but her parents decided to sent her in a regular school when she's in highschool, where she can meet different kinds of people, for her to be acquainted and use when she's going to handle their business.

At first, Jela is awkward in meeting people, she's like a monkey being pulled out from her jungle. Thanks God she met her two best friends, where her father didn't mind.

In school, Jela was able to have a little liberty, she was able to choose who she wants to be friends and find love, but like any ordinary people, she experience failure.

Because of what her dad said and what she experienced, Brandy and Liza were the only people she trusted.

When it comes to men, at first she was naive and new and love the attention she gets, she easily give in, not only once but for the third time that she failed, she learns that some men were selfish and heartless, and now, she do have some trust issues with them, some just wanted her father's influence, and her innocence. They will just used her and when they're done, they will leave her.

Because of her experienced with boys, that makes her thankful to her father and chose to always stay at home and work as her daily routine.

The only thing that can make her happy, and she always look forward to is seeing her best friends, Brandy and Liza for their girls time. The girls were crazy and weird like her, but she loves them, that's the only thing that makes her feel happy and don't forget her best buddy, her books.
