Chapter 38
Leigh-Ann’s POV
” Very well then, let’s play nicely,” He said and before I knew it, he grabbed my shawl which fell off my shoulders freely then reached for my chest.
I gasped and wrapped my arms more tightly around my body. What the fuck was he doing huh? He grabbed my hands immediately, pulling them away from my chest, I half yelled. Has he gone insane???
What necklace was he even talking about? ” Please let me go!” I whimpered. I couldn’t fight back because he was too strong for me.
He didn’t say a word as we kept struggling and just then my head snapped in realization. The necklace! Was he referring to the one I had picked from the dining table?
If he was then how did he even figure out I was with it? When I had picked it no one was around so how the fuck did he know?
Oh, silly me. Why didn’t I think it through? I had picked the necklace at the end of the table which happened to be where he always sat now guess what, I was in so much trouble with the coldest guy I’ve ever met.
” I… I don’t have the necklace. What are you even talking about?”
” So let’s say whoever was on the camera was your twin huh?” He asked fiercely and I gasped in shock. Goodness! What have I gotten myself into?
” Take your hands off me!” I cried out but he silenced me by placing his hand over my mouth. I kept struggling to break free and bit his palm which was over my mouth but it didn’t have any effect on him because he didn’t pull away.
Oh goodness Leigh, what the hell have you gotten yourself into?
” Stay still ” He ordered and grabbed me by the waist, keeping me in place. I had no choice but to obey as my life depended on it.
At the moment, I was his prey and it was his will to feast on me or let me go. Besides, I had something that belonged to him and I was sure he wouldn’t take it back without making me pay for it.
” What’s your name?”
” Leigh-Ann” I replied in a shudder.
” I don’t know soft and I wouldn’t wanna learn it either so it will be the same as before. Give me the necklace and I’ll let you go. If you keep yelling, you know the consequences. I’ll tell everyone you stole what belonged to me. How about that?”
I shook my head in fear trying to imagine everyone tagging me as a thief. That wouldn’t be the only ugly thing to happen to me. I’ll lose my job too. Kael wouldn’t even wanna hear shit from me.
” And let’s pray you didn’t give the necklace to any of my brothers, ” He added.
I stood like a statue with his hand over my mouth and didn’t dare make a sound. But wait. Why did he care if I gave it to his brothers?
” Answer me! ”
I didn’t make a sound but just stood there staring at him. He was very handsome. Too cute to be a cold-hearted person.
He took his hand off my mouth and reached for my chest again and this time I knew nothing could stop him. I had to protect myself.
The next action I took startled me cause I never imagined it. I kicked in between his legs with my knee making him groan In pain. I used that opportunity to rush off knowing I had just signed my death warrant.

I was sure to lock my door and shut my windows immediately after I got into my room. My body was shaking and my heart kept beating like it was gonna jump out of my chest at any moment.
What have you done Leigh-Ann? He’s gonna hunt you down.
I kept pacing restlessly as the recent incident crossed my mind over and over again. Kyler is a devil and I had just signed a deal with him. I couldn’t forget the number of times I crossed his path and the things he did to me. How could I be so careless?
My eyes were wide open all through the night. I was too afraid to fall asleep cause his deadly gaze kept burning into my mind. I was so afraid and scared of what was gonna happen the next day.

Tess’s POV
After several rounds with Kenver, I didn’t just feel it as I kept thinking about Kael. I miss him so much and somehow I was ashamed I did. I mean he dumped me.
When Kenver left for a brief meeting with his Executives, I sneaked into Kael’s Zone to meet him. It wasn’t hard getting in cause everywhere was open and It got me wondering.
I walked in and met the bed scattered along with clothes that were left on the floor. I bit my lower lips at the thought of him being with another girl as jealousy swept through me.
The feeling immediately vanished once I saw him standing on the balcony. He stood shirtless so I walked over and hugged him from behind, making sure my boobs pressed hard on his back.
“Kael…” I called out sweetly. Gosh, I so missed him and wanted him.
He didn’t respond and I trailed my fingers on his bare tattooed chest. Why do I find it hard to ditch this guy? It felt so difficult to let go and forget him. There was just so much to this guy than his brother, Kenver and it was making me lose control.
He turned slowly and held my waist while I buried my head on his chest. I just needed him back and to think of the fact that he was holding my waist made me go crazy. Nothing else mattered than his forgiveness.
He began taking slow steady steps into the room, moving me backward in the process. When he got close to the bed, he pushed me on it and I waited patiently for him to join me but he didn’t. He just stood there looking at me.
“What’re you doing here Tess?”
“Kael… I… I can’t let you go” I replied as I felt hot tears building up in my eyes. He scoffed then chuckled slightly.
“And what makes you think I’ll take you back?” He asked, then folded his arms. The look on his face was priceless. Was there anything off about this guy?
“I ended things with you, I mean, I dumped you. Then you ran over to Kenver and now you’re back here” He said and pause “You’re the dirtiest wh*re I’ve ever met”
I gasped in shock “Kael please…”
“I don’t give a fuck on why you came back or what you’re up to but I don’t ever wanna see you near me or my stuff again and that includes Leigh-Ann”
He made to walk off but he stopped. “One more thing Tess. I dumped you in the trash where you belonged. What makes you think I’ll walk back there and pull out something useless like you? Don’t just cross me again, Tess. Pray not to cause if you mistakenly do, you’re done for”

Stiles’s POV
I tried reaching out to Leigh a couple of times but she meant it when she said she never wanted to talk to me. Right now, I feel so guilty.
I should’ve kept my whole opinion regardless of my feelings towards her. Trust me, I didn’t mean any harm. The talks all over school along with her rivals made me so concerned and I could say I was worried.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
These whole gang stuff seemed to be hovering up on her too.
To get this straight, Daggers needs her as one of his girlfriends and as I’ve heard from most older gang members, he does that when every new set of students comes in.
They also spoke of Quavo and how odd it looked that he wanted Leigh-Ann too. As I heard, he never ran after girls cause they always chased after him in their folds. He doesn’t have any kind of special girls like his woman or girlfriend and now, it looks really weird that he’s after an innocent girl without naming his purpose.
I just gave her my sincere opinion because I didn’t want her to move on in this triangle which might result in war between the two gangs.
I also heard the only solution was for her to become Daggers’s woman since she wasn’t initiated and believe me when I say the thought of it burned me out.
I wish she could understand that I care instead of misunderstanding whatever I said. I care too much about her to see her hurt.

Sir Kael called me up and said he needed me urgently at his Zone so I rushed over.
“Um… get all that work done and you can get whatever you want for yourself. Bills on me.”
“Thank you, Sir, I’ll leave first,” I said and bowed slightly. Kael is the best Boss ever. He’s fuckin’ cool and freaking generous.
“And… you’re not doing that alone. You’re going with Leigh-Ann”
*
I tried hard to concentrate while driving the car. It looked so strange why Sir Kael asked me to work with Leigh-Ann. Not that I didn’t like it but I’ve always done this alone.
“Um…” I started languorously and gulped nothing “I just wanted to ask if you’re comfortable with the Air condition”
I didn’t expect a reply and of course, I didn’t get any. Wo, great! Thank you, Sir Kael, you gave me such an amazing snub as a partner.
