XANDER POV
I 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 Darkwood Society headquarters, Lily is still explaining the situation about the traitor that has been captured. “So what I'm hearing is that the guy was the one that leaked out the last business trade and the reason we lost 1 billion pounds,” I yelled. “Yes sir,” Lily answered swiftly. “Alright bring the traitor to my office for interrogation.” “But sir we already did that," Lily uttered as we entered my office. “And has he confessed the main culprit's name?” “No he has not,” she replied with her face laced with disappointment. "Just bring him here.” I declared with a stern voice. As I sat on my chair, the traitor known as Jack was brought in, soaked in his own blood, proof that he has been sternly pondered and interrogated. “Who put you up to this?" I asked, grabbing him up. “It was an elder from the blade mafia family.” Jack confessed with his voice shaking. “I'm not surprised that they would pull this kind of trick, after all that is what they are known for.” "But you, a Darkwood member, dared to betray us, you do know what happens to people who betray in this mafia family right?” I said, throwing him back down as wrath seethed beneath my voice. “Please, Please! Have mercy on me.” He cried out as they dragged him out of my office to be executed. Door's closing off “Are you sure you still want to move forward with the marriage treaty even after discovering what the blade's did again?” Lily asked while moving towards my table to hand me the remaining files. “Of course I do, I'm already used to the blade mafia family tricks and I was expecting something like this already.” "Hmm, okay if you say so,” Lily replied with a displeased look. I honestly can't be bothered with her look right now , I need to find a way to get back the money I lost quickly and also pick the date for the wedding and where it will take place. “Xander, is it true, is she really the one?” Daniel shouted as he burst through my doors. " Yes Daniel she is , but seriously you barging into my office anytime you desire just because you are my younger brother is getting pretty annoying,” I replied with a stern face. “Sorry.” He replied silently sitting on a chair. “Lily, excuse us now." Signalling her to go finish up the punishment for the traitor. “Okay sir.” She uttered as she left the room. “Now then Daniel should you not be training for your final mafia test at this moment.” I stated as I continued scrolling through the files on my desk. “I'm actually done with my training for today. That's why I rushed over here , so tell me how is she ?” He asked eagerly. “She looks beautiful as ever and actually has a very petite body” I uttered with a smirk on my face. “Ohh really?” He asked as brought his chair closer looking at me with an eager face. “Yeah and she had a very deadly but beautiful gaze and her aura was just mesmerising.” “Tell me more.” Daniel voiced as he moved his chair closer. “That is all you need to know Daniel.”I said as I pointed towards the door for him to leave. He quickly understood and got up to leave. “Right, Daniel before you go." “Yeah what?" He asked “I need you to work with Lilly to find the perfect venue for the wedding, okay." “Okay but you do know I don't really get along with Lily, right?" He muttered. “Yeah I know and I don't care, just get it done.” “But she is honestly so rude," he uttered. “But she gets the job done, so just do what I say okay." “I will.” he sighed leaving my office. “Finally I can focus,” I exhaled. As I try to focus on my remaining work for the day , Kiara just keeps pumping into my thoughts and no matter how hard I try I could not get her out, but how could I when I remember her stunned face when she first saw me, she looked so divine with her long red hair. The way she walks, sits, smiles and even frowns is just perfect in every way. Even when she stared at me with such a deadly gaze , I could only be mesmerised at how beautiful those golden eyes of hers were. At how slender her figure is and how even with such a small body she has such the eyes of someone that can murder her enemy without remorse. I honestly can't wait for her body and soul to be finally mine. “I just can't stop thinking about her.” I sighed as I faced the unfinished files on my desk. “Knock knock, sir, your dinner is ready,” a maid called out. “Okay, I will be there soon,” I replied. “I guess I will have to finish this tomorrow then,” I murmured to myself as I closed the files and left for the dinning.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
XANDER POVIt didn't take long for Lilly and my men to find the whereabouts of that idiot jack.“Xander, one of your men has spotted Jack at a casino in one of the downtown street of London,” she said.“ Okay tell him to stay back and keep and eye on Jack without being too noticed, we make our way there immediately," I responded.“ Okay and should they attack immediately when they get there?” I got into the car and then said,“no they should all just wait for my command, I really would like to have a talk with this jack first.”“Okay Sir,”We then made our way to the downtown casino. “Lilly, you have called the Dons and told them to forget they ever had a son named Jack right?” I asked with a stern voice. “Yes, sir, I have.”“Good, now let's go see our new friend Jack.”It didn't take too long, and we arrived at the casino and as luck would have it, it just turned out to be an old friend of mine who owns this particular one.“Lilly tell our men to get in place and also go tell the o
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
Xander POV “Xander, I have the files ready now,” Lilly voices out from outside as I sat down flipping through some documents“Come in,” I said.She walked and then handed the files right to me.“And the stuff I told you to handle?” I asked.“Well sir, I already gathered more than 60 of our men available right now, including 5 elder here now,” she responded.“Okay, that's perfect, things should be much easier with that number,” I stated as I went through the files“But Xander, do we really need to destroy the old family right now, we are already going to win the land, right?” she asked.“You know, as a member of the Darkwood and being my aid, I'm actually disappointed you asked this,” I said as her face grew in shock at my words.“Wait, what? Why?” she inquired.“Well, so do you actually believe with the whole history we have with the old family, they will actually sell our land back to us?” I asked as she stood silent and not responsive.“The old family never intended to hand that la
Kiara POV “Oh shit! Did you just kill that black knight, now that's an entrance,” Nola said as she turned back to look at the view.“Well what can I say, I just have a thing for entrances huh,” I responded with a proud face.“Yeah, no you don't,” she said as she rolled her eyes at me.Oh this bitch, and here I thought I might actually be able to tolerate her during this game, I seriously want to kill her here now.“Okay Kiara, I am sure you already memorized the right will look at it since, so I will be leaving you now, let's meet at the center, then make our way out,” she said as she held her guns out.“And just why do you think I memorized the layout?” I asked.Well, I did memorize it, but she shouldn't just think people would do that, right?“Well because you are not that stupid, right? I mean, any properly trained spy should have already had the layout memorized by now,” she said, I eye right on me.Okay, what is this bitch trying to bring out right now, huh.“But I'm not a spy t
Kiara POV The game finally began and oh my was I the one being utterly shocked.I thought the first match was intense, but this is crazy, how exactly are they all able to move like this.And just when did Mickey become so flexible to the extent of dodging those secret bullets like that.I mean, what kind of training exactly did those two do!!“Oh you seem surprised by them too huh,” Nola said as she let out a smirk of confidence.“Hmm, just what did you do with those two, huh?” I asked.“Well, who knows,” she replied as she chuckled.“ I'm not going to beg you to tell me, I could just wait for them to be back, or you could just do the normal thing and tell me now,” I said.“And just when have I ever done the normal thing huh, Kiara,” she responded as she stared right at me.This annoying bitch, she really won't tell me huh, just spill it out already jeez.“Okay, I guess since I'm in a good mood, might as well tell you,” she said.“Okay, so what was it?” I asked.“Nothing,” she replie
Kiara POV The first set of the game finished with the blades winning and the Grey's qualifying, and oh my Daniel Grey seriously looked beat as hell.It was really a pleasant sight to see. I have to admit, I honestly wished he died instead of the baldie guy.And Nola singing and laughing so happily at the site of everything.I still couldn't believe what I had just witnessed, and I can't believe they all stood there and just enjoyed the show But what was I expecting huh, every one of them here are dangerous mafia groups that have committed various murders, my family, the blades included.A break commenced and then everyone got talking, we already decided that Mickey and Daniel would start in the first match and then Nola and I would go for the second one.I soon after left their side and then decided to walk around, and at every turn all I could hear was about the beautiful artwork they had just seen.I decided to go see how my sister was feeling after the match because I definitely
Kiara POV It didn't take quite long, we got to the site for the game, it was still held inside the old family estate but at the end of it in a very beautiful-looking garden.We walked into it and ohh my it was stunning and just looked ethereal.I'm just curious though, why exactly is every single flower painted pure white, it's gorgeous but still, why white?“So just curious guys, why exactly are all the flowers white?” I asked.“Why do you ask, you have a problem with white flowers?” Mickey asked in a teasing tone.“No I don't, I am just curious, that's all,” I responded.“Well you see Kiara, the white flowers are for the art we will soon be entertained with,” she responded with a smile that seemed dangerous.“ I thought this was just a game, though, so we are also seeing some artwork, huh.”She suddenly laughed out loud as she then stared at me, her eyes blazing as she spoke.“Yeah sure Kiara, we are going to see some astonishing beautiful artwork today, ahh I am so excited honestl
