Maid for the Mafia Boss

“You knew what happened to Nassandra yet you didn’t do anything about it?!” I winced as Diego punched Tito Elias once again which made him fall down on the floor with his nose and mouth bleeding.

His face is already swelling with all the punches he received.

I actually feel bad for him.

So before Diego could throw him another punch, I already pulled him away from our uncle.

“That’s enough, Diego. I’m okay. I am right here with you. So please, stay calm.” He stared at me for a second. His expression slowly softened.

He held my cheeks as if he was in pain just by looking at me.

Then he runs out of the house to which I just let him be.

I looked at Tito Elias.

“Wow. That look suits you.” He shots me a glare.

“Thanks.” He sarcastically replied.

With his left leg up, he rests his left arm on it then looks back at me.

“I’m so sorry, Pat. I mean, Nass. For everything.” I see guilt in his eyes. I rolled my eyes at his statement.

“Wait a second. I’ll just grab my cellphone and record your apology.” He made a grimaced face.

Yeah. I hate him…

“You b*tch.” I can’t contain my laughter anymore and I almost stopped as he also laughed along with me. As in, he is really happily laughing. Not like a demonic laugh or something.

“Okay. The last time I saw you, you weren’t like this. Are you high? You might’ve been using too many drugs.” He narrowed his eyes at me.

“Firstly, I don’t take drugs. Secondly, I got to see my family last week but my father decided to kill them.” My mouth gaped upon hearing what he just told.

“You have a family?”

“Yeah. They’re on the other side of this country but Dad still managed to find them.”

His eyes flickered to me.

“Now, I know what you’re feeling when you lost your family. I’m such a jerk, Nass. I want to say sorry for that.” My face turned serious.

“You know that I can’t forgive you that easily, but I’m giving you a chance here. So don’t let me take it from you.” I am so close to getting my phone and take a picture of Tito Elias smiling from ear to ear.

“Okay, Nass… Thank you.” I narrowed my eyes.

He surely did change a lot…

“Once Keiranz arrive here, act the way you should. That’s your plan when you came here, right?” I raised my eyebrow at him.

“What?” He just smirks at me in response.

Later on, I heard someone shouting.

“Let me go! Where is Nassandra?!” I stopped as I heard Keian’s voice. And he’s also getting closer to the house.

I turned to Tito Elias who laughed as if he transformed back to the way he was before.

“I told you, she’s inside.” I bit my lip and turned around to look at the door.

They know my purpose in coming here?

But…

My eyes widened as the door opened and saw Keian with a wound on his shoulder as if a bullet grazed him. Diego was right behind him who also returned to his cold expression.

Keian looks at me.

“Nass! Are you okay?” Despite being confused at everything, I nodded.

“Why did you text me, Nass? What are you doing here with these bastards?!” I observed Keian and saw he was just wearing plain old jeans and a plain t-shirt. Totally different from how I always see him wearing a suit.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

They used my number to text Keian and make him come here?!

What on earth are they planning to do?!!!

I felt Tito Elias getting up from the floor and went behind me then held both of my shoulders firmly.

I saw Keian’s jaw tightens at how Tito is so close to me.

“Come on, Nass. Act.” My eyes went to Diego who simply nods his head at me.

I didn’t expect any of this.

Yes. I planned to pretend to be a traitor to Keian and also pretend that I’m siding with Diego. But then I discovered that they’re just leashed under Lolo’s finger.

This is what I planned but feels like I’m not ready to execute it for now.

“Nass?” I returned my gaze back to Keian whose face was filled with confusion.

I heaved out a sigh and made my face expressionless.

“Isn’t it obvious, Kei? It’s a bait. You’re always biting whenever Diego and I make a plan.” He was surprised at what I just announced. Even I was shocked as to where my cold voice came from.

“What are you saying…?” I smirked at him.

This is just the beginning yet I already wanted to stop…

“What I’m saying is, everything you suspected me with is true. I’m the one giving information to Il Massimo Impero. You can’t say that I’m the traitor since I was never on your side from the very beginning.”

Shit.

I suddenly wanted to cry after seeing the reaction on Keian’s face.

As if he was filled with extreme sadness, then went to frustration, and went back to his casual cold expression.

“So, what are you going to do with me now?”

“Oh you’re—” Diego was about to answer him but he suddenly lets out a dagger out of nowhere and threw it in my direction.

I almost couldn’t breathe after realizing what is happening.

I thought the dagger was going aimed at me but it only ended up grazing my cheek and went directly at Tito Elias who was right behind me all this time.

“Ahhh!”

“Nass!” Keian took this opportunity to grab Deigo’s gun and quickly pointed it at him.

I sat on the floor because of the thought that I had almost been hit by Keian’s knife.

“I may be fooled. But I’m not dumb. I shouldn’t have let you go, Nass.” Mine and Keian’s eyes both met each other in unison.

“What should I do with your friend, Nassandra? The one behind you couldn’t use his right hand anymore.”

“F— you!” I turned to Tito Elias whose hand was stuck to the wall using the dagger.

“Oh!” I returned my eyes to Keian and saw that he stabbed Diego right on his abdomen.

“Diego!”

“I want to kill him but I’ll torture him first. For all those innocent people he killed.” Anger flashed in his eyes and once again he stabbed Diego.

“Keian! Wait.” The latter just stared at me as he repeatedly stabbed the man in his arms.

“N-Nass.” Blood was already dripping down from his mouth. I immediately stood up.

“No Keian, stop!” He was about to stab Diego once more till I shouted.

“He’s your brother!” After hearing that, he ultimately lets go of the weapon he’s holding.

“WHAT?!” I was about to answer him but Diego quickly hits him on the neck which caused him knocked down on the ground.

I went closer to Diego and tried making his wounds stop bleeding.

It’s deep…

I was already shaking with nervousness and fear that Diego might die and also because of telling Keian that he has another sibling.

“That bastard! He broke my hand!” I turned back at Tito Elias with a glare.

“Call some help! Diego might run out of blood real soon!” He madly looks at me.

“If you want to keep him alive, we have to go where Maximo is. We can’t just go to other hospitals. We might get caught and our plan would be ruined!” I bit my lip as I am already running out of options to do.

I don’t want to see Lolo! Maybe… that thing that happened to me in the past will repeat itself.

Tito Elias thought of what he just said and chose to shut up.

I sighed.

“Fine.”

“Are you sure?” I look at him with a determined look.

Hopefully, I wouldn’t see Lolo as soon as possible.

—–

Arghhhh!

This is so irritating!

I just mentioned earlier that I didn’t want to see Lolo. But as the men from Il Massimo Impero arrived to treat Diego and imprison Keian, we are now walking towards Lolo’s room.

I was not very familiar with the house we came in.

I didn’t know what happened to the mansion where we used to live but I could only guess that this house is a safe house owned by Lolo.

“Hi, Miss Pat. Long time no see.” I narrowed my eyes at one of the men that are with us right now.

I remembered he’s one of Lolo’s loyal men who’s been working for him for a long time which his attitude was as ugly as the boss himself.

Oops. That was a bit harsh.

I didn’t bother entertaining the man so I chose to keep silent.

Aside from the fact that I’m irritated, there was a crawling feeling inside of me that just gets worse in every step I took, getting closer to the door of the room.

I also noticed Tito Elias stayed quiet.

We entered inside a room and I immediately saw an old man sitting on the bed with a blanket wrapped around the lower part of his body and beside him was a man with a pretty good body build.

Fear immediately ran through my system as I saw Lolo’s face.

It’s real. He is alive!

My knees got weak and suddenly I felt exhausted but I forced myself to stand up on my ground.

“Pat. My granddaughter.” I started trembling as I heard his voice.

“You’re still pretty as ever. It looks like your body became more mature.” I wanted to scream right in front of his face but it was as if I had lost my voice.

“I didn’t expect you to change sides, Pat. WHAT’S YOUR PLAN?” I closed my eyes and mentally told myself to calm down.

Whatever happens, I won’t respond to him.

“Oh? We’re in silent treatment terms? How unfortunate.” I lowered my head so he wouldn’t see the expression on my face at the moment.

It looks like I had just seen a ghost.

Well, all I thought, Lolo was dead. But here he is right in front of my very eyes, alive and kicking.

Lolo gestured something at the man beside him and I saw it walked closer to me.

He harshly held my arm and pulled me towards Lolo’s bed.

That’s where I noticed the I. V. being attached to him.

As I got closer to Lolo, he immediately pulls my hair from the back of my head.

I avoided eye contact with him.

“You thought you’ve run away?!” He held my jaw and made me face him.

Looking through his eyes, EVERYTHING that he’s done to me came rushing back to my memory.

“You can’t run away from me, Pat. And now you’re here. I guess you missed me so much that’s why you left that Marques’ lair!” I am still not speaking as I bravely looked at him.

Even though there were tears flowing down from my eyes…

“Oh, Pat. You know that I won’t hurt you. We had fun 4 years ago. Why don’t we do it again.” This made me want to cover my ears in annoyance. Just so I wouldn’t hear everything he’s saying.

I wanted to run so his face would completely get out of my sight.

“Sir,” Called Lolo’s personal man.

Lolo’s heart rate quickens and I could feel his grip on me getting lighter every second.

He lets me go which made me sit on the floor.

The men carried me away from Lolo who’s now having difficulty breathing.

“See you, Pat. Don’t run, you are surrounded.”

They dragged me out of the room while Tito Elias was being left inside.

They let me go once we were out of the room.

“Wow. What a show.” I looked at the man whom as far as I can remember, his name is Tim.

I angrily pushed him against the wall and held his neck real tight to choke him.

“Ack!” The other men were about to come over to me but Tim gestured for them to stop.

“Stop.” He looks at me.

“Oh, are you panicking, Pat?” I squeezed his neck even more.

All of the emotions that I felt earlier were directly focused on him.

I can feel that his lungs are not receiving enough oxygen and we both know it.

“You should be the one panicking.” As I said those words, the panic was literally seen in his eyes now.

“Where’s Diego?”

“H-He’s at the 3rd floor, the fourth room from the stairs.”

As soon as his eyes are about to close on their own, that’s where I decided to let him go.

Walking away from them, another man was about to come to touch me but I immediately pointed Tim’s gun at them.

“Don’t follow me. We all know that I can kill you all within seconds.” They all looked at each then took a step back.

Since we all knew that I couldn’t run away from this place anymore.

The security in this place is totally far from an exaggeration. Much worse than those at Keian’s.

And besides, I needed to execute my plan…

I clenched my fists while marching my way to the room where Diego is.

I went inside and saw the man was walking around in circles back and forth as if he wasn’t stabbed three times.

He turns to me.

“Nass!” He was about to come over and hug me but his wound prevented him to do so I assisted him back to his bed.

“You should stay in bed.” I sat on the sofa beside the bed.

“I can’t stay still. Because of me, you were already brought here early.” I looked at him with no emotion.

“Don’t blame yourself. I would end up coming back here whatever we do. What’s wrong with getting here early?” He furrowed his eyebrows at me.

“What did he do to you?” He angrily asked.

“Nothing. He just dug up some memories.” He looks at me sternly before letting out a sigh.

“Well, I have to warn you. Your life here will gonna be hell.”

“It already is.”
