Chapter 47. Being paranoid
Third person's point of view....
They scurried out of the room with a lump in their throat. Payton tried to compose his calmed face as he moved ahead holding Kiara's wrist. She was too shocked to move on her own. Her eyes effortlessly stated somewhere in the mid air without batting her lashes whereas her slow dreading unusual breaths made it clear that the encounter had a hard impact on her.
Payton walked fast from right to left until he came to the passage leading to the main vestibule area of the hotel. He was too lost in the thought of getting themselves out that he totally lost his focus and ended bumping into someone's back ahead.
"Uhh I am extremely sorry, I did no—" His utterance further died in his mouth when his astonished faze shot a glance at the face of the person. "G
48. I hope you are fine, raven"Kiara! Kiaraaa!!" a harsh shake and I came back to my senses blinking my eyes vigorously.I looked in the front only to find Payton standing before me with a quizzical look. Where is my Raven? Where did my baby go? "Oh Kiara, I have been calling you since long. Where are you lost?" he asked me, but did he see that I was sitting with Girard and talking to him. Not only that, I was actually with my baby and Raven!!!"I and Girard were talking about bil—" I turned my head pointing at the place beside me where Girard sat however it came out as a shock when I got to see none! "WY-where did he go?" He was nowhere to be seen.I ca
49. She killed the human in himThird person's point of view...The next morning was a bit calm. It was though one of the difficult mornings for Kiara she anyway welcomed it with a smile. Last night she hallucinated talking to Girard after having bumped into him in that hotel's corridor.In fact, the meet with Billy before that has harmed her emotions too much that she cannot bring herself to face him. She just destroyed their lives. Even though she was not completely the one to be accused of the Carter family's damage she was still responsible ruining it. At least that was what she thought to herself.However, the talk with Payton last night gave her a hope. A hope of getting things back to its track. She did do wrong in her anger but it was not yet too late. There was still an opportunity to mend things back. And Kiara, she
Girard's point of view... Billy's leave from his life brought loneliness and restlessness. He spent more time in office than house. And that was why whenever he was unavailable to me called via phone we knew it that we can find him in one place only—his office. On the day of hearing, we saw him crying hysterically for Billy and after that he forgot now to smile. Or I should say, he forgot how to respond emotions. A month has passed to that day but it already looks like decades moved by, and we couldn't make a move ourselves. Kiara's leave was a living cursed on Raven. Never mind, I won't think about that woman as I have promised my brother. Later that night after Billy and his stuff was taken away from dad's house, Raven took a promise from me. He asked me to never discuss her, to never raise any topic which has her mention.
51. The partyDressed into the most expensive dresses women walked gloriously through the red carpet inside the biggest ceremony hall of Washington, The palace.The name was enough to describe what kind of place it was. White marbles cemented together into a big astounding building with four pillars supporting the massive entrance door on either side gave the paparazzi a good location for their camera.While the famous celebrities along with the popular business persons were making their way inside the plush entrance door one after another. There was no stopping to the back to back arriving of cars as there stepped outside the invited guests to the third anniversary of the Marshals jewellery."Three successful years passed by, and we didn't notice it! I would dedicate this success to our Hard working team of employees and emp
52. I need himKiara's point of view...He was really dancing with that woman who killed his daughter. Not even did he look disgusted for a second. Her dress was backless, looked like Shania purposely wore a dress like that knowing that she would get to dance with her ex husband.My heart broke shattered laying my eyes on their bodies. They were pressed together and oh— she kissed him on the lips. Whispers erupted in the entire hall, people were talking about them.The ex couple was kissing each other on the dance floor. Cherry on top, a spot light fell on them hence highlighting their kiss scene in the party. Flickering lights of cameras filled my ears as there were camera men standing in the corners taking good snaps of couple kissing.Enough!
53. So this was Girard's secretA month later,Raven's point of view..."Spilling out the secret won't spoil you plan, Jerry!" My mind was irritated, so I exclaimed with a little rudeness.None can blame me here since my elder brother was being a pain in my ass. This guy announced regarding a secret the other night at the supper. He told us to be ready in the early morning by 7.30 am as he would be taking us to somewhere!"Why so impatient, bud? Have some faith on your brother, you will know when i reach the venue." Alright, I swear I will not utter a word after that.Mom and dad sat in the back seat in Girard's car once I was done clasping the buckle of my seat belt. I wonder what was so that secret! He was currently sta
54. Back to mommy KiaraThe blood in my veins seemingly felt draining out. She was standing right in front of my eyes after so many months. Not only my blood was feeling affected but also my throat.However, She was standing there with her new lover.Infinite thorn of ache pricked my pipe as I swigged my saliva struggling to keep calm. Her face was in front of me once again. The face, that got me sobbing on the next day of her leave. The face, that got me yearning it while my son was being snatched away from my arms."And you Shania, enough of your drama, today we will show you what it means to be hurt!" I was too dumbstruck by her occurrence that when Girard pulled me by my arm I kind of tripped with my steps.I was not able to get out of the shock, her face and that traumatiz
55. You don't see my painAfter that leave Raven never visited his parents' house to see Billy. That Night Kiara cried to herself hugging her son to her chest as she did manage to get him back to herself but his father, she could not get him at all.He was damn angry on her.It was justified though.Kiara can comprehend as to what was holding him back. Firstly, she left them in the hardships and when her guilt was eating her for the blunder she made, she came back.Although the entire Carter family forgave her there was her husband who was still maintaining distance from her. "Morning uh, m-mom!" Her eyes were red and puffy, Mrs. Carter forced a smile recognizing them.She must have cried the whole night!
