Once reaching back to her mansion, Kiara went straight to her elder sister’s room to look for her. All her life she rarely ever talked to her sister normally. Except for business or taunting, they never called for each other. When Kiara was young, she admired Ria wholeheartedly. But sooner she realized her big sister doesn’t have that kind of mutual feeling that Kiara carries. Ria’s hatred towards Kiara was quite visible to everyone. And with time, Kiara was no kid either. She realized and saw her sister’s true face too. At first she accepted her sister's reasons to hate her. But seeing and after being a victim of all her bullies, Kiara stopped sympathizing with Ria. She gives up on their sisterhood, chooses to stay as a stranger instead. “Miss you need something?” Butler confusedly questioned Kiara. He never saw her visiting east side of the mansion. She always kept her distance away from Ria’s room. And after being a witness of the slap that Kiara gave to Ria, Butler was too wor
Kiara muted her ‘conference meeting’ from her side, before looking up at her sister. “You still dare to barge in my office without any prior notice. Looks like my last warning wasn’t effective on you sister.” “You! How dare you!!” Rolling her eyes at Ria’s behavior, Kiara looked at her impatiently. Ria’s eyes were all red. Her fists were clenched hard to the point that her nails were almost digging her own flesh. Kiara knew what was coming for her. With a sigh she ended the meeting and closed her laptop. Getting up from her chair, she walked around her desk, and stood right in front of it. Calmly taking one breath, she smoothly asked. “How dare I, to do what?” “You took away all of my projects just to give them away to those bitches! Kiara have you forgotten who I am and what you are?” This morning her assistant called her to inform her about today’s schedule. To her surprise, her schedule was almost a blank sheet. She got no work at all. Stunned by that, she called her agent.
Kiara was still contemplating all the setbacks they might face, when from nowhere a vase was directly thrown towards her face. Kiara’s eyes widened by the turns of events. And before she knew, that vase was already right in front of her. "SMASHED!!!" "Madam are you alright?" Leo worriedly asked. Kiara instinctively turned sideways. Perceiving what might have happened she realized that was still standing, only her position had changed. Leo protected her by shielding her with his body. When Kiara looked around, she saw all his other guards were holding Ria's wrist to stop her movements. She realized that before that vase could hit her, Leo pulled her arm and got her away from it. "Madam are you okay?" Leo asked again. Coming out of her stupor, Kiara instantly moved her body to check on herself. Feeling the pain on her arm which was held by Leo earlier, Kiara almost hissed in pain. "Yeah I am good. Thank you." Kiara didn't want to tell Leo that his hold on her almost crushed her
Kiara was angered to death. She was nowhere forgetting or forgiving Ria for all of her deeds. All this time she tried her best on controlling her burst. Even after the worst Ria could do to Kiara, Kiara still let it go. Somewhere she felt humiliated doing so. The thought of forgetting all Ria's wrongdoing mortifies her. However she still ends up doing so. But today she lost all her patience. How could she allow anyone to hurt her? That won't be just disgracing to her but also to her well wishers. She wanted to teach Ria a lesson right away, but physical punishment is nothing to her recognition. She knows exactly what she needs to do but somewhere she was reluctant to do it. With an inhale she ordered And for Max, Kiara never actually cared what he thinks or might think about her. Ria would lie till the end, and Max would only be suspicious till the end. Even if Kiara brings witnesses in front of Max, Ria would still lie and Max would still doubt. Such a conclusion wouldn't chan
“Amm... nothing?” Kiara slowly said. “Then why did you call?” Noah asked, showing no emotion in his tone. “...can’t I call you for no reason?” Kiara smoothly asked back. “...” This time Noah was quiet. It wasn’t because he had no answer to it, instead he was quiet because he did have an answer, but that is too curt to say it to his girl. Kiara could guess the reason for his silence too. Rolling her eyes, she ignored that topic and moved on. “What are you doing tonight?” “Nothing special.” “Any meetings?” “Hmm.” Hearing that, knowing his plan made her feel hesitant to ask him out. Licking her lower lips Kiara paused. Noah sensed her hesitation. Seeing her speaking nothing for straight a few seconds, he asked first. "Wanna go out for dinner tonight?” Kiara surprisingly looked sideways to her cellphone. 'MIND READER!' "Kiara?" "Hmm. But don't you have meetings?" "I'll pick you up within an hour." "..." Getting no answer, Noah asked again. "Okay?" "Half an hour?" Kiara did
“So now will you tell me what happened to your neck?” Noah coldly looked at her. “Huh?” Kiara instinctively touched her neck sides. Feeling something sticked to her neck, she tried to get rid of it, when Noah spoke. “That’s a bandage. Don’t pull it off.” Noah informed. Kiara confusedly looked at him, while her hands were still touching the bandage on her neck. “Bandage? What for?” “I should be asking that question, Kiara. Where did you get hurt? What actually happened today?” He sternly asked. “...” Kiara got silent. Realizing where she must have got hurt, her eyes almost widened. Earlier when Ria threw that vase on her face, Leo did save her. However when the vase was smashed to the desk, it threw a few of its remnants to her side too. But in front of the whole vase, no one actually bothered to check those few small scratches on her or on Leo. Grasping all her answers, Kiara gulped hard. ‘She is caught, What she feared the most is happened’. “Kiara?” Noah called her again.
Noah helplessly looked at her. Rolling his tongue, he asked. “Anything else that I need to know?” With a pause Kiara shook her head in denial. “No. That’s all for now.” “Okay. Let’s eat, then we can go back home.” “Hmm.” Kiara agreed and had her another bite. But soon she realized something. “Wait a minute. What home? Which home?” “Our place. Or what?” Noah nonchalantly said. “Who said that I am going with you?” Kiara asked back. “I said. And end of discussion.” Noah authoritatively said and had bites from his plate. Kiara was flabbergasted. Looking at him she was speechless. ‘Again!’. Her conscious mind shouted. She paused eating and kept staring at his side face. Kiara’s statue posture troubled Noah too. Patting the back of her hand, he beckoned her to eat.. “Have your dinner Kiara.” “No, I am not Noah! I am not always gonna do what you ask me to do.” “Kiara. I am not gonna-” “No Noah. Not this time. I am going back to my place tonight. And that’s final.” Noah’s hand mov
Kiara was simply sitting there when she got a call from Leo. Looking at the screen, she disconnected the call. She was in no mood to talk to anyone. When she called Noah earlier, she was distressed and wanted to be relieved from all tension, but here she is, all anguished by his words.After ten minutes, Leo couldn’t help but walk inside the restaurant to ensure Kiara’s safety. Coming to her side, he woke her up from her stupor. “Madam?”“...”“Are we ready to go back?”“Bring me the bill.” Kiara ordered.Seeing a waitress coming to their side, Leo beckoned her back to her post. “Madam, this restaurant belongs to our Master.”“So?” Kiara looked up with a raised brow. “Just get me the bill.”“Yes Madam.” Leo immediately went out for the bill.After paying for the food, Kiara walked outside the restaurant while Leo followed her closely. “Madam car is over there.”Kiara didn't react to his words. She stopped and stared at the distance with no motive to it. She had a number of thoughts run
