Chapter 44
Kash’s POV
“Marco, get the car ready, I’m leaving for the gym” Before he could respond, I ended the call.
Kyler and Kael left for an important meeting while Kenver skipped school for today so it’s just me. I tried reading anything possible at the library but I just couldn’t get it through. Damn, I think I’m sick.
It’s been months since Lorna ended things with me and sure it’s now a history down the lane but I couldn’t just forget it. Sometimes I try to move on like nothing ever happened like it’s in the past but it keeps coming back to me with so much force.
I walked out of my private study and headed downstairs. Through the glass wall, I could see students who clustered around trying to catch a glimpse.
I wasn’t even out yet but they were screaming already cause they saw me through the glass. I chuckled softly. This felt good.
I walked past the study room and didn’t meet anyone except Dulga who wasn’t looking my way. If she did, she sure would’ve loved to tag along. But then, I heard someone sobbing in one of the washrooms.
I furrowed my brows in surprise. Who could that be?
I wanted to walk away and mind my business like I never heard a shit but I couldn’t. Someone was in there, obviously in pain and I needed to find out. It was just in my nature to feel for people.
I got close to the door and tried to open it but found out it was locked. Okay, what now?
“I feel like a nobody. Like a walking corpse. I don’t wanna be here” I heard from inside. It didn’t come out clearly cause the voice was croaked but still, I heard it.
Who could it be anyway?
Aside from us, there were just two girls which were Dulga and…
Eleanor.
I knocked on the door slightly. “Eleanor, Hey, open up. I wanna talk to you”
She didn’t respond.
“Why cry inside a locked door when you can talk to someone about it”
She didn’t respond but just sniffed. “Go away”
I sighed, not ready to give up. Why should she be crying in there? It bothered me. “You could talk to me. I wanna hear you”
She didn’t respond and after some time, she unlocked the door and turned away immediately. I walked in and closed the door behind me.
“Come on. Why’re you crying huh?” I asked, then she turned to face me. Her eyes were puffy and red indicating she had been crying for a long time.
“Am I not beautiful huh? Am I not smart enough? Why do all of you treat me like a nobody?” She paused and sniffed “Am not the only newbie here. Dulga is too but you guys don’t treat her the same way you treat me”
Oh shit!
I racked my brain for a possible response but got none.
“Forgot it, I’m sorry. Am just stupid and crazy” She said and turned her back to face me “Why will you guys like someone like me? Someone who lost her mum and who has a dad who is just like a clock. Always running there and coming back….”
“Hey, hey” I whispered and got close to her “It’s okay”
“No, it’s not. It’s not okay. I feel like a nobody”
Before I could say anything further, she began sobbing. I checked my wrist and not wanting to waste more time, I walked over and hugged her from behind.
“It’s okay Eleanor. You shouldn’t be crying because of that. You really look ugly with that”
She turned slowly and faced me but didn’t look up.
“I understand if you’re not used to all of these but you can’t expect everyone to move along with you or do things that make you smile”
“Am Kash and well, I never took you as a nobody, no one did. We’ve just got our problems to deal with like you” I added hoping it’ll do good and of course, it did. I had a crack hand when it came to pampering ladies and making them feel better.
She looked up and damn, her eyes. They were so beautiful and I couldn’t take my eyes off them. They were killers and I admired them so much.
“Am I beautiful?”
I didn’t know what to say cause I was lost staring into her eyes but of course, she was beautiful. At least I could say I found myself staring at her.
She took a step close to me, still looking into my face. I didn’t know when I stared down at her cute lips which were slightly parted.
“Then maybe i’m mistaken,” She said then stood on her toes to kiss me.
It came like a shock cause I didn’t know when I started kissing her back and we ended up kissing like we’d known each other for the longest time. Like we’ve been lovers.
Slowly, she held my hands and placed them on her waist then pressed her chest on mine. It was getting more intense when she pulled away and walked off immediately. Jeez, the fuck!
“Eleanor, wait!” I called out, breathing sharply and she stopped abruptly.
“Am sorry, it’s just… I just needed proof that I was beautiful” She said and made to open the door.
“You’re really beautiful Eleanor” I blurted out not knowing why. I couldn’t just keep it to myself.
She turned and looked at me then smiled softly, showing off her dimples “Thank you” With that, she walked out but not without staring at me before closing the door.
Wait.
What the hell just happened?

Kyler’s POV
After the meeting with the executives, I walked out with my guards. I was so damn tired. I’ve never been so worked up in a long time and I think the necklace caused that.
Aside from that, those cowards called Executives can’t get a thing straight. They keep asking questions upon questions which of course will arrive at one answer.
I should have pulled all of ’em from their different seats but I’ve gotta manage them and I hate that word. I hate when I have to manage what is useless to me.
Kim.
Isn’t that Kim? She stood beside one of my cars with my guards and I watched keenly. What the fuck was she doing here? Well, I didn’t care and made to get into the car when she called out to me. The nerves she’s got.
“I’m… I’m sorry. I know I didn’t meet your Secretary before coming here but…”
I looked off and made to go into the car again. What makes her think she can say my name? What makes her think she could be in my presence?
“Kyler, please, this is serious. Please just give me a little of your time”
I paused then turned to my guards. “Who let this mother fucker in here?”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“We’re sorry Sir but she didn’t want to leave when we asked her to. She insisted on meeting with you first”
I took out my silent gun and shot the person that answered and immediately two other guards dragged his dead body off. Kim gasped with her eyes wide open and used her palms to cover her mouth.
“Any more explanations huh?” The rest didn’t say a word and stood with their heads bent. None of them ever looked me in the face, not in history.
They knew how much I hated silence for an answer.
“We’re sorry Sir, this will never happen again” Another quivered and shook his head negatively.
“Of course it won’t” I aimed at him and was about to pull the trigger when Kim rushed in, blocking the way.
“Please… kill me instead. Please…”
I tried to pull the trigger but seeing the tears from her eyes made me smirk. The tears. That was the only weapon women had but I was the last person to fall for it especially when it came from someone like Kim.
“You bitch!” I cursed under my breath and tore the side of her arm with the bullet. She yelled and covered it up with her other hand. Not that the bullet had struck her skin. It just gave her a scratch.
Anything to make her yell and be in pain was something I could die for. “Throw her out of here if you don’t wanna lose your balls”
The guards swung into action and I turned and got into the car. It’s best she was thrown out else someone was gonna be carrying her corpse.
“Kyler, it’s her. Trust me, she’s gonna find all of you. She’s alive, please believe me. You and your brothers need to be careful”
“Drive” I ordered and the driver drove off as instructed. How the hell did she find out I was here for a meeting? Was she stalking me?
