Chapter 11
Leigh-Ann pressed the ringer for the third time and made to press it again when the door opened. Her heart skipped and she shook in fright as everything seemed to scare her.
She walked into the room and looked around. No one seemed to be in and she took the chance to admire the room. Just like Kenver’s, Kael’s room was big and had other places in it like a spacious and well-decorated living room, a home office, his gym, his dining, his dressing room which was stuffed with lots of clothes and expensive shoes, his music room, an indoor swimming pool, games room… That was why it was called a zone.
“And she had the guts to go through me” She heard someone gruff behind and turned to see Kael. Slowly, she lowered her head. She had been carried away by the whole beauty of the place and forgot it was owned by someone.
“This is gonna be your last cause am throwing you off to my brother” He released the bombshell and walked off.

One of Kash’s guards got over and whispered into his ears. He couldn’t believe it because he sprang to his feet immediately and followed him out.
“Hello, Kash!” That was the familiar voice he thought he’d never hear again. He paused and took a good look at her, still finding it unbelievable that she had shown up. What was she doing here?
“I… I know they’re lots of things on your mind but I… I just came to pick something important I had left here” Lorna said and took some steps towards him. “I know I don’t deserve to be here but… am… am sorry I really need that necklace. May I?”
Kash didn’t respond as he turned and walked off while she followed behind. He didn’t expect to see her again after what she did to him. After she had broken up with him a few days ago, despite all his pleas for her not to. He had sworn to bury every feeling he ever had, he had sworn to move on but now, he suddenly felt so weak just as he had felt the day she walked out, breaking his heart into a thousand pieces. He gave her access into his room and leaned by the door with my arms folded and legs crossed, watching her. He still loved her and till now, he couldn’t believe she ditched him for someone else.
“Ha, I’ve found it! I knew it’ll be here” She gushed and turned to look at him. Kash didn’t have what to say at the moment though he had lots on his mind and remembering what Kael had said to him, he turned to walk off.
“Kash!” Lorna called out, making him stop on his track. It was clear she still missed him but for some, she couldn’t stay especially when she knew she was gonna keep hurting him.
“Kash… I’m sorry.” She said apologetically and walked towards him “I’m sorry”
She went and stood in front of me, leaving him helpless. The more he tried to fight the feelings, the more he realized how weak they made him. Why did he love her so much that he couldn’t let her go?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
She touched his hand and trailed her fingers up to my neck “I know you still love me. I can feel it even with the way you’re looking at me”
“What are you doing to me Lorna,” Kash asked hoarsely and gulped hard. He was losing it again, he was losing control and he couldn’t help but surrender to her especially when she took his lips in hers in a deep, intense kiss.
She took his hands and placed them on her waist. “One last time Kash, one last time”
If he had only heard her clearly, it would’ve saved him a lot but being blinded by his feelings for her which had been brought back to life, he intensified the kiss and dug his fingers into her body.
Being unable to stand the romance, she took off his shirt while he took off hers and led her to the bed where he planted kisses all over her body before looking into her face as if searching for something.
“Am not leaving you, Kash” She responded in a whisper and he pecked her forehead. That was the only thing he wanted to hear from her.

Leigh-Ann stood dumbstruck as her heart kept beating heavily and for some time, it felt like she couldn’t hear anymore. Like she had suddenly gone deaf.
“Get lost!” Kael growled, his voice shaking her to the depths of her soul and jerking her back to reality.
No, she couldn’t believe it. Was he sending her off to Kenver already? Kenver wouldn’t think twice before stripping her naked and having his way with her.
She rushed over to where he was in his games room and fell on my knees before him.
“Please… please don’t send me away. I’ve been a total disaster and I accept it but please… I’ll do whatever you want”
Kael didn’t say a word as he kept shooting arrows at the bullseye. He seemed uninterested in whatever Leigh-Ann was saying.
“Please… I promise to be at my best, please have mercy. Don’t send me away”
She just couldn’t imagine her life as Kenver’s maid. This morning when she had looked at him, she saw the anger and hatred in his eyes. Of course, she saw it and she felt it.
“To correct you, I can never remember saying I was sending you to him. Am fucking throwing you to him so however, he catches you is your problem” Kael responded coldly and turned to glare at her “I don’t like repeating myself ugliest, get lost”
Leigh-Ann had no choice but to leave with tears rolling down her cheeks. How was she going to survive Kenver? As far as she wanted to quit the job, she still needed the money. She still had debts to settle and most of all, she wanted to complete her Senior year in school.
How was she gonna accomplish all of that if she quits the job? The amount of money she was being paid here was a hundred times bigger than the amount of money she made from other jobs she applied for and with such an amount of money, she could do a lot.
She wiped her tears and muttered a sad prayer as she walked out of Kael’s zone, wishing everything would be okay.
