Chapter 14
Kenver glared hard at him and fisted his hands but that didn’t scare Kael. That wasn’t the first time he was seeing him that way, looking like an animal who was ready to devour and since he delivered the message already, he turned and started walking towards the exit.
“I’m starving. I’ll eat you myself if you’re not in time” He said, referring to Leigh-Ann before he walked out the door intrepidly.
Leigh-Ann couldn’t believe it.
He’s rescuing me again but what must’ve made him change his mind? Just yesterday, he had ordered her out of his zone claiming he didn’t want her anymore and today, he was demanding breakfast.
She didn’t want to spend any more time in Kenver’s zone so she wore her maiden uniform and rushed towards the door before Kenver could get a hold of her.
“One more step and you’re dead Leighie” Kenver thundered but she was in no place to stop. He wasn’t her Master anyways so screw his balls.
Kael was already out of the room so it was just her and Kenver again but this time, she was far from his reach. She took a step but she wasn’t dead as he claimed so she turned and looked at him.
He was boiling with anger and that made Leigh-Ann very happy. She hadn’t been that excited in a very long time. She smirked and took another step just to dare Kenver but she was not still dead.
After taking the last step, she dashed out of the room. Guess who’s still alive and kicking.

Leigh-Ann stood in front of Kael’s room with the breakfast he had demanded. Gosh, she was so nervous. What was she to say when she got in there? How was she to act?
She made to press the ringer but paused when she heard loud moans, emanating from inside. What the? She leaned closer and finally confirmed it.
He was in there with some lady and they were fucking so what was she to do? Wasn’t he the one that demanded breakfast a while ago? She had to rush as fast as she could and almost fell off trying to rush up the stairs.
Should she wait until they were done or just leave to avoid trouble? Damn, she couldn’t even make any of such decisions, she was scared to. What If she leaves and he comes out to look for her?
After so many thoughts, she decided to wait and ended up waiting for more than an hour. Surprisingly, they weren’t done. She could still hear the lady’s moans and cries for him to stop.
She laughed quietly and turned to leave. Was the lady seriously begging him to stop? Didn’t she know about the deal she was signing in for before accepting it?
Oh, girls. They were one of a kind really and Leigh-Ann couldn’t even imagine herself in such a situation.
She got to the kitchen and dropped the tray of food then she decided to take a break. Even when she was asked to serve one person, it felt like she was serving everyone.
She got out to the garden where she had met Kash the previous night and couldn’t stop thinking about him. Was he okay? After seeing how heartbroken and sad he was, she doubted he had recovered.
She sat at the waterfall and didn’t know what to think about as she suddenly felt like a slave. But wait a second. Kael took her back and she should be thinking about that.
He went in just in time to save her and if he had not shown up, the rest of the story would’ve been an unforgettable one. How does she thank him?
“Seems Someone is lost in her thoughts,” Kash said, jerking me back to reality. She stood up immediately when she saw who it was and lowered her head.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Forget the formalities” He cut in and sat down an inch from where she stood “You may seat”
Leigh-Ann stood for some time like he didn’t hear him then she looked around. Was he talking to her? Like, one of the brothers?
“If you wouldn’t mind, you could stand and probably, with your hands up” He added and she sat down at once. Of course, she wouldn’t want that. It sounded like a punishment to her.
“You saved me yesterday. I would’ve killed myself or done something worse so am here to say thank you”
Leigh-Ann didn’t know what to say so she kept shut. What was she even supposed to say to him? That he was welcome and that she had been dying to know about the Lorna he cried so helplessly about?
“I loved her.” At that point, she could hear the pain in his voice but what got her surprised was how he was talking to her.
“Um… it’s okay sir… I… I can understand”
“You understand how you girls break our hearts huh?” He asked and turned to look at her. Nervously, Leigh-Ann bent her head and fiddled with her dress. Was it a heartbreak? She never thought of that.
“Tell me,” He asked calmly. It was unimaginable that one of the brothers could be this calm or was it because he got hurt by a girl?
“I… I didn’t mean it that way, Sir… I… I just said that cause I felt you loved her”
“What did I say last night?”
“You… you said you loved me,” She thought of saying but waved it off her mind. Who was I kidding though? Was that even possible for any of the brothers to fall for her?
“You said you loved her, you begged her not to leave you and that you could kill anyone for her” She replied instead and heard him chuckle. If only he knew that what he was laughing at now was hell last night, he wouldn’t be laughing.
“I made a fool of myself” He suddenly said quietly and lowered his head. Urgh, love. What does it feel like to be in love? Leigh-Ann thought. If being in love was the reason why Kash looked miserable the previous night then she surely wasn’t buying it.
“You were heartbroken and I believe you’ll be better off with someone who loves you despite your flaws,” Leigh-Ann said and looked away not even knowing where that came from.
“It’s just too ugly you all are the same.” Kash concluded and stood up. He was all dressed and ready to head out.
Leigh-Ann couldn’t say a word as she watched him walk away wondering what he meant by what he had just said.
“Hey, that’s not true. You’re just so bitter she dumped you. Go look for someone who loves you for the real you even when y’all are as heartless and bitter as fuck” She thought of yelling out but kept shut.
Who was she to say such? Besides, he looked different from the rest, he was.

Kael stood on the balcony with a glass of champagne as he stared at the garden. As expected, his door rang and after the third time, he pressed the remote which made it open.
“Good Afternoon Sir, you called for me” Leigh-Ann greeted after she had walked in. Kael didn’t respond as he took another sip of champagne.
He had been watching her and Kash from where he stood. That dude better not fall for this one. He dare not try to, else Kael was sure going to take his heart from its place if that was the only thing that could stop his beloved brother from falling in love.
“I need your name in short. It’s too long and irritating” He finally spoke up and turned to look at her. She lowered her head immediately and cleared her throat..”Leigh. It’s… it’s Leigh in short”
“So Leigh, I really wanna know about you as my maid. I see you already have the nerves to sit with my brother”
