Betraying you were more right to me than betraying my family. I-"
'Khhkh' Kiara couldn't help but chuckle in the end. "I am really sorry. I tried hard not to laugh but you were not stopping with your speech at all." She said."Kiara? How can you say that?" Max bewilderedly asked.Kiara's words brought inexplicable expression to both Cathy and Ria's faces. Her words and actions were not cooperating at all with the situation. How can someone laugh at their offender after what they had done to her? Kiara suddenly looked like a totally different person to them."I mean what I say, Max. You are really funny." Kiara spoke."You-""You seriously think that I am hurt? I am devastated by your betrayal? Can't you see how happy I am having my favorite drink and snacks with my best friend during my working hour in a relaxed mood? I feel like I am free. Can't you see that?"Max's eyes instantly wavered. Looking at the desk and how her favorite drink and snacks were actually in front of her, made him realize how this is not the symptom of someone heartbroken.Where he expected his arrival would stun Kiara and shatter all her emotions at once, Kiara looked all fine to him. In fact, she looked more than fine to him.Kiara not for once tried to hide from embarrassment. She didn't try to avoid them. All this time she was having a face-off with them instead. It was strange and way different from the image he had in her mind.Instead of shattering Kiara, that situation shattered Max's ego instead. How can a girl in love with him actually be all fine after his betrayal? Doesn't that mean that she never liked him? Doesn't that mean that their relationship was actually all facade?"Kiara you do know what you are saying. Right?" Max solemnly looked at her.Kiara sneered at his words. "Of course, I know what I am saying or doing Max. In fact, I can't be more sure than this in my whole life. In fact, I should be thanking you for doing this to me.""You- you are totally okay by all this? You wanted this?" He asked again with a cold voice."A few days ago, No. But now? Definitely. I know why you did that. So all I care about is your reason. But being humiliated or devastated? No, not a chance."Getting up from her seat she walked and stood behind her chair. Placing both of her arms on the head of the chair, she continued."You said you did all that for your family? Do you say that you can't betray your father? Then why don't you explain to me why your father wanted us to get engaged as soon as possible. If I remember correctly it was my grandfather who wanted to take some time before arriving at that stage. But your family wanted us to get engaged within a week. Isn't it right Max?""...""...""..." Everyone got nothing to say or to add on. Max says that what he did was for his family. He did that for their welfare. Then what is all this....?"You say that you don't wanna betray your family. Then why, since you betrayed me, your family is calling me every single day or to say after every 6 hours? They don't just apologize to me Max but also insist that I don't give up on you as they will provide me justice. Do you even know that Max? Or you just came here without even meeting your family?" Kiara amusedly looked at him as she asked.Hearing that Max almost staggered back in shock. Ria looked sideways at him with a dismal. Both he and her know the reality. Max came for Ria only because he wanted power. He never cared about his family's feelings in front of his ambition. It wasn't Nora who wanted all this for her, but Max and his fiance Ria.The Max family always and always loved Kiara dearly. From day one they always wanted Kiara. Using his family's name was a very wrong decision by Max. However, Max has no knowledge that his family is still contacting Kiara to apologize. He knows that his family is constantly contacting him to break the engagement with Ria but he always ignores them. Didn't think that they were doing the same to Kiara.Cathy happily looked at her best friend. She was shocked to her core. Seeing how smoothly and precisely Kiara took care of the couple in just a few minutes, she was all content and thankful. She never thought that her friend would actually be able to do that. Pulling off such a character out of nowhere shocks her definitely.Ria's side lips twitched. Clenching her fist tightly she spoke. "You are such a pain in the ass.""Oh that I am, I know. And you know what? From the bottom of my heart, I want you guys to be happy. So don't worry, I will never come for you guys. My loathe is not big as my true blessings for you. I wish you forever guys. Please and please stay together forever. You guys are made for each other. I can't see you guys being separated. So... Cya." Saying that Kiara slowly waved her hand for them to get lost.Ria scoffed loudly. Looking at Kiara straight in her eyes she proudly said. "You think this will just end here? You don't know what is actually happening outside this small room of yours. You haven't seen the reaction of the world after what I did to you.""Really?" Kiara smiled."Act as much as you want my little sister. But if you think that you can pretend like nothing happened that night and no one would know then I must pop your bubble and tell you that I am living proof of your ruined life Kiara. I have got everything to finish you in a second. In fact, didn't I already ruin you, Kiara?""Act as much as you want my little sister. But if you think that you can pretend like nothing happened that night and no one would know then I must pop your bubble and tell you that I am living proof of your ruined life Kiara. I have got everything to finish you in a second. In fact, didn't I already ruin you, Kiara?" Kiara's eyes darkened. She very well knows what Ria was talking about. She was talking about the night when Kiara lost her virginity to some gigolo. How can she forget? And since that engagement day, Kiara particularly knows who planned all that against her and now Ria confirmed it more. "What are you talking about?" Cathy and Max both looked at Ria."Why don't you tell them, Kiara? One is your lover and the other is your best friend. They deserve to know the truth." Saying that Ria smirked."...""What is she talking about Kiara? How did she ruined you already?" Max impatiently asked again. His palm started sweating profusely. Without knowing anything his mind started
"How can you let her go? How can you forgive her so easily! I know you can never be a help! For once I actually thought that you have changed, you know how to fight for yourself. But no!! A big no! She did so much to you and all you did was babble! You let her go just after some scolding! Are you that dumb!" Cathy started shouting nonstop the moment the disgusting couple left.Kiara pursed her lips and let Cathy lash out as much as she wants. Kiara knows that she deserves this scolding. She knows that she shouldn't forgive Ria that easily. However, this is not the time. If she did anything wrong then it won't do good for her company's reputation. She can't risk her Grandfather's image because of revenge. The time has come. Within a few months, her Grandfather is about to select her as his heiress or successor. She can't risk that by telling everyone that she got into trouble because of someone's childish play.Moreover, according to the information she got from Ray, the key that nigh
"You wanna talk? You wanna talk Ria!! Then let's talk. How dare you! How dare you do something like that to Kiara! How dare you to even think about it! You should be thanking god that he saved Kiara that day otherwise i would have made you pay double for every single thing Kiara could have faced! You don't know how much worse I can become Ria. You don't know how lucky you are that nothing happened to Kiara that night." Max shouted restlessly. He felt like destroying everything around him and her. His eyes got red with anger. Veins on his necks were clearly visible to Ria. Without blinking once, he glared at Ria. When he tightened his fist tightly to not lose himself completely, his eyes and mouth already lost all his patience.He knows what he did to Kiara is not right either, but not in the world he ever wanted to hurt her that way. No matter whatever happened or happens between them, not even in his dream would he ever think about doing something like that to her.When he heard Kiar
"Ma'am in a month Mr. Miller called for a board meeting.""What board meeting?" Cathy looked at Kiara for the answer."Nothing. Just to remove me from my seat.""What!" Cathy slapped her palm on the desk. "Isn't he being too outrageous? I mean Mr. Walker and you are still in the middle of taking the fall they brought to the company. Instead of taking care of that, he is out here shamelessly for your seat?"Kiara patiently smiled. "Don't mind him Cathy. We all knew that this was about to happen anyway.""But-""Cathy." Kiara called."Hmph."Kiara looked down to the sheet. Seeing all the names on the paper, her hold tightened on the file. "Ray. By now how much support have we got?" "Nine." Ray right away replied.Kiara looked down to the names again. "Out of 38, we just got 9?""Yes ma'am. Among nine, five are our people and the rest are Mr. Walker's committed people.""What about the other 19 people?" James always had his majority on the board of directors. Among twenty three, she only
"So you finally got the time to have dinner with me?" James grumbled as he spoke to the girl who just walked inside the room.Kiara apologetically smiles. It's been a few days since she had dinner with her grandfather. Seeing him having dinner alone does make her feel guilty. "I am really sorry grandfather. This will never happen again." "As long as you know." Kiara took her seat beside James. While they were in the middle of their dinner, Kiara curiously asked. "Where is sister?""Don't know." James right away said."Huh?" Kiara frowned a little."What?" Hames nonchalantly asked back."She isn't back. Are you not gonna ask her where she is?" Kiara spoke."...""Grandfather.""What? She hasn't come back home since that incident happened." His nonchalance took over his reasonable mind."But it's been more than a week since that happened." Kiara stated.James agreedly nodded to her words. "Exactly. It's been more than a week since your sister came back home.""What? She never came bac
Few days later-"Aren't you tired of all these meetings every single day?" Cathy asked as she placed the chocolate drink in front of Kiara."Ohh do not let me start on that girl. I would have been fine if it wasn't about the dates I have to attend every single day because of YOU!" Kiara almost shouted out loud in anger. Since the first blind date she attended, her grandfather insisted her to go on again with the same man."Hey! That's mean! I was worried about you. And my ideas are actually fine. Otherwise Mr. Walker would never have agreed to it." Cathy proudly looked at her friend."..." Kiara had nothing to retaliate. It might have been okay if she was a devil or an emotionless person. But opting for such options knowing how wrong it is, is totally idiotic to her."So I heard that you are meeting that politician's son again tonight." Cathy asked."Hmm.""Why?""Grandfather thinks that he is the best option for me.""What about you?""I highly doubt my grandfather's choice." Kiara
"Hello Miss Walker.""...""Miss Walker?" He called her again.Kiara hurriedly came out of her stupor. Taking one little deep breath, Kiara calmed herself a little before asking. "Who are you?"At first she might have believed that the man walked into the wrong room. But hearing him calling her surname, it's a given thing that he knows her and he particularly came for her here.Strangely she got all different emotions but again she couldn't remember a single thing about this man.Hearing that question he smiled a little. Taking off his coat, he pulled his chair right in front of Kiara's seat, as he sat down. "You don't remember me?" He asked back with a smile.Seeing his smile Kiara instantly realised how rudely she was talking to him. Even though they don't know each other, she isn't supposed to behave like this to anyone, until they are on the bad side of each other."I am sorry. I was impolite. But I am really not able to remember any of our meetings." Kiara smiled back and said.
Once the food was served, he started eating his food. While Kiara kept staring at him, he didn't care a bit. Not for once he bothered to look at her to explain things.Once they reached their main course, he looked at her plate, which was still untouched. Rolling his tongue once he placed down his spoon."Miss Walker. Why are you not eating anything?" He asked."Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?" She right away asked."...""Have we met before?""...""...have I offended you before?""Miss Walker please eat." He repeated."..." To his words Kiara showed no expression. She still didn't touch her spoon. It wasn't just because of the absurd situation she was in but also because she was scared. Afraid that the food could be poisoned by the man. And right now seeing his power, she highly believes in the possibilities.Seeing her being vigilant around him, he snickered. He cared less about her reason. He didn't trouble himself to calm her or explain anything to her. For him, she do
