K-Brothers And The Little Maid

Leigh-Ann’s POVPlease check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“And what if I don’t?” I asked daringly. She glared hard at me with fury in her eyes but I wasn’t in any place to walk out just yet. I just wanted to understand what this she-devil was made of.

Firstly, she said she was Tess and didn’t like me, not that I cared but why would any sane person develop hatred for someone they just met for the first time? Not that I offended her in any way. Secondly, she made me mess my dress and was here saying I stink, who the fuck does that?

“Hey, witch…” She was trying to say but I chipped in.

“It’s Leigh-Ann so get that into your thick skull. You know if I were a witch, I’ll make you ugly first”

” You, urgh… ” She shrieked and rushed over to me, knocking me off to the ground.” You stupid godforsaken bitch! ”

She kept landing slaps on my face and dragging my hair. I tried all possible means to escape her grip but couldn’t. ” You’re so dead in my hands. I’ll be sure to kill you and feed your eyes to my dog, argh! ”

She pressed my neck, choking me hard as I kept struggling to breathe. I found it difficult but after some time, I found myself losing consciousness.

“Kael is mine, get that? He’s mine and you’re fired. Stay the fuck away from Kael you spoilt brat” She yelled but then, my eyes closed slowly as I drifted into oblivion.

Kael’s POV

After working at my home office, I sent and responded to important emails before heading out to have a cool swim but the yells from my room caught my attention.

I had left Tess in there even when she had pleaded to join me in the office so what the hell was going on? I opened the door immediately and the scene that welcomed me wasn’t pleasing. Tess was sitting on top of Leigh who just laid quietly without making a sound and was gripping her neck.

Without noticing my presence, she stood to her feet and used her legs to kick Leigh’s side. “You bitch, Kael is mine, fucking mine!” She yelled and bent to drag her hair.

It was obvious that they had gotten into a fight and Tess had beaten her to unconsciousness but what I kept thinking of at the moment was what Leigh was doing here. I never remember ringing her up or demanding a thing and I can vividly remember I had warned her never to come around if she wasn’t called so why was she here? The thought of her disobeying my orders angered me at the moment. How dare she?

“Tess, that’s enough!”

It seemed she didn’t hear me cause she kept kicking at Leigh’s side. I rushed over and dragged her off.

“Kael… Kael…” She tried to say.

“The fuck is going on here, Tess?”

“I… she started it. She started it. She said I wasn’t pretty and you know that’s not true” She said and came to touch me. She had this innocent look on ” You know i’m pretty, right? You know am very pretty and she’s so jealous she wants to take you away from me Kael. She’s no good here, send her away”

I kept staring at her, not finding the comedy-drama she was acting funny. Someone was lying almost lifeless in my room and I so wanted to believe my eyes were deceiving me.

“You… you believe me don’t you?” She asked with bulging eyes and stood on her toes to kiss me but I moved away from her. She stood back shocked.

“How dare you, Tess?”

It took her up to a minute before she could digest my question cause she shivered before giving a response.

“I… What do you mean? She started it, she caused it, Kael. Are you gonna side with her other than me? Huh?” She asked, searching my face for a bright side but there was none cause at the moment, the fierce look I had on wasn’t having any bright side on it.

“I don’t fucking care, Tess. Leigh is my maid and I can never remember asking you to lay as tiny as your last finger on her.” I thundered and she gasped in shock ” She is my maid and mine to kill but that’s if I want to and I want you to get that straight”

I walked off and made to call Stiles but paused. I think there’s one more thing I have to clear. “And I’m done, Tess. Every fucking thing we ever had ends here and now”

” What??? What the hell are you saying?” She asked and rushed over to stand in front of me ” You’re… you’re kidding right? You’re just angry. But why should you be? Why do you care? She’s just a maid you picked from devil knows where, she’s a slave, Kael. Why would you choose her over me? What spell is she using on you? ”

” Call her slave one more fucking time and I’ll be sure you regret it”

She gasped but fell to her knees immediately. ” She has bewitched you, Kael. You shouldn’t be siding with her”

” If you were lying on the ground, I would’ve sided you instead but since it’s not you, get the fuck out of my room” I fired and walked past her to the door not minding her pleas.

” I’m done with you. This will be the last time I’ll say it out to your face”

Stiles’s POV

After getting the call from Sir Kael who asked me to get over to his zone as soon as possible, I rushed over to meet Leigh-Ann lying in an unconscious state while Tess stood, crying.

Well, I couldn’t tell if she was crying because Leigh-Ann had beaten her up or because Sir Kael had ended things with her, dumped her. Not that anyone told me a thing but I was good when it came to guesses, especially when it had to do with the girls Sir Kael has been with.

She’s not the first girl who has walked out crying, most of them were thrown out. Not by Sir Kael but by me and sometimes his bodyguards. It’s always a privilege cause we got to touch that sleek skin of theirs. Funny right?

All these were the least on my mind as I kept racking my brain on how Leigh-Ann got to end up this way. She had been admitted into the hospital and I was asked to wait outside while they attended to her.

I don’t just get it but something in me aches for her. It somehow hurt to see her in such a condition. What happened?

*

I sat on the chair beside the bed and held onto her hand. She reminded me of my younger sister back at home, especially the way she never smiled at me. She was always keeping a straight face.

It was somehow tough for her and deep inside, I wished I could take her away from all these, to protect her. Not that I knew what I wanted to protect her from. I lifted her hand to my lips and pecked it then covered it up with my hands.

Leigh-Ann’s POV

My eyes fluttered open and closed again. Gosh, my head ached badly. I opened my eyes again but this time, I could see a bit clearer. It looked like I was in the hospital because of how everywhere was made of white. I looked to my side and saw medical equipment which confirmed my thoughts.

Everything that happened before I passed out came playing back at me. Tess. She had beaten me till I lost unconsciousness.

I tried sitting up but the sharp pains I felt in my body held me back. I also noticed my right hand was being held by… oh wait, Stiles? He seemed to be asleep but what the fuck was he doing here?

Gently, I took my hand off his and wondered if it happened by accident. Maybe, he mistakenly held my hand, or… maybe I did.

Kael would surely be so mad at me and wouldn’t wanna listen to me. I’m so sure Tess has fed him with all the lies she could cook so he’ll send me away.

I know it’s wrong to have answered her but I am not the type that could let anyone say whatever or treat me anyhow how they like. My father had taught me how to be brave and to possibly stand up for myself, not letting anyone trample upon me.

I would’ve given her the beatings she deserved but I was in no place to do such. Besides, I’m just a maid and I have no such right to raise as tiny as my little finger on her cause she’s my Master’s guest.

“Hey…” Stiles called out, waking from his slumber. He reached out to hold my hand but I was quick to move mine away.

“Sorry ’bout that” He muttered apologetically “How’re you feeling?”

I looked at him and looked off. I’m sure he’s gonna make fun of me later on because I got into trouble. And why not? I should’ve just walked out like a dumb silly maid when I was asked to. “Go call the Doctor” I replied brusquely without looking at him.

“I’ll be right back” He responded then stood up and walked out. He returned with the doctor shortly afterward who checked and finally discharged me.

“It’s past midnight. We should go” I made to climb down from the bed but almost fell off due to the pains in my body. Stiles held me at once with his arms around my waist, keeping me in place.

“I’m… I’m sorry” He muttered and took his hands off me. It only made me nervous.

“Thanks”

Damn, what’s wrong with him? He was suddenly acting up and I felt he was only doing that cause he pitied me. “It’s gonna be cold,” He said and wanted to take off his jacket.

“Forget it, am fine”

The drive back to the mansion was so quiet and indeed cold. Oh, Leigh, you’re such a dumbass. Why didn’t you get his jacket huh? Now you’re shivering from your mouth, nose, ears… I mean, everywhere. It was so damn cold.

I was just grateful he didn’t turn to look at me, or else he would’ve found out what an asshole I was for not taking his jacket as offered.

We finally arrived at the mansion and not wanting him to come around and open the door for me, I opened it for myself and stepped down.

“Thanks a lot” I muttered dryly then made to walk off.

“Um… Leigh, you should be more careful” He advised with this concerned look that got me wondering. He raked his fingers on his hair and gosh, it gave him this hot look but I looked off immediately.

“Yeah, thanks for that too”
