Kiara's mind went blank, she picked up the document and went through the list all over again lest she made any mistake. Sadly, she did not, and all the companies and individuals were indeed associated with Vuron Corps.Her face went pale as that of a ghost, why did Icarus do that?Her father had a heart failure and was close to dying because of this!She fell back on the bed, not knowing what to do. There was only one thing circulating around her head…Why did Icarus cause the company to go bankrupt only to come back and help them revive it using his own money?She could not torture herself with these questions anymore. She picked up her phone and video-called Icarus.The man was going through a series of proposals in his office when his phone rang. He checked his phone screen to see that it was Kiara video-calling him. He dismissed all his staff, corrected his tie, and attended the video call."Hey… What happened to you?" His casual time turned into worry when he saw her reddened eye
Kiara struggled but with her hands and legs strapped on, there was nothing much she could do. Anne Maria was just about to insert the injection when one of her henchmen stopped her. He showed her the copy of the medical reports and whispered something into her ears. Whatever he said, made her extremely happy. She said, "You are pregnant? Congratulations." "Don't even think about doing anything to my child." Kiara warned her in a stern tone. Anne Maria raised her hand as if she was surrendering and said, "Hey, I am a mother as well. I know how important kids are. I am not gonna hurt your baby. In fact, I am gonna spare your life." Kiara felt a tinge of relief inside her heart when she heard her words but what she said next completely robbed her of it. She said, "Why kill you when we can have it the most direct way? You stole my son from me… Now I am gonna steal your baby from you!" "What? No! NO! Stop. Don't do this." Kiara begged and pleaded but her pleas were left unheard. Anne M
"I gave up on every single dream to be with her, but unfortunately… I am not the one she dreams of or will ever dream of!" -Asmitha (Whirlwind Marriage to a Bully Alpha)___________________________________Dressed in a white off shoulder dress, a woman stepped out of her car to look at the Civil Bureaucracy office in front of her. She had pearly white skin with a small face. Her wavey, raven-like black hair fell carelessly on her shoulders. She had big brown eyes and heart shaped lips; even with just minimal makeup she managed to look breathtaking.It was her big day today and this caused an uneasy stir of happiness and nervousness within her. Maybe she wasn't ready yet, her marriage was just decided this afternoon in a flash because she needed the money offered on this relation to save her father and his falling company. But unlike other women who would be devastated about getting married in a hurry, she was rather calm and happy because she was getting married to the man whom she h
The night was silent and Kiara could feel her heartbeat escalate looking at the emotionless man in front of her. He was way taller than her, donning a dark blue tailor made suit which showed off his strong and muscular physique. He had almond shaped black eyes with a set of thick eyebrows. His jawline looked chiselled to perfection; even though his hair was not long, it still had bangs which fell over his forehead.Kiara forced herself to come back to her senses, she never wanted to meet him again in this lifetime but here they were standing face to face. "You! Why are you here? Where is Darren?" Kiara asked furiously, she could not contain the emotions of anger and disappointment she was experiencing right now.The man's expression didn't change but his eyes did reveal some anger, "Darren? You were here for him?"Kiara didn't find it necessary to answer his question and said, "I was told I was going to marry him today."Icarus stayed mum for a moment before saying, "You were to marry
Despite all her attempts to stay back, Harold ended up making Kiara accompany Icarus back home. The man even talked to him about an official wedding ceremony which Icarus promised to prepare for soon after his parents return from the States.Vurons lived in a heavily guarded castle which was located by the mountains, cut off from the rest of the town. No one was allowed there except for the closest and important figures.Once the new Alpha was appointed, he and his family would live in the castle while the rest would move out. Vurons were very rich so they never had a problem with buying themselves a fancy house to live in at any corner of the world.Kiara looked out of the window, facing away from him; he didn't seem to mind it as well as he continued to work on his laptop. As the car moved towards the castle, the sound of the town started to fade before the silence overpowered it completely.Was this… her new life? Away from civilization?By the time they reached, evening had alread
Kiara stayed up till midnight, looking out of the window; as the maid said, he didn't seem to return back home. The girl could finally relax, she laid down on the bed which reeked of his scent. This sent brought bouts of nostalgia within her, some good and some nightmarish memories.She stared at the ceiling, even though this place wasn't new to her it still felt a little odd as she was now the mistress of this house. This was her new home…Kiara told herself that she will be living with Icarus from now on till they officially divorce. But judging by today, maybe he will be out most of the time; their company was vast and branched in several countries so of course, there would be loads of work for him to take care of. She felt a little relieved that she would be alone most of the time but what about the other days.What about… him sleeping next to her?Her body rose up with goosebumps as the memories she tried to push down started to surface inside her head. "No! Stop it… stop doing t
As soon as the duo came inside, their eyes were greeted by the numerous actresses in similar outfits, waiting in the room to audition for the same role as hers. There was a muffled cacophony of them reciting their lines to themselves and practising for the upcoming audition.Kiara had prepared for this role long ago, she had all the lines memorised and all the scenes carefully prepared for many sleepless nights. She was very confident in herself until she saw these rookie and veteran actresses prepare. She clutched her handbag and said, "Do you think I too should do a last minute revision?""Why? Weren't you pretty confident that you have got this?" Sophia raised an eyebrow asking, she has herself seen this girl put on a splendid performance for this role. Why was she suddenly wanting to do some more practising?Kiara shook her head and said, "No, it's just…""Can't you already say, your actress is scared now." A gracefully feminine but extremely arrogant voice came out of nowhere, cu
Sophia watched as Kiara's face fell, she had expected this to happen since she saw how terrible the relationship between them was. The girl said, "Are you out of your mind? I don't even consider him a living person, you want me to beg him to help me?" "That's not what I meant!" The manager immediately shook her head, "I want you to reap the good opportunity that you have in your hand. You married the most powerful man of our country, there is nothing he can do. Besides, you are not getting anything from this marriage and you are going to divorce him anyway. I suggest you get his help to kickstart your career while he is still there." Kiara shook her head sideways, showing that she was negative towards this idea. She said, "I am sure this will work but Icarus won't help me." "Why won't he? He is your husband…" "Sophia, can you please stop associating me with that man? Just because we both signed a random form and got issued with a marriage certificate, it doesn't make him my husband
