Chapter 46
Leigh-Ann’s POV
After two classes, the next was a free period so I waved Ariana out of the class. Since she’s a member of the Black Ass, she sat at the other end of the class with others. That was the new routine. The two gangs didn’t sit together.
“I hope you wanna tell me that you’ve considered all my pleas to become Daggers’ Woman,” She said once we were out of the class. I sighed despondently and she frowned. “Do you even understand what this is about huh? What this problem is causing?”
I could sense the anger in her voice but decided to ignore it. “I know…”
“No, you don’t. The two gangs are fighting themselves each day. Friends now turn enemies because of all these shits and here you are taking it as nothing. Do you want someone to die before doing what is right huh?” She fired and I couldn’t believe she did that. How was this my fault huh? I didn’t ask to be picked by any gang or whatever.
“Then what the hell do you want me to do? Should I give myself to some sort of bastard I don’t like? I should pick a knife and divide myself into two halves so everyone would be satisfied? Tell me” I huffed while she sighed. “Well, if am to give answers to all of that then I’m not doing any fuckin’ thing. This is a school, not some fighting den”
Someone applauded from behind and I noticed the look on Ariana’s face changed. There were frights written all over it. “Nice speech though”
I turned and found Daggers along with three of his gang members. “What do you want?” I asked irritably and he smirked. He took a step closer.
“We both know the answer to that ash head, don’t we?”
I rolled my eyes and folded my arms. “No, I certainly don’t. I don’t know what the fuck you want from me”
He remained quiet for some time and stared down at the floor. “Maybe you will after you find out that your beloved friend had been ripped off limb by limb and her pussy torn apart” He gruffed coldly and I gasped. What the fuck? The cold look in his eyes only made me shiver.
He snapped his fingers and immediately, the boys went after Ariana who began pleading to be left alone. “Let me go! Please let me go, do something Leigh,”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
I turned to look at Daggers then back at Ariana. The boys were dragging her off already. “You can’t do this, let her go”
“Fine. Your wish, my command but not until you do what you’ve got to”
He began walking off but paused and blew a kiss at me. I glared hard at him, wishing I could punch him in the face. “Two days Leigh, two fuckin’ days”
He walked off with both hands in his trouser pocket and I felt bitter that I couldn’t do anything. I turned quietly and my gaze caught Ceeara’s who smirked and walked off. I’m sure she’s so happy about this.

Unknown’s POV
“Mum, Kyler is one freaking guy. He doesn’t speak to anyone and doesn’t let anyone come his way. He’s always wearing this cold look that makes sizzles run down my spine”
“Kenver and Kael don’t even give the slightest attention. None of them has ever said anything cool to me, well, except Kash”
I listened attentively but then, there was a brief silence. I was sure to pick out everything she said without leaving any juice behind. I didn’t want to miss out on any detail.
“At least he’s different from the rest. He’s lovable and I’m getting to know him. I’m thinking he’s the link we need mum”
I waited to hear more but didn’t get anything else. Seriously? Was she for real? Such little and useless information sounded like bedtime stories for kids.
“It seems you don’t know all these and as always, they sound like your unrealistic thoughts.” I spat out, dryly. I had thought she’ll carry out the task perfectly but I was wrong. Shame on me for raising such a daughter.
“Stop thinking he’s the link we need and find that out. It’s getting to three weeks now and I’m starting to regret ever sending you there. Ema and Blue would’ve done better and made me proud”
“Mum… Please, I need more time. I can’t do all those immediately unless you want them to suspect me”
I rolled my eyes and looked out of the window. I couldn’t wait to bring them down. To take all that’s rightfully mine but how can I when I’ve not even gotten to any of them?
“You’re my eyes and ears so don’t fail me. You know what happens to those that fail me, don’t you? I wouldn’t mind if you were my own daughter”

Kash’s POV
“Hey!” Dulga called out as she approached me. I noticed something so usual about her. She always has her phone with her and sometimes, she’ll rush out to use it. Sounds absurd right?
“Aren’t we going to the movies? You promised me, remember?”
I wanted to respond but I paused when I spotted Eleanor walking out of the restroom. I couldn’t help staring at her cause damn, she was so beautiful.
“Hello… ”
I shut my eyes then turned back to Dulga who of course had noticed my absent-mindedness. “Um… I’m kinda busy. Maybe later”
She frowned then bit her lower lips. “You always say that. But no worries, I could help you out if you want”
“I need to work it out on my own. Later” Before she could say more, I walked off. She could be a real pest at times.
I walked into the Study Room and met Kael and Kenver along with Eleanor. She kinda looked nervous when she saw me cause she looked away immediately. Okay, let’s get this done with, shall we?
“Hey” I greeted her once I got to her seat.
“Hey” she replied and lowered her gaze. “Am sorry for bumping into you earlier, Please am sorry”
I chuckled lightly. “It wasn’t me. I’m Kash”
She looked up and lowered her head immediately. I could see finger marks on the side of her face like she had been slapped and I knew one of my brothers must’ve done that to her.
“Am sorry about that” I said and reached out to touch her face but she pulled away. “I need to talk to you”
She didn’t respond and acted like she was more engulfed in her reading. It only made me lose patience. I wasn’t here to watch her act like she was deaf or play dumb either. I just hated the fact that she was always on my mind.
“Damn It, Eleanor, I said I need to talk to you” I growled, closing the book that was opened in front of her. She gasped but didn’t look up, obviously shocked.
“About what happened yesterday… ”
“I know, am sorry, I wouldn’t have kissed you but… am so sorry please” She apologized with tears in her voice. “I’m so sorry. I felt like a total jerk to have pushed myself on you”
With that, she stood up and walked out. Damnit. Why was she acting that way? I just wanted to talk.
“Work’s done so can we now go to the movies?” Eleanor asked from behind and I cursed under my breath. Had she been listening all along?
