Maid for the Mafia Boss

AFTER 2 MONTHS…

Keian’s POV

I touched the name engraved on the stone over the brown soil.

Other than the rectangle-shaped, grassless spot on the ground, its surroundings are color green.

I wiped the tears that escaped my eyes.

‘ She is a great and reliable ally, she fought with her loved ones, and thus she will never be forgotten…’

” Mama,” I faced Brylle to me and wiped the tears on his face.

He had been crying for so long.

” Hey, Brylle. It’s okay, I’m here…” he hugged me tightly and I did the same.

My heart is beating fast…

I admit that I’m feeling scared…

She’s gone.

Her pains finally ended.

She doesn’t have to suffer anymore.

She said it’s okay.

But for me, it’s not.

She should’ve continued her life.

Though, she looked like she’s really tired.

And I want to make her tiredness disappear.

Now, she’s resting…

” Kei.” Someone patted my shoulder and my eyes looked up at Kayden.

He’s wearing shades, just like me. But I know that he’s struggling more than I am.

His wife died…

After only seeing her again these past few weeks.

” Papa.” Brylle separated from me and went to Kayden.

Brylle definitely remembers Kayden, because he’s the one Brylle’s always with before he was abandoned.

But we all know that Kayden’s not his real father.

It’s Gaius…

I stood up and walked away from the grave. I let Kayden talk to Brylle and the grave of Aedin.

Aedin Fuentes

A week after coming back from Arkaine Estate, her condition worsen up to the point that she gave up…

She was so happy when she saw Kayden and it’s like they are a happy family again.

But then she confessed that Brylle’s father is not my brother but Gaius is…

I was not awake when she told everyone about that.

I lose consciousness for about three days.

My brother had a bad day but still decided to visit my room.

I woke up that time and I can’t explain what I was feeling. I am in no right mind as I suddenly got angry at Kayden that time.

—Flashback-

I heard someone opened the door…

And it slumped against the sofa.

I decided to open my eyes and Kayden and I looked at each other.

He’s really alive.

He gave me a slight smile.

” Hey” I don’t know why but I felt a surge of energy and anger rushed through my body.

I’m not in myself when I got down the bed and raised him by the collar of his top.

That’s when I realized that I can only use my one hand at the moment. My left hand is inside an arm sling.

” You said that she’s coming back! Where is she?! You liar!” I shouted.

I want to stop. My body’s aching from head to toe.

I know that he has no fault for what happened but I can’t stop.

” Where is she?! You said she’ll come back!” We both looked at each other with deathly glares.

I noticed how deep his eyebags are.

” I don’t know what will happen! Should I know all that would happen in the future?! F*ck! I wish I had that kind of power! To know if someones hiding something from you, to know what will happen in the future so that I can plan ahead of what I should do. We both didn’t expect what happened Kei! You and I are both clueless!” I froze at what he said.

I’m not sure if he’s talking about what happened to Nass. It seems like he’s talking about something else.

For the first time in my life, I saw him cry…From NôvelDrama.Org.

He never ever shows his weakness to me. He wanted to be a role model for his younger brother..

A strong and reliable man.

That’s why if he’s feeling strong emotions, he will just smile or get angry…

” Kuya…”

Ah, sh8t. Why did I say that?

Even though he’s crying, he smirked in my direction.

” For the first time! Finally, you called me Kuya!”

I sat down at the top of the backrest of the sofa.

” Well, I’ll consider it this time, it’s your first time crying in front of me.” His smirk disappeared and his expression went to serious.

” Sorry. I…”

” It’s alright. I understand why you reacted that way,” he returned his hands on his sides then mindlessly stared at the floor.

” So what happened?” He glanced at me.

” I’m not Brylle’s real father.”

—End

I was pretty shocked that time.

I didn’t think Aedin would ever cheat on my brother…

I had to ask her myself.

She regretted doing that to Kayden but I let the two of them fix their own problem.

She’s a great woman. All of us loved her.

—Another Flashback-

” Kei…” I looked at Aedin. She’s losing even more weight and becoming more and more tired.

” Yes?” I approached her and held her hands.

” I’m sorry I kissed you that time. Nassandra even saw us.” I sadly smiled at her.

” It’s okay, Aedin. It’s my fault too.” She squeezed my hand and stared at my eyes.

” You love her, right?” I bowed down my head and can’t answer the simple question.

I can’t… She’s gone. And I can’t get that thought out of my head.

” I-I miss her so much. It’s all my fault,” yes. I feel like this is my fault.

If I hadn’t treated her badly, she might still be here, holding my hands, with me.

I always say sorry to her but then repeatedly doing mistakes.

” Kei. Don’t blame yourself. I know that it’s her own decision and she’s just thinking of your safety.”

” That’s why it’s entirely my fault!” She reached for my cheeks weakly.

” We both know it’s not. Stop torturing yourself, okay?” I heaved out a sigh and nodded.

Not completely approving.

” You will open the red box I gave to you when my time comes.” I touched her hands on my cheeks.

” Aedin. Don’t say that. You can still fight. I know that your life is still long,” she let out a humorless laughter.

” Oh please, Kei—”

” Hey, if you want me not to think I’m not at fault with what happened at Nass then don’t think you’re dying. That’s unfair.” I said in a serious tone.

” Okay, Kei. I will try…”

” Keiranz.” I looked in the direction of the door where I saw Kayden.

” Can I… talk to her?” I gave him a small smile.
