Chapter 51
Leigh-Ann’s POV
Throughout the night, I couldn’t sleep even for a second. I felt hurt and so fucking heartbroken. Not that I love him, I just like him as my boss but was this true after my actions had betrayed me?
I took advantage of him and I know I shouldn’t have. He was drunk and looked helpless. Deep down, I wished things could be more different the next day, I couldn’t wish for more.
After dressing up, I waited for Kael to ring me up but since he didn’t, I had to go down and get his breakfast ready. On descending the stairs, I met Kenver who was on a call, and immediately, I dashed off. I didn’t want him to see me.
For some time now, he’s not been on my neck and of course, I’ve tried hard to keep away from him.
“What happened to Sir Kael?” Rea asked in a whisper
“He got down as early as 5 Am to have his breakfast”
Huh??? I turned to look at her surprised. What did she just say?
“You could imagine how pleased we were because he ate here in the kitchen.” She added with a smile on her face.
I arched my brows and looked around. Did she just say Kael ate here? “Um… maybe you’re mistaken”
She made to speak but turned away immediately as if afraid of someone’s presence. Before I could turn, I heard him from behind.
“Long time no see, Leighie” Kenver’s cold voice broke in. Oh goodness. I thought this was over.
I turned at once to look at him and then I noticed the mischievous smirk plastered on his lips which meant he wasn’t up to anything good.
“You’ve sure been good”
I held my breath and looked away, trying to focus on making Kael’s breakfast. God, please let him just go away.
“Did you miss me huh? You couldn’t even check up on me, not cool” He said and came to stand beside me and then took his fingers to my hair. “She’s still the beautiful ash-haired witch who turned me down. Tell me Leighie, what in the name of cöck have I done to you huh? You see I’m not a bad person, I’m the best”
I tried to move away from him but he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me closer to himself. “Where are you going Leighie? Don’t tell me you’re running.”
“Let me go!” I half yelled and tried to move away from him.
“Yeah, I will but that’s after I make sure that I’ve gotten what I want. Too bad I don’t give up easily”
I tried to push him away but instead of getting off, he brushed his lips on mine forcefully.
“You bastard, Get off me!” I yelled and spat on his face. It felt like a shock to him because he released my waist and touched the saliva on his face then he smirked.
Before I could think of rushing out, he grabbed me immediately and yanked my hair before shoving me against the wall.
“I’m not the kind of bastard you think, bitch” He gritted and pressed me against the wall. “You know I can just strip you right here and fuck the living hell out of you”

Kael’s POV
I rang Leigh-Ann twice but surprisingly, she didn’t pick up and after waiting for some time, I decided to join the others for breakfast.
“Heard you won the contract,” Kyler said once I arrived at the dining. ” Congratulations ”
Okay, was it me or he was just being cool today? I wasn’t in the mood to respond so I sat down instead. I still felt pains in my arm and wasn’t in any mood to have a stressed conversation with anyone.
Kash joined us and as usual, Kenver was nowhere here. Besides, where the fuck is that girl I call my maid huh? It looks like she was starting to forget her duties here.
“You should stay off the Company for some time. I’m afraid whoever wants to kill you is still out there” Kash cautioned and I scoffed before relaxing on my seat. He could be a real chicken sometimes.
Kash acted like a mother to us. He was always concerned and so fucking caring while Kyler acted like a father, less talking, all grumpy, and more action. It’s just that I’m ready to let things slide if not Kyler would’ve found out who shot me without a waste of time.
After waiting for Leigh-Ann without any trace of her, I decided to make myself a cup of tea. Though the maids were there, I just couldn’t let them do a thing for me since I’ve got a maid already.
On arriving at the kitchen, I met… huh? Fuck me sideways! At first, it was surprising because they stood close to each other but then I noticed that Leigh-Ann was struggling to break free.
I got closer and decided not to interrupt but Kenver called out to me. “Yo man looks like you’ve healed up pretty good”
I didn’t respond but just asked one of the maids to get me a cup. As I said earlier, I’m not ready for any stressed-up conversation.
“But I’ve been thinking. What if the bullet had hit you in the head, blowing your brains off ” He asked and chuckled lightly like it was some joke. “I’ve also been thinking who the hell the enemy could be, I mean you’ve been good to every fucking body”
I made my tea in silence and when I was done, I turned to walk out.
“But you never know man, keep your friends close and your enemies closer” Kenver added with a smirk and I finally walked out.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer huh? Whatever that means.

Leigh-Ann’s POV
I watched him silently as he walked off, my heart beating heavily. The way he acted showed he didn’t care about what happened but does that mean he can’t remember what happened last night?Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Oh, look how she’s staring at her boss,” Kenver teased and chuckled lightly. I flushed with anger and looked away immediately.
“You never know Leighie but one thing’s for sure. You’re Kael’s maid, his slime servant, and trust me, he’ll never look at you differently. But I assure you, I’ll get in between those sticks of yours any sooner or later. You don’t know when.”
I shot him a disgusting look which made him chuckle as he walked off, I wiped my lips with the back of my palm, pervert.

Kash’s POV
After lectures, we were supposed to have a basketball game so we all strolled down to the court with Dulga clutching my arm.
“I see the way you stare at Eleanor. What’s so special about her huh?” She suddenly asked and Instead of giving a reply, I turned to search around for her.
“If you’re looking for her then you should know she’s not a fun type. She’s a bookworm.” She added with an eye roll.
I’ve been thinking a whole lot about Eleanor lately and sometimes, she practically avoids us. Dulga’s phone beeped and on taking a glance at the caller, she withdrew her arm from mine.
“Um… I’ve gotta go” She said and before I could respond, she rushed off. It’s so fucking obvious how she rushes off to pick calls.
I looked around and when I noticed the game wasn’t starting anytime soon, I turned back to follow Dulga. I lost track of her and that happened cause I wasn’t even following her anymore, I was after someone else.
“Hey… you… dropped this off” Oh, goddamn it. Exactly the person I was looking for.
“Did I ?” I asked and tucked both hands in my pocket as I turned to face her “Looks like there’s something more. You’ve been avoiding me”
She lowered her head and looked up at me.
“Of course not. I’ve been keeping away from trouble”
“What trouble really?”
“Um… I’ll just leave now,” she said and turned to leave but then she paused to look at me. “Fine, the truth is that I don’t wanna have any kinda emotional trouble.”
“What emotional trouble?” I asked and took a step towards her. “Tell me. It’s just the both of us here”
She gulped hard and flashed a smile at me, exposing her dimples. “I can’t say it. You might not feel the same way” She replied and bit her lips nervously. Damn, if only she knew what she was doing to me.
I got over to her and raised her chin then kissed her for some time. “The first one was tagged a mistake but this isn’t”
After saying that, I carried her and made her sit on my arm with our lips still locked together.

She untied her hair and my mouth parted slightly at such beauty. The way her hair covered part of her face gave her this sexy look. Haven’t seen anyone prettier.
She took off her dress and was now left on her pants and bra. God! her skin was so fair and spotless.
“I’m so sorry for this Kash but it has to be done,” She said and came over to join me on the bed.
