KIANA'S POV I sat down in front of the vanity for hours, while Lucy was doing one thing or the other on me the whole time ... She started with my hair that was already prepped at the salon yesterday, then she styled it in a low wavy ponytail and she left a few strands of hair out to softly frame my face. After styling my hair, she moved to doing my makeup which took a long time. Lucy did a mixture of brown and gold color blend for my eyeshadow and a red lipstick to match my dress... Like I said, she spent like an hour or so on the makeup alone but the finished product was totally worth it. Honestly, I look so classy and beautiful, the make up is moderate and I have no complaints." I love it girl, you did a very good job."" Yeah?"She acted like she's not aware of how good she just made me look but the smile on her face made me realize that she just wanted me to praise her and I don't mind because she totally deserves it." Of course, you are amazing. Maybe we should open a makeup
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
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
KIANA'S POVI am momentarily having a mixed feeling, I am ecstatic to read from my Dad once again even though he is not here but I am also blue to know that the woman I have always recognized as my mum is not my mum after all... It's even more sad for me to know that Bridget is not a good person, I always felt like something was weird with her but I thought it was just sily jealousy and irresponsibilities because she had a rich husband.But what saddens me the most is not knowing my real mum and my dad who can tell me more about her is not here anymore either which means I have lost the chance completely." Oh Kiana, I am so sorry about this." Lucy consoled after reading the letter i dropped while I continue crying." Thanks Lucy." I said in a teary voice but then I stopped crying when Lucy spoke again." There is something else in the envelope." Lucy said while handing me the brown envelope she picked from the floor." Oh my god, I am so happy to see this." I said excitedly after se
PIERCE'S POVI can't believe that even as a fucking billionaire, I will get fucked over and over again by ladies just because of love and when you ask ladies what they want in a man, they go ahead to say they want a loving, caring, god-fearing man that will spoil them and a that crap.Here I am being faithful, supportive, caring, loving, capable and willing to spoil my woman but no matter what I do, they are never satisfied and it sucks... It's crazy how insatiable ladies are but I can't keep up and I am honestly tired, I am done trying to find some lame ass love." Call me Mr solution." Stan said immediately he entered my office and I am just wondering what he is fucking up to this time." Why would I want to do that or have you suddenly changed your name?" I asked curiously with a smirk on my face." Well I earned the name because standing in front of you is a man with the solutions to all your current problems." He said cockily and it almost made me laugh although I am in no mood t
PIERCE'S POVStan drove us to a five star restaurant just around the corner, which didn't take long at all. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we got situated close to the window with a great view and a waiter attended to us immediately and it's very obvious that Stan is fucking hungry with the way he jumped right in and made his demands while I had to look through their menu before deciding." Please get me Buffalo chicken bowls with cauliflower garlic rice and a bottle of wine." Stan ordered immediately while I am still trying to make up my mind on what to have." I will like salty, sweet and spicy creamy coconut curry sauce with broiled salmon and a side of white rice." I finally placed my order." Okay sir, I will be right back." The waiter said just as he was about to leave.Just as he said, he returned within a few minutes with a bottle of wine and two glasses, he opened and served us before he left for the food I guess. It's actually a good bottle of wine, DeLuka... It's mus
KIANA'S POVIt's been over a week now that I met Pierce at the restaurant and I still can't believe that I allowed myself to be pushed into asking him to marry me but the surprising part is the fact that he actually agreed... Right from when he sent the bottle of wine to our table, Lucy started persuading me to ask him and even when he was talking to us at the table she still didn't stop till I took the bait.It's been three weeks since I received that letter that motivated me into trying again and I can't believe how much progress I have made since there and here I am preparing to go over to Pierce's office this afternoon to sign the contract papers... I am one step closer to laying my hands on my inheritance and I am so happy that I won't have to disappoint my dad even though he is not here." Wow girl, you look so beautiful in that dress." Lucy complimented immediately she entered the room while I checked myself out in the vanity and I agree with her because the dress compliments m
KIANA'S POV" It's official, I think I just made a terrible mistake by signing that contract." I blurted out after reading the text.I don't know who sent the text but I know for a fact that the person is serious, I just left his office and the sender already knows what I did. This only means that I am being watched but why, what does the person have to gain in all of this." Why, did something happen?" Lucy asked curiously and I honestly don't know what to say because she warned me to reconsider but I insisted." Yes I just got another text, look." I said as I handed her the phone." Oh my God kiki, this is exactly what I was avoiding." She pointed out and I thought she was going to rub it in but she didn't." This is all my fault, I should have listened to you. What am I going to do now?" I asked while looking around to see if someone is watching me or something." Well it's not exactly your fault, you are doing this to fulfill your father's wish. Besides it's too late now, the best

KIANA'S POV I woke up around ten in the morning, I needed to have a well deserved rest after all the stress of yesterday. We were so exhausted by the time we returned home but I am glad I listened to Lucy because I loved every single thing I bought and I am looking forward to getting dressed.The engagement party is later this evening, so I still have enough time before then... I looked around for Lucy but she's no where to be found, I wonder where she went to. I got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom, I showered and then I stepped out, put my hair in a messy bun and then I changed into something very simple, just as Lucy returned." You are up." Lucy noted as soon as she stepped in. " Yes, where were you?"I sat on the bed and grabbed the phone, I am very hungry and I need to order something for breakfast." Nowhere in particular, just strolling around."" Oh I see, what do you want for breakfast?"" Anything is fine." She made her way to the bathroom while I started calli
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
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 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
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
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
