Kiara POV The drive didn't take too long, seeing as the road was free, and after a few minutes of me driving I got right to the blade's house.I do hope father is around though, I hadn't made any calls that I would be coming today, but I need to take this chance now.Pretty sure, it would certainly be difficult to reach him again like this if I don't do it today.I got right down and made my way right to the main door where the head butler, Mr Scott, who I haven't actually seen since my marriage ceremony, seemed to have already been waiting.Hmm, it really has been quite a while I had seen him, I guess he must have been busy with a work father gave him.Seeing that his back now, I guess he must have succeeded, or else he would have been dead already.Well, it is good to see him though, and I did miss the way he talked that old London English of his that I always matched up with.He took a slight bow at me with a smile,“ welcome Mrs. Kiara,” he said as he slowly opened the doors.“ An
Kiara POV “Hey, Mrs Darkwood!” a voice echoed from behind as I walked out of the main hall.And from the sound, I could tell exactly who it was, only one person would actually call me in such a sarcastic way and still have that stupid laugh in her tone.I really don't want to have to deal with her right now, and silver is certainly already waiting for me right out the gate, but if I don't stop now, I'm sure this lady won't stop.I stopped my steps and turned right back and yeah, it was who I guessed, Nola, “Just what exactly do you want now Nola? Aren't you glad you won't have to see me for a while anymore?”She gave that very dangerous smirk of hers as she walked right up to me, suddenly holding my two hands, her voice suddenly sounding sweet,“ of course not, you know I would actually miss you right ?”Her smirk slowly turned into a smile that made me even more cautious as her grip on my hands tightened,“ sure you would,” I responded with a smile, but my tone was purely sarcastic.
Kiara POV The car ride this time definitely felt slower and even more chocked, as I didn't spare a glance at him and I doubt he did either, the silence in the car echoing loudly as the morning breeze blew over.And for the first time ever I noticed just how long and far the main house really was as time seemed to go by and still no stop at destination. I guess I was always chatting, laughing or teasing him most times during our rides, so I never noticed this before. I let out a little sigh as honestly, I did miss that, but ohh well, I guess we both can't certainly go back to the way things were no matter what, not after all I have seen and heard now. We soon after reached the main house, got right down and both made our way right in.“And a good day to you both,” Lilly said, as she stood on the side with files in her hands, well, I guess Xander will certainly be busy today.Hopefully, he will be busy enough for me to be able to clear my schedules for today and meet with father as
Kiara POV “Run Kiara! Run!”“Kiara, you need to listen to me.”“Do not trust a—”“Run Kiara!”“Ahh!” I voiced out in pain as I jolted right up from the dream.Ohh shit, just what the hell did that picture do to me?I laid on my bed, weak as I slowly inhaled and exhaled, massaging my forehead as I to reduce the pain I felt.Thankfully it wasn't as bad as the one of last night, doesn't mean it was anyway better, but this one was bearable.I guess the pain relief drugs I took before I slept worked a little then.Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain right through my mind once more with the voice “Run!”“Just stop already !” I voiced out in anger.I seriously need to get rid of the dreams, like right now!My phone suddenly rang, I picked it up to check and turns out it was my alarm.Ohh right, I actually have stuff to attend to today, it is the day after the ball and officially a new year and the first day at that.I can't let some annoying dream and headache that refuse to get lost ruin my day
Xander POV I sat right in front of her, as her gaze focused right on me, with no hint of movement.I couldn't tell if she was still mad, pissed off, sad or just annoyed as her eyes were dead cold and blunt, leaving no room for reading.One thing is for sure, she certainly has raised her wall around me right back up again.I'm not surprised though, after everything she had just seen in those files, anyone certainly would have missed understood.This certainly wasn't the way I planned this to go. Now I just need to find a way to make her trust and believe in me once again.But knowing my wife, that certainly will be one hell of a challenge.“Kiara,” I called softly as I stared right at her, trying to see if there was still hope she could believe me right now.Her eyes still blunt with no single emotion, “Yes.”I slowly brought out the files she had seen before and dropped them right on the table, “Please tell me you will try to listen and understand to what I have to say.”“Well I'm he
Kiara POV “And a happy New Year to you, Sophie, you seem very bubbly right now,” I said as she released me right from the neck hug.“Well, of course I am, it is the start of a new year, so it's best to start it with joy, right?”Her words exposed in my mind, as I could only smile at her as I held the sadness that drowned me at that moment.There was no way I would tell her about what I had just discovered, I just can't spoil that joy of hers.And also, things certainly will get overly complicated if I tell her the whole truth, father certainly would hate that a lot.But I just feel so choked up right now, I really need someone to pour out myself too, and she would be the perfect person to listen to my tears, but I can't.I would rather not drag Sophie deeper into the really messy mafia world, it might just break her totally.“Hey Kiara, are you good?” she shook me a little, her voice bringing back from my dazed mind.“Yeah, I'm good,” I responded softly with a smile.“Hmm well okay t
