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 the keys down to me and then went to package my luggage. Why does he think I would even change my reply huh. I walked down towards the front door of the villa leaving him to carry the luggage since they were not that much. As I opened the door I was utterly astonished at how beautiful the place was. The house was painted royal blue with touches of gold, it had well furnished chairs and the tiles must have honestly cost a fortune. I walked forward and went around the house, it had two large pools,one on the inside and one outside,like just why would a house need two large pools as if one is not enough. I get that he is the leader of Darkwood but is he not just wasting money carelessly at this point. The house was truly beautiful though that I can't deny. Xander finally brought all the luggage into the house. “So what do you think now, little princess?” Carrying off my feet and walking up the stairs. “Drop me down Xander." I struggle to get down, but this man is seriously strong. “Okay it is beautiful but don't you think you did a little too much Xander, it's just for the honeymoon it's not like this is the house we will be leaving in from now on,” I said as I accepted to be in his arms. “No, I don't think it's too much, little princess." He let out a soft laugh. He really looked handsome while he smiled. I much preferred it to his annoying smirk, he was handsome either way but that smirk just pisses me off for no reason. We got to where the room was and to my surprise it was only one room, like come on they had the money to build two huge pools but could not build an extra room. I was pretty sure this man totally planned it. I looked at him suspiciously and smirked and avoided my stare. Yeah he definitely planned this, this man definitely knows what he's doing. “Xander, why is there only one bedroom in this house huh,” I asked. “Don't tell me you were expecting two now my dear, we are married now so why exactly would we need two rooms huh?” He dropped me down and then opened the room door and oh my was the room large, bed was so big andI still wonder why it was one large room. “Just so you know even after this honeymoon I don't plan on staying in a different room from my dear wife.” If only he knew the main reason why I got married to him, he definitely wouldn't be saying all these to me, ohh well staying in the same room makes my job easier. “Just get yourself relaxed and then come downstairs." He said as he left and closed the doors. Immediately I sat on the bed and just layed there for a while, then I heard my phone ringing, checked who it was and saw it was Sophie. “Hey Kiara, have you gotten to your destination yet?” She asked immediately as I picked the call. “Yes I have Sophie, but should you not ask if I'm doing alright first huh?.” “I know you are perfectly fine dear, I actually just wanted to tell you I left my wedding gift for you in the small pink luggage, it should definitely help you tonight,” she sneakily uttered. “Sophie, what did you do?” “Nothing honestly you will love it , well goodnight then, hope you enjoy your first night with your husband.” She laughed and then cut the call. “Honestly, what did she put in the pink box?” I thought to myself as I walked towards it and then opened it up. Omg it was two different pairs of lingerie,a red one and a black one.I can't believe this girl, why would she even give this as a wedding gift? “Sophie you are something," I laughed. I then closed the box back and went to have my bath. After the bath I decided to wear the red lingerie and tie a robe to cover myself and made my way downstairs. And to my surprise Xander had just finished cooking and was serving the food and ohh my did he make the serving of food look so hot. “I didn't know you could cook.” Sitting down in the dining seat I voiced. “Well you don't know much about me, little princess,” he replied as he also took his seat directly beside me. “Thank you for the meal,”I said and then I began eating. “So little princess what do you do for fun?" he asked as he began eating too. “Nothing much really but I do love swimming and skydiving a lot and what about you?” I continued eating my food as I asked. “I love playing the piano, swimming and.." he drew closer and then licked the stain of food off the side of my lips. “And ofcourse looking at my gorgeous wife.” He smiled softly. I couldn't help but blush, so I just faced my food,he didn't move from that spot and just kept watching me till I was done. I finished my meal and was about to get up and then he suddenly dragged me to his chair and carried me up on his lap. “Now where do you think you're going huh?I patiently waited for you to be done with your meal ,so it's time for mine,” He whispered down my ears, gliding his hands up my legs.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“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.
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
