View MoreKiara's POVWhen I woke up this morning, the first thing I did was reach for my phone, and my thoughts were already on the day ahead. Without wasting a moment, I texted Lana, asking her when were and where we planning to meet, eager to finalize my plans.Within minutes, Lana replied, suggesting we meet at 3 p.m. in front of my apartment- well, my old apartment, to be exact. She said that she had some plans for the evening, so she wanted to see me earlier. Once we were together, she said, we could figure out where to go from there. It felt strange, knowing I'd be waiting in front of a place that used to be mine until Tom came into my life, but I pushed the thought aside and focused on our upcoming plans.I made my way to Tom's office, ready to update him on the schedule. As I reached his door I paused for a moment before knocking. After a few seconds, the door swung open, revealing Tom standing there, dressed casually yet still polished enough for a work setting. His eyes met mine, and
Kiara's POV After Tom's warning, I didn't feel particularly phased. I wasn't feeling up for an argument, so I opted to stay silent. I was aware that he was convinced I wouldn't heed his advice. It wasn't my intention to provoke his anger; I was acting based on my own frustration at the time.At the moment I was getting ready to settle in for the night, the sound of my phone ringing interrupted the quiet. When I glanced at the screen, I noticed that it was Lana calling. I finally answered the phone because we hadn't spoken in weeks and I felt like it was important to catch up."Hey, Lana. What's up?" I spoke. "Hi, Kiki!" Ever since we were children, she has affectionately referred to me by that nickname. It has always been her preferred way of addressing me. "I just wanted to check in with you to make sure everything is all right. It feels like it's been ages since I last heard from you.""Oh!" I was hesitant to share any details with her because I was afraid it would only lead to he
Tom's POV "I implore you, sir! She approached me and mentioned that you had granted her permission to depart." the bodyguard, who was on the verge of being fired, pleaded desperately. As I listened to him, I reflexively nodded and pasted on a smile, feeling increasingly irritated by the nonsensical things spewing from his mouth. "Fred, let me clear up some things for you since you can not use your brain. Kiara came to you and said that I gave her permission..."I released a small laugh, seemingly mocking him "Come on, buddy, you've worked for me for 10 years. Do you really think I wouldn't have told you if I had given her approval to leave the mansion?" I asked. Fred gazed down at my feet, his silence speaking volumes. It was clear that he understood I was speaking the truth. This man had been a loyal and dedicated member of my team for years, one of my most trusted employees. However, circumstances had shifted, and my trust was gone. "It was great to have you on my securit
Kiara's POVAfter taking a much-needed break of an hour and a half, I began the arduous task of cleaning my room. It had been neglected for two weeks, and the state of my room reflected that – clothes strewn across the floor, makeup cluttering my desk, and books and my laptop haphazardly placed on my messy bed. I first started by meticulously folding the clothes and placing them back into the dresser, attempting to bring a semblance of order to the chaotic space. As I moved to the dressing room, the disarray was even more pronounced. I embarked on the mission of organizing the jumble of items, carefully arranging my clothes in the drawers and retrieving the miscellaneous items from the island and the floor. After triumphing in the dressing room, I focused on restoring order to my perfume and glasses collection, each item finding its rightful place. Moving on, I tackled the bed, removing the sheets and setting them aside by the exit door as a visual cue to address later. I replaced the
Tom’s POV I parked my Audi in front of her apartment - I knew everything about her, it was obvious where she was since there was nowhere she could have gone. I walked in and went up the stairs. I was furious, she did it again! Even after I warned her and told her not to repeat her mistake she fucking did. This girl was seriously getting on my nerves, I wasn't sure how long I was going to be that patient with her. She was the only person that was not doing what I said which was the thing that was mostly making me angry. She was my prey, she had to listen to what I said.When I walked to the door of her apartment, I didn't even think of knocking, I broke in with all of my strengths which caused the door to break. I saw Kiara standing in front of me with a bag on her shoulder, looking at me. She was scared, as she should. I went to her and grabbed her arm, I pushed her into the wall. "What the fuck did you think you are doing?" I yelled "What have I told you about this? Wasn't I clear
Kiara’s POV As the days passed, I found myself trapped inside this house for a month. I felt suffocated and restless, craving to leave this place. However, there was no way out, and I was stuck here. The situation had become unbearable, and I couldn't continue living without anything to do. Moreover, I had some important belongings from my apartment that I needed to retrieve.I grabbed my jacket and put the new phone that Tom had bought for me inside since I had broken my old one in front of him. I was very proud of what I did, I loved doing the opposite of what he told me to do. I reached for the key from my old apartment that I had hidden away. I put my hair in a low messy bun to not bother me. When I was finally ready I went downstairs. I didn't want anyone who was in this building to know where I lived, so I had to find a way to leave without drawing attention to myself. I had to make one of the bodyguards give me the keys to one of the cars. I went outside and saw a tall, muscu
Tom’s POV Kiara stared at her phone screen for a brief moment, and without warning, her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she struggled to maintain her composure. The sight or message on her phone had clearly struck a deep and emotional chord within her, leaving her visibly shaken and distressed.“Little bird, are you alright?" I asked her. She didn't respond. Kiara was completely engrossed in her phone, completely oblivious to her surroundings. It was as though nothing else existed in the world except for the device in her hand. As I looked into Kiara, her eyes met mine, she was still completely silent. Her gaze was fixed on me as if she was silently pleading for help or perhaps just a deeper understanding. It was an intense moment, and the silence between us was almost palpable. Despite the lack of words, I could sense that something was troubling her deeply, and I wanted to do anything I could to offer comfort or support. I looked at her "
Kiara’s POVI woke up early in the morning since I fell asleep very early last night compared to when I usually go to bed. It was still dark outside. I opened the big window in the middle of my room to feel the cold, fresh air entering my bedroom. I went into the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. Then I made my messy hair into something acceptable and put on some leggings with a sweater on top. I tried to dress up as comfortably as I could in the house since I couldn't do it outside anymore. I went downstairs to make myself a cup of coffee and something to eat but when I entered I saw Valentina, sleeping on the chair with a cup of scotch in her hand. I got scared and quickly walked to her. Then, I rubbed her shoulder to try to wake her up. "Hey, Val. Come on, let me help you walk to your bedroom." I quietly said to not scare her while she was still sleepy. She looked around with her red eyes "What happened?" she asked. "I don't know, but everything is okay." As I notic
Tom’s POV I went back into my office after I made sure that my doll was okay. I opened the laptop sitting on my wooden desk and unlocked the camera for Kiara's room. I looked at her angel face imagining what I could do to her. She was mine, there was nowhere she could hide, I owned her. I loved the idea of her being my toy and prey. I went downstairs to the kitchen. I saw Valentina sitting on the chair, crying. I went to the section with drinks and got one whiskey, then poured it into a cup, watching Valentina curiously.''Is everything alright?'' I asked grabbing an apple from the fruit bow in the middle of the table.She tried to wipe the smudged mascara from her face ''Yeah, I'm fine.'' ''May I ask what happened?'' I sat on the chair in front of her. She rolled her eyes ''Just a stupid argument with Vince.'' she wiped one tear, falling from her face ''He probably has told you that I have a problem.'' she continued. ''No, he hasn't told me anything.'' I said. ''Oh, well I can'
Kiara's POV “If you leave now, I promise not to tell anyone about this. Just please leave" I cried in front of him, begging him to leave. "I am tired, don't you see? I love you to death but still beg you to leave, so please do it, please!" He was staring at me, not saying a word. "Go away!" "Okay, fine, I'll go. But if you tell anyone I'll kill you, Kiara!" With those words, he disappeared. 2 years later I was sitting in a café, talking with Lana- my best friend, since I've known myself."So, it has been a while. Any boyfriends or new friends?" She asked me while taking hercoffee from the waiter's hands."No, not really. After Finn, I don't think I'm ready for a new relationship." I took a sip of my coffee."Are you ever gonna tell me what happened?" Lana looked at me, hoping I'd spill some words. I just shook my head. I didn't want anyone to know what happened between me and Finn. I've never spoken to anyone about it before and I don't think I'm ready, yet. Four men in black
