KIARA POV“Kiara, Kiara run you have to survive Kiara!!!” a strange woman said as she pushed me away from the fire burning.The voice pierced through my dream, shattering my subconscious and then I woke up.Ahh! not this dream again, I thought it had stopped for good since I didn't get any after the wedding, why is it back again argh!! My head hurts because of it.I looked around, and I realised Xander wasn't on the bed with me and also my body hurts but not so much this time.And the dream for the first time was much clearer and I heard more than just my name this time, I wonder why though and who is that woman calling my name.“Hmm, Kiara, all this thinking won't help anything right now,” I said to myself.I got up from my bed and went to take my bath, dressed up and then made my way downstairs. There I saw Xander cooking. He must really like cooking, huh, and that he intends to do this every time? We have maids so he doesn't need to but oh well if he enjoys it who am I to say no.
KIARA POV Eric Darkwood Huh, for an elder, he is very short. “Nice to meet you, too, Elder Eric,” I stated. "Ohh, no need to put elder, my dear; you can just call me Eric; you are the wife to our leader, so we are of course under you, he said still with the cunning smile on his face. Xander came close to me and whispered into my ears, “Yeah, definitely do not trust this one; he only does what benefits him, and if that means putting you to the ground, he will.” Really, huh? I'm not surprised, but are the elders that brutal? “Now don't just stand there, little princess; let's head inside and remember, never look weak in front of the elders no matter what,Xander said as he then held my hands and we all walked inside. And there it was again—that feeling of deja vu. For some weird reason, I just feel like I have definitely been here before, but I'm pretty sure this is my first time entering the Darkwood main house. As we headed inside, we were greeted by a lot of unfamiliar faces;
KIARA POVWe left the room and then started walking.“You did a great job little princess,” Xander said.“ Really??”“ Yeah the elders are constantly trying to put people down and you my little princess didn't allow that, so don't think too much about it that how they always are, it doesn't mean much.”Well, I can't be too sure about that, they definitely want me gone, their eyes passed that message clearly.And Eric Darkwood,does he have a hand in the assassination attack? And how dare he boldly threaten me.I thought it was just Jack being stupid, but it seems like there are other higher figures behind this.I really need to be careful now because I don't know who else is after my life.Xander pulled me close to him, it seemed like he noticed I was in a deep thought.“Little princess, don't think too much about it, okay, I'm here, and I will protect you,” he said.“Hmm thank you.”Thank you, Xander, but there is no way I'm trusting anyone with my life, I need to find more about the
Xander POVHmm, Kiara, really seemed bothered after Eric spoke to her, I hope that old bastard didn't say anything stupid.And I know if I ask her, she would definitely not tell me.“Hmm Xander sir, can you hear me?” of the elders said.“I can hear you, you may continue,” I stated.He continued his speech about, honestly I don't even know, it's a really weird speech.Hmm, this meeting is honestly taking too much time. Can they just get to the main point already?“Okay that's it, enough speeches, Abe why exactly are we here today,” I said.“Well, leader, the deal we were supposed to secure with the sharmans..”“Yeah what happened?” I asked.“Well, we have lost it to the bears,” he responded.“Seriously the bears, how exactly did we lose such deal to the bears!!,” I voiced out in a stern voice.The whole room went silent, then Eric spoke.“Well, it seems like someone let out the news that we had problems with the sharmans and then the blades and bears have been trying to get the deal ev
Kiara POVFinally, I'm back home, I made my way upstairs, taken my bath and then relaxed a little. Xander seemed to still be settling some issues about the Darkwood with Lilly downstairs.I wanted to hear what they were talking about, but I honestly needed to bathe and relax.Hmm, the Darkwood main house is massive huh and the 12 elders of Darkwood are really problems and the biggest would be Eric Darkwood.Lilly told me more about him, apparently he's an old man who likes to live in secrecy, he's married with kids but no one has even seen his family in years, he definitely hid his weakness well.I need to find out where exactly they are and there are only two people who can help me with this, the first is Xander, but there is no way I'm asking him for help and the second would be my elder sister Diane.I honestly don't like asking her for favors in particular, but I just have to this time, I made the call, and she actually picked.“Hey Diane, how are you?” I asked.“I'm good, so what
KIARA POV It didn't take quite long, we got to the main house and then headed inside, finally got to the main room office.We both entered and the look on the elders' faces was very intriguing I should say.“Good morning everyone, so as you all know my wife, Kiara will be the one handling the affair of the party, so I just came to drop her off, so bye now,” Xander said and immediately left the room.Did he just leave like that, I knew he wasn't going to be here with me but he practically just disappeared now, I can't believe that man.I turned around, and they all looked like children whose role had been stolen from them in a show, which was quite pleasing to see honestly.“Well good day everyone, so I am definitely pleased to be here today, that I can assure you and in the affairs of the party I already read your plans on my way here, but I would like there to be a mixture of both families traditions,”Before I could continue speaking, I was interrupted by Abe.“My lady, we don't th
KIARA POV A few days passed, the preparation for the event had finally begun and it was really a lot. And finally, it's the weekend, Xander is not around since he has some business to handle, I don't have to leave the house and I can rest all I want.The weird dreams keep coming, and honestly, it is just so tiring cause, no matter how much I try to see who is calling me, it all gets blurred up.I got up from my bed and went to take my bath, got dressed and then as I was about to make my way down for breakfast my phone rang.It was my elder sister Diane.“Hey little sis,” she said as I answered the call.“Hey Diane, how are you ?”“I'm perfectly fine, and also I got the information on the Eric guy and ohh my is he an interesting man huh.”“And what did you find out about him?” I asked curiously.“Well just that he's not really hiding his wife and child, it's more like they are hiding him or should I say are trying to get rid of him.”“What?, what do you mean by that Diane?”“Well Eri
KIARA POV A few weeks had passed now and the Darkwood final exam and the party preparation were still ongoing.It's still early in the morning, but I'm already on my way to the main house.I know I'm really working hard for this but compared to Xander, it's like a joke, I mean that man literally made breakfast and was already in the main house even before I woke up.I still have numerous things to arrange and prepare for, but I really have not been able to talk to Xander a lot either nowadays.Not that I miss him or anything, and he seems very busy with the test preparation too.I finally got to the main house and I met with Daniel.“So the performances have finally been booked and the catering service too but the owners of the garden we decided to use still don't want to give it out, but they accepted to meet with us tomorrow,” he said.“Jeez, it has been 3 weeks now, and they still don't want to let us use it, it's not like we won't pay for the damn space, so why on earth won't th
Kiara POV “So are you surprised to see I'm still alive huh Kiara after you literally left me to die,” Dane, an ex-boyfriend, voiced out.Or should I say an ex mission of mine, I honestly can't believe he's right in front of me and alive at that and now the leader for the snake gang.It was five years ago I met Dane, and he was a person I needed to be friends with so I could get closer to some mafia men in Italy who had ripped off my Dad in a deal, and he wanted his payback with their lives He was a nice person I have to admit, and we even became good friends and then even started dating.And I did like him a little then, and he definitely didn't deserve what happened to him, but it was a mission father gave me and I just had to do it, I cannot fail my father no matter what.“So how do you feel huh, breaking up with me and then leaving me on that yacht to die, like who does that Kiara?” he voiced out.“It's not like I intentionally wanted to leave you there, I had no choice, okay, an
Kiara POV They still haven't noticed that I was awake yet so I closed my eyes and pretended to still be asleep. But what the actually hell was going on, how did I even end up here, I was just having a spa session and then suddenly. Ohh my it's was the guide, it had to be him ,shit I can't believe this, I should have been careful and immediately gotten out of that cab when I had my suspicion. But why they hell would the snakes even want to kidnap me. “Hey check her if she is still asleep, the boss said to make sure she is not awake during the ride,” one of the guys at the front of the car said. I didn't know which one since my eyes where closed and then suddenly one pressed my face, seems like he was trying to check if I was still asleep and that really hurt but I'm had to hold it in and then he finally let go. “So why exactly does boss even want to meet this woman huh, wouldn't it be better if we just killed her?” The one on my left asked. That bastard ,they won't actu
Kiara POV It's finally morning in Hawaii, the sun is shining, birds are chirping and even the air is so clean. I definitely see why people come here for vacation. It is absolutely a place you want to be in.I heard a knock on my door, and then I got up to answer it.“Good morning ma'am, I would like to know if you are eating inside or out ?”“Ohh I will be eating inside please,” I responded with a smile.“Okay ma'am, would the next 30 minutes be okay for the food to arrive then?” she asked.“Sure.”And then she left.I immediately had my bath and got dressed before the food arrived and when it finally did, I had my breakfast and then headed out to the main room.The place that we stayed in was a 5-star hotel, and they just had to book the penthouse level, such rich spenders they are huh.I got to the main room both Daniel and Mickey were already they're seated and for some reason Daniel was dressed in a very, very comfortable way.“Good morning guys,”“Good morning Kiara,” Mickey res
Kiara POV We finally began to move, and the flight was going to take at least 15 hours before we would get to Hawaii.“So let's go over everything,” I voiced out as we were all seated.“Our mission is to find the missing traitor Lang Diao, technically he was one of the people who betrayed the Darkwood wolves outer house and caused their demise during the 15 years war with the blades.”Hmm definitely seems like my father has a hand in this too, so is this why they all pushed the mission to me huh, those cowards, if they had questions, they could have just faced me and asked.“So his one of the traitors that caused the fall of the Darkwood wolves huh, I did hear they caught the remaining except one,” Mickey spoke out.“Right and that one they didn't catch even until now is Lang Diao, the leader of the traitors, who was last seen in Hawaii 5 years ago.” I said.“So about the man who is to help us in finding this man, Mickey have you heard from him?” Daniel inquired.“Yes I have and his
Kiara POV “Kiara, Kiara!!! Run Kiara!!!you have to survive no matter what!!”Arr not this dream again, I honestly do not need this right now.It's finally the day I leave with Daniel and Mickey for my mission in Hawaii and for the past two days Xander has been trying to find ways to follow me which were very funny and really weird, but he's given up now.Also, Nola finally sent the gift which was a leather jacket with a knife printed on the back and a note written inside that says ‘watch your back sweetheart’, I can't believe she threatened me with a gift, I'm definitely handling her when I get back.“Kiara are you okay?” Xander asked as I woke up from the dream again.“Yeah I'm fine just the weird dreams again,”“Hmm are you sure you don't want me to follow you Kiara?” “ I'm very sure, and I will be fine. Daniel and Mickey will be with me on the mission, and I'm not a child,” I responded.“Okay then if you say so, go get ready for your trip then,” he said as he got up from the bed
Kiara POV As Nola left the office, only silence remained as both Xander and I stared at each other, as if we were trying to read into each other souls.“So little princess, you miss me?” Xander asked, breaking that silence.Miss him please, I practically had my the best time without him being at home, nothing could ever be better than leaving alone honestly.“Nope, I definitely did not.” I responded quickly.“Hmm really little princess?” he asked, still with that smirk on his face.“Yes really, so that's Nola, huh?” I asked.“Yes that is her, and she is a lot, but she is a good person sometimes I think.”“You think, what do you mean you think?” I voiced out.“Well you know apart from her blowing everything up she is practically a sweetheart.” he said with a smile on his face that really seemed fake.“Hmm, sure she is.” There is no way that girl is sweet, just her aura alone was practically choking me, and she really seemed like someone who won't think twice before she kills me if sh
Kiara POV “Hawaii seriously?” Daniel asked.“Yes Hawaii, the job is mainly to find a traitor who has been missing for two years, now I see why no one wanted this mission,” I said with a hint of displeasure in my voice.“How exactly are we going to find someone, they could not find for two years now,” Daniel voiced out.“Well we just have to go there and find him, we don't have a choice since Kiara already accepted this mission,” Mickey stated.“That is right, I accepted the mission so we just have to do it and as for that sly Eric, I will just deal with him later, the man we are to find is in his late twenties, name is Lang dioa, a Chinese man and here is his picture” I said as I showed the picture.The man had a very young look for a man in his thirties, he had brown hair and eyes with a slim figure not really fit for fighting.How exactly have they not captured him yet?, he seems like a person you can find easily.“Well, he doesn't seem like someone that would be so difficult to fi
Kiara POV A week has passed now, and it's finally the day I resume back at the main house.Will I miss my break?, definitely yes because I had the best time ever during the past week, but it's time to go back to work now.I got up from my bed, had my bath, got dressed and went down to get breakfast one of the maids cooked.Xander has rarely been home since there is lots of stuff to handle and with Nola being around everything has become complicated, it seems like that girl has really been causing a lot of trouble.But I'm not complaining, I have been enjoying my time alone in the house and I absolutely do not miss him.Ate my breakfast and then got into the car and made my way to the Darkwood main house.Finally got to the main house and for the first time everywhere was noisy, it seemed like they were trying to catch someone.I got down from the car and just as I was about to walk in, suddenly a young lady with short black hair and a small figure ran right towards me, but I quickly
Xander POV I can't believe Nola is really here, it really is going to be loud from now on here in the main house.Lilly came back inside and we continued working.“So is she really that strong Xander?” Lilly asked, breaking the silence in the room.“Well if I didn't make you drop your gun at that moment you would not be alive right now, she really is an extremely dangerous person and one of the Darkwood top fighters, that's for sure,” I responded.“That is crazy, she is so young though,” she said.Before I could say anything more we heard a knock on the door.“Who is there?” Lilly asked.“The most handsome man you have ever met, Lilly.”We both knew who it was at that moment, and Lilly seemed annoyed at what Daniel said and decided to keep the door locked.“Come on Lilly open the door,” Daniel said.Lilly definitely did not seem like she planned on do so anytime soon.“Lilly just open it and let hear what he has to say,” I stated.She immediately then opened it up and Daniel almost f
