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 “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
Kiara POV What! Why is she asking this now of all times?Her eyes staring right into my soul as I stood there frozen at the words she had just asked.She had asked this question many times but this time, it felt different she really wasn't joking this time, and I'm sure she already knew the answer too.How exactly was I to answer such question, how could I tell my sister I had fallen in love with a man who is our family enemy, a man who was the cause of countless problems for the blades.A man I'm meant to hate with my body and soul.“Hmm, I guess your silence answers my question little sister, well then I will take my leave now” she said with a smile as she then turned her back as was about to walk off.My hands instantly grabbing hers and I held her back.“And just why are you holding me, Kiara?” she asked as she turned back to me and I still stood there frozen.My eyes right on hers pleading at that moment as I was too scared to speak.I can't imagine what would happen if she told
Kiara POV “Miss Nola, what exactly is the meaning of this?” the butler asked in a stern and cold tone, his eyes still fixed on Nola.“Well I'm sure you are not blind right?” she asked as she let out a laugh.The tension in the room grew even more dark as everyone sat in silence as we all wondered what exactly had Nola shown the butler to make him so furious.“So is this enough to buy our way in the bidding now huh Mr. Butler?” Nola asked, her eyes staring right at his as she smirked with so much joy.I could see the butler as he swallowed his saliva right at that moment, his eyes still filled with anger as he responded,“Sure why not Miss Nola, the Dark wood has gotten in, and the bears unfortunately are out.”“Well then it is settled, yay,” Nola said as she closed the suitcase as was right about to carry it back with her and the butler suddenly held her hands.“Miss Nola, I'm sure you know the deal right ?” he asked with his eyes closed as he let out a mischievous smile. As it then s
Kiara POV Each team gathered around to talk to each other for the 5-minute break we had before the game began. “So what number did you get ?” Nola asked as we all gathered.“Four,” I responded.“Okay then what about you two, huh?” she asked as she faced both Daniel and mickey.They both replied and Daniel had 10 while Mickey had 7, Nola surprisingly got 1.“So nobody still knows which card game we are to play, huh?” Mickey asked.“Yeah nobody knows, also there will be 5 rounds we need to at least win 2,so please tell me you all are actually good at card games ?” Nola asked.I seriously just hope it's not the bridge card game, that's just the worst card game I have ever experienced, and I always tend to lose no matter what.And yeah, I'm definitely not telling her that I'm bad at the bridge card game, and there is only like 5 percent chance that it might be the game we play.So it's better I don't mention it and jinx myself.“Yeah we are good,” Daniel responded, and then the buzz sou
Kiara POV Finally, after 2 good hours, I had the rest I needed and this time no weird dreams.I got up to check the time and still had 2 extra hours before whatever bidding game they wanted to do.Seeing I still had lots of time left, I decided to read the rules of the bidding game Nola sent.I still don't comprehend why they chose to do this game when we have the actual bidding tomorrow.And I just feel they would definitely come up with a stupid name from this game again.I started reading the rules, and they were pretty normal, I think.So first the game would take place with us all seated at a huge table and there are numbers on the seats to this table which we all have to pick from a black box.The leader of each team is to bring a black suitcase, and they will be informed of what to bring inside it.After picking, we all are to get seated and already have a game plan and then the game will proceed.Are these people kidding me right now!How the hell are we to have a game plan w
Kiara POV “Kiara! Run Kiara, Never trust a _ “Never trust a what?” I voiced out as I suddenly woke up from the dream, My head aching badly as I checked the time to see it was just 8am in the morning. I seriously need to find a way to fully get rid of these annoying dreams that just can't seem to leave me alone. I sat up, my hands on my head as I slowly massaged my forehead, trying to reduce the pain I felt right at that moment. And then the phone suddenly ranged. “And just who the hell would decide to call me this early, huh,” I muttered angrily as I stretched a little to pick up my from the table on my right. Oh, please let it not be someone I detest, I really do not need any more bad energy this early morning. And I seriously could not believe it was Diane, what I had pleaded not to happen came to pass, just why the hell is this lady calling me so early. “And just why are you calling ?” I instantly asked as I picked the call. “You do know greeting first is the pr
Kiara POV Oh, well, I guess that's the end of Mr. Matteo Suits huh, he does deserve the death, though.“Well then Kiara, shall we go see everybody now,” Nola said as she smiled brightly.“Yeah I guess but what about the body ?” I asked.“Ohh that, don't worry about it, it's not like anyone actually cares anyway, and honestly, I'm literally doing everyone a favour,” she responded as she then closed the lid back, covering Matteo's dead body.And then we made our way back to the garden field where everyone else was, and we walked up to Daniel and Mickey.“And just where have you ladies been,”; Daniel asked as he smiled, and then I suddenly remembered his confession.Kiara, get that thought out of your head right now and focus okay.“We have just been having some girl bonding time, right Nola ?” I asked as I faced Nola with a smile.“Yeah, no we were definitely not doing that, now bye ,” she said as walked off.Oh that bitch, I can't believe for a second I thought we might have been cool
