A scandal with Mr CEO

Chapter 20

Kiara

The past week was filled with different activities, it was one thing to the other. There were a few fittings for the wedding dress and a few people would come once in a while to ask questions as regards the theme, colors, and decorations I would prefer. Antonio wasn't involved in the preparations, he showed no signs of interest in anything that exceeded those papers and Luke would show up once in a while but all in all, it was obvious they were both very busy. At least, this time the business doesn't concern me and I don't have to aimlessly stay in one room for hours.

Today, however, is a very different day. Seeing I'd been getting quite the amount of publicity I could, it's safe to say I'm now mentioned anywhere the name Russel is heard. I rejected quite several interviews and I wasn't allowed to talk to anyone with a camera. I didn't argue about it cause I wasn't prepared either. I wouldn't stay in the shadows for too long and this is just of those days. The first ever actually.

I was a few minutes away from getting interviewed or whatever this is, I'm going to be on TV, that's the point. I had the best dress on and my face carefully caked and let me tell you, my manners were over the top. I would risk causing a breach in the agreement if anything happens, one that would cause me to refund everything including custody I didn't have yet.

"Ready ladies?!" The man from behind the camera asked and the reality of it started dawning on me. The huge cameras in front of us, the lights everywhere, the very pretty lady in front of me with a bright smile on, everything looked so unbelievable.

"Born ready!" Evelyn, the interviewer replied on our behalf, even though I knew that answer sure wasn't for me

"Three! Two! One! Action!"

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the most anticipated interview of the week! Today, we have the pleasure of introducing someone who embodies passion, beauty, and elegance. This incredible woman has not only achieved a remarkable position in the social industry but has also stolen the heart of business tycoon, David Russel. It is with great excitement that we welcome our guest, Kiara Russel Sky!"

Russel? We've not even done the wedding yet.

"So tell us, how does it feel to be here? Your first ever time on the screen?"

"Sensational is the word, I can feel the rush already"

"Great to hear. It's just a way of meeting with the public. Everyone's so excited to meet the woman strong enough to win over such a heart"

I can bet you, it's not me

"We've heard quite several things about you" She continued "From the scandal that had the internet shaking to the rumors you were just his assistant to this moment, where your story warms the heart of everyone."

It's a surprise to me too. Everything happened so fast, it makes me question if it's just a dream"

"They're still a few blurry parts, however. Some say you were a part of the original interview, quite many witnesses actually"
