Maid for the Mafia Boss

Kei stopped the car in front of the mansion’s main door and quickly burst out of the vehicle, then barged inside the house.

He was greeted upon entering by all of his friends standing there and waiting for him.

Katie, who just got home from Korea, has also arrived.

All of them are wearing serious looks on their faces.

There were also men standing by the corner, lowering their heads.

“Kei,” Zeke called.

“Maître,” Keian turned to Felix, who walked towards him.

“What happened?” It was undeniable in Keian’s voice that he’s trying to suppress his anger. His fists are clenched in rage, and he looked like he wants to kill someone out of pure anger.

“It was 2 AM when Miss Nass went out of her room in the infirmary. He saw her and told her not to leave.” Felix gestured towards a young guard with his gaze lowered to the floor due to fear and nervousness.

“But Miss Nass told him that she just wanted to take a bath in your room, so he accompanied her there.”

Felix told him everything that’s happened based on the information he collected.

“The guards were shot with a tranquilizer gun, and that’s why they didn’t notice Nathan already escaped, with Nassandra.” Keian’s face darkened even more upon hearing Zeke’s statement.

“Here’s the CCTV footage of Miss Nass escaping along with Nathan.” With another man holding a laptop, Keian watched the video.

Kei clearly saw how Nassandra grabbed the keys from the table of the sleeping guards and how she helped Nathan get out from his cell.

The video isn’t finished yet he couldn’t help but hit the laptop till it fell to pieces on the floor.

The whole mansion fell silent.

Keian grabbed the gun from his waist belt and directly pointed it out to Felix.

“Where is she?” He asked in a cold voice.

Felix’s eyes widened with the fear of dying on the spot.

“Keiranz,” Zeke called him pointedly. The latter ignored him and just went on preparing his gun.

“WHERE IS SHE?!”

“I-I don’t know, Maître.”

“F*CK!” Kei threw the gun on the floor furiously.

“Find her! Do everything you have to do!” Kei’s men immediately made their move, fearing that their master would pour out all of his frustrations on them.

The nine main members stayed inside the mansion to which Kei pointedly looked at.

“What are you waiting for?” He asked them with emphasis. The nine members stood up straight.

“Yes, Maître.” Everyone went out and headed towards the headquarters to do their respective jobs.

Zeke took a step towards Keian and held him both on the shoulders.

“Control yourself, Kei.” He doesn’t look at him as he answered.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“I know.” Zeke lets out a sigh before leaving.

Keian ran his fingers through his hair then went up to his room.

All of Nassandra’s belongings were there, even her clothes.

He suddenly remembered everything that Felix told him and madly grabbed all of Nassandra’s things, then threw them all on the floor in one specific spot.

Maybe he’ll burn them. Or throw them in the trash.

That’s what Keian was thinking.

He loves Nassandra. However, with no proof, he still believed what Diego said.

Because he indeed saw a girl when he saw her mother died.

He didn’t pay much attention to the girl that time because his mother was his priority.

Keian messed up all of the stuff in the room. Breaking everything he could break, even windows.

After that, he sat on the floor and leaned his back on the wall. With his hands and arms bleeding.

But he didn’t care.

He held his head and ran his fingers at the back of his hair.

He’s not some ruthless and heartless person.

So don’t judge him for crying…

Everything that happened in the past suddenly came back to him. Add up the thought that someone very important to him just ran away with his enemy.

He didn’t know what happened, but he just couldn’t stop believing what Diego said earlier.

He gritted his teeth to keep his cries silent.

He is overwhelmed right now. Different emotions resurface, and for once, he didn’t know what to do.

He just wanted to lock himself in that room and shut the world out for a while.

But he can’t do that. Because he has a responsibility. As a mafia boss.

And their enemy has an advantage against him. So he has to know what to do.

He can’t risk making this mafia fall. And his family to die…

So he stood up.

Wiping away the tears from his wet face.

And went of the room wearing a cold expression as he headed towards the headquarters.

Nassandra’s POV

“Eat, Pat.” I glared at Tito Elias. A deathly one.

“I’m not hungry,” I stated to him with emphasis.

It’s already around four in the morning, and they’re having breakfast. Nathan was just eating silently in front of me.

“I said eat. You’ll need the energy later.” I ignored his words and focused my eyes on the ground.

My hands are already untied, and I have nowhere to escape to.

Grrrrr

My eyebrows furrowed.

Stupid stomach getting hungry early in the morning. Probably because I didn’t eat anything last night.

My uncle laughed.

“Just eat, Nassandra. Just lower your pride down for once.” I glared at him once again and looked at the food.

They could’ve put some poison here, right?

I looked at Tito once again before reaching out the spoon and fork to eat.

“You know, the food has poison.” I choked at Tito’s words. He laughed loudly.

As I drank water, I rolled my eyes at him.

“Jerk.”

“Yeah, yeah, I know.” I continued eating while still narrowing my eyes at my uncle due to the words he was saying.

As we are done eating, Nathan voluntarily gathered the plates and brought them to the dirty kitchen in the house. I looked at him, emotionlessly washing the dishes.

“So how did you know where to cross when Nathan couldn’t even remember the right path to go to?” I answered him without looking at him in the eye.

“It’s easy for you to change a gun’s interface and preferences, you’re used to it. And modifying benzos are also your thing. The question is how you learned about their original system.” My last question was the very thing swimming inside my head, and I don’t expect my suspicions to be exact.

But he smirked at me.

“Maybe you’ll know that someday.” My mouth gaped.

My suspicions are correct! They have an ally inside the Marques Manufacturing who gives out information to this man!

He raises a brow at me before his expression darkened.

“I’m done joking around with you, Pat.” He pulled out a dagger and pointed it at my neck.

I can feel blood dripping out of my wound.

I shot him the same expression.

“Tell the Marques to come over here. We’re going to have a little fun.”

“No.” I quickly replied. His expression went back to being playful.

“Then I’ll just have to get your son. Maybe that’ll help you convince yourself to make Keiranz go here.” My eyes widened at what he said.

“Don’t you dare pull Brylle into this!” I shouted at him.

“What’s with that child that you thought of adopting him? You know, you can have as many children as you wanted when you were still in Impero.” My anger flared as I grabbed the dagger in his hand and pointed it at his neck.

“You disgust me! I will never dream about making children in that place! Don’t you ever hurt Brylle, or I’ll kill you!” He laughed even though my hands were already around his neck, choking him in the process.

“Ohhh. Poor you, too bad my men are waiting for my signal outside your old lady’s house.” I suddenly felt weak at what I just heard.

No…

“You have to choose, Nass. Make Marques come here, or I will come to your son.” I clenched my fists so tight.

“F— you!” I let him go and distanced myself away from him.

“So, shall I tell—” I grabbed my phone in my pocket and started looking for Keian’s contact.

“Opss. My bad, let me rephrase. You will not make them go here…”

After Nathan drove me to a secluded place next to a cliff, we both hopped out and went to a clear field.

Tito Elias made us come here since he didn’t want Kei’s men to know where his house is.

That’s why he made Nathan accompany me.

I shakily held my cellphone and called Keian.

After about five rings, he picked up.

“Where the f— are you?!” He angrily asked. My chest tightens as I heard his voice. All because of guilt and sadness.

“I-I don’t know, can you—”

“I didn’t know you were the traitor. Nathan is just your puppet.” He coldly stated.

I stopped.

They must’ve seen the security cameras.

And now, they’re treating me as the traitor.

“No, Keian, just please trace the phone,” I said to him exhaustingly.

“Why would I believe you, you liar.” I heaved out a sigh.

Scared that Tito Elias’ men would barge into Tiya Anne’s house anytime.

“Please, Keiranz. Just track the phone, and you’ll find me. Go here, Kei. Go here.” I told.

Tito Elias wants me to bring them here.

He doesn’t want them dead, but he’s got other plans in his sleeve that will make it more entertaining for him.

There was silence at the other line before he hung up.

I’m not sure, but there’s a feeling inside me telling me that he’ll come here.

I anxiously waited for them to arrive.

“Nass.” I looked at Nathan, who’s got his head lowered.

Then he looks up at me.

“I’m sorry for everything. I’m sorry that I brought you here.” I was confused at his sudden apology.

“I’m sorry, Nass.” He started crying.

I walked to him without any hesitation, but he quickly takes a step back from me.

“Don’t come closer!” He shouted.

“It’s okay, Nathan. I’m not going to hurt you.” I reassured him.

He shook his head.

“But I might hurt you. You see, Nass. They’re controlling me. I didn’t know what to do anymore. I Just wanted to be with Ema and Jane. I didn’t expect this would come to a point where I had to follow everything they say. I’m so sorry, Nass.”

“It’s not your fault, Nathan. Like you said, they’re controlling you. But you don’t have to be controlled all the time. You can run. That’s why I set you free in the first place.” I told him. His eyebrows creased in question, and I saw a tear rolling down from his eye.

He pulls me in a hug.

“But I can’t run anymore. I have already done so much.” I hugged him back, not thinking that he might shoot the gun at me anytime.

“Don’t tell me—”

“Please take care of Ema and Jane. They’re innocent, please.” I nodded at him. His grip on me was so tight as if he’d be gone anytime soon.

“I-I’ll make sure nothing bad happens to them.” I heard him taking a deep breath, and he closed his eyes shut.

“Thank you for everything, Nass.”

I suddenly felt heavy inside.

It’s not his choice to be involved in any of this. It wasn’t his fault, but he’s taking the blame. And it’s sad that they’re making Nathan this way.

I heard cars coming by. Nathan prepared the gun in his hand.

“Whatever happens, please kill me tonight, Nassandra.” He stated as he turned around me to face the direction of the cars and pointed the gun at my temple.

I saw Keian, Zeke, Devon, and Laiza coming out of their own vehicle along with the other members.

There was a cold expression on Keian’s face while he looks at me with a straight mouth.

Wait… what did Nathan just say?
