Chapter 89
Leigh-Ann’s POV
We arrived late in the evening and as expected, different cars and maids were waiting to pick us up from the airport. We got into different cars and proceeded over to the mansion.
When we arrived, I got down from the car and grabbed my luggage before the maids could do that for me. Maerie rushed out squealing, gosh, I missed her.
” Guess who’s back here! ” She sang out and wrapped me in an embrace. I chuckled ” Gosh, I missed you so much. It felt like forever ”
We disengaged from the hug and she stood to look at me with a smile on her face ” You don’t look bad at all ”
” I missed you more Maerie, I missed being here ” I enthused and looked around but suddenly, my eyes caught someone. He was standing with Kael and had a tobacco pipe stuck on his lips. I guess y’all know who that is.
” … Hey, are you listening? ” Maerie called out, snapping me out of my thoughts. I turned at once.
” Um… Sorry, what was it you were saying again?” I asked and she turned to look at me with a raised brow.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
She looked behind me and gasped, covering her mouth with her palms. I looked behind and turned back to look at her.
” What? ”
” Did he??? Did you guys?… ”
I arched my brows trying to understand and when I did, I turned to stare at her surprised ” Maerie? ”
” Oh come on baby girl, don’t tell me nothing transpired between you two in the last weeks ”
I rolled my eyes and walked in while she followed suit laughing. It only irritated me she had to think of such but who was I to get angry? I felt rather ashamed that it almost happened, Almost.
” Alright, calm down, I was just kidding. After all, he’s your master, right? ” I didn’t respond but followed her up to my room. It was just the way I left it except that I expected it to be a bit dusty. ” Oh never mind. I cleaned it up yesterday. It’s just like I knew you’d be coming back tonight. ”
” Thank you ” I responded with a smile and turned to unzip one of my luggage ” I’ve got things for you”
She squealed and came over as I began taking things out of the box. I gave her two sets of jewelry, some clothes and three pairs of shoes.
” Goddamn it Leigh, you’re a best friend, thank you so much ”
” Don’t mention please, it’s rather too small ” I responded but she didn’t reply as I kept taking things out from the box.
My eyes came across the diamond necklace Alejandra had given to me as a parting gift and the things she had said to me.
” Remember Kyler is not a monster as he seems…”
As I caressed the necklace with my fingers, my mind flashed back to when I had seen him outside with Kael. This time felt different. I’ve always been afraid of him and always had shivers whenever I thought or looked at him but this time was far from that and I couldn’t tell why.
” Are you even listening to me? ” Maerie asked, jolting me out of my thoughts. I sighed and turned to look at her. What was she saying?
” Sorry I… ”
” I know, you kinda miss where you’re coming from. It happens, you know. I was only asking if um… If Stiles could’ve gotten a gift for me. I spoke to him before he left and we were cool so it’s possible right? ”
I looked at her for some time without knowing what to say and of course, what could I possibly say? It’s not like Stiles ever mentioned her throughout our stay there.
” Hey, what do you think? Don’t black out on me this time ”
” Um… Why don’t you meet him huh? You know he’ll be back to his busy self once again ”
” Yeah, that’s right. I’ll do that tomorrow I promise “
