BEHIND THE MASK

chapter 1

I woke up very early on a Sunday morning around 3:30 my emotions which i have learnt to masked was getting in to me and my thought was becoming heavy swimming around in my head....my head was really pounding this time to show that indeed my emotions and everything I have been trying to hide from people was beginning to weigh me down, I stood up from my bed and the bed wood made a sound of crack to show that it was also tired too because of the tossing I have been doing ever since I woke up ... Now I looked at the clock on my standing table and the clock shows that the time was already 5:15, I made a sigh of frustration which also indicate my tiredness , I went closer to my room window and decide to open it because i felt like i need a little more than the A.c that was working perfectly in my room i turned the A.C off and also went to the standing mirror in my dressing room, i took a good looked at my self and shook my head, the pain in my head intensified the more to show their was a big headache on it way so I quickly check my wardrobe for any drug available to block the pain with my left hand on my head and my right hand doing all the working I.e checking for what I was looking for, it took about a minute before I found any pain relieved drug I quickly peel too tablet from the sachet and dump it inside my mouth with the help of water on my table..... After about two minute my head was calm and i decide to use that moment to really look at my self on the mirror... I made a sigh again, my name is Paige Daniel I am 22 years old had a black long hair and a blue piercing eye which I gt from my mum..About 4.3 fit and a curvy body which I really appreciate that I also gt from mum, light in complexion and my sharp standing nose which I gt from dad and a little freckles on my chick and a dimple too........ Done checking my self out I heard a sound of cry which I noticed immediately was coming from me, I quickly wiped my tears my inner mind scolding me that I should suck it up and keep trying...that I shouldn't let my memory which I had been trying to masked get to me... I quickly part my self and rush to the bathroom to do my business and by the time I came back from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body and another small towel wrapped on my hair the time was 6:04, I went to my wardrobe and select the clothes that I need to wear to the office that I applied a job from.. I was called on a Friday evening by one Mrs Cynthia Richard to tell me that i have been accepted for the job and that I should be at the office as early as 8am in other to show me around the office and also meet some people in the office alongside with the department and area I will be accorded to..... I shook my head again which I noticed that I have been doing lately and my constant biting of lips, I quickly creamed my body applied a legal pro concealer to the eye bag forming underneath my eye and also a Lil foundation with a powder to set my face glowing... I have to learnt to do all these to hide the mask and my ugly emotion from people, i hate it when people are trying to gt at this side because it was something which i never really learnt from my parent, i noticed that a lil tear was forming on my eyeball again so i took a tissue to dap it off from my eye and added a Lil Kylie lipstick to my lips which immediately brought my plump lips out, I immediately packed my hair up in a messy burn and dash to the kitchen downstairs to make my food which was just pancake with a black coffee..... Coffee always made me better and also set my day off... After everything I looked at my wristwatch and found out that the time was already 7:39, I dashed upstairs to take my bag and the necessary files alongside with my phone and my car key... I looked at the car key in my hand and remembered how it was given to me as a birthday gift from my mum and dad and how happy i was and also how i rush up to my brothers room to share the wonderful news with him, I remembered how happy he was that day with me and how he took me out to shower me with love , I remembered how joyful and happy that I was that day and how I hugged him and my parent... I thought I had the perfect family, i thought nobody would be able to steal them from me, I thought I had it all buh I was proven wrong.....I was proven wrong by what and who I grew up to hate the most and who I was proven wrong by had made my life like a living hell, it has made me to be alone, it has made me who I am to day, it has made me uptight and most especially it has made me not to feel any love , I am like a merciless scorpion that sting anything to keep me going ........ A sound brought me back from my train of thought and I mentally slap my self for letting my guard down, I immediately felt that my face was soaked with tears I quickly dap it off and reapply foundation again to hide the real me..when I check my wristwatch for the time I realized that I was going to be late for my first time in the office if I don't get going... Immediately I went to the garage and press the key in my hand immediately the car made a sound I entered the car and use the key which brought the car to life, I drove to the big company who has offered me the job and I packed my car in d parking lots and I rush down to the big enterprising building I was greeted by the security and I was checked before I enter the main building for security reasons. I called the number that I received the acceptance of the job from and she told me to sit down at the lobby , I noticed that a woman with a beautiful smile and a flawless looking face and curvy body was heading towards me I immediately maintain my sitting posture..I immediately forced a smile on my face and she asked me a question with a comment.."hello beautiful you must be miss Paige Daniel right" and I immediately shook my head which indicate that am indeed Paige Daniels and she said I should follow her which I did I was introduced to people and also shown different places and also my office which I very much appreciated because of the too much space and also toilet.... I dropped my bag on my office table and follow her around then she took me upstairs where a name was bodely written On a bulletproof door, it read "BLAKE IVAHN" before we entered in to the office she felled me up with some little information about him being the C.E.O of the company and how much of a neat and workaholic Frick he is and how he always demand respect from the people in the office...a knocked was heard and I realized that it was the woman beside me that gave a knocked to the door that we were suppose to enter some few seconds letter a grunt was heard which signify that we can enter, when we enter, the office was what you refer to as beautiful...even the scent alone radiating from every were made me cower.......in respect for this man that I have not yet seen.
