Ashton's POV. I looked around, assessing the situation, there were just six of them. The gunmen were focused on Kira, giving me a moment to plan, they came for Kira and I guess whoever sent them informed them that they have no cause to worry about anyone saving Kira... I wonder where her trusted men were. "Go on, do your job, you must be eager to see me lying in my pool of blood. Where did you want the bullet, in my heart or straight into my brain?" She asked and I just watched her in awe. "What the fuck are you doing?" I found myself asking.She glanced at me briefly, her eyes shooting daggers at me. "Stay out of this, Ashton. It's not your fight."The leader barked out a laugh. "You hear that pretty boy, stay out of it or I would add you to my list of who would die here today. She doesn't want your help so don't try to play the hero."The tension in the room was high and I tried to think of how to handle the situation."You're a pretty one, wish I can bang you before I end your m
Kira's POV“Fvck!” I ruffled out a cuss and slammed the door shut immediately after I stepped into my room. The anger surged from within me, those guards would definitely get their punishment but first, I needed to deal with those lunatics who thought they could come into my home and point guns at me. I am Kira, this is my territory, no one comes to threaten me let alone in my territory. I made my way into the bathroom and took a quick shower before wearing a different attire, the red nightgown now dumped among the other dirty clothes. The real battle had just begun because I wasn't going to let whosoever sent these gunmen into my house go free. One of them had clearly said they had been instructed not to take me for granted. A very good heads-up; they still did though.Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I packed my hair into a tight pony causing my face to be more revealed. I wore black shorts that ended at my thighs and wore a black spaghetti hand top. With no makeup and no
Kira's POV The roar from outside caused the four gunmen before me to shiver in fear, almost making me burst into laughter at the expressions on their faces.“Guess who's coming…” I asked in a sing-song tone, watching them crawl backward in fear. The stench of their terror almost made me want to puke.Oh, my little kitty, she isn't here yet, but her presence is already felt. How sweet…Just then, I saw the guards pushing the cage over to where we were.“This will be fun,” a soft chuckle escaped my lips. My eyes twinkled as I rubbed my hands together. A lot of fun!I casually got up from the chair and strolled over to the cage.“Hey, my sweet little one,” I cooed, reaching my hand into the cage to caress her head. She let out a purr, and I nodded, “Aye. I can tell you're hungry. I have four grown-ups for you. How would you like to taste them?” I asked my tiger with a smile. “Do you want them raw or cooked, baby?”I was staring right at my baby, yet I could smell and feel the fear oozin
Kira's POV"Get everyone down here," I ordered the guards as I strolled into the living room with a Remington R5 in my right hand. The living room, once a chaotic mess of broken glass, blood stains, and upended furniture, had been meticulously restored to order. It was almost as if nothing had happened here. I settled into a single sofa, my eyes fixed on the entrance as I waited for the family to gather. They would be mourning one of their own today."Where are the losers?!" I shouted after a few minutes of waiting. Their tardiness only fueled my anger, my fingers itching to pull the trigger.Impatient, I aimed the gun at the ceiling and fired a warning shot. "Get the fuck out now!" I bellowed.The family members scurried out like frightened rabbits, some descending the stairs while others hurried from the elevator. Within minutes, they were all assembled before me. The sheer number of them was staggering; Mr. Jones had truly sired a legion. There can never be peace in a house like t
Kira's POV(A week later.)“You are ready, ma’am,” Annabella announced, and I dropped my phone on the table to see her handiwork.“Nice,” I mumbled, standing up to admire myself in the mirror. “I never knew you could style hair so well.”“I style my siblings’ hair a lot,” she giggled, and I just shrugged, genuinely impressed with her choice of selection for the last hearing at the court.I was struck by the sleek and stylish piece she had chosen for me. The centerpiece was a striking black leather trench coat, its double-breasted design featuring a row of bold white buttons that added a modern touch. The coat fell elegantly to mid-calf, creating a commanding and confident silhouette.Underneath, she had opted for a classic black turtleneck sweater, its high collar framing my face and accentuating the bold red lipstick I had applied. My dark, wavy hair cascaded around my shoulders, adding a touch of drama to the overall look.Completing the ensemble were a pair of form-fitting black le
Kira's POV. The grand doors were just ahead, a symbol of authority and justice. But today, I was the real authority, and my justice would be painful, slow and merciless. As I approached the entrance, the press swarmed, their cameras flashing and questions coming from different directions but my guards did a great job in keeping them away. I hate the media. The courthouse was crowded with anticipation. Reporters and onlookers whispered amongst themselves, their eyes fixed on me. I could hear some of their conversations...words like “murder,” “trial,” and “power” went through my ears and I just smiled because they had no idea just how cruel I could be. They don't know who I am… yet. Denver stepped up beside me, his presence was a reminder of the Jones family's ever-growing list of enemies. But today wasn’t about him; it was about Richard and his futile attempt to challenge me. The courtroom doors swung open, and I walked in, my heels clicking sharply against the polished floor. T
Kira's POV. "Congratulations, hottie, you did great and you are exactly what they say you are," Denver complimented immediately as I stepped out of the car.Creasing my brow, I asked, "Were you waiting for me all this while?"He just shrugged, and I rolled my eyes, grabbing my bag from the car seat. I had ditched him back at the courthouse because I had some pressing issues to attend to. I was hoping he would get angry and leave me alone, but he was waiting for me."How was your day?" he asked."Fine, thank you," I mumbled before walking in. It had been a hectic day, and I was so hungry. I didn't have time to eat because I was so busy. All I wanted to do now was take a bath and eat to my full. No work again today; I was super exhausted."If you don't mind, would you like me to take you to dinner tonight?" he asked, falling in step with me."No. Not interested. I just wanna eat at home and sleep," I replied snappily and hastened my steps.Annabella rushed to meet me, took my bag, and
Kira's POV. "Why are you not killing her?" I heard a distant voice ask and I tried to open my eyes but they seemed too heavy for me to open."I don't want to kill her now, I'm gonna deal with her, I'll make her death painful, you don't think I would let her go after what she had done to us, do you?" Another asked... A familiar voice but my brain seems too foggy to remember whose voice it is.“You’re making a huge mistake, Richard,” the first voice, a man, insisted. “Shoot her now while she’s down. She might do something dangerous once she’s awake.”A woman added, “He’s right. This isn’t the time for arrogance. We’ve seen what she’s capable of.”Richard laughed, the sound grating on my ears. “The drug in her system will keep her unconscious for twenty-four hours. If I kill her now, our property would be gone. She needs to sign everything back to me before I send her to meet Dad.”"You're a fool, this woman is unpredictable Richard, she's like an untouchable force, you managed to knock
