Chapter 91
Leigh-Ann’s POV
After dressing up the next morning, I walked over to the dining area to get breakfast ready for Kael. Accept it or not, I’m still his maid and I owe him such duties.
” Welcome back Leigh, I thought you wouldn’t come back,” Jenny said as she poured me a cup of milk while Esme gave me a plate of bacon and scrambled eggs as I had asked for. I sat to eat. This was what I did whenever Kael wasn’t down for breakfast.
” So where exactly did you spend your vacation huh? ”
” Bolivia ” I responded with a mouth full of scrambled eggs ” A Spanish speaking Country ”
” Wow, however did you cope over there? ” Another asked.
” Were there handsome guys over there? Like the K-Brothers? ”
” Were you still working as a maid there? ”
As I opened my mouth to respond, Maerie walked in and I heaved in relief. Finally, someone to save me from all the questions.
” Hey, Maerie ” I waved at her. ” You hungry? You can join me ”
” Um… I’m not very hungry because I’m kinda tired. I’ve been working my ass all morning ”
” Oh well, I’m sorry about that but um… why don’t you have some milk then? ” I said and asked but she shook her head negatively. It surprised me that she didn’t look as tired as she claimed.
” You know you’re pretty lucky you get the chance to eat at your own will. Who knows if you get dessert at Sir Kael’s zone as well ”
The rest of the maids giggled and I furrowed my brows in surprise. What was she talking about?
” Dessert? ” I asked but she cut me off almost immediately.
” Come on Leigh, we’re two different sets of people here. The one who works their ass out and goes with nothing much and the one who doesn’t necessarily have to do anything useful but at the end has everything ”
I couldn’t understand so I just stared blankly at her, at them because they were all giving me this very weird look. As I opened my mouth to speak, one of the maids came in to announce the arrival of the brothers.
The rest of the maids started moving out while the rest resumed their duties but I just stood like I was lost. What did she mean by what she just said? I still couldn’t understand.
” Sir Kael’s on the table, you should go,” Esme said, breaking into my thoughts. I turned and looked at her and then back at my breakfast ” I’ll just cover it up for you. I can make another tea for you when you’re back cause this one would surely get cold before you return ”
I nodded slowly and walked out of the kitchen but not without stopping at the door to glance back at Maerie who stood with the other maids talking and laughing. Why do I suddenly have this odd feeling?
I got into the dining and dished out Kael’s breakfast and for the first time in weeks, we looked at each other. I looked away immediately and poured him a glass of water like I always do before going back into the kitchen.
My eyes caught with Kenver but I didn’t hold his gaze as I looked away. That monster. If Kyler hadn’t shown up last night I guess it would’ve all been a different story. Speaking of him, I turned to the head of the table but he wasn’t there. Let’s say he wasn’t here yet.
Kash walked in and on seeing me, his face lit with smiles ” Leigh, you look different ”
I smiled and looked off without responding. What was I to say when I looked the same of course? I was still a maid and very well vulnerable to his Psychotic brother.
Kyler walked in wearing a black hoodie which suited him evenly. He looked much more handsome, especially with the way his hair curved out on his forehead. Gosh, was I admiring him? Shame on you Leigh.
After breakfast, I helped the maids in clearing the table before I finally sat to have my breakfast. The maids didn’t ask any more questions and that was a big relief.
When I was done having breakfast, I walked out of the mansion to find Stiles but was told he had taken Kael out for some business meetings. Whatever, like I cared. But wait a minute, was I seriously holding grudges against Kael? If yes then why? Cause he didn’t use me as I had wanted?
If I’m to give answers to that, I’ll say he saved me from making a Terrible mistake. One I was gonna sit back some years later and regret.
I had nothing to do and was bored. I couldn’t hook up with Maerie cause the attitude she had shown off earlier didn’t guarantee that. Was she mad at me? But why? Last night when I had gotten back, she had been all clingy and cheerful. What happened to that?

[Later in the day]
I woke up from my short nap and walked out of my room lazily. I was damn hungry and since Kael hadn’t rung me up I had to go down and have lunch.
” What were the meals you ate over in Bolivia? Anything better than ours? ” Esme asked and came to stand in front of me. She was the only one who wasn’t giving me an attitude.
” Spicy chicken ” I blurted out remembering the very first time I tasted it. Ace had fed me with it and I ended up choking due to… ” Yes, their meals are good but I won’t say they’re anywhere close to being better than ours ”
She laughed and walked off leaving my lunch. When I was done, I walked out. Everywhere was so damn boring and for the first time in my whole life, I prayed for school to resume. I couldn’t wait to see Ariana and tell her all about my vacation.
Two men wearing black suits caught my attention as they walked up the stairs holding two black briefcases. I looked around to be sure no one was watching before following suit.
They didn’t divert but kept moving up the stairs which only meant they were heading to Kyler’s zone. Good time to sneak in without being caught.
I was highly careful to avoid being caught and finally, I was able to get into the zone. Jeez, I didn’t think walking in on someone would be this hard and tense.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Now, what do I do? Where do I find answers huh? How do I get close to finding out all the secrets Alejandra had mentioned? How…
” You make a single sound and you’re dead ” Before I knew it, a gag was placed on my mouth and I was huddled off. What the? It wasn’t Kyler cause that was not his voice. I’m busted. Someone must’ve caught me sneaking in.
