Maid for the Mafia Boss

My hands are covering my face while I am waiting for Keian to come back.

I am currently sitting on the sofa in the living room by the front door.

It’s been 2 hours, and he’s still not home.

Huhuhu.

It’s all my fault…

I frowned then stood on my feet.

I’ll just sleep so I can stop myself from being crazy because of all my overthinking.

That’s right!

I’m sure once I wake up, he’ll be back.

I climbed up the stairs to go to our room.

” Arghhhh.”

I’m going to sleep on his bed when I forgot his birthday?!

Huuuu!

I leaned on the wall and slapped my forehead.

” What were you doing, Nass… huhuhu.”

My eyes wandered to my surroundings.

Why is it so quiet here??? Where are the others?!

” Aishhh—” I froze when I saw a paper hanging on the doorknob of Keian’s room.

I became really confused, so I took it.

There were even hearts on the paper.

I wonder what this is?

” Nass?!”

” Oh, freak!” I held my chest when I got shocked when I heard Zeke’s shout.

Why is this man scaring me!?

” Why?!” I shouted back because I think he’s still on the first floor.

” W-Where are you?” Huh? Why does he sound like he’s nervous?

” Here in front of Keian’s roo—”

” Wha— Ah, sh8t! Get away from there!” My eyes widened.

” What??? Why?!” I heard Zeke’s fast footsteps climbing up the stairs.

Less than seconds, and he’s already reached the floor where I am.

He looked at Keian’s room’s doorknob then turned his eyes to me.

” W-Where?” I got baffled because he looked like he’s afraid of something.

” Where? Are you looking for this?” I raised the paper I saw earlier.

” W-Why?” I got even more confused.

” What will be your next question? How?” I joked, but he didn’t even laugh and only had a serious face.

” What’s with this anywa—” I unfolded the paper and saw on the beginning the words…

‘ Dear Nass…’

My expression turned serious.

” Nooo! Why did you open it?!” I ignored Zeke and continued on reading the letter.

‘Do you remember? This is where I first saw you. The first time I saw your face. It’s like I fell in love at first sight…’

My jaw dropped.

That’s the only thing written on the paper, and it confuses my brain even more.

” W-What’s this?” I looked up at Zeke, who is frowning.

” Nic, are the preparatio—” I looked at Steven, who just climbed up the stairs as what he’s saying got cut off when he saw me.

Steven’s eyes looked down on the paper I’m holding.

” Y-You already opened it…? Nic? What the heck?!” Zeke hissed then approached.

” Aishhh!”

He opened the door of Keian and my bedroom and brought me inside.

” Stay here. We just have something we need to do, so stay here…” My eyebrows furrowed.

” Huh??? Wait—*slam*” I glared at the closed door.

” Zeke! Just tell me what’s happening!?” I tried opening the door, but something is forcing it close.

I repeatedly pushing it.

” Nass! Stop trying to go out!” I heard Steven shouted.

” Why!? Just tell me what’s happening!”

” Don’t bother to find out— Ah! Go and take a bath. You stink!” My eyes widened at his statement.

” Hey! I don’t stink, okay?”

” Aishhh! Just take a bath!” I rolled my eyes.

” You’re going to let me out, or I’ll jump out of the veranda?” Steven became silent after hearing what I said.

I smirked.

” Are you really—” When Steven opened the door, I immediately pushed him out of the way and dashed out of the room.

Mwahahaha!

” Oy, Nass!” I continued running and was about to go down the stairs, but I crashed into a wall once again.

A tall wall, in the middle of the hallway.

My eyes went up to glare at Erick, who intercepted my escape.

” Miss Nas…”

” Why do you all keep on locking me up in that—ahhhh!” I screamed in surprise when Erick carried me like a plastic bag between his body and arms.

Due to my shock, I didn’t notice that I was back in the room, and Erick even sat me down on the bed then patted my head.

He smiled at me then gets out of the room, but I think he’s now the one guarding outside the wall.

I lay down on my back and stared at the ceiling.

” Hayyyy.”

I picked up a pillow and covered my face with it.

It smelled like Keian…

I winced.

Why is that the first time I went here, this is the fragrance I smelled. Up until now, even though I’m already sleeping here every day. I can’t get used to it.

Should I just surprise Keian?

If I asked for Zeke and other’s help, I’m sure they’ll agree.

I took a deep breath then went to the bathroom.

I’m going to take a bath, so once I asked for Zeke and other’s help, I’ll be ready.

I took off my clothes and opened the shower.

.

.

.

After few minutes, I finished taking a bath, but I have a feeling someone’s outside the door of the CR?

My eyebrows wrinkled as I covered my body with my towel. I was unable to bring clothes to the bathroom, so I’m just going to change in the walk-in closet.

I turned the doorknob and pushed the door open, but I froze at what I saw.

Keian is slowly walking towards the closet as he looked like he was about to take some clothes.

He noticed I got out of the bathroom and froze.

His eyes traveled from my head to toe, then gulped.

” Are you done taking a bath?” I blinked repeatedly.

” K-Keian?” He smiled then runs towards the closet to pick some clothes.

My eyes widened then I chased after him.

But by the time I recovered from my shock, he’s already by the door.

*thud*

And worse, I tripped…

” Oh! Baby! I-I’m sorry I… can’t help you. You’re not hurt, right!? I need to go…” I looked up at Keian with gritted teeth while my body is still on the floor.

He smiled again at me then gets out of the room while biting his lower lip.

I slammed my head to the floor.

” Is he avoiding me???” I heaved out a sigh then stood up.

I went to the closet with a frown on my face to put on some clothes.

My eyes caught a color red chiffon dress.

My mouth gaped because I have no dress as beautiful as that.

I touched the dress, confused.

It’s so beautiful…

I smiled and wore the dress.

” Nass?” I went out of the closet with shimmering eyes and saw my older brother.

He beamed when he saw me.

” You look beautiful, sister.”

” Thank you, Kuya,” He approached me then slipped his hand to my shoulders.

” I heard that you forgot Kei’s birthday.” My smile disappeared as I became silent.

” Let’s go. We have something we need to go to.

” Huh?” Kuya chuckled then he pulled me.

I stayed silent while my brother is dragging me. He looked back at me through his shoulders.

” You okay?” My eyes went up to him from the floor.

” Hmm? Ah– of course.” He squeezed my hand before opening the door to Keian’s study?!

” Kuya, why are we he—” I stopped speaking when I saw balloons and papers scattered on the table.

I walked towards the table and picked the paper up.

‘Are all the work I’ve asked you to do hard? I’m sorry, not sorry. I just want to spend more time with you. I never felt alone again whenever I’m working…’

I was deep in thought.

I think these letters are from Keian.

It has the same handwriting as him.

But I don’t know what these are for.

I lowered the paper back to the table.

” Kuya, what is this— Zeke!?” Zeke grinned at me then reached out his hand.

” Don’t ask, just read.” My eyebrows furrowed.

” Shall we go to the next one?” I took a deep breath then grabbed his hand.

We went to the mansion’s kitchen, where a beaming Ema is waiting for us.

” Hello, Ema…” She gave me a piece of paper.

I took it then read what’s written.

‘A lot of things about us happened here, most especially you found friends here. This is the place where you’ve worked the hardest.’

My smile didn’t fade when I finished reading what’s in the paper.

I looked at Ema, who then brought me to the gazebo.

Theo is there, waiting for us.

He shyly reached the paper to me.

‘I think we’ve never been here together before, but I heard that this is your favorite place in this land.’

Theo held my arm as he’s the one to bring me to the infirmary in the Headquarters.

‘Ahhh. I think this is your second favorite place. You’re always here! That’s why whenever I go here, I always remember you…’

I chuckled at what I read.

Keian is right…

I can’t see Theo anymore, but Diego is walking in my direction.

” Your boyfriend is so corny…” He frustratingly remarked. But I know that it is not what he’s really feeling right now.

” If Keian cheated on you or hurt you, I will definitely take you from him so we can elope.” I hit his arms at what he said.

Someone spoke at Diego’s earpiece, and he just chuckled as a response.

I figured Kuya Khalil, Zeke, and Theo are also wearing earpieces.

” I’m still confused as to what’s really happening…” I asked.

He shook his head at me then put his arm over my shoulders.

” You’ll see…”

I have an idea of why Keian is doing these things, but I don’t want to assume.

We entered the elevator as Diego pushed the 4th floor’s button.

No men of the Marques Mafia are here, so it’s quiet in the whole building.

We went directly to the conference room, where I saw Erick.

” Hi, Nass.” He slightly bowed, and I’m still not used to that greeting of his.

” Erick.” He extended his hands, and I took the paper in his hands.

‘I know it’s not the most memorable place for you. But this place for me is special just how you’re special to me.’

I touched the letters engraved on the paper.

Keian really has a way with words. It made my smile even wider.

” Come on, Nass. I’ll escort you to the next location.” I nodded at Erick.

We went down the building and walked to the field.

Maxence is there, and he seemed restless.

His expression brightened when he saw me but immediately covered it up, then gives me a glare.

” You’re so slow. I was waiting here for so long…” I just laughed at what he said.

” I don’t really do these things, but I’ll make an exception for you.” He gave the paper.

” Hayyy Maxence…” He smiled at me.

” What?”

I looked at what is written while biting my lips.

‘Now that you’re a part of our mafia, make sure to train hard. If you do something wrong, I’ll still punish you… In a different way than what I do to other members;).’

My smile disappeared at what I read.

He even put a wink emoji…

Maxence is just looking at me with a frown.

” D-Did you read this?” He didn’t answer me and just rolled his eyes.

I stared at him with my jaw dropped.

He reached his hands, and I gave him back the paper, slightly blushing.

” Let’s go to the parking lot. The location of the next paper is far from here.”

I just gave him a nod and followed him to the parking lot.

Waiting in front of a sports car is Devon.

” Oh, you’re my driver?” I teased.

He gasped then looked at me with a glare.

” No. I’m your company for the ride. Just for this day, I’m going to drive for you.” He said with a hint of irritation in his voice.

I just shook my head at him, amused.

Maxence left, and Devon opened the door for me.

” Thank you.” He waved his hand like he’s saying, ‘it’s nothing.’

I pouted and waited for him to get to the driver’s seat.

The road we’re taking right now is familiar, and it looked like we’re going to the mall.

Devon and I talked while on the road.

He may be ill-tempered, I still enjoyed talking to him and being in his presence.

We arrived at Keian’s mall, where Katie and Clara were waiting outside.

Katie excitedly approached the parked car and opened the door beside me.

” Nass!!! We’re going to have a great day!”

I was unable to give a response when she pulled me out of Devon’s car.

Devon waved at us then drove away.

” What are we going to do here?” Katie’s smiles are reaching her eyes, but I have a feeling she’s up to something…

” Oh, Ate Nass,(older sister) get ready.” I looked at Clara with confused eyes.

Katie giggled then suddenly pulled me towards the mall’s entrance.
