Chapter 3

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 morning.

Also I didn't get why I still kept thinking about that man with piercing eyes. I seriously hated the way he made me feel weak just with a smirk and the way he whispered into my ears..

“Ahh!,Kiara, get your mind straight." Tapping my cheeks.

I quickly had my bath and left to train. As I walked through the halls headed towards the training grounds, I began to hear sounds of clashing blades and even gunshots,which was surprising because no one normally trains this early here.

As I opened the door, I realised it was my father and one of his underlings.

“Father good morning." I greeted as I walked towards him.

“Good morning Kiara, what brought you here so early?" He asked with a suspicious look, “I know you mostly train midday.

“I just wanted to train and clear my head sir.”

“Hmm, just make sure you are focused and not distracted during this period, you know I don't take mistakes lightly,” he said with a stern face.

" Yes I know, Father.”

“Also since you are here now, you should know the wedding has been set to this Sunday, already told your sisters so they will help you get prepared.” he voiced with a soft tone.

“Okay Father." With my face facing down I muttered.

“Remember Kiara, this is an important mission, even your immediate elder sister does not know about this, only Diane, your eldest sister, is informed. We need more secret information on the Darkwood Society so we can finally no longer be oppressed by them,” he spoke as he drew closer to me and raised my head.

“Do not fail me Kiara," he pronounced as he and his subordinates left the training grounds.

“I won't father."

I know Father is trusting me on this mission, I must not fail him.

I then began my training and it really helped clear my head. After an hour of training I went to take a short bath and then headed to the dining room.

“Hey Kiara, I have been waiting more than an hour for you, quick come sit we have lots to talk about.” Sofie uttered as she dragged me from the door to sit at her side of the table.

“Ohh, is it about the wedding?” I asked.

“Well yes but first tell me about the Xander guy. I heard from my friends that he is a man with beautiful emerald eyes, a very handsome face and a tall muscular body. Also I heard that multiple women try to get to him but none has ever succeeded,so is all that true Kiara?”

“Well, yes he is handsome but your friends are exaggerating a bit too much Sophie.”

"Okay then tell me about him," she asked with her eyes full of curiosity.

“Hmm as I said before he is handsome and yes he does have a tall muscular body, but his eyes are definitely more deadly than beautiful my dear. Those eyes seem as if they are piercing through ur soul and reaping them out.”

“Wow really?, well he still sounds hot to me Kiara.”

“You don't get it” I sighed with a chuckle as I responded.

Sophie exclaimed, “Nope, I'm just excited about the wedding.”

“Yeah ,so about the wedding, you already know my size for both dress and shoes so just pick anything okay, I don't really care, as long as it's white I'm good.”

“ You know I'm not gonna listen to you right? It's your wedding, so of course I'm definitely gonna pick the most breathtaking dress for you Kiara.” She said with a huge smile on her face.

“And also big sister Diane said she won't be around for the wedding since she is still handling some business but she will pick and send you the jewellery for your wedding.”

“Ohh right she is still not done with the trade business huh?” I uttered.

”Yes, but she said she should be done by next week though.” Sophie replied as drew her food closer to her to eat.

We had breakfast and then both went separate ways. Sophie decided to go see Dad about some stuff for the wedding and I decided to go back to my room to rest.

In my room, I kept on thinking about my conversation with Sophie. I wonder why a man like him who multiple beauty have offered themselves to but he rejected would easily accept me to be his bride. I just hope he has not discovered that all this is a plan.

Because his eyes seemed like though he could see through me, but honestly he is a very handsome man. I'm still stunned as to how many can be so good looking, tall and so muscular, his whole body is just perfection in itself, can't believe such a man is to be my husband soon.

“Kiara you are thinking about him too much again”I muttered to myself.

Okay it has been a long morning let me just sleep it off.
