Chapter 71
Author’s POV
Kyler pulled his black suit over his shoulders and went to stand in front of the mirror. He had dyed his hair gold and looked a lot different, handsome, and much more deadly.
As always, the first two buttons of his black shirt were open exposing his tattooed chest and the gold chains blazing on it.
He cast a glance at himself in the mirror and drew out a cigarette from its packet then lit it. Just like Leigh-Ann, he sure had a party to attend. Just that he was more deadly than romantic. Or maybe a little romantic though.
Not being someone who spent a lot of time drooling over himself excessively in the mirror, he walked out of the room and met Madagascar and Kim waiting outside. They were fully dressed too.
As Kyler approached them, Kim shivered with her hands shaking violently. It was dark and of course, Kyler wouldn’t see her doing that. He sure would term her a weakling if he did.
They got into the car and drove off with Kim sitting in the backseat with Kyler. She could hardly breathe. Just his fragrance was killing her slowly. He hardly said a word to her and never looked at her twice. But now sitting next to him in the same car was something Kim couldn’t deal with easily as her heart kept pounding heavily.
The car was dark but she could still see him. His face, his lips, his chest… Kim couldn’t help biting her lips. Damn, she was a terrible lunatic for doing that but she couldn’t help it. He was freaking hot and it scared her cause she was having these cranny feelings that made her sick to her stomach.
Did she have feelings for him? Kinda. Just the same feelings she had for him when they were kids. Did she care for him? She did and that was the reason she got back.
But wait. Why were all the questions revolving around Kyler? Wasn’t it supposed to be for all of them? Like did she care for all of them, not only Kyler?
Kim let out an exaggerated sigh and looked out of the window. She could barely see anything outside because the glass was tinted. It was dark, just like Kyler’s heart which didn’t have any bright side unless it was opened.
Back then, Kyler would hurt everyone except her no matter how angry he was. But now… He wouldn’t look at her twice before stabbing her with a knife. And now Kim wondered. Would things have been different if she stayed? What would’ve become of her and Kyler, of all of them?
She knew the answers to all that already cause she would’ve been brutally murdered just like her mother, nanny Carlota. She wouldn’t have even lived to see them grow into handsome and successful boys.
” Kim! ”
Just one word, one command shook her to the depths of her soul, jerking her out of her thoughts. She turned at once, breathing heavily. She was scared to death as always.
Slowly, she looked around. The car wasn’t moving which meant they had arrived.
” If I’ll have to call you more than once next time then you’d be dead before I call you a second time”
Kim gulped hard as her heart kept pounding hard against her chest and not knowing what to do, she lowered her head. Should she apologize? No, it was pointless. People like Kyler took apologies like mere gibberish words which they couldn’t understand.
Kyler got down from the car and Kim did the same without wasting the slightest second. She wouldn’t dare.
He walked intrepidly towards the building, trading each step with caution. Someone seeing him from afar wouldn’t know he had observed the whole environment the very moment he stepped down from the car and knew the people who stood at each point.
They walked into the building which was filled with lots of people dancing to music that blasted through the loudspeakers and made their way for their business.
” Hey, where’s your boss? ” Shark asked once they entered a dimly lit room which was filled with four men and a lady. They were all dressed in black.
The lady smirked and walked over to them. She wore a leather fitting jumpsuit which exposed her curves including her cleavages. She screamed hot.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
” Hello gentlemen ” She smirked and bit her lips as her eyes fell on Kyler. For a moment, she was short of words and couldn’t help admiring him. The deadly look on his face, the cold look in his eyes, his lips, his chest… damn. She could feel herself burning down there.
” Where’s your boss, ” Shark asked again, snapping her out of her thoughts. She closed her eyes and held her breath to regain her senses. Never had she imagined that just a mere appearance of a guy would affect her that much.
” We’re here for your boss, where’s he? ”
” You’re talking to her ” Kyler responded and she gasped. How the hell did he know that? She had never laid eyes on him before and was sent by her father to meet with him on his behalf so how the hell did he figure it out?
Did it mean her plans were already failing?
” Cause you look a lot like your father. Beautiful and damn sexy. I must say you’re getting a great deal on my mind ”
On hearing that she heaved in relief. Did he just read her thoughts? If that was what he knew then it was perfect cause he didn’t know a shit about her plan. She smiled and walked off, sure to shake her ass impressively.
” Come have a seat Mr. Shal’Kan, let’s talk business ”
Kyler got over dauntlessly and took a seat. He watched the smile on her lips and smirked. To her, he was some dumb guy who didn’t know anything and was probably falling for her body already but to Kyler, she was so dead meat cause he knew all her plans at the back of his palms.

Leigh-Ann’s POV
As we walked on, I got lost in the environment, taking everything in. I’ve never been in an environment like this but I could call this heaven on earth.
We finally arrived at the Golden Star Hub and my mouth dropped. Oh my god! Few people were there but once we arrived, they bowed their heads in respect, wow.
Was this how they acknowledged the President’s son over here? Hell, what was I saying? Back at the Brothers’ mansion, we all bowed to them. Well, except me.
Ace snapped his fingers and I noticed the guards stopped following us.
“So you love it here, huh?” Ace asked and I couldn’t help but nod repeatedly, this was awesome.
We sat and almost immediately, five guys and ladies in uniforms appeared and stood some inches from where we sat with their heads bent.
Ace spoke in Spanish and a menu was handed to him, he looked through it and kept calling out the meals we needed. When he was done, they bowed and walked out while we settled into drinking champagne.
“I’ve been wondering why a girl like you should be tagged a maid,” Ace said and took a sip from his flute “What about your parents?”
“They’re dead. Had no choice but to go for a higher paying job”
He mouthed then flashed me a smile. “I’m sorry about that. So I guess work as a maid has been good for you. Maybe except trying to avoid the rest of the Brothers”
I looked up, arching my brows. How the hell did he know that?
“Come on. They’re all my brothers too, just that Kael’s my best. I know every one of them,” He added as if reading my mind.
“Yeah but Kael could be someone at times. I don’t even understand him” I blurted out and he chuckled lightly then looked at me.
“I bet you don’t understand a thing”
The waiters and waitresses returned with each holding different meals but this time, a lady was with them and she seemed to be their Chief.
She apologized to me and Ace for not being at our service but Ace waved it aside with a smile. Seems this President’s son is too good.
Different dishes were arranged on the table and finally, they bowed and left.
“It’s hard to understand Kael. He’s like dynamics, he changes every day”
“But you sure understand him”
“Yeah, just a few equations about him. The ones that come with formulas” He answered with a grin and I tried not to roll my eyes. Whatever that means.
“You look like you don’t understand so much about him”
“Exactly. Only the ones he gives me clear understanding to” He responded with a shrug and I chuckled inwardly. Let’s say we don’t understand Kael that much.
We began eating and trust me, I enjoyed every bit of the meal just that the way Ace kept looking at me got me nervous.
“Tell me what you know about him” Ace spoke up and I had to think carefully before answering.
“Kael is um… kind and understanding. He could be an Arse and a grumpy chicken but I love him” I said but quickly made corrections “I like him as my boss, that’s all”
