Maid for the Mafia Boss

“Ow! Ma’am!” Kuya guard cursed as I checked his injury. He was the eighth wounded from those who were training earlier.

“Oh, I’m so sorry!” I looked at the guy who maintained a smile on his face while lying down and obviously in pain.

“Dude! Don’t be such a coward in front of a fine maiden. You’re so shameless!” I smiled as I turned to another guard who’s inside the infirmary. It looks like all of them are really close.

“Hey! You were the one with the loudest scream among us everytime we’re being treated!” Fired back the guard I’m currently treating. Everyone laughed at what he said.

“Ohhhh! You were a coward yourself.” Everyone laughed to which I also did along with them.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

I touched him more gently as I covered his wound on his hand that was injured.

“Ma’am, are you Sir Andrew’s girlfriend?” He asked with a wide beam on his face. Shyly, I smiled and shook my head.

“Oh no. I’m just his maid at the mansion.”

“Is that so? But you seemed very close to the four maîtres.” I shrugged. I looked around and saw the smiling faces of the guards who just got better after the training.

“I have a question.” He turned his head to me.

“What is it, ma’am?”

“The maîtres… What kind of boss are they?” I asked till I noticed they were silenced at my question. This suddenly made me worried that there must be something wrong in what I said.

A few moments later, the smile returned to their faces. What’s going on?

“At first we thought they’re one of those heartless people after seeing the way they kill. But they only do that to those who really had done something wrong, even for the innocent, they always help. They’re like policemen. When we joined their mafia, they always teach us every training. We always have food, shelter, and even this infirmary. Yes, they’re strict but when they get mad, we know if really did messed up. It is part of our training.” He was looking from afar as if he was remembering something.

“We owe them our lives, Miss.” I turned to another guard inside the infirmary.

“They saved most of us. While the rest are those whom they’ve given jobs to raise their families.” I roamed my eyes around until the room got noisy and they were all talking about Kei.

Are they really those people? Based on the guard’s stories, it seemed like Kei and the others aren’t those people whom we thought of them to be.

“Wow, thanks for the compliment.” Everyone turned their heads to the door where we heard someone speak, it was Steven. The four of them are standing by the door.

Those who weren’t injured stood up straight while the others sat on their beds.

“Maître,” they all muttered out in chorus that it gave me literal goosebumps.

I never got to prevent from moving those who were injured. I just watched them shake in pain.

The four men walked closer to me which made everyone’s gazes turn to me as well.

“Nassandra!” Steven cheefully blurted as if we haven’t seen each other in a long time.

Devon and I furrowed our eyebrows.

“Hey! You’ve just seen each other earlier!” He stated. Steven sticked out a tongue to him.

“Why do you care?” Devon rolled his eyes at Steven who was still smiling from ear to ear.

“Nassandra, how are the injured?” Kei asked as he roamed his eyes around the infirmary. I sighed.

“They’re fine. Their injuries aren’t that awful so I think, they can get out of the infirmary after a few days.” He nodded and immediately pulled my hand.

“Hey, where are you going, Kei?” Zeke asked in a loud voice yet Kei didn’t mind him and just continued on pulling me.

“Now where are you taking me?” He turned for a second before walking through the grass going to the mansion.

“Quiet,” I shut my mouth. This guy sure is bossy.

He brought me to his room and let me sat on his bed. What is he going to do?

We just looked at each other for a few seconds with his face wearing a blank look.

Later, he went to the couch and grabbed the bouquet of flowers sitting there. I didn’t notice that.

“Sorry and Thank you, for everything.” He says as he handed me the flowers.

I looked at him in the eyes and he seemed sincere so I just accepted it from him.

“Wow, maître Andrew giving his maid a bouquet of flowers.” I joked. He raised a brow at me before rolling his eyes playfully. I smirked.

“Thank you for the flowers.” I flashed a smile at him as I stood up and walked out of his room.

“Wait!” He held my arm to stop me. It was my turn to raise a brow.

“What?” He lowered his head and thought of something to say.

“Uhhmm,” I tried freeing myself from his grip so I could leave his room but he surely got a tight hold on me.

“Stay here.” He looked at me with a cold expression.

“What am I suppose to do here?” His eyebrows met.

“Arggghhh, just stay. For a few hours.” What am I really going to do here? We never know when he might explode and get all bossy again.

I rolled my eyes and went to his veranda, still holding the flowers.

I noticed the right part of his lips going up.

Tsk.

I looked down on the grassy field at the bottom and saw the guard’s sort of dining area.

They’re so many out there, seems like everyone is eating well.

“Nic!!!” I heard Steven yelling at Zeke after stealing some food from him.

They were also there.

I was suddenly brought back to the guard’s words.

I glanced back at Kei who’s now at his couch, reading a book? So no wonder there are fictional books in his study. He actually reads them?

I smiled.

“Keian.” He looked at me with a shocked expression.

“K-Keian?” He asked, stuttering. I shrugged. I just thought of combining his first and second name. Kei and Andrew. It’s cute, don’t you think?

I ignored his shocked face.

“Why did you start your mafia?” He was stopped for moment but gazed up after.

“Don’t bother answering.” He might get hot-headed later. I returned my eyes to the dinning area at the field.

“Because my mother died.” He stated out of nowhere. I didn’t look at him as I focused my eyes on the view.

“She was killed. Her death has no justice.” I noticed him clenching his fist as he stood up, going to the veranda.

He looked down on the commotion downstairs.

“I want all those evil-doers to disappear from the surface of the earth. That’s what my Mom also wanted and I’m thankful that my Dad agreed to it.” He was gazing from afar. It was my turn to clench my fist.

“They wanted you to kill?” I asked with no emotion. He looked at me with a meaningful emotion in his eyes. It was anger mixed with sadness.

“We don’t involve innocent people, Nass. We’re helping them.” My brows furrowed.

“But how about you? What are you? A police? You’re willing to kill for them?” He was a bit surprised upon hearing ny statement but was still emotionless.

“This is what we want and to also get revenge.” His grip tightened as he looked down once again. Looking at Zeke and the others.

“That’s all we could do. What we want. I’m just grateful that I have people around me that understands what I believe in. They never leave no matter how many hurtful words I had said to them.” I sighed and stood up.

I went closer to him and our eyes met.

“Keian.” He’s still wearing that cold expression. I held his shoulders and gently squeezed it.

And that’s where I let go and left his room.

I kept sighing as I walked towards the maid’s quarters.
