Maid for the Mafia Boss

Nassandra’s POV

(A dream)

I was just sitting at the corner of the room, waiting for the door to be opened by the person who locked me in here. I don’t want this anymore. I can’t see.

With my head between my legs, I covered my eyes even though it’s completely dark in this room.

I glanced at the door and saw an old man smirking as he entered.

He walked near me and kissed me on the forehead.

I tried freeing myself as he held me.

“Good morning, apo.” I used to be close to this old man, but after what he had just done to my family, I can’t find the heart to treat him as my grandfather again.

I gave him a death glare but it never affected him at all.

“Ah! Pat, your gaze is becoming more intense. I like it. I was once in your shoes when I was your age.” He knelt down on his knees to be on the same level as I was. Even so, I tried squishing myself at the very corner of the room just so I could avoid his smirking face.

“I don’t want to be here anymore. I want to be back with my mom and dad.” He laughed then changed into a cold face.

“Oh sure, you may see them right now.” His words suddenly gave me hope.

“Really?” He gently held my chin and lifts it up.

“You will see them due.” He grabbed my jaw and let me stand up. I groaned at the pain it caused me.

He brought me to the door while I thought of a way to escape.

“Don’t you dare think of any unwanted actions, Pat.” I felt a cold metal object being pointed at my neck.

“You wouldn’t kill me.” I pointed out, confidently because it’s the truth.

“You’re not the one whom I’m gonna punch a bullet through. If you escape, I’ll kill your beloved friend.” I was surprised to see a girl being held by my grandfather’s men right in front of us.

There was Kim, unconscious and her mouth was covered. One of the men kicked her which ultimately made me weak inside. Kim opened her eyes and directly looked into mine.

She spoke but I couldn’t make out what she’s saying because of the cover on her mouth. All I know is that she’s asking for help.

She was involved because of me. Lolo had her involved.

I reached my hand for her to hold and she did the same.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

But she lowered her hand when she was suddenly kicked by the man again. I glared at the latter.

“Would you stop kicking her!?” I yelled to which he just smirked and continued to kick my friend in the guts which caused her falling unconscious again.

I clenched my fist and looked at the man who deemed my glare very small.

“Enough,” the men looked at lolo and asked for forgiveness.

“Do you now get it, Pat? Don’t you dare escape, or Kim will die.” I gave him sharp look.

“You dragged Kim in this mess!” I shouted and he smirked.

“I will accept all the help I need. She voluntarily walked inside my house. You know, to ‘save’ Khalil.” My expression darkened even more at what he said. They tricked her! They damn tricked her into going in this hell!

“You’re a demon!” I shouted at him which just made his smirk even wider.

“Thanks for the compliment. By the way, are you excited to finally see your parents?” My eyebrows furrowed as he brought me to a dark, wide place.

In the middle, I saw my parents tied up with chains around their necks as if they were dogs.

They looked up at me with their faces filled with fear.

“Dad! What are you going to do with her? Don’t make her miserable, just pour it all on us!” Papa quickly said the minute he saw me. He tries to free himself despite all the wounds on his body. Lolo looked at him with a cold look.

“I will never do that to my precious Pat.” He looks at me with a smile, expecting that I would return the gesture like I always did. Ha! As if! He frowned before turning back to them.

“Now shall we start?” I had nothing to do as he started torturing them in front of my very eyes. I just kept on crying like there was no tomorrow.

I kept hearing their voices call my name repeatedly.

“Nass,” muttered my mom with a sweet voice.

“Nass,” a voice full of worry.

“Nassandra!” There goes a familiar voice. I feel heat from where the voice is coming from. It’s like the coldness I’ve been feeling right now was gone now that I heard that voice.

“Nass! Wake up!” There it goes again. My, how it feels good.

Right in front of me was a scene of my parents being tortured but I can’t help but look to my side where a tall, lean man stood. His brown eyes feel like they were pulling me towards him.

Even though my mom and dad are right in front of me, I still can’t help but walk closer to him. He’s so familiar. Everything about him is so familiar.

He smiled as I went to him. It’s like it’s just the two of us and no one can see us. He reach out his hand to me which I just stared at.

“Come, Nass. I’ll get you out of here.” Something was pulling me to him. He’s so warm. It feels so good.

For the first time in many days, I found myself smiling.

“Come on, Nassandra. Wake up.” His deep voice is so gentle. I could listen to it forever.

He envelopes me into a hug to which I returned, this man can totally be trusted.

“Nass!” He said in a worried tone. Worried?

My eyes opened at the same time I gasped, almost feeling like I just lost air from my lungs.

Someone was holding my shoulders and his hands are so warm. Breathing heavily, I looked at him. It was Keian.

His eyebrows are creased as if he just saw a ghost. His eyes are also full of worry.

“K-Kei?” He took a deep breath. I was surprised as he carried me and placed me on his lap before hugging me real tight.

“I’m glad you’re okay.” He said, feeling relieved. I can’t help but place my head on his chest as it feel so warm in that position.

“You were screaming and I am worried so I wake you up.” He explained and tightened his hold on me. I gently placed my hands on his lean back.

He smells so good, like how I usually smell in his room. I suddenly look like a dog sniffing.

I stopped as I realized Keian was confused as to what I was doing. I distanced myself.

“U-Uhmmm.” I looked around and thought of an acceptable reason as to why I started sniffing him.

He chuckled.

“I didn’t know I have a maid who’s a dog.” I felt my face reddening as he laughed. His laugh is amazing. I looked up at him but then I suddenly got dizzy and weak.

I crashed on the bed to which Keian immediately holds me back.

The pain at the back of my head was something I just felt just now. It felt like my head is being hammered.

I touched it and felt a gauze wrapped around it.

“Are you okay? Did it hurt a lot?” I gazed at him. He is really worried about me.

“What happened?” I asked, puzzled. His face suddenly became blank.

“I should be the one to ask you that question.” I was more confused at his statement. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

“Nic found you in manang’s room unconscious together with a bastard.” What?!

“Who is Nic?” His eyebrows met simultaneously.

“Maybe you really hit your head hard.” He seriously stated to which I raised a brow at him.

I thought for a long time and that’s where I realized what happened when I came to visit manang.

“Shiii—” I gasped as I felt the pain in my head.

“Nassandra!” He worriedly shouted. I held up my hands to stop him from getting near me.

“I’m fine. Just a headache.” He sighed and sat on a chair next to the bed.

“You should rest for now. Your wounds needed stitches so I’m the one who performed it. But Katie is on her way here to check on you.” I nodder and stared at the ceiling of the room.

I remembered about my dream. Everything that happened in the past is suddenly coming back to me again.

Keian and I glanced at the door the moment it opened.

“Kei,” Katie entered still wearing a winter coat and shades as if she just came back from vacation.

Keian stood up and walked towards Katie to greet her.

“Welcome back.” He pointed at me.

“She hit her head.” Katie removed her shades and smiled as she walked towards me.

She started to check my head then glanced at Kei.

“You did this?” Keian coldly returned the look and nodded.

“Hmm,” Then Katie turns to me.

“This is good. You just needed to rest around 3-4 days.” I nodded since I honestly didn’t know what to reply back.

She lowered her gaze towards my clothes that are ripped off due to the whip. My wounds are being wrapped with gauze and it’s already cleaned. I noticed it just now that I was actually wounded.

“You didn’t changed her clothes yet.” Katie said to Keian as if it was something he should’ve done. Kei’s eyes widened for a moment but came back to his expressionless face.

“She’s a woman.” He replied. Katie rolled her eyes.

“Meh. As if you haven’t seen a woman’s body before.” I suddenly turned at what she said and looked at Keian who’s also looking at me. Have he seen a lot of women’s bodies? I don’t know why but I’m suddenly sad upon hearing that information.

“She’s different.” Ahh. Okay, I get it. I just sighed while Katie held my hand.

“You rest, Nassandra.” I returned her smile as she walked away from me. She glanced at Kei for a second before leaving the room.

I closed my eyes to sleep, I do feel a lot exhausted.

I felt a warm presence on its way to me. I fixed my blanket up to my chest.

I felt his hand touching mine for a second before he also leaves the room.

As I was drifting off to sleep, I feel myself smiling like a lovesick fool.
