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 “Knock!, knock,”“Who is it?” I asked as I got up from my bed.“I'm one of the maid ma, I am here to tell you that dinner is already served,” a voice from outside responded.“Okay, I will be on my way down soon,” I said, and then I heard her footsteps leaving.I really have not gotten the time to meet the maids in the house, but I will do so soon, it is just that this place is too huge, even taking a walk around is literally an exercise.I soon made my way downstairs to take my dinner.Xander should be on his way back by now, since I already got a message that they had captured Jack.I got down and there Daniel was already eating. “You do know it's courtesy to wait for the other person before you start eating, ” I said as I took my seat.“And a good evening to you, Kiara,” he said as he got up and came towards me.“And why are you coming towards me huh Daniel,” I said with a look of annoyance.“ Well to wait for your highness to finish eating before I start since it seems
KIARA POVA faceless man! I can't believe they actually removed his face, the Darkwood are known for how brutal they can be, but this is really extreme. “Xander, that man does not have a face anymore," I uttered. “Yeah , he was kind of very annoying and stubborn, so we had to deal with him a little," he said with a smile. A little, he calls this a little, I almost died because of his stupid attack, and he definitely deserves worse than this, but he just got here, and he already does not have a face.It is a little funny seeing him this way though and the jack I know would have been shouting but here he is looking so quiet.“Kiara is that you?” Jack said as he opened his eyes.“Yes it's me.”“Please help me,” he begged with his voice sounding like a beat down truck.“Help you?!, you bastard literally almost had me killed, and now you want my help.”“ The attack wasn't meant for you Kiara, it was for the man who forced you to get married to him.” “ I don't care who the attack was f
KIARA POV“Kiara, Kiara run you have to survive Kiara!!!” a strange woman said as she pushed me away from the fire burning.The voice pierced through my dream, shattering my subconscious and then I woke up.Ahh! not this dream again, I thought it had stopped for good since I didn't get any after the wedding, why is it back again argh!! My head hurts because of it.I looked around, and I realised Xander wasn't on the bed with me and also my body hurts but not so much this time.And the dream for the first time was much clearer and I heard more than just my name this time, I wonder why though and who is that woman calling my name.“Hmm, Kiara, all this thinking won't help anything right now,” I said to myself.I got up from my bed and went to take my bath, dressed up and then made my way downstairs. There I saw Xander cooking. He must really like cooking, huh, and that he intends to do this every time? We have maids so he doesn't need to but oh well if he enjoys it who am I to say no.
KIARA POV Eric Darkwood Huh, for an elder, he is very short. “Nice to meet you, too, Elder Eric,” I stated. "Ohh, no need to put elder, my dear; you can just call me Eric; you are the wife to our leader, so we are of course under you, he said still with the cunning smile on his face. Xander came close to me and whispered into my ears, “Yeah, definitely do not trust this one; he only does what benefits him, and if that means putting you to the ground, he will.” Really, huh? I'm not surprised, but are the elders that brutal? “Now don't just stand there, little princess; let's head inside and remember, never look weak in front of the elders no matter what,Xander said as he then held my hands and we all walked inside. And there it was again—that feeling of deja vu. For some weird reason, I just feel like I have definitely been here before, but I'm pretty sure this is my first time entering the Darkwood main house. As we headed inside, we were greeted by a lot of unfamiliar faces;
KIARA POVWe left the room and then started walking.“You did a great job little princess,” Xander said.“ Really??”“ Yeah the elders are constantly trying to put people down and you my little princess didn't allow that, so don't think too much about it that how they always are, it doesn't mean much.”Well, I can't be too sure about that, they definitely want me gone, their eyes passed that message clearly.And Eric Darkwood,does he have a hand in the assassination attack? And how dare he boldly threaten me.I thought it was just Jack being stupid, but it seems like there are other higher figures behind this.I really need to be careful now because I don't know who else is after my life.Xander pulled me close to him, it seemed like he noticed I was in a deep thought.“Little princess, don't think too much about it, okay, I'm here, and I will protect you,” he said.“Hmm thank you.”Thank you, Xander, but there is no way I'm trusting anyone with my life, I need to find more about the
Xander POVHmm, Kiara, really seemed bothered after Eric spoke to her, I hope that old bastard didn't say anything stupid.And I know if I ask her, she would definitely not tell me.“Hmm Xander sir, can you hear me?” of the elders said.“I can hear you, you may continue,” I stated.He continued his speech about, honestly I don't even know, it's a really weird speech.Hmm, this meeting is honestly taking too much time. Can they just get to the main point already?“Okay that's it, enough speeches, Abe why exactly are we here today,” I said.“Well, leader, the deal we were supposed to secure with the sharmans..”“Yeah what happened?” I asked.“Well, we have lost it to the bears,” he responded.“Seriously the bears, how exactly did we lose such deal to the bears!!,” I voiced out in a stern voice.The whole room went silent, then Eric spoke.“Well, it seems like someone let out the news that we had problems with the sharmans and then the blades and bears have been trying to get the deal ev
Kiara POVFinally, I'm back home, I made my way upstairs, taken my bath and then relaxed a little. Xander seemed to still be settling some issues about the Darkwood with Lilly downstairs.I wanted to hear what they were talking about, but I honestly needed to bathe and relax.Hmm, the Darkwood main house is massive huh and the 12 elders of Darkwood are really problems and the biggest would be Eric Darkwood.Lilly told me more about him, apparently he's an old man who likes to live in secrecy, he's married with kids but no one has even seen his family in years, he definitely hid his weakness well.I need to find out where exactly they are and there are only two people who can help me with this, the first is Xander, but there is no way I'm asking him for help and the second would be my elder sister Diane.I honestly don't like asking her for favors in particular, but I just have to this time, I made the call, and she actually picked.“Hey Diane, how are you?” I asked.“I'm good, so what
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
Kiara POV “Well, cat got your tongue huh Kiara?” Nola asked as she smirked.Oh, just why did I have to see this crazy bitch here and of all days, today.“ Kiara, just who is the rude short lady?” Sophie suddenly asked with a smile on her face as she faced Nola fuming in anger.Yeah, she definitely hates getting called short huh, and Sophie is just the type to call people what they are.“Ohh right, Sophie meets the head of the Dark wood knives, Nola and Nola meets my elder sister Sophie,” I stated.“Ohh so this is the another blade sister huh, well, aren't you all so cute,” Nola said in are sarcastic tone as she smiled.“ Well you certainly aren't though,” Sophie responded with a smirk, as their eyes glared right at each other.Yeah, these two are certainly the worst mix and here I thought the last shop would be peaceful and end quickly, and I can finally go home.I guess that's goodbye to that dream huh.“ Well it is a surprise to see you here, most especially, seeing this is your de
