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 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
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 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
Kiara POV We finally got to the venue and then we walked in.I know I was there through all the settings and preparation but seeing it presently was just blissful.The music, the lights, the chairs, everything was just perfect at that moment.We came early since we were the ones hosting it, and we need to be here first to greet our guests. We both went to different places for that moment, since I had to go check on something, and he needed to meet the winners of the final test.It didn't take too long and finally the party started. We both went together to greet the guests who also started arriving and everyone looked like they were truly enjoying themselves.The music played, and the performances were dancing, and it was beautiful and then finally my family came.The air in the party definitely changed with their arrival, and I'm not surprised considering we were practically mortal enemies with the Darkwood for years now.“Hey Kiara, I missed you so much,” Sarah said as she rushed
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
Kiara POV What! Why is she asking this now of all times?Her eyes staring right into my soul as I stood there frozen at the words she had just asked.She had asked this question many times but this time, it felt different she really wasn't joking this time, and I'm sure she already knew the answer too.How exactly was I to answer such question, how could I tell my sister I had fallen in love with a man who is our family enemy, a man who was the cause of countless problems for the blades.A man I'm meant to hate with my body and soul.“Hmm, I guess your silence answers my question little sister, well then I will take my leave now” she said with a smile as she then turned her back as was about to walk off.My hands instantly grabbing hers and I held her back.“And just why are you holding me, Kiara?” she asked as she turned back to me and I still stood there frozen.My eyes right on hers pleading at that moment as I was too scared to speak.I can't imagine what would happen if she told
Kiara POV “Miss Nola, what exactly is the meaning of this?” the butler asked in a stern and cold tone, his eyes still fixed on Nola.“Well I'm sure you are not blind right?” she asked as she let out a laugh.The tension in the room grew even more dark as everyone sat in silence as we all wondered what exactly had Nola shown the butler to make him so furious.“So is this enough to buy our way in the bidding now huh Mr. Butler?” Nola asked, her eyes staring right at his as she smirked with so much joy.I could see the butler as he swallowed his saliva right at that moment, his eyes still filled with anger as he responded,“Sure why not Miss Nola, the Dark wood has gotten in, and the bears unfortunately are out.”“Well then it is settled, yay,” Nola said as she closed the suitcase as was right about to carry it back with her and the butler suddenly held her hands.“Miss Nola, I'm sure you know the deal right ?” he asked with his eyes closed as he let out a mischievous smile. As it then s
Kiara POV Each team gathered around to talk to each other for the 5-minute break we had before the game began. “So what number did you get ?” Nola asked as we all gathered.“Four,” I responded.“Okay then what about you two, huh?” she asked as she faced both Daniel and mickey.They both replied and Daniel had 10 while Mickey had 7, Nola surprisingly got 1.“So nobody still knows which card game we are to play, huh?” Mickey asked.“Yeah nobody knows, also there will be 5 rounds we need to at least win 2,so please tell me you all are actually good at card games ?” Nola asked.I seriously just hope it's not the bridge card game, that's just the worst card game I have ever experienced, and I always tend to lose no matter what.And yeah, I'm definitely not telling her that I'm bad at the bridge card game, and there is only like 5 percent chance that it might be the game we play.So it's better I don't mention it and jinx myself.“Yeah we are good,” Daniel responded, and then the buzz sou
Kiara POV Finally, after 2 good hours, I had the rest I needed and this time no weird dreams.I got up to check the time and still had 2 extra hours before whatever bidding game they wanted to do.Seeing I still had lots of time left, I decided to read the rules of the bidding game Nola sent.I still don't comprehend why they chose to do this game when we have the actual bidding tomorrow.And I just feel they would definitely come up with a stupid name from this game again.I started reading the rules, and they were pretty normal, I think.So first the game would take place with us all seated at a huge table and there are numbers on the seats to this table which we all have to pick from a black box.The leader of each team is to bring a black suitcase, and they will be informed of what to bring inside it.After picking, we all are to get seated and already have a game plan and then the game will proceed.Are these people kidding me right now!How the hell are we to have a game plan w
Kiara POV “Kiara! Run Kiara, Never trust a _ “Never trust a what?” I voiced out as I suddenly woke up from the dream, My head aching badly as I checked the time to see it was just 8am in the morning. I seriously need to find a way to fully get rid of these annoying dreams that just can't seem to leave me alone. I sat up, my hands on my head as I slowly massaged my forehead, trying to reduce the pain I felt right at that moment. And then the phone suddenly ranged. “And just who the hell would decide to call me this early, huh,” I muttered angrily as I stretched a little to pick up my from the table on my right. Oh, please let it not be someone I detest, I really do not need any more bad energy this early morning. And I seriously could not believe it was Diane, what I had pleaded not to happen came to pass, just why the hell is this lady calling me so early. “And just why are you calling ?” I instantly asked as I picked the call. “You do know greeting first is the pr
Kiara POV Oh, well, I guess that's the end of Mr. Matteo Suits huh, he does deserve the death, though.“Well then Kiara, shall we go see everybody now,” Nola said as she smiled brightly.“Yeah I guess but what about the body ?” I asked.“Ohh that, don't worry about it, it's not like anyone actually cares anyway, and honestly, I'm literally doing everyone a favour,” she responded as she then closed the lid back, covering Matteo's dead body.And then we made our way back to the garden field where everyone else was, and we walked up to Daniel and Mickey.“And just where have you ladies been,”; Daniel asked as he smiled, and then I suddenly remembered his confession.Kiara, get that thought out of your head right now and focus okay.“We have just been having some girl bonding time, right Nola ?” I asked as I faced Nola with a smile.“Yeah, no we were definitely not doing that, now bye ,” she said as walked off.Oh that bitch, I can't believe for a second I thought we might have been cool
