KIARA POV
And 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 they need which is the northern border for their business,” he replied. “But what if?” I uttered with a sigh of doubt. “Remember, his just a young new lord, so it should be easy to get this treaty done just remain calm and show no sign of fear,you know I only picked you for this because u are the most trained and strongest out of my daughters and I trust you won't fail me,” he said with a stern face. “Of course father I won't.” I nodded. I already know the main purpose for this marriage treaty is for me to be able to spy and discover the Darkwood society secrets and weakness and I am determined to do so. Few minutes passed and we arrived at the site waiting for the Darkwood Society to arrive. 2 hours passed and they were nowhere to be seen, at this point my father was already at his limit and was furious at their tardiness. “How dare this young man keep me waiting!” He shouted furiously. "Father, relax, you know this is unlike the Darkwood Society,they should be arriving soon,” I said trying to calm him down. Few minutes later they arrived, 5 black cars pulled up opposite ours and there he was the new Mafia lord of Darkwood coming down from the last one, he had dark slic hair and piercing dark emerald eyes and a very tall and muscular build. Standing from afar I could tell he was definitely more than 6ft, but that was not the shocking part, it was his chiselled chin and his piercing emerald eyes that seemed as if they could see deep into my soul. I had heard rumours of this man Xander Darkwood before of how he was handsome and most ladies in both mafia groups wanted to get in bed with him but I never paid it any attention. But wow, even I who had never given any man attention was stunned at his beauty .He noticed I was looking at him and gave a quirk smirk.I quickly removed my face so as to make sure my father notices nothing. “Good evening Leo Blade, sorry for my late arrival, I had an urgent matter to settle.” He stretched forth his hand to shake my father. “And a good evening to you Xander, I accept your apology just this once," Father answered with a stern face as he accepted the hand shake. We all then proceeded to enter the building to start the meeting of which we were all there for. As we were all seated now, an elder from the Darkwood Society stood up and started the meeting. “As we all know we are here to form a peace treaty between the Blade mafia family and the Darkwood Society, so as to open up the northern border in exchange for the Darkwood Society alliance,” he announced. “And what do we get in return?” a Blade mafia member asked. “Of course we promise to refrain from our attacks on the blade mafia family,” the Darkwood elder replied with a dark smile. The room was silent for a minute, then my father stood up to speak. “I have already accepted this marriage treaty and have brought my 3rd daughter here as she is to be the bride,” he said as he turned to look at me and stretched his hand so that I could get up. As I stood up I noticed how Xander, the man I was to get married to was deeply staring at me as if he wanted to devour me and then he stood up too and came towards me and my father. “And I would be the one to get married to her of course,” he uttered as he smirked. Honestly, I hated the way he smirks, it made me feel weak. I glared at him and he drew closer to me and bent to the side of my ear. “Is that anyway to look at your husband to be huh, my dear future wife," he whispered. And again I was stunned how his voice can make me this weak, I could not believe that a man I have never met before can make me feel this way. I answered sternly, “You are not my husband yet so I can look at you anyway I please.” He smirked again and then faced my father. “I accept this marriage treaty,” he said and then he shook my father. After that we all went back to our seats and other topics were brought up since the main one had been settled. It took about 2 hours for everything to be called to an end and then we were to leave to our various places, as my father and I were about to enter our car Xander appeared again to greet my father and again he stared at me. And again I felt that feeling of weakness I hate as he stared at me , it seemed like he was looking into my entire being and I could do nothing about it. He said his greeting to my father and then he made his way back to his car and left. Few minutes later, we also left and on our way back home my father spoke to me. “Kiara always remember that the man you saw today is your enemy and you must never show him your weakness or fall for his tricks," he said. “Of course father I won't,” I replied. And then we made our way back to the blade mafia family residence.XANDER POVI stared outside the car window watching the London night city, my mind wasn't on the city noise, but on her Kiara.It has been years, but finally I saw her again, my childhood friend. She still had that spark in her gorgeous golden eyes and she grew even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.“Xander, Xander!,can you hear me?” lily page called out.“Yeah I can hear you, so what's the update on the traitor that betrayed us?”“He has been captured and is being brought in for questioning.” Lily stretched her hands to pass the paper files.“So Xander, is she really the one you have been looking for?”“ Yes, she is, honestly I wasn't sure after receiving the information before but after seeing her today I'm definitely sure she is the one.” I let out a soft laugh. “Hmm, how sure are you that they are not trying to trick you?” Lilly uttered.“Stop asking too many questions and focus on the work you have at hand Lilly." I said opening the door of my car.Already at the D
KIARA POV“Kiara,Kiara!!”“What?!” I shouted as I woke up from the strange dream again.“Ohh my God, not this same weird dream again,” I voiced out as I got up from my bed.These dreams just keep reoccurring lately and it's really just stressing me out. I have lots of things to prepare for and I seriously just want this annoying dream to stop.For some reason, it's been coming up more than usual ever since I was told about my wedding with the Darkwood leader.“Knock, knock, good morning ma’am I'm here to serve your breakfast,” a maid outside stated.“Take it back for now, I want to train first before eating, okay? ” I sat on my chair as I replied to her.“Sure ma'am, but is everything alright?" She asked in a worried tone.“I'm fine, I just need to clear my head before eating all that." “Okay ma’am.”I get why the maid sounded worried. Normally I would just eat breakfast now and then train midday but I really just needed to clear my head of these weird dreams with training this morni
KIARA POVFinally, it was the day of my wedding, sounds of preparation everywhere and some guests had begun to arrive.“Kiara quickly go have your bath, you know we are already behind time," Sophie let out.“Okay I'm going." I had my bath and came out, Sophie already brought the dress in and the dress was breathtaking.She helped into the exquisite gown, carefully securing each button of the dress.“You look gorgeous, Kiara.”My eyes sparkled as I saw myself in the mirror. “Thank you Sophie, the dress is perfect.”I honestly never cared about the dress I would wear but wow, the dress was beautiful, it completely flattered my petite figure perfectly, Sophie really must have gone beyond to get this dress.We spent a few minutes on the makeup and then it was time to wear the jewellery.“I can't wait for you to see the necklace, Kiara," Sophie voiced out as she walked towards me with the box and guided me to sit down.She wore the necklace on me and it was stunning, it was a golden neckla
KIARA POV It took about an hour for us to get to this mysterious location I know nothing about, it was a little villa along the ocean side and it was actually really peaceful.Now I see why he said somewhere with just us two because this place was dead silence, nothing to hear except the sound of waves in the ocean.We parked in front of the house and then the silence broke again.“So little princess, do you like it?” Xander asked as he faced me.Honestly the place was perfect, the villa and the view was just warm and welcoming but there is no way I'm gonna admit to that in front of him.“Well it's okay I guess," I uttered.He let out a light laugh and then he smirked again. Ahh! I seriously hated when he does that, it was like he sees me as a little girl.He got out of the car and then came towards my side to get it open for me. At Least he has been behaving as a proper gentleman since I got married to him.“I want to hear your reply again once you have seen the inside." He handed t
KIRA POV I obviously knew what he was talking about when he said it's his time to eat but I still wanted to play ignorant and try to escape the situation. “Well didn't you cook for yourself?" I asked, trying to play ignorant. "Ohh I did, dear and now I want to eat my dish.”he replied as he moved his hands up to my waist. “Okay then, let me leave you to it.” As I tried to escape from his grip he pulled me closer and held me tight. He then whispered softly into my ear,“now stop trying to act unaware of what I mean little princess okay.” I know we are married now and I was expecting this but now that it is finally time, I honestly just feel shy and I don't even have any romantic feelings for him. He suddenly kissed me and I was too weak to even withdraw. It was a slow but intense kiss, our lips slowly dancing with each other's, his hands caressing my waist and again I'm feeling weak in this man's embrace. It was like my whole body was drowning in his and then it became
KIARA POVAs I made my way downstairs I heard Xander's voice and it seemed he was on call.It sounded so serious and I knew at that moment that this was something I definitely wanted to report.I walked down a little making sure I was as quiet as possible so I could clearly hear what the discussion was about.“We have to find a way to get them to sign the business deal. Okay,we can't let them slip from us this time,” Xander said, still on the call.“You know we can't let this oil deal with the sharmans pass us by at a time like this, We need this to recover from the damage that traitor caused us recently,” he said with a stern voice.Ohh so that's what this about, I remember was it a month ago father talked about wanting to sign an oil deal with the sharmans but they said they had already found some other gang that match their full requirements.So the other gang was the Darkwood huh, but since they are having issues right won't it be a perfect time for the blade to swoop in, get the
KIARA POVIt was a private airplane specifically used for skydiving. I can't believe the surprise was a skydiving date. I was literally stunned. Not only that, but I could not believe that this man just planned a skydiving date within just a few hours after I told him that it was one of my most loved hobbies.I mean this was outstanding, but it was also crazy, I mean who just plans a skydiving date within hours and actually gets it done. Even my family would not be able to pull this off, it would take at least 4 days for them to get everything ready, this is just beyond words.“Surprising little princess,” Xander said.I was still amazed at what I was seeing and didn't bother to reply to him.Seeing how I was stunned, he then dragged me towards the airplane and then said, “stop staring and get inside.”We boarded the plane and then took off to air. I was so excited since it had been quite a while since I had skydived.There was only one instructor, since we both already knew how to sk
KIARA POV“Except whom,Kiara?” Xander asked.“Except Jake Don.” I said with a sign of annoyance.“Jake Don, you mean Marssel Don son, the future leader of the Don syndicate?” Lilly asked.“Yes, that Jake Don.” I responded. “But the Don's are an Italian Mafia, and they would not dare try such a thing in London,” Xander stated. “Well if the rumors I heard about Jake are right, this is something he can definitely do, there are rumors saying he is a crazy guy who isn't concerned with the repercussions of the thing he does,” Daniel said.“Yes, he is certainly crazy, I for sure know that,” I said.Xander faced me and asked“And why exactly does he want to have our heads and how do you know him?” “Because I'm his ex and the bastard kind of swore that he would kill any man I got close to apart from him after I had dumped him 6 months ago.”“What?!” Xander exclaimed.“I didn't really think he meant it, I can't believe he would actually try to kill me.”Honestly, I haven't seen the crazy guy
Kiara POV “Kiara! Kiara!, run Kiara! Never trust a _”“Never trust what?” I said as I woke up with an aching pain at my upper right chest.Seeing right in front of me a strange room, I had never seen before, I tried to move and then.“Ahh this hurts so much,” I voiced out as I could not hold the pain in.And then suddenly the door opened and right in front of me was Xander with tears just about rolling from his eyes as he immediately rushed to hug me.“Kiara, you awake, you really came back to me,” he muttered as.“Ahh too tight,” I muttered, still feeling the aching pain.“Ohh so sorry dear, but Kiara you are finally awake, nurses call the doctor immediately,” he voiced out as the tears came rushing down.For the first time in my life I saw him Xander cry, like he had lost the most precious being in his life.What the hell was happening right now, why is Xander here and why exactly is he even crying and what is this throbbing pain I'm feeling in my chest.And the memory finally hit
Daniel POV Bang!Just with a single shot everywhere became crazy.“Kiara!, Kiara!, open your eyes Kiara!,” I voiced as my hands trembled in fear with her on me.Did Kiara just die in front of me right now? She can't die, not now, not ever, Kiara please you need to wake up.“Daniel!, stop zoning out right now and get Kiara to the hospital, she is not dead okay her hands are still moving, so get out of here now before it's too late,” Mickey voiced out.I got myself back and immediately carried Kiara up,“ You will be able to handle this place right?” I asked.“Yes, now go save Kiara, she cannot die here no matter what, okay Daniel, I will catch Lang and Abe, so just make sure she survives,” he said.And then I ran as fast as I could, got into a car and drove straight to the nearest hospital.Quickly got here in there“Help! It's an emergency, someone got shot!” I screamed out as I rushed into the hospital.A bed was immediately rolled in, and then they carried her from my arms.“Sir, pl
Kiara POV “So Abe is connected to Lang Diao huh?” Daniel questioned.“Yes he is, and they actually seemed to be very close before the whole fights and betrayal that happened 5 years ago,” I responded.“ Well then, Abe is definitely connected to Lang Diao now for sure,” Mickey said.“Yes, and he has been making contacts with him for the past 3 years now, Diana got the details,” I said as I handed the files to them both.“So Abe helped Lang escape and then began working in the gang and drug business with him, and it even says here that they have 4 storage rooms for them and are just about to open a new branch in London which they would announce tomorrow, wow these old men really are gusty huh,” Mickey voiced out.“ They sure are Mickey, now we just need to find out exactly where Lord Abe is right now,” I said.“Well that should be easy, since he still hasn't been fully removed from Darkwood yet, his flight travels will definitely be monitored by the main house,” Daniel responded.“Well
Kiara POV “How exactly did you find out about them?” Lang voiced out in anger. “Aww you want me to tell you huh, well, I will don't worry about that but first Mickey you can take off your mask now and do remove the clothe from Abe face,” I said. The stunned look on Abe face seeing the face of Mickey, Daniel and me as he was tied was far even more funny than Lang's own. “Well surprise lord Abe, I'm pretty sure you thought this plan was definitely full proof, and honestly, I won't lie it was, just that you used it against me a former Blade,” I said with a smirk. “Did you really believe that I wouldn't find out you were involved huh old man, I honestly thought after you lost that right arm you would just relax, but I guess old habits don't die quickly huh.” “But there is no way you could have found out I was involved, everything was perfect,” Abe said. I immediately put a dagger right straight to his neck and then said,“ well not really since there were holes in this your s
Kiara POV We finally left the hotel with our disguises and then made our way to the snakes main base which is all the way on the other side of the islands.Dane was held securely with me and Daniel at the back seat, and he seemed to comply with everything, seeing Daniel has totally messed the guy's mind.“Exactly how long would this drive take,” I asked.“Should be around an hour, Kiara,” Mickey responded as he sat in the front seat with Josh driving.“Seriously an hour that is honestly far too long.”“Well, we have no choice right now as this is the only way to get there, ” Josh said.“Hmm okay then.”I can't believe I have to send an hour right next to these two, I honestly can't wait to get this mission done and over with.An hour passed, and finally, we had entered the hooligans streets and were about to reach the snakes' headquarters hideout thanks to Dane guiding.“Okay guys, we are about to enter now, so get ready to mingle well and try to go unnoticed,” Mickey said as Josh st
Kiara POV “Kiara, Kiara!! Run Kiara run!!!,” that same voiced screamed out loud in my head as fire burnt everywhere. “Ahh my head, not this dream again,” I voiced out as I instantly got up from my bed. For some reason, this dreams only come up when I'm about to deal with issues, I honestly got to admit maybe I do need to see a therapist about this. But there is now at I'm telling Xander, I will just have to do this after the mission. It's finally the day of the snakes weekly meeting, and I'm definitely ready for this, even though I woke up from that strange dream again, there is no way I'm letting that stop my momentum now. I got up from my bed, went to take my bath and immediately got dressed up, Josh already got your out clothes and the snake's jacket and luckily for me, there was a female snake with just about my size. Made my way out of after getting dressed and the artist who was going to do our makeup was already on stand by just about to work on Daniel and surpris
Kiara POV “Wait what!!, isn't this our tour guide?” I voiced out as we all stood in shock staring at the picture that definitely is of the tour guy who showed us around the hotel and outside.Multiple questions came rushing down my head at that moment, if Lang is this man then did he already know we were coming? And even if he did, how did he know it was us in particular? And how is it that he knew the hotel we were going to stay in?, does this mean that we have someone betraying us from the Inside?Also does this mean he's not associated with the snakes, but then he would have to be since he was able to contact them easily and why didn't he just try to kill me when I was vulnerable.Honestly, this was really a lot to understand at that moment.“And you are very sure this is the man after the surgery?” Mickey asked.“Yes I'm very sure, I do not forget the face of a patient,” Fred responded.“Hmm okay then thank you, this was very helpful, we will be taking our leave now then” Mickey
Kiara POV “Knock, knock!! Wake up, sleepy head,” a voice from outside my room woke me up.“Jeez just stop knocking, okay, I'm awake now, who is it ?” I voiced out.“ Your saviour of course, it's time already so get up and come out,” Daniel replied.And now he's calling himself my saviour, ohh my let me just get this mission done and get over all of this.“Daniel stop calling yourself my saviour, that is just weird, also give me 5 min, and then I will be ready and out.” I said as I got up from my bed to freshen up.It didn't take long, and I made my way out of my room and everyone was already seated, including Mickey's friend, I think his name was Josh if I recall correctly.I went to take a glass of water and then sat in the main room with them.“So Josh, right?” I inquired just to be sure.“Yeah that's my name, it's a pleasure to properly meet you now Mrs. Darkwood,” he responded as he went for a handshake.I accepted with pleasure, seeing how polite he was with his greeting. He doe
Xander POV We made our way to the Blade office and after an hour we got there.And as expected, they were definitely surprised to see me there, we walked into the building and then was escorted to Leo main office.We walked in and there he was Leo Blade sipping what, I assume, should be coffee.“Good morning,” I said with a smirk on my face.“Well good morning to you Xander, do have a seat and to what do I owe this pleasure,” he asked with a face that certainly shows he knew why we are here.“ Nothing much really, just decided it's been a while we have seen each other, and we are family so we should keep in contact often won't you say,” I responded.“Yeah right, what do you really want Xander, I'm busy,” he said. “Just wanted to know exactly why you have been meeting with my workers Leo?” I inquired in a stern tone.“And what proof do you have of that?”I signaled Lilly, and she immediately dropped the picture on the table.“Well is that enough proof for you, father-in-law?”“Hmm th
