All Chapters of The Governor’s beloved pet : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The room was suffocatingly silent. So silent that Kiara could hear the curtains rustling against the windows. Even the gentle breeze felt like a thousand thorns piercing her skin. She had kissed him. Again. And worse, she had allowed herself to be pulled closer to him. Her body shuddered as the image of Declan settling her on his lap flashed through her mind. “No!” She squeezed her eyes shut, desperately trying to erase the memory from her mind. Tears welled in her eyes as she imagined her father scolding her for crossing the boundaries she had sworn never to cross. “How could I let that happen? I am engaged, for God’s sake!” “Kiara?” Valentina’s voice made her lift her head. Tears spilled down her cheeks at the sight of a familiar face. “Are you alright?” Valentina asked, lowering herself onto her knees and sitting in front of her. “No. I am not alright, Valentina.” She broke down, her voice trembling. “Please. I cannot do this anymore. I tried to do what you told me, but Decl

“Charity gala. Party. Don’t these people have any other job?” Kiara grumbled under her breath as she slipped on her heels for the gala.When she looked at herself in the mirror, she barely recognized the woman staring back at her. The makeup artists had undoubtedly worked their magic. Yet, under the flawless makeup and elegant appearance, her heart was beating erratically. What if her pictures went viral again, just like last time? Oh, dear God! Her father would catch the first flight here, and Ivaan… She didn’t even want to imagine what he would do. With a troubled sigh, she decided to talk to Declan one more time. She couldn’t let her family get dragged into the dangerous world of the mafia. Whatever happened between her and Declan, her family had nothing to do with it. Turning around, she collided with something hard. “Are you in that much of a hurry, Kiara?” His soft, velvety voice stirred something inside her heart, making her blink in surprise. “I was coming to meet you,” s

“I never thought Lucas Stone would be good for our business,” Liam remarked with a smile, taking a leisurely sip of his whiskey. “Chad would agree.”Declan nodded but his eyes were searching for only one man. Lucas Stone!The man had invited him here and hadn’t even bothered to meet him yet. Something about it unsettled him. Lucas was planning something and this invitation was proof of it. “Declan?” Liam’s stunned voice dragged him out of his thoughts. He turned to his brother. “What?” “Xavier is here?” Liam whispered, disbelief evident in his voice. “I saw him.” Declan blinked. The new Mexican Don. Lucas had invited him as well. That meant the rumours were true. Two old enemies had joined hands and forged a new alliance. He followed Liam’s gaze, his jaw tightening. The war between the Mexicans, Italians, and Russians had ended two years ago with the Russians and Italians emerging victorious.The Mexican Don had been killed. However, the biggest winner of that war had been Declan

“Klaus, I want Kiara out of here as soon as possible,” Valentina urged her brother. She had gone after Lucas but failed to find him. However, the sickening glint in his eyes whenever he looked at Kiara had warned her of the danger lurking ahead. And by protecting Kiara, she hoped to atone for her past sins. Perhaps then, she might finally earn the right to live a happy and peaceful life. “I cannot perform miracles, Valentina, but I promised to help you and I will.” Klaus nodded. Valentina nodded. Kiara’s safe return was of utmost importance to her. Just as she turned to leave, Sila approached them. “Valentina.” She greeted her sister-in-law. “How are you?” Valentina gave her a faint nod. “As good as I can be.” Sila sighed. “Valentina, is there really any need for this animosity between us? I have forgiven you for what happened.” Valentina’s expression hardened instantly. “Forgiven me!” she snapped. “I did absolutely nothing wrong to you! Someone else did and that someone is

As Valentina sat beside Liam Sullivan, fury boiled inside her. The way he had humiliated her in front of her own brother was unforgivable. She wanted to confront him, demand an explanation for his disgraceful behaviour, but she knew better than to make that mistake inside the car. She had already been humiliated once in front of the driver. She wasn’t going to give him another opportunity. When Liam reveals his cruel side, nobody could match him. Valentina had learned that lesson the hard way and she had no intention of repeating her mistake. Liam, meanwhile, was still preoccupied with what Victor had told him. His encounter with Klaus had only added to the turmoil in his mind. He needed to know exactly what role Valentina had played in what happened to Kiara. “What happened at the gala?” Liam questioned abruptly. Valentina turned towards him. “What do you mean?” she asked, carefully keeping the anger and hur
