Kiara POV What!!Why the hell is Diane standing right in front of me?, wasn't she on a mission before I left, just how and why?Various questions raced through my head as I stood frozen in front of her.“ Aren't you going to answer your elder sister, huh?” she said with a smile on her face.What? Does she really expect me to answer her right now.“Well,” she said, her eyes fixed on mine and I could feel the stares from everyone in the hall at that moment on us both.“Of Course I did, big sister,” I responded as I accepted her open hug, and then I tightened it.“Okay that's it Diane, what exactly are you playing at here huh, first you bring that crazy ex stalker, and now you come here, what is your plan?” I inquired as I whispered into her ears.“Nothing really Kiara, just a big sister trying to spend time with her younger one, now be a good little girl and smile, do not misbehave here, understand,” she responded as released herself from the hug and stared at me with a smile and then
Kiara POV The music started and then we danced.“So it's been 2 years now I think, you seem well Kiara,” he said with a smile.“Of Course I do, were you expecting something else?” I asked with a smile on my face.“Nope, I knew you would be fine, you are the famous Kiara Blade or should I say Kiara Darkwood, seeing as you are a married woman now,” he said.“Just Kiara would be fine Daniel, and just curious but why exactly are the Grey's here, you all have never been the type to be involved in land bidding,” I asked.“Well, Father wants a few lands and who are we to say no huh, also heard my favorite ex who got married without even informing me would be here too, so of course I accepted to come,” he responded, his smile becoming darker as his grip on my hands grew tight.“So why exactly didn't you invite me, Kiara?” he asked, his tone becoming cold.Does he really think he can scare me with his cold tone and grip, he really does think am his sorry ex of before, doesn't he.This should
Daniel POV What? Why is she asking this right now? Did Nola say something weird to her, I honestly can't believe she could do that. “Yes, I am,” I responded, staring right into her eyes as I tried to read her reaction. “Wait what?” she asked with a stunned face, trying to guess whether I was actually being serious at the moment. “Yes I did, I fell for you instantly from the moment I saw you walking out majestically from your room looking so beautiful your majesty,” I responded in a sarcastic tone. “Ohh wow, you are actually playing with me right now, I can't even believe I even asked you this question, it's all my sister's fault, she says odd stuff all the time,” she said as we both continued to dance. Ohh so it wasn't Nola but Diane, that's surprising, hmm. “I mean there is no way, you are actually in love with me right?” she asked, her eyes staring deep into mine. At that moment, the music stopped in my head and so did time, I wondered whether to really tell her my
Kiara POV “Please everyone, gather around,” A middle-aged man said as he came up to the stand with a bottle of wine in his left hand.I'm guessing he is a member of the old family, seeing as he is the one addressing us right now.“I would like to thank each one of you who could make it for this year's bidding fair, every expense will be covered by the old family as usual and also the week game and meet up will proceed as we always do every year,” he said.What game now, huh, isn't them already trying to kill each other enough fun.“ Well Kiara, it's still a game about killing, just this time less bloody and more, you might say,” Mickey whispered right into my ears.“There is nothing classy about killing, though,” I responded calmly as I already knew he was right behind me from his scent. “Well you trying telling that to these crazy people huh,” he said as he chuckled. Well, he has a point, regardless of what I say this messed up people will call killing a game, I mean am not agains
Kiara POV Instantly pulled Mickey closer and whispered into his ears,“are you crazy? Why the hell are you trying to cause a scene right now huh, you better stop this before Nola notices, we don't need her going all crazy here tonight.”Mickey suddenly chuckled,“Well of course not, I mean it is very uncivilized don't you think ?”“ Well, that is true,” Jax responded, and he took a sip of his wine.Oh, thank goodness, it seemed like the air had become less tense and hopefully Nola didn't notice anything.“ Well you all seem to be a fun bunch, you don't mind if I join right,” Nola said as she appeared right in front of us in a flash.Ohh no, I seriously do not need her to go crazy right now, unless it's with my sister, then she can go crazy at least I would enjoy that scene.“ It's been a while Nola, you seem well, I'm glad,” Jax said with a smile.“ Of course I'm well you bastard,” she responded, taking a glass from the table and drinking the wine whole.“Did you really think I would d
Kiara POV “Okay guys, come a little bit closer,” she said.And so we did, but seriously it was already getting a little uncomfortable, and also I think people were already starting to notice.And shouldn't we be talking about such precious information in our rooms.“Well guys, this is it, the game for tomorrow is_She stopped mid-sentence as her eyes stared right out at each one of us with seriousness, feeling us up more with curiosity about what it might be.And then after a few seconds of silence, she finally spoke,“It is something we definitely shouldn't be talking about here in the open, I seriously can't believe you all, did you really expect me to say something so important in this setting,” she said as she laughed.“And just why exactly did you get us all here and then make us so curious, huh?” I questioned with an annoyed tone.“Well because I can sweetheart,” she responded with a smirk on her face that I truly wanted to punch badly at that moment.“Now for the main reason I
Kiara POV “And how are you enjoying the party Mrs. Darkwood?” he asked.“Well it's truly been a ride, I must say, I didn't think it would be this interesting, should I say,” I replied as I then took a sip of my wine.“Well Mrs. Darkwood, I have to say, you truly are exquisitely beautiful, now I see why Xander married you, yeah,” he said, his eyes still staring at me in a very discomforting way, as he then let out a loud laugh.“Thank you, but I'm sure your wife is much more beautiful sir,” I responded as I let out a soft laugh trying to hide my irritated look.How dare this fool cover what is his, doesn't he fear Xander or what?“Oh sure she is, but you my dear are quite a beauty I have to say,” he said as he stepped closer to me as he tried to close the gap I had created before.“Well then, why don't we go somewhere more private,” he said softly with a seriously irritating look as he suddenly held my waist.I instantly stabbed him with a mini dagger I kept on my right side out of an
Kiara POV “Run Kiara! Run!!”Ahh, shit not this dream again, for a month I was free of it, and now it is suddenly back, and it just had to come with this seriously annoying headache too, huh.I thought to myself as I slowly massaged my head as I got up from my bed. I honestly can't be having this messed up dream right now.I already feel drained before the day even starts, and it's the day of the game, that I still have no idea about, but I'm definitely sure blood will be spilled. I walked straight into the bathroom, washed up my face, which looked so stressed, took my bath and got dressed soon after.“Okay Kiara, let's kill this,” said to myself as I faced the mirror with a smile and I walked towards my door.As I opened the door to leave, I instantly saw Daniel and just as he was about to speak, I panicked and instantly shut the door.Kiara why exactly did you just panic, ohh my, please just go away first Daniel I beg of you.I waited a few minutes, trying to listen, until I coul
Kiara POV “Yes father,” I responded, my head bent right back down instantly and I waited for his words.“You were to make sure the Darkwood don't get that land, leaving it to us to acquire, right?” he asked in a stern tone.“Yes that is right father,” it responded with my head still bent low.“And could you explain to me what happened,” he asked, sounding even more cold than his usual angry tone.I stared around, and could see Diane laughing, how dare this lady, I thought she had already kept her end of the deal, but it seems like she took me for a fool huh.“Well, Father,” I muttered slowly.“ Yeah it's okay, Diane already explained the whole situation to me, so I know the outcome was not on you to blame,” he stated as his time suddenly became softer.“Ohh really, she told you what happened, ?” I asked.“Yeah she did, technically she lost through a board game, and well, I'm not too surprised, she is extremely terrible at them.” he said as he chuckled a little.Ohh so she did keep he
Kiara POV “Don't worry Kiara, she will definitely always be with you, now run! Kiara Run!”“Just who I'm I running from!” I voiced out as I woke up.Ahh jeez, here I thought I was free from that weird dream after leaving star island.I massaged my forehead slowly as I stared around my room, hmm well it is nice to be back here, and I wonder where Xander is.Oh, right he did seem busy with this whole annual event preparation, not surprised his not here right now, not even sure he got back home yesterday, oh well, I'm pretty sure his fine wherever he is.At least he doesn't have an angry father to meet today, I just feel it's going to a very long day for me already.“Well then shall I start my Day,” I stated as I stood up and faced right to the mirror.“Well I guess that's the end of my one-day vacation huh, it was delightful while it lasted, now it's time to get back to work and also time to face my father,” I said to myself as I finally switched on my phone.And well, no surprise, I s
Xander POV I made my way straight to the main house as I drove, and then my phone rang. “Yeah, who is it?” I asked. “It's Silver, Sir,” she responded in a soft tone. “Ohh, silver, you guys got back quick, huh,” I said. “Yes sir, taking care of the rest going, really wasn't too much of a challenge, seeing most were already half dead anyway,” she responded. “So just to what do I owe this sudden call then?” I asked. “Well about the pictures and documents hidden at the old family estate you said I should try to check out for” she responded. “Yes, did you find anything?” I asked. “Yes, sir, I did,” she replied. Oh, my I can't believe it was actually there, now this is fascinating, just how exactly did that lady even know I was looking for this file, huh? And just how did she get it out of the blade house and into the old family house warehouse? But wait if it really is the pictures, then the last thing I need right now is an elder seeing it, but it is silver I doubt s
Kiara POV Ring! Ring!! The phone rang a second time, this time unfortunately catching Xander's attention.“Do you not intend to pick that call ?” Xander asked, as his eyes stared right at my phone.“Well_”“Well, won't you?” he asked again, this time in a more curious tone.Yeah, I'm definitely not picking this right now, I need at least a day free from drama, picking this call right now destroys every means of that happening.“Nah, it's not relevant anyway,” I responded, turning my phone right off.“Hmm really?” he asked with a smirk.“Yes really, now then shall we go inside,” I said as I quickly made my way into our house.And surprisingly, everything was still the same inside, and thank goodness for that, I cannot deal with another crazy change inside this already massive house, that I still barely know my way around.I made my way up the stairs as Xander was busy with the luggages.I decided to take a stroll around, I mean it really has been a while here, I need to be certain I
Kiara POV “Run! Kiara, run! Run Do not forget!!”“I shouldn't forget what!” I voiced out as I woke up from the dream staring right at Xander.“Hmm that weird dream again,” he asked in a concerning tone.“Yeah, it started again when I came to the island,” I responded as I slowly massaged my forehead.“So you want to tell me what exactly the dream is now,” he said.“Yeah it's about_I said as I suddenly stopped.Wait, was I just about to tell him about this dream, are you crazy Kiara?No matter what you feel, this man is still your family's greatest enemy, you just can't trust him.“ Well what is it?” he asked.“Nothing, it's nothing, just some odd dream I can't really explain,” I muttered as I laughed as I avoided his gaze.“Hmm okay then if you say so, but you know you can tell me anything right Kiara,” he said as he came close, his head on mine.I really wish I could tell you, but you are still a Darkwood and I just can't fully trust you yet Xander.“Sure I know,” I responded as I p
Kiara POV “You do know we just became enemies to the Grey's right” I asked, still his arms.“Well it was bound to happen any so why not make it much sooner,” he responded with a smile on his face.“You really do not fear anyone huh,” I stated as I smirked, staring right at him.“ I'm a Darkwood dear, we fear no one,” he stated in a firm tone.And then we finally left the old family estate, silver and the other elders were left to take care of the rest of the old family members that might have still been hidden.I guess they really don't want to leave anyone alive huh, ohh well those old family bastards did try to kill me twice so yeah they all deserve death.We got on the private plane and then finally left the star island.I seriously think they should rename this crazy Island, though.“So, my little princess, how was the mission and your stay at the old family estate,” Xander asked as he suddenly held me at my waist.“Are you really asking me this question?” I asked, staring right
Kiara POV “So you really did miss me, huh?” Xander asked as we finally stopped kissing.Did I miss him? Of course, I did, I missed this man so much that I still can't even believe I could miss a soul this much.But I'm never going to admit that.“No, I didn't,” I responded, avoiding his gaze as I smirked.“Oh really, then why did you rush right to my arms ?” he asked as he smirked.“ Well that's just because I saw your arms wide open, and I thought it would be sad to just leave you hanging in front of your people,” I responded.“Yeah, okay, let's just go with it,” he said as he let out a little laugh.“So a surprise attack on the old family, that's something,” I stated, staring right at him.“Yeah, they had it coming already, those old rats dared allow an attack on my wife on their watch and on her first day at that,” he replied.“Oh wait, don't tell me you are destroying the old family right now because of the attack from the black knights?” I asked.“Well isn't that more than enoug
Kiara POV The whole place went silent and frozen at that moment.The Grey's, the Blades and even us the Darkwood all stood there staring at the dead butler right in front of our faces.Did we just see a bullet go through Mr. Butler head, and just why exactly is Nola smiling so happily right now?What the hell is really happening right now!And just before I could react, I was pulled right down by Daniel and Mickey, as we hid at a table right at the edge of the stage and then gun shots went right across the room continuously“Nola, what the fuck is happening right now?” I voiced out, my hands covering my ears from the bullet's sounds.“Well pay back Kiara, so hope you all have your weapons on you right?” she asked.“Yes, we do,” we responded in unison.“Perfect, now do try not to die by the old family hands,” she stated.“And just why are we trying not to die?” I asked.“Well because from this moment we are attacking the old family Kiara, and we are officially their enemies, and they
Kiara POV “Run!!! Kiara Run !!!!, run!” the voiced echoed loudly in my dreams and I suddenly woke up.“Argh, seriously, not this annoying dream again,” I muttered as massaged my forehead slowly.And just here I thought I was free from these weird dreams after the whole Hawaii incident, but it doesn't seem to be the case.I truly wish I could go back to when the dream stopped appearing, and I was free from this morning, annoying headache.I somewhat do think it's because I came to this crazy Island, the dream decided to resurface again.I seriously can't wait to be out of here and be free from all the craziness.And in that sense, I am thrilled it is finally the day of bidding!!Which means after today I will be so out of here, free from this old family estate, their terrible games and very terrible taste in naming stuff.I might have woken up with an annoying headache, but I don't care right now, I'm just so glad I will be done after today.I got right up from my bed and then took my
