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 It is finally just three days to the Darkwood final test examination and Daniel seemed almost prepared for the test, I mean he's nowhere close to my level, but he's a fast learner, and he is definitely capable of passing it in flying colours.They change the type of test every year and this year it is to take place in an underground house, ohh well I have trained him well, so he should be fine.As for the party preparation, it has been really hectic, but we are fully done now, the venue, food,fireworks, and everything else are fully booked and ready. Daniel has been a great help to me in that and seems like he has finally opened up to me and now trusts me.Everything is perfect, nothing can go wrong now, I can fully rest this time.Suddenly, a small towel landed on my face as I sat in the Darkwood main house training room.“I wonder why exactly you are thinking so much about it, that you didn't notice the towel approaching your face,” Daniel said as he approached me.“Just
Xander POV The stage for the final test seems to finally be coming together now.“Xander, all the chairs for the people watching have finally been all set and then the ring for the rights are almost set up completely," Lilly said as she handed me a file. The file contained everything about the whole exam's test and preparation, it seemed like we were almost done with everything. “Also, the invitation to the blades family has also been sent, and they have sent their replies,” she said.“And what were their replies?” I asked.“ Surprisingly, Leo Blade agreed to attend the party with his 2 daughters and a few members of his,” she responded.“Hmm, well that's good then, do make sure all our men are fully ready for that day.”“I will sir,” Lilly responded and then suddenly her phone rang.She picked it up, and then she suddenly seemed stunned, as if she could not believe what she just heard.She then cut the call and then said,“ Sir they seem to be a major issue at the main house.”“And
Kiara POV “Yes father,” I responded, my head bent right back down instantly and I waited for his words.“You were to make sure the Darkwood don't get that land, leaving it to us to acquire, right?” he asked in a stern tone.“Yes that is right father,” it responded with my head still bent low.“And could you explain to me what happened,” he asked, sounding even more cold than his usual angry tone.I stared around, and could see Diane laughing, how dare this lady, I thought she had already kept her end of the deal, but it seems like she took me for a fool huh.“Well, Father,” I muttered slowly.“ Yeah it's okay, Diane already explained the whole situation to me, so I know the outcome was not on you to blame,” he stated as his time suddenly became softer.“Ohh really, she told you what happened, ?” I asked.“Yeah she did, technically she lost through a board game, and well, I'm not too surprised, she is extremely terrible at them.” he said as he chuckled a little.Ohh so she did keep he
Kiara POV “Don't worry Kiara, she will definitely always be with you, now run! Kiara Run!”“Just who I'm I running from!” I voiced out as I woke up.Ahh jeez, here I thought I was free from that weird dream after leaving star island.I massaged my forehead slowly as I stared around my room, hmm well it is nice to be back here, and I wonder where Xander is.Oh, right he did seem busy with this whole annual event preparation, not surprised his not here right now, not even sure he got back home yesterday, oh well, I'm pretty sure his fine wherever he is.At least he doesn't have an angry father to meet today, I just feel it's going to a very long day for me already.“Well then shall I start my Day,” I stated as I stood up and faced right to the mirror.“Well I guess that's the end of my one-day vacation huh, it was delightful while it lasted, now it's time to get back to work and also time to face my father,” I said to myself as I finally switched on my phone.And well, no surprise, I s
Xander POV I made my way straight to the main house as I drove, and then my phone rang. “Yeah, who is it?” I asked. “It's Silver, Sir,” she responded in a soft tone. “Ohh, silver, you guys got back quick, huh,” I said. “Yes sir, taking care of the rest going, really wasn't too much of a challenge, seeing most were already half dead anyway,” she responded. “So just to what do I owe this sudden call then?” I asked. “Well about the pictures and documents hidden at the old family estate you said I should try to check out for” she responded. “Yes, did you find anything?” I asked. “Yes, sir, I did,” she replied. Oh, my I can't believe it was actually there, now this is fascinating, just how exactly did that lady even know I was looking for this file, huh? And just how did she get it out of the blade house and into the old family house warehouse? But wait if it really is the pictures, then the last thing I need right now is an elder seeing it, but it is silver I doubt s
Kiara POV Ring! Ring!! The phone rang a second time, this time unfortunately catching Xander's attention.“Do you not intend to pick that call ?” Xander asked, as his eyes stared right at my phone.“Well_”“Well, won't you?” he asked again, this time in a more curious tone.Yeah, I'm definitely not picking this right now, I need at least a day free from drama, picking this call right now destroys every means of that happening.“Nah, it's not relevant anyway,” I responded, turning my phone right off.“Hmm really?” he asked with a smirk.“Yes really, now then shall we go inside,” I said as I quickly made my way into our house.And surprisingly, everything was still the same inside, and thank goodness for that, I cannot deal with another crazy change inside this already massive house, that I still barely know my way around.I made my way up the stairs as Xander was busy with the luggages.I decided to take a stroll around, I mean it really has been a while here, I need to be certain I
Kiara POV “Run! Kiara, run! Run Do not forget!!”“I shouldn't forget what!” I voiced out as I woke up from the dream staring right at Xander.“Hmm that weird dream again,” he asked in a concerning tone.“Yeah, it started again when I came to the island,” I responded as I slowly massaged my forehead.“So you want to tell me what exactly the dream is now,” he said.“Yeah it's about_I said as I suddenly stopped.Wait, was I just about to tell him about this dream, are you crazy Kiara?No matter what you feel, this man is still your family's greatest enemy, you just can't trust him.“ Well what is it?” he asked.“Nothing, it's nothing, just some odd dream I can't really explain,” I muttered as I laughed as I avoided his gaze.“Hmm okay then if you say so, but you know you can tell me anything right Kiara,” he said as he came close, his head on mine.I really wish I could tell you, but you are still a Darkwood and I just can't fully trust you yet Xander.“Sure I know,” I responded as I p
Kiara POV “You do know we just became enemies to the Grey's right” I asked, still his arms.“Well it was bound to happen any so why not make it much sooner,” he responded with a smile on his face.“You really do not fear anyone huh,” I stated as I smirked, staring right at him.“ I'm a Darkwood dear, we fear no one,” he stated in a firm tone.And then we finally left the old family estate, silver and the other elders were left to take care of the rest of the old family members that might have still been hidden.I guess they really don't want to leave anyone alive huh, ohh well those old family bastards did try to kill me twice so yeah they all deserve death.We got on the private plane and then finally left the star island.I seriously think they should rename this crazy Island, though.“So, my little princess, how was the mission and your stay at the old family estate,” Xander asked as he suddenly held me at my waist.“Are you really asking me this question?” I asked, staring right
Kiara POV “So you really did miss me, huh?” Xander asked as we finally stopped kissing.Did I miss him? Of course, I did, I missed this man so much that I still can't even believe I could miss a soul this much.But I'm never going to admit that.“No, I didn't,” I responded, avoiding his gaze as I smirked.“Oh really, then why did you rush right to my arms ?” he asked as he smirked.“ Well that's just because I saw your arms wide open, and I thought it would be sad to just leave you hanging in front of your people,” I responded.“Yeah, okay, let's just go with it,” he said as he let out a little laugh.“So a surprise attack on the old family, that's something,” I stated, staring right at him.“Yeah, they had it coming already, those old rats dared allow an attack on my wife on their watch and on her first day at that,” he replied.“Oh wait, don't tell me you are destroying the old family right now because of the attack from the black knights?” I asked.“Well isn't that more than enoug
Kiara POV The whole place went silent and frozen at that moment.The Grey's, the Blades and even us the Darkwood all stood there staring at the dead butler right in front of our faces.Did we just see a bullet go through Mr. Butler head, and just why exactly is Nola smiling so happily right now?What the hell is really happening right now!And just before I could react, I was pulled right down by Daniel and Mickey, as we hid at a table right at the edge of the stage and then gun shots went right across the room continuously“Nola, what the fuck is happening right now?” I voiced out, my hands covering my ears from the bullet's sounds.“Well pay back Kiara, so hope you all have your weapons on you right?” she asked.“Yes, we do,” we responded in unison.“Perfect, now do try not to die by the old family hands,” she stated.“And just why are we trying not to die?” I asked.“Well because from this moment we are attacking the old family Kiara, and we are officially their enemies, and they
Kiara POV “Run!!! Kiara Run !!!!, run!” the voiced echoed loudly in my dreams and I suddenly woke up.“Argh, seriously, not this annoying dream again,” I muttered as massaged my forehead slowly.And just here I thought I was free from these weird dreams after the whole Hawaii incident, but it doesn't seem to be the case.I truly wish I could go back to when the dream stopped appearing, and I was free from this morning, annoying headache.I somewhat do think it's because I came to this crazy Island, the dream decided to resurface again.I seriously can't wait to be out of here and be free from all the craziness.And in that sense, I am thrilled it is finally the day of bidding!!Which means after today I will be so out of here, free from this old family estate, their terrible games and very terrible taste in naming stuff.I might have woken up with an annoying headache, but I don't care right now, I'm just so glad I will be done after today.I got right up from my bed and then took my
