Chapter 11 | Kiara

Kiara

"Your hands of my body. That's my addiction."

➽───────────────❥

HIS DARK brown eyes were imprinted in her mind. And the scars? Kiara wanted to run her hands through them. For the first time in a long while, she wished to return home at night.

"Miss Ace, all these files are signed. Take them away from me, for now. Also, tell Robert to come in, now." Kiara says as she gets up from her chair, stretching her hands and legs.

She has been sitting on the chair for quite some time now and she could feel her legs going numb. She snatched a cigarette from her first drawer of the table with the lighter and lit it up. She needed some release.

No matter what she did today, she couldn't take her mind off Zain. It was like he had caged her under some kind of spell, refusing to let go of her no much how she protested.

Why was she protesting?

When Kiara saw him in the morning, she wanted to take him down then and there. Fuck the life out of him. He looked utterly desirable in that navy blue blazer of him - like a true businessman. His sexiness was going to be the death of Kiara one say, for sure. She was fuming with jealousy as she thought of all those lusty stares he must be getting all day in the office.

One reason she ensured that his assistant was a man. Call it over possessiveness but Kiara wanted no woman in close proximity of Zain.

She had no idea what their relationship stood at, it had been three days since she last saw him. She was avoiding him and that too for a good reason. Her insecurity.

She knew that she had let him down by not coming for him before but what was she expected to do? Her parent's revenge was the only thought in her mind for five years and whatever she did, was directly or indirectly linked to it. And now? She was free from the hunger of revenge.

But now that hunger was replaced by something else. Or better, someone else. Hunger for Zain.

She knew her possessiveness over him is unhealthy and she wanted to keep it in check. There was no denying her mind over the fact that she felt something for Zain. She didn't know what it was?

Kiara had never been the one to think over romantic relationships but now, her situation demanded her to be. She can't just keep Zain in dark. She knew that she has to tell him the reason he is here.

The office's door opened and Robert walked in. He was a trustworthy employee who handled some of Kiara's dealings before she passed him over to Zain. He was enough knowledge about Kapoor Music Inc. so she was satisfied with her decision.

"Good evening, ma'am. You asked for me?" Robert asked.

"Yes, please take a seat," Kiara replied, motioning him to take a seat one of the chairs.

Robert did so, not wanting to anger his boss. No matter what, his ultimate loyalty lay with Kiara Kapoor. The woman was a blessing in disguise for him, having helped him with his mother's surgery a year ago and also, recognizing him for his talent in the business. He had never met anyone quite like her. At such a young age, she was an iconic businesswoman.

"Tell me about Zain's progress. How is he handling?" she asks, throwing away her cigarette in the bin. She walked over and took her seat.

"He is handling the pressure well, Miss Kapoor. He likes to go through all the documents before the meetings and is extremely attentive in them. He doesn't hesitate to voice his opinions and even in matters of conflict with Miss Sejal, they manage to settle everything down. He has a keen interest in music, I must say since his selections if you excuse me, are damn good. Even Miss Sejal was impressed. He spends three hours in his music studio, and I am sure he is writing his own music. He had bought his own guitar to the office, though. He claims that he is more comfortable with it." Robert informs his boss, while Kiara listened to him silently.
