Chapter 55
Leigh-Ann’s POV
I gasped for air and tried clawing his hand away from my neck but couldn’t. It felt like the more I tried, the more his grip hardened.
He pinned her and placed his left hand on the wall, just above her head. Didn’t know he was this tall but that was the least of my concern. What did I do wrong?
Okay, okay, I called him a stupid slime ball but that was a mistake which I meant wholeheartedly. Of course, he’s a slime ball, isn’t he? He’s just so bitter and ruthless and…
” Argh! Please let me go, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to… to…”
His grip hardened around my neck and I felt my eyes gently moving out of their socket. I could hardly breathe too.
I felt like I was gonna pass out at any moment and with my last strength, I grabbed his chest and ran my hand to the side of his stomach. He was so strong that I could feel it even in my subconscious mind.
” I’ll… I’ll do anything you ask of me… ” I croaked and gripped him hard by the side and I think that did the magic cause he let me go, stepping away immediately.
I fell to the ground and began coughing, not able to understand what just happened. Did my touch affect him? Oh no, that can’t be true.
I took in enough air and managed to crawl off. I couldn’t spend any more seconds with him. Jeez. I’m starting to get the idea that hurting people makes him happy. Or maybe I’m wrong. I think he only hurts people who offend and get in his way.
When I was sure I was far from him, I managed to get up on my feet. Like who does he think he is? Any reasonable person would have known it was all a mistake but him… He’s far from being reasonable.
” You almost strangled me! ”
He didn’t respond but kept staring coldly at me. I was sure to keep my distance though. I wouldn’t be talking back to him if I were two Inches away.
” Well, everything was your fault, not mine. You saw me coming, you should’ve avoided me but you didn’t. ” I said as I kept massaging my neck. God, it hurts. ” Let’s say you were just looking for a way to get hold of me. ”
For some time, I thought I was talking to myself but the hell, he was still there and wasn’t dumb so he could hear me.
” I get you’re still mad that I misplaced your necklace but you should’ve punished me then instead of stalking me now. I don’t like trouble so I’ll try as much as possible to stay away from you. You should stay away from me… ah… you … you should stay away too ”
Slowly, I turned to walk off but turned back almost immediately in fright. I was scared he was gonna catch me and kill me this time.
When I was sure he hadn’t moved, I turned and raced off without stopping till I got to my room. Phew! That was close.

Kyler’s POV
I looked down at where she had touched me and clenched my jaw. How dare she?
Over the years, no lady touched me and lived. Well, except Jigyasa but that little maid just did and I let her go.
It had come as a shock because I had let go of her immediately and stepped away, giving her the chance to escape but I noticed something.
Something rare to find in ladies. She was smart.
I smirked when I remembered how she had rushed off to the end of the hallway so she could talk back at me knowing I wouldn’t get her easily.
She could be smart in her little ways but she can never outsmart me. No one can.
I smirked evilly and tucked both hands inside my pocket. Let’s see how it goes. I guess I’ll have to play a little with Kael’s kitten. Let’s see how smart she really is.

Yes!!!
Finally, we were done with our examinations and of course, I couldn’t expect more for vacation. I noticed Daggers was coming over with his boys and frowned a bit.
For the past two weeks, he’s been with me along with his boys and just as Ariana had said, they’re protecting me but who the hell needs their protection anyways?
” What’s up Babe, exams are over ” He announced like he had won the world war. I rolled my eyes and focused on packing out my things from the locker.
In case you’re wondering, He’s been asking me out and inviting me to club shits but of course, I used examinations as an excuse but with him standing beside my locker now, I knew he was back at it again.
“Yunno, Sometimes I try to get mad at you but I can’t. You say whatever, walk out of me and do whatever you like but I can’t just show you that you’re not supposed to do all those, that you’re supposed to obey me”
I scoffed and finally turned to him. I think that was his best sermon but damn, he was handsome. Well, not that handsome to make me like him a bit more.
“Okay, am sorry please,” I said apologetically then faked a brooding face “I know you want to hangout with me but I don’t do those types of shits. I don’t party, don’t go clubbing and I don’t hang out”
He sighed and then touched his forehead with his fingers. “Fuckenings Leigh, I’ve missed a lot of parties because of you”
I rolled my eyes and when he looked up at me, I returned the brooding look. “But it’s good. You’re now studying more and partying less.”
Students started hanging around as always but I didn’t really care. Somehow, Accepting to be Daggers’s woman has changed me a lot. Am not that nervous and fearful ash-headed girl who everyone laughed at in school anymore.
“You’re changing me and am fucking not liking it” He added.
Aside from accepting to be his woman, I also changed him a lot since he confessed he liked me. The Daggers that everyone was always afraid of were now forced to mingle with students instead of staying in the private quarters when there were no lectures and drilling holes to death.
Most students in the gang likes me, including the other boys who are the top leaders of the gang and that way, the gang has been peaceful like exactly how it should be.
I looked up at him and he did the same. Strangely, I don’t feel a single thing for him until now.
Slowly, he brought his face to mine but I didn’t move away.
Didn’t want him to feel that I was always rejecting him so I pecked him on the cheeks instead while he held my waist. Ouch!
The students squealed and took photos. I hate this.

“Seems you’re a lot better with Daggers,” Stiles said and smirked, making me roll my eyes. I looked away from him and tried to focus on the novel I was reading. What’s his problem?
He sighed and then came to sit beside me. We’ve been talking since after he helped me escape from the rival gang and I’m still tryna take him as a friend though.
“Pictures of you two are everywhere. Even pictures of Daggers in a place no one expected” He added but I chuckled instead.
“Oh yeah, admit it, I’m changing him”
“Yeah, everyone says so but I hope you won’t In turn change too”
I shot him a stare but he looked away.
“What’s your problem this time huh?” I asked and hit him with the book. He chuckled.
“Am just glad you’re now better at school unlike before”
I rolled my eyes then turned back to the novel I was reading. I’ve been better but one thing no one knows is my encounter with Quavo at the restroom where he had almost stripped me naked.
He had taken off my dress leaving me on my bra and panties. I didn’t know he had placed a video camera that recorded everything that went on until I had hit his head on the wall and tried to escape.
He then revealed the video camera and promised to leak the video if I didn’t leave Bleeding Daggers after this session.
Now, this session is over and I’ve been thinking so hard about how I could accomplish that knowing fully well that he still had the video.
“Why do you care?” I suddenly asked out of my thoughts. Stiles has been here for me and I wanted to know why.
He stared deeply into my eyes but the look in his felt different and I couldn’t tell.
“Because I.. I…” He was interrupted when a call came in and on checking the caller, he stood up immediately.
“It’s Sir Kael, I’ve gotta go,” He said and rushed off. Because what? Why didn’t he complete what he was saying?
