Maid for the Mafia Boss

“So, what do you want to ask?”

“Uhmmmm, welll, uhmmm…” Staring right into my eyes, he waited for me to talk. I took a deep breath.

“Can I have another day off tomorrow? I have something important to do.” As I said those words, his eyebrows ultimately met.

“What is it?” I stilled at his question. I’m not yet ready to tell him about Brylle. He might think I have a boyfriend or a husband. I quickly thought of a reason.

“I mean uh-it’s my Aunt’s birthday. She’s the one who took care of me ever since…” I lowered my gaze and clenched my fists upon remembering my family.

His gaze softened as he lifted my chin.

“But Nassandra, you already had a lot of day offs this month. The other maids may think it’s unfair. You know you are still working here.” I lowered my head at his words. I know that, I’m just trying to make sure.

“Why don’t you just bring her here? I’ll ask Felix to pick her up. I can make a celebration for her.” My eyes widened.

“What? No! You don’t have to throw a party for her, it’s not necessary.” He raised a brow at me while playing with my hair.

“Okay, but you can’t leave.” He sternly said and made me think. I suddenly thought of showing Brylle around here. Keian’s property is nice. Somehow resembles a foreign home. And maybe we can go swimming at their pool.

“But, I can bring them here, right?” Nothing bad will happen if I bring Brylle here, well except for the fact that he will be surrounded by mafia men. But I’m sure they won’t do anything that will harm my son.

“Hmm, of course.” He reached for his phone and faced it to me.

“Shall I call Felix?” I smiled as I shook my head and stood up from his lap.

“I’ll just tell Zeke. He knows her very well.” I turned my back to him and started walking to the door but Keian suddenly carried me and placed me on the bed.

“Hey! I’m going to sleep.” I complained. My eyes widened as he took his shirt off.

“H-Hey! What are you doing?” He smirked at my direction and pushed me over to the bed. My heart started racing so fast. Oh geez, forgive me if I will sin. This guy is just too attractive… and smelled good.

“Relax, I’m not going to do that thing to you.” I sighed a relief at his words.

“Yet.” Wait, what did he say?

“W-Wait, what— wahhh!” He suddenly pinned me over but not to the point of squishing me. He held me by the waist and closed his eyes as he smiles.

“Let’s sleep.” My eyebrows creased at what he said.

“Yeah, I’ll sleep. At the maid’s quarters.” I said with emphasis but he doesn’t get affected. I tried pushing him away but I can’t seem to move him. Wow, he’s so strong.

“Stop sleeping there. You should sleep here from now on. By my side.” His statement got me even more flustered. What the heck! Maybe he just wants me to sleep here forever, joke. Okay back to being serious.

“One,” He opens one eye and tightened his hold on me.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Do I look like a child to you?” I can’t help but smile at what he said.

“Keain!” He ignores me and kept silent. Hey!

Basically I had no choice but to hug him back. In fairness, he’s comfortable to cuddle with.

He loosens his grip on me so I made myself comfortable, laying down.

“Goodnight—” I gazed at Keian’s face that is so close. I feel our lips in front of each other.

His lips moved while I stayed staring into his eyes. Eh? What just happened?

“Hmmph,” I moaned as I felt him biting my lower lip and lets go.

I looked into his cold eyes. Sadist.

“Good night.” He turns the lampshade off by his side so it got dark in the room. It’s a good thing so he wouldn’t see my face all flustered. If that’s going to be the case whenever Kei is going to let me sleep here, I literally can’t take it! Huhu. I just can’t!

I calmed myself down as I let myself fall into deep slumber. Later, I find myself holding to his hand while closing my eyes.

“Sh8t.” I woke up to the noise that was coming from the bathroom. I sleepily opened my eyes and looked around. Kei wasn’t in the bed anymore and it proves when he got out of his bathroom.

He wore a polo and some shoes. I glanced at the clock.

“Kei? Where are you going? It’s two in the morning.” He looks at me and that’s where I noticed his dark expression.

“I need to do some business. Uhmm, my friend needs me.” He grabbed a body bag and went to the bed.

“I will be gone the whole day. Go enjoy with your tita today and go back to sleep.” He held both of my cheeks and planted a kiss on my forehead. Despite the confusion, I just nodded at him.

“Take care.” Was all I got to say. Before leaving the room, he takes another glance at me and smiled.

“I love you.” Before I could even think properly, he shuts the door.

Did I hear him right? Did he just said those three words correctly?

I furrowed my eyebrows and laid down sideways. I’ll think about that later, I’ll just sleep.

“Mama!” I smiled as I walked towards Zeke’s car and opened the door for Brylle to come out.

“Hi, baby. How are you? Happy Birthday!” He envelopes me into a tight hug and kissed my cheeks.

“I’m fine. Tito Zeke sped up the car like whoooshh!” He even raised his hands up in the air as if he was in roller coaster. My smile faded as I turned to Zeke with a glare.

“What? He wants fast. Don’t you, Brylle?” The child happily nodded at him. That damn Zeke.

“Is something wrong, mama?” I returned my gaze back to Brylle and playfully pinched his nose.

“Nothing, baby. I’m just going to do some happy things with your Tito Zeke.” His head turned sideways at what I just said. Zeke immediately distanced himself from me.

“Nass-”

“Ahh! What a cute little child. Nassandra, is that Brylle?” I turned my head to Jane, Ema, and Nathan who just got out of the mansion. I already told them about Brylle so they weren’t surprised to see him here.

I smiled at Jane and let her carry Brylle.

“Son, you’ll stay with Tita Jane for a while, okay?” He gave me a thumbs-up and I gestured Ema to go inside which she did with a smirk on her face.

He’s just behind the car so he couldn’t escape from me.

“Do you know how dangerous it is to speed driving down the streets?! What if you hit someone? Or what if you get hit yourself!” I continued yelling while hitting him. Yeah, I’ll be brutal just for today.

“Ouch! Nass—sorry! I’m good at driving so you have nothing to worry about. You just don’t trust me!” He proudly defended. I stopped hitting him as I positioned my hands on my waist.

“Don’t even think about doing that again. It’s okay if you’re alone in your car. But not when Brylle and I are in there!”

“Pffft.” Hey! He just laughed at me. Do I look like I’m joking here?

“Yes, I won’t do it again. Hahaha. Seriously, Nass, you look like a grumpy old lady with that pose.” I hit his nape at his statement.

“Aissh.”

“But hey, does Kei know about Brylle?” I stopped in my tracks while walking back to the mansion. Gee. The reason I told him yesterday was far beyond reality.

He went over to my side and held me by the shoulder.

“Kei doesn’t know?!” He hysterically asked.

“I only told him that it’s my aunt’s birthday.” He held in his frustration and gazed upon the sky.

“Damn, Nass. What if he finds out?” Yeah, I know. He’ll be a raging hell for sure.

“He won’t be home until the night. And if he finds out, then I’ll just explain to him the truth.”

“Nass, Kei hates lying.” I patted his shoulder to calm him down.

“I’ll handle it, okay? What’s important is that Brylle will enjoy himself here in the mansion.” He lets out a heaved sigh as we entered.

“Okay, Nass. Just don’t include us if ever you and him will have a fight. He might let out his anger to me, y’know.” I smiled at him sarcastically.

“Wow, thanks for the concern, Zeke. Don’t worry. I won’t tell him that you knew about Brylle ever since I started working here.” Zeke’s expression shifted into something troubled.

“Please no. Kei is absolutely terrifying. Even if he’s our friend, his anger boils like the raging hell underneath.” Is Keian really that scary to the point that even his best friend is afraid of him?

I face-palmed.

“Yes, Zeke. I’ll take care of you.” He nodded but was still in deep thought.

“Aihihihi.” I heard a child giggling so I turned to Brylle with a smile while he’s running around with Jane.
