Thank you for reading. Please do drop me a beautiful gem if you're enjoying the story :-)
“Congratulations on your win in court Miss Frost, but please understand our concerns,” James said. Kiana had gotten an emergency call from Juliana about the board requesting an emergency meeting. Kiana wasn’t supposed to be at the office that day because of the launch preparations but upon hearing that, she rushed to Clear Cosmetics... All the board members were present except for Arthur and Kiana found that odd because when she woke up, she didn’t find him sleeping next to her. When she searched his huge house and still couldn’t see him, she called him only for his phone to go straight to voice mail. A part of her was worried to death until she met Tim as she was pacing back and forth. “Don’t worry miss, he just had an urgent business request to take care of.” “I have to leave now, please tell him about the urgent meeting,” Kiana said. ‘Just in case Angela is planning something and I’ll need backup.’ The thought crossed her as she rushed to get ready. “What Concerns are those Mr.
“Where have you been!” Kiana hissed under her breath. “I had an urgent meeting with my grandfather. I’m sorry baby, I usually leave my phone behind when I’m with him.” He kissed her hair. Kiana’s heart melted and all the anxiety she had been feeling went away. “I hope you won’t vanish into thin air by the time I’m stepping down from the stage.” Kiana squinted her eyes at Arthur who flashed her a smile. “I wouldn’t dream of it.” He winked at her and that made a blush creep up her cheeks. Arthur took her hand in his and placed a kiss on her knuckles, Kiana was rendered speechless as she pulled her hand back slowly and walked to the stage. As she stood and watched everyone present, her heart swelled with emotions because, in her previous life, the launch was not only a disaster, but Annabel was the one who gave the speech after Daniel convinced her that she would mess up if she went up there. “Welcome everyone. My name is Kiana Frost, It’s an honor to have you all present as you w
Kiana’s breath got hitched as she saw the beautiful ring. She didn’t expect it and she didn’t think he would even take her proposal seriously. “I’m the one who asked you to marry me, shouldn’t I be the one to hold the ring?” She teased. “Baby girl, there are a million things you’ll never have to do with me and one of them is kneeling before me. Unless my cock is in your mouth, the rest don’t apply.” Arthur responded. Kiana was glad it was dark because despite how vulgar what he had just said was, it turned her on and she was ashamed. She looked at the man she had fallen in love with over and over again. Tears swelled in her eyes as she nodded vigorously at him, “Yes! I will marry you.” Arthur slipped the ring on her left finger and stood. He pulled her so close to him it was like he wanted to merge them into one. “I love you so much.” He whispered as he pressed his forehead against hers. Kiana’s pounding heart continued to beat against her ribcage. She couldn’t believe he had f
Two months later……….. The news of Annabel’s death had been swept under the rag like Cade had told Kiana. A part of her felt sorry for her because one thing bothered her. She wanted to know why Annabel wanted to see her destroyed so badly. Sighing heavily, Kiana started her engine. She was going to meet up with Juliana for lunch so they could discuss the progress of Clear and strategize what they should do next. The board had finally seen how capable Kiana was and even when she finally mustered the courage to have the will read, everyone respected her request of not wanting to get married to Daniel WIlliams like her mother wanted. A part of her was afraid because Angela was nowhere to be seen and knowing her, she wouldn’t have stayed back and let everything go smoothly. ‘Was she killed too?’ She wondered. At first, she assumed Angela was the one who killed Annabel especially after betraying her and making her take the fall. To add on to their surprise, Angela had withdrawn fro
“You haven’t even touched your food for a while now.” Arthur, pointed out with a worried expression. “Did something happen?” He asked. Kiana, who was running the fork on her plate placed it down and looked at Arthur with teary eyes. “I’m just angry.” She said as the tears began to fall. “Did I do something wrong? I’m sorry baby, tell me what it is so I can fix it.” Arthur stood with a worried expression and crossed to Kiana’s side. Kiana, laughed through the tears as she sniffed, “No silly. You did nothing wrong.” “Then tell me who is causing my angel to cry and I’ll end them.” He threatened with clenched teeth as he held Kiana while she wrapped her arms around his waist. When Kiana had left the restaurant, she didn’t feel like going to her place so she said goodbye to Juliana and took a cab to Arthur’s house. He wasn’t around when she arrived but every staff member knew who she was. So, she didn’t need to introduce herself. Arthur was happy when he found her in his bed wearing
"I need you to help me trace a certain handwriting and find someone for me," Arthur said to Hayden over the phone. Hayden laughed before he responded, “This attachment you have, your fiancee might get jealous.” “Hayden, it’s serious. I think I was fooled.” Arthur breathed into the phone. Still struggling to believe his discovery and hoping he was wrong. “What do you mean? You’re not a person who can be fooled so.... “ Hayden asked with concern in his voice. But Arthur didn’t let him finish when he cut him off. “By my grandfather. He gave me a letter some years back, but I just asked Kiana about it and she said she didn’t write any letter. Six months ago she told me why she left me, but I was so busy in my thirst for revenge that I didn’t realize it until tonight.” Arthur admitted his mistake as he ran a hand through his hair. “Why are you so worked up over a letter? Do you think you ruined an innocent man?” Hayden asked as he tried to put the dots together. “No, I’m very sure a
Arthur had driven to the police station and was sitting in Cade's office. Hayden had sent him his findings and apparently, the man in the picture was Cade, Arthur hated him because of the interactions he witnessed during the Arrest of Daniel and Annabel. "Is there something I can help you with?" Cade asked when Arthur kept quiet as he threw daggers at him. "Kiana Frost. How do you know her?" He asked through clenched teeth. Arthur's heart was boiling at the thought of Kiana dumping him for Cade only for him to abandon her when she needed him the most. He planned on making him pay if his assumptions turned out to be true. "Kia? Why would you ask about that?" Cade eyed him suspiciously. He knew who Arthur Reed was. He also knew his reputation and how everyone feared to cross him, but for some reason, he hated it when others felt like they should be worshiped. "I ask the questions and you answer them. Unless you'd like some sort of motivation which I'll be more than happy to
A dry laugh escaped Kiana’s lips as if she had just heard a joke of the century. She looked at the man before her with cold eyes, “So, this was going to be some sort of reunion?” “What do you mean?” Joshua asked. “Arthur is my husband-to-be. The next time you have something as stupid as that to say about him, you better have a lawyer backing you because I’ll do much worse than he did!” Kiana spat coldly as she stood. Joshua panicked when he saw Kiana’s response. This was not how he had planned the whole thing in his head. “Kia,” “Don’t fucking call me that! Let me ask you a simple question, where the fuck were you when my mother was fighting for her life for ten years?” Her eyes were cold and the veins were popping out of her forehead from the anger that was threatening to be released. “I… I’m really sorry but it’s a long story my dear please-” Joshua stuttered but Kiana only laughed. “You can go to hell. Also, stay the fuck away from me unless you want Authur to take the remai
