Chapter 61
Leigh-Ann’s POV
“Well, I’m happy to be here. I’m not shitting if I say I love this place” Stiles enthused then stared at the waterfall. Yeah, he looks extremely happy to be here.
“Even if you don’t understand their language, you still love it here?” I asked while he nodded in response.
It was evening already and Kael wasn’t back with Alejandra and Ace. I missed him. No, I missed being his maid rather.
“So… what do you think of here huh?”
I blinked rapidly then heaved as I got over my thoughts. Did Stiles say something?
“Are you okay?” He asked.
“Yeah, sure. I… um, what were you saying?”
Before he could say a word, we heard cars driving in.
Somehow I felt happy but it was short-lived as Kael stepped down from the car with Alejandra and held her to himself, her body touching his and their foreheads touching.
Oh, wait. Could it be that she was Kael’s secret girlfriend or one of his bitches?
“And they’re back. Why don’t you go welcome Sir Kael huh?”
I didn’t answer but turned to look at Stiles. Welcome Kael?
“That’s your job isn’t it?” Stiles asked again.

Stiles’s POV
I watched her frown then I chuckled.
“Stop doing that. It makes me feel like you’re laughing at me” She pouted and turned away, making me laugh more. Sir Kael had walked in already with the model and Ace.
“Why are you laughing at me?” She asked and began hitting me with her fisted hands. She too was laughing.
“Owch! Come on, I wasn’t laughing at you. Didn’t know you’ve got iron for a hand”
She turned immediately and began hitting me but this time, I grabbed her hands and held them behind her, making our bodies touch.
She laughed and struggled to break from my grip then looked up to catch my eyes which burned into hers. The smile on her face slowly faded.
I gulped hard and tried not to break the stare. I could see this confused look in her eyes.
When Sir Kael announced the vacation, I felt extremely glad for reasons I’m yet to understand.
Slowly, I lowered my face to hers with our faces an inch apart. She flinched.
“Stiles…” She called out, her voice frail In confusion.
I stared down at her lips. I just couldn’t understand where all these were coming from cause I felt something burning from inside.
These feelings come just when Leigh is around or when I’m thinking about her. Her brows were creased in confusion but then I smiled, covering up my stupid acts.
“Just wanted to say, go welcome your master. Don’t let some lady take your place as his maid”
I moved away from her and she heaved in relief. “You asshole” She laughed then walked off.
I sighed and stared as she walked away, the smile disappearing from my lips. I had wanted to, almost, was close to but something from inside stopped me.
I had almost kissed her which would’ve been wrong.
And I… I think I like her so much.

Leigh-Ann’s POV
“I need a bottle of champagne and two flutes in my room, don’t keep me waiting” And with that, he walked off.
I stared at the direction he had taken then bit my lips. Why was he suddenly cold? Even when he looked at me, I shivered. Did I do anything wrong?
As I walked away, I felt extremely happy that he still acknowledged me as his maid. Champagne. Where can I find it huh?
I saw the chief maid and approached her immediately.
“Miss, may I help you?” The chief maid asked once I had approached her. Her accent didn’t sound different to me from Alejandra’s.
“I… um… Sir Kael asked me to get a… a bottle of champagne and um… two flutes”
The lady nodded with a smile and called a maid over. She spoke to the maid in Spanish then she turned to me. “She’ll provide whatever you need”
I smiled and not knowing what else to say, I followed the maid. We kept walking around with me being lost in the environment.
Everywhere looked exquisite but wait. Who owned this place anyway? Could it be the model and her brother Ace?
I didn’t realize we had entered a room filled with different kinds of drinks until the maid said something in Spanish.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
I smiled and nodded sheepishly then got to work, checking the different shelves and cupboards for the drink I needed.
It took me some minutes before I found the champagne and went ahead to pick two flutes.
I pressed the button beside the door for the third time but got no response. I could hear people talking and laughing from inside so why wasn’t anyone answering?
As I wanted to press the button again, the door rolled open and I shiver at once.
Gulping hard, I stepped into the room but couldn’t find anyone around, my mouth dropped. Inside here was large and was covered with glass.
I pressed my eyelids tightly to recover from my drooling. Where could Kael be? I heard voices and laughter which sounded like Alejandra’s. Was she here? Maybe that’s why he demanded two flutes.
The thought of her being with Kael made me frown, can’t she give him a breathing space?
Taking slow, steady steps, I approached the place but no one seemed to be there then I discovered where the whole noise had come from.
A huge television hung on the wall, showing Kael, Alejandra, and Ace. Oh, wait. Their outfits were the exact ones they had worn out earlier today.
While Kael kept his cold gaze and chuckled when the host quipped, Alejandra laughed heartily with her voice ringing out the most. Ace just smiled charmingly, showing off his perfect dentitions.
Something else caught my attention on the television. “President DonChina’s children, Alejandra-Model and Ace-Model and music artiste welcomes the world’s lover-Kael Shal’Kan”
Wow! The president’s children huh? I scoffed at the title they had given to Kael. World’s lover indeed.
“One offense, you’re late. Two, you trespassed into my territory” Kael’s cold voice broke in.
It had a great effect on me cause I flinched and one of the champagne flutes fell off and broke into pieces.
“The third offense, she broke a flute worth a hundred dollars. How can this prey escape my claws?”
