Kiara stopped in her tracks immediately and asked herself to calm down. Once she pulled herself together, she turned around and said, "You forced me to come back home but you can't force me to sleep with you, Icarus.""How will your father feel about his daughter not even wanting to stay in the same room as her husband?" Icarus said.Kiara understood what he was trying to say and clenched her teeth, "Are you trying to threaten me?""I am not trying. I am threatening you." He said, "You are in my house and my wife. You will have to obey me unless you want divorce papers and contract termination sent to your father."Kiara glared at him but at last gave in. She walked up to the bed and climbed up. She laid down at the edge with her back turned against him.The room fell silent again and she could hear the crickets croaking outside. She closed her eyes when unexpectedly, he spoke up, "Are you asleep?"Kiara's mind went blank when she heard his question; she was not in the mood to reply s
"No, I too came just now." Kiara said, signalling for the girl to come inside. Sophia smiled and went straight to Icarus, she bought him some fruits and asked him about his health.What no one noticed was Luke awestruck in his spot. Without thinking anything, he got up from his seat and crashed their conversation, "Hey. Is this your friend?"Sophia stopped talking and looked over at Kiara, who explained, "Oh, you two must not know each other. She is Sophia, my best friend and manager. We have all known her since high school.""I see." He extended his arms to her and said, "I am Luke Bernard. It's nice to meet you."Sophia grinned and said, "Sophia Green."He said, "Kiara never told me she had such an attractive friend." This made the girl giggle and Robin raised an eyebrow. The beta noticed the way he was looking at her and felt that something was very usual.After talking for a while, Kiara said, "We will be off then. Please take care of yourself." She was about to turn around when S
The whole crowd cheered up when they caught a glimpse of Icarus, he rarely came out in public, let alone to events like this so it got everyone pumped up. Luke, like usual, shook hands with the crew members and was already comfortable with them but the latter did not even open his mouth to speak with them. He had this inapproachable aura around him that forced everyone to tread carefully around him.The three of them were taken to sit down on the main table, they were way far away from Kiara’s table but the girl could not take her eyes off him.“Stop staring at him. You are gonna creep him out.” Sophia whispered in her ears, reminding her to withdraw her gaze.She asked, “What the hell is he doing here?”“I don’t know.” Sophia shrugged, “Maybe he was invited…”She furrowed her eyebrows, the man never attended these kinds of events but at the end of the day, he was the unpredictable Icarus.The producers were enthusiastically telling the men about something and Icarus did nothing but n
"Oh my God, Icarus! You scared me." Kiara held her chest, she was genuinely startled when she saw the man lurking in the dark. Her comment made Icarus smirk, he twirled the glass in his hand and asked, "Of course, I will scare you. You have other me to make you happy." "What? What are you trying to say?" Kiara knitted her eyebrows together. Icarus lifted his eyes to look at her, his pupils were red, "Don't try to act dumb, Kiara. You know exactly what I am talking about." Kiara stumbled back a little, the look in his made her feel far more unsafe. She clutched her skirt and looked away, "I don't know what you are talking about." “You don’t know what I am talking about?” Icarus said calmly before smashing the glass on the floor. He stood up from his seat and screamed, “You fucking don’t know what you have done?” “Ahhhhh.” Kiara covered her ears and stumbled back on her heels when he smashed the glass. Her eyes involuntarily filled up with tears as she looked at Icarus, his wolf was
Icarus, who was about to walk away with his gang, stopped when he heard Vanessa’s words. In a cold tone, he asked, “What did you say about her?”The girl did not expect him to be so angry, she said, “What? Am I not telling the truth? My father picked her up from the orphanage; if not for him, she would not be here, let alone be friends with the rich kids. She doesn’t belong in our circle. You are wasting your time by being with her, she can never be one of us.”Everyone present in the field gasped and wanted to see what was to unfold now. Icarus said, “So what if she is an orphan, she is a much better human than you could ever be.” “Icarus!” Vanessa did not expect him to be so harsh with his words. She tried to make him stop but the boy continued, “I like Kiara for who she is, even if she was not here today, I would still find her amongst the crowd and be with her. And, I don’t give a fuck about the so-called circle you are talking about. I would choose her over everyone and everythi
Kiara blushed for a while and looked back at the sky, despite this she could not hide the love and devotion clouding in her eyes. She said, "I think it is time I let you know." Icarus shut his laptop and asked, "Tell me, what is it?" "Promise me you won't tell Darren about it." Icarus pursed his lips and nodded; Kiara was a bit nervous to say it out loud to anyone. She had been keeping her love for Darren a secret since she was a kid. She took a deep breath and said, "I like Darren." "..." Icarus fell silent and did not say a word, confusing the girl. She looked at him and noticed that he had a mask of utter shock on his face. She could not help but cover her face out of embarrassment, "Stop looking at me like that, I am shy." Icarus blinked and turned away, his voice low as he asked, "Since when?" "As long as I remember. Just like you." She replied, closing her eyes and thinking about all the years she spent loving him from the shadows. Judging by Icarus's expressions, she co
All the way, Vanessa kept nagging her about how the dress didn’t look good on her and how she was being desperate for his attention. But none of them reached Kiara’s ears as she was busy looking at her phone, making sure that she remembered her speech correctly.The driver dropped them at the hotel entrance and the two girls were amazed to see how crowded the place was. Kiara was genuinely surprised how Icarus let his brother invite these many people. Vanessa parted ways to be with her friends leaving Kiara all alone, she took this opportunity to go ahead and find the boys.Sophia was already out of town and won't be here to keep her company tonight. She looked everywhere but could not find Icarus anywhere, she furrowed her eyebrows and picked out her phone to call him when someone interrupted her."Hey. You made it!" Darren, who was wearing a white shirt and holding a glass of alcohol, said. Kiara immediately forgot what she was doing and turned all her attention to him. She tucked
The balcony was empty as people were busy inside and despite the heavy party going on in the other room, this place was relatively calm. Kiara felt a lot better as she inhaled the fresh air and said, “Gosh, you were right. It feels a lot better here.”She kept her hands on the railing and watched the view below; they were on the topmost floor of this hotel and could easily see the whole city from there. She could not help but tell him how beautiful the scenery was.“I told you.” The man leaned on the rails and looked at the sky, “This is why I love to party. You get to experience both calmness and chaos in one place. So sad I failed to make my brother experience this.”Kiara was pulled speechless; she had always seen Darren as this cheerful guy who never cared about anything. It was her first time seeing him a little low, she said, “Hey, it’s not your fault. Icarus… he is just too antisocial to understand this.”“I know… But I hoped to change it for one night.”Kiara bit down on her l
