Chapter 34
|| KIERA STEVENS'S POV ||
I caught her hand in midair, rage burnt inside my soul. No matter what happened, she couldn't just raise her hand on me. I wasn't going to let her walk all over me.
I yanked her hands off, gripping hard. My words slammed at her face, infuriating,
" Anastasia Beverly Brown! You might be a big star but you have no right to raise your hand against me."
Anastasia looked absolutely mad. She stomped on her feet, her eyes glowed in rage,
" My foot! What did you do, Jasper? He was spitting your name when he was with me on the bed last night. You...how dare you seduce my man?"
I really had the urge to clap for her melodrama. At first, it was she who seduced Jasper to sleep with him. After they entered into an official relationship, I cut all the ties with them.
How dare she accuse me?
I narrowed my eyes at her, understanding the fury behind her words,
" This..you should be asking your boyfriend instead of me. I never talked to him nor did I try to contact him even though he approached me many times. You better interrogate your man first. Remember, a real woman never deals with other women. You are disrespecting yourself here."
Anastasia twisted her lips hatefully. Crossing her arms over her chest, she scoffed her words out,
" Oh really? It seems like you have a lot of respect, Miss Kiera. Actually, it's you who doesn't deserve Jasper. That's why, he left you. I mean, who will be willing to be with a woman who was raped by three women?"
I had lost my last ounce of patience at that moment. Stomping forward angrily, I slapped her face hard. Although everything she said was proven true, my voice broke with my words,
" As long as someone has a witch friend like you, they are bound to encounter misfortune."
I fucking wanted to tell her that I was never raped by three men. Technically, it was a rape but however, it wasn't that disgusted like she said. By the time, her melodrama had ended, few staff showed interest in our gossip. I just gave them a 'fuck off' glare which they understood and left immediately.
Damn..
My mood was already worse, did she really need to do this today?

" Fuck, Ki! That slap was amazing! Served the bitch, right!", Molly grinned big, driving the car for our next shooting spot. I couldn't concentrate on her words. Something did feel wrong with my body.
Inhaling deeply, I tried to stay strong but the anxiety was killing me. What would happen to Ryan? How would I live without him?
As the questions began to cloud my thoughts, I felt mentally sick. My chest raised up to down uneasily. In the blink of an eye, my head hurt badly and without my consciousness, I fell out.

|| AZRAEL DE LUCA'S POV ||
" Say it, Mr.Collins! ", I spoke to the man who came to finalize our new deal in this city. We were trying to build another wine company in this state. However, we needed land, far away from this city to hide ourselves better. Unfortunately, no one was willing to sell their land. The only person who agreed was Mr.Collins. However, he was also threatened by the local gangster to keep the land under his name as their boss wanted to start up their business there. So, I had to kill that peasant to show who was the boss here. Luca rules everywhere he goes.
Mr.Collins was a nice person, submissive. He liked our arrangements and decided to sell it off quickly. I am thinking about giving this property under Ryan's name but only if his mother agrees.
Mr.Collins replied politely, scattering the documents over the desk,
" This property had a share with my son. He also signed, Luca. Check it please.."
Ryan ran into me the next moment, holding his water gun. His giggles filled the air, warming my heart in a way that I never felt before. Before I could hold him, his feet tumbled against the desk. My hot tea fell over the paper, burning his little hand in the process.
" Shit!", I cursed, pulling him on my lap.
Matteo looked down at the stained papers and then looked over at us before saying coldly,
" That was a paper of a million-dollar business. Little Prince...you should have been.."
" Did you hurt your hand? Let me see!", I shot Matteo a glare before looking back at Ryan's little hand. He didn't cry or winch in pain.
My strong boy...
Ryan shook his head, slightly grimacing,
" Sorry, Uncle Luca! I didn't mean to do it.."
He lowered his gaze down, feeling guilty. I cupped his cheeks affectionately, telling after planting a kiss on his cheeks,
" Listen to me.. Nothing is more important to me than you, Rya. Not even a billion dollars. Now get down and listen to Uncle David. He will apply some ointment to it."
He ran off to Davin in his little feet. I glared back at Matteo who seemed more offended by these spoiling papers than me. I started my words in a cold voice,
" Matteo! Do not ever speak to Ryan like that! I want each one of you to respect him like you respect me. Understood? He is my heir. After me, he is going to sit in this position. Don't forget it!"
Matteo nodded without any further argument. Just before I started to speak to Mr.Collins about rearranging the papers, my phone buzzed with urgency. It was one of the bodyguards who were in charge of watching over Kiera.
I heard the head saying nervously,
" Boss..Miss Kiera..She..she fainted suddenly...They are taking her to the hospital.."
" What!!!", I jumped off in shock, quickly cutting the call before heading outside. Mr.Collins tried to stop me, saying from behind,
" But Luca..our deal.."
"Later!", I spat breathlessly, already running to the door.
I guess, I haven't gotten only one person to take care of after this. She meant something...to..me..
