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 We hide by the side of the bed after the windows in the entire house shattered one after the other. My heart skipped with every smashing sound we heard around the house but we stayed quiet and hid.Although no one has entered the house yet but that doesn't make it less scary, I don't know if they are just trying to scare us they are trying to get into the house. This could be a robbery but that will be strange because this is a very safe neighborhood and we have never had a case of robbery before." I think we can come out now." I said after hiding for what felt like an hour but it has only been for about fifteen minutes." What just happened?" Lucy asked quietly as we crawled out of our hiding place." I don't know Lucy, something like this has never happened before. I suddenly feel so unsafe." I pointed out as we held each other's hands while looking around at the damage.The window in the bedroom and living room was smashed with a big stone in different spots and all t
KIANA'S POV Oh Lord have mercy, I initially thought I was being paranoid when I felt like someone was watching me when I first left my apartment and even when I saw the black car but now that the driver has confirmed that we are indeed being followed, I am so scared and I don't know what to do." Should I call the cops?" I asked curiously because I can't think of anything else.This makes no sense to me, I have always lived a peaceful quiet life. So I know this has something to do with Pierce's mysterious lover but I just don't understand why she's going this far in such a short period of time, knowing fully well that I am not even dating him, this is just a contract for God's sake." Don't worry Miss, I will lose them." The driver assured just as he increased his speed." Okay thanks." I said as I silently pray that he is actually able to lose the car.I continuously looked behind with every turn my driver made and to my surprise, I stopped seeing the car behind us, which means my d
KIANA'S POV " What do you mean by you are getting married?" She asked in disbelief.I find it had to believe too, it's ridiculously urgent but it's happening and I am very excited, I mean this wedding will solve all my problems but aside that, I love the person I am getting married to. Pierce is everything I want in a man and he makes me happy and that's all that really matters." Pierce suggested that we should get married this weekend, so that his crazy crush can stop bothering me." " Okay, I like the idea of the marriage but how will that help the situation, I even think it will infuriate her more, besides the reason for all her actions is to keep you guys apart right?" She mentioned my exact concerns." That's exactly my concern but Pierce is of the opinion that she will give up because we would have already done what she is trying to do and I will be leaving with him which is more secured than this place." I explained." Well he has a point, what's the point of her fighting you
KIANA'S POV " I spoke to the guy I told you about a while ago and I have sent him the feeds, hopefully he will find something soon." Pierce said as soon as he got back to the suite." Okay, thanks baby."" Have you even had anything to eat today?" " No but I am not hungry." The last thing on my mind is food.Today has just been a lot and I am mentally and physically stressed, from my car to Bridget's issues. I need to tell Pierce about her but I have stressed him a lot already and I don't even know how to bring up the topic." I know you are upset, worried and even scared but I am here and I will fix everything but you have to eat. I don't want you to fall sick."" I am fine." I don't have appetite besides I have a lot on my mind that I am still trying to figure out." No love, you have to eat." He grabbed the phone on the bedside table and dialed the restaurant.He ordered for cottage pie, Peri Peri Chicken with a side of rice and also chicken tikka masala." That's a lot of food."
KIANA'S POV The lobby looks chaotic, like something happened... Today has been a lot and I don't think I can stand anymore issues. We made our way through the crowd of people till we got to Pierce and the scene in front of me is highly unexpected." What the fuck?" Lucy asked in disbelief." Hey love, you are here." Pierce said as soon as he saw me." Yeah, what's going on here?" I asked worriedly as I stared at Diego and Frank laying on the ground, looking very exhausted and miserable.I have so many questions, where have they been and what exactly is wrong with them?" Well they have both been stuck in the elevator eight hours or so." " What, how did that happen?"" That's what we are about to find out." One of the waitress rushed over and handed them a bottle of water.It's obvious they are very thirsty with the way they rushed the water, they are probably hungry too, eight hours is a very long time to get stuck at a place." So guys, what exactly happened?" Pierce asked after th
KIANA'S POV " You didn't tell me you were coming." Bridget said as soon as I walked into the living room." Do I need permission to visit my father's house?"" Well yeah, this is my house now." " I'm glad you are laying claims because all the properties you are trying so hard to sell are all mine." From the look on her face, it's obvious she didn't want me to find out." How did you know?" " I have my sources Bridget, I know all your moves." Well I am exaggerating.She is very sneaky and she would have gotten away with everything if not because of the anonymous tip." Well you can't stop me, I am in charge and I will sell whatever I want. I can't believe that your father left me with nothing after everything."" You are so shameless and honestly my father is even very generous. He left you this house, his favorite car and even monthly allowance, after cheating on him and you are still not satisfied?" I took a step closer to her. " You are not in charge of anything and you have no r
KIANA'S POV Since my date with Pierce last night, I have not been able to get him out of my mind... We slept in the same bed but we didn't have sex, although his kiss and touch left an imprint on my heart and body.I still shiver and have goosebumps whenever I remember the kiss we shared, it was so awesome and he was the first person I thought of when I woke up this morning. I can still smell him all over me, especially on the pillowed he used... I am still in the hotel suite we shared last night but I think I should just go to my room, after all he is not coming back anytime soon.I got out of bed after reading his text and I decided to go to my room, I initially wanted to take my bath but I have no clothes here to change into." Wow, you are finally back. That was a pretty long date." Lucy teased me as soon as I stepped in." Yes it was long but also the best date ever." I said excitedly as I plopped on the bed beside her." Wow tell me everything." I gave Lucy the full gist from
PIERCE'S POV I have never had a more fun date than what I had with Kiana yesterday, we were both very exhausted and at the same time, we didn't want to go home. Even when we got to the hotel, I had to lodge in the hotel because it was too late for me to drive home and it gave us more time to spend together.Although nothing happened even though I wanted her but I decided to take things slow. We just cuddled up all night till we fell asleep and this morning, I had to buy a suit for the hotel boutique for work because if I had to go home first, I would have been late.Honestly, I have high hopes in Kiana. I have a feeling that she will be different from all my ex's and we will be together forever." Good morning Pierce." " What are you doing here Ashley?"I don't know why she decided to show up at the office this morning, I am still very upset with her for what she did, it makes me wonder how long she has been lying to me." Well you didn't come home last night and I was worried, I ev
KIANA'S POV By the time we finished with the dessert Dan gave us, it was pretty late and I was stuffed, I could barely move but it's obvious that Pierce is not done yet... We left the restaurant and Pierce started driving us to his new location but I am already dozing." Where are we going?" " To the club, you like the club right?" He glanced at me briefly." Yes but I have two left feets." Truthfully, I can't dance to save my life." Ahahaha, wow. I thought you were going to be a better dancer than I am." He laughed and I couldn't help but laugh too. " I guess we will practice with each other." I guess so but I don't think my dance moves can be saved." I'm really bad. " Lucy is a good dancer and she has been trying to teach me with no success."" Well you didn't learn because she's not your boyfriend, I bet you will learn a move or two before the end of today." " I love the sound of that, I will definitely learn." It's still strange to think of him as my boyfriend but I love it.
KIANA'S POV A while later the waiter returned with our wine but he didn't ask for our food order although he said chef Dan will join us soon but why do we have to wait for him before we make our orders?" Pierce, it's been a long time." A chef suddenly showed up and greeted Pierce, I am guessing he is the chef than we have been waiting for." Yes Dan, how are you?" Pierce got up and they exchanged handshake." I'm fine, thanks for asking. Who is this pretty lady?" Dan asked while smiling at me." Oh my bad, this is my fiance Kiana. Kiana meet Dan, he is an old friend."" Oh nice to meet you Dan." I got up and gave him a hug." The pleasure is all mine Kiana, welcome to my restaurant."It's a little strange to see the owner of a five star restaurant like this making the meals himself, that's sublime." You own this place, yet you are the chef?"" Yes I love to cook, it's the reason I started this business in the first place. I mean I have other guests but I still want to be there and
KIANA'S POV I am more nervous today than I was when I wanted to take Pierce out on a date, at least then I knew where I was taking him and what to wear unlike today... I have no idea where he is taking me to or what to wear, I am so nervous." I still can't believe you guys are dating now." Lucy noted." Well it's not official but yes we are technically dating, you needed to have seen how jealous and upset he was." I remember how he ignored me all day." Yeah but what do you think gave him that impression?" " I really don't know, maybe someone at the hotel is feeding him lies." " Well whatever they were planning has failed because it only brought you guys closer." That's true, I guess I should be grateful the person lied to him." Yeah, that's true." I sat in front of the vanity, doing my hair and makeup, I was about to start when Lucy stepped in. It's a good thing I have her because my makeup skills is not that good, at least not as good as her's.It's a simple makeup like the ty
