We arrived at the quarter and it was larger than I had expected. It had a large sitting room with a private bar at the far corner.The bedroom was spacious and brightly lit and the floor covered with plush carpets. There was an organised study table mounted with arranged paper works, and a super computer.There was even a walk-in closet with custom organizers and shelves. The walls and bedsheets were bright colors of red mixed with dark grey. There was a mini library and a private balcony with exotic flowers and a Scarlet macaw in a cage up in the balcony.It had a warm and welcoming vibe to it. With how bright this room seemed to be, it couldn't possibly belong to the Alpha master everyone was dreading so I became more at ease.We shared ourselves and began cleaning. The masters were still at breakfast and if we clean fast enough we wouldn't need to run into them at all. We finished up quickly and decided to head back. Getting to the stairs, I realized I had forgotten a mop bucket in
"Hurry up!" She demanded.She led me to the garden at the back of the house and I walked slowly behind her. It was already evening and a bit dark in this part of the house, someone could be easily murdered here and no one would know."Over there." she said pointing. "I can only accompany you to this point." she said as she turned to leave."What! Why can't you go with me?" I said grabbing her arms."Why are you overreacting?" she said with a shocked expression on her face."Please I can't possibly go alone." I said pleading with my soul."Jeez, let go already, and hurry up before the master gets annoyed." she said forcefully escaping my grip as she walked away.I saw a silhouette at the other end of the garden. I searched around for anything I could use to defend myself and I saw a stick on the ground which I grabbed quickly. A stick was probably useless against this fierce Alpha but I could at least inflict some injuries on him. I walked slowly towards him with the stick close to me.
~ Leigh's POV ~I had a splitting headache after hearing all the bullshit the family elders had to say in this morning meeting. They all just cared about their own interests and not that of the pack as a whole."Dirty old maggots." I muttered to myself."You'd get old quickly if you keep frowning like that."Hearing this made me frown even more."I think I see wrinkles on your head Leigh. You're gonna get ugly soon." Nicolas said laughing loudly."It's probably been a long time since you got kicked." I said threatening him."Awwww! the cute puppy wants to bite." he said in an annoying tone. I didn't bother to answer as he was always like this.Nicolas was a friend I had met in highschool. He was a B ranked alpha from a less powerful pack, but we seemed to get along really well. Back then, he was being bullied by other stronger alphas, I initially ignored it as I didn't bother with things that were not my business but one day, it had gone out of hand and I stepped in to help him. Since
"Morning charming." Nicolas said as soon as I came down to the parking lot. I didn't bother to answer as usual."Jeez, stop frowning Gramps, you're gonna get old quick. I keep telling you this." he said jokingly but when he saw I wasn't going to indulge him he quit."I have to go see my doctor later today. Book an appointment." I said curtly."Yes boss!" he replied in a mocking manner.During the meeting, I couldn't concentrate at all. I was mad. Mad at myself for not being careful enough and falling into a trap. I can't believe I almost marked her. Jezz, all I said in the hotel was bullshit, I had no self control and the only reason I couldn't completely mark her was because she passed out probably due to her intake of the pills."Shit!" I said out loud unconsciously and everyone in the conference room looked at me shocked."Please continue." I said to the man making his presentation. He hesitated before he finally continued. He probably thought I was dissatisfied with what he was sa
I didn't return home for a week because I didn't have the energy to exchange words with father. He had his servants come fetch me countless times but I remained adamant.Nicolas had called that evening about an important document we needed for a meeting the next day but it was at the main house. I sighed defeated as I realized I'd have to go back home if I needed to retrieve it. The next day, I drove back home. I met with Miss Felice at the entrance and she was delighted to see me. She commented on how I had lost weight and told me she would get me breakfast privately as she knew I didn't want to eat with the rest of the family.In the entire household, Miss Felice was the only one I could rely on. She has been in the Troy household for two generations and she basically raised me after my mother passed away.I informed her about the reason for my coming as I didn't intend to eat anything now but I promised I'd be home later.I went straight to my room to grab the files I needed. When
~ Iris POV ~It has been a week since I started working in the Troy household and as Chad had promised, I wasn't sent anywhere near Leigh's quarters. I had also adjusted to my new life and was more familiar with my responsibilities. My only fear was running into Leigh and surprisenly, he hasn't been home since the past week. This was good news for me as I didn't have to encounter any more weird situations with him.As much as I wanted to resolve the misunderstanding between us, I wanted to avoid him as much.There are so many rumors about him from the older servants, he is known to be hot tempered and rude that all the other servants avoided close contact with him. The younger ladies all talk about how much of a pretty boy he was but his bad temper disqualifies him from being a perfect man, hence they all shifted their love and attention to Chad who was more likeable and easy to relate to.Chad was so likeable and easy going. He was loved and well received by all the servants. He was a
"Chad!" I exclaimed looking back to find him holding my arms firmly."What are you doing?" Leigh asked curtly as he turned to face Chad."I should be the one asking. What are you doing Leigh?" He said sounding pissed while Leigh tilted his head to the side in amusement."And what do you think I'm doing?" Leigh asked and I just stared at the both of them confused and afraid to utter a word."Wasn't it enough that you almost strangled her, now you also hurt her like this?" Chad said pointing at the injury in my arms."Umm it's actually... ""So what?" Leigh interrupted me. "What does it have to do with you?" He said raising a brow."Let go!" Chad said in an intimidating tone."You let go." Leigh said aggressively as they both gripped my hands tightly causing me to wince in pain.They both let go immediately."Are you alright?" Chad asked concerned while Leigh just stood there without saying a word. He seemed upset and irritated. He probably felt bad for being misunderstood and I couldn'
"Do you really have to seduce someone else?""What?" I asked confused."I'm talking about Chad, did you really have to get him involved?" He said with an expression I couldn't read.I really began to wonder what was going on inside of this man's head. Okay, I can understand the fact that he thought I had seduced him but him thinking I was doing the same with Chad was unacceptable. Angrily I pulled my hands from his grip."Master Leigh, I do not care what you think about me in that head of yours, but I will not have you insult me like this. I already told you that time at the hotel was a misunderstanding but you didn't believe me and I do not blame you, but you talking about my character like this as related to your brother Chad is unacceptable. If you would please excuse me." I said angrily as I stormed out.I knew I had spoken harshly and that I could probably lose my job, but I wasn't going to be insulted like that.I headed towards the servant quarters and I met Chad waiting at the
