Xander POV Just seeing the site of Grey's blood dripping in the Darkwood statue, I could already tell whose plan this certainly was.That bastard, Leo Blade, and seeing that he was smirking right now can only confirm it.Oh shit, I can't believe numerous things are going sideways this night, first the elders basically stopped me from having a good time with Kiara, now she basically hates me, so there is no way that's happening anytime soon.“Just what is this scar?” I questioned in a cold tone.“Well, sir, his body was found dead already behind the statue.”And now I'm guessing by this scene at least from around eighty percent of the people gathered here right now are beginning to plot my demise.Not like it's anything new, but still everything just feels too perfectly planned, and I doubt Leo was able to come up with something like this. No one else except silver and I knew of that file in the Red room, and there is no way she betrayed me and provided that information up to Leo.An
Kiara POV The drive back to the hall was silent, our breath sounding right was the wind blew through, I could feel his slight stares at me, but I chose to avoid them. I just can't face him right now without my eyes of hate, and I need him to believe I'm calm for now.Still, the only thought that ran through my head was how much of a fool I was for thinking the man I called my husband, the mortal enemy to my family, was actually in love with me.I gazed right at the starry sky as the wind blew right through my hair, honestly, this certainly was not the way the night was meant to go.I was just to get Diane's file, create an opportunity for Grace to kill Mr Grey, and then get back there.But now I found out that my husband actually knew I was a spy from the very beginning and still let me into his home, well now I see why most of my mission didn't turn out well, he basically b was playing around with me all through.And just what the hell are those strange photos of me with people I ha
Kiara POV My head ached even more as different flash memories rushed through my brain.Still everything un clear, blurry and even more painful as I tried to get rid of it.“Ahhh!” I called out in pain as I leaned on the floor.He then slowly tried walking right towards me,“Just calm down okay, you will be fine.” “Stay right where you are!” I voiced out as he froze his steps,“ Do not even dare move an inch closer to you,” my eyes stared right at him in anger as I tried to endure the pain.“Wife—“ Don't — Don't you dare call me that right now,” I said, cutting him right off, my anger grew even higher as I heard those words from his mouth.I slowly got a hang of myself again and quickly hid the envelope for my sister behind me, the last thing I need after this whole craziness is not actually getting what I came for.I slowly got up, and I almost lost my balance again, and Xander reached out to get me.“Don't you dare touch me!” I voiced out as he suddenly grabbed me right up.“Kiara y
Xander POV The whispers grew louder in the silence as everyone instantly became cautious of their surroundings as the light suddenly went out.Only one thought filled my head at that moment.Kiara, My wife.“Daniel the lights!” I voiced out as the lights instantly came right back on, thank goodness I actually prepared for such a situation.Knowing just how many enemies I have right now, I certainly knew one if not all would certainly pull some sort of stunt.My eyes wandered around searching for Kiara right as the lights came back on as the music continued.But she wasn't anywhere in the halls, I'm sure she was certainly dancing with silver and Mrs. Beatrice.Oh, shit! Don't tell me she was kidnapped?“Everyone Freeze!” I commanded, my tone blunt and cold as everyone stood to stare at me.“Silver, did you see my wife?” I asked, my heart tightening with each moment that passed.“Sir, I think she was —”“Search everywhere now!”My voice resounded through the hall as everywhere darkwood
Kiara POV Just the bastard I needed to talk to, I mean, I need to have a few words with him before he goes off to reunite with his son, right?“You look stunning as usual, Mrs Kiara,” he said, as he took my hands for a kiss.“And you seem to be doing very well now, Mr. Grey,” I said with a smirk on my face as I pulled my hands away and stared at his hands, which seemed to still be in pain.“Yeah, after your very interesting gift and parting gift, I made sure to get better, so I can gift you something beyond your imagination Mrs Kiara,” he responded with a smirk as his eye blazed in fury.I could tell he certainly came here to get back at me and I certainly was ready for him, but well, I doubt his be alive to do that seeing he would be dead in an hour time now.“So, are you enjoying the party yet, Mr Grey?” I asked as I tried to shift the subject.“Well I have to say, it is nice I guess, much better than most annual parties I have attended, especially the ones by the suits.” he scoffe
Kiara POV I walked around the hall searching for my father and eldest sister, and finally, I saw them, but they were with someone.And this person is certainly the last person I thought would actually even have any business whatsoever with the blade, not less my Father himself.Mason Darkwood,the outer head of the Darkwood snakes.Now, just why exactly is this snake talking and laughing with my family, huh?I walked right towards them with a smile on my face, as I tried to seem unfaced by the scene in front of me.“A lovely evening to you father,” I greeted with a smile as I went forward to hug him.“Good evening to my dear,” he responded with a very mischievous yet warm smile, I let go of my arms around him.I could tell everything about his plan was already set from that smile of his, and he was just waiting for me.So that's why he wanted to meet me so soon.“Well don't you look lovely dear little sister, your husband certainly has quite a taste I see,” Diane cut right in with tha
