Kiara POV As Xander drove, I peacefully enjoyed the sweet silence and scent of road air. And suddenly, his phone rang. “Yeah, hello,” Xander said as he picked the phone. “Hmm okay and what are they saying about it now,” he asked, still on the call. “You know for a bunch of old folks they really do like playing with fire,” he said in a stern tone. I really wonder what's up. “Okay then we are on our way now,” he said and then the call ended. “So, where exactly are we on our way to, Xander?” I asked curiously. “ Dark wood main house.” “What? Why?”. But it's not time to go yet, so why?” I asked. “Well that's because the old family decided to start the final bidding for the land tomorrow, and we were just informed,” he responded Wow, just wow, so they decide to pull this stunt when I am now just enjoying myself properly. “ Okay, it is definitely so clear that they are trying to remove you guys from the final bidding,” I muttered. “Yes it is, so buckle up swee
Kiara POV After a few failed attempts, attacks and scratches, they finally all calmed down and settled.“Well then, shall we start the team's first group meeting then,” Nola said.“Yep,” we all responded in unison.“ I'm pretty sure you all have heard of the old family and well most of us hate them, but they do have solid on the kind lands here, so listen up guys, the old family have thing they do were when they decide to sell a land to the mafias here they hold a week-long vacation for everyone to bid their prices and the highest bidder wins,” she said with a smile.“Well that's what it looks like on the outside, but it's basically a death show for them to see who is ready to kill for the land, so everyone there, including the old family, are enemies of ours the moment we get into that house,” she stared.“So we are going to kill too, huh?” Daniel asked.“Of course, it won't be an old family bidding show if we don't, just be careful of everything, there is no limit to what method yo
Kiara POV “The plan is to do nothing Mickey,” I said with a smirk.“What?”“You heard me right, do nothing, with the way things are going, I'm very sure we won't be able to bid for the land, ” I responded.“And why is that Kiara?” he inquired curiously.“Well let's just say, with everything going on here, I'm pretty sure the old family definitely will do anything not to leave the lands in the Darkwood hands, so we can just sit and enjoy the whole show, ” I replied with a smile.“Hmm well that is true but are you sure this is not you just having second thoughts ?” he asked, staring right at my eyes trying to pry the truth from me.I must admit, I really don't want to be the cause of Xander not getting this land, but I also don't want to fail my father, so it's better I just sit back and do nothing.But I don't need Mickey knowing that, he is my father's man, I can't trust he will keep my secrets.“ I'm not having second thoughts Mickey, I know my duty and I intend to fulfil them, but
Kiara POV We all got down from the plane and then walked towards where our ride was and then got seat, and we all drove off.The place was an island called Star island in London, since it was shaped like a star and is separated from the main city, and its houses are mainly owned by governments, Top Mafias and London olds families.“Well then guys, we should be getting there in about thirty minutes,” Nora said as she then faced her phone and so did everyone.I decided to watch a little video online and more than an hour had passed, I noticed we still hadn't stopped and so did the other's.“Hey everyone, I'm pretty sure thirty minutes have passed right now, so why haven't we stopped,” Daniel whispered quietly so as not to alarm the driver.Nora instantly looked at the windows and then said,“ Ohh shit, guys jump out of the car right now!”We all immediately jumped out of the car at her call and then BOOM!The car exploded.“Are you fucking kidding me? Did they just try to kill us in a c
Kiara POV “Oh, please tell this is a joke Kiara?” Nola asked, her eyes raging with anger.“Hmm, well, seems you all are busy right now, so I will excuse myself, see you all later then,” Daniel said as he smirked and then walked off with his men behind him.Ohh I can't believe this bastard, why did he have to talk right now and Nola is really not in a good mood, and I would rather not deal with this crazy bitch on my first day here.“Well, seems like your little secret is out now, good luck then, Kiara,” Mickey whispered into my ears and then walked inside our house.We all got inside and then the talk started.“Ohh so care to explain your relationship with the future head of the Grey's Kiara?” Nola said, her eyes still blazing with anger.“Okay jeez, he's my ex and so what ?” I responded.“So what! Are you kidding me, your ex if Daniel Grey, do you know how messed up that person is?” she voiced out in anger as she asked.“Yeah I do, 98 kills, been in prison 34 times, 134 assault case
Kiara POV I rested for a little while, and then I heard a knock.“Who is it?” I asked, as I said on my bed.“It's your butler, your royal highness, I'm here to deliver your royal tea,” Daniel responded in a sarcastic tone.I'm pretty sure he feels so funny right now, huh.I got up from the bed and then walked towards the door to open it and he stood there with the tea on a tray he held.“May I come in, your highness?” he asked with a smirk on his face.“Well you may come in I guess,” I responded.“I do hope you enjoy your tea then your highness,” he said.“Okay that's enough with the sarcastic talk, one more and I might just kill you,” I threatened.“Sure thing, boss,” he responded as he smiled with his hand in the air as a sign of compliance.“So Kiara, your hand, it is much better now, right?” he inquired. “Of course it's totally fine, I'm not weak you know,” I responded, raising my arms up to show him I was fully healed. “Hmm well then, I'm glad and truly relieved,” he said as
Kiara POV I slept for a while until a knock woke me up. “Yeah, who is it?” I asked as I yawned. “Your special butler, your highness.” I could already tell it was Daniel, seeing he still won't stop with his sarcastic jokes. “And what is the matter?” I asked. “You do know it's pretty late already right, and we are going to have dinner with everyone in about an hour right?” Ohh shit, I can't believe I actually slept off so peacefully. “I get it, I'm coming okay,” I responded as I instantly got up. “Okay, your highness,” he said sarcastically. I immediately went to take my bath and then got dressed. I decided to wear a dark emerald gown and then packed little piece my red hair with a golden pin and then let the rest flow down. So glad I always listened when Sophie talks about hair stuff, now it's come in handy “Thank you, big sis,” I muttered softly as I held my hands together. I did my final touches, and finally, I was ready, and I heard a knock once again. “
Kiara POV What!!Why the hell is Diane standing right in front of me?, wasn't she on a mission before I left, just how and why?Various questions raced through my head as I stood frozen in front of her.“ Aren't you going to answer your elder sister, huh?” she said with a smile on her face.What? Does she really expect me to answer her right now.“Well,” she said, her eyes fixed on mine and I could feel the stares from everyone in the hall at that moment on us both.“Of Course I did, big sister,” I responded as I accepted her open hug, and then I tightened it.“Okay that's it Diane, what exactly are you playing at here huh, first you bring that crazy ex stalker, and now you come here, what is your plan?” I inquired as I whispered into her ears.“Nothing really Kiara, just a big sister trying to spend time with her younger one, now be a good little girl and smile, do not misbehave here, understand,” she responded as released herself from the hug and stared at me with a smile and then
Kiara POV An hour passed, and finally, we were both right at the old family estate.“Well then my little wife, this is where we say goodbyes,” he stated as the doors unlocked.“You know if I don't come out of this unscratched, then watch out for me, okay, Xander,” I threatened as I got right out the car.“Well then I guess I should go get prepared now, seeing you most definitely will come out of this fully safe,” he responded with a smirk and then drove right off.Ohhh I can't believe I'm actually doing this, I might as well get it over with quickly, hope I don't die in this oddly colored house.Okay, seriously I really think, all old family members just have some distressing taste in picking stuff because just what is with this colour, it's certainly not purple, it's kind of a little bit brownish.All I know is that it is absolutely an awful colour to use in an estate.I walked right into the gate and was then escorted by a few old family members right towards the main door, and I c
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
