Kiara
"Throw me to the wolves and I will come back leading the fucking pack."
➽───────────────❥
KIARA ENTERED THE hall, her red gown hugging every curve of hers and the red liquid lipstick making her look like a devil in disguise. Her hair was let free, curled slightly in the end. The slit on the right side of the dress showed her long sexy leg and a dangerous smirk appeared on her face, one that could kill many hearts tonight.
But that wasn't the purpose why she was there.
Imagine her surprise when she got home, only to find all of her furniture destroyed and clothes were torn. The pictures of her and Sejal were broken heartlessly by someone. That hurt her the most.
In the midst of all that chaos laid an invitation to a party, organized by none other than her sweet rival. So, not even thinking twice Kiara pulled out her 'do not mess with me' gown, did her makeup and came here for revenge.
Let them know what they are dealing with.
"Well, well, well. Look who is here." she hears a voice behind her, a voice she knows all too well no matter how long the time has been.
Rajesh Gupta smirked at her, the evilness lurking in his eyes. Kiara knew very well to not underestimate the man - she had walked straight into the lion's den without any backup. Call her stupid but she knew that nothing will happen to her tonight.
Rajesh attacked at the moment you least expected him to, he loved the element of surprise and was a pure sadist. Tonight was going to be the battle of words and threats. Nothing more.
They will be testing the water tonight.
"You left the invitation in such a perfect manner that I just had to come," she replies, seriousness written all over her face.
"I had to, you see. After all you so special to me now," he says as he steps near her.
"Care for a dance, Kiara?" he says as he offers his hand to her.
She takes it without any hesitation, she knew that he had planned something for her. He knew that she will come, she was a proud lady and messing with her will surely invoke her.
Rajesh always found her attractive and powerful. The aura she radiated was strong and dominating, yet when he found out that Damien had set his eyes on her he had to let go of his infatuation with her. He very well knew that Damien's support was more important than a girl.
When she had left, he never expected her to come back. In fact, she wasn't in his mind at all - his father's death was. He wanted to find out the killer. Imagine his surprise when someone comes telling him that the sweet girl he had met two years ago killed his father mercilessly - blowing his body into a hundred pieces that he couldn't even bury him.
Never judge a book by its cover, a lesson Rajesh had learnt the hard way. He didn't have a strong connection with his old man, yet the attack on his father was an attack on the Gupta empire and that was enough to set him up for revenge.
Kiara suppressed a shiver when Rajesh's hand wrapped around her waist and he pulled her closer. But she maintained her neutral expression, not letting him get a reaction from him.
"You do look ravishing tonight. I would have loved to fuck you if you wouldn't have angered me in the worst possible way." Rajesh whispers in her ears.
Kiara chuckled. What a joke.
"For that, you would have to have me. The only pleasure you would be getting will be with your hands. Which I am pretty sure has been your lovely companion all these years." she replies, a smirk on her face.
Kiara watched as anger formed in Rajesh's eyes but then it disappeared almost immediately, it was like as if it wasn't ever there.
"Don't underestimate my manhood, Kiara love. Many ladies are dying to have my cock inside of them tonight. You should consider yourself lucky to dance with me." he replies.
"All those ladies want is your money inside their bank account. And I have sure heard some tales about your little problem here and there. You do know there are pills for that, right?" she replies.
She feels Rajesh dig his nails in her waist yet she doesn't react. She never will. This is a battle she knew she will win.
"Don't overstep the boundaries here, Kiara. You don't want your death to be more torturous than the ones I have been planning for you," he says, spinning Kiara harshly and grabbing her hair to yank her down.
It hurt but then she wasn't going to let him win.
She hit his feet with her heel, boring it deep inside his shoes and crushing it with all her might. Rajesh's grip loosened on her and she knew that he was in pain. That was enough to satisfy her for now.
"The only killing that will be done will be by me when I put a bullet right through your head. Or even blow your fucking body up, just like I did to your daddy. See you later, Rajesh. I hope you get laid tonight but I won't be so sure." she says as she pushes him away and turns to leave.
She walks away, her head held high and mighty. But before she could get out of those doors she feels hands on her wrist and is spun back.
She crashed a chest and she looks up, annoyed at the person who interrupted her.
"What the fuck are you doing here? Are you nuts?" Damien says through his anger and concerned filled eyes that almost makes her heart drop.
But she won't let him affect her any longer.
"Well, he created a mess of my mansion so I had to at least pay him a visit," she says with confidence.
Damien did look handsome in his navy blue suit with a white shirt. He looked every bit of dark and mysterious - an aura that had dangerously attracted Kiara before. But she had realized that they both were too messed up to be good for each other.
Zain was her saviour - the light to her darkness, the star to her dark sky. Damien's life was too dangerous and she knew that it will do her no good.
"Alone? This is not a competition for fuck's sake, Kiara! He wants this reaction from you! Use your brain for once." he says.
Kiara didn't like it one bit when he raised his voice at her. Who the hell does he think he is? He has no power over her!
"Do not shout at me, Damien. Your don voice doesn't work on me - never has and never will. I know what I am doing so don't interfere." she replies, yanking her hand away from his grasp.
Damien sighs.
"One day you will realize that you need me more than you think, Kiara. I just hope when you do, it isn't too late," he says.
And for some reason, she hoped too.
