Galaxia's POV
"Help me, somebody please help me, please".
I jolted awake from my constant nightmare, I was not surprised, I mean these nightmares had been going on for 10yrs now but every time it always found a way to strike fear in my heart. I went for several therapy sessions and for a while I stopped having nightmares but then they just came back and I had been coping ever since, each one more frightening than the last. No amount of therapy was able to take them away.
I turned to check my alarm which read 02:53 a.m. I cleaned the beads of sweat that had formed on my forehead and rubbed my temples to get rid of the headache starting to form.
I got up from my gigantic queen sized bed and walked over to my desk drawer to take my pills. Apparently, I was too tired last night, slept off and forgot to take my sleeping pills. I took my pills and head to my mini-fridge to get a bottle of water. I laid back down on my bed to try and get some sleep but all I did was to toss and turn trying to find a comfortable spot.
Beep Beep Beep
My alarm went off at exactly 5:00a.m.
"Wow, Laxia, still couldn't get some sleep" I groaned and said to myself.
I got up from my gigantic queen sized bed, head to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and tied my hip length black hair into a messy bun. After, I went into my closet, picked out my work out clothes and head to my own private gym built in my mansion.
I live alone in my own mansion in the secluded part of London, United Kingdom. You might be thinking that I'm a billionaire, I should have hundreds of servants roaming my house and falling at my feet but no, I do not trust anyone, not even enough to hire chefs to come cook for me. Of course I had housekeepers that help to come clean my house every Saturday as I spent most of my time at work and don't use any other place other than my room, den, kitchen and gym. Even my housekeepers were restricted from entering certain places in my house such as my kitchen, den, gym room and most especially my room. I hated being around too much people so I have my own in-built gym so I don't have to exercise with sweaty, stinky people.
I did my daily exercises which consists of planks, bird dogs, bicycle crunches, leg raises and other exercises.
After one hour of my daily exercise, I went to my mini-fridge, grabbed a bottle of water and went to my room. It was 6:27 a.m when I got back to my room to take a shower and make breakfast before heading to work.
After showering, I dressed up in my typical and comfortable office wear, a white turtle neck gown with a white jacket over it. I put on my shoes and tied my hair into a bun because I never let my hair down in front of people. I checked myself out in the mirror to find my fake blue orbs staring back at me. I stared at my eyes and the memory of what happened 10 yrs ago came rushing back into my memory.
Flashback
"Please, please, everyone, please stop", I cried out. "Danny, danny, please help me, please".
"Haha haha, help you? so you expect me to help out a monster as yourself?" Danny replied.
"Monster?Danny, what are you saying?" I said.
"I'm saying the truth, you are a monster, a monster!!, everyone do not let her escape!!!kill her!!!"Danny shouted...
End of flashback
I remember all the pain, the betrayal, the throes, everything I went through and I had made up my mind that I, Galaxia Chrystal Arthur would never allow anyone trample on me ever again and I would never trust ever again.
I grabbed my phone from the bed and marched down the stairs.
After making breakfast, I texted Greg, my driver to be here in 10minutes. While munching my typical breakfast of toast and a cup of milk and glucose drink, my phone dinged indicating a text message. I opened it to find a message from my mom saying,
"Good morning, honey, how was your night? Did you sleep well? Have you had breakfast? Have you showered? Are you dressed for work?".
I rolled my eyes at my mom's endless questions, then continued reading.
"I know you just rolled your eyes at me, Laxy".
Oh mom, she knows me so well.
"Well, sweetie, I'm just texting you to inform you about our monthly family dinner, you know the one you missed last month because you had a so called 'Fashion Show'".
I couldn't attend last month's family dinner because I was busy with work and my mom hadn't hesitated to rub it in my face ever since.
"I just want to say there's no way you're missing this month's, no way. So clear your schedule for Friday and get your beautiful behind that you got from your mama #me, over here by 6p.m pronto, no excuse whatsoever,
Love you sweetie,
Your mama."
Drama much? I know. She's the drama queen of the family. So I replied her text.
"Ok mama, I'll be there and P.S. I got my beautiful behind from pops #not you.
Love ya,
Your flawless daughter".
My mom, dad, brothers, friends and I are very close. They had always been there for me through thick and thin and I love them so much. They're the only ones I can't bear being cold to and I can actually trust. True, they don't know that my nightmares are still here and I refused to tell them but every other thing about me they were aware of and I'm grateful to have them.
While thinking of how grateful I am, Greg replied saying he was outside ready with the car. Well, that's enough happiness for one day, it was time to get down to business. I cleared the dishes, wore my dark shades, and grabbed my phone. Putting on my emotionless face, I stepped out of the house.
I spot Greg standing by my car, a white Cadillac XT5 and as soon as he saw me, he opened the backseat door, bowed slightly and muttered a
"Good morning, miss Galaxia". I replied him with a curt nod and got in. He quickly shut the door, entered the driver's seat and drove towards my work, my very own accomplishment, Galaxia.A's. Fashion Agency.
