Chapter 54
Kim’s POVContent rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
I stood in the room assigned to me not knowing what to do. Aside from asking Leigh-Ann about the boys, I knew about all of them, deep-rooted.
Just as Kash had tried to say, I’ve known them aIl through my life and have been looking out for them. Kyler’s rejection and hatred came when I told him I was going away.
He had asked me to stay but I had to escape with reasons best known to me. Amongst all the brothers, I’ve known Kyler the most.
Since he was a kid, he was always the grumpiest, hot-tempered, and coldest. He had stabbed a maid for brewing his tea and that should explain that Kyler was born cold-hearted.
I knew it wouldn’t be easy coming back into their lives but I had to try even when my life was on the line and as mercies could have it, I succeeded.
Most people might think Kyler just decided to make me his Personal Assistant for just no reason but of course, I know what I signed up for and I’m ready for the task.
I couldn’t just admit the truth to Kash because I was afraid Kyler would end my life without thinking twice but eventually, time would tell.

After having a quick shower, I was called by Kyler, and trust me, I couldn’t help shivering. It felt like I had been summoned by the King of hell himself.
When we arrived at the room, the guards motioned for me to walk inside which I did.
“They’re gonna be fucking rules and trust me if you make any goddamn mistake in breaking one, you’re dead.” He stated coldly and I gulped nothing. This is it, I guess.
“You’re fond of telling stories as I can remember but that was In the goddamn past. As I know, my brothers don’t know how much of a traitor you are and I’ll advise you to act pretty well like you don’t know them too”
“Don’t talk to them or relate with them. Don’t even dare to make them like you and of course they won’t. You’re here to do the job you signed in for so focus on it. You’re not to say a word to me unless I ask for your opinions which of course are useless. You’re not to stand an inch from where I am and you’re to stay away from all that belongs to me”
I gulped hard and shut my eyes so tight, trying to hold up my tears from rolling down. I had to because if I didn’t, I’d only appear weak in front of him.
“You breathing the same air as mine makes my throat burn and you know me, Kim, I hate you with everything in me and I wish I could screw your neck for all the lies you told me” He gruffed coldly and this time, I couldn’t hold back the tears. His voice was filled with so much hatred and I could feel it.
“If there’s any mistake I swear on your asshole, I’ll kill you, do you understand?”
“Yes… yes I do”
I flinched when he stood up from his seat and came to stand behind me.
“You wanna know what I do to people who stutter my replies?” He asked coldly while I shook my head negatively. I was so afraid and almost fainted when something cold touched my neck. I shivered when I discovered what it was, a gun.
“You may not know when or where I’ll end you, Kim. I could be so full of surprises”

Kyler’s POV
I got down for dinner with my tobacco pipe sticking to my mouth.
All the maids I saw rushed off before I could get to wherever they stood. That wasn’t my problem though, it always happened, they feared me and dreaded my presence.
From a distance, I sighted the ash head and at once, the memories from our previous encounter replayed in my mind. I hated the memory.
She was the first girl to ever cross my path. Not only did she cross my path, she had also hit me so hard to my point of weakness, and still, I had let her go.
She had a book with her and looked engrossed in it. Who told her that walking and reading were a habit? She looked so lame to me. Where the fuck did Kael get her from?

Leigh-Ann’s POV
Okay, this was the second time I got over to the dining to serve Kael but he was nowhere to be found. Where the hell was he?
Gosh, that guy could be annoying as fuck. Did he know exams were commencing the next week and I had to study hard for them? No, I bet he didn’t know that. Was he done with fucking all the ladies huh?
Argh, why am I even thinking of that? It’s none of my business.
I tried focusing on the book I had carried along with me hoping I’ll pull something through but it didn’t work out cause my mind was always distracted by one thing or the other.
First, Kael, second Stiles, third, MAERIE. She had scared the hell out of me earlier today. What could’ve been wrong with her?
She had sounded sad and pissed and angry… Urgh, now my mind is distracted again. Why can’t you just focus on the book, Leigh? You’ve got an exam and when you fail, everyone’s gonna hear of how much of a dumb sack you are. Even Daggers would let you be including Quavo.
I smiled at the thought but frowned immediately. Who was I kidding? As much as Kael was paying so much for me to be in CamBridge, I had to pass the exams with good grades. But if I had a choice, I wouldn’t pass at all to see if those guys would let me be.
Oh, goodness Leigh!
” Argh! ” I groaned in anger and frustration. I needed to focus and read but when I couldn’t, it felt so annoying.
And boom, I bumped into someone and my book fell off. I groaned angrily and bent to pick it up. I hadn’t been looking all along but whoever it was should’ve avoided and gotten out of my way.
” You just couldn’t use your stupid eyes, could you? ” I blurted out and made to pick up the book but fell to my knees instead.
Okay, everything and everyone really had to get on my nerves.
” And you can’t say sorry after bumping into me. You’re such a stupid slime ball ” I huffed and grabbed my book then stood to my feet but that was when it dawned on me.
The person’s shoes. It didn’t look like a maid’s or a guard’s but one of the brothers. I froze at the spot as my mouth dropped. What the hell have I gotten into? Who could it be?
At the moment, the anger subsided and was replaced with nervousness and fear. Why didn’t I look up before saying shit?
Okay, let me guess.
Kash is already at the dining room with Kenver and that’s the main reason I couldn’t stay around cause I didn’t want him to lay eyes on me. Once he did, we all knew what could happen. I hated when he tried to touch me or lust over my body. That b@stard.
Now, two of the brothers are out and it’s two left. Kael and… Oh, no, no, no, I couldn’t even imagine it. I just prayed he was the…
” You’re really trying so hard to make me hate you more ” His cold voice broke in and the next moment, I was choking.
