Chapter 37
Author’s POV
Kyler rushed out immediately like lightning. He couldn’t bear losing the necklace to anyone and was well aware of what was gonna happen. The questions he was gonna answer to which he didn’t want to. The last thing he needed was to lose his brothers’ trust.
The last place he visited with the necklace was the dining room. He had been with it all through and having the thought that he had dropped it there made him feel uneasy coupled with the fact that he had been the first to leave.
What if one of his brothers was with it already? The pictures on the necklace were that of his parents but the real owner of the necklace was his mother. If his brothers ever laid eyes on it, they’ll know too and so many suspicions will arise. Questions like ” How did you get in possession of it? “, and ” You said we should dump everything that had to do with them so what the fuck is this? ” would be asked and Kyler never wanted to answer them.
He rushed into the dining room and found it deserted. Everywhere was quiet and he knew the maids and chefs had gone off their duty. Maybe two or three could still be around Incase anyone needed anything but Kyler didn’t care. He was so bent on finding the necklace.
He got over to where he had sat and searched everywhere but didn’t find it. Drumming his fingers on the table, he tried not to convince himself that he had lost the necklace. No, he couldn’t lose it. How could he have been so careless?
Different thoughts kept running through his mind but none was what he needed at the moment. All he needed was the goddamn necklace.

Leigh-Ann stayed laid on her bed trying to sleep. She wasn’t feeling sleepy at the moment but she had to so she’ll be up early the next day. Not that any special thing was happening but the next day was Saturday and a lot needed to be done of course.
She kept turning on her bed till she finally sat up. She had planned on sleeping early but now she couldn’t sleep, she had to find something to do which would keep her busy but sadly, she had none.
She turned on her bedside lamp and huddled her legs. She was all alone and staring around the dimly lit room. At least that was the only thing she could do.
Her tummy rumbled and she winced. No, not now. She didn’t have dinner cause she had thought the fruits would keep her through the night. When the rumbling came again, she knew she had to do something. Maybe get over to the kitchen for a little snack or something.
Leigh-Ann wore her slippers and used a shawl to cover her chest and shoulders. She wore transparent nightwear with nothing underneath it other than her pants and no bra. Well, who the hell wore a bra to sleep? How could the person breathe? She thought.
” Okay, let’s be quiet ” She whispered to herself and opened the door. No one was outside as all the doors were closed up. Not a single sound was heard. Why would everyone just go to bed so soon?
She kept walking and whenever she heard footsteps, she’d hide till whoever it was was gone. She didn’t want anyone to see her. Not in the way she was dressed.
Finally, she reached the kitchen and heaved once she was inside. She could hardly breathe when she was outside because she kept clutching her chest.
” Leigh-Ann? ” Esme, one of the chefs called out. ” What are you doing here? ”
Leigh-Ann rolled her eyes at the question and made to walk further into the kitchen when she noticed what was going on. Esme wasn’t alone. Her buttons were open exposing her full chest and her hair looked a mess. She was in the middle of something.
” I’m… I’m sorry. I just needed some snacks. ”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Esme nodded shamefully. She couldn’t believe someone caught her after sneaking out countless times to have sex.
Leigh-Ann got what she wanted and walked out still finding everything surprising. This was her first time sneaking out at night to get food and it happened to be the best. Was she having sex in the kitchen? She thought and couldn’t help giggling. That was absurd and she couldn’t even imagine it.
That wasn’t the main kitchen. It was like a mini snack house.
” We’ve seen enough. Time to get back to our keyhole, shall we? ” Leigh-Ann whispered to herself. It looked insane but that was the only way she was able to move around by herself.
But this time, she wasn’t by herself cause the thought of Esme fucking in the kitchen accompanied her and she couldn’t help but giggle every time.
What if she had been caught by one of the brothers? She sure would lose her job and Leigh-Ann could bet on that.
This minute, she was giggling over some silly thought and the next, she was being dragged into a corner and pinned to the wall. She winced and wanted to scream but the person’s hand pressed hard against her mouth.
Panic latched onto her soft features. Already she was in pain because her back and her head hurt badly.
” Give me the necklace, now!”
The voice made her shiver and immediately, the snack bar fell from her hand but he was fast enough to catch it before it fell off to the ground and caught someone’s attention.
Leigh-Ann could hardly breathe. He stood in front of her pressing her to the wall.
” I hate repeating myself,” He said again. This time more blunt and cold it only made her shiver.
Seeing how she shook in fright, he stepped away from her and stood to examine her closely. He could see her perfectly even with the dim lights.
Leigh-Ann shook as her hands fell freely from her chest. She even forgot her chest was bare and her cleavages were showing so well. She looked up and once her eyes came in contact with his, she whimpered and wrapped her hands around her body like she was shielding it.
” You should get it out yourself cause I wouldn’t think twice in tearing you up and getting it myself” Kyler gruffed, referring to her chest. He saw the way she clutched onto her chest and suspected she must’ve hidden it there.
” Very well then, let’s play nicely,” He said and before Leigh-Ann knew it, he grabbed her shawl and pulled it down then reached for her chest.
