Maid for the Mafia Boss

I leaned at the doorframe of the bedroom here inside the house.

I crossed my arms to my chest and looked at Kei, who’s sitting on the bed.

” What really happened, Kei?” I asked. He glared at me before lowering his head. He only went silent, so I pushed myself out of the door and walked towards my friend.

” Move bastard,” I commanded jokingly. He messed his hair up before scooting some space for me to sit on.

” So?” I playfully mocked. He glared at me again.

” I thought y’all wanted me to rest? Why are you here?” He said, irritated.

I smirked at him.

” Uhmm, to annoy you?”

” It’s perfectly working” I rolled my eyes at him before switching to a serious face.

” Seriously, you can’t even speak to Katie. What exactly happened to you?” his jaw tightened, and his fist clenched.

” I’m just… so dumb” I sighed heavily.

” Come on, Kei. What happened when we are still not here? Clara’s working on the nanochip so we can trace their location, so why don’t you help too?”

” Aish! I saw Nami when I went to town on my own, so I talked to her…” I wasn’t surprised anymore when he told me that Nami showed up to him.

” Yeah, Dale already told us when he talked to Nassandra outside the house the other night Nami was here” his eyes narrowed.

“Dale was here— why am I surprised?” He shook his head before his expression darkened.

“Because I got to see Nami again, after a lot of years since I saw her, emotions resurfaced. Especially that she helped with the aftermath of what happened to Mom” I nodded at him and gestured for him to continue talking.

” I said some stupid and unreasonable things to Nass. I let my emotions fill my actions… I’m getting mad when she’s with… Lem. But I didn’t realize that Nass would feel the same way with Nami. I didn’t realize it. I’m an asshole” I grimaced.

” True” He furrowed his eyebrows at me.

” So, who’s Lem?” His expression darkened even more.

” He happens to be the one who helped Nass when she has no home after running away from Maximo. I knew that his reappearance was suspicious. And it turns out I am right. He’s our enemy.”

” Just this morning, I accompanied Nami to the town because she’s leaving. But when I returned here, there’s fu–ing bodies everywhere, and Nass is g-gone” his voice breaks. Like he was about to break into tears again.

But he prevented it from coming out, so he continued telling his story.

” I picked up her phone and went inside the house. An unknown number called Nass’ phone and I answered it. The television opened, and a video showed up with Nass in a white room… I watched two f—ing men kicked her in the stomach!” he growled.

Even I could feel rage upon hearing what Kei just saw.

She’s f—ing pregnant, for god’s sake!

” Those bastards…” I cursed.

” For once in my life, I don’t know what to do,” he softly spoke.

I punched his arm gently.

” Well, at least once in your life, let us help you. That’s why we’re here… You’ve been leading us every time. With everyone’s efforts, we’ll find their location in no time, and we’ll kill those bastards immediately” I winced at the corny statement I just let out, but I smiled.

” Fine,” I smiled genuinely.

” Kuya Kayden?” Kei and I looked at each other when we heard someone call Kayden’s name.

My eyebrows creased, so I stood up to check outside the room, and there stood Kayden in the flesh, who looks extremely exhausted.

” Kayden, I thought you wouldn’t be able to go here in Palawan?” Asked Tito Andre.

His eyes roamed around all of us with a stiffened expression and his fists clenched in a ball.

He bit his lip anxiously.

” I-I need help” this made me confused. Kayden rarely asks for help, so whenever he’s crying us for help, it means it’s serious.

” Why? What happened?” Erick questioned.

” I’ve been… finding Brylle for 2 days already. He’s missing… And I can’t f—ing find him” the whole house fell silent.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

What did he say?!

” F-ck!” Upon Kei cursing out loud, I quickly went over to Kayden. I held him by the collar, but before I could even raise his body upward, Theo and Maxence came intervened to stop me.

” What did you say!?” He bravely stared right through my eyes.

” You heard me, Nic! I know that I f—ed up okay?!”

I was about to lunge him down again, but I suddenly stopped.

” Enough!” Tito Andre shouted, which made us all stop.

“First of all, Kayden, you should’ve told us about your situation sooner. Brylle is also important to us and our priority. And second, Kei, you shouldn’t have left Nass alone in the first place. You know that this vacation is alone time for the two of you. How can you forget that!?” Keian was about to open his mouth to say something but chose to keep quiet and lower his head.

” Wait, what happened to Nass?” My eyes turned back to Kayden, who just asked.

” She was abducted…” Dale stated.

“Just why didn’t you tell us sooner that Brylle is missing?” Kei held both of my shoulders and shook his head at what I said.

“I’m the reason why he went missing, so I should be the one who also finds him.” My eyebrows furrowed.

” Hayyy. I told you to stop fighting about it. Let’s just start talking about what we all should do to find Brylle and Nass.”

” I found it!” We all turned to Clara, who suddenly stood up while raising one of her hands in the air.

We all went to her at the same time and hovered around her laptop.

” Wait, chill. Let me sit first.” I hit her on the nape.

” Kuya, why did you have to hit me?”

Oh. Why did I?

I pretended to be impatiently irritated.

“Just go on with it already.” She rolled her eyes at me and pointed something at the laptop’s screen.

Meanwhile, Keian had maintained his serious composure.

Nassandra’s POV

My eyes fluttered open, and I saw I was still in the white room, but I was lying on a bed this time.

I looked at my hand that has a dextrose tube injected.

Then I suddenly felt the burning pain all over my body.

Remembering what just happened earlier.

I weakly looked at my thighs and saw there wasn’t any blood anymore. Then my hands reached my belly that feels eerily… different.

No…

My eyes widened and covered my mouth in shock.

” Hey,” I immediately glared at the person who had the nerve to visit me in the room, which was Lem.

He was smirking as if he had done nothing wrong in his life. I didn’t utter a word, but I continued to narrow my eyes at him.

” Ohhh. I’m sorry, I guess my men kicked you too hard. You know, because of that, it’s gone,” I wanted to scream. I wanted to curse him to death, but I don’t have the energy to do so. I tried hard to prevent myself from crying in front of him, but unfortunately, I couldn’t manage.

Our baby is gone…

He’s so evil.

So evil that he had to include an innocent fetus that has no fault in any of this.

I tightly clenched my fists.

” W-why… are,. You d-doing t-t-this” I struggled to speak to him.

He laughed.

” Marques ruined my life! My job, my family!” I furrowed my eyebrows.

“W-What did they even do to you t-that you really had to kill a baby… that’s not even born yet.” He made a grimaced face.

“One time, I applied at Marques Manufacturing. I dreamt of being at high ranks, you know. Their company is great, so great that I think I can’t reach it with my own hands. But my wife inspired me. Told me that I can do anything because she said that I have great talent. But when I finally see the opportunity to be in high ranks. They turned me down. I have prepared myself for a long time, but they didn’t listen to me. They said that my SKILLS aren’t enough. I did everything I could, but they didn’t even paid a single attention. They are cruel. I have no idea why that selfish company is still successful up until today!” I stopped at his explanation.

My breathing hitches while trying to contain the anger I’m feeling inside.

“J-Just because of that, you’re g-going to do a-all this?” I was trembling. Shaking because of the extreme emotion I’m feeling inside.

” They killed my family!” At first, I was surprised to hear this. If they really killed his family, then what Lem did is reasonable enough, but then I thought about it.

“H-How did your family die? Were they shot i-in front of you? Tortured? Kidnapped a-and killed for ransom?” He banged his fists on the metal frame of the bed I’m currently lying on.

“Because of me not getting the job, I couldn’t afford to sustain my family anymore. My wife is sick, the reason why I wanted the high ranks because the salary is so high. After removing me on the spot, I couldn’t feed them or give them their needs. I couldn’t even take care of my own child.

” D-did you even tried to find another j-job?”

” I spent all my life preparing for Marques Manufacturing, do you think—”

*boom* That’s where we suddenly heard a loud explosion that was followed by the sound of guns being fired away.

I decided to ignore that, for I was more focused on the anger I was feeling towards the man in front of me.

” What the f—!” My eyes stared at Lem.

He spoke to someone on his earpiece, and a few moments later, he lets out another demonic laugh.

” Oh, your savior is here. Quite the entrance, eh? Well, I’ll give them a great welcome too” He strode closer to me then pulled my hair harshly.
