Kiara POV The meeting soon came to an end and then everyone began to leave to their respective space.“And how was the escort with the other heads?” Xander asked.Okay, I can do this, I just need to act natural but not too natural, or he certainly would suspect something is going on.“Okay, I guess,” I responded, with no hint of emotion on my face.“Hmm well that's good,” his eyes, staring right at me.I could tell he was trying to see where my head was at, and I made sure to still look like I was still in disbelief a little.“Well, are you ready to talk now, Kiara?”Ready? Of course, I am most certainly not, nobody would ever be ready to listen to lies concerning their parents.But I have to act calm and cool right now.I took a deep breath, “let's just talk about this when we get home, I still have lots to do here today and from the look of things,” I stared right back to see both Lilly and silver waiting for him, “seems like you have a lot also.”I got right up, my face still emot
Kiara POV A few minutes passed of me fully ignoring every of this other attempts to piss me off, and finally, we were right back to the main house.“Well then that definitely was not a nice ride, so bye then,” I stated with a smile as I came right out, and walked away.He let out a slight chuckle,“No, thanks for the ride, huh!”His words froze me. I stopped my steps. Is he being serious right now?I turned right back as I stared at him with eyes rolled, “Don't you have a meeting you are meant to be in right now ?”He got right out and then walked right up to me, “Yes I do and son, do you right?”Yeah, I am supposed to be in the meeting also, but I don't think Xander would expect me to be there.Well, not after the whole ordeal of last, but wouldn't it be nice if I was there, huh.I mean, he certainly would be surprised, and I do need to make it believable that I am willing to hear and trust him out.I let out a gentle smile, “well then I guess we should both be on our way now huh.”M
Kiara POV A few minutes had passed, and I can't believe he was still persistently trying to get this information off me.“So do you intend to tell me the truth or just deny everything all the way through Kiara?” he asked.“ Don't you have an important meeting to get to, you do know that Xander does not condone late arrivals right? ” I asked do right , as I made sure to show no hint of losing this fight, this was definitely a battle of wits, and I certainly do not intend to lose it.He slightly chuckled, his eyes still fixed on me, “ Yes I certainly don't want to go late, but I'm sure you more than me need to get there quickly, right?”What? Just how could he tell I really needed to get back quickly? This man certainly is cunning, huh.I smiled, trying to hide my discomfort as time truly was running out and soon Xander would certainly notice my too long absence.Especially if Sliver gets to the main house before me and he asks her questions.“ And just why do you think I'm in such a h
Xander POV I could tell they certainly were not happy about the short speech just now, as they couldn't even hide it in their face that they were offended by my words.And it seems like they are expecting an apology of some kind.I let out a sight chuckle as I really found this so funny, do they really think I would apologize to them?Well, I certainly have been too free and smiley with these old bastards, my right hand beneath my chin as my eyes glared right down at each one of them slowly, “Lilly, you can begin reading now.”“Yes, sir,” she responded swiftly as I closed my eyes to listen.“Well, the meeting today is being held because of the incident that happened during the annual ball night, the incident concerning the death of Mr. Grey.”A sudden scoff echoed around the room,“Lilly, stop.”I opened my eyes right up,“ Who did that?”The room was silent, all of them avoiding my eyes, but I could tell from just one look who exactly did it.I stared right at the culprit, none other
Xander POV I sat staring right in front of my desk filled with various new guns to choose from, but I seriously couldn't care less about that right now.My mind raced through several thoughts, all about Kiara and her reaction the other night.I definitely noticed she was more upset at my reaction towards her, but I had no choice.No matter how calm I sounded, she certainly would not have given me a single hearing ear.Now that she listened a little bit, she certainly seemed to have despised me even more.Geez this is so stressful, I couldn't help but run my hands through my head as I was fully frustrated and mad about the situation, “Ahh shit.”Leo Blade, that devil, just how exactly am I going to make Kiara fully believe that he truly is the enemy?That man seemed to have seriously done a good job of brainwashing her, she practically sees him as a God.And I'm quite sure it won't be long before she decides to go tell him everything, and then she certainly will be in danger, as I'm d
Kiara POV The drive was silent and peaceful, which was something I should definitely be happy for, but it just made me even more uncomfortable. I knew deep down that Mickey certainly didn't just want to ride with me, he absolutely wanted to know something, and I'm more so sure that whatever it was is something Diane certainly wants to know too. And I most certainly will not cave in, no matter what. But seriously, this silence is becoming even more choking with each passing second, but I can't speak first, or it would seem like I had already caved.“So I haven't wished you a happy new year yet, right?” He asked, his voice cutting the silence finally, I let out a short smile of relief as I was glad he spoke first.If it was a second later, I certainly would have said something.“Well happy New year Kiara,” he stated.“And a happy new year to you too, I guess.”The car slowed a bit as Mickey gave me a side stare, you guess?”“Yes, I guess,” I responded with a smirk.“He let out a li
