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
PIERCE'S POV "Please tell me you have news for me." I said as soon as I got to the office and I saw Stan.By the time I left Kiana's place yesterday, it was too late to go back to the office, so I decided to go home instead. Although it doesn't even feel like home anymore now that she's not there."Not exactly but did something happen?" Of course something happened, something is always happening these days.I woke up to a message this morning from Kiana and it was the video from the night before our wedding."Yeah, I was with Kiana yesterday and she told me some pretty disturbing things." I explained everything she told me yesterday to him and then I showed him the video she sent this morning.I can see in the video that it's the same Peter guy and I can hear a lady in the background giving him instructions. Although the voice is not very clear because of the music and party noise but I can still tell that the voice is oddly familiar."Is it just me or the voice is familiar?" Stan as
KIANA'S POV "I have missed you so much." I said while still hugging him.I wish I can just break the news of my pregnancy to him, I know it will make him so happy but I can't for now, at least not until we figure out who we are dealing with."I missed you too love, how have you been?" He pulled away from the hug and he started checking my face and body, like it will tell him if I am okay or not."I'm fine baby, come in." I allowed him in and shut the door behind him."Wow, this is a beautiful place." He complimented when he entered the living room."Thanks baby." I said just as Lucy stepped out.She is all dressed and I didn't realize that she had plans of going out today or is she leaving because of Pierce?"Hi Pierce, I am so glad you are here. How are you doing?" She asked while smiling at him."I am happy to be here too. It's been a rough couple of days but I am okay, how are you doing" "I'm fine, anyways I am going out. I will see you guys later." She said before grabbing her p
KIANA'S POV "I think we should go to the hospital." Lucy said as soon as she entered my room and noticed that I am still not feeling fine.I have been a little under the weather for a few days now and I really don't know what's wrong. I thought I was down because of the issues I am having with Pierce but he texted me two nights ago and we are as good as new again and I am still not feeling well."Why?" I asked as I managed to sit up."Well you are not feeling fine, isn't that enough reason to go to the hospital? Or will you prefer I call Pierce instead?" Of course not, the last thing I want is to stress anyone."No you can't call him and I am not going to the hospital, it's not that bad. I am fine, I just need more rest.""Okay, if you don't want to go, then you have to stand up and run this test." She said and threw a park of pregnancy test kit to the bed."I don't understand, do you think I am pregnant?" I asked curiously although it's not far fetched now that I am thinking about i
PIERCE'S POV"I'm here with my boyfriend, how have you been?" She looks good and I am happy for her and I hope she won't ruin the relationship again like she did when she was with me."I'm fine, thanks. You look good." I complimented her.Even with the fact that she cheated on me, I hold no grudge. Sure I was really hurting when it happened but the relationship was great while it lasted and I think that's why it was really hurtful, I didn't see a reason why she needed to cheat and on my fucking bed but I think what I hated most about the whole situation is the fact that she kept denying the fact that she cheated on me even though I had proof or maybe she was telling the truth."Thanks, you too. I heard you got married, how's your wife?" "Yes I did, she's doing great." I lied because Fiona is the last person I want to discuss my marital life with."That's good, congratulations. I will see you some other time, take care." I left and joined Stan at the bar and he is already having a dri
PIERCE'S POV "Guy, you are kidding me right?" Stan asked immediately he entered my office after Ashley left."Kidding about what?" I have a pretty good feeling about what he is talking about though, it's definitely about Ashley."Are you sure that you guys really had sex because she really looks cheerful and normal, like nothing happened." I am still bewildered at her behavior, I can't believe that she came looking for me and she even kissed me like she normally does. "Have you considered the fact that maybe you guys had too much to drink and slept off, maybe nothing happened." He pointed out and I am fucking glad that he can now see what I was trying to explain to him."Of course we had sex, she was naked and she confirmed that we had sex... This is what I have been trying to tell you, she has been acting indifferent like what happened doesn't count or like it didn't even happen." She's driving me crazy."I actually thought that you were exaggerating but you are right, she's acting
ASHLEY'S POV I can recognize her anywhere, even with just her back view. Kiana has been a pain in my neck since the first time I saw her and since then, all I could think about is how to get her out of our lives permanently but now that she's out, I am beginning to realize that she might not be the problem."Ashley, I wasn't expecting to see you here." Kiana said when she turned around and saw me... She's smiling but I can tell that the smile is fake, she doesn't look good and her eyes are red and puffy, like she has been crying all day but I don't give a fuck.I know she's hurting and I pity her a little but I have to look out for my fucking self and getting her out of the picture is the first step."Yeah, I wasn't expecting to see you here either." Honestly I didn't expect her to be out here shopping, shouldn't she be locked up in her room brooding?"Yeah, I practically forced her to come out with me. The whole situation with Pierce has been really difficult for her, so I decided t
KIANA'S POV Two days later..."I have lost count of how many times Pierce has called you, yet you have blatantly refused to pick up his call. I don't understand why you are doing this, it's very obvious that you are hurting yet you are so adamant and you have refused to listen to him." Lucy chastised when she heard my phone ringing again.Honestly, Pierce has called me more times than I can count but I don't know what to say to him. Does it make sense that I am mad at him and I am not mad at the same time? I am confused about the situation too and I don't know what to do, I mean I am upset that he manipulated me into thinking he was doing me a favor by going into a contract marriage with me, meanwhile he was in fact doing it for his own selfish interests.Maybe he changed his mind along the line like he said but the fact still remains that I was just a means to an end for him and it hurts so much."You don't understand Lucy.""Then make me understand because you have been here for tw
PIERCE'S POV Stan stared at me in shock without saying a word and I am beginning to regret telling him in the first place but I need to say something, I can't keep this to myself."I'm sorry, it sounded like I heard you say something in the line of you had sex with your fucking sister." Hearing it from Stan just confirmed it to me again that I have messed up big time and I wish that the money issue with Kiana never happened and I wouldn't have had a reason to drink or to be alone with Ashley in the first place."I know what I did and I know how horrible it is, so you don't have to make me feel worse. It's bad enough that I had sex with her but you should know that it was a horrible mistake and I hate myself for it so much." "It's okay, just sit down. The deed has been done and there is no need beating up yourself over it but how exactly did it happen?" Stan is actually very surprising.I expected another reaction from him, I thought he was going to be mad and probably berate me espe
PIERCE'S POV I woke up with a banging headache, I know I drank last night with Ashley when she was trying to console me and be supportive but did I drink that much? I am not a heavy drinker but yesterday was really fucked up, so maybe I drank a little too much.I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was clothes littered all over my floor and not just my clothes, a woman's clothes as well... I can see a nice night wear and a sexy red pants. "Is Kiana back?" I looked at the other side and I saw a lady laying in bed, I can't see her face but I know for sure that she isn't my wife.I can't remember bringing home a lady, why would I do something that stupid. I tried to remember what happened last night but just at that moment, the lady turned around. "Holy shit, fuck." I jumped out of bed when I realized that the lady in my bed is Ashley, my fucking sister. "Oh my goodness, what have we done?" I grabbed my boxers from the ground and I immediately wore it."Calm down Pierce, rel
