Xander POV I made my way straight to the main house as I drove, and then my phone rang. “Yeah, who is it?” I asked. “It's Silver, Sir,” she responded in a soft tone. “Ohh, silver, you guys got back quick, huh,” I said. “Yes sir, taking care of the rest going, really wasn't too much of a challenge, seeing most were already half dead anyway,” she responded. “So just to what do I owe this sudden call then?” I asked. “Well about the pictures and documents hidden at the old family estate you said I should try to check out for” she responded. “Yes, did you find anything?” I asked. “Yes, sir, I did,” she replied. Oh, my I can't believe it was actually there, now this is fascinating, just how exactly did that lady even know I was looking for this file, huh? And just how did she get it out of the blade house and into the old family house warehouse? But wait if it really is the pictures, then the last thing I need right now is an elder seeing it, but it is silver I doubt s
Kiara POV “Don't worry Kiara, she will definitely always be with you, now run! Kiara Run!”“Just who I'm I running from!” I voiced out as I woke up.Ahh jeez, here I thought I was free from that weird dream after leaving star island.I massaged my forehead slowly as I stared around my room, hmm well it is nice to be back here, and I wonder where Xander is.Oh, right he did seem busy with this whole annual event preparation, not surprised his not here right now, not even sure he got back home yesterday, oh well, I'm pretty sure his fine wherever he is.At least he doesn't have an angry father to meet today, I just feel it's going to a very long day for me already.“Well then shall I start my Day,” I stated as I stood up and faced right to the mirror.“Well I guess that's the end of my one-day vacation huh, it was delightful while it lasted, now it's time to get back to work and also time to face my father,” I said to myself as I finally switched on my phone.And well, no surprise, I s
Kiara POV “Yes father,” I responded, my head bent right back down instantly and I waited for his words.“You were to make sure the Darkwood don't get that land, leaving it to us to acquire, right?” he asked in a stern tone.“Yes that is right father,” it responded with my head still bent low.“And could you explain to me what happened,” he asked, sounding even more cold than his usual angry tone.I stared around, and could see Diane laughing, how dare this lady, I thought she had already kept her end of the deal, but it seems like she took me for a fool huh.“Well, Father,” I muttered slowly.“ Yeah it's okay, Diane already explained the whole situation to me, so I know the outcome was not on you to blame,” he stated as his time suddenly became softer.“Ohh really, she told you what happened, ?” I asked.“Yeah she did, technically she lost through a board game, and well, I'm not too surprised, she is extremely terrible at them.” he said as he chuckled a little.Ohh so she did keep he
Kiara POV I walked right out of the office and then made my way right through the hallways quickly.The last thing I need right now, is some old blade elder, greeting and talking to me, I always spend an hour whenever that happens.But just why exactly do I feel like I'm definitely forgetting something important to do here.And then suddenly hugged me right from my back.“Hey Kiara, and just where do you think you are rushing to with seeing me huh, you didn't forget about me right?” my elder sister Sophie asked.And there either had realized she was the significant person I forgot to see, oh, thank goodness I haven't left yet.Knowing Sophie, she absolutely would have cried and might not talk to me for a year or so if I had left without seeing her.“ I was actually rushing to look for you right, Sophie,” I responded as I turned over to give her a hug.“Oh really and just why don't I still believe you huh,” she stated as she pulled away from the hug, intently staring right at me with
Kiara POV “Well Kiara, just one last stop, and then we are done for the day,” Sophie said in excitement as we both walked out of I think the thirty-first or thirty-fourth store.Honestly, at this point I had lost count of how many shops we visited and how many dresses I had tried on and bought.I am seriously exhausted already, I don't think I can go on any longer.“Sophie it is free late, shouldn't we just go back now, I mean we already bought tons of clothes,” I said as I stared right at the stash of cloth packages the driver held as we left the store.“And there are still more orders that will be sent over in a week's time, I'm sure we have definitely spent the money in that black card well now,” I stated.“Well it's just one more stop okay and I specially picked this to be our last just for you,” she responded as she gave me the pity look.I am so exhausted, but it's simply one more shop right, I just need to pick some cloth and get the hell out of this craziness. Yeah, let's jus
Kiara POV “Well, cat got your tongue huh Kiara?” Nola asked as she smirked.Oh, just why did I have to see this crazy bitch here and of all days, today.“ Kiara, just who is the rude short lady?” Sophie suddenly asked with a smile on her face as she faced Nola fuming in anger.Yeah, she definitely hates getting called short huh, and Sophie is just the type to call people what they are.“Ohh right, Sophie meets the head of the Dark wood knives, Nola and Nola meets my elder sister Sophie,” I stated.“Ohh so this is the another blade sister huh, well, aren't you all so cute,” Nola said in are sarcastic tone as she smiled.“ Well you certainly aren't though,” Sophie responded with a smirk, as their eyes glared right at each other.Yeah, these two are certainly the worst mix and here I thought the last shop would be peaceful and end quickly, and I can finally go home.I guess that's goodbye to that dream huh.“ Well it is a surprise to see you here, most especially, seeing this is your de
Kiara POV “Kiara, what exactly happened on that island?” Sophie questioned in a mad tone. “Well you see_” Well, there is no point hiding it now, might as well just come out with the truth. “So let's just say_” I said as I continued my explanation and after what I would call a gruesome twenty minutes with Sophie's face changing expressions like crazy, I finished describing everything that happened on the island. “And then we all flew right back here,” I said, ending my explanation. “What the hell?” she voiced right out. “ Big sister, just calm down, okay, I promise I didn't really kill that many people,” I said, trying to calm her rage right down. “You almost died?,” she asked out. “Wait what?” I responded confused. Wait, so she isn't mad about anything except me getting almost killed at my arrival? “Oh hell no, I'm definitely going to kill that lady now,” she voiced out as she instantly brought out her guns, pointing them straight at the lady, the black knights p
Kiara POV “Well isn't your sister a cute one, huh,” Nola stated as we all entered the car.“ Yeah she is, and I will kill you if you dare try anything with her, Nola,” I threatened, as I glared right at her.“Okay relax, I meant that as a compliment okay, I don't intend to do anything to her as long as she doesn't intend to harm the Darkwood,” Nola responded with a smirk, her eyes fixed on me.“Well you both do relax, I don't need you two trying to kill yourself inside a car, okay,” silver stated.Now this is why I didn't want my sister anywhere of this crazy lady, now she will definitely be on her radar.But I don't think she can get anything on my sister though, Sophie doesn't even know about this job, so I'm not really that worried.But still, it is Nola Darkwood I'm dealing with here, it's best to keep her way far from my sister.I decided to ignore her and just focus on my phone, but then minutes passed, and her gaze was still right on me, just waiting for me to break.And final
Xander POV She finally opened up about the dream, that was a big step. I badly want to tell her what her dream could be about, since I have a fair idea.But the Kiara I know right now still doesn't trust me well enough, and if I rush in too quickly she will definitely leave me and rush right back into the hands of that monster she calls her father.I need just a bit more time for her to finally trust me, and then I can reveal the truth to make this her attempt to be a spy on me for that bastard finally come to an end.I require her to trust me even more, but she really is a hard one to crack I behave to admit, but not impossible, she is slowly opening now.And this new cute, vulnerable side of her is rather amusing, I have to admit, now it's obvious she will be quite late, let me make that call.I dialed Elder Silver number and then she picked“Good day, Leader,” she said.“ And hello silver, hope you are quite well?” I asked.“Yes Sir, is there an issue, you never call by this time,
Kiara POV I stood there silent at the scene, for the first time this weird dream seemed a little more clearer.And there little me stood panicking and shaking as a lady whose face I couldn't see grabbed me and suddenly started running as she bled crazily.BANG!And then she was shot right in her leg and fell instantly.“Kiara, you have to go on by yourself now, okay, my dear,” she muttered as blood suddenly spilled out her mouth.“Now Kiara, run! Run, Kiara!,” the strange lady voiced out as she pushed me right away from her.“ Don't worry ******* will be watching over you, Now Run Kiara!”“Just who will be watching me !!!” I voiced out in cold sweat as I woke right up from the dream.Ahh, my head hurts, I honestly hate this dream, I never get to know whose name the woman called, and it always leaves me with this throbbing headache that I can't seem to just get rid of.“Ahhh! This is so frustrating!” I voiced out in anger as I threw my pillow right at the door.“Well don't you seem fe
Kiara POV It didn't take quite so long and after an hour we were right at the suit's estate gate, they opened right up, and we drove right in.“And a good day to you, Mrs. Darkwood,” a butler standing right in front of the door said.“Good day to you, Mr.?” I paused, waiting for his reply.“Butler John ma'am, and Mrs. Beatrice is waiting already, so shall we?” he responded as he made a hand gesture right towards the door.“Of course,” I responded with a smile as I then turned right towards Mason.“And you were saying?” I asked with a smirk on my face, as I enjoyed his displeased look.Mr. John opened the door right up, and we made our way right in, and I should say it was quite a long walk in through the hallway, but eventually, we got to the final room.“Please just wait a minute now,” Butler John stated and then went right into the door.“Well, well, they really did accept our impromptu visit huh, that's definitely interesting,” Mason stated.“ Don't be too surprise head Mason, I j
Kiara POV “So Silver this really is the final list huh, no changes can be made again?” I asked, as I held the files close to my chest, praying this could actually be changed.“Yes, no changes can be made again, every guest on that list must unfortunately be invited personally by you,” she responded as I then instantly dropped my head right on the table.I probably should just die now right, I'm definitely going to be killed sooner or later anyway.“Also one more thing Mrs. Kiara.”“Yeah, what is it ?” I muttered as my head still laid flat on the table.Just what next huh, would I also have to bring gifts for them and then have a meal too, or maybe he wants me to play a game with the old family.“ I have been assigned to assist you on this,” she responded.“Wait what?” I asked as I instantly raised my head up in shock as she smiled at me.“Yes, the Boss says I'm to assist you in any way I can on this_And just before she could finish her sentence, I instantly hugged her tightly“Oh My
Kiara POV “Well then, since the introduction has been done, shall we get to the main agenda now,” I said with a smile as they all sat.“The annual ball we are to host is said to be dated December 30th, that means we have just a month to get everything ready and set.”“Nola, Scar, seeing you both really seem to like each other's company, you both will be put in charge of the catering service, Dan you will take charge of all the security of the ball,” I stated.“And just why are you putting me with this crazy bitch?” Scar questioned in a loud tone as she stood right up.“Well because I can, darling, now sit down, I'm not changing my decision understand,” I responded sternly.“Well Scarlett, I guess we are teammates huh, it will be a nice time to bond don't you think?” Nola asked with a smile on her face.“I hate you so much,” Scar responded, her eyes filled with anger as she stared at Nola.“Aww and I love you my sweet Scar and who knows, you might actually learn how to behave like a l
Xander POV “So Silver, were you able to find out more about that lady?” I asked as I made my way right to my office.“Nothing sir, just still the same obvious stuff on the dark web, seems like, no matter how much I try to dig into it, it's practically impossible to find out more on her sir,” she responded.Hmm, well, I wasn't expecting this to be easy, considering who she is, but just why would a lady like her help me get that envelope, it still just doesn't make sense.“And what about you Lilly, could you find out the reason she helped us so suddenly?” I asked.“Nothing sir, if there is one thing I know, she never helps unless it benefits her the most,” she responded.Hmm, well, I'm not surprised, especially since she is from that family too, but still, how could there be nothing on her even from her past.Just who is this lady really?“By the way, Lord Xander, is it really the best to leave Kiara there with those crazy heads?” silver asked with a concerned tone.“ Oh and just when
Kiara POV “Now I'm sure you all know just why you are here, right?” Xander questioned.“Yes, Boss,” they all replied in unison.“Good, so do explain to me just why I'm hearing more than 5 of my men are already hospitalized just by you guys arriving here just within an hour ?” he questioned with a stern tone as he stared right at Scar and Nola.They both instantly avoided his gaze, so as not to answer the question, I definitely feel Nola for sure started the fight judging from the little smirk showing on her face.“ I'm speaking to you both, so answer me, Scar, Nola, I'm waiting,” he stated.“ Well, Lord, it was Nola's fault,” Scar suddenly spoke out.“Yeah as if, and just what did I do huh Scar, you just decided to be over-tempered about a normal conversation, that is certainly not my fault,” Nola responded with a smirk.“How dare you, Nola,” Scar voiced out.“And just what was this conservation about?” Xander questioned and they both went silent again.“Mason talk,” Xander stated.“
Kiara POV We got into the car and then Xander drove right off.“So, my little princess, you intend to tell me about your adventure yesterday or what?” he asked as he smirked.Oh come on, here I thought he had forgotten about all that.“Well it wasn't much of an adventure, more like me being dragged around like a doll for dress up,” I responded as I let out a sigh.“ Well you seemed to have enjoyed it seeing you bought tons of stuff,” he said with a smile.“Enjoyed it huh, I tried more than 30 pairs of shoes in each mall, I do not call that enjoyment more like torture,” I responded as he then laughed.I can't believe he thinks this is fun, my legs still ache from all the pain of those shoes.“Well, is that all that happened?” he asked as he faced me.Hmm, now I don't think he needs to know I met Nola and silver, yeah he doesn't need to know that crazy details.“Yep, that's just about it, just shopping that's all,” I responded as I chuckled a bit, trying to hide my nervousness.“Really
Kiara POV “Run Kiara Run!!,”And yep, it's that weird dream again, and it came with the annoying headache this time too, I think I should just get used to this, since it definitely doesn't seem to be good away anytime soon.“And a good morning to you my little princess,” I heard a whisper right in my ear and of course I could tell instantly that it was Xander.“Good morning,” I muttered slowly as I turned to face him, with my hands right on my forehead as I slowly got up.“ Seemed like you had that dream again,” Xander stated.“Well, I kind of feel it's that annoying part of me I can't get rid of and just have to accept now or just I'd just ignore it,” I responded as I let out a little laugh.“Hmm okay,” he said staring at me strangely.And right there it hit me, just how exactly did I even get into my room, the last thing I remember was responding to Xander and then everything went blank from there“So, just how did I get up here?” I asked curiously.“Well, seeing you right up fell
