Chapter 10

Tom’s POV

I went back into my office after I made sure that my doll was okay. I opened the laptop sitting on my wooden desk and unlocked the camera for Kiara's room. I looked at her angel face imagining what I could do to her. She was mine, there was nowhere she could hide, I owned her. I loved the idea of her being my toy and prey.

I went downstairs to the kitchen. I saw Valentina sitting on the chair, crying. I went to the section with drinks and got one whiskey, then poured it into a cup, watching Valentina curiously.

''Is everything alright?'' I asked grabbing an apple from the fruit bow in the middle of the table.

She tried to wipe the smudged mascara from her face ''Yeah, I'm fine.''

''May I ask what happened?'' I sat on the chair in front of her.

She rolled her eyes ''Just a stupid argument with Vince.'' she wiped one tear, falling from her face ''He probably has told you that I have a problem.'' she continued.

''No, he hasn't told me anything.'' I said.

''Oh, well I can't get pregnant.'' she sobbed ''I've taken a thousand tests and they are all negative.''

If I had a heart, I would have said that this felt like an arrow to the heart. I didn't know why Vincent hadn't told me about this problem, not that I knew what to do but still, I'm his brother. I'm his biggest supporter in life.

''Did you go to see a doctor?'' I asked.

''Yes, not only one and they all said that there is a minimum chance for me to get pregnant.''

I stood up to get some tissues and a glass of water for Valentina.

''And what does that have to do with the argument?'' I put the things on the table and sat back on the chair.

''It's because I feel guilty about it and every time I try to talk to Vincent about it, he gets very mad.'' she got one tissue and pad under her eyes ''And I don't understand him, because every time he gets angry, I start to feel even more guilty.''

''Okay, I'm not a doctor or a good therapist but I'll do my best to talk to Vincent, I promise.''

''I'm sorry for dawning you into this mess, I'm sure you have a lot to worry about - work, enemies, even Kiara.''

Kiara.

''Speaking of her, I'm sorry, but I'll need you to excuse me I have to check on her because I don't know how she is after that cup of whiskey, she drank earlier.'' I got up and grabbed my drink. ''Also, this is not your fault, don't blame yourself for something you can't control. Everything will be fine, I promise. Good night, Val.''

''Good night Tom. Thank you, I needed to hear that.'' she smiled.

''Of course.'' I smiled back and left.

I returned to my office and went directly to my laptop to see Kiara, who was sleeping like a baby, which made me feel relieved. I didn't know what was it about her but I was always trying to make sure she was okay, I didn't know why. Her safety was my number one job.

Suddenly, I got a call from one of my guys, Liam, whom I trusted the most.

''Boss, we found his old friend, who gave us the location from his old apartment. He said that there is a hidden diary, where he wrote about every day of his life. We'll try our best to find it and send it to you, as soon, as possible.'' he said.

''Where is that guy now?'' I asked.

''He is locked in one of our basements.''

''Okay, did you do anything with him?'''

''No, we haven't done anything, sir.''

''Good. Listen, Liam, I want you to keep him alive, but don't let him go. We might need him.'' I ordered.

I put the phone on the desk and looked at my sleeping doll again. I did that a lot. I stayed in that position for hours admiring her beautiful, natural features. That was my second favourite thing, the first one was to be with her. Her brown messy hair all over her face, her sleeping positions, her little snores, her sleep talking, God she was so cute. She was my favourite creation on the planet, even though I didn't show it to her a lot. She hated me and I'm not gonna lie, I loved seeing her mad, I loved the thought of controlling her emotions. I loved controlling her. She was mine and I was ready to say that as many times as needed for her to understand it.

As much as I didn't want to remove my eyes from Kiara, I had to do the work that I told her about. I took a big gulp of my drink and got down to business. I had two or three more conversations with the rest of my people because Finn wasn't the only person I was interested in. I took a few data folders of some of my enemies and looked through them to see if I could find any useful information about them but to no avail. I called Liam again and told him to tell the other people to start looking for information on them, but for him to continue hunting Finn because he was the only one I trusted for the job.

After a few hours I was finally done. I closed the laptop and turned the light off. Then, I went into Kiara's room to take a look at her for the last night and slightly kissed her on the forehead. I did that every night after finishing my work.

I carefully closed the door after myself to not wake her up. After that, I returned to my bedroom. As soon as I entered, the warm glow of my bedside lamp greeted me. I walked towards it, switched it off, and the room was plunged into darkness. Then, I headed to the bathroom for a refreshing shower. The warm water washed away the tiredness and stress of the day. Once I finished, I wrapped myself up in a fluffy towel and went back to my bedroom. I slipped into my sheets and soon, I drifted off into a deep and restful sleep.
