XANDER POV
I stared outside the car window watching the London night city, my mind wasn't on the city noise, but on her Kiara. It has been years, but finally I saw her again, my childhood friend. She still had that spark in her gorgeous golden eyes and she grew even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. “Xander, Xander!,can you hear me?” lily page called out. “Yeah I can hear you, so what's the update on the traitor that betrayed us?” “He has been captured and is being brought in for questioning.” Lily stretched her hands to pass the paper files. “So Xander, is she really the one you have been looking for?” “ Yes, she is, honestly I wasn't sure after receiving the information before but after seeing her today I'm definitely sure she is the one.” I let out a soft laugh. “Hmm, how sure are you that they are not trying to trick you?” Lilly uttered. “Stop asking too many questions and focus on the work you have at hand Lilly." I said opening the door of my car. Already at the Darkwood Society headquarters, Lily is still explaining the situation about the traitor that has been captured. “So what I'm hearing is that the guy was the one that leaked out the last business trade and the reason we lost 1 billion pounds,” I yelled. “Yes sir,” Lily answered swiftly. “Alright bring the traitor to my office for interrogation.” “But sir we already did that," Lily uttered as we entered my office. “And has he confessed the main culprit's name?” “No he has not,” she replied with her face laced with disappointment. "Just bring him here.” I declared with a stern voice. As I sat on my chair, the traitor known as Jack was brought in, soaked in his own blood, proof that he has been sternly pondered and interrogated. “Who put you up to this?" I asked, grabbing him up. “It was an elder from the blade mafia family.” Jack confessed with his voice shaking. “I'm not surprised that they would pull this kind of trick, after all that is what they are known for.” "But you, a Darkwood member, dared to betray us, you do know what happens to people who betray in this mafia family right?” I said, throwing him back down as wrath seethed beneath my voice. “Please, Please! Have mercy on me.” He cried out as they dragged him out of my office to be executed. Door's closing off “Are you sure you still want to move forward with the marriage treaty even after discovering what the blade's did again?” Lily asked while moving towards my table to hand me the remaining files. “Of course I do, I'm already used to the blade mafia family tricks and I was expecting something like this already.” "Hmm, okay if you say so,” Lily replied with a displeased look. I honestly can't be bothered with her look right now , I need to find a way to get back the money I lost quickly and also pick the date for the wedding and where it will take place. “Xander, is it true, is she really the one?” Daniel shouted as he burst through my doors. " Yes Daniel she is , but seriously you barging into my office anytime you desire just because you are my younger brother is getting pretty annoying,” I replied with a stern face. “Sorry.” He replied silently sitting on a chair. “Lily, excuse us now." Signalling her to go finish up the punishment for the traitor. “Okay sir.” She uttered as she left the room. “Now then Daniel should you not be training for your final mafia test at this moment.” I stated as I continued scrolling through the files on my desk. “I'm actually done with my training for today. That's why I rushed over here , so tell me how is she ?” He asked eagerly. “She looks beautiful as ever and actually has a very petite body” I uttered with a smirk on my face. “Ohh really?” He asked as brought his chair closer looking at me with an eager face. “Yeah and she had a very deadly but beautiful gaze and her aura was just mesmerising.” “Tell me more.” Daniel voiced as he moved his chair closer. “That is all you need to know Daniel.”I said as I pointed towards the door for him to leave. He quickly understood and got up to leave. “Right, Daniel before you go." “Yeah what?" He asked “I need you to work with Lilly to find the perfect venue for the wedding, okay." “Okay but you do know I don't really get along with Lily, right?" He muttered. “Yeah I know and I don't care, just get it done.” “But she is honestly so rude," he uttered. “But she gets the job done, so just do what I say okay." “I will.” he sighed leaving my office. “Finally I can focus,” I exhaled. As I try to focus on my remaining work for the day , Kiara just keeps pumping into my thoughts and no matter how hard I try I could not get her out, but how could I when I remember her stunned face when she first saw me, she looked so divine with her long red hair. The way she walks, sits, smiles and even frowns is just perfect in every way. Even when she stared at me with such a deadly gaze , I could only be mesmerised at how beautiful those golden eyes of hers were. At how slender her figure is and how even with such a small body she has such the eyes of someone that can murder her enemy without remorse. I honestly can't wait for her body and soul to be finally mine. “I just can't stop thinking about her.” I sighed as I faced the unfinished files on my desk. “Knock knock, sir, your dinner is ready,” a maid called out. “Okay, I will be there soon,” I replied. “I guess I will have to finish this tomorrow then,” I murmured to myself as I closed the files and left for the dinning.KIARA POV“Kiara,Kiara!!”“What?!” I shouted as I woke up from the strange dream again.“Ohh my God, not this same weird dream again,” I voiced out as I got up from my bed.These dreams just keep reoccurring lately and it's really just stressing me out. I have lots of things to prepare for and I seriously just want this annoying dream to stop.For some reason, it's been coming up more than usual ever since I was told about my wedding with the Darkwood leader.“Knock, knock, good morning ma’am I'm here to serve your breakfast,” a maid outside stated.“Take it back for now, I want to train first before eating, okay? ” I sat on my chair as I replied to her.“Sure ma'am, but is everything alright?" She asked in a worried tone.“I'm fine, I just need to clear my head before eating all that." “Okay ma’am.”I get why the maid sounded worried. Normally I would just eat breakfast now and then train midday but I really just needed to clear my head of these weird dreams with training this morni
KIARA POVFinally, it was the day of my wedding, sounds of preparation everywhere and some guests had begun to arrive.“Kiara quickly go have your bath, you know we are already behind time," Sophie let out.“Okay I'm going." I had my bath and came out, Sophie already brought the dress in and the dress was breathtaking.She helped into the exquisite gown, carefully securing each button of the dress.“You look gorgeous, Kiara.”My eyes sparkled as I saw myself in the mirror. “Thank you Sophie, the dress is perfect.”I honestly never cared about the dress I would wear but wow, the dress was beautiful, it completely flattered my petite figure perfectly, Sophie really must have gone beyond to get this dress.We spent a few minutes on the makeup and then it was time to wear the jewellery.“I can't wait for you to see the necklace, Kiara," Sophie voiced out as she walked towards me with the box and guided me to sit down.She wore the necklace on me and it was stunning, it was a golden neckla
KIARA POV It took about an hour for us to get to this mysterious location I know nothing about, it was a little villa along the ocean side and it was actually really peaceful.Now I see why he said somewhere with just us two because this place was dead silence, nothing to hear except the sound of waves in the ocean.We parked in front of the house and then the silence broke again.“So little princess, do you like it?” Xander asked as he faced me.Honestly the place was perfect, the villa and the view was just warm and welcoming but there is no way I'm gonna admit to that in front of him.“Well it's okay I guess," I uttered.He let out a light laugh and then he smirked again. Ahh! I seriously hated when he does that, it was like he sees me as a little girl.He got out of the car and then came towards my side to get it open for me. At Least he has been behaving as a proper gentleman since I got married to him.“I want to hear your reply again once you have seen the inside." He handed t
KIRA POV I obviously knew what he was talking about when he said it's his time to eat but I still wanted to play ignorant and try to escape the situation. “Well didn't you cook for yourself?" I asked, trying to play ignorant. "Ohh I did, dear and now I want to eat my dish.”he replied as he moved his hands up to my waist. “Okay then, let me leave you to it.” As I tried to escape from his grip he pulled me closer and held me tight. He then whispered softly into my ear,“now stop trying to act unaware of what I mean little princess okay.” I know we are married now and I was expecting this but now that it is finally time, I honestly just feel shy and I don't even have any romantic feelings for him. He suddenly kissed me and I was too weak to even withdraw. It was a slow but intense kiss, our lips slowly dancing with each other's, his hands caressing my waist and again I'm feeling weak in this man's embrace. It was like my whole body was drowning in his and then it became
KIARA POVAs I made my way downstairs I heard Xander's voice and it seemed he was on call.It sounded so serious and I knew at that moment that this was something I definitely wanted to report.I walked down a little making sure I was as quiet as possible so I could clearly hear what the discussion was about.“We have to find a way to get them to sign the business deal. Okay,we can't let them slip from us this time,” Xander said, still on the call.“You know we can't let this oil deal with the sharmans pass us by at a time like this, We need this to recover from the damage that traitor caused us recently,” he said with a stern voice.Ohh so that's what this about, I remember was it a month ago father talked about wanting to sign an oil deal with the sharmans but they said they had already found some other gang that match their full requirements.So the other gang was the Darkwood huh, but since they are having issues right won't it be a perfect time for the blade to swoop in, get the
KIARA POVIt was a private airplane specifically used for skydiving. I can't believe the surprise was a skydiving date. I was literally stunned. Not only that, but I could not believe that this man just planned a skydiving date within just a few hours after I told him that it was one of my most loved hobbies.I mean this was outstanding, but it was also crazy, I mean who just plans a skydiving date within hours and actually gets it done. Even my family would not be able to pull this off, it would take at least 4 days for them to get everything ready, this is just beyond words.“Surprising little princess,” Xander said.I was still amazed at what I was seeing and didn't bother to reply to him.Seeing how I was stunned, he then dragged me towards the airplane and then said, “stop staring and get inside.”We boarded the plane and then took off to air. I was so excited since it had been quite a while since I had skydived.There was only one instructor, since we both already knew how to sk
KIARA POV“Except whom,Kiara?” Xander asked.“Except Jake Don.” I said with a sign of annoyance.“Jake Don, you mean Marssel Don son, the future leader of the Don syndicate?” Lilly asked.“Yes, that Jake Don.” I responded. “But the Don's are an Italian Mafia, and they would not dare try such a thing in London,” Xander stated. “Well if the rumors I heard about Jake are right, this is something he can definitely do, there are rumors saying he is a crazy guy who isn't concerned with the repercussions of the thing he does,” Daniel said.“Yes, he is certainly crazy, I for sure know that,” I said.Xander faced me and asked“And why exactly does he want to have our heads and how do you know him?” “Because I'm his ex and the bastard kind of swore that he would kill any man I got close to apart from him after I had dumped him 6 months ago.”“What?!” Xander exclaimed.“I didn't really think he meant it, I can't believe he would actually try to kill me.”Honestly, I haven't seen the crazy guy
XANDER POVIt didn't take long for Lilly and my men to find the whereabouts of that idiot jack.“Xander, one of your men has spotted Jack at a casino in one of the downtown street of London,” she said.“ Okay tell him to stay back and keep and eye on Jack without being too noticed, we make our way there immediately," I responded.“ Okay and should they attack immediately when they get there?” I got into the car and then said,“no they should all just wait for my command, I really would like to have a talk with this jack first.”“Okay Sir,”We then made our way to the downtown casino. “Lilly, you have called the Dons and told them to forget they ever had a son named Jack right?” I asked with a stern voice. “Yes, sir, I have.”“Good, now let's go see our new friend Jack.”It didn't take too long, and we arrived at the casino and as luck would have it, it just turned out to be an old friend of mine who owns this particular one.“Lilly tell our men to get in place and also go tell the o
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
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
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 pointed theirs right a
