KIANA'S POV I woke up really early today, I couldn't really sleep. I was up most of the night, thinking about the great time I had with Pierce. I wanted to do something different and unusual for him, something he would appreciate but I never imagined that he would be so fun and sweet... To be honest, I can't remember the last time I had such an amazing time with a guy, in fact I don't think I have had this much fun with any guy.Pierce was so carefree, casual, fun and even very playful, I didn't think he had it in him. As a billionaire, I just assumed that he would be uptight and proud but he is the exact opposite, he is so selfless and very down to earth." Come on girl, give me all the details." Lucy said excitedly as I stepped out of the bathroom.Lucy was already fast asleep yesterday when I got back, so we haven't had the time to talk yet but it's obvious she's very curious with the way she's eagerly waiting for me to say something." Nothing happened." I teased." With that smi
KIANA'S POV " You need to be fast, Pierce will be here soon." Lucy pointed out immediately I stepped out of the bathroom after showering.I am running late and it's all thanks to Lucy, we just got back from the hotel supermarket to get the gift basket and a bottle of wine for Pierce and his sister but thanks to Lucy, the shopping took longer than necessary.I just wanted to pick up a gift basket but Lucy wanted to make sure we get the best and at the end, we ended up buying an empty box and we filled it up with things we think she will like... Lucy picked every item herself and now she's sitting in the middle of the bed, arranging every item in the box and if I am being honest, the box actually looks very nice and the items are actually thoughtful unlike the boxes in the supermarket that is just filled with irrelevant random items.Pierce texted me a while ago that he is on his way, so I need to move fast. I sat in front of the vanity after drying my body with the towel, I creamed my
ASHLEY'S POV Pierce doesn't know it but I have seen Kiana before today, although not up close but I was there when I asked some guys to burn down her filthy house... All day, I have been thinking of the best way to approach her. It's no secret that I hate her for trying to get married to Pierce when I am the only woman he is permitted to ever marry.I feel like making it known to her that I don't like her and I don't want her in Pierce's life but after speaking with Ken, I am beginning to agree with him that declaring myself publicly as her enemy is a bad idea... The last thing I want is for Pierce to be pissed at me, so I decided to pretend to like her and be nice to her, while I quietly figure out a way to get her out of my mans life.The worst enemy a person can have is the one that is faceless and hidden and that's exactly how I will win this battle, which is why I went all out with my cooking. I want to impress her with my welcome and I am sure Pierce will be very happy with tha
PIERCE'S POV I woke up early in the morning, preparing for work because I have meetings today but as I was getting ready, I couldn't help but remember the fun weekend I had. Honestly, it's the most fun weekend I have had in recent times, from the fun day at the beach to the dinner at home yesterday, it was all very perfect.Ashley on the other hand was well behaved, she even went over board with her meals and she was so nice and very receptive to Kiana which is unlike her. Usually, she doesn't like me coming home with my ladies and even when I do, she will refuse to cook for them but I guess Kiana is not my girlfriend, our relationship is simply contractual. Maybe that's why she likes her, although I can't deny that I am beginning to like Kiana, I know we are not dating but she's so different from other ladies.She's very nice, thoughtful, sweet and kind, she's just very unique and I like her but for now, I need to focus on the deal we have and when that is done, if there is room for
KIANA'S POV Weeks later... I woke up feeling very nervous and anxious. Pierce has been busy planning our engagement party with his event planner and I have no idea how it's going. It's my engagement too but it seems like it's a surprise for me because he completely put me in the dark and I have no idea what to expect.I feel like he is keeping me out of the loop because he knows that I am not in support of a big lavish engagement party... I mean it's not real and there is no need to waste money on something that is absolutely false.The way Pierce has been treating me since our date on the beach makes me wish so badly that he actually loves me and our relationship is not just contractual. He is so caring, kind, thoughtful and very attentive, I just wish he can miraculously make him my man and we can stop pretending." Honestly, you should have accepted the stylist he offered you, instead of insisting to get ready yourself." Lucy lamented." Well I have you and I don't need a stylist
ASHLEY'S POV " Girl, I can't believe that you still haven't found anything to use against that bitch." Ken said as I drove out of his parking lot.To be honest, I am so mad. I am so mad at myself, Kiana and even Pierce... I am mad at myself for not being able to dig up anything on Kiana, I am mad at Kiana for being so perfect and for intruding on the life I have with Pierce but I am mostly mad at Pierce for insisting on going ahead with the plans of getting married to that bitch and for forcing me to go and shop for his stupid engagement party with her." I know right, although I found out that she's from a rich family. Her father is Gary Reeds he died recently and willed everything to her since she's the only child. Although I am very confused as to why she is living such a simple life with all the money she has and I don't understand why she's interested in a contract marriage with my man." It's obvious that Pierce is not paying her to be is wife, so what exactly is her gain in al
KIANA'S POV Ashley refused me paying for her things but I insisted... First of all, this is her brother's card, so technically he is the one paying for her. Secondly she was a great help today in getting me a nice dress for the engagement party and to think she even wanted to give up her reserved dresses for me, so yes the least I can do is pay for her dresses especially because it's her brother's card." Thanks so much for today Ashley, I am very grateful." I pulled her in for a hug after making payment for the dresses." It's nothing." She smiled as she picked up her shopping bag and left with Ken.After they left, I picked up my bag as well and stepped out of the store with Lucy. We made our way to the car and Diego started driving as soon as we entered." Is it just me or did her mood change when she realized that it was her brother's card." Lucy asked but I didn't notice anything of that nature." I don't know, I didn't notice anything. She was very nice and helpful and that's a
KIANA'S POVThe last six months has been nothing but hell and if I am being honest to myself, I am exhausted and frustrated to the core... It is already bad enough that I lost my dad about six months ago but somehow, he made my life worse even in death, I have always considered myself as daddy's girl which is why I'm beyond mad and hurt to realize that my dad doesn't love me, at least not in the way I thought.My dad's death and the reading of his Will, changed my life in many ways than I can even count. I never really had interest in having a boyfriend or even getting married anytime soon but my dad somehow found a way to impose his wish on me by including a marriage clause on his Will." You have to get up Kiana, you can't stay in bed all day. I know that you are tired and frustrated but unless you have made up your mind to forfeit the estate, company and fifty million dollars, you have to get your ass up at some point and let's keep searching for a life partner for you, else you wo

PIERCE'S POV " Ahahaha, oh my gosh Pierce. Please put me down." She squealed as I hoisted her up from the blanket and ran into the water with her in my arms." There is no way you will bring me to a beach and we won't swim." I dumped her into the water and we both started laughing.The wave of the water was fast approaching and we scampered out and ran while laughing. To be honest, I can't remember the last time I had this much fun... I am really glad she invited me out, she's beautiful and fun to be with, she's smart and very mature, unlike the many ladies I have been with who are obviously with me because of what I can offer." No not again." She screamed as I held her hands again and pulled her back into the water with me. We kept running in and out of the water, and after awhile we decided to stroll around a little." Are you having fun?" She asked after a while." Of course I am, I can't even remember the last time I had this much fun. We should do this again." I said as I carri
KIANA'S POV Later in the day, I decided to get up and start preparing for my date but I made sure to call the restaurant to remind them of my orders and when I am picking it up... After the call, I made a beeline to the bathroom and showered quickly, when I was done Lucy helped me with my hair and then she did a simple nude makeup to go with the look.In about forty five minutes or so, Lucy was done making me look good. I checked myself out in the mirror, and I actually can't remember the last time I looked this beautiful." You like." She asked after a while of staring at myself." Of course I love it, thanks bestie. I love how I look, everything looks perfect." " Good because I don't think Pierce will be able to keep his eyes and hands off you today when he sees you." Lucy said excitedly and that's exactly the reaction I am hoping to get from Pierce." I hope so girl, I hope so." I got up from the chair in front of the vanity and I went to the closet to pick the two beach wear I b
