Let $S$ be the sum of the first 9 term of the series : $\{ x + k a \} + \left\{ x ^ { 2 } + ( k + 2 ) a \right\} + \left\{ x ^ { 3 } + ( k + 4 ) a \right\} + \left\{ x ^ { 4 } + ( k + 6 ) a \right\} + \ldots$ where $a \neq 0$ and $x \neq 1$. If $S = \frac { x ^ { 10 } - x + 45 a ( x - 1 ) } { x - 1 }$, then $k$ is equal to
(1) - 5
