Maid for the Mafia Boss

I flashed a smile at Dale.

“I knew you’re a good guy like deep down, really deep deep down your heart even though you’re a jerk.” He chuckled.

“You know, everyone here has a reason why they’re here.” He looks at me with a smirk.

“What’s yours?” I sighed.

“So you were the ones who killed my grandfather,” I stated.

“Yeah. God, I can’t forget the feeling when I saw him dead. But I found a piece of information that Il Massimo Impero is not dead and what happened next confirmed my suspicions.” I stared at something from afar, in a beautiful garden full of flowers.

“After running away from home, I had nowhere to go, so I had to live alone in the streets. I never got to hear any news from Lolo. I focused on not being recognized by his men.” I looked at him and smiled.

“Then I found Brylle, Tiya let us stay in her house, then I had to find a job, that’s why I’m here today.” He laughed at my statement.

“Sorry, I was a jerk the first time I met you.”

“It’s okay. You still are today, though.” We both laughed at the same time.

“Thank you. For waking me up from my nightmare.” He smirked at me and winked.

“Ahem.” We both turned to our side and saw a middle-aged man with a good body build and looks slightly like Keian?! He’s wearing a suit and was standing elegantly while looking at the two of us.

Dale and I were both surprised.

The man looks at me, and recognition slowly filled his eyes.

“Tito Andre?” His face became emotionless, and his eyes returned back to usual Dale.

I got confused.

“Where’s Nicolas?” Dale looked at me before stepping out of the pool to grab a towel.

I saw the man that I’m assuming is Keian’s father looked back to me again. But wait a second.

“Uhmmm, he’s in Mindanao together with Katie.” Dale carefully answers.

Dale reaches out a towel to me, and I gladly accepted it.

I used it to wrap around my body, I bowed in front of the two before turning around to go back to the mansion.

“Stop.” Keian’s father commanded. So I stopped in my tracks.

Looks like someone inherited something!

I faced him back once again.

“W-Why?” He observes me from head to toe.

“Stay here.” This got me even more confused.

I wanted to ask him why, but I decided to stay since he’s looking at me with an intense look.

“Tito, what are you doing here? Since when did you arrive back in the Philippines?” This made the old man make a face.

“J’ai retrouvé mon fils heir devant ma maison. Ja lui demande pourquoi il a volé 11, 100 km et il ne me répondra pas. J’ai décidé d’aller ici pour avoir ma réponse. (I found my son yesterday in front of my house. I asked him why he flew 11, 100 km, and he won’t answer me. I decided to go here to have my answer.).” He spoke in French, probably to make sure I wouldn’t understand their conversation.

Heh.

Dale gave me a side glance.

“Je ne connais pas non plus la raison , mon ocle. (I don’t know the reason either, uncle.).” I raised an eyebrow at Dale.

I was surprised when Keian’s father suddenly hit Dale on his nape.

“Ow! Tito!”

“C’esr pourquoi je demande Zeke, pas toi! (That’s why I’m asking for Zeke, not you!).” Dale pouted as he looked over at me.

“Je suis la raison pour laquelle Keian est en France. (I’m the reason Keian is in France.).” I intervened in their conversation. Keian’s father looked at me from the side of his eyes.

Then he faced me.

“And you are?” He asked, narrowing his eyes.

“Nassandra…sir.” He raised an eyebrow.

He looks back at Dale before walking towards me.

“Can you tell me why? Though you have to change first, or you’ll get a cold.” My eyes widened as he lends an arm to me.

I hesitantly locked my arm around his.

“O-Okay.” I don’t know why Dale looked like in a panicked state as he saw Keian’s father and me heading towards the mansion.

As we got in, we went to the living room, and he sat on a sofa.

He nodded at me as if he was telling me to go dress up.

So I awkwardly went up the stairs.

There’s something about his presence that I can’t seem to point my finger at.

As I changed into clean and dry clothes, I went back to the living room.

Keian’s father just roamed his eyes around the surroundings. Looks like it’s been a while since he went home here in the Philippines.

When he noticed me, he sat up properly and gestured at the sofa in front of him.

“Sit.” I obeyed him and sat in front of him with my head down.

Then there was a long moment of silence between us.

I couldn’t think of anything to say!

“Keiranz have always been… fragile since he was a kid.” I looked up to him as he spoke.

“He inherited that trait from his mother. They’re both energetic and kind-hearted.” He was just looking into my eyes.

“Ever since she died, Kei became low-spirited, and over time, he decided to join my mafia. I was happy as a leader because he has skills but not as a father. He only wanted to join for revenge.”

“But even I can’t change his mind. He’s stubborn. And a coward.” I raised an eyebrow at what my companion just told me.

“And you,” I sat back up properly as he pointed at me.

“You are a maid here.”

“Yes, sir,” I answered with no second thoughts.

“You are the reason why Kei is in France.” I nodded at him repeatedly.

“Yes, sir.”

“Then Keiranz loves you.”

“Yes—- I mean, what?” I was flabbergasted at his last statement.

I didn’t see that coming.

He lets out a small smile at me.

“I heard you killed my wife.” I was suddenly nervous at the topic he just brought in.

“Sir, I—” I stopped speaking as he raised his right hand.

“Yes or no?” My eyebrows furrowed at this.

“No, sir.” I lowered my head.

“Just calm me, Tito Andre.” My eyes returned to him.

“O-Okay.”

“If your answer is no, then I believe you.”

“I-I’m sorry? But—” He scooted closer to me, but he was still sitting on the sofa.

“Now tell me why?” Wait. What is happening?

Haystttt.

I sighed.

“I couldn’t completely tell the reason, but I know Kei left the Philippines because of me.” His eyes studied me without any expression.

“Hmm. I won’t meddle in your relationship, I wanted the both of you to fix it up. The reason why I’m here is that I wanted to know what made him like that.”

I nodded my head repeatedly. Feels like he’s ordering us to do something.

“Just make sure.” My heart skips a beat as he muttered every word with emphasis.

“You betray him or anyone in this house. If that happens, I’ll rush here myself just for you.” I gulped at his threat.

“Yes.” He smiles at me after threatening me.

“Uhmmm. Have you eaten breakfast already?” I asked. He raised his brows at me in question.

“As a matter of fact, no. A father just can’t sleep when his son is not okay.” I smiled at his words.

“I’ll cook for you, then.” Since I’m still don’t eat breakfast myself.

As far as I know, Zeke let Ema and Jane take a break. They’re currently at the mall, that’s the only place where they could roam around there will be men watching over them.

But I’m sure they’ll get to enjoy themselves, at least.

“Are you sure?” I nodded at him then went towards the kitchen. He follows suit.

“Yes, Tito. What do you want?” Is it just me, or, weirdly, I find myself comfortable around his presence?

Well, I can’t do anything about it. His and Keian’s vibe and presence are just so alike.

“Feel free to do anything, dear. I’m not picky when it comes to food, as long as they’re delicious.” I nodded at him and started cooking.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“So, do you want to hear about Keiranz’s embarrassing childhood?” I was surprised as I laughed at what Tito Andre just said.

“Oh, definitely.”

“He’s way closer with his mother, but… he would always run to me when my wife becomes so childish. Then, Karina would pour everything at me while he’s hiding!” Tito and I both laughed at the story he was telling.

We had brunch earlier, it’s already afternoon time, probably around 3 o’clock.

We’ve been talking here for about five hours now. All topics are about Keian.

“She seems like a great mother and a wife.” He stopped laughing and let out a sad smile.

“She is.” Then he got sad.

“I’m really sorry, it was Lolo who really killed her. I tried to save her, but he wouldn’t let himself agree.” I suddenly felt guilty about what happened.

“Even I hate my own grandfather.” He sighed.

“It’s okay, Nass. I’m not blaming you.” We smiled at each other.

He raised his hand, probably to hold my cheek, but someone stopped him from doing so.

“Tito Andre! We can’t let you hurt her!” We all turned to Zeke, who held Tito’s arm, Dale was in front of me while Katie and Theo went over to my side.

“Are you alright? Were you hurt?” I furrowed my eyebrows.

“What’s going on?” Katie checked my whole body to see if there was an injury or anything.

“What the hell, Nicolas?” Zeke swallowed a lump in his throat while he’s dripping all over in sweat and his hair was a total mess.

“Tito. Nassandra is our friend. And we already know that she wasn’t the one who killed Tita Karina.” I looked at Zeke, who seemed very nervous while speaking.

Don’t tell me…

“Huh? Did you guys actually thought Tito Andre would hurt me?” I asked, turning my head sidewards.

The four of them turned to me with serious looks on their faces.

My eyes widened.

“Pfft.” I covered my mouth to prevent my laughter from coming out.

I suddenly felt a dark aura around from Tito Andre.

“Arf!” I smiled as I saw Leon the dog barged inside the mansion.

He ran towards me, so I greeted him.

“Hi, Leon.” He continuously licked my face wet.

“The four of you stand near the wall,” Tito said with authority.

The four ultimately obeyed.

Tito walked over to the four who’s got their heads lowered, looking so nervous than ever by the wall.

I smiled while running my fingers through Leon’s fur.

“Ow!” -Zeke

“Wah!” -Dale

“…” -Theo

“Hi, sweetie.” Tito Andre hit the three men on their napes one by one, but when he got to Katie, he immediately smiled and greeted her.

Katie smiled back.

“Hello, Tito.” Tito Andre kissed Katie on the cheek before hitting her on the nape as well.

I thought she’d be safe from getting hit, though.

“All of you thought that I’m going to hurt her?!” The four stood up straight.

“Yes, Sir!” Their eyes widened as they realized what they just responded.

“Actually, it’s a no, sir.” Zeke scratched his head nervously.

Tito Andre sighed.

“Look, I know you’re worried, but I know her.” Suddenly we were all confused.

He knows me?

“Wait, you know—”

“I have Ricardo reporting to me every day on what’s happening here. I know her.” The four gaped their mouths.

“So you’re spying on us?” Tito Andre lets out a very sweet smile.

“No, gentleman. I’m just… checking on all of you. I have a watcher in each of your houses.”

The four fell silent.

“Now, if you will excuse us. Nassandra and I have something to talk about.” Tito walked over to me and held me by the waist.

“Let’s leave them there,” I smirked and followed Tito outside the mansion.

I saw the four still had their eyes wide opened. Leon also followed.

“I’ll be staying here for a while, you can visit me in my house if you want!” I waved my hand at Tito Andre, who was about to ride on his limousine.

“Of course! Take care!” He smiled and completely went inside.

I watched the car drive away before heading back to the mansion.

“Nass. We’re hungry, we want food!” I shook my head at what Zeke said.

I went closer to him, as in, so close that our faces are already inches from each other.

He got confused at my sudden move.

“Before I cook for you,” I turned to Katie, who seemed puzzled.

Mwahahahahaha.

“Tell me first what you guys did in Mindanao? Why is it…that your hairs are disheveled?” I said in a mocking tone. They both widened their eyes.

“That’s right! When I saw you earlier, something was different!”

“I swear it’s nothing!” Zeke suddenly blurts out.

I saw Theo’s sharp look at the both of them.

Because even Katie is messed up herself.

“That’s because we needed to rush over here since we thought something bad had happened to you. Traveling here from Mindanao is stressful, you know!” I nodded my head repeatedly at Zeke’s reasoning and stood up.

I saw Katie blush.

“Oh, okay. Fine. I’ll get to cooking.” I went to the kitchen to cook since it’s already nighttime and haven’t eaten dinner yet.

“You don’t believe me, do you?!” I just waved my hands in the air at what he said.

Erick, Laiza, and Devon also arrived, so they joined us at the table as we ate dinner. Since they just came from their own homes. Whereas Maxence and Steven are still doing something.

Good thing I cooked a lot…
