Kiara POV “And a happy New Year to you, Sophie, you seem very bubbly right now,” I said as she released me right from the neck hug.“Well, of course I am, it is the start of a new year, so it's best to start it with joy, right?”Her words exposed in my mind, as I could only smile at her as I held the sadness that drowned me at that moment.There was no way I would tell her about what I had just discovered, I just can't spoil that joy of hers.And also, things certainly will get overly complicated if I tell her the whole truth, father certainly would hate that a lot.But I just feel so choked up right now, I really need someone to pour out myself too, and she would be the perfect person to listen to my tears, but I can't.I would rather not drag Sophie deeper into the really messy mafia world, it might just break her totally.“Hey Kiara, are you good?” she shook me a little, her voice bringing back from my dazed mind.“Yeah, I'm good,” I responded softly with a smile.“Hmm well okay t
Kiara POV Now, let me guess exactly what my dear elder sister wants to talk about right now.It certainly won't be about how the new year will be, and neither will it be about anything emotional nor chummy and stuff.So yeah, it certainly should be about what she wants.“So you have my file now or would I have to wait another year to get them, huh, dear sister?” she grinned as she slightly chuckled.Did she seriously think she was funny right now, I really feel like punching her.“ You know I truly wish I could punch you right now, you know,” I smiled widely as my eyes glared right at hers, “just like a special new year present for me.”“Aww that's so cute, well, you could try to,” she responded with a smirk as she then closed the gap between us, leaving so space left, “but I assure you, you would certainly regret it dear sister and I doubt you would want to start a new year on a terrible tone right?”Ohh, if only she knew I already started this new year in a terrible tone, and I rea
Kiara POV After a few minutes of having that fake picture perfect smile on my face as I walked around with Xander. It was finally time for his speech, and then we both walked to the stage, just thankful I wasn't the one who needed to say too much. Now I'm just really curious about what he would say, especially with this whole Mr Grey's death situation on the Darkwood statue.I mean they were all acting calm and cool after the entire incident, but I know better than to trust these crazy people because certainly beneath those calm smiley faces right down, are sharp daggers ready to attack at any slight chance.As his wife, I was the one meant to introduce him up to the stage and as much as I didn't want to I just had to, and I really practiced for this since I was excited about it before.He finally let go of my hand and walked to the mic.“Well hello everyone, I hope you all are having a great time and enjoying this ball, now then it's just about to be midnight, so I'm sure you all
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
