The beast and I

Chapter 5

                Kiara

      It's been weeks since Ian and I saw each other. I still find it hard to believe that Elena is still with him even after he tried to rape me. She's such a bitch and each time I see her all I want to do is to punch her in the face for being so gullible. But, what do I care?

       It's just me seated in my room, right in front of the mirror trying to figure out the lyrics for that particular tune that keeps playing in my head. I didn't tell Amy the entire story as to how I got the tune because I was still trying to figure it out myself. I couldn't quite grasp if what I saw that night was real or I was just hallucinating. That night's event kept playing in my head and the more I remembered that man's face, the more the tune plays continuously in my head. It all seems so real but, how?

        Mum pushed open the door and brought me out of my thoughts. "Honey, your meeting with Kelvin Stark has been scheduled for today. Aren't you ready yet?" Sometimes I feel like she's the one signing the deal. Not a day passed by without her mentioning the contract rules to me. Thank the heavens it's happening today or else I might as well run from home.

       "I'll be down in a sec," I said to her as I stood up from the chair and into the bathroom.

                 °§°§°§°§°

       "Row row row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily merrily merrily merrily, life is just a dream."

         I know, right? Who are these two year olds? But, news alert, they are actually grown ups sitting at the back of the car and reliving their good old days while I, the daughter is still finding it hard to concentrate on the road with all this noise going on.

    "Can you both just shut up or I might reconsider driving safely," I threatened them and they both covered their mouth like children making me roll my eyes.

          The car was silent until Jennifer Anderson let out a muffled laugh and Jacob Anderson thought it wise to join his wife.

   "One more noise and i swear to God, I turning this car around," I said and they kept mum for good this time. It was crystal clear that I was pissed off and they know better than to mess with this side of me.

        Finally, for what seemed like ages, we arrived at the Stark company. It's quite wierd as they were the one who suggested the deal and still instructed us to meet at their own company. I'm the one who's supposed to choose the location not them but they feel so high and mighty that they couldn't even ask if I was comfortable or not with it.

      Come on Kiara, don't forget their boss came all the way to your studio to have a one on one meeting with you but instead he saved you from sexual assault.

       I hate it when my thoughts are always right. Anyways, Kelvin did save me so meeting him in his office is the least I can do.

       I got down from the car and so did mum and dad. Not that she was here to cheer me up but instead she wants to check out new clothes to add to her collection and dad just wanted to see the company for himself. In summary, I'm the only one meeting up with this so called god model and I'm so nervous that I've got sweaty palms.

    "Look, it's Kiara Anderson," a fan from the crowd said and everyone ran to get my autograph, alerting the security. The ran to cover me and take me inside. I finally had a breath of fresh air or so I thought.

        Staff members gave me different types of stares. It's clear they wanted to walk up to me but I'm sure office protocols doesn't accept it. With my signature smile, I walked up to the receptionist.
