Chapter 21 - Four years ago

" I see you didn't open it . " said Kiara with a smile .

"Well , it was in your name so I wouldn't dare to do so !" said Justin with half a smile .

The last time he opened Kiara's letter without her permission was a real mess . She made him her personal slave for a whole week . This became a trauma for the poor Justin . Since then he never dared to opened another of her letters ever again .

"Now let's see what pretty words they have used ." said Kiara with half a tone .

''' Dear miss Kiara Willows , first child of Petter Willows , the eldest son of the head's family !

Due to the fact that you passed the preliminary test of the competition your abilities have been acknowledged but we are sorry to inform you that the preliminary competition will be organized again with the request of your uncle Denis Willows .

The competition will take part one month from now , in London.

This year's winner of the "Heir's competition " will be awarded with another privilege that will remain unknown for now .

After the preliminary finishes , there will be no pause and the competition will continue to the end .

Write a letter of agreement to show that you will participate !

Head of the house Ranch Willows .'''

"This is what this piece of paper says ! So annoying! " said Kiara in an annoyed voice .

"It seems fishy , don't ya think Kiara ?" asked Justin while laying in the bed .

"Yes I think so too Justin !" said Kiara in a serious tone .

"Maybe they are trying to poison or kill you again ? " said Justin while looking at Kiara .

"Maybe ! But it won't be that easy , I have faced countless situations like this , it has become an annual routine." said Kiara with half a smile .

" I know you're cautious and strong but don't joke much about it . They are very smart people and you are a bit naive . "

Kiara glared at Justin.

"Don't look at me like that , you know I am right ." said Justin with a serious face .

" Fine , you're right but still .." said Kiara annoyed .

"No still Kiara ! You know very well what they did to me four years ago . I still haven't recovered from the poison Flax injected me with back then . "said Justin with a sad face .

Kiara and Justin started to think about that bitter memory back then .

Four years ago , Justin was the most appreciated and strong guy among the descendants in the Willows family . Flax , their uncle's son was always second to Justin in every challenge they had to face in order to win the title of Heir to the Willows family. After a lot of challenge in which Justin came first , the head proposed a last challenge , whoever would win would become the Heir . It was winter at that time . Flax knew he couldn't win against Justin so he put poison in his water bottle and as a result Justin ended up losing and falling seriously ill . Kiara became furious when she saw how her brother was lying on the ground with his face full of red marks . When they were about to announce Flax as the winner , she stepped forward and challenged him . Flax laughed in the beginning and accept with the thought of getting rid of Kiara just like he did with Justin .

The moment Kiara stepped in the challenging field the whole atmosphere changed . It became more cold than it already was . The aura that was surrounding Kiara was the same as a murderer's one . All the people in there stopped the noises . Kiara saw Flax straight in the eyes . Flax's eyes were feeling as if they were being pierced through . His body started to tremble and he felt a chill behind his back .

"I want this to be a life and death battle between us . The winner gets all the loser losses all

including ' life ' ." said Kiara and looked at the head of the family.

He remained astonished by her way of speaking and found it rather intriguing . He agreed and the challenge started. Kiara's eyes were like empty shells . She started to fight against Flax and was already beating him . Flax received a lot of punches and started to throw blood . His mother started to yell , asking for this whole thing to stop . Flax was sly and had a pocket knife which he stabbed Kiara with , deep on her right arm .

Any normal person would have cried but Kiara didn't , instead she pulled the knife out and then gave a fatal kick to Flax right in the middle of his legs. Due to the huge amount of pain he was about to faint but Kiara didn't let it end with this . She lifted him up and used the knife in her arm to stab his stomach.

" FLAX !!!!!!!! You monster release my son . " yelled Flax's mother in despair.

Flax's father bowed to the head and bagged him to save Flax .

" Father , I am begging you , stop this , please ! " said he in despair .

" Before it began , it was stated as a life and death challenge . We Willows are bound with the war and the promises . " said mr Ranch .

Flax's father continued to beg him and made him change his mind .

Flax had started to vomit blood . He could hardly breathe . Before Kiara give him the final blow mr Ranch ordered them to stop .

" Let end this here ! Even though we have martial arts as traditional challenge we still can't be so harsh on family members. It is clear that you won the match . " said mr Ranch unhappy. He hated to admit it but she was an amazing warrior even with her bȧrė hands .

" Family ?! Did this trash , cheater think about family when he poisoned my brother so bad that he would have nearly died ?! Did he think about family before using this sharp knife to paralyze my arm ?! I don't think he did . " said Kiara infuriated .

" You're right and he will be punished for not respecting the rules . I will give you the half of the Heir token . The other one will have to be earned at the competition that will be organized after four years , when you become nineteen. " said mr Ranch with a serious face .

" Okay but I shall give him a little present before letting him go grandfather , since he already broke the challenge promise . " said Kiara with an evil smirk .

Mr Ranch wanted to decline ger request but when he saw that the other family members started to whisper about the fact that breaking a challenge promise goes against the main doctrine of this family , he unwillingly nodded his head .

" Thank you grandfather for upholding justice ! " said Kiara with a satisfied tone and and evil glare .

"Stay aw...away from me ..yo..monst..err ! " said Flax while struggling from the huge amount of pain all over his body .

" If you dare show up in front of me again I will turn you into a vegetable person. Unable to see or move . You will live like sleeping beauty , only sleeping till the day your heart stops ."said Kiara with a death glare .

She grabbed both of his legs with her own hands and broke then off .

Flax's screams were very loud it clearly showed how much he was suffering.

She turned with face towards the crowd and pointed at Flax .

" In the future , anyone who will dare to harm the family of Peter Willows will face the same treatment . This was merciful enough already but if it happens again , I won't hesitate to kill the other party . Is that clear ?!" said Kiara in a tone full of authority.

Everyone was scared to death from her performance just now and nodded in sign of agreement .

The doctors went immediately to take Flax at the hospital for immediate treatment.

A servant , approached Kiara and with his hand shaking he handed over half of the Heir token to her .

Kiara bowed in sign of respect towards mr Ranch and left without adding any other words , leaving the whole family traumatized by her immense strength and skillfulness .
