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 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 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
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 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 POVA few hours had passed, and I'm finally done with all the files that needed my signature and I had only one thing in my mind, Kiara.It's been so long. I had time with my wife, and now I'm here stuck with work and the next following week she would be out of my reach again.I, personally, would prefer if she just stayed here with me and let Nora settle the land deal, but the little princess I know would never accept that, especially after I tell her Nora will be responsible for the deal.She would definitely throw a fit if I asked her to stay, but I really would like to see her do that. It has been a long time since I pestered her.“Hmm we do have 5 days before she leaves, well then I guess it's time to go see my wife,” I said as I got up and made my way out of the office.“Xander are you leaving right now,” Lilly asked as she walked towards me.“ Yes, also good thing you are here, do make sure everything from today until next week is being handled properly since I'm putting
Kiara POV “Hey Sophie, I'm done speaking with Father,” I said as I walked towards her.“Ohh, hope it went well?” she inquired in a worrisome tone.If I tell her the truth she might practically start crying, so I rather not, I honestly just can't handle her tears.“Yeah, it went well, he wants that angry,” I responded as I smiled.“ That's great sis, so now it's finally time to her fun sister time,” she said as she held my arm and pulled me towards the exit of the house.“Okay but where exactly are we going Sophie,” I voiced out as she still pulled me and we ran.“Just trust and follow me okay, you will definitely love it,” she said as she smiled.Well, it has been long since I had fun and I genuinely missed my sister.“Okay, just stop rushing jeez,” I replied as I let out a little laugh, and then we made our way out of the Blade house.“So where exactly are we going Sophie, just tell me already,” I said as we both sat in the back of the car. “Well it's a surprise okay, just wait oka
Kiara POV “Good day, father,” Sophie said as the door closed behind us.“Good day to you Sophie, well then thank you for bringing your sister in, both you and Diane can excuse us now,” Father said.I honestly wished only would Diane leave and Sophie remained.Sophie gave me the good luck look and then made her way out, Diane, on the other hand, walked close to me and then whispered.“Good luck little sis, you really would need it this time,” she said as she let out a little mocking laugh and then walked out.As the door shut close, I could feel the tension in the room grow even more cold.“It's been long fathers, how have you been,” I asked trying to break the cold sir in the room.“ Is that really the first thing you say when you see me, you ask how I am?” he voiced out in anger.But shouldn't I ask how he was doing, I mean that's the right thing to ask first, he is my father, but he really is difficult to understand something.I'm pretty sure if I had start apologizing first, he wo
Kiara POVOkay, I take my words back, I definitely do mind, That man is a beast!As I tried to move my body, the scene from last night just kept coming back, I honestly can't believe that man did all those things to me. I'm even embarrassed to turn over to see if the man is still in bed with me, I honestly don't need to see that his smug face this morning after what he did to me.I'm just going to pretend as though I'm still asleep until he first leaves.“ Good morning little princess, I know you are awake, so just face me already,” Xander whispered softly into my ears as I tried to remain still.Jeez can't this man just let me fake my sleep in peace huh.I finally turned my back and for some reason his body looked more stunning than usual, seemed like he had been working out a little more.“Could you stop drooling over your husband body this morning huh, little princess,” he said as he carried me up, and I immediately realized that I had been staring.“ Can't a wife stare at her hus
Kiara POVIt's finally the day to leave Hawaii, no more nurses, doctors, the sickening smell of the hospital and most of all no more annoying chirping from the birds.But I am definitely more exhausted than excited honestly, it really has been a lot in Hawaii, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to face far worse when I settle back in London.I truly hope everything works out well at this point.I got up and got dressed, it's been a week now that I gained consciousness, I can move my arms far much better so getting dressed was not really an issue anymore.Heard a knock on the door and then asked,“who is it?”“Your amazing husband,” Xander responded, and I could just feel the smirk from the door already.“Yeah, okay, come in,” I replied as I sat.“Good Morning, little princess,” he said as he walked closer and then suddenly lifted me up.“Xander, put me down, jeez,” I voiced out.I still don't know where he finds the strength to easily lift me up, I know he's a Mafia lord but come on, he pra
Kiara POV A few days have passed now, and I'm finally able to move my arm a little and with far less pain than before.Xander also took the time to actually answer all my questions, technically during the past month that I had been asleep most of the snake gangs have already been captured by Mickey, seems like he really has been putting great effort into that, I honestly thought he was a bum most of the time but well I guess he has his uses.Also, my father was informed about the whole situation and knowing him, he must be furious and disappointed right now, I still can't believe I actually moved to save that idiot. And most of all I can't honestly believe a gunshot put me in a hospital bed for a entire month.My big sister Diane definitely must be laughing her head off about this entire thing, and Sophie must definitely be distressed.But I'm just glad I should be about to finally leave this hospital tomorrow and finally get back to London. I think I have enough Hawaii that I need
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
