Kiara's POV
When I woke up Valentina was still asleep. I didn't want to wake her up, so I tried to get up as quietly as I could. I went to brush my teeth and take a shower with my hair because it was very dirty from last night.After I was ready, I went back into the room. Val was still asleep. I put some clothes on and went downstairs to pour myself some water. I got some food for Valentina and ran up the stairs back to my room. Now my new friend was awake."Morning, Ki." She said, massaging her disheveled hair."Good morning, Val. I got you some food, thought you would be hungry." I sat down on my bed next to her, making an upside-down smile. "Thank you for not letting me run. I'm not happy here, but it was a very stupid idea, because you were right - there is no escape from here."She shook her head. "I know. But we are getting in trouble. I mean you are."I rolled my eyes and we heard a knock on the door. Ms. Betty came in."Sorry to bother you, Ms.Davis. Tom wants you in his office, now." She smiled and left.Valentina looked at me and pushed me out of the bed. "Come on! He doesn't like to wait. Go!"I stood up and left the room. I began walking, wondering what was the worst that could happen.I got into the dark office and he faced me with a mad gaze. I looked on the floor."You said you wanted to talk to me."He stooped up from his seat and put his big hands on the desk. "What were you and Valentina doing last night?" He walked away from the table and began walking towards me. "Did you think that you could escape from here?" His voice got higher and higher with every word he said. "The only thing I wanted from you was to stay here, Kiara. That's it!" He came even closer and now I could feel his mint breath."What did you expect Tom? Are you surprised?" I looked into his eyes. "You kidnapped me! How the fuck did you think that I was gonna stay here, doing nothing, but listen to what you say?"He looked away "I respect you, Kiara! And I expect to get the same thing from the other side. It's hard to get along with someone who doesn't listen. There is no place in the world, where you can hide from me! Nowhere!""Why are you acting like it's a big deal? I'm still here. Fine, I tried to escape from here, because I am surrounded by people that I don't know! I don't belong here, Tom! Every time I look at you, I see nothing, I feel nothing! How did you expect me to react when you told me that we are getting married and I don't have a choice?" I yelled."Don't raise your voice at me! Remember who you're talking to and where you are." He started walking forward, but there was no space between us, so I started walking backward. "You are mine!" He yelled. "You belong to me! I own you! You are in my house, my office, with my rules and I say what you do and you fucking do it!" My back hit the wall. "You will marry me. Like it or not, you will! Stop persisting and thinking that somehow you will get away, you won't!" He raised his hand.I closed my eyes and turned my head away."Please don't hit me!" I said and put my hands on his chest."What?" He put his hand down. "I won't hit you. Why did you think I would something like that?""I- I just" I looked at his eyes. I saw disappointment, but not in me. It was in himself.As I walked away, I felt a knot in my stomach. I had just blurted out something that I shouldn't have. I lost my composure and I knew he must have noticed. Usually, he would have followed me to inquire about what was on my mind, but this time he didn't. I was grateful for the space and time to collect myself.When I reached my room, I noticed that Valentina was nowhere to be found. It was a relief, as I didn't want anyone to disturb me. I was still reeling from what I had said during our conversation. I knew that he would be curious about it and would want to know more. But I didn't want to tell him. No way! I regretted the words that had come out of my mouth.Tom's POV When she left my office, I didn't want to go after her. She seemed afraid. Why did she say that? What is the reason that made her think I'll ever hit her? There was no way in the world that I'd ever hit a woman, if she doesn't give enought of a reason to do it. Vincent came into the office. "Hey, I saw Kiara, running to her room, sobbing herself. What happened?" "What? She was crying? I didn't see that. We had a little argument and that's all." I said. I didn't want to tell Vincent, yet. Not until I figured out what happened and what made her feel like I was going to do such a thing to her. "Are you sure? She was sobbing. We've seen her cry, but this time... it wasn't like the other ones." He pointed back. "I don't know, brother. I will talk to her, later. I have some work to do now." He nodded and and soon he left. I sat on my chair behind the desk and opened the folder with Kiara's data. It had her family line, phone number, email address, the place she lives, and h
Kiara's POV As soon as Tom left, I continued to eat the delicious Chicken pasta bake that Ms. Betty had prepared for me. I couldn't help but ponder over Tom's concern for me. Why did he wait for me to wake up? Even if it was for five minutes. Why was he so caring towards me? I felt grateful towards both Tom and Valentina for taking care of me, but I didn't think the doctor's visit was necessary. After all, I've had heart problems before, and fainting was not a new experience for me. Just as I was lost in my thoughts, I heard a knock on my door. "Hey, I heard you woke up.'' She sat on the bed next to me and slightly smiled. ''Do you remember what happened?'' "Upon standing up from my bed, I suddenly found myself back on it, next to Tom who was sitting and waiting." "But, how are you feeling now? I don't mean only physically, but mentally as well." "Physically fine, mentally... I'm not sure. It's on periods. Sometimes I want to cry, because of the person that I have to fall in love
Kiara's POV As soon as I opened my eyes the next morning, I felt the excitement building inside me. I got up, took a refreshing shower, and headed to the dining room for breakfast. I enjoyed a hearty meal and sipped on some freshly brewed coffee, while I wondered what was Tom planning to do and why would he even want to take me out. I didn't want to go but he didn't give me a chance to cancel. After breakfast, I started getting ready for the place where we were going to go to. Tom's team had graciously provided a breathtaking blue dress, crafted from the most exquisite silk money could buy. The dress had no shoulders, which added a touch of elegance to the overall look. I carefully slipped into the dress, admiring the way it hugged my curves perfectly. To complete my look, I applied some makeup, focusing on highlighting my eyes and lips. I added a touch of mascara, some blush, and a hint of lip gloss to give me a youthful glow. I then put on a pair of silver earrings and a matching
Tom’s POVAs the waiter nicely put the drinks we ordered on the table, I looked at Kiara's shocked face. I loved the way I could make her feel afraid and curious, I loved being unpredictable in front of the people around me, especially in front of Kiara, she was my spot. The waiter left. "So, why did you take me here?" My doll asked. "Good question, you started with." I smiled "Do you like it?" She looked around "Yes, I love this place, we could've stayed at home to talk, so I didn't have to dress like this. But really, this place is breathtaking!" Kiara said. "Thank you." I took a sip of my whiskey. "Is it yours?" she asked surprised. "Yes, of course. I own almost every place in here." I put my cup back on the table."Very impressive, I would say." she said, taking the menu to have a look at it. "The reason I took you here is to talk about the marriage." Kiara, who was previously engrossed in the menu, suddenly shifted her focus towards me with an air of eagerness. As she loc
Kiara’s POV As soon as Tom left my room, not letting me speak for myself again, I immediately went to remove all of that makeup from my face and put something I could finally feel like myself in. I put my hair up into a messy bun, so it didn't distract me. Soon, Valentina came to check on me. ''Hey, Ki. What's up?'' she came with the biggest smile on her face and I already knew what she was going to ask me ''How'd it go, babe.'' she smirked.I rolled my eyes ''Nothing happened, we just talked. That's all.'' I cleaned the mess I made while I was getting ready ''Our waiter was giving me looks'' I grabbed one cloth ''Then Tom disappeared for a moment'' I folded it ''And then, the waiter was gone the whole time and when I asked Tom about it - he said that he just put him on his place.'' I looked at her and noticed that her jaw dropped on the floor. ''No way.'' she refused to believe. I nodded and continued to fold clothes. ''Is that all? Nothing else?'' she said disappointed.''Not a
Tom’s POV I went back into my office after I made sure that my doll was okay. I opened the laptop sitting on my wooden desk and unlocked the camera for Kiara's room. I looked at her angel face imagining what I could do to her. She was mine, there was nowhere she could hide, I owned her. I loved the idea of her being my toy and prey. I went downstairs to the kitchen. I saw Valentina sitting on the chair, crying. I went to the section with drinks and got one whiskey, then poured it into a cup, watching Valentina curiously.''Is everything alright?'' I asked grabbing an apple from the fruit bow in the middle of the table.She tried to wipe the smudged mascara from her face ''Yeah, I'm fine.'' ''May I ask what happened?'' I sat on the chair in front of her. She rolled her eyes ''Just a stupid argument with Vince.'' she wiped one tear, falling from her face ''He probably has told you that I have a problem.'' she continued. ''No, he hasn't told me anything.'' I said. ''Oh, well I can'
Kiara’s POVI woke up early in the morning since I fell asleep very early last night compared to when I usually go to bed. It was still dark outside. I opened the big window in the middle of my room to feel the cold, fresh air entering my bedroom. I went into the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. Then I made my messy hair into something acceptable and put on some leggings with a sweater on top. I tried to dress up as comfortably as I could in the house since I couldn't do it outside anymore. I went downstairs to make myself a cup of coffee and something to eat but when I entered I saw Valentina, sleeping on the chair with a cup of scotch in her hand. I got scared and quickly walked to her. Then, I rubbed her shoulder to try to wake her up. "Hey, Val. Come on, let me help you walk to your bedroom." I quietly said to not scare her while she was still sleepy. She looked around with her red eyes "What happened?" she asked. "I don't know, but everything is okay." As I notic
Kiara's POV “If you leave now, I promise not to tell anyone about this. Just please leave" I cried in front of him, begging him to leave. "I am tired, don't you see? I love you to death but still beg you to leave, so please do it, please!" He was staring at me, not saying a word. "Go away!" "Okay, fine, I'll go. But if you tell anyone I'll kill you, Kiara!" With those words, he disappeared. 2 years later I was sitting in a café, talking with Lana- my best friend, since I've known myself."So, it has been a while. Any boyfriends or new friends?" She asked me while taking hercoffee from the waiter's hands."No, not really. After Finn, I don't think I'm ready for a new relationship." I took a sip of my coffee."Are you ever gonna tell me what happened?" Lana looked at me, hoping I'd spill some words. I just shook my head. I didn't want anyone to know what happened between me and Finn. I've never spoken to anyone about it before and I don't think I'm ready, yet. Four men in black
