Maid for the Mafia Boss

I heard screamings, people running in every direction, and shattering glasses while the man outside is still not stopping on shooting using his gun.

I felt someone touched my cheeks, so I turned my head to Keian with wide eyes. I saw the concern on his expression.

” Are you okay? Are you hurt? Nass?” I shook my head in his direction, trembling as I tried to stand up to the gunner.

” No.” He sternly said.

” But there’s a lot of wounded people outside. Let us help them, Keian” I held his hand. I can’t hide the fact that I’m scared right now. Not for myself, but threatened that the gunner would kill more innocent people. Keian nodded at me as reassurance.

” I know Nass, I know” he positioned himself behind the machine then checked the man. Of course, I took the space beside him and looked from the other side of our hiding place.

There’s almost no one outside the game station. It’s either people are hiding, or they’re already lying on the floor. I just wished that the situation is not what I’m most afraid of happening.

The man’s eyes wandered around, and it’s a good thing we were able to hide before he can see the two of us.

” Sh8t. The guards are already dead.” my eyes widened more at what he said.

Keian looked at his watch and touched it several times. He wore an earpiece as he looked like he’s trying to contact the people in the mansion.

” Alpha au siège ( Alpha to headquarters)” base on Keian’s face, someone is speaking on his earpiece.

” Damn. I still want to live, huhuhu.” I looked at the nearest machine where Keian and I are hiding and saw the guy we fought earlier in the shooting game. I checked his state.

” Are you okay?” even though I was irritated at him because of his conceited remarks when we were playing, I still don’t wish for him to get hurt.

He looked at me, surprised, while he’s hugging his back bag.

” I-I’m okay,” he stuttered. I gave him a small smile before turning my attention back to Keian.

” Bring the 3rd commando in our position. I’ll send you the coordinates,” Keian said to the one in the earpiece. He sighed then looked at my eyes.

” I’ll go out there, and you will stay here. Understood?” he said in a serious tone. His expression is already cold, different from what I saw a few minutes ago.

” But—”

” Stay, Nassandra,” Keian said with emphasis. I have no other choice but to lower my head.

I felt him touched my cheek before standing while holding his gun. I watched him go out of the game station and reveal himself to the shooter.

I nervously eyed them up. Nothing terrible will happen to Keian, right? I mean, he won’t be a boss if he’s not skilled. Yes, yes. That’s right.

The man smiled when he saw Keian as if he expected Keian to show up.

Why?

” Is your boyfriend crazy? Why did he go out? Didn’t he know he might get killed at what he did? Aish, I don’t know tp the two of you, but I don’t want to die.” I blinked twice at the guy’s direction and decided not to answer his remark.

My attention went back to Keian and the gunner. They’re still talking to each other.

I suddenly saw men with masks and big guns in their hands coming from the stairs. They look like soldiers.

Their guns were pointed to Kei and ready to shoot him any minute. My eyebrows furrowed when Keian still hasn’t noticed the heavily armed men walking in their direction, so I did what I have to do.

I went out of my hiding place and immediately pushed the glass door.

” Keian!” I shouted while pointing in the men’s direction.

He looked at where I’m pointing and swiftly ducked to avoid the bullets they are shooting out.

” Sh*t! Why the hell did you go out?” he asked, annoyed while hiding behind a garbage can, to which I followed. I didn’t answer his question and looked around.

There’s a lot of people lying…. all of them are in a pool of blood.

” Alpha au siège, where is the damn commando?!” Keian shouted to the one he’s talking to in the earpiece.

” Tell Clara to f—— replace you. Now!”

Keian peeked from behind before shooting at six men without pausing. All of them have bullets in their heads.

Why? Why did they have to do this? They involved innocent people.

” Apo (grandchild). I’m right here, my child, please, hold on.” I looked at where the voice is coming from, feeling afraid.

Not far from where we are hiding, an old lady is lying face down, together with a girl kid. Her eyes are still open, but the pain is obviously what she’s feeling.

” Lola, haa— w-what’s happening?” the kid started crying. The old lady is doing the same.

” Clara! Who in my command is near the place?—then tell him to come here immediately, we are surrounded.”

I need to help them; they need to live.

” Nass?! Stay here!” Keian shouted when I tried to go in the old lady and child’s direction.

I looked straight at his eyes.

” Please, Kei, let me help them,” I pleaded.

He looked in the old lady’s direction and looked hurt while deciding what to do.

” Okay… Run to them on the count of three. I’ll cover you” I sighed in relief, then nodded at Kei. I readied myself.

” Be careful, Nassandra.”

” I will.” After sighing, his expression went to blank as he prepared his gun.

” 1″ I only focused on the old lady and child’s direction.

” 2…”

” 3!” Keian and I stood up at the same time. He confronted the armed men and started firing his gun while I ran to where I want to go the most.

” Ma’am, are you alright?” her eyes widened as she looked at my eyes.

” I-I’m fine, I’m fine. But my grandchild, please help her.” I held her shoulders and nodded in reassurance.

I looked at the child whose hands are with the old lady’s.

She has a gun wound on her stomach part, and it’s bleeding fast.

I took the extra t-shirt in my bag and immediately used this to cover and put pressure on the kid’s wound.

” Oww”

” It’s okay, you’ll be okay” the kid looked at me with tears in her eyes.

” Nassandra!” I turned my attention to Keian, who is still firing his gun at many armed men.

One of them is pointing his gun at where the old lady is, but it’s too late…

” L-Lola,” I watched in shock as the lady tightened her hold at the child’s hand.

” I’m sorry apo.”

My breath quickened as I glared at the man who shot the old lady. He is smirking.

He shoots the child as well.

Afterward, he pointed his gun in my direction.

” Wait! No!” I heard Keian shouted.

I looked at the man with cold eyes with my fists clenched.

” What are you looking at?!” I stubbornly stayed my look on his face.

” Don’t you dare—” Keian ran towards the man, but its allies stopped him.

The guy who shot everyone and everything in the mall went near me. He looked at me from head to toe before smiling.

” You’re quite a beauty, miss. You want me to take you home?”

” I would never entertain someone like you! You murderer!” His eyes filled with anger at what I said and roughly held my chin upwards.

” What did you say?!”

” Don’t you dare touch her!” I glanced at Keian, who is trying to free himself from the huge men’s grip.

No. I don’t want to be weak anymore. I won’t make everyone stop just to help me that I’m the weak one.

So I swiftly put my right hand on his neck and stole his gun with my left hand. Because of shock, his grip loosened.

I faced him to his subordinates while I pointed the gun on his head.

” You can kill him. He has no worth anyways.” I looked at a guy who is even wearing sunglasses.

I smirked at him before making the guy on my arms sleep by hitting the side of his neck with my hands. Then I stood up to shoot the guy in shades and the rest of the men.

…

Breathing hard, I lowered my gun and looked around the mall.

There are no armed men. All are now dead. Keian is shocked at what I did, but he swiftly walked towards me to make sure I’m alright.

” You okay? Injured?” he worriedly asked.

I smiled tiredly and shook my head.

” I’m sorry.” Keian wrapped his hands on me to engulf me in a hug while I’m just staring on the floor.

*clap clap*

” Marques!” He released when we heard someone clapped.

Because Kei’s the one facing the direction of the stairs, he was the one who saw someone who has a disturbingly familiar voice.

He protectively hides me from the anonymous person.

” Who are you?” Keian’s voice is cold when he asked the man, firmly clutching his gun.

I peeked from Keian’s back and got confused when I saw the man’s face, making me realize I already saw him elsewhere.

” Oh, I’m just a nobody. I’m just here to kill you, don’t worry.”

Keian’s breathing seemed to quicken, and his knuckles are almost white because he’s gripping on his gun too tight.

” You f—ing killed the people in this mall!” He angrily said. Keian’s voice became more profound.

The anonymous man just smiled and nodded his head.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

” You’re great, Marques. Your skills did not disappoint me.” The man said.

” I don’t need to impress a bastard like you!”

” Hahaha! That’s true. But at least you manage to kill the men I sent here to massacre EVERYONE.” He emphasized the word everyone, and I can’t help feeling angry at this man.

What did he want?!

” By the way, I’m Diego Evans. Nice to meet you,” he casually said that made Keian more aggravated.

Diego Evans???

He pointed his gun at the man named Diego.

” What do you want?” Keian nearly growled his words. Diego just smiled before touching once on his earpiece.

” I told you, I want you killed.”

Later on, a new group of heavily armed men climbed the stairs, and their numbers are overwhelming than those we encountered earlier.

I gripped Keian’s shirt tightly. Then I felt his left-hand touching mine.

Arghh! My head’s spinning just from thinking where and when did I saw that Diego Evans!

Diego…

Evans…

I looked back and forth at Diego and the armed men.

Until finally…

(Flashback)

” Hey, are you alright? Why are you crying?” I asked a boy child hiding behind a wall. I went near him and kneeled so I can be in level with his eyes.

” Wahhh huhuhu. It’s nothing. I was scolded by my Mom earlier” his words are not constant, and he looks like he has trouble speaking. He sniffed before rubbing his eyes.

” Why were you scolded?” I asked. His mouth closed then he shook his head.

” Why would I tell you? You’ll just embarrass me” I patted his head while smiling.

” Okay, I won’t ask. Just tell me your name, please?” he looked up at me as he also smiled.

” Diego Evans. You?”

” Pat Del Luna”

By the time I finally remembered who Diego Evans is, his eyes went towards me as his smile slowly disappears.

” D-Diego?”

” Pat?”
