Chapter 1: The Escape
Beep Beep, this annoying alarm just won't stop, who on Earth invented this thing...Argh It is Monday, every other day sounds nice but there's this feeling I get on Mondays, that starts awful, stressful, and ends with a bad mood, huh Monday is not just my favorite day of the week. Did I mention that I get Grumpy every morning?
For starters I am KEIRA Auburn Wirthfod. 5"4, with Auburn hair, shining ruby eyes, paled skin, and any other qualities, you'll get to know soon.
I got in the shower and got prepared for the day. I feel surprisingly good about my Outfit today ( black strapless Crop top, black leather pants, and my designer biker jacket) if you haven't figured, I love everything black.
I got the clothes as a birthday present from my best friend Brie for my 20th birthday a few weeks back.
I'm still mad at her for not showing up at the party, but I kind of understood her situation, a sweet/ fierce girl from a dysfunctional family....one of those problems in broken homes when a child has to stay with one of the parents on different occasions, so my dear Brie had to stay with her dad for the summer at Florida, Did I mention I stay at LA (Los Angeles) California.
But I can't help but forgive her since she's my best friend and she couldn't show up due to circumstances.
I hopped in my Mercedes-Benz and drove off to work. I work at a small mechanic workshop downtown as an assistant.
I fist bump my boss Kelly, more like a friend turned Big brother, I've known him since my college days, he took me in since I ran away from home, from my dad, and his business world.
He sheltered me and employed me to work for him at the workshop since he discovered I love repairing and building cars, he accommodated me till I got my shit together and got my place that feels more comfortable and homey.
I Escaped from my dad, his dreams of studying business administration in college which was not what I wanted.
Since I was a little girl I've always wanted to repair damaged and build cars on my own, but my father's dream was to have a son who would be the heir to his company, unfortunately for him, my mother conceived a girl who is car lover, that's me Keira (chuckles).
I've always done what he wanted due to my mom's pleading and persuasion, including studying business in college. After I graduated, he wanted me at the company.
On my first day at the company, I got different looks from the employees, some were the look of distaste, jealousy, admiration, and competitive looks, at that moment I realized that I never wanted that life.
My Father assigned his Assistant to train me on how to run the company, during launch break, everyone left the office to have lunch except me of course, because I didn't have the appetite for any food, so I tried getting some work done until a masked stranger barged in my office and held a pistol to my head.
The stranger told me that if I accept the position of the CEO I'll die a painful death and the rightful owner of the position will come after me.
After he left I ran home and picked up a few things and left, since that very day I disappeared into thin air, nobody knows my whereabouts except Brie of course I trust her not to disclose any information about me.
Honestly, I've never wanted to be a business Miguel like my father, he is a monster and can be very brutal when it comes to business, you don't want to mess with him, that life is not what I want, a life that I'll have to look over my shoulder every minute, for the rest of my life.
According to my father" A man has to be callous and greedy when doing business, any kind of relationship i.e Friends, family or relatives are not entertained when doing business" That created a lot of enemies for him. I choose the easy way by leaving that life behind.
Sometimes I think about my mother, how she's doing, is she happy? does she think about me? Four years now, she might have given up on looking for me.
Keeping myself Anonymous for years was the best thing to do, changed my look, my hair color to purple, and got tongue piercing, nose piercing, other piercings, and tattoos on my arm, I also wear blue contacts to hide my blazing ruby eyes
Lastly, I changed my name from Alex Auburn O'Connor to KEIRA AUBURN WIRTFORD.
When I moved in with Kelly 4 years ago his grandmother started calling me KEIRA, she mentioned that she saw her late daughter Keira in me, so I decided to embrace the name, she welcomed me, loved and adored me ever since.
