KIARA POV
Finally, 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 necklace and it complimented my eyes perfectly well. Sophie then clasped the earrings. “Now you are ready my love.” “Thank you Sophie for everything,” I said while letting out a soft laugh. “Anything for you sis, I will seriously miss you Kiara don't forget to call me, okay?” she whispered as she hugged me. “I won't Sophie." I hugged her back. “Okay, that's enough with the emotional stuff for now , it's you and your husband to have a special day, so I can't keep u all to myself,” she said as she held my hands and brought me to the entrance of the hall. As I stand before the door leading to the hall and the altar, various thoughts rush into my heads. Will I be able to successfully succeed in this mission? I wonder what the man I'm going to marry will treat me like. I just hope he's not an annoying person. The doors of the hall opened and there I saw my father with his hands stretched out to hold mine,as I held him the music began to play and we slowly began to walk towards the altar. I saw lots of familiar and unfamiliar faces as I walked,my fellow Blades and the Darkwood Society members, as we kept on walking my father whispered into my ears. “Never forget your mission Kiara, don't be distracted by that man you will call husband soon, always remember where your loyalty is, now smile dear they are looking at you.” I smiled as though it were sweet words he told me and we continued down the aisle and then we got to the altar. And again I was stunned at how Xander, my soon to be husband, was looking so dashing with his slick black hair, dark blue suit and emerald brooch that complimented his eyes perfectly. He once again noticed my stunned face and then smirked quickly bringing me back to reality. My father left my side and then the priest began reciting the sacred text and then the main question was asked. “Do you, Kiara Blade, daughter of Leo Blade, take this man Xander as your lawfully wedded husband?" Brief silence occurred then I answered. “Yes I do." Then he asked Xander. "Do you Xander Darkwood, leader of the Darkwood society, take this woman Kiara as your lawfully wedded wife?” “Yes I definitely do,” he answered with that annoying smirk on his face. “I now proclaim you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride.” Xander grabbed me , brushing his mouth against mine, sinking his lips into mine, guiding my lips to move with his. As he slid his hands down my waist our kiss deepened and I was drowning in his mouth, it felt as though he had longed for this kiss. As he separated his lips from mine,he bit me at the tip of my mouth and whispered softly. “Finally you're mine now, little princess.” I was breathless as he still held my waist, we both faced the crowd and I let out a soft smile and we both walked down the aisle with people cheering and throwing flowers at us. The wedding party continued, and my new husband and I had to greet some leaders before making our way back to his place. “Do take care of my daughter Xander,” my father said as he approached us. “Of course I will, sir, she is now my wife,” he replied with a grin on his face. Knowing my father, I noticed how he was irritated by Xander's response to him, but he quickly brushed it off his face and then faced me. “Kiara, be a good wife to him, okay?” “I will father,” I answered with a fake smile. He hugged me and then left our side, we continued making our way to other people to greet and before I noticed the wedding came to an end. I said my final goodbyes to my Dad and elder sister, Sophie. Sophie cried slowly as she hugged me. “I will miss you alot Kiara, just be happy okay." “I will miss you too Sophie and I will definitely be happy,” I said while hugging her back. I left her and walked towards a black car, where Xander stood by holding the door opened for me. “Are you sure you have said your goodbyes completely little princess?” “Yes I'm sure and don't call me little princess.”I scoffed as I entered the car. As we left the site, I looked back seeing my sister still crying, I will really miss her. There was total silence as Xander drove. Afew minutes in to drive I noticed the one of the Darkwood society main building, finally we had arrived or so I thought. He drove past there to my surprise and I quickly asked. “Are we not supposed to stop here Xander?” “ Of course not little princess,you don't think we would have our honeymoon in a place like that now dear.” “So where are we going then?” I asked curiously. He looked at me and smiled, “Somewhere where it's just going to be the two of us,little princess."Kiara POV I finally got to my father's office and was welcomed right in with drinks on the table.“Good morning, Dad, you seem to be doing great this morning,” I said as I walked towards him for a hug.I knew my father well and with that smile on his face, I could definitely say only one thing presently could make him smile so much.And that of course is no other than the successful killing of that old bastard Mr Grey.He happily accepted my hug as he let out a hefty laugh that screamed joy in my ears. Well, I guess I was right, he really is happy, I wonder why, though.“Well you look lovely today dear, just curious though what inspired this red dress?”“Nothing really, I just thought red would be a nice way to start the new year, you see.”He slowly let go as he then smiled and went back to his seat,“ well, it looks perfect in you, dear.”Well, this is nice, father complimenting and being this sweet to me, which is usually rare.He is never the type to openly show affection to us, b
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
