Maid for the Mafia Boss

” KEIAN!!” I loudly shrieked.

” F***!!!”

” Ow!” I almost slammed my head on the dashboard of the car after Keian suddenly stepped on the brakes.

He gave me an awful look and that’s what I also did to him in return.

” What the hell is wrong, Nass?!” He asked, irritation is evident in his tone.

I rolled my eyes and avoided eye contact with him.

“You never mentioned anything about going to a private island.” He sighed and held my cheek to make him face his eyes.

” I didn’t?” I furrowed my eyebrows pointing.

“You didn’t.”

” Well that’s because it’s a surprise… so, surprise!” He lets out a sweet smile while I winced.

” But Keian, a Private Island? You should’ve told me.” I furrowed my eyebrows at him again.

” But it’s a surprise and also, it belongs to our family, specifically for Mom” I took a deep breath and looked straight into his eyes.

” But… it’s too much” He winced and thought for a second.

” Okay, let’s rent a beach house then, in this town” My eyes widened at what he just said.

” What? No, don’t bother… fine, we’ll stay at your private island. Things must’ve already been prepared in there.” His eyebrows deepened.

” It’s okay, I can ask someone to—” He stopped speaking when I kissed him on the cheek.

” We’ll go to the private island. Sorry I was just shocked and thank you” He fell silent for a while as if he was absorbing what I said before letting out a smile.

” Anything for you, baby” he rubbed my cheeks with his thumb while we’re staring at each other.

*beeeeeepppp*

My hand went to my chest when someone honked their car for a few seconds.

Keian’s eyes narrowed and intended to get something from the compartment in between seats of the car but I already held his arm to stop him.

“Don’t mind him anymore, we’re the ones who stopped in the middle of the road anyway.” He winced but gave in and started driving the car.

This Palawan trip is going smooth

so far…

I flashed a smile at the man who passed by our side since, y’know, he smiled at me…

” Did you smile at that man?” Keian asked with a scowled face.

“He’s the first one who smiled! I’m not a snob.” Well, sometimes.

We’re currently walking down the sidewalks of town, with the beach serving as a gorgeous view at our left.

I’m wearing a brown and pink shirt while a bag was slung over my shoulder with matching sunglasses because the sun is mad and it’s terribly hot.

Keian was wearing a blue suit, seems like the first time I see him not wearing a black suit. And just like me, he’s also wearing sunglasses…

We had just finished eating lunch so we thought of parading around the streets here in town before riding a boat to the private island.

Since we’re just near the ocean, a lot of people here are strolling, most of them are wearing proper swimming attires. You know, swimming shorts, rash guards, bikinis…

Keian fell silent and pouted. So I raised an eyebrow at him.

” Hey, don’t be jealous, you’re the father of my child” I held his hand and gently squeezed it.

He ultimately smiled at my statement.

” Okayyy” He said like a child and pulled me so we’d go back to walking.

My eyes caught a specific shop and my eyes stayed there for a longer time.

Keian noticed that and also looked at where my eyes were stayed put.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

It was a shop that’s selling swimsuits and swimming equipment.

I felt Keian squeezed my hand and said;

” Do you want to buy there?” I turned to him and shook my head a little.

“No, I wouldn’t need them anyway.” He raised an eyebrow at me.

” You only have rash guard and not bikini right?” My eyes widened and I suddenly feel my cheeks heating up.

My companion smirked at my reaction.

” I bet you will look incredibly gorgeous and sexy in a bikini, baby” I must be blushing like a very ripe tomato so I quickly avoided eye contact.

“T-That’s not true! And my baby bump is already evident enough, it wouldn’t look nice.” I tried reasoning out.

Because all my eyes were really focusing on where all the nice bikinis lined up in that shop.

I have never worn anything like those before. I don’t know, almost every woman wants to experience wearing those stuff, right?

” You’ll still look beautiful and sexy with your baby bump and besides, we’ll just be at the private island.” I pouted.

“Still, it’s going to be intimidating once you’re there….” Keian sighed and walked closer to me.

” Baby, you don’t have to be embarrassed … Whatever you look like, even if you gain weight, I’ll still love you and you’re still the most beautiful girl in the world for me” I lowered my head.

The nerve of this guy giving me the feels!

” Fine!” He smiled and immediately pulled me towards the shop.

His expression turned cold when the saleslady smiled sweetly at him.

Keian ignored the lady and pulled me to the line of the bikinis.

” Go on,” He said as if it was a command.

I shook my head at him and started rummaging through the hangers.

” Nassandra?” Both Keian and I stopped when we heard someone calling my name. It was an awfully familiar voice I heard.

Keian furrowed his eyebrows and we both turned behind us at the same time.

I suddenly smiled as I saw the person that just called me.

” Lemuel!” Because of the excitement of seeing him again, I let go of Keian’s hand and went over to hug the guy that just called me.

Lemuel gladly returned the gesture.

“What are you doing here?!” I asked with a mixture of shock and happiness.

I also noticed Keian’s jaw tightened on the spot.

Psh.

Lemuel stepped away from me a little and put his arms on my shoulders.

“I moved here in Palawan last year. It’s been a long time since we saw each other!”

“Yeah, you’re right! How are you?” I asked him with a very wide smile.

Then I felt Keian holding on to my shirt like a lost little child.

“Oh yeah, I’m totally okay. What about you, Nass. Looks like you’re living a pretty good life now.” He looked at Keian and only cast him a cold look.

I pouted and went over to Keian.

“Yes. Thanks to you,” Keian furrowed his eyebrows at my statement.

“This is Lemuel. He helps me a lot when I was still living in the streets.” I explained to Keian in a form of an introduction.

His mouth shifted before letting out a sigh and stretched a hand to Lemuel for a handshake.

” Keiranz Marques. Nassandra’s husband” He coldly said with emphasis.

The ‘Nassandra’s husband got me shook up there for a moment.

Lemuel smiled and gladly accepted his hand.

” Lemuel Arellano. I’m glad Nass is doing very good.” Keian nodded and made his distance.

I creased my eyebrows at him but he avoided eye contact with me anyway.

Lem scratched his nape in shame.

“Lem, where do you reside here in Palawan?” He returned his gaze up to me.

“Oh, just in one of those group of houses by the seaside. Haven’t I told you last time that I always wanted to live near the sea?” I can’t help but smile at his cheerful way of speaking about it.

“Yeah, good thing you managed to find a home here… What is your work here, by the way?” His eyes shimmered at the question.
