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 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 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
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. But well, this “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 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
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 I slept for a while until a knock woke me up.“Yeah, who is it?” I asked as I yawned.“Your special butler, your highness.”I could already tell it was Daniel, seeing he still won't stop with his sarcastic jokes.“And what is the matter?” I asked.“You do know it's pretty late already right, and we are going to have dinner with everyone in about an hour right?”Ohh shit, I can't believe I actually slept off so peacefully.“I get it, I'm coming okay,” I responded as I instantly got up.“Okay, your highness,” he said sarcastically.I immediately went to take my bath and then got dressed. I decided to wear a dark emerald gown and then packed little piece my red hair with a golden pin and then let the rest flow down.So glad I always listened when Sophie talks about hair stuff, now it's come in handy “Thank you, big sis,” I muttered softly as I held my hands together.I did my final touches, and finally, I was ready, and I heard a knock once again.“So your highness, you are
Kiara POV I rested for a little while, and then I heard a knock.“Who is it?” I asked, as I said on my bed.“It's your butler, your royal highness, I'm here to deliver your royal tea,” Daniel responded in a sarcastic tone.I'm pretty sure he feels so funny right now, huh.I got up from the bed and then walked towards the door to open it and he stood there with the tea on a tray he held.“May I come in, your highness?” he asked with a smirk on his face.“Well you may come in I guess,” I responded.“I do hope you enjoy your tea then your highness,” he said.“Okay that's enough with the sarcastic talk, one more and I might just kill you,” I threatened.“Sure thing, boss,” he responded as he smiled with his hand in the air as a sign of compliance.“So Kiara, your hand, it is much better now, right?” he inquired. “Of course it's totally fine, I'm not weak you know,” I responded, raising my arms up to show him I was fully healed. “Hmm well then, I'm glad and truly relieved,” he said as
Kiara POV “Oh, please tell this is a joke Kiara?” Nola asked, her eyes raging with anger.“Hmm, well, seems you all are busy right now, so I will excuse myself, see you all later then,” Daniel said as he smirked and then walked off with his men behind him.Ohh I can't believe this bastard, why did he have to talk right now and Nola is really not in a good mood, and I would rather not deal with this crazy bitch on my first day here.“Well, seems like your little secret is out now, good luck then, Kiara,” Mickey whispered into my ears and then walked inside our house.We all got inside and then the talk started.“Ohh so care to explain your relationship with the future head of the Grey's Kiara?” Nola said, her eyes still blazing with anger.“Okay jeez, he's my ex and so what ?” I responded.“So what! Are you kidding me, your ex if Daniel Grey, do you know how messed up that person is?” she voiced out in anger as she asked.“Yeah I do, 98 kills, been in prison 34 times, 134 assault case
Kiara POV We all got down from the plane and then walked towards where our ride was and then got seat, and we all drove off.The place was an island called Star island in London, since it was shaped like a star and is separated from the main city, and its houses are mainly owned by governments, Top Mafias and London olds families.“Well then guys, we should be getting there in about thirty minutes,” Nora said as she then faced her phone and so did everyone.I decided to watch a little video online and more than an hour had passed, I noticed we still hadn't stopped and so did the other's.“Hey everyone, I'm pretty sure thirty minutes have passed right now, so why haven't we stopped,” Daniel whispered quietly so as not to alarm the driver.Nora instantly looked at the windows and then said,“ Ohh shit, guys jump out of the car right now!”We all immediately jumped out of the car at her call and then BOOM!The car exploded.“Are you fucking kidding me? Did they just try to kill us in a c
Kiara POV “The plan is to do nothing Mickey,” I said with a smirk.“What?”“You heard me right, do nothing, with the way things are going, I'm very sure we won't be able to bid for the land, ” I responded.“And why is that Kiara?” he inquired curiously.“Well let's just say, with everything going on here, I'm pretty sure the old family definitely will do anything not to leave the lands in the Darkwood hands, so we can just sit and enjoy the whole show, ” I replied with a smile.“Hmm well that is true but are you sure this is not you just having second thoughts ?” he asked, staring right at my eyes trying to pry the truth from me.I must admit, I really don't want to be the cause of Xander not getting this land, but I also don't want to fail my father, so it's better I just sit back and do nothing.But I don't need Mickey knowing that, he is my father's man, I can't trust he will keep my secrets.“ I'm not having second thoughts Mickey, I know my duty and I intend to fulfil them, but
