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 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 “Knock!, knock,”“Who is it?” I asked as I got up from my bed.“I'm one of the maid ma, I am here to tell you that dinner is already served,” a voice from outside responded.“Okay, I will be on my way down soon,” I said, and then I heard her footsteps leaving.I really have not gotten the time to meet the maids in the house, but I will do so soon, it is just that this place is too huge, even taking a walk around is literally an exercise.I soon made my way downstairs to take my dinner.Xander should be on his way back by now, since I already got a message that they had captured Jack.I got down and there Daniel was already eating. “You do know it's courtesy to wait for the other person before you start eating, ” I said as I took my seat.“And a good evening to you, Kiara,” he said as he got up and came towards me.“And why are you coming towards me huh Daniel,” I said with a look of annoyance.“ Well to wait for your highness to finish eating before I start since it seems
KIARA POVA faceless man! I can't believe they actually removed his face, the Darkwood are known for how brutal they can be, but this is really extreme. “Xander, that man does not have a face anymore," I uttered. “Yeah , he was kind of very annoying and stubborn, so we had to deal with him a little," he said with a smile. A little, he calls this a little, I almost died because of his stupid attack, and he definitely deserves worse than this, but he just got here, and he already does not have a face.It is a little funny seeing him this way though and the jack I know would have been shouting but here he is looking so quiet.“Kiara is that you?” Jack said as he opened his eyes.“Yes it's me.”“Please help me,” he begged with his voice sounding like a beat down truck.“Help you?!, you bastard literally almost had me killed, and now you want my help.”“ The attack wasn't meant for you Kiara, it was for the man who forced you to get married to him.” “ I don't care who the attack was f
KIARA POV A few weeks had passed now and the Darkwood final exam and the party preparation were still ongoing.It's still early in the morning, but I'm already on my way to the main house.I know I'm really working hard for this but compared to Xander, it's like a joke, I mean that man literally made breakfast and was already in the main house even before I woke up.I still have numerous things to arrange and prepare for, but I really have not been able to talk to Xander a lot either nowadays.Not that I miss him or anything, and he seems very busy with the test preparation too.I finally got to the main house and I met with Daniel.“So the performances have finally been booked and the catering service too but the owners of the garden we decided to use still don't want to give it out, but they accepted to meet with us tomorrow,” he said.“Jeez, it has been 3 weeks now, and they still don't want to let us use it, it's not like we won't pay for the damn space, so why on earth won't th
KIARA POV A few days passed, the preparation for the event had finally begun and it was really a lot. And finally, it's the weekend, Xander is not around since he has some business to handle, I don't have to leave the house and I can rest all I want.The weird dreams keep coming, and honestly, it is just so tiring cause, no matter how much I try to see who is calling me, it all gets blurred up.I got up from my bed and went to take my bath, got dressed and then as I was about to make my way down for breakfast my phone rang.It was my elder sister Diane.“Hey little sis,” she said as I answered the call.“Hey Diane, how are you ?”“I'm perfectly fine, and also I got the information on the Eric guy and ohh my is he an interesting man huh.”“And what did you find out about him?” I asked curiously.“Well just that he's not really hiding his wife and child, it's more like they are hiding him or should I say are trying to get rid of him.”“What?, what do you mean by that Diane?”“Well Eri
KIARA POV It didn't take quite long, we got to the main house and then headed inside, finally got to the main room office.We both entered and the look on the elders' faces was very intriguing I should say.“Good morning everyone, so as you all know my wife, Kiara will be the one handling the affair of the party, so I just came to drop her off, so bye now,” Xander said and immediately left the room.Did he just leave like that, I knew he wasn't going to be here with me but he practically just disappeared now, I can't believe that man.I turned around, and they all looked like children whose role had been stolen from them in a show, which was quite pleasing to see honestly.“Well good day everyone, so I am definitely pleased to be here today, that I can assure you and in the affairs of the party I already read your plans on my way here, but I would like there to be a mixture of both families traditions,”Before I could continue speaking, I was interrupted by Abe.“My lady, we don't th
Kiara POVFinally, I'm back home, I made my way upstairs, taken my bath and then relaxed a little. Xander seemed to still be settling some issues about the Darkwood with Lilly downstairs.I wanted to hear what they were talking about, but I honestly needed to bathe and relax.Hmm, the Darkwood main house is massive huh and the 12 elders of Darkwood are really problems and the biggest would be Eric Darkwood.Lilly told me more about him, apparently he's an old man who likes to live in secrecy, he's married with kids but no one has even seen his family in years, he definitely hid his weakness well.I need to find out where exactly they are and there are only two people who can help me with this, the first is Xander, but there is no way I'm asking him for help and the second would be my elder sister Diane.I honestly don't like asking her for favors in particular, but I just have to this time, I made the call, and she actually picked.“Hey Diane, how are you?” I asked.“I'm good, so what
Xander POVHmm, Kiara, really seemed bothered after Eric spoke to her, I hope that old bastard didn't say anything stupid.And I know if I ask her, she would definitely not tell me.“Hmm Xander sir, can you hear me?” of the elders said.“I can hear you, you may continue,” I stated.He continued his speech about, honestly I don't even know, it's a really weird speech.Hmm, this meeting is honestly taking too much time. Can they just get to the main point already?“Okay that's it, enough speeches, Abe why exactly are we here today,” I said.“Well, leader, the deal we were supposed to secure with the sharmans..”“Yeah what happened?” I asked.“Well, we have lost it to the bears,” he responded.“Seriously the bears, how exactly did we lose such deal to the bears!!,” I voiced out in a stern voice.The whole room went silent, then Eric spoke.“Well, it seems like someone let out the news that we had problems with the sharmans and then the blades and bears have been trying to get the deal ev
KIARA POVWe left the room and then started walking.“You did a great job little princess,” Xander said.“ Really??”“ Yeah the elders are constantly trying to put people down and you my little princess didn't allow that, so don't think too much about it that how they always are, it doesn't mean much.”Well, I can't be too sure about that, they definitely want me gone, their eyes passed that message clearly.And Eric Darkwood,does he have a hand in the assassination attack? And how dare he boldly threaten me.I thought it was just Jack being stupid, but it seems like there are other higher figures behind this.I really need to be careful now because I don't know who else is after my life.Xander pulled me close to him, it seemed like he noticed I was in a deep thought.“Little princess, don't think too much about it, okay, I'm here, and I will protect you,” he said.“Hmm thank you.”Thank you, Xander, but there is no way I'm trusting anyone with my life, I need to find more about the
KIARA POV Eric Darkwood Huh, for an elder, he is very short. “Nice to meet you, too, Elder Eric,” I stated. "Ohh, no need to put elder, my dear; you can just call me Eric; you are the wife to our leader, so we are of course under you, he said still with the cunning smile on his face. Xander came close to me and whispered into my ears, “Yeah, definitely do not trust this one; he only does what benefits him, and if that means putting you to the ground, he will.” Really, huh? I'm not surprised, but are the elders that brutal? “Now don't just stand there, little princess; let's head inside and remember, never look weak in front of the elders no matter what,Xander said as he then held my hands and we all walked inside. And there it was again—that feeling of deja vu. For some weird reason, I just feel like I have definitely been here before, but I'm pretty sure this is my first time entering the Darkwood main house. As we headed inside, we were greeted by a lot of unfamiliar faces;
KIARA POV“Kiara, Kiara run you have to survive Kiara!!!” a strange woman said as she pushed me away from the fire burning.The voice pierced through my dream, shattering my subconscious and then I woke up.Ahh! not this dream again, I thought it had stopped for good since I didn't get any after the wedding, why is it back again argh!! My head hurts because of it.I looked around, and I realised Xander wasn't on the bed with me and also my body hurts but not so much this time.And the dream for the first time was much clearer and I heard more than just my name this time, I wonder why though and who is that woman calling my name.“Hmm, Kiara, all this thinking won't help anything right now,” I said to myself.I got up from my bed and went to take my bath, dressed up and then made my way downstairs. There I saw Xander cooking. He must really like cooking, huh, and that he intends to do this every time? We have maids so he doesn't need to but oh well if he enjoys it who am I to say no.
