Rihanna Drive

This is the road that shaped an island girl with big dreams into a billionaire mogul and the protagonist of this story. 
This community is where it all began, in a green and yellow house to be exact, accented with red trimmings and bright blue pavements. 
Set on the side of a narrow road, where one end is a window to the sea and the other is a peep into West Bury cemetery, 
a place where Rihanna holds fond memories.
