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 “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
