At the wedding, in front of everyone, Asher callously refused to acknowledge Kiara as his fiancée.

Instead, he chose Kiara's sister, Chloe, that conniving snake！

They brutally trampled upon Kiara's self - esteem.

Chloe orchestrated a car accident, a sinister attempt to destroy Kiara once and for all.

The news about Kiara's sudden tragic death, flowed around the City for a pretty long time before everyone eventually forgot about her existence.

But Kiara did not die!

"I want revenge". Kiara smiled when she said. "I'd teach everyone a manipulating lesson that they'd never forget".

Kiara isn't the same weak Kiara of the past, this time around, she's returning back, rich and powerful.

————————

Kiara stood in front of the Altar, excited for the day she has waited all her life. Today, she'll officially become the wife of the guy that she had admired and loved all her life!.

"Do you, Asher Huxley, accept Kiara Anderson, to be your lawfully wedded wife and to love her till the last days of your life?". An exciting smile appeared on Kiara's lips as she heard the words of the priest.

"I reject you, Kiara Anderson". His voice was cold and his red coloured eyes, piercing as he rejected Kiara in front of the Altar before he left , leaving everybody stunned.

Kiara felt her whole world crumbling as she stood still in shame, watching Asher Huxley leave her side.

She couldn't do anything about Asher leaving, and at the same time, she couldn't understand what was happening. She thought Asher loved her with all his heart just like she did.

"Wait….". Kiara muttered, but her voice wasn't heard by anyone.

Bitter tears rushed down from Kiara's eyes endlessly as she watched everyone starting to leave.

The grand hall was finally reduced to only four people, including Kiara.

Paolo Anderson walked up to where his daughter stood.

"Fath….". Kiara thought her Father wanted to console her, but she felt a stinging pain on her cheeks. Her own Father slapped her!.

"You're a useless child!. You should be more like your younger sister. It's best you disappear from this world and never return back to the Mansion. I don't even want to believe that you're my daughter anymore". Paolo turned his back against her. "You're just as useless as your Mother afterall". He added before he left.

"Stepmo…. Mrs Tessie, Chloe, please help me beg my father". Kiara fell to her knees as she pleaded with her stepmother and stepsister.

Since Asher abandoned her without an explanation, she has only her family to turn to.

Tessie was really pleased seeing the miserable state Kiara was in. "I told you, Kiara. But you wouldn't listen". She roughly held Kiara's chin as she said. "Asher Huxley deserves someone better like my Chloe, not someone as useless and weak like you. If you're smart, just do what your father said and never return". "And by the way, you stink". Tessie removed the glove she was wearing before she tossed it on Kiara's face.

"Come on, Chloe, Let's go. She's contagious". Tessie added before she left with Chloe who was feeling really proud of herself.

With Kiara gone, Asher Huxley would finally notice her (Chloe).

"How…. How can they do this to another human being?". Kiara tried to stand up, but because of how weak and in pain she was, she fell down flat on the fall and started sobbing endlessly.

"Mother, they all betrayed me. What did I do to them to deserve this?. You died and left me in this world to suffer!". Kiara couldn't stop tearing up. Her hands clenched on her chest tightly and rough the wedding dress.

Kiara vividly remembers when her mother was still alive. Everything was going smoothly in her (Kiara) life, but after the mysterious death of Lilie, her Mother, the companies that belonged to her mother were claimed and transferred to her father, Paolo.

It hasn't even been a week since Kiara's mother died, and Paolo brought his mistress and her daughter back to the Mansion.

Ever since then, Kiara's life has been so miserable. And the only person that lightened up her dark world, betrayed and abandoned her.

"What have I done wrong to deserve this?". Kiara questioned one more time, but too bad no one was present to answer her desperate question.

This was the day Kiara could never forget. This day was the day she needed her family's care and support the most, but they all turned their backs against her like she was a complete stranger.

She weakly stood up back to her feet and left the empty hall.

Just like Paolo had said, Kiara didn't return back to the Mansion. Not because she was still scared of him, but because she vowed not to return back looking weak.

Kiara rented a really old looking apartment since she didn't have enough money to spend. She was on her own now, so it's best for her to manage.

(Inside the apartment).

"Father, you not only betrayed my Mother, but you also betrayed me, your daughter. I was stupid enough to be a puppet to your lovely new wife and my step sister". "You took everything from my Mother!. How could you use my mother's hard earned money on another woman and let me suffer?!. I hate you. I hate all of you". Her Amber eyes were already teary and red.

But she refused to let another drop of tears escape from her eyes.

"All of you would surely pay for treating me this way. And for you, Asher Huxley. I shall return strong and powerful and repay the humiliation you caused me". "Blarg!". She roughly covered her mouth when she felt the sudden urge to puke.

This happened twice before she rushed to the old looking bathroom and vomited.

"No…. No. It can not be". She placed her hands on her slim stomach before she rushed out of the apartment to the hospital.

"Tell me doctor…. Please tell me that this is not true". Kiara pleaded.

"Congratulations, young lady. You're going to be a Mother". The doctor was excited for Kiara when he announced to her.

To him, he actually thought that Kiara was only behaving like this because she was actually really excited to be a Mother.

"This is bullsh*t. How can I be pregnant for the person who rejected me!". She shoved the doctor away and ran out of the hospital.

"Why is this happening to me?. Just why?. I don't think I can continue to stay in this place. It's…. It's best that I leave". This was a really tough decision for Kiara, but she'd rather leave than face this kind of face slapping humiliation.

-

"Mother, you did a great job. I love you". Chloe hugged Tessie as she said.

If not for her mother's plan, Kiara would have definitely succeeded in getting married to Asher Huxley.

"That's right. Just like her Mother, that b*tch doesn't deserve anything better in this life, not even in the next life". "Asher Huxley is as good as your husband now with Kiara finally out of your way". Tessie pet Chloe's head as she added.

They released themselves from the hug before they stared at each other.

"Mother, do you think she'd dare come back to the Mansion?. I told you that I want her dead and permanently gone". Chloe complained.

Ever since Chloe stepped her legs into this Mansion as Paolo's second daughter born out of wedlock, she has been jealous of what Kiara has. When it comes to beauty, stature, fair skin and beautiful long purple coloured hair…. Kiara was the best and Chloe was casted aside, that was the main reason she always hated Kiara.

"Don't worry. If she dares to step her legs in this Mansion, I'll personally kill her myself. Come to think of it…. Won't she cost us trouble in the future? It's best that I get rid of her now". Chloe's lips curved into a happy smile when she listened to what her Mother suggested.

"Hand me my phone, Chloe". Tessie said to Chloe who gladly went ahead to pick up the cell phone on the table before she returned it to Tessie.

"Wait, Mother". Chloe immediately called out when she noticed that her mother was going to make a call.

"Hmm…. What is it, Chloe?" Tessie curiously asked.

"You shouldn't make this kind of call here. What if father hears you plan on killing Kiara tonight?"

"Hahaha". Tessie suddenly burst out into laughter when she heard what Chloe said to her. "You must be kidding me, Chloe". Tessie said before her face darkened.

"If not because of Asher's protection over your stepsister, Kiara, your Father would have strangled her already. But now that Asher is out of the way, it's best I kill Kiara in place of your Father. Don't you think so?"

"Of course Mother. I support everything you say!" Chloe announced with a bright face.

She watched her Mother make a call…. About 5 minutes later, the call was finally over and Tessie led Chloe out of the bedroom (Chloe's bedroom).

"You look really stunning, my child" Paolo welcomed Chloe with open arms.

"But Father, what's this all about? You said I should wear my best outfit and look my best, why?". Chloe curiously asked since everything was weird to her.

"Lady Huxley is here". Paolo announced. "You know, she has never for once been in support of Kiara's marriage to her son, Asher. So now that Kiara proved that she's nothing but a cheap bimbo, Lady Huxley wants you to get married to her son in Kiara's place". Paolo added with a smile.

He was really proud of his second daughter, Chloe.

"You're not joking with me, right Father?" Chloe asked. But when she saw that Paolo's face remained serious, she jumped up excitedly.

"I love you father! I should better go to the living room, I don't want to keep Lady Huxley waiting for me". Chloe declared, causing Tessie to proudly lead her to the living room.

The news of Asher Huxley's new fiancee, already got to the ears of half the City of Italy.

"So, he…. He rejected me to be with my stepsister?" She laughed out bitterly as she muttered to herself.

Just when she thought about moving forward with her life, Kiara heard the news, causing her heart to hurt twice compared to how hurt it already was.

She didn't have anything to pack with her, so she was already prepared to leave the City.

Kiara hailed a cab. "To the airport". She said to the driver before she got in the car.

It wouldn't be long now before she finally leaves this City that hurt her dearly.

But she was wrong.

The cab she was in, came crashing like a piece of garbage when a truck unfortunately hit the cab.

"Is this how my life is going to end?. No, my baby!". Kiara thought bitterly, using her hands to protect her stomach while the cab continued to crash until it was in complete ruins.

A minute later after the incident, Tessie excused herself from the living room since her cell phone was ringing.

"It's done". A man's voice from the other end of the phone call, reported to Tessie before she hung up the call and returned to the living room.

"Is anything wrong, darling?". Paolo asked Tessie in a low tone.

"Oh, it's nothing actually". She replied with a bright smile. "Finally. Kiara is dead. It won't be long until the world knows this". Tessie thought.

……

The truck driver took several pictures of the crime scene before he drove off immediately to avoid being caught.

It wasn't long before an emergency ambulance made its way to where the damaged car was.

The cab driver was already long dead, so they retrieved his body.

Meanwhile, Kiara's body was nowhere to be found. It's as if it just vanished into thin air. Only her phone was left behind.

"Hello, am I speaking to Kiara's Dad?" "It's just to inform you that your daughter might have gotten involved in an accident and lost her life. We're currently still searching for her body".

After hearing what the person who called him with Kiara's phone said, Paolo just hung the call without any care. "It's good that she died, anyways. She can finally rest in peace with her mother". Paolo said to himself.

(The news about Kiara's sudden tragic death, flowed around the City for a pretty long time before everyone eventually forgot about her existence, and that included Asher Huxley, who felt untouched even after hearing the tragic thing that happened to his once first lover).

-

"Dad, I'm off to the airport now". Kiara placed a warm smooch on Thomas's cheeks as she announced to him.

"You're always as stunning as ever, my beautiful daughter!" Thomas announced as he led Kiara outside his massive estate.

"Mommy, Grandfather, aren't you two forgetting someone here?" Casey wrapped his around his chest as he questioned, still standing at the door side, refusing to take another step forward.

Kiara stared at Thomas and then at Casey before she smiled and said out. "Of course not, my genius baby. Mommy and Grandfather didn't forget you". "Dad, I'll be right back".

Thomas simply nodded his head after he heard what Kiara said.

He watched Kiara carry Casey and came to where he (Thomas) was still standing. "Ha, you're getting heavier everyday". Kiara jokingly complained before she let Casey down from her arms.

"That's because I'm a grown up, mommy". Casey said without smiling. Though, that's always how his facial expression is, he hates smiling and loves keeping a tough face.

"Jeez, you don't seem to ever change". Kiara gently pinched his cheeks before turning to face Thomas. "Don't worry, Dad. Casey and I would surely handle the Company well in your place. You just need to rest and wait for our return". Kiara placed her hand on Thomas's shoulder as she assured him with a really determined face.

"It's okay if you can't handle it…. I want you back home safe and sound". Thomas hugged her after he had said.

"Don't worry father…. I'm not that weak young lady in the past. I'll surely make you proud of me and return victorious". Kiara assured Thomas.

"I've already transferred all the Company's shares under your name. I love you, my daughter".

Kiara felt a hot stream of tears rushing down from her eyes when she heard what Thomas just said to her.

She couldn't believe that he would let her be in charge of his whole trillion dollars asset. "Thank you Dad, I won't let you down I promise!". She hugged him one last time before her and Casey entered the back seat of the car that would drive them to the airport.

7 years ago when Kiara got involved in that accident which almost cost her life, Thomas was the one who saved her.

Thomas lost his whole family, including his wife and daughter that same day. And when he came across the crashed cab, he couldn't bear to leave Kiara who was half alive, alone.

Thomas took her to the hospital, and fortunately, Kiara wasn't badly injured. Same with her pregnancy, the little foetus in Kiara's stomach was also healthy.

That was when Thomas decided to adopt Kiara after hearing her tragic story and what she'd gone through in life.

Ever since then, Kiara brought back light to Thomas's life again, and gave him a reason to live for!.

"Mommy, if I'm correct, the branch which Grandfather's other company is located, is in Italy right?". Casey was busy with the laptop as he questioned Kiara.

"That's right". Kiara's face darkened and her lips curved into a smirk as she replied to her son's question.

"That's perfect". Casey's face also darkened as he stopped operating his laptop. "Mommy, I promise you, all the people that caused you harm in the past should better prepare themselves because I'm going to deal with them for you!".

"You're right, my son. I have a score to settle with everyone". Kiara smiled when she said. "I'd teach everyone a manipulating lesson that they'd never forget". She added.

Kiara isn't the same weak Kiara of the past, this time around, she's returning back to Italy, rich and powerful.

"Casey". Kiara called out before she stared at Casey who was also staring at her. "I'll need your help". She asked, even after knowing much that Casey would do anything in this world for her.

"You don't need to ask me, mommy. I'll do anything you want, for you". Casey assured her.

"My revenge, I don't want it quick…. But, I want it slow and tormenting just like they tormented and manipulated me in the past". "And my mother's Company, I must reclaim it in a proper way". Kiara added.
