Maid for the Mafia Boss

It’s been days since the massacre in the mall happened and the night Keian, and I almost fight.

For an unsure reason, I avoided Keian, and he seemed like he doesn’t want to talk to me either.

So here I am, back to being a maid, my work before I became Keian’s “personal” maid.

He’s not asking for me, so what reason can I have to stay in Keian’s study like what I used to do?

Also, these past few days, he’s always in his office, and I only saw him this morning.

I’m now cleaning at the mansion’s west wing, where one can find the gym, library, theater room, and gaming room. Ah! There’s a lot here, mostly for entertainment.

While the rooms are in the east wing…

I climbed down the ladder I used to clean the top of the bookshelves here in the library.

With my hands on my hips, my eyes around the whole library, and I feel like the entire room is shining after finishing cleaning.

” Good job Nass. You’re great,” I praised myself.

I shook my head to myself, smiling, then reached for the broom on the floor and got out of the library.

” Where should we next clean???” I asked myself.

Hmmm…

I happily walked towards the gaming room. I’ll just look at the things inside.

And maybe, try to use it too.

Mwahahahaha. No one will notice anyway.

*smack*

I stopped walking when I heard a sound coming from the direction of the gym.

Who would work out at this time? The sun is so high in the sky.

And of course, I hid myself on the gym’s door to peek at who is inside.

What do you expect from me!? Hahaha!

I slowly moved my head slightly inwards the room.

And I saw inside, in the middle of the room, is a naked man. Oh! Not totally nude, just topless.

He punched a punching bag with matching kicking with his feet.

He seemed like he’s really agitated with the punching bag because he’s hitting it so strongly.

Who is he? Why is he so frustrated? And why is his figure familiar to me?

*look*

I gasped and immediately hid behind the wall with my hand on my chest.

Huuu!

My heart is beating so fast…

Keian’s the one inside?! Why didn’t anyone told me? Huhuhu.

The fact that when Keian looked at me, he looked like he knew I was peeking, didn’t help with my nerves.

Oh, Nass! The two of you are avoiding each other right!?

And for that reason, I’ll silently walk away like nothing happened at all, yes, yes, that’s right.

I carefully tiptoed away from the gym.

Please don’t notice, please don’t notice me, Keian.

” Stop.” I stilled like a robot when I heard Keian’s deep voice commanding me. To which I foolishly followed.

*facepalm*

” Yes, maître?” I smiled so sweetly when I faced him. His look at me is cold, as usual.

” Why are you here?”

” Uhmm, I’m cleaning, sir,” I said with a hint of sarcastic tone.

He raised an eyebrow at me. Hehehe. Why did you choose to clean here again Nass?

” Be my sparring partner,” my eyes widened at his request.

” Ehhhh—-” before I could even oppose what he said, he already pulled me inside the gym and brought me to the boxing ring.

Geez, this man might beat me up to the fullest.

He meaningfully looked at me with cold eyes.

” You looked like you’re knowledgeable with martial arts. Someone must have taught you how.” My eyebrow raised at his emphasized words.

Is he indicating something?

” Are you serio—” I got cut off when I had to dodge a punch he let out in my direction.

It’s a good thing I saw it right away because if not, I may have a bleeding nose already.

I looked at Keian with a blank expression, in disbelief.

No hesitation in punching my face! So you really want to punch me?!

” Kei!” I shouted when he tried to kick me but I blocked it with my hands.

” What? You know how to fight, right?! So f*cking fight! I will not hold back just because you’re a woman or someone who is just working for me!”

He turns around as he lifts his foot to send another kick towards me so I immediately bend down and rolled away from him before standing in a fighting position.

I don’t know what I’m exactly feeling right now at what Keian did.

I don’t know if I should be angry, irritated, frightened, or pained.

Didn’t he said… He loves me?

Or is that just my illusion?

I’m not sure what I’m truly feeling for him but now I’m sure that I am hurt by what he’s doing.

” I don’t know why you applied as my maid but whatever you are planning to do, I will not let you. I can even kill you right now.

Boom…

There…

I can’t take it anymore, I’m sure.

That he didn’t have an ounce of trust in me.

I lowered my head and slowly dropped my hands to my side.

I sensed that he walked towards me the pushed me to the corner of the ring.

It hurts but I am unable to react.

Both of his arms are on my side as he’s touching what I’m leaning on. He locked me in his arms.

He put one of his hands on my neck.

” Why?” He asked in an angry tone.

” Why did you apply as a maid?”

His grip on my neck slightly tightened and I can’t do anything but clench my fist while still looking down.

” Why did you have to be in this house when I returned from France?”

” Why did you have to find out that we’re a mafia? Or maybe you already knew from the start?” I bit my lower lip hard.

” Why did I see you outside my bedroom?”

” Why are you the one who saw manang lying unconsciously?”

” You want to take care of manang’s wound because you want to go inside our headquarters? Is that it? Nassandra?!” He completely tightened his hold on my neck making it hard for me to breathe.

I don’t want to be weak anymore.

I don’t want to run away from the problem.

I don’t want to do things that in the end will be my regrets.

So I looked up at Keian with a blank expression and swiftly removed his hand on my neck then kicked him on his stomach.

Because of the shock, he was unable to do something and dropped on the floor of the boxing ring so I attempted to pin him down but he quickly kicked me resulting in me, being the one on the floor.

My hands went to my legs in pain since that’s where Keian kicked me.

” What is your agenda, Nassandra Pat Del Luna?” I looked at Keian with widened eyes. He jas a dark expression as he stood up and slowly walked towards me.

–

” Apo. Don’t worry, this will be quick. Lolo I won’t hurt you.” (Remember that lolo is grandpa and apo is a term for grandchild)

–

My heart started to beat faster than ever. Not in myself, I suddenly started to back away from Keian until I have nowhere to go as he’s now in front of me and if I move farther back, I might fall from the boxing ring.

He kneeled and touched my face.

–

” Pat, thank you that your parents left you for me.”

–

He held my wrist tightly as well as both of my cheeks.

I started trembling… because of fear.

” Tell me, Nass,” my breathing quickened.

I don’t want to be here anymore.

” K-Keian please, It hurts…” I felt that the part of my body Keian’s holding is starting to redden.

His appearance is changing in my eyes.

He’s starting to look like the demon who ruined my life in the past.

–

” Pat.”

–

” Nass.”

My eyes started to water.

M-My grandfather? Is in front of me?

No. No, it can’t be.

It’s Keian. He’s the one in front of me.

It’s Keiranz who is my boss.

Yes, indeed.

When my tears fell, I pulled my hand from his grip and put my hands around him for a hug.

” Keian,” I called to his name while crying.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

” Please…” He froze when he heard what I said.

” Sh8t.” He immediately stayed away from me. He can’t even balance himself causing him to fell in a sit while looking at me straight through my eyes.

I considered this as my chance to get away from this place. So I started running out of the gym.

Here I go again. Where running is the only thing I know.

Damn.
