K-Brothers And The Little Maid

Leigh-Ann’s POV

” What’s with the smiling face huh? ” Stiles asked and came to stand beside me. I chuckled and moved away ” You’ve been hyper in the last two days unlike a week ago. Care to tell me what’s up with you? ”

I rolled my eyes and turned to look at him. He had changed his hairstyle and looked much more handsome than ever.

” So what’s your problem if I choose to keep a smiling face? You know that doesn’t depict if I’m truly happy. You know that right? ”

” I’m just surprised. I’m beginning to think you’ve been up to something lately ”

” Whatever ” I muttered and looked away but he was right after all. I’ve been up to a whole lot of things lately which includes going back to the Brothers’ mansion. I just couldn’t wait for the vacation to come to an end.

” Sir Kael mentioned we’ll be leaving in three days,” He said and I turned to look at him. Oh really? Isn’t that perfect? Just what I’ve been praying for.

” But he also mentioned you might not come with us cause… ” He said and paused, and I furrowed my brows. I turned to face him squarely with arched brows.

” Cause what? ”

” Cause you must’ve made plans to remain here you know. Do you remember the modeling stuff? He said you might take the offer as well ”

I scoffed surprised and couldn’t believe my ears. Whenever did I turn to the topic of Kael’s discussion? When was that any of his business?

” Did he say all those? ” I had to ask but Stiles shook his head indicating ” No “. What does he mean anyway?

” He only mentioned you might not come with us, he didn’t give his reasons so I came up with mine. I mean, you’ve been enrolled in the modeling school already. The people here see you as a model. That’s enough reason for you to stay back here instead of coming back as a maid ”

I didn’t respond but stared blankly at him as I thought of it. He was right anyway. I’ve gone through a lot in the hands of the brothers and this was like a golden opportunity to stay back and put my life in order. To become something I never dreamed of.

” Leigh… are you okay? ” He called out, jerking me out of my thoughts. I looked up to realize I had been staring awkwardly at his lips the whole time.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

” Um… Sorry, what were you saying? ”

” Would you stay back? This is like a lifetime opportunity. You’re gonna escape the brothers and their shits including CamBridge. You won’t have to serve anyone Leigh, don’t you think that’s awesome? ”

I looked at him and couldn’t help but laugh. Was he really in support of me staying? It sounded quite absurd.

” Look, I know this might sound a little crazy but… I care about you and… I wouldn’t wanna see you get hurt ever again. ”

” Cut it out Stiles, am fine. This could wait, you know. I’ve gotta finish schooling first. Besides, being here alone without you guys would be damn boring. Who the fuck would I be speaking English with when everyone here speaks the language I don’t understand? ”

Stiles chuckled and we ended up laughing. I turned to look at him being aware of his concern earlier.

” Thank you for always being there even when I’ve been like a total jerk sometimes. You’re like a brother I never got to have. Maybe if my parents were pretty much alive, I would’ve gotten one you know. One that’ll be as caring and intelligent and handsome… ” He laughed at the ending part and I smiled. Yeah, this was the first time I was appreciating him formally.

” Yeah, that too, you’re a cute jerk you know. You get on my nerves most times, urgh! ”

” Hey, come here ” He cooed and I got over to embrace him. It felt good. ” I just worry too much most times. ”

We disengaged from the embrace but didn’t move away. He lifted his hand and used his fingers to brush a string of hair off my cheeks.

” So let’s say this will be our always huh? ” He asked huskily and I looked up at his handsome face. I smiled but then it felt awkward that we were still standing together so I moved away.

” Whatever that means but yes. ”

–_Two days Later_–

We were all set to leave as the maids carried our luggage outside. I couldn’t believe our stay here had come to an end.

After having breakfast, we all walked outside along with Ace and Alejandra who came to bid us goodbye.

” Promise you’ll come to visit next time. You know you’re always welcome back here ” Ace said after hugging me. I looked at him and smiled remembering all the memories we made.

” Of course. That’s if my master will love to tag me along ” I responded while he chuckled. I couldn’t help but admire him. He was indeed a good person and I could say he was the first guy to ever treat me like a lady.

He glanced over at where Kael stood with Alejandra and then he looked back at me.

” I know of your feelings for him. ” He said and my mouth dropped. How the hell did he know? Were my feelings that vulnerable?

” I’m sorry if he’s hurt you with his loveless attitude but I’ll advise you to stay away. He’s a flirt and he doesn’t do love. He only does this using and dumping, that’s what he’s best at ”

I turned to look at Kael for some time and finally turned back to Ace. I wanted to tell him that I knew about all that he was saying and that Kael had warned me severally but I held myself. What point was I trying to make? That I was special because he didn’t use me like how I wanted?

” Just give him time, that works but at the same time, I’m glad I was able to make your stay worth it in my little way. I promise to do better next time ”

He smiled and winked at me but before I knew it, he walked off and Alejandra was now standing in front of me.

” I’ll miss you greatly. For a while now, I considered myself as an elder sister ”

” I’ll miss you too ” I replied and hugged her tight. Gosh, I didn’t know goodbyes could be this heartbreaking.

” I respect your decision on finishing school before chasing the modeling career. We’ll wait for you till you’re ready. Just work hard at school ” She advised and I nodded ” And oh, I have something for you ”

” Oh, come on. You’ve given me enough. ” I protested but she smiled and pulled out a diamond necklace. It was so beautiful I could hardly take my eyes off it.

” This is for you, Leigh. This should be like a reminder. Remember Kyler is not a monster as he seems to be. He’s not a devil so we’ve still got hope for his repentance “
