Under A Dark Cloud

Chapter 27

Keira's Pov :

After watching Cloud and the rest of the bosses leave the room to the meeting, I sighed and gave a small pinch on my skin. It hurts a bit but it helped me calm down. I never knew I could hold my anger like that.

Sighing again, I put on a smile as I made my way towards Luca and Nick. In this crowd full of people whom I don't know, It's best if I stick with the people I know.

Luca noticed me and gestured to come here and join them. I nodded and went there with a smile. Nick was laughing with some of the men here as they chatted.

Luca let go of Nick's arm and intertwined hers with mine. Luca beamed at me proudly. She gave my cheek a light pinch.

She whispered, " You made me and Axcel very proud! You managed to stay strong and collected infront of that slut! Oh my oh my! "

I gave her a smile and whispered back, " It's because you told me to. I didn't know that she'll  be here and do those things to Cloud. "

" I know right? Why does my airhead of a brother seduce filthy women like her?, " Luca's face hardened a bit but it softened again, " I'm so glad that for once in his life, He picked a better woman to be his wife rather than all those trashy fake women he just have flings with. "

" By the way, Have- "

" Ah! This is Cloud's wife and my new sister-in-law, Keira, " Nick suddenly introduced with a smile.

" Nice ta meet cha, " A tall friendly looking man with blond hair and tanned skin greeted in a Texan accent as he held his hand out, " The name's Johnny! "

" Keira, " I said as I shook hands with him. He gave me a big grin. I looked at him carefully and he looked quite familiar.

" Wha's wrong?, " He asked.

To confirm something, I asked in an uncertain but calm voice, " Could you be the brother of Cassandra? "

He looked surprised and a big smile spread across his face. He answered,

" If you mean the gal who owns them fashion shops, Then I'm him alright! "

" I see! Your sister is very remarkable with her trends of clothes and fashion tastes, " I said happily.

Luca looked at me then Johnny and sighed. She pouted and slightly raised her hand,

" Don't leave me out please. It's already worse having a husband who loves to tell jokes and laughs. "

Me and Johnny looked at eachother and smiled. We invite Luca and chatted joyfully as we talked from topic to topic.

Then, I was feeling parched from all the talking. I excused myself from Luca and Johnny as I went my way over to the refreshments table to get a glass of punch.

Grabbing a glass beside the punch, I poured a bit in my glass. First, I sniffed it and tasted a bit to check if it's spiked or not. And thankfully, It's not. I pour myself a glass of punch. I turned around to see  someone very familiar in the crowd.

My eyes widened as I try to go closer to see if it's him. I went closer and saw it was really him. He gave me a smile and mouthed something again. Something like ' I'll see you again. '

As I went my way, weaving through the grouos of men, He was no longer there. I turned around to look for him but he was no longer there. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion and made my way back to Luca and Johnny.
