Maid for the Mafia Boss

“Brylle is now discharged. You may go home now.” I flashed a smile at the doctor.

“Thank you so much.” I looked down at Brylle who doesn’t have the I. V. or anymore needles on his body. As soon as the doctor left, Tiya entered the room with a gloomy face.

I noticed that she’s holding something and she gives it to me.

“Discharge paper and hospital bills.” I felt sick upon seeing the countless medicines and equipments used that are being noted on the bills. It’s two pages and at the end of it was a huge red-marked 72, 567. My eyes widened, Zeke was right!

“Where are you going to get all that money, Nassandra? How much did you save? You should get the money from me.” I calmed myself down before turning to Tiya.

“It won’t be necessary.” She was taken aback at what I just said.

“Why? Do you already have that amount?” I sighed.

“I accepted Zeke’s help.” She seemed joyful at the information I lend so she went closer to me.

“Really?” I nodded as I sat on Brylle’s bed. I touched his cheek.

“Why did you agree?” She asked.

“In exchange for his help, he’ll deduct my salary as a maid for them.” I looked at Auntie whose eyes are widened.

“You also applied for a job?” I nodded once again. I reached out for my phone and dialled a number.

“Hey Nassandra, something wrong?” Ironic, I can feel him smirking as we’re talking.

“He’s getting discharged.” I rolled my eyes upon hearing Zeke’s laughter. We exchanged numbers yesterday since he told me to call him once Brylle is getting discharged.

“Okay, I’ll go there, babe.”

“Don’t you dare call me—” My statement was cut short when he immediately hung up the call. My grip on my phone tightened.

“So you’re going to leave Brylle.” Auntie stated, our eyes met.

“Is it alright if I leave him to you?” I thought about this thoroughly all day yesterday and realized I couldn’t bring him to work. Auntie thought for a second.

“Fine, I know who can take care of him when I’m at work.” I went to Auntie and hugged her.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Thank you so much, and sorry if I was such a snob.” She laughed.

“Haha! That’s fine, I’m already used to you.” We both laughed together and started packing up our things.

Later when I get home, I needed to pack my stuff since tomorrow will be my first day at work.

“Good morning!” I looked at Mr. Arrogant who’s currently with William. Tiya stood up and walked towards Zeke.

“Good morning to you, too, sir. I wanted to express my deepest gratitude.” Auntie held his hand which Zeke gladly returned the touch.

“You’re very welcome. It’s heartbreaking to see a child like Brylle in a hard condition so I had to take actions.” I rolled my eyes at his statement. Brylle nudges at me as he’s confused on who the man was.

Zeke comes near me with a triumphant smile on his face.

“Brylle, he’s your Tito Zeke. He’s the one who helped you get better.” Brylle’s head slanted as if he’s observing Zeke then suddenly jumped on his back. Zeke immediately held the child to prevent him from falling.

“Brylle!” I shouted in surprise. He just got recovered from his illness and now he’s suddenly jumping out of nowhere. The kid sure has a lot of energy.

“Thank you!” He adoringly said and held on Zeke’s hair.

“Wow, strong grip. By the way, you’re welcome, petit garçon.” I rolled my eyes as I heard him speak French. Brylle laughed as he continued to mess up Zeke’s hair. Yeah, that’s right baby, keep on doing that.

“Where are the discharge papers?” I handed Zeke the papers and once he saw the total amount, he winked at me. Argghhh.

“Nassandra, please come with me.” Tiya gestures for me to come. I stood up and walked along with Zeke towards the hospital’s cashier.

“I’ll fetch you at your house later.” I gaped at him.

“What?” I blurted out. Wait, I think I know what’ll be his response to that.

“You don’t know English? I said I’m going to—-”

“I know how to speak English, idiot.” He laughed.

“I’ll be the one to take you to Kei’s house.” I furrowed my eyebrows. Who is Kei?

“Whatever.” I blatantly threw. At least my fare is free.

As the cashier saw Zeke, she froze on her spot with a shocked expression.

“Is there a problem?” He asked with a smirk. It was as if the cashier saw a ghost or something.

“N-No, sir.” She nodded at me.

“Her child’s bills will be already paid.” He stated which got me surprised. They just asked me to fill up a form and that was it.

“Wait, aren’t you going to give out money? Or maybe a check at least?” He just laughed.

“The money of this hospital goes directly to me so no need for that.” I rolled my eyes at him and shook my head. He’s definitely so full of himself.

As we got back to the room, we saw Auntie and William playing with Brylle.

I went to the child and carried him around.

“Ahahahaha! Mama!” I cuddled him.

“We are going home, Brylle.” The child giggled.

“Yey!”

He’s so cute!

Back to the room where Brylle and I used to sleep together, I started to pack up some stuff to bring.

“Mama! Let’s play!” I smiled at Brylle and let him sit on my lap. I held his cheek. Zeke is going to be here any minute.

“Hey Brylle?” He flashed a smile at me and lets go of the toy he’s holding.

“Yes?” I touched his nose playfully.

“Baby, look. I’m not going to be with you for many days. Mama needs to work.” He frowned.

“I know.” I let out a bitter smile.

“And I need you to behave, okay? I’ll visit when I can. Just please don’t give your grandma a headache.” He lowered his head to which I held it up.

“Brylle,” My heart broke at the sight of a tear falling from his eye.

“Do you really have to leave? Then I’m going to be alone again.” I heaved out a sigh. This kid is smart.

“You’re not alone, Brylle. I’ll be back soon, grandma is with you.” I wiped his wet cheeks.

“I’ll always be in your heart, right?” He smiled and cheerfully nodded.

“Always!” He envelopes me into a hug.

“I promise I’ll visit you.” He held both of my cheeks.

“I know, mama. You are doing this for me.” This brought me tears in my eyes so I pecked a kiss on his cheek.

“Good afternoon, Ms. Anne.” I heard Zeke’s voice from outside the room. I raised an eyebrow at Brylle to which he responds my kissing me on the cheek and running towards Zeke.

“Tito Zekeeee!” I laughed as I heard someone crash on the ground due to Brylle’s greeting. I immediately grabbed my bag and left the room. When he saw me, he stood up properly and smirked.

“Let’s go, Nassandra. Kei’s house is a little bit far.” I rolled my eyes before nodding. I went closer to Tiya as she held both of my hands.

“I’ll leave Brylle in your hands.” She nodded and expressed her farewell. I also bid my goodbye to Brylle who looks like he wants to join me, as well.

Zeke walked towards a sports car that’s obviously catching a lot of attention. Everyone in the streets are probably curious about who’s the owner of such car.

“Do you like my ride?” His smirk is still there which makes me badly want to wipe out that smirk from his face.

“No, it’s too eye-catching.” He just laughed and opened the door for me. I had no choice but to ride at such a sports car.

He starts the engine and drove in a very fast pace. This made me hold on tight at the car’s door as if my life depended on it.

“YOU KNOW THERE IS A SPEED LIMIT, RIGHT!?” I reminded to which he just laughed at while driving the car even faster.

“Shete!” I looked intently at the road we’re currently on in case he might bump into something. I rolled my eyes as he continued to laugh like the devil he is.

As soon as we’re already far from home, he now drove slowly as we reached a dense environment surrounded by trees.

“Oh my gosh, whew!” Zeke smirked. I removed my grip on the car door in relief.

“Do you want to do it again?” This made my hands snake directly on the door again while I gave him a death glare.

“Don’t you dare! You almost hit someone!” He laughed once again.

“I won’t let that happen. I’m a great race car driver.” I waved my hands in the air to nod off the words he just said.

The surrounding became eerie and I noticed it’s almost getting dark. A few moments later, Zeke spoke.

“Hey,” I turned to him and raised a brow.

“So there are a few rules in his house.” I rolled my eyes.

“Oh yeah?” Why do I feel like we’re in a forest?

“So first, if you find or see anything suspicious, don’t call the police.” I gave him an amused look and smirked.

“Why? Am I going to witness a massacre there or something?” I joked. My smile disappeared as I realized his face is serious. So there’s a horror in the place I’m going to work in?

“I’m serious, Nass. And don’t talk to me that way once we get there. You will be just a maid. You can’t meddle in some happenings there. You will not interfere any businesses of ours and you’ll just follow orders.” I gave him a sarcastic look. So what will I be? A slave? If it’s for 35, 000 then fine, sure. It’s for Brylle, anyway. I rolled my eyes.

“Yes, sir.” He glared at me.

“I’m really serious.” I gave him a thumbs-up and kept silence.

“Are you kidding me?!” He irritatedly said. I gave him a look.

“I heard everything you said, Zeke and I’ll follow them once we get there. I’m not a fool. Just a maid, right? And I don’t care whatever you do. All I needed from you guys is a job.” He stopped for a moment but ultimately covers it up with a smirk.

“You have no respect for me, maid.” I rolled my eyes at him again.

“We’re not yet at the house, stop that.” He laughed once again as we continued to walk.

At the end of the streets full of trees, you’ll find a clearing.

After that, you’ll see a high, mighty gate that almost served as a wall to the huge yard and mansion.

This property is so big!
