Chapter 53
Kyler’s POV
“And this will be your new Personal Assistant” Jigyasa announced but I didn’t bother looking up as I focused on my phone.
“Good day Sir, I’m Kim ” On hearing the name, I looked up at once. Wtf? Kim? Who the fuck brought her here? How the hell did she get here?
“Rejected” I responded brusquely and watched their faces drop. ” Y’all get lost this instance”
“Sir, please… I need this job, I’ll do anything” She pleaded and fell to her knees. I scoffed. Did she address me as Sir?
“Am sorry Sir Kyler but she happens to be the best with excellent qualifications. She’s the right person you need and if you don’t mind, you could reconsider your decision” Jigyasa said and I clenched my fist. How dare she think she can defile my orders?
“Should I repeat myself?”
Kim pleaded but I didn’t mind as I called in the guards to drag her out. I know what I could’ve done to them for refusing to leave but for the sake of Jigyasa. She doesn’t have to be seeing my bad side all the time.
“Kyler please…” I heard Kim’s voice and for some time, I thought about it. Maybe Jigyasa is right after all. She’s the right person I need.
“Let her stay,”
On hearing that, they all froze at the spot. The guards left her and she turned to look at me, surprised. Yeah, I could be so full of surprises.
“Since she stays, she opted in as your personal assistant even at home”

Author’s POV
•°•°•Later In the evening•°•°•
Leigh-Ann went for a walk outside the mansion, her mind filled with thoughts of recent events. Firstly, she got a job as a maid and didn’t even know her boss was a quadruplet.
Secondly, she rejected her boss’s brother who turned her into his enemy and has been haunting her since then.
Thirdly, The whole Gang issue at school seemed to revolve around her. What was her crime huh? Why couldn’t she live a life where she could make her own favorable decisions and live by them?
“Hey” Stiles called out, jerking her out of her thoughts. She turned to look at him and without saying a word, she looked away.
“It’s okay if you don’t need me. I’ll leave first” Stiles added and turned to walk off.
“Stiles… I… I can’t thank you enough. It’s really been hard….” Before she could say more, Stiles pulled her into a hug. He could feel her pain even without asking where it hurt.
Leigh-Ann was surprised because she never expected the hug after how she’d treated him for a month now. As all these went on, none of them knew that Maerie was watching from behind with a hard knot on her chest.

Maerie’s POV
Watching them from a distance, I couldn’t help but glare with my hands clenched beside me. All I wanted to do at the moment was to rush over and drag her away from him. How dare she huh? So this was it. She had such audacity to stab me behind my back.
That’s why she kept asking numerous questions when it came to Stiles. Whether he liked me back and if he had replied to my letters, that wretched witch. How dare she?
I glowered at them keenly and noticed Leigh-Ann pull away and rushed off. She’s gonna have to deal with me first before she gets to him.

Leigh-Ann’s POV
I inhaled deeply and rushed inside. If I’m to say, I never expected that from Stiles but at least that was useful.
I turned to head back inside my room when I heard people talking ahead. It was Kash and a very beautiful lady. I lowered my head as I approached them.
“It’s fucking good to have you here but you look like someone I’ve known since when I was a kid”
The lady chuckled lightly as I walked past them. “Of course not, I’ve not known any of you before. But it’s good to know that my Boss has got cool Brothers too” She quipped and I rolled my eyes, urgh. if only she knew.
“Leigh…” Kash called and I turned immediately like I was waiting for it. Yeah, seriously I was. I couldn’t help thinking of who the lady was and which of the brothers she was working for. She couldn’t possibly be one of their girlfriends because she mentioned her boss.
“She could use some help. Kim, this is Leigh-Ann, Kael’s personal maid. Leigh, she’s Kim, Kyler’s Personal Assistant.”
The lady, I mean Kim smiled while I mouthed an “Oh”. She was indeed beautiful but Kyler’s personal assistant???
“You wouldn’t mind showing her around would you?” Kash asked and walked off. Hey, wasn’t that a question that needed an answer?
“Hello, cute eyes” The lady, I mean Kim complimented and I smiled sheepishly not knowing what to say in return. She approached me.
“Um… let’s get to work”
We didn’t say much to each other but I kept wondering why Kyler made her his Personal Assistant even at home. It sounded hilarious but this was pretty serious. Even In my dreams, I wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay with that monster.
“So… you’ve been with the boys for some time now”
“Yeah, three months to be precise” I answered and watched her smile. Oh, she’s also got a cute smile. Too bad she won’t be using it around that bad guy.
“Maybe you could tell me about them. I’d love to know more” She said but I rebuked her immediately. Is it me she wanna get killed?
“Oh, come on. It’s just us and there’s nothing wrong with knowing them” She coaxed but of course I wasn’t ready to yield.
“Am not telling you a shit okay? Sir Kash could help you better if you wanna know more, goodnight”
I sighed despondently and walked off. I shouldn’t have treated her that way but the hell, she’s Kyler’s fucking Assistant. Trust me, even a mere talking to her made me feel like I was talking to Kyler himself.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Once inside my room, I switched on the light and yelled in shock. The shock was so much that I had to place my hand on my chest to calm my frantic heart.
“Holy fucker Maerie, what the hell was that?”
She laughed heartily and stood up from the bed. Damn, the shock hit me hard cause I found it hard to recover quickly. “Surprise!” She squealed then laughed more.
“Goddamn it, that’s no fucking surprise. You almost gave me a heart attack” I responded in a huff and rolled my eyes.
“Okay, I’m sorry” She snapped and rolled her eyes. Seriously? What the hell was she doing here anyway?
I didn’t say a word but got over to the seat on my chair which faced my reading table. “I wanna read so if you don’t mind, you should leave”
She didn’t respond immediately but I started picking out my books to read anyway. She could stay so long she doesn’t disturb me.
“Um… yeah… I’m sorry for sneaking up on you but … I thought I could ask you a question” She drawled languidly then came to sit at my table. Urgh, What again?
“Have you… ever loved someone?” She asked and I furrowed my brows. What’s she talking about? “Have you ever… loved someone that all you think of is him? All you wanna do is to be with him, in his arms”
Oh, wait. Was she suddenly drawing out all her words? And why all the questions?
“And how would you feel if that person is with someone else? Or maybe someone is tryna take that person from you, doing all that you’ve always wished for with him?”
Jesus H Christ! Why all the sudden questions? I opened my mouth to speak when her last question dawned on me. Kael. I… I had been hurt when he left me for those two ladies who came into the room but that was just it.
“Well, if you’ve never loved someone to that extent then I have and am so goddamn hurt” Maerie added.
Oh, Cripes! What did Stiles do to her?
“But if you’ve ever loved that much, sure you’ll do everything to get back the one your heart beats for. You’ll kill for him right?” She asked but then chuckled lightly “Of course, I’ll kill anyone”
At some point, I kept thinking all about it and didn’t realize when she left the room. I sighed deeply.
If Stiles is doing all these to her then I deeply understand how she feels but at the same time, I can’t bring myself to tell her that Stiles said he liked someone else. I was in no position to do that.
