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.Kiara’s POVI woke up early in the morning since I fell asleep very early last night compared to when I usually go to bed. It was still dark outside. I opened the big window in the middle of my room to feel the cold, fresh air entering my bedroom. I went into the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. Then I made my messy hair into something acceptable and put on some leggings with a sweater on top. I tried to dress up as comfortably as I could in the house since I couldn't do it outside anymore. I went downstairs to make myself a cup of coffee and something to eat but when I entered I saw Valentina, sleeping on the chair with a cup of scotch in her hand. I got scared and quickly walked to her. Then, I rubbed her shoulder to try to wake her up. "Hey, Val. Come on, let me help you walk to your bedroom." I quietly said to not scare her while she was still sleepy. She looked around with her red eyes "What happened?" she asked. "I don't know, but everything is okay." As I notic
Tom’s POV Kiara stared at her phone screen for a brief moment, and without warning, her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she struggled to maintain her composure. The sight or message on her phone had clearly struck a deep and emotional chord within her, leaving her visibly shaken and distressed.“Little bird, are you alright?" I asked her. She didn't respond. Kiara was completely engrossed in her phone, completely oblivious to her surroundings. It was as though nothing else existed in the world except for the device in her hand. As I looked into Kiara, her eyes met mine, she was still completely silent. Her gaze was fixed on me as if she was silently pleading for help or perhaps just a deeper understanding. It was an intense moment, and the silence between us was almost palpable. Despite the lack of words, I could sense that something was troubling her deeply, and I wanted to do anything I could to offer comfort or support. I looked at her "
Kiara's POV “If you leave now, I promise not to tell anyone about this. Just please leave" I cried in front of him, begging him to leave. "I am tired, don't you see? I love you to death but still beg you to leave, so please do it, please!" He was staring at me, not saying a word. "Go away!" "Okay, fine, I'll go. But if you tell anyone I'll kill you, Kiara!" With those words, he disappeared. 2 years later I was sitting in a café, talking with Lana- my best friend, since I've known myself."So, it has been a while. Any boyfriends or new friends?" She asked me while taking hercoffee from the waiter's hands."No, not really. After Finn, I don't think I'm ready for a new relationship." I took a sip of my coffee."Are you ever gonna tell me what happened?" Lana looked at me, hoping I'd spill some words. I just shook my head. I didn't want anyone to know what happened between me and Finn. I've never spoken to anyone about it before and I don't think I'm ready, yet. Four men in black
Kiara's POV I heard a knock on my door. I ran to open it and saw a tall female. She had light brown hair, green eyes, just like the forest, and beautiful red lips. "Hello, I'm Valentina! Nice to meet you. Vincent told me, you were a new guest, so I thought it would be nice to present myself." She smiled. "Oh, hi! I'm Kiara." I shook her hand. She had red nail polish and very pale skin. "I am Vincent's wife. I've been in your position. I know you feel awful, but they are not bad people. But I am here for you if you need anything." She rubbed my shoulder and left the room. She looked like a very nice person. I went downstairs to grab me some water and something to eat because I was starving. I saw a bowl full of fruit, so I got one apple. I sat on the wooden chair. The left wall was made out of glass, so you could see what was happening outside of the house because it was right in front of the gateway and the garage next to it. I saw a grey car parking, but soon my attention was go
Kiara's POV I was ready just in time for the meeting with Tom. I was under a lot of pressure. I didn't have any idea what was he going to tell me. I just knew it was not going to go well because we both have different opinions on everything. I stood up from my bed and walked out of my bedroom. I began walking through this endlessly long hallway. And here it is - his office. I knocked on one and waited. Nothing. I knocked again. Nothing. I opened the door with pressure and almost fell. I got myself together and straightened my back. The office was huge. It was dark - like Tom, no wonder. It was made mostly out of wood and there was a big desk in black. In front of it, there were two black chairs and a small table between them. Behind the desk was a large wooden bookshelf. Lastly, there was a small, black couch with little decorative, white pillows in the middle."I'm sorry. I tried to knock, but I didn't hear anything, so I decided to just come in." I said."It's soundproof. Don't wo
Kiara's POV When I woke up Valentina was still asleep. I didn't want to wake her up, so I tried to get up as quietly as I could. I went to brush my teeth and take a shower with my hair because it was very dirty from last night.After I was ready, I went back into the room. Val was still asleep. I put some clothes on and went downstairs to pour myself some water. I got some food for Valentina and ran up the stairs back to my room. Now my new friend was awake. "Morning, Ki." She said, massaging her disheveled hair. "Good morning, Val. I got you some food, thought you would be hungry." I sat down on my bed next to her, making an upside-down smile. "Thank you for not letting me run. I'm not happy here, but it was a very stupid idea, because you were right - there is no escape from here." She shook her head. "I know. But we are getting in trouble. I mean you are."I rolled my eyes and we heard a knock on the door. Ms. Betty came in."Sorry to bother you, Ms.Davis. Tom wants you in his
Tom's POV When she left my office, I didn't want to go after her. She seemed afraid. Why did she say that? What is the reason that made her think I'll ever hit her? There was no way in the world that I'd ever hit a woman, if she doesn't give enought of a reason to do it. Vincent came into the office. "Hey, I saw Kiara, running to her room, sobbing herself. What happened?" "What? She was crying? I didn't see that. We had a little argument and that's all." I said. I didn't want to tell Vincent, yet. Not until I figured out what happened and what made her feel like I was going to do such a thing to her. "Are you sure? She was sobbing. We've seen her cry, but this time... it wasn't like the other ones." He pointed back. "I don't know, brother. I will talk to her, later. I have some work to do now." He nodded and and soon he left. I sat on my chair behind the desk and opened the folder with Kiara's data. It had her family line, phone number, email address, the place she lives, and h
Kiara's POV As soon as Tom left, I continued to eat the delicious Chicken pasta bake that Ms. Betty had prepared for me. I couldn't help but ponder over Tom's concern for me. Why did he wait for me to wake up? Even if it was for five minutes. Why was he so caring towards me? I felt grateful towards both Tom and Valentina for taking care of me, but I didn't think the doctor's visit was necessary. After all, I've had heart problems before, and fainting was not a new experience for me. Just as I was lost in my thoughts, I heard a knock on my door. "Hey, I heard you woke up.'' She sat on the bed next to me and slightly smiled. ''Do you remember what happened?'' "Upon standing up from my bed, I suddenly found myself back on it, next to Tom who was sitting and waiting." "But, how are you feeling now? I don't mean only physically, but mentally as well." "Physically fine, mentally... I'm not sure. It's on periods. Sometimes I want to cry, because of the person that I have to fall in love
