29

This isn't the first time this particular maid would give her such attitude.
Well...who cares?
"What do you want?" Sophia asked Marie.
"Am i not allowed to take a bottle of water?" Marie asked in a mean tone.
"I never said that, i only asked what you want" Sophia said,in a more mean tone.
Disha wondered why they both sounded mean to each other.
Marie picked a bottle of water from the fridge and then walked out of the kitchen.
"What's with her?" Disha asked.
"I just don't trust her" Sophia said.
"Really?" Disha asked and that made her think of Zack.
She wondered why Sophia wasn't seeing Zack the way she was.
Maybe he isn't that bad but her mind keep suspecting him.
She's still deliberating on warning Killian about Aiden.
He really needs to be more careful.
"I love it!!" Summer giggled happily after putting on the beautiful sweater.
Mrs Smith had applied some pretty pearl buttons on it.
Disha smiled, the sweater fitted Summer perfectly and the purple color made her caramel skin stand out.
She had made her wear white mini skirt and purple footwear to match.
A white hairband was holding her hair loosely and Disha really felt proud of herself to have made Summer this beautiful.
She felt like a mother.
The little girl stood in front of her large mirror, checking out herself.
"I need to take some pictures. My iPod please" Summer grinned.
*
They ended up taking so many beautiful pictures together and they were in smiles as they walked downstairs for lunch.
Summer showed off her new sweater to everyone while Disha smiled..
To Disha's delight, Killian was early enough to join them for lunch.
He so much loved the sweater on Summer and he thanked Disha severally.
Everyone admired the sweater and that made Summer showed it off proudly.
She took more pictures with it.
Killian sat in the library after dinner, waiting for Disha.
He was so nervous, he didn't know how he's gonna tell her to accompany him to a dinner party which he was invited to by one of his business partners.
It's a day after tomorrow.
Normally, he would have taken no one with him but the dinner party is strictly for couples and he doesn't even have a wife.
Should he take one of the maids?
No. He wants Disha.
What if she had not started working with him, won't he have other choices?
*
Disha gently walked out of Summer's room after putting her to sleep and headed to the library.
She was in her nightwear, not the one Lucien chose for her though, a more decent one.
She hoped to meet Killian in the library.
She really missed how they read together in front of the fireplace.
She was descending the stairs when she noticed how slippery the ground felt beneath her footwear.
The next step she took sent her feet off the ground and her body into the air.
She couldn't scream,and her mind shook at the dreaded thought that any part of her body can get broken.
She resigned to fate waiting for the pain she's gonna feel once her body hits the hard ground.
Killian stepped out of the library after he got tired of waiting.
Seems Disha isn't joining him tonight.
He's gonna tell her about the dinner party tomorrow.
*
Disha resigned to fate waiting for the pain she's gonna feel once her body hits the hard ground.
She closed her eyes tightly as she felt her body hit the ground..
It's hard but not as hard as she had thought and she could tell no part of her body is hurt.
She was surprised she could land this safely..and what the fuck!
She felt the ground breathing.
The ground is breathing!!
Was she dreaming?
Her eyes were still closed and they snapped open the moment she heard the voice she didn't even think she could hear at that strange moment.
"Are you okay?" Killian asked.
Disha realised she was in his arms and not on the floor!
No wonder she hadn't sustained any injury.
She sighed in relief still looking into Killian's eyes.
He saved her!
Is it worry she could see in his eyes or he was truly looking intensely at her.
"Thank you" She said as he slowly put her down on her feet.
Her feet weren't stable for a while and she had to hold the stairs rail for support.
"Are you okay?" He asked again and she nodded.
She didn't know if the result of her heart beating so fast is because Killian is so near or the fact that she had nearly broken her bones.
"Come, come have some water to calm your nerves" Killian said.
**
"What really happened?" Killian asked and Disha sighed.
She felt better after she had taken water and was now seated in the library with Killian.
"I..i was coming to the library after i succeeded in putting Summer to bed...when i.. slipped, but how did you caught me? I never expected someone would come to my rescue" Disha said and Killian smiled proudly, even though his heart had been in his throat when he saw Disha falling and he had made sure he was fast enough to prevent her body from hitting the ground.
"I was returning to my room when i...saw you... i didn't even know where i got that strength and speed from" Killian said .
"Thanks anyway, i can't even imagine what would have happened to me" Disha said deeply bothered.
"My stairs is not always that slippery, i specially made it non slippery because of Summer. Did you had some.. things beneath your footwear or were you walking so fast on the stairs?"
"No, nothing was beneath my footwear, i think it has something to do with the stairs" Disha said,so sure of what she's saying.
If something slippery was truly beneath her footwear, she would have slipped the moment she walked out of Summer's room.
Killian had gone back to the stairs to find what made her slip but he hadn't found anything.
She was also pushed into the pool the other day, who wants her dead in this house?
She should leave but... she haven't even gotten her mum's surgery bills.
"I think someone might have mistakenly spilled water on the stairs" Killian said.
"They should have cleaned it dry knowing it's gonna hurt someone" Disha said.
"Of course, I'm gonna call them together tomorrow but we aren't even sure someone truly spilled water or anything slippery on the stairs " Killian said.
"Just let it go. " Disha sighed.
"Really?"
"Sure" she shrugged.
"Are you feeling better now?" Killian asked and she nodded even if she was still shaken by what happened.
"I actually thought you wouldn't be joining me in the library tonight but...as fate would have it" Killian said completing his statement with a smile.
Disha found herself smiling too.
"I missed reading in front of the fireplace and all" Disha said..
"Ohh...i would be sincere, i actually missed reading with you" Killian said.
"Hmm...I'm flattered" Disha said dramatically and they laughed.
"So, I'm invited to a dinner party strictly for couples and it's a must go for me" Killian said.
"Ohh... don't worry about leaving Summer in my care, i will take good care of her" Disha said.
"Of course i know but the party is.. strictly for couples" Killian said.
"You said that earlier" Disha said,not really getting the picture.
"There's no one to go with me" Killian said.
Normally he would have taken one his staffs but he wants Disha to go with him this time.
"Ohh" Disha pressed her lips together.
"Yeah" Killian said expecting her to offer to go with him. Other ladies would have jumped at the opportunity but she isn't even saying anything.
"So what do we do?" Disha finally asked.
"I don't know" Killian said.
"You can ask one of your workers to go with you" Disha said.
"That's what I'm gonna do" Killian said.
"Ohh... okay then, I'm gonna take good care of..."
"Will you go with me?" Killian cut through her words.
"Please" He added.
"Huh?" She asked, blushing terribly.
"Yes, i want you to go with me" Killian said.
"Who's go..nna...take ca..re of Summer?" Disha stuttered.
A billionaire is asking her to be his date!
She knows it's just for a night but damn! She's feeling tiny gymnasts dancing in her stomach already.
She's feeling so honored.
Killian had chosen her over hundreds of his female staffs.
"Disha, it's a dinner party and you would have put Summer to bed before we leave" Killian said.
"O..kay. I will go with you" She said.
"Thank you" Killian smiled, concealing his excitement.
"Yes!.
No lady can refuse him...he's Killian Mikaelson" He boasted to himself.
"So, input your shoe and dress size in here, and choose the make up artist you'd like to make you up. " Killian said, stretching his phone to her.
"No, i don't need a dress nor shoes. I have lots of them" Disha said.
"Huh?" Killian asked and Disha smiled.
"You're probably thinking they won't be beautiful enough for the party. I know a billionaire date has to appear stunning " Disha said.
"Exactly" Killian said.
"Well.., I've gat beautiful dresses i made for myself that even most females would kill to own. I'm a fashion designer and when it comes to dresses...i rock " Disha boasted and Killian stared at her in disbelief.
He was wowed.
He never know her to be this boastful and for her to have boasted right now, it means she's so sure of what she's saying.
She looked so proud when she mentioned being a fashion designer, that passion showed deeply in her eyes.
"And as for shoes, i have no problem with that too. Do not bother about inviting a make up artist over, i do my make up myself even if i don't have the best equipment"
"Wow!" Killian smiled. "What of your hair?"
"Leave that to me" Disha smiled and Killian felt like hugging her.
"Thank you" He said.
"For what?" Disha asked.
"For being so different" Killian said and she smiled.
"So,what day is the party?" She asked.
"Wednesday" Killian responded.
"I'll be going home tomorrow" Disha said.
"Why?" He asked.
"To pick the dress,shoes and other necessary things" Disha said.
"You don't have them here?"
"No, who would have thought a billionaire would ask me to be his date" She said and Killian laughed.
"A billionaire isn't my name though" He said.
"But it's the status you hold" Disha said and he shrugged.
"So you would go home after dropping Summer in school"
"Yes"
"I know you would want to spend some time with your mum but please be home before Summer arrives from school" Killian said with a blank expression.
"Of course" Disha said.
"Woah, time is far spent" Killian said glancing at the wall clock.
"Geez! We should go to bed" Disha said.
"Bye" Disha waved to Summer as Tom led her to her class.
"Bye" She waved back.
They sat back in the car in silence, waiting for Tom.
Eric tuned in some music while they waited.
*
"You don't wanna pass that street? It's a shorter route" Tom said to Eric.
"Mr Killian said to drop Disha in her house after we've dropped Summer" Eric said.
"Ohh" Tom said.
They were heading home after dropping Summer in school.
"Huh? I don't think there'll be a need for that" Disha said, she had planned to take cab cause she wanted to buy some foodstuffs along with her and Zack is gonna know her home address?
Hell..no.
"Why?" Tom asked.
"I need to pick some things" Disha said.
"Ohh... okay then" Eric said, he reversed the car and took the shorter route.
"Or you're so ashamed of anyone seeing how poor looking your house is" Zack laughed shocking everyone with his words.
"Are you crazy!!" Disha said in a shaky voice, deeply hurt by what he just said.
"Zack! That's not a nice thing to say" Eric said.
"How could you say that! I Never knew you were this bitter" Tom said angrily.
"Keep shut man!" Zack said.
"Like you have a better house" Tom said and that got Zack riled up.
He unbuckled his seat belt and turned to punch Tom in the face.
Tom returned his punch and they started exchanging punches in the car.
Disha whose eyes were laced with tears by what Zack had said,started crying, begging them to stop.
Eric quickly brought the car to a halt and tried separating them but got punched in the face.
Looks like the both of them were unleashing the anger they've had for each other for years.
"I'm going to call Mr Killian!" Disha wiped her tears, grabbing her phone with shaky hands.
Zack snapped it from her hand and tossed it out of the window.
Tom grabbed him by the neck and slapped him in the face.
Another round of fight started. They were both men with huge build and the car couldn't contain them any longer, the door bursted open and they both fought out of the car. Eric was glad they weren't on the highway,they were in a quiet street.
"Do something Eric!" Disha screamed when she saw Zack bringing out a small knife.
