Maid for the Mafia Boss

I’ve never felt this safe in someone’s arms… As I stopped crying, I suddenly felt so much exhaustion. I closed my eyes while my head was still on Andrew’s chest.

I heard him sighed as he started to stand up and carry me in bridal style. I don’t have the slightest idea on where he’s taking me but he just keeps on walking. I tightened my grip on his neck.

“Kei,” I heard Zeke’s voice.

“It’s okay, Nic. I’ll bring her to my…” I didn’t got to hear what Andrew was saying as I drifted off to sleep.

I heard people chattering which made my head ache even more. I could feel the tender soft bed I’m currently lying on and it smells like men.

“I think she is claustrophobic.” I heard a woman’s voice said. It must be Katie’s

“The room is not that small, Katie.” That was Zeke.

“You locked her up in the room and that can trigger claustrophobia. Besides, based on your story. She looks so scared as if someone was chasing her. I think it has something to do with what happened to her in the past.” I heard another man’s voice. I guess it was Theo.

“I did notice she was getting anxious. I don’t know that she’s claustrophobic. Argh. She told me she doesn’t like it in that room.” Zeke stated with frustration.

“That’s enough. Thank you Katie, Theo.” I heard the door opening and it closed as well. Someone walked towards the bed and I felt him touching my cheek. I can’t help but put my face closer to his warm touch. I feel so cold.

“I’m sorry, Nassandra.” Said Zeke. Then there was silence when he removed his hand on my face.

“Get out already.” Andrew angrily shoots which just made Zeke laugh.

“Take a shower, man. You’re soaking wet.” I heard a grunt and another laughter. The door opened and closed shut once again.

I suddenly felt someone’s warm presence near me and I shuddered at the sudden cold atmosphere.

Someone pulled the thick sheets all the way to my chest which decreased the coldness I was feeling.

After Andrew had finished his shower, he went out of the room and I opened my eyes.

I sat up and observed my surroundings. The walls are all painted dark gray. Whereas the floor was a black marbled tiles.

Including the bed I was currently on which has gray bedsheets and a soft, white pillow.

I’m in a room… a room.

Remembering what just happened a few moments ago, I suddenly face-palmed.

Yeah, Katie was right. Maybe I am claustrophobic. That’s why that was all I can react when I was locked in that room for a long time.

I wrapped my body around the gray blanket and walked towards the room’s veranda.

It’s open and the wind was blowing the curtains of its window.

A cold gust of wind greeted me from above. I looked at the yard’s view. You could clearly see the whole property including the forest that leads to this mansion.

Breathing into the fresh air, I slumped myself and leaned on the railings of the veranda.

I was already chattering at the coldness of the wind since it’s almost night time, but I truly liked it in here, I don’t want to be inside a room for now.

Staring at nothing made me think of all of the recent events that just happened. I closed my eyes in shame including the pain that caused me after reminiscing such memories.

I was still irritated with that Andrew but I couldn’t forget how he rescued me, including the way he wrapped me in his arms with my head on his chest. His chest felt so hard and I think his abs got bulged due to his wet shi—-

Wait! Nassandra! What are you thinking?!

I shook my head.

“What are you doing there?” My eyes widened as I felt my cheeks burning red upon hearing the voice of the man who had just been in my thoughts.

I turned to Andrew who’s walking towards my position in the veranda.

I avoided him and wrapped my body around the blanket even more. I am still blushing.

He stopped and suddenly looked surprised but he eventually covers it with an expressionless face.

“It’s cold there. I don’t want a maid to get sick.” He said, giving emphasis to the word maid. I don’t know what he’s trying to say.

I furrowed my eyebrows as I avoided his gaze.

“I can’t breath properly inside.” He realized the meaning of my statement.

“Then get out of here.” I turned to look at him.

Of course, why didn’t I thought of that earlier? I secretly rolled my eyes before standing up. I went to his bed and placed the blanket back.

I immediately felt the cold breeze and I suddenly wished I didn’t remove the blanket.

I bowed to Andrew despite my dizziness and my knees getting weak.

“I’m sorry for bothering you, maître.” I didn’t bother to look at him and directly went out of his room.

After closing the door, I can’t help but wrap my arms around myself as I shivered. My head is aching and I feel even more sick.

“Hu!” I muttered and walked toward the stairs. Never got to reach there, I just had the urge to sit down. I’m so dizzy and cold.

It was too late when I realized I was actually sitting and leaning in front of a door. I was shocked when it suddenly opened.

I weakly stood up and faced whoever I just disturbed.

“Nassandra? Are you alright?” Zeke observed my body from head to toe.

“Uhhm” I shyly muttered, not knowing what to say. I was still shivering and I just hugged myself tighter. Zeke noticed that as he held on both of my shoulders.

“Are you alright? Are you hurt?” He worriedly asked. As he held my cheek, his expression was shocked.

“Damn! You’re so hot!” I suddenly blushed at his statement. Wait, why am I even blushing?!

“H-Huh?” I stuttered. He laughed as he pulled me inside his room and shut the door.

“I mean, it looks like you have a fever but you’re still hot.” I rolled my eyes at his remark even though my head was aching enough.

“Are those still the clothes you wore when you dive into the pool?” I became silent at his question.

“No wonder you have the fever. It’s pretty cold this afternoon.” He pulled me to his bed.

“Rest here. I’ll get a female maid. She probably knows what to do, right?” I nodded at him, saying it was a good idea. I looked at him before lying on his bed.

It doesn’t stench manly smell like the one at Andrew’s but this will do.

Wait! What was I thinking??!!!

“You know, you’re so lucky because you get the chance to be in my bed. Most girls can’t.” Despite my body feeling weak, I had the urge to grab a pillow and throw it to his direction. Sadly, I missed.

“Just call a female maid.” I cruelly say. He laughed while leaving the room.

As the surrounding went quiet, I closed my eyes and slept.

I woke up with a wonderful feeling! I feel lighter than ever. I sat on the bed as I let out a yawn.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Oh good, you’re awake!” I turned to look at Zeke who’s currently on the couch in the room. I suddenly realized I’m not in the maid’s quarters but here in Zeke’s room.

I unconsciously looked at my clothes.

“Hehhhhh????! Why are my clothes different?!” I flabbergastedly asked and tuned to Zeke who was also surprised with my scream.

“Huh?! Wait—-oww! Nassandra, you had it wrong!” I threw him all of the pillows on the bed. And all of them are either missed or being catched.

I only stopped throwing since there was no pillow left to throw at. Zeke went closer to me and pinned me on the bed. My eyes widened.

“Ahhh!” I screamed to which he covered my mouth. He scooted his head closer to mine.

“Sshh? All of our commanders are here!” We looked at each other with our faces so near. I took this opportunity to push him away which caused him crashing on the floor.

I held my mouth in shock. I peeked through the window by the bed.

“A-Are you alright?” I stuttered. He stood up.

“The woman maid was the one who changed your clothes! Have you forgotten? You’re too judgemental, geez!” He held his buttocks in pain.

I stopped upon hearing his explanation. I quickly avoided his gaze.

“Hmph!” He smirked.

“If you want me to change your clothes, you should’ve told me so. I’ll gladly do it.” I glared at him so much that I wish looks could kill. He sighed.

“All of our friends are here. You should meet them.” I got confused.

“Why should I?” He just smirked.
