K-Brothers And The Little Maid

Leigh-Ann’s POV

Ariana was finally released and though she looked all pale and weak, she still thanked me for accepting to be Daggers’ woman. “I’m really sorry it had to be this way,” She said and sighed.

I was more worried about her wounds but she smiled anyway. “It’s nothing. It’ll heal up in no time.”

I wanted to call her parents but she insisted I didn’t. “They can’t hear about this. I’ll just pay my way home and tell them that I decided to visit a distant relative or I’ll cook up something else but I’ll be fine”

*

All of this wasn’t my plan. How on earth do I cope with all of this? Eventually, everyone is gonna find out and there’s no escape route. They’re gonna find out that I accepted to be Daggers’ girlfriend.

“So… you finally accepted to be Daggers’ woman, huh? Not only that, you stole my place”

I wasn’t in the mood to respond so I didn’t bother looking up. I was so tired and worked up. She yanked my hair and then made me face her. “How dare you?”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I didn’t wanna struggle with her. Of course, I deserved this from her after saying yes to her beloved Daggers. What was I expecting? That I’ll be given a standing ovation for this?

She pushed me roughly and I fell to the ground but then I tried to stand up. I felt so weak at the moment and maybe it was because of the decision I made some minutes ago.

” You know you shouldn’t be laying hands on me ” I muttered and made to stand up but she kicked me down again. What the heck does she want from me huh?

” You bitch! I warned you and thought you’d be wise enough to heed to it but you just showed me how much of an idiot you are ”

” It’s not my fault Daggers wanted me from the beginning. I don’t like him either. If only he knew how his face makes me wanna poke each time I lay eyes on him, he’d prolly stay away from me. But wait. Is that someone you’re fighting over?”

I managed to my feet and then stood to watch as anger and humiliation boiled up inside her and spilled over in a froth of rage. ” You shameless thing…” She shrieked and rushed over to touch me but I grabbed her instead and shoved her against the wall. She groaned.

” I’ve tolerated you enough Ceeara. That doesn’t mean I’m a fool. ” I left her and turned to walk off when she suddenly grabbed my hand from behind.

“Lot of people have walked out on me recently and what makes you think you can do the same? ”

” Let go of my hand ”

” Or what? ” She fired back and with great force, I pulled my hand away from her then I grabbed her by the neck.

” Don’t taste my patience Ceeara.” With that, I pushed her and she fell off to the ground. She stood up immediately. Someone should better hold her cause if I lose it, I might break her face. I know y’all think I’m some weak girl but I’m not. Over the years of me being alone, I fought for myself.

” Why are you running, huh? ” She said from behind then yanked my hair ” You’re so weak, such a loser!”

“You’re not permitted to lay as tiny as your breath on her” I heard the familiar voice and looked up at once. Stiles. “You wouldn’t want Daggers to hear about this so get lost”

Ceeara held her breath then released her grip on my hair. She was madly furious and even a blind person could sense it at the moment. She paused to say something but walked out instead while Stiles closed the door behind her. What is he doing here?

“Are you okay?” He asked and walked further into the room while I rolled my eyes.

” I’m fine and I had everything under control. You shouldn’t have interfered”

” You could’ve made a mess ” I didn’t respond but just pulled off a strand of hair from my face. “I heard what you did. Why?”

There was this depth in his voice I couldn’t figure out. It sounded more like sadness and hurt but I doubted it was. “There could have been a better way, not you accepting to be his woman” He added and came to stand in front of me.

“I didn’t have a choice” I responded ruefully “I had to save Ariana. I had to end all the fights”

He remained quiet and finally spoke up. “Those were just tricks to get you. None of those were real”

I shot him a stare and scoffed. Was he being real at the moment? “Did you see Ariana? They almost killed her”

“Leigh-Ann… ” He called out and took a step closer to me. He wanted to touch me but I stepped away “I… ”

“Why do you act like you care huh? ”

He didn’t respond but sighed instead. “Let’s go”

Stiles’s POV

I tried to focus on the road but my mind kept going back to Leigh-Ann. I knew everything was gonna happen late. The thought of her hanging around with Daggers and being tagged as his girlfriend made my chest burn.

Why did the Leadership Election have to be so far from now huh? I was hoping she could hold up until the next term but she didn’t.

After driving for some time, I finally pulled up at Sir Kael’s packing lot while Derek got down to open the door for him. I wanted to talk to Leigh but she got down immediately and walked off.

Undoubtedly, I know she’s still mad at me and doesn’t wanna have anything to do with me but can someone tell her that I care?

I walked into my quarters and fell on my bed. School Examination commences next week and trust me when I say I haven’t been able to get anything straight.

I stood up and pulled off my shirt but then, there was a soft knock on the door. Normally, I thought it was Derek or any of the guys out there but to my surprise, it was Maerie.

The fuck!

She rushed in immediately and smiled. “Hey!” She greeted me.

I couldn’t respond as I kept staring and thinking about why she was in my room. It felt strange. I also noticed she fiddled with something that looked like a piece of paper.

“What’re you doing here?” I asked, trying to keep my tone as calm as possible. She didn’t respond but kept staring at my shirtless body.

I sighed and rushed over to the window and peered through it. I hope no one saw her come in else I am done for. “Come on, you need to leave”

“Um… I … I’ve got something for you”

I closed my eyes and rubbed my forehead. It’s definitely one of her letters she’s been dropping off lately and I knew it but why now? What if someone caught her walking in?

“Please try sending me a reply. You can write anything, I wouldn’t mind” She added and came towards me. She proffered the paper and taking a glance at it, I got it from her then stuffed it inside my pocket. She smiled and finally walked out.

When I was sure that she was gone, I took the paper out and read the content. This is the first time I’m reading any of her letters. I usually drop them in my drawer and never take them out.

Hmm.

She likes me a lot and wishes we could have more time together. Okay. She’s usually sad and heartbroken when I don’t reply to her letters or when I act like she doesn’t exist.

She wishes she was lucky like Leigh-Ann to join us in CamBridge but of course, she wouldn’t wanna give herself out like how Leigh-Ann did to acquire all the favors from Sir Kael. Like what the fuck does she mean by that?

I chuckled lightly and squeezed the paper in my hand then I tossed it into the trash can. I had a bad day and this wasn’t making it better.

Kenver’s POV

“And the winner of the One point Eight Trillion contract is…”

I smiled inwardly and straightened my suit, ready to stand up. Who else would be the winner? Of course, It’s none other than me.

“The winner Is… Sir Kael Shal’Kan ”

Wtf???

I looked around and for some time I wasn’t getting anything straight. Everything suddenly felt strange to me and I couldn’t understand as everyone kept applauding with smiles on their faces.

Kael stood up gently and walked over to the head table. I stared at him like he had just landed from an alien spaceship without being able to understand a thing. What was he doing, standing there and why was everyone giving him a standing ovation? This can’t be. How can this be possible?

Amongst the ten of us on the list who aspired to win the contract, we had been shortlisted to five with me being among the first three. It was now shortlisted to three with me being the first while Kael was the second person on the list so how come he won the contract huh?

Immediately after the meeting, I rushed out to the restroom to smoke because I needed to calm my nerves. Damn, I so hate that son of a wh*re. He’s always overtaking me no matter how hard I tried and was always posing as the smartest.

Damn, I’ll kill that b@stard.

The muscle in my jaw worked with rage and slowly, I took out my gun from my jacket then pecked it. “I swear I’ll blow off your brain, Kael, it’s my f*cking promise to you”
