Chapter 10

1877 Words
It was the day that her wedding should have been. This entire week she had spent in cancelling all the arrangements. The wedding flowers, the caterers, the venue and all that was needed. Everyone offered their condolences when they heard that marriage was not happening. One guy even told that it was at the least a lot better than getting stood up at the altar, because if that happened you would not get your deposits back and you would have to pay the entire amount. Kiara, despite all the feelings that these conversations were bringing up in her she decided to put on a brave face but she could not do that with the cake. She could say the girl that the order for the cake was cancelled. So she said that she would pay for the wedding cake and the cup-cakes. But they were to be delivered at her home, if that would be possible. Turned out that it was possible. Kiara called Pearl and said,” There is something that I have done accidentally and I need you to come here. Could you spare me the afternoon?” “Honey, I know today is your wedding…I mean, it was supposed to be your wedding so I thought that it would be better if I had spent the entire day with you. Anyways I had to take the entire day holiday for your sake only. And I did not cancel my leave. I am almost at your apartment, I shall be there soon,” replied Pearl as she drove to the direction of Kiara’s house. “And what is your plan for the day?” Kiara asked her friend and despite the funk that she had been in she could not help but smile. “I only want to make sure that you are not alone and you have not forgotten how to have fun. Girl!! Think about it…you were going to get almost loaded with a man who would have been the cause of your untimely death and then I would have to kill him. But now you are absolutely free and there is no reason that we cannot enjoy this perfectly beautiful day. Hold on….you choose a dress to party and I am coming to get you soon…” said Pearl as she hung up. There are some people who are made up for the sake of being the force of nature. They are full of life and vigour and they could do things which other people were skittish about, Pearl was one of them. Kiara thought how foolish she had been to not listen to her when she had told her that about Dave she did not get the right feeling. The doorbell to her apartment rang and Kiara thought that it was Pearl but it was not. When she opened the door she found that the man who was behind all this turmoil was standing there in her doorway. Her father. “It is not my wedding anymore, Father. You don’t have to be here. You can take a tour of the city and then leave like you always wanted to,” said Kiara as she proceeded to close the door on his face. “Kiara, honey, wait…look I am only here to talk. You can just hear me out,” said her father, Edward and Kiara looked at him with such scorn that he almost withered. “Ten minutes,” she said as she opened the door wide and allowing him to come in. He looked at her apartment and said,” You have a nice place for yourself here.” “What do you want Dad? If it is money then I am not giving you any more to get over your f*****g gambling debt. And trust me, at this point I don’t even care if you lose a toe or a finger or another body part. There was only one connection between us, that was Mom and I should have given you up, when you married that b***h and brought her daughter home to ruin my life,” said Kiara in a cold voice. There was truly no love left inside her for her living family. “Why do you think that I am the one who is your enemy? What have I ever done to you that you look down upon me in such way? You are my only daughter…” said Edward as he came closer and Kiara moved a step back. “This is not the time to come and tell me that you have suddenly grown your consciousness and ready to take on your responsibility as my father. When you were actually needed in my life you were actually showing the b***h off to your friends who kept on f*****g her when you were not there behind your back. And what did you think? What exactly did you think dad would happen to me?” Kiara scoffed at him. “I thought that you would get a sister, who would be a good company. You both are practically the same age. You lost your Mom and I felt that you would both be good together and in time I had hoped that in time may be Catherine could actually be your mother,” said Edward and then looked at Kiara. The grimace on her face had not changed at all. “If you had this much to say that you are a vile and pathetic man just like the second woman you married then you have successfully proved your point Dad. You can get out of my house. Your sweet little wife who f****d half of the men in the town and wrecked marriages while you were busy selling washing machines and vacuum cleaners all around the state in order to gift her diamonds has wrecked my life in a planned manner. What else do you need to prove?” Kiara was now full on yelling at him. The anger which had subsided to a slight extent over the past week was now back in full vigour. “What the hell are you saying, Kiara? You are talking to your father…have some shame at the least….” Edward shouted back appalled at what his daughter was telling him but he knew that it was true. There was not ounce of lie in what she was speaking. “Shame? You are thee one to talk about shame aren’t you now? You gave money for that b***h to study in college while I had to get a scholarship and work my ass off as a waitress and do babysitting when I could have that money,” Kiara screamed at him. He flinched back a moment. “Your mother left you a lot, Kiara. I never thought that you were not going to use your inheritance and do it like other kids. Why didn’t you?” he asked and Kiara was stunned. “My mother left me an inheritance because that is my legacy. Not because you deserved it for spending it away on baubles and stones for your whores, you bastard. You are a man I hate to call my father. And as of now, after today I don’t ever want to see your freaking face again. If I do, I am getting a restraining order against you,” said Kiara and looked at him calmly. Just at the moment Pearl entered with a loud whoop and then became absolutely still looking at Edward. Then next minute she spat,” Whaat is this asshole doing here, Kiara?” “Trying to get more money and my mother’s inheritance,” said Kiara as her father looked guilty. “Baby I am in a really tight spot…you have to help me…look you are good and now you are not getting married…you have savings I know that…” said Edward as he tried to come forward and Kiara slapped him tightly on his face. She did not even flinch at the pain it caused. “All my life you have only made me feel I was not good enough. And you made sure that my mother died so that you could get her money, but you did not see that coming, did you? Well guess what, You are not getting that either. In case I die without any heir you are never going to be able to lay one dirty finger on that money,” said Kiara as Edward shot her with daggers. “You are turning your back on your own family….you are going to regret it,” said Edward with his cheeks red of the slap that she had landed on his face. “I already regret everything, Dad. Now leave,” said Kiara as Pearl came forward and before Kiara could stop she punched him right in the nose and it cracked with a sickening crunch and he fell on his knees with a loud groan. Pearl rubbed her knuckles and said,” Kiara, give him a few tissues and kick his ass to the curb. Freaking bastard.” “You are all f*****g crazy chicks…it is a good thing that Dave left you,” said Edward as he wiped off the blood with the back of his coat sleeve and this time Kiara did a double take. “He did what now?” asked Pearl as her eyes widened as well at the comment. “Yes…it is good that he left you for Caroline. She will make a good wife and a better mother than you. You are nothing but a selfish hag like your mother,” said Edward and this time his face was contorted with rage. Kiara kicked him straight in his balls making him double and bend in pain.. then she caught hold of him by his hair and kicked him out of the door and said,” Next time I find you loitering around me you are going to jail bastard. You bloody asshole…motherfucking sweet cunt licking bastard!” Kiara slammed the door behind him with a loud noise. Pearl’s eyes were wide at the show of violence that her best friend had just shown but then she whopped and jumped to hug her,” My baby girl…you are the best…you are the best…where were hiding all this time? Where was all this fire locked up inside of you?” “I need a drink…a stiff one just now…do you want one?” asked Kiara as she walked towards her mini bar and pulled out a bottle of cognac that she had reserved only for special occasions. “I suggest that we go out and do day drinking babe…you can create all the ruckus you want and I will stay sober for once. You deserve to let your hair down after what you have just faced so please put that bottle back and get dressed,” said Pearl and Kiara nodded. She was right but first they needed to do something else. “What is it that you exactly need?” asked Pearl as Kiara still stood there thinking. “I am thinking about how am I going to transport a huge batch of five hundred cup-cakes to the hospital and the orphanages and all the places that kids need cheering up. My father even if I don’t want to call him so, my father has never taken any pains about me and has tried to make me worse but I think that cakes would do kids good. When I have already paid for it, let someone enjoy them,” said Kiara and Pearl nodded. “The idea is a good one, provided you leave fifty of them back in your refrigerator,” said Pearl with a broad grin lighting up her face. “Already done, sweet-tooth, already done,” said Kiara as she started getting dressed.
