Chapter 36
Kyler’s POV
{•Flash Back ends•}
” Do you need more coffee, Sir?” One of the maids asked, jerking me out of my thoughts and slowly, I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath.
” Get the hell out of there” Kash cautioned before I could open my eyes to see who had disrupted my thoughts. The maid scurried away like she knew what was gonna happen next if I laid eyes on her.
Kenver chuckled then turned to Kash ” You’re such a killjoy. Why didn’t you let her taste her death”
” She’s new here”
” Does it matter? They don’t just know when and when not to speak. Disgusting fellows” Kenver spat and sipped his wine.
I stood up and walked out. There was someone important I needed to meet.

Leigh-Ann’s POV
The Brothers were done eating and had left the dining. Phew, now the coast is clear.
” Hey come on let’s go, we’re done here,” Maerie said and yawned. Oh dear, she must really be tired.
” Go on, I’ll join you later. Wanna get some fruits for Kael ”
” It’s Sir Kael ” She drawled and yawned again. Okay, she needs to take a rest. ” Just get used to it to avoid trouble”
” Okay, fine. Can you go now? ” She walked off and I rolled my eyes. Kael didn’t even mind if I called him Sir or by his name. He was just one snub.
After getting the fruits, I walked out to the dining area and took a seat. The fruits were so nice and I was tempted to take one. It wouldn’t hurt, right? I picked the raspberries and ate them. They tasted nice and cool.
As I kept eating the fruits, my eyes caught something on the other end of the table. It looked like a necklace. I so wanted to ignore it but I just couldn’t. I was so curious.
I got over and picked up the necklace. It was beautiful and looked expensive. Who could’ve dropped it off?
I kept admiring the necklace and didn’t know how I made it open. It was a locket and had pictures of people in it. One a woman and the other a man. Wow, it’s really beautiful.
I heard footsteps and knew I had to leave immediately. Should I drop the necklace off? It was misplaced and I could easily give it to Kael so he could return it to its owner. Or more, I could just drop it off and leave to avoid trouble.
I was curious to know who owned the necklace and the pictures in the locket so I placed it inside my pocket and grabbed the fruit bowl before rushing off.

Kyler’s POV
” I couldn’t get to her before she escaped but I know she has dropped the necklace off on purpose ”
” The board members had nothing to do with it. I think whoever the lady is might have hacked our system to know your schedule. And I’m sure she’s not alone in this. She must be an agent” Orlando said acutely and I thought of it. He was right. The lady must’ve been sent by someone.
” But we could track down the lady if you want Sir. We could find her easily ”
Finding her wasn’t the problem but I never thought of it. I don’t think I want to.
” There’s no need but I’ve got an assignment for you and the boys ” I stared at the glass of gin in my hand then looked up at Orlando. ” You’ll keep the necklace for safety reasons. If any of my brothers find it, they’ll know and would be on my neck ”
I reached into my pocket to pull out the necklace but to my dismay, it wasn’t there. I stood up immediately. Orlando did the same, startled by my action.
” Is there a problem Sir? ”
I didn’t respond but kept checking my pockets. I checked my clothes too. It was here, I had it with me so where could it be?
I kept searching till I was convinced that I had misplaced it. ” God damnit! ”
I fisted my hands and clenched my jaw. I wasn’t a careless type so where could I have dropped it? Where the fuck is the necklace?
” Is there a problem Sir? ” Orlando asked again and I turned to face him.
” There’s one and it’s gonna explode if the necklace is not found “
