Chapter 7 - THE PAST 1 

If it were just anyone that spoke about it, then they would be dead already

He grabbed his cellphone and keys on the table and took long strides out of the room, leaving Oscar there.

SKYLAR ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY

Summer hadn't been herself even though she was busy reading the script given to her about an hour ago

She just had less than twenty four hours to clear her debts or else, her brother's life would be at stake

Very soon, she would be performing a stunt as rehearsals, not main shooting yet

She was all dressed up already in her costume

It was an action movie and so Mia being the female lead automatically made Summer the female lead also.

Summer was putting on a red coloured trousers and a black cloak, a sword was kept beside her

Her black chestnut hair were let down to fall around her shoulders, she looked adorable and at the same time, like an ancient warrior

The scene they were about to rehearse was a battle scene, Summer who would double for Mia who was playing as Shakira in the movie also named SHAKIRA, would swiftly jump down from a high roof and would roll slightly on the floor, then would stand on her feet swiftly and charge into the battlefield with her sword

The battle would be fierce but as always, being the main female lead, she would defeat them but not without sustaining bad injuries

More villains would come for her and she would have to run this time as she didn't have energy left to fight them

They would chase her through the woods, halfway of Shakira being caught and left in their mercy, Kai, who is playing as Dimitri, the prince of Bonelands, would come to her rescue

Using his dark powers, he would defeat her chasers

Dimitri mainly did this because, they actually invaded his territory, not because they were about to attack an unknown girl

But with pity, Dimitri would carry the unconscious Shakira out with him

"Hey, are you having any difficulty with the script?

A voice brought Summer out of her concentration

"Oh Diva, no no, it's understandable actually but I'm just a little nervous to act it out"

Summer confessed

Mia smiled and sat down beside her, 

"Actually I ain't good at pulling stunts, I'm scared of heights and some risky situations, but Marvel really wanted me to be in his movie and even permitted me to find a stunt double if I have to"

Summer listened with disbelief in her heart

Being popular has a very big advantage

Even though Mia has a weakness and isn't really suitable for the movie genre, yet the director still insists she joins the movie and even make her the female lead at that

"You don't have to worry Diva, I got you covered, I'm really a fan and I love your movies, it's only understandable that you are scared of heights, everyone has what they are afraid of, everyone has a weakness"

Summer spoke, making Mia smile 

"Thanks Summer"

"Alright Alright, it's time, Summer come over here, Dorian! get the cameras ready, hey! set them up her, Lucas, make sure the harness is well steady, we don't want any casualty!

Director Marvel kept shouting and giving out orders for the shooting...

Summer took in a deep breath

"Miss Hales, though this is just a rehearsal first, but you should put every ounce of seriousness here, your performance now still determines your performance in the real shoot, alright?

Marvel lectured her while Summer nodded

"Roger that"

She replied

"I ain't late this time around, I guess?

Kai casually strode in, the girls were already fawning over his handsomeness and cute look

"Finally, thought the male lead would be having a picnic somewhere in the garden and the sea in sight"

Mia commented sarcastically

Kai ruffled her hair, dis heveling it in the process and Mia heavily slapped his hands away before he would ruin her makeup any further with a glare

"In as much as I would love to argue with you at the moment, where on earth is the pretty double?

"Oh there she is!

Kai exclaimed as he moved to Summer's side to check her out.

"Wow, Mia, you have finally done something reasonable in your life, she's such a beauty, where did you get her from!

Kai shouted that made Summer embarrassed because everyone was looking at them now

Mia rolled her eyes and Director Marvel face palmed

Even Dorian, the camera man, closed his eyes while shaking his head

"I'm Kai by the way, the face of LA movies, I'm good in romantic movies"

Kai introduced himself cheekily

Summer withheld her laughter, she was shocked seeing the legendary Kai in front of her and being all friendly

She knew kai as the jovial type, his displays during live interviews tells it all and that was why literally every young girl and even most ladies, had a crush on him but seeing him display all these right in front of her still made her overwhelmed

"Umm Hi Kai, I'm Summer Hales, Diva's double"

Summer introduced with a polite smile

"So she's the double?

Hennessy asked her manager beside her

They were sitting a little bit far from them

Her manager nodded

"Yes, she is"

Hennessy narrowed her eyes

She didn't like the way the girl just came as a newbie and was already getting attention from Kai.

"Hmmmm..... I'll just observe"

Hennessy mumbled 

******

Everyone became impressed by Summer's acting skills

"You sure this is your first time in front of a camera?

Marvel asked, indeed he was marveled by her performance

She didn't need much guidance at all, infact it was as if she was really born for the role

"Thanks Director"

Summer thanked with smiles and walked towards Mia and Kai

"If you don't mind Diva, I nee to leave now"

Mia was surprised

"You wanna leave now? why not stay some more?

Summer would really love to, but she had to go find a way to pay her bills

"I'm sorry but I have some matters I need to attend to but if I'm not done for the day, then I can still stay".

"No, your part is done for today, alright Summer, you can go then, besides you were amazing on screen"

Mia complemented

"Thanks Diva"

Summer left

"She's pretty, just my type"

Kia's voice sounded beside Mia

"Come off it Kai, literally every girl is your type"

Mia snorted

.......

Oh the past it haunted me

oh the past it wanted me dead

oh the past tormented me

But the battle was lost

Cause I'm still here

As Summer walked down the street, the lyrics from the song, flooded into her ears from a nearby coffee shop

She suddenly felt emotional and without realizing it, her feet took her to the coffee shop and she got in

"Sorry but can I know the name of this song?

She asked a lady by the counter

The lady seemed taken off guard in a moment but recovered

"Oh, the song is ' I'm Still Here' by Sia"

"Thanks"

As she crossed the street, a stretched Lincoln was parked not too far away and a pair of dark obsidian eyes followed her like a hawk till she disappeared into a corner

Even so, those eyes kept staring at the direction she went into

"Boss should I get you something around here?

The driver asked but received no reply, which made him helpless

His boss had asked him to make a stop suddenly only for them to stay there for few minutes

After sometime, the man at the back of the car withdrew his eyes from the road and finally said

"Drive"

The driver started the car and drove off, wondering what could be wrong with his boss

......

Summer couldn't believe she was doing this but actually went to buy a dress

A sexy dress to be precise, and whether she liked it or not, she had made up her mind to sell her body

If that would give her the easy money, then she would.

She didn't care anymore, after all she had been preserving her dignity for someone very special to her but that person left her and disappeared from her world all of a sudden as if he didn't exist and she had lost that dignity to a stranger she barely even know.

So what was there to preserve again?

No, she had made the decision

Very quickly, after buying the dress, she browsed through her phone for the most expensive club house in LA City and immediately, her research was ready

...

LURE NIGHTCLUB>>>

Summer highlighted from the cab and her eyes fell upon the building which beared the name, LURE.

The outside environment was eerily unruffled that got her petrified

Wasn't clubs supposed to be nosy and rowdy?

So why was everywhere so serene?

Summer thought within her but unknown to her, Lure Nightclub, isn't just any club at all

It was a club majorly meant for list A celebrities and rich people and so was designed in a way different from regular clubs

Bracing herself, she walked forward nearing the door

It was then she gapsed seeing two bulky men in grey and black suites respectively with shades on 

How come she never noticed them from afar?

Summer stilled herself from freaking out, if she acted so weird, they would really throw her out from there, thinking she was just a trespasser

Mustering all the sexiness she could, Summer looked at their faces directly

"I want to go in, I have an appointment"

Her voice was unusually sweet that even made her cringe

Eww...

The men fixed their gazes on her that made her uncomfortable

Why are they looking at her that way?

Did they catch her lie?

God, they better not!

Her heart was just hanging on a thin thread 

Just when she thought it was over

"Go in"

One of them uttered and the door clicked open

Her eyes widened in surprise and she smiled at them

"Thanks"

She said and casually strode in as if her heart isn't beating so hard in her chest

The loud music and the booming got her eyes widened

Just outside, a single sound wasn't heard but right inside, she couldn't even stand the loud music

Ladies dressed sexily and too revealing that she was even seeing her own dress to be a very covered clothing

A lady in just a lingerie, walked past her with sultry steps 

Gosh

Everywhere was hot and Summer thought of going back but when she recalls her Jay's predicament, she turned against the idea

Summer knew she was a beauty but she didn't know the effect she really had as she walked inside fully, searching for a wealthy fish 

"Hey pretty"

A man walked up to her and she immediately sized him up 

He looked like he has money but not totally what Summer was looking for

"Hey handsome"

She replied back 

"What's a beautiful girl like you doing here alone?

Summer nearly rolled her eyes at the outdated hookup line

She shrugged

"I dunno, maybe you should ask Ouija Board"

The man laughed at her sarcastic joke

"Sorry I need to find someone"

Summer lied to escape from the man who was looking at her as if she was some hot dessert about to be eaten

"Oh fuck, you're already someone's dinner"

He cursed 

"Yup and breakfast too"

She winked and walked into the crowd where there was dancing, jumping and cheering and of course groping.

She walked straight to the bartender

"My treat, order anything"

A man spoke up beside her

She inspected him and was sure she haven't met him anywhere

Guys were such loose species

Well....who was she to say no?

Turning to the bartender

"I'll have Vodka and Gin, belvedere magnum to be precise"

Summer said and the bartender immediately mixed it for her, handing it over to her and moved on to attend to other people

"Thanks"

Summer thanked the man

"Sure, so can I have a night?

The man suddenly asked that made her choke as it was so unexpected

"Sorry did I scare you?

He asked as he patted her back, which made Summer uncomfortable

She slightly pushed his hands away

"Ah? No no, you didn't"

She said with nervousness

Summer didn't know why but, ever since she got into the club, she had been feeling a chilly gaze on her, as if someone was intently watching her

She immediately looked up to where the feeling was coming from but couldn't make out anybody over there, as it looked dark up, coupled with the mixture of red, green and yellow lights scattered around

The man saw her staring upwards

"Are you perhaps expecting someone from there? If you are the you're really a queen, those up there are only VVIP members"

Summer took in his explanation and looked down but couldn't shake off the feeling that someone is watching her.....
