Maid for the Mafia Boss

” Tito Andre took me in his custody after seeing me on the streets. I owe him a lot. So I trained to be one of his men. Then he introduced me to Kei, he saved my life a couple of times, and here I am,” I smiled at Maxence, who is sitting on the sofa.

We tell stories to each other after our scene earlier.

I think it’s already 2 in the morning.

” Nassandra,” I heard Keian’s deep voice, so I looked at the stairs where the voice came from.

His eyebrows are raised at Maxence and my direction.

” Why are you still not sleeping? What are the two of you doing outside of your rooms?” I glanced at Maxence, who stood up.

” It’s for us to know and for you to find out,” I smirked at Keian.

” You sounded like a father,” his forehead wrinkled as he approaches me.

” Maxence. Don’t tell me you’re not sleeping because of your games. Get to sleep.” Maxence rolled his eyes at Kei’s direction but with an amused look.

” Yes, maître,” I prevented myself from shouting when Keian lifted me like a sack of rice.

” And you, young lady. I’ve been waiting for you to enter our bedroom. I fell asleep.” He said to me with a blank expression.

” Who asked you to wait for me?” He twisted the doorknob and entered the room.

He dropped me to the bed and pinned me down with his body.

” Oy! My body would ache tomorrow! You’re heavy, you know!” He opened his eyes, and the two of us stared at each other.

He kissed me on my lips before putting his face on my neck.

” Good night.”

—

” Ughhh,” I put my hand on my nape and stretched my neck, wishing for the pain to go away.

My neck is not the only thing that hurts, my whole body is also in pain. How would I not when Keian is sleeping on top of me the entire night!

*sigh*

Zeke suspiciously looked at me, and it seemed like some thoughts are forming in his mind.

” Did you—”

” Aytz. First of all, Keian and I did not do THAT, okay? Second, why are you here? Don’t you have any work you need to do?” He rolled my eyes at me but gave a grin.

” Really? Because you looked like you were— okay! I’ll shut my mouth.” He stopped what he’s saying when I shot him a death glare.

” Oh, and to answer your question, I’m waiting for Kei. We’ll go to the office together.” I nodded at him at the same time as the arrival of Keian in the living room.

” Nassandra, you okay being here? Do you want to come with me to my office?” I shook my head at Keian then fixed his messy hair.

” No… If it’s okay, can me and Brylle go to the mall?” He frowned.

” Gaius’ men might make a move. Can you two wait until I can join you in the mall?” My eyebrows furrowed.

” You don’t have to do that Keian, I can protect Brylle and myself. I know you still have a lot of work you need to do.” his frown still hasn’t disappeared.

” Then have someone accompany you. Though almost everyone is on their own houses.” Zeke and Keian glanced at each other and communicated using only their eyes.

” I’ll accompany them,” I gazed at Maxence, who climbed down from the stairs.

Keian sighed, then nodded in approval at Maxence.

” Keep them safe,” Keian approached me and locked me in an embrace.

” I’ll see you in the evening” he pecked my lips, then immediately leave to drive his own car.

Zeke followed behind.

” What time are we leaving?” My eyes returned to Maxence.

” I’ll just change clothes. If you don’t mind, we’ll stay at our house first as the mall doesn’t open ’till 10.” He smiled at me then nodded.

I gave a smile back and went up to Keian’s room to take a bath and change into decent clothes.

When I finished preparing myself, I returned to the living room where Maxence is playing a game on his phone. His gaze looked up at me when he noticed my arrival.

” Let me just finish this,” I waited for him for some time before he was able to defeat his opponent on his game.

” Let’s go,” he’s now talking to me casually, but he still doesn’t want to speak occasionally.

Maxence drove to our house, and we waited there for about 3 hours.

I was even surprised when I saw Maxence and Brylle became close in just a limited time. Maxence did not even use his phone and chose to play with Brylle.

” Mama, can we watch a movie in the mall” I smiled at Brylle and ruffled his hair.

” Of course, baby, what do you want to watch?” he pouted as he doesn’t know what to answer.

The three of us are already on the road going to the mall, inside Maxence’s car.

” Here,” I saw Maxence gave his phone, so I raised an eyebrow in his direction.

” Go to the mall’s website and see what movies they’re going to play in the cinema,” I reached for his phone hesitatingly and searched for the mall’s website.

I went to the mall cinema’s page and winced.

” Why?”

” The movies are mostly horror,” he nodded in understanding and asked for the phone back.

He texted on his phone while driving.

I eyed the road intently, nervous that something terrible might happen.

” Here, type all the movies Brylle might want to watch,” I got confused at his question.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

What did he say??

” Ha?” he rolled his eyes at what I said.

” The mall has a VIP cinema. I rented it for a while so we can watch other movies for Brylle.”

” Does that mean I’ll get to watch all the movies I want?” Brylle asked with shining eyes.

Maxence nodded and smiled at the kid.

I blinked at what’s happening.

” Isn’t that expensive? I don’t that much money,” he glared at my question.

” Who said you’ll pay? Just start typing.” I sarcastically smiled at him.

I just realized that this man is also a snob…(─‿‿─)

—

After watching three movies continuously on the private cinema Maxence rented, we went to eat in a restaurant that my companion said was a chain that belongs to his cousin.

I prevented myself from feeling frustrated at Maxence.

*sigh*

I’m more alright if he doesn’t speak at all. Joke.

I don’t have any problem with that, considering that I’m getting used to the boys in the mansion…

” Mama, CR.” I looked at Brylle, whose eyes are in the comfort room’s direction.

” I’ll accompany him,” I smiled at Maxence.

I used to just bring Brylle to the women’s restroom because he’s still a child.

” Alright, I’ll wait here,” Brylle joined Maxence, and the two of them entered the comfort room for boys.

Keian

Are you in the mall now?

—

Nass?

—

Baby, answer me.

A response is sufficient.

—

Ghad, Nassandra. It’s been 2 hours already. Answer your damn phone.

—

Nassandra.

Hey Nassandra.

Nass.

—

If only I’m not in a meeting right now, I’ll rush there.

—

Okay. I’m going there.

I winced at the messages. I didn’t notice his texts. I forgot to update him. Hehehe.

I immediately called him because his last message was only 2 minutes ago.

” Oy! Where—”

” Finally! I’ve been texting and calling you for the past three hours, you could’ve just answered your freaking phone! Don’t you know how worried I am!? Even Maxence is not checking his cellphone.”

I sighed.

” Look, I’m sorry okay? I didn’t notice your messages. Don’t go here, we’re fine. We are safe. Brylle and Maence just went to the CR.” I heard his deep intake of breath.

” Next— Hey Nassandra! Can you please scold Kei! He won’t even focus on work!” Zeke butted in our conversation.

” Hayyy, you guys are the bosses there. Your employees might notice.”

” They don’t care. They shouldn’t care. Anyway, you will answer every one of my texts and calls from now on. Understood?” I scowled at his command.

” Yes, maitre,” I sarcastically answered.

” Okay, okay. Go back to work.” Before Keian even got to respond, I immediately ended the call.

” Pat,” my eyes widened when someone held my wrist.

My eyes looked up and saw Diego under the hood of his jacket.

I suddenly got nervous because anger is evident in his face.

” D-Diego, what are you doing here?”

” Come with me,” he tried to pull me, but I stopped him.

” Please, Diego. Stop this already.” He sharply looked at me then signaled to some men around us.

” Those are part of Il Massimo Inpero, Pat. Oh, there’s also someone in the comfort rooms.” I sucked in my breath when I understand what he’s saying.

” What do you want?” he didn’t answer me and pulled me to a cafe.

He told me to sit at a two-seated table, with him sitting in front of me.

I stayed silent while he called for a waiter to order.

” Pat,” I looked up at him, who is now staring at me intently.

” I didn’t know you had a child.” He stated with a hint of anger in his voice.

I continued to keep quiet.

” Don’t hurt Brylle, Diego. He’s just a child.” He smirked and tightly gripped my hand.

” So tell me, who is the father of the child Pat. Is it Keiranz? What did you saw in that man?” I sighed at what he said.

” He’s far more better than you, Diego.”

” Even when he killed Lola?” I froze at what he said.

What?

” His father is the reason Lola died, Pat. An innocent old lady. So who do you think is better now?” I shook my head at him.

” No. Grandma died because of her sickness.” He glared at me.

” Pat, they’re the ones who killed Lola. Don’t you find it suspicious that time?” I clenched my fist.

My Lola, Maximo’s wife, died when I was 16 years old. At that time, Diego started to avoid me.

Lolo said that Lola got sicked that’s why she died, but my family is hesitating if that’s true. We can’t find any witnesses, so that issue disappeared as time goes.

I shook my head again at Diego.

” That’s not true,” his head slightly tilted at me.

” Let me tell you the story of my life,” my eyebrows furrowed at what he said. But I’m curious as to what really happened to him.

” I know that you already know my real identity, my name is Gaius Samiano. So why Samiano, you asked? Tita Janet adopted me, sister of your mom Pat. Unfortunately, she died, and when Lola saw me, she took me in her care.”

Tita Janet is my mom’s older sister who became a widow and could not bear a child. She has illness since she was a child, and I’m still so young when she died.

” And do you know who my real father is?” my eyes widen in horror.

” Andre Marques.” I can’t help but stand up at the information I learned, causing the other cafe customers to look at me.

I don’t want to be here anymore…

” When I died, I promised to get revenge for her. That’s why I disappeared, Pat. I’m getting ready. After two years, I discovered that you are no longer in Lolo’s care, and I found out that Tita, Tito, Khalil, you, and your friend are already dead.” He stood up and made me sit down-his hand gripping my shoulders.

” I can’t understand why you are with that Marques. Maybe you’re plotting to avenge your family?” I looked sharply at him.

” What do you mean?” he put his mouth closer to my ear and whispered.

” Tell me, Pat. Are you planning something to kill every person who is in Marques Mafia? It’s okay, I feel the same. He killed your family, even Lolo, and I fully understand your feelings. Come on, Pat. Join me.” I stared at him in horror.

What did Lolo tell him?!

He messed up with his mind!

” Diego, you’re wrong. Keian’s not the one who killed—” I cut off what I’m saying and froze in the spot when he embraced me, and I can feel his breath on my neck.

” Shhh. It’s okay, Pat. I’ll support you. Come back to Il Massimo Impero.” I can feel him kissing my neck, causing me to be a statue that can’t even move an inch.

Diego… You shouldn’t have believed in Lolo. He’s the one who killed my family.

I want to say that aloud, but I can’t find the energy to do so.
