C10 Scandal-worthy

Sloane's Pov

"Stay right there, don't move!" My manager, Hilda said to me.

But I wasn't ready to listen to her.In fact, she was joking to think I would. There were some bodyguards behind Irene, poised and ready to bundle me into a car like some kind of birthday present and drive me to my dad's house.

I wasn't having that. I wasn't going to be dragged against my will, just because I got into another scandal.Scandals were part of my life because I was a fucking celebrity.

My dad just couldn't understand that. Sometimes I still wondered if he was jealous of my success at such an early age because I was the youngest, most successful supermodel in the whole country.I and my dad never bonded at the hip.

As a matter of fact, my childhood was shite.I was an illegitimate child of my parents, a product of their scandalous affair, a child born out of wedlock, a bastard child.So I was treated as such.I stayed with my mom for six years of my life, then I was taken from her to live with my dad.

My dad was a tyrant who gave me everything I wanted except from love. He was never there, he forced me to do things against my will, then if I refused, he threatened to make my biological mom's life a misery.He got me every damn time because I always agreed to his terms.

Asides from I and my mum, my dad had a wife named Hagar who bore him a daughter named Dani and made my dad raise her son; Jack, from her first marriage.I never really cared about them though, I was shipped to a boarding school and that's when my modelling career began.I stared in a commercial that went viral and I began to trend.

Luckily for me, my dad didn't oppose my modelling career and a few years after I graduated from college, I became the youngest supermodel with a large fan base.I also had a voracious indulgence in men. And that was the reason for my scandal.As a matter of fact, I was caught on camera, coming out of a hotel with a guy by six in the morning. A long article had been written about it. My dad obviously saw it and demanded my immediate presence at his house. I initially refused to see him which resulted to this!

My manager had been efficiently turned against me and there were also two huge men, sent by my dad and ready to bundle me into a car." Sloane" Hilda said with pleading eyes. "Please just come with us, don't make this harder than it already is"

I stood some distance away from them, poised to run but I couldn't go without my car keys. It was just a foot near me and I planned to grab it and make a run to my car, get in and zoom off.I needed a plan because I would get caught by those men if I acted rashly.I heaved a sigh. "Okay, Hilda" I raised my hands in mock surrender. "I'll go with you but it'll be on my own accord" I watched as her eyes lit up. "I don't want to be bundled up by those men" Hilda touched her palms together and said; "That's awesome. At least-"

I didn't let her finish, I lurched forward, grabbed my key from the table and took off." Sloane!" I heard her scream behind me as she and the men ran after me.I opened my car from a distance by pressing a button on my car key and I ran into it and slammed the door shut.

I started the engine before Irene got to the car and I drove off.Phew! I sighed when I was safely on the road. At least I succeeded in getting them off my hair.

I was going to keep stalling until my dad forgot about seeing me concerning the scandal because I had no plans of seeing him.I whistled as I drove and enjoyed the cool breeze that blew on my face until I noticed a silver car following me.Darn it! Couldn't Hilda just give up on chasing after me? I wasn't some kind of fugitive. I stepped on the accelerator pedal and my car sped up. I planned to lose them.

That way, they'd stop chasing after me.I began to drive in a zig zag pattern, cutting through cars and honking like a mad person. I didn't know where I was going to but I just kept driving.

I didn't care though, all I wanted to do was lose Hilda and those thugs. After approximately forty minutes of trying to evade Irene, I finally lost them. I heaved a deep sigh of relief as I began to slow down. I felt suddenly tired and my ankles hurt. It had been so long I drove a car so I wasn't really surprised to feel this way.

Deciding I wasn't going drive anymore, I parked my car by the side of the road, got down and began to walk.I stopped in front of a dreary looking building and I got in.It was a grave site.

I gasped at the melancholic atmosphere in here. It was as though the colour of the clouds here were different from the ones outside. Well, that was expected, since I was in a place where dead people resided.Intrigued because I had never been to a grave site before, I went further inside.

Luckily, there weren't many people in there so I felt safe because I wasn't going to be seen much here.I couldn't afford to be seen, it would create another scandal when I wasn't done with the present one. I looked around as I went further inside and saw people standing in front of graves, some were weeping, some were kneeling down while some cried.

A particular grave caught my attention and I stood and stared at it until I heard the sound of a camera making a shutter sound. I turned and realised I was being photographed."Isn't that Sloane Anderson?" I heard some one ask and I swore under my breath.Oh no! I couldn't afford to be seen by more people for it could create another scandal. I immediately turned on my heel and made to scurry away but I bumped into someone.
