Broken

Chapter 36

Chris pov...

The doorbell rang and i looked at Sammie who was taking a deep breath. She didn't want to sit down... She wanted to stand.... She was to nervous and anxious to sit down. John would open the door and escort Kim to my office. We could hear her ask John who he was and him answering just to follow him, not bothering to introduce himself. The tension in the room was palpable... Sammie was tense, and she looked like she was about to burst into flames. The seconds it took for John and Kim to walk to my office seemed like hours... I could feel my heart beating rapidly... I took a deep breath take Sammie's hand in mine and give her a little squeeze and a forced smile while trying to get my own emotions under control...  I looked at Mike and he gave me and Sammie a reassuring nod. Harry was just emotionless. He was here as a witness and would not speak unless really necessary...

The door opened and i take a deep breath bracing myself for what is to come as Kim walked in. She stopped in her tracks as she saw all the people in the room... But her focus quickly falls on Sammie... Her face went from confused to angry all while keeping this creepy fake smile on her face in attempt to keep face... But the eyes... The eyes give her away and once again i wonder how i have always missed that... I knew it was fake because it was the same smile she would use for rude reporters. "Hello, it is so good to see you again." She said smiling her voice overly sweet... It is disgusting, even more so because her eyes scream murder... She keeps her focus on Sammie and i dont know what she would do if i and the others would not be in the room... Sammie just looked at her raising an eyebrow. "Kim have a seat..." I said cutting her of. She turned to me smiling as i studied the smile it had something sinister to it. "You found her." She coos, still that evil smile on her face. "I am so happy for you." She follows up and i want to throw up... This woman i diabolical...

I didn't respond to that statement knowing i wouldn't be able to keep my cool. John, Mike and Harry were sitting in the chairs that were standing against the wall. As if this was a show and they had front row seats. Sammie was standing against the wall behind me, still not wanting to sit down. "So, what is going on?" Kim asked innocently. I took a deep breath just rip off the band aid... Let's get this over with and get her out of my house... Out of my life... "I called you here because i am ending our contract, with other words you are fired...." I said in a cold tone of voice not able to hide my disgust as i said the words... Relief washes over me saying the words... But that is short lived... Of course, she would not go down without a fight...  

"WHAT!? why?" She said looking at me utterly shocked. I scoffed. "You can't be serious Kim... You can't possibly not know why..." I said annoyed. "Think... It is not that hard... The game is up..." I said shaking my head at her little act. "No what did i do wrong?"  She said still playing innocent but i can see the anger radiating off of her as she looks at Sammie again... I pressed play on the laptop and her voice from Sammie's recording filled the room. She looked at Sammie shocked, She stood up making John stand up to as she looked like she was about to pounce Sammie... She noticed John standing up... The man is impressive... Taller and broader than me... So not a man to be messed with... "You little bitch." She screeches her face now red from anger, she knows she caught. But i can see her gears turning as she tries to think of a way out of this... But there is no way out of this... It is done... She is done... We are done... "Chris i can explain..." She said turning to me, crocodile tears running down her cheek....

I shook my head. "No need, i heard everything i needed. That is explanation enough..." I say... "Chris... You can't possibly think that is real, it is not me... It is all fake... I dont know how she..." She started to lie and i hold up my hand for her to shut up. "STOP IT... Just stop... For once in your life stop lying..." I hiss at her anger and disgust radiating off of me and she looks at me shocked... I have never yelled at her... I have never raised my voice or told her off... "Chris..." She whispers and wants to step closer but decides against it as John steps closer to her...
