Kieran's POV
Xander was beyond joyous to know that I had decided to accept his deal. I made it clear that it was strictly a business deal and we signed contracts and shook hands on it.
And for the first time in a long while, I felt liberated.
Truly.
It felt like I was finally able to own something of mine.
For now, I was going to keep working, just until serious preparations started. But not as much as I normally do.
I had to reduce my workload in order to have time to follow up with the preparations.
There was so much to do and I had a to-do list to guide me every step of the way. And of course, my goddess-sent angel, Xander.
We had just decided on furniture to be used and we were on our way to the palace. I was free for the day.
By now, we had chosen the perfect location for the salon. It was so perfect, I almost cried.
Then we met with a decorator and I pitched what I had envisioned for the salon. How I wanted it to look, everything.
