Chapter 66

“Corinna”

If you had asked me two years ago if this is where I imagined my life would be, I would have said no. I had mapped out everything perfectly. I would get married to Damon and have a nice house with a big yard so that the children could play.

I know. Many people were shocked when I told them that my greatest dream was to be a mother.

Back then when I was deep within the mess that was the Steyn brothers I had clung more to what Ashton wanted. He had convinced me that I was meant to keep my small slender body if I was to keep my appeal. And all I wanted to do was to appease the man I had thought I was in love with.

All the while he had slowly been brainwashing me and causing me to forget about the dream I had as a little girl. I wanted a nuclear family life. I wanted the husband and the babies and to just be domesticated.

My mother had pushed for me to be a star. Sure I enjoyed it and the checks were nice when they rolled in. But I hated the fact that I always had to be this ‘perfect’ version of myself. I always needed my hair done, my nails done, and I had to make sure I only ever had the new seasons collections.

It was exhausting and not to mention the restrictive diet I had been put on.

I was miserable. And that anger had turned into this deep seeded hatred that I took out on my sister.

She never seemed to hate life. She was always laughing and smiling with her friends and our grandmother adored her. She was like a diamond, great on her own. And I was merely a trophy..

The perfect accessory to my politician husband and the perfect daughter to my father.

But now I was breaking away from all those chains and starting over. I deserved to start again in cleaner and fresher air.

Had running to LA been impulsive? Yes. But had it been necessary? Yes. I needed freedom.

And now I sat here in my car waiting outside the café where I was set to meet my new agent-well potential agent. I was yet to confirm if he wanted me on as a new artist or not.

Me: I came like twenty minutes early and now I’m shitting bricks in my car.

Adelaide: Don’t. You’re going to be fantastic.
