Chapter 88: EIGHTY-EIGHT


    Crying session


    Kiara spotted Keishaing towards this door holding a tray in her hand, she’de to serve


    Cian’s food and she knew the maid would catch her eavesdropping if she remained here, she had to


    leave this ce now. She would not be able to hear the rest of the conversation but what she heard


    was enough for her to draw her conclusion; she knew that there was no way that Cian would reject his


    mate’s offer to get back together, not after hearing all that she’d done for him. Who was she kidding


    when she thought that Cian truly loved her? This was why she wanted to be on her own, none of this


    would have happened if she didn’t let her hopes get so high, and now, she had no one but herself to


    me for all the hurt she’s feeling right now.


    She let the tears stream down freely as she ran back to her room, not that she would me Cian if


    heter came to tell her that he’d be reuniting with his mate, she wouldn’t me him for his decision at


    all. His mate had paid such a hefty price just to save his life, andpared to that, she knew she didn’t


    stand a chance.


    Her dinner had already been served on her table when she entered, Keisha must have probably


    brought it in when she wasn’t around. The aroma almost had her hooked, this servant had done a good


    job in preparing this food and it pained her that such nice food would have to go to waste because she


    wasn’t in the mood to eat at all, not after hearing all that she’d just heard, not after knowing that Cian


    would step into this room any moment from now and tell her he’s sorry for breaking his promise that he


    loves her, he’s sorry that he has to go back to his mate, he’s sorry that he has to leave her. She’s not in


    the mood to eat at all, all she wants to do now is to cry as much as she can, to cry and remind herself


    of her lonely and miserable life.


    She dropped onto her bed and slumped, burying her head into her pillow. She would not stop


    crying until this whole pillow was soaked, and after it was, she’d take another dry pillow and continue


    crying until she cried herself to sleep.


    **********


    After a VERY long talk with Stephanie, Cian realized that it was already night time when she left


    his room. It was already night time and he hadn’t seen Kiara since this evening when they arrived here.


    It had only been a few hours, but to him it felt like days. He spotted his untouched food on the table that


    Keisha had quietly served while he was still in conversation with Stephanie, he was starving and the


    food tempted him but he decided that could wait. He wanted to go and see Kiara now, there’s


    something he has to tell her and now he’s never been so sure of this his new decision. He just hoped


    that Kiara hadn’t fallen asleep yet.


    **********


    Kiara raised her head from her pillow the minute she heard her door open, she’d heard the knock,


    but decided to ignore it not because she thought that Cian had alreadye to deliver his


    heartbreaking news, but because she didn’t want anyone to interrupt her crying session. She’d been


    crying for hours now, and still the tears didn’t want to stop.


    Cian entered her room and furrowed his brow at the sight of her face. He’d knocked twice and


    when she didn’t answer, he’d concluded that she’d already gone to sleep. He sighed, he would have no


    choice but to tell her in the morning he thought, he was about to leave the front of her room when he


    heard the sobsing from inside. Kiara was crying… but why? What happened? Had Stephanie


    He didn’t wait to think of the answer before he barged into her room, he had nothing but worry


    written all over his face for her, and when he saw her swollen eyes, it only made him worry more.


    “Kiara… baby, what happened? Why are you crying like this?”


    Kiara sniffed and didn’t answer, she only blinked her eyes at him, letting more tears run out. Cian


    repeated the question and when his question was met again with silence, he went over to the bed to sit


    beside her. He took her into his arms and wiped her face with his hands until all the tears were gone,


    then he embraced her and began stroking her head softly, cradling her in his arms until she stopped


    crying.


    “I don’t like it when you cry Kiara, and it only pains me that you couldn’t evene to me to tell me


    what’s bothering you.”


    Kiara then changed the topic. “It’s ok Cian, no need to pretend that you love me anymore. Just tell


    me what you came to tell me and let’s get it over with.”


    Cian’s face puzzled at her words, he looked into her eyes and spoke. “Kiara, what are you talking


    about?”


    “I heard everything that you and your mate discussed, I understand if you have to go back to her


    now after all she’s done for you. Don’t worry, I won’t get mad at you, and we can still be friends, but not

    too close friends again because it will hurt me whenever I see you with her now.”


    It then urred to Cian that Kiara had eavesdropped on his conversation with Stephanie, not only


    that but she didn’t even wait to hear the end of his discussion with his mate, Kiara only assumed that


    what she thought in her head would happen, she assumed that he would reunite with Stephanie. Well,


    time to rid her of these thoughts she drew up.


    “I’m not getting back together with Stephanie, Kiara.”
