"Excuse me?" She called.Carlos turned. "Hello. My name is Carlos Jones."'Carlos? Never heard of it.' Kiara thought.Politely smiling back, she introduced herself too. "Hello my name is Kiara Walker. I don't know why you bought all that stuff, and I know it's rude of me to ask you but can you let me buy that shoe from you at least. I really need that."Hearing those words, Carlos almost chuckled. "You are asking me to have your own thing?""Huh?" Kiara got confused. "Aren't these yours?" Carlos asked again."No. You bought them. They are yours.""I said 'Pay her bills with my card.'""Why would you pay for my bills?""Madam?" Leo, who just put away all her earlier shopping bags in their car, came back to her side. Hearing a faint conversation of Kiara and Carlos, he couldn't help but intervene. Giving Carlos a suspicious gaze he asked. "Everything okay Madam?""Hmm. Everything is good. You are done?" She asked back."Yes. Got something else to carry?"Kiara shook her head, but Carlo

Once reaching back to her mansion, Kiara went straight to her elder sister’s room to look for her. All her life she rarely ever talked to her sister normally. Except for business or taunting, they never called for each other. When Kiara was young, she admired Ria wholeheartedly. But sooner she realized her big sister doesn’t have that kind of mutual feeling that Kiara carries. Ria’s hatred towards Kiara was quite visible to everyone. And with time, Kiara was no kid either. She realized and saw her sister’s true face too. At first she accepted her sister's reasons to hate her. But seeing and after being a victim of all her bullies, Kiara stopped sympathizing with Ria. She gives up on their sisterhood, chooses to stay as a stranger instead. “Miss you need something?” Butler confusedly questioned Kiara. He never saw her visiting east side of the mansion. She always kept her distance away from Ria’s room. And after being a witness of the slap that Kiara gave to Ria, Butler was too wor

Kiara was still contemplating all the setbacks they might face, when from nowhere a vase was directly thrown towards her face. Kiara’s eyes widened by the turns of events. And before she knew, that vase was already right in front of her. "SMASHED!!!" "Madam are you alright?" Leo worriedly asked. Kiara instinctively turned sideways. Perceiving what might have happened she realized that was still standing, only her position had changed. Leo protected her by shielding her with his body. When Kiara looked around, she saw all his other guards were holding Ria's wrist to stop her movements. She realized that before that vase could hit her, Leo pulled her arm and got her away from it. "Madam are you okay?" Leo asked again. Coming out of her stupor, Kiara instantly moved her body to check on herself. Feeling the pain on her arm which was held by Leo earlier, Kiara almost hissed in pain. "Yeah I am good. Thank you." Kiara didn't want to tell Leo that his hold on her almost crushed her

“Amm... nothing?” Kiara slowly said. “Then why did you call?” Noah asked, showing no emotion in his tone. “...can’t I call you for no reason?” Kiara smoothly asked back. “...” This time Noah was quiet. It wasn’t because he had no answer to it, instead he was quiet because he did have an answer, but that is too curt to say it to his girl. Kiara could guess the reason for his silence too. Rolling her eyes, she ignored that topic and moved on. “What are you doing tonight?” “Nothing special.” “Any meetings?” “Hmm.” Hearing that, knowing his plan made her feel hesitant to ask him out. Licking her lower lips Kiara paused. Noah sensed her hesitation. Seeing her speaking nothing for straight a few seconds, he asked first. "Wanna go out for dinner tonight?” Kiara surprisingly looked sideways to her cellphone. 'MIND READER!' "Kiara?" "Hmm. But don't you have meetings?" "I'll pick you up within an hour." "..." Getting no answer, Noah asked again. "Okay?" "Half an hour?" Kiara did

Noah helplessly looked at her. Rolling his tongue, he asked. “Anything else that I need to know?” With a pause Kiara shook her head in denial. “No. That’s all for now.” “Okay. Let’s eat, then we can go back home.” “Hmm.” Kiara agreed and had her another bite. But soon she realized something. “Wait a minute. What home? Which home?” “Our place. Or what?” Noah nonchalantly said. “Who said that I am going with you?” Kiara asked back. “I said. And end of discussion.” Noah authoritatively said and had bites from his plate. Kiara was flabbergasted. Looking at him she was speechless. ‘Again!’. Her conscious mind shouted. She paused eating and kept staring at his side face. Kiara’s statue posture troubled Noah too. Patting the back of her hand, he beckoned her to eat.. “Have your dinner Kiara.” “No, I am not Noah! I am not always gonna do what you ask me to do.” “Kiara. I am not gonna-” “No Noah. Not this time. I am going back to my place tonight. And that’s final.” Noah’s hand mov
