Kiara's Punishment

Kiara also got angry, Oliver exposed her mercilessly and she lost her reputation in front of Oliver's grandparents today. All this happened because of Ava and now her own father was scolding her. What did she do wrong? She just took some indecent pictures of Ava without her knowledge. Why everyone was making a big deal out of it? Her dad even made her kneel on the floor.

"Dad, I love Oliver, and to get him I can go to any extent so I don't think I did anything wrong." Kiara raised her head and said angrily.

Mark looked at Kiara with complicated eyes, he could see his daughter has lost her reasoning over what was right and what was wrong. Her deep obsession with Oliver will only bring disaster for all of them but he had no idea how to make her stop.

"Kiara you need to understand that no matter what you do, Oliver will never marry you even if Ava was out of the picture. At least not after what you have done to her. The soon you accept this you will be able to go on with your life well otherwise don't think next time Oliver will let you go so easily. Honey, Daddy is not your enemy but this is the truth, and as I advised you earlier find a decent man to date and get married. Forget Oliver!" Mark said softly.

"Never. I am going to get Oliver at any cost" Kiara said shouting.

"Enough! I think I have spoiled you too much that you don't even bother to listen to your own father. You will do as I said or I will cut you off and throw you out of this house. I want to see how you survive without the money." Mark stood up excitedly from the sofa and said angrily. He couldn't take Kiara's stubborn attitude anymore.

"Husband, calm down, please don't be so angry, your blood pressure is already high what if something happens to you? Kiara is a child. I'll talk to her." Lucy who was sitting there quietly and enjoying the show pretended to be worried. She was very happy to see Kiara suffering like this. She will never forget what Kiara did to her, so it was all part of her revenge.

"Kiara, apologize to Dad." Lucy turned to Kiara and winked at her.

Mark was gasping for air, he was too angry. He looked at Lucy coldly and said, "Don't spoil her too much. I have already done enough harm by listening to her unreasonable requests from time to time. Now she has no sense of right or wrong. She does whatever she wants and doesn't even care about family reputation. I should have cut her off a long ago and let her live on her own then she would value life more."

"Mark, she is still young and made a mistake on an impulse. Who doesn't make mistakes? Please forgive her this time and give her a chance to correct her mistakes." Lucy said softly. She knew well how to handle Mark. She has been doing it for years.

Hearing Lucy, Mark calmed down a little and thought as long as Kiara accepts her mistake and is willing to change, then he will give her a chance. She was after all his only daughter and the heir of Andersons.

Kiara was still angry but seeing Lucy winking at her she calmed down and decided to listen to her. After all, Lucy has been helping her all this time and she trusted her. Besides she was also afraid, if her father really cut off her expenses, she wouldn't be able to survive so it's better to control her temper and be obedient for the time being. Later she will think about what to do. She will never let Ava win, one day she will have Oliver.

"Dad, I am sorry, what I did was wrong. I'll never do anything like that again." Kiara's legs were numb. The moment she came home from Charles's Castel her father made her kneel down and it has already been two hours now.

"I hope you remember your promise and never let anything like that happen again. I want you to be happy, let Oliver go, and find your own happiness. This obsession over him will not do any good to you." Mark advised her and decided to let it go this time. However he needed to keep an eye on her, he didn't believe Kiara will let go that easily.

Kiara never had lack of anything, he tried to fulfill her every wish and never let her suffer. However, because of love, she was suffering and he couldn't do anything. He felt helpless.

"Yes, Dad," Kiara said lowering her head pretending to be ashamed of herself.

"OK, get up and go back to your room now." Mark looked at her and said coldly.

Lucy immediately went to Kiara's side and helped her stand up and take her to Kiara's room. She has to keep her pretense because if anyone finds out that she was the brain behind Kiara's plan then Mark will throw her out of the house.

In Kiara's bedroom.

Lucy helped Kiara to sit on the bed, and said in a pitiful tone, "Kiara, honey does it hurt?" Lucy's expression was full of heartache, no one could doubt she was just acting.

Kiara also thought Lucy felt bad for her, she said with tears, "Yes mom, it hurts."

"Silly child, I have been trying to grab your attention for a while. Don't you know how your father is? If you have admitted your mistake earlier then you wouldn't have to kneel for this long." Lucy said kindly with a sad face.

"Mom, do you also think what I did was wrong? Why did Dad punish me like that? It's just some pictures and it's not like I put them on the internet." Kiara said angrily. Now because of all this, she started to hate Ava even more. If it wasn't for that woman nothing like this would happen.

"Kiara, you have to understand, your father is also helpless. Conner called him directly and told all these to him. They have been friends forever so naturally hearing all this from him, he lost his face in front of the Knights. I already warned you about this, didn't I? Why did you release the photos at the party, when you could use Samuel to expose them? That way no one could blame you." Lucy sighed sadly.

"I lost it when I saw her coming to the party hand in hand with Oliver and not only that Oliver even asked his grandparents for permission to marry her. How could I let that happen? So I had to ruin her reputation. I really hate her." Kiara said gnashing through her teeth.

Kiara suddenly jumped out of the bed and took out a stack of photos of Ava from her bedside table. Originally Lucy's plan was to send the photos to Oliver anonymously but seeing Oliver and Ava got back together Kiara immediately changed her mind and made a move. She just didn't expect, the table would turn and she would become the evil woman in front of the Knights.

"What are you doing with the photos now?" Lucy looked at Kiara worriedly not knowing what was on her mind.

However, Kiara didn't say anything she put all the photos in a big iron container and burned them on her balcony. It was Oliver's instruction, he made it very clear that if any of that photos ever see the light of the day then she will have a painful death. So Kiara had no other choice but to do as he said. Besides, the photos were already exposed so she didn't have any use of them anymore. Kiara stared at the burning photos, her eyes were dull and her heart was lost. She had lost the battle big time but she was still reluctant to let Oliver go.
