"I still can't believe this is happening, really," Claire said as she walked alongside Kimberly and Zoey with the intention of walking her halfway to London's house before leaving for their training session."I know right? I mean I feel like trouble follow me around or something," Kim pouted and Claire and Zoey bursted into laughter."But it's a good thing though, like literally, I will call it luck, look at you, you get to share the same space with London for hours, you get to stay close to him, see him all the time, touch him, inhale his scent which I know will be super amazing, for real look at it from the bright side," Zoey said."And further, Jason is off your neck forever, Rebecca doesn't have the power to hurt you anymore, girl you are free from all the nightmares of this academy," Claire retorted."Yeah well, maybe I will agree with you Claire, but not you Zoey, staying close to London is not all rosy as you think, he'll control the hell out of you, ordering you around like yo
Kimberly felt a soft tap on her cheeks as she slept deeply.She stirred slightly and peeked through heavy sleepy eyes.Right beside her, London was squatting, staring into her face.Her eyes quickly flew open and she jerked up in a high speed."I... I'm so sorry sir, I didn't mean to sleep off," she stuttered. The sleep in her eyes quickly disappeared.He straightened up and stretched out his briefcase towards her and she grabbed it.Then he started walking away, she needed not to be told twice.Hugging the briefcase to her chest, she ran after him.**Kimberly groaned inwardly for the umpteenth time as she walked behind London.It's been over an hour since the left the meeting room, and all he did was to walk around the academy premises, taking note of things that needed to be worked on or replaced and making calls about it.He turned back towards Kimberly once in a while but each time he did, she always puts on a hard cover, placing a smile over her worn out face."Let's go," he su
Kimberly ran into London's apartment panting heavily."I'm so sorry sir, this is gonna be my last time," she bowed slightly."Let's go Kimberly," he muttered and started walking away.Kimberly turned around sharply and ran away towards him with different thoughts running through her head.Was he actually waiting for her? Cause she was sure she left her room ten minutes after her resumption time, adding up to her journey to his house she was terribly late.And surprisingly, he was already dressed up obviously waiting for her.Now her state of confusion was why she wasn't receiving any punishment.Except the grumpy look always on his face, he looked cool.**The walked into the field and as usual, all eyes turned towards them, this time their murmurs were distinct enough to their hearing."What is going on between boss and the new weird girl?" "I wish to be in her shoes,""She's so lucky.""I hate her.""How can she come to the Academy barely a month and she's already moving with Londo
"Zoey, for goodness sake, stop following me!" Kimberly groaned for the umpteenth time as Zoey kept walking beside her."Not happening girl, you are the hot cake in this institute right now, I need my own share of your popularity." Zoey pouted.Kimberly sighed in frustration and hastened her steps, she knew if they got halfway to London's place, Zoey will have no choice but to run back."You know, I just hate that they don't pick me for missions too, I would have been really killing it and also making a name for myself in this institute just like you," Zoey suddenly blurted out with a pout.Kimberly chuckled and turned towards her."Trust me Zoey, it's not a fun experience, your life is gonna flash before your eyes, I did well in this past missions because of just sheer luck, nothing else.""Well, I'm a strong girl, I can do it," Zoey replied."That's true though," Kim nodded.She knew if eventually Zoey is sent out on a mission, she was going survive and come back victorious.Zoey is
"What is she doing sitting this close to you?" She roared.London breathed out heavily."Kimberly, go wait in my room," he suddenly said throwing Kimberly further off balance."What? Why?" Rebecca threw the question that Kimberly badly wanted to ask."Do you want her here?" He threw back at her."Of course not, but that doesn't mean I want her in your room either," she replied.Deciding that she has heard enough, Kimberly turned around and started walking towards London's room.She couldn't stand back and let them have a debate about her matter right in her presence. "And where do you think you are going?" She heard Rebecca shout after her.She ignored her and walked straight into London's room.*She walked into the room and leaned on the door, she breathed out heavily, her palm fisted angrily.Rebecca was getting on her last nerves, and if she wasn't stronger than her, God knows she would have bitten back.Then, the occurrence of eating out of the same plate with London suddenly fl
She was shaking in fright as she held onto him tightly, she felt him suddenly go stiff for a moment.Her hands around him were slowly slipping off, she was going to fall.Surprisingly, he raised his hands slowly upwards and wrapped them around her waist, Kimberly could swore she stopped breathing for a minute, London had his hands on her waist.But then, her excitement was short lived as he carefully carried her down and made her stand on her feet.She had expected him to walk out of the hall at that point, since he was almost soaked with blood, he had a cut on his forehead which was bleeding slightly.Kimberly watched him stagger to a corner of the hall and sat, his head rested on the wall, breathing heavily.She could still feel the anger boiling in him furiously.She couldn't stop wondering how someone could be so short tempered.Her eyes drifted to the cut on the corner of his face, the bleeding was intensifying.Kimberly thought of what to do to help him, she was hurt seeing him
Its been days since the incidence and Kimberly and London have moved on with their daily routine.But deep down, she wished they could talk about what happened, she wished he could come clean with his decision of not hurting her during his anger moment, he let her take care of him, complimented the soup she prepared for the first time and the one that took the cake.He pleaded with her to stay with him.If only he could say the reasons behind everything.And worst, her work duration with him will soon be coming to an end, she had about three days before her time working as his personal maid.And truth be told, she didn't want that, even with his grumpy attitude towards her, somehow, she still wanted to be around him at all times.And somehow, she knew that probably he felt the same way too.She was extremely glad for getting into trouble and that way working as his personal maid, it has been a roller coaster but at the same time, it was one of the best times of her life.She got to se
"Kim?"Kimberly quickly wiped off her tears on hearing her brother's voice behind.She had stood there lost for minutes staring at her sick mother. Shortly after their father's death, her mom was diagnosed of diabetes, and ever since then, Kimberly has been the one pushing hard for their survival."Common Kim, You can't be doing this everyday, give yourself a break," Josh her younger brother retorted walking closer to her."Hey kiddo, I thought you left for school already? What are you still doing here," she asked."I don't think I want to go to school anymore," he mumbled."What?""It kills me to see you bear the pain of carrying the family's burden on your shoulders alone, I want to help out in any little way I can, maybe I can get a job or something," he said.Kimberly let out a heavy sigh trying her possible best to hold back the tears threatening to roll out of her eyes."Josh please, we've talked about this, you can't drop out like me, you've got a whole bright future ahead of

Kimberly jerked up from her sleep in fright."Zoey!! She screamed out in the loudest voice she could muster."Why I'm right here, why are you screaming?" Zoey grumbled sitting up on her bed."I told you to wake me up earlier than usual, now London is going to punish me for being late!" Kimberly yelled."Well I didn't know you were being serious, hold on, you are serious? You now work for London as his personal maid," Zoey retorted."Seriously?" Kimberly rolled her eyes at her and rushed into the bathroom.She quickly rushed her bath, dressed up and ran out .She ran hastily towards the building, ignoring the look from students who were staring at her like she has gone mad or something. They weren't even the least of her concerns at the moment.Her only problem at that moment was facing London.She remember he'd warned her strictly to resume exactly 6 in the morning but here she was resuming at some minutes past 7.Kimberly felt like slapping her face hard, but quickly decided against
"What?" Kim found the words rolling off her tongue.His personal what? Maid?How is that even possible? If he had wanted a maid, why didn't he hire one for himself? Why does it have to be her? Despite everything that he's made her pass through? he still had more punishments coming. And she was beginning to think he's getting to be nice to her.Only for him to do this.Different thoughts ran through her head as she stood there staring at him, tears beginning to well up in her eyes."I believe you heard me, you can leave now." He said icily. "Please sir, I apologize for everything, please don't do this to me," she pleaded. "I've served all the punishments you issued to me." She watched him inhale deeply and sighed."Kimberly, I hate it when I repeat myself, go to your room and get ready, your work starts tomorrow, you will resume 6 in the morning, and leave whenever I permit you," he said calmly.Kim remained standing, staring at him with pleading eyes."Sir..."" Kimberly!!!" He gr
