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 We made our way back home since there was still time left before the party began.Xander dropped me off and then left since he had some issues to attend to before the start of the party and I would mostly spend a few hours getting prepared for it.I made a few calls just to make sure everything was going fine with the party arrangements which took about thirty minutes, and then I made my way to my room and I saw a box for new clothes on the bed.This is just screaming Xander, it seemed like he noticed I still hadn't picked a dress yet since I was so occupied with everything.A note was on it, I picked it up and then read it.“Couldn't imagine you in any dress more beautiful than this one.”PS:a gift from your husband.Okay, he is definitely a terrible writer, I thought to myself as I let out a little laugh. I then made my way to the bathroom.Took my bath and then started with my makeup, not perfect at it, so I just did something light and simple, then made my way to the dr
Kiara POV“Kiara!! Kiara,run Kiara!!" “What exactly am I running from?!!!” I screamed out and then I woke up.“Kiara are you okay?"Xander asked with an anxious look.“Yeah I'm fine, just the stupid dream,” I replied with a fake smile on my face.“Really, a stupid dream huh but you literally just screamed,” he said.“It's really nothing okay, just forget about it, also today is finally the day,” I voiced out with excitement.“ You really sound excited, I thought you were not be interested in this before?”“Well I'm not excited just that after a month of having practice with your brother and then all that happened with the whole party preparation, I am just looking forward to seeing everything come to a perfect end.” I said.“Hmm okay if you say so,” he responded sarcastically.“I'm serious, I'm not excited okay,”“And I believe you little princess,” he responded with that annoying smirk on his face.“Whatever,” I said and then got up from the bed.We both then took our bath and then g
Kiara POV It's the final day before the event and my phone has been buzzing with different calls.“Mrs Darkwood, the catering service just called back, and they agreed to do it,” a Darkwood member said.“ Ohh good, okay, just send them the venue details and bring the payment account to my office,” I replied, and then I cut the call.The phone rang again and I picked it up.“Mrs Darkwood, the entertainment industry has agreed too, ma'am,” another member said.“Ohh finally, that's great, just send the venue and bring the payment slip to me,” I responded and then cut the call.“Knock, knock! Mrs Darkwood, your signature is needed for this ma'am," a member said as she waited in front of my door.“Ohh okay, come in here then, let me sign it now.” I responded. I can't believe everything is actually coming to place. I had almost lost hope, but after Xander got the Maxwell garden venue back, everything has been going uphill, and I'm so glad.It has been really hectic and seriously busy, esp
