KIARA POV."Is Bryce around?" The king asked, in a fake worried tone. After the whole incident, Wyatt's abilities have been doubted by the council and the public.Especially those who had sympathy for Damon, since it wasn't his fault he lost his legs and couldn't rule and this led to the hate for Wyatt.He openly admits his plans to get rid of Damon in public, this was what Damon wanted so that once he starts uploading his video, the people will be able to connect the dots.Currently he wasn't in his room and I was given the task to make sure no one enters or disturb him and was to refuse the kings or Wyatt from entering the room."I'm trying to make him eat," I replied, my tone quite down. "Please tell him that I really need to see him, I need to explain to him about what happened yesterday," Onyx begged."I am his uncle and I took care of him after his parents died, I would never want to do anything like that to him and currently I'm punishing Wyatt for his choice of words and his

KIARA POV I didn't know what happened to me, one minute he was talking and I found his voice really sexy and appealing and I was drawn, drawn enough to kiss him.After a while I pulled away, my cheek red for what just happened. "Kiara," he called. "Hmm," I mumbled, looking away."What did you just do?" He asked. "Just an experiment, you don't need to interrogate me like that," I snapped. "I'm off to have my bath,"I announced. "It's still morning, you recently had my bath," he says as I mimic him."If you are so worried about water wastage then fine, I would go and sleep," I tell him, going to the bed and lying down.Till now, I didn't know why I kissed him and I fell asleep, thinking so hard for a reason. When I woke up, it was past dinner time, however Bryce already saved my share, which I ate while he was in the shower.I was surprised that he didn't push the matter too long and was rather calm about it. When he stepped out of the shower, he got us talking about other things and

DAMON/BRYCE POV "Do you know what he says to me?" Kiara asked in tears, pausing to take a sip of her drink."He wants me to disappear for the sake of Maya, he did not look for me, he didn't care about me and now he wants me gone," she lamented."You knew something good was never going to come out of his mouth, yet you went, why would you do so?" I asked. I knew she was drunk at this point and I would have put her to bed, but it was better talking to her and watching her express herself, she won't do this to me without the drink.She would just act all cold and maybe cry silently in the shower. I too was getting a bit tipsy and wanted to stop but she kept giving me drink and would get offended if I refused or I didn't drink much from it.Her eyes were on me as she talked and this made it hard for me to pretend that I was drinking. "I know, I understood the fact that nothing good would come out," she replied."But he was my father, do you know how long I wanted his gaze on me, how lo

KIARA POV. I had lied to everyone that I didn't see my attack as I was blindfolded and soon, the crowd began to reduce, leaving Damon who waited at the corner.Once we were alone, he locked the door, before coming to me, leaving his wheelchair in the corner."Are you alright?" He asked, his voice really low. "Relax, I am already healing," I tell him, showing how faint my scar was. He groaned, going ahead to change his eyes. "You can't heal me, you are not my mate," I mumbled. "Yes, but I did mark you," he pointed out and I couldn't speak. It worked like magic as the pain I felt in my ribs was all gone and I felt much better and could breath with ease now."I didn't know you marked me," I muttered. "You didn't see it on your back," he asked. "I have a lot of scars on my back, side, that's why I wear a dress with back coverage, so if I have seen it, then I would have just smug it off," I explained, as he frowned at him. Maybe he didn't like the idea of having scars on my back but I

DAMON/ BRYCE POV."He fell for it?" I questioned, it was night and Kiara was in my room just after Wyatt left, she locked the door and sneaked using the window."I don't know how it played out but I think it worked based on our conversation," she replied."What did he say while you two were talking?" I questioned. "He first came and met and told me if I love him," she began explaining."And what did you say after that?" I questioned. "I can't answer that but he didn't push it and told me that he had a feeling I love him and I don't know to what extent," she explained, as she laughed halfway."He went ahead to tell me not to leave the palace no matter what, when I asked where he got that idea from, he just said his intuition," she finished."So it's left for Onyx to sort himself out.I know Wyatt might work with him because he is greedy for the Kingdom but the truth won't be there any longer," I said as she nodded."I believe Eric just wants to show me the monster Wyatt is, what the roy
