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 “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
