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 POVAnd again it's that weird dream, it always starts with fire burning everywhere and someone screaming my name and when I try to look back everything gets so blurry and then I wake up.“Knock,knock! Kiara you have to wake up, you are going to be late for the meeting,” my elder sister Sofie called out from outside my room door. “I'm awake, Sofie, just give me 30 min to get ready.”“Okay just be quick cause father is already ready,” sofie replied.Today's the day for the meeting between the two major mafia groups in London. I, Kiara Blade. I'm about to attend a meeting with my father Leo Blade, the leader of the Blade Mafia family, in order to sign a marriage treaty with the new Mafia lord of the Darkwood society. “Father, do you honestly believe that the Darkwood would really accept this treaty even after the 15 years war we have had with them?” I asked silently as we were on our way to the meeting site.“Of course Kiara, they have no other choice since we have something the

KIARA POVA faceless man! I can't believe they actually removed his face, the Darkwood are known for how brutal they can be, but this is really extreme. “Xander, that man does not have a face anymore," I uttered. “Yeah , he was kind of very annoying and stubborn, so we had to deal with him a little," he said with a smile. A little, he calls this a little, I almost died because of his stupid attack, and he definitely deserves worse than this, but he just got here, and he already does not have a face.It is a little funny seeing him this way though and the jack I know would have been shouting but here he is looking so quiet.“Kiara is that you?” Jack said as he opened his eyes.“Yes it's me.”“Please help me,” he begged with his voice sounding like a beat down truck.“Help you?!, you bastard literally almost had me killed, and now you want my help.”“ The attack wasn't meant for you Kiara, it was for the man who forced you to get married to him.” “ I don't care who the attack was f
Kiara POV “Knock!, knock,”“Who is it?” I asked as I got up from my bed.“I'm one of the maid ma, I am here to tell you that dinner is already served,” a voice from outside responded.“Okay, I will be on my way down soon,” I said, and then I heard her footsteps leaving.I really have not gotten the time to meet the maids in the house, but I will do so soon, it is just that this place is too huge, even taking a walk around is literally an exercise.I soon made my way downstairs to take my dinner.Xander should be on his way back by now, since I already got a message that they had captured Jack.I got down and there Daniel was already eating. “You do know it's courtesy to wait for the other person before you start eating, ” I said as I took my seat.“And a good evening to you, Kiara,” he said as he got up and came towards me.“And why are you coming towards me huh Daniel,” I said with a look of annoyance.“ Well to wait for your highness to finish eating before I start since it seems
