Maid for the Mafia Boss

“Brylle?” I called after entering a guest room here in the mansion, where Katie laid him down. He looked at me and attempted to go down the bed, but he’s too small to reach the floor, that’s why I hurriedly came and hugged him.

I just finished eating barbeque at the pool where the boys were grilling a while ago, and Emma mentioned that Brylle already woke up, so I went upstairs. My stomach is just fine. There is no severe injury…

“Mama!” I took a deep breath and stroked his hair.

“Are you okay, Brylle?” he pulled back and nodded.

“Are you alright?” he then asked. I smiled at him and also nodded.

“Of course, baby” he suddenly had a stern look on his face, and I know why.

“Mama, I don’t want to be here anymore” I smiled as reassurance and laid us down together on the bed.

“Is it because of what happened tonight?” he nodded and tightened his hold on my shirt, then he went silent.

“Are you scared of the man? The one holding a weapon?” he shook his head and crammed to me more.

I don’t really know precisely what is really in Brylle’s mind. He may not be afraid of Keian but is scared of the exact scene. It’s like he doesn’t want that to happen again. Well, who would really want that to happen again?

Brylle’s really intelligent, and at such a young age, he can already understand what is happening in his surroundings.

I held his cheeks and kissed his forehead, then tightened our hug.

“The man is not evil, baby. He’s kind, I assure you, and I’m sorry again, Brylle. I will make sure nothing terrible will happen to you next time. Forgive me?” he broke our hug and smiled sweetly.

So cute.

“Of course, mama. I love you!” I pinched his nose and answered back.

“I love you too, Brylle! Thank you for coming into my life.” He kissed my cheeks before closing his eyes while he’s in my arms.

“Happy Birthday, Brylle” I just stared at him while he’s sleeping peacefully.

And when I’m about to fall asleep, someone entered the room and placed a blanket over us.

I’m pretty sure I know who it is, though.

“Goodnight, Nassandra” I remember him kissing Brylle and me on our foreheads before turning off the lights and leaving the room.

I slept smiling…

“Hmmm!” I stretched and placed my hand on the space on the bed beside me.

“Huh?” I opened my eyes and saw that Brylle is no longer beside me?!

Did he go to the bathroom? He reached the floor?

I scanned my surroundings, even the bathroom, but he’s nowhere to be seen. I suddenly felt nervous.

I was about to run out of the room when I heard a laugh coming from outside?

I turned to the veranda and saw that the glass sliding door is now open.

I walk barefooted towards the railing of the veranda, and Keian is on the grass with… Brylle playing with a full-grown wolf? No. Huh? But is that really a wolf? Or just a Siberian Husky? But it looks different!

And another one! Kei has a dog? And compared to Brylle,  it’s massive.

“Brylle!” I shouted from above. He stopped playing with the dog and looked at me. Keian too. Our eyes met then he smiled.

“Mama!” Brylle even waved, and you can see that he is thrilled with the dog that is now sitting beside him.

“Mama! Let’s play with the dog!” I raised an eyebrow at Keian because it seems like he and Brylle are now good with each other. I then nodded at my son.

“Hmm. I’ll go there!”

I wore slippers and went downstairs to the first floor to go outside using the mansion’s back door.

It was about 5:30 in the morning, and the sun was just about to rise. I think other maids like me are already awake, but except for them, others are still sleeping.

When I got out, I immediately walked towards the place where they are right now.

I saw their face but the wolf— I mean whatever kind of dog that is, ran to me and tackled me. And now, here I am, laying on the grass while the dog smells me.

“Ah, hehehe.”

“Leon! Assis!(Sit)” The dog left the top of me then sat on the grass with its tail wagging eagerly. I then glanced at Keian coming towards me together with Brylle, who ran to hug the dog.

I was about to stand by myself, but I didn’t notice that Keian already carried me and helped me stand properly.

“Mama! Tito Kei said that Leon can be my dog” I looked at Brylle with widened eyes when he said that.

I looked at the dog then at Keian.

“Really?” He nodded then kissed my forehead.

“Goodmorning, and yes.”

“But…” I want to complain since it’s challenging to take care of a dog, but I saw how happy Brylle was so why should I still disagree?

“I didn’t know you have a dog” I glanced at Keian, happily staring at Brylle.

“Oh. We have. She’s in France right now. Leon is his son” I nodded with what he said and approached Brylle and the dog.

“And is this a wolf?” He chuckled at what I asked.

“No. He’s an Alaskan Malamute and is intensely trained in France. He just came here a while ago,” he casually answered.

“Ahhhh— Wait!? Just this morning?!” Brylle slightly tilted his head with how I shouted and quickly turned to Keian.

“Don’t tell me he’s directly from France?” Keian chuckled, and his amusement with my reaction is evident. Aha!

“Il est (He is),” he answered in French.

I frowned.

“Why would you do that? How can you do that?” I emphasized the word how ’cause I’m perplexed right now.

He went near Leon and patted his head. The dog is then leaning his head on Keian’s hand.

“Hmm. I want to give it to Brylle as an apology gift, so I called my men in France to ready a private jet to bring him here.” He casually said.

I blinked my eyes at what he said. That must be expensive! And so much effort!

“Mama! I love Leon already!” Brylle cheerfully said. I smiled at him and fixed his hair.

“Do you like to keep him?” He swiftly nodded his head and then hugged Leon, who is happily licking Brylle. I nodded.

“Okay, Brylle,” I sighed and went to Keian.

“You don’t have to do that. All the effort that you did.” He smiled at me and held my hands.

“I’ll do anything. So he won’t be afraid of me.” I just smiled back at him.

“Oh right. Are you the one that woke Brylle up?” I looked at my son, who is now playing with Leon again. We just watched him at the side.

He shook his head.

“I’ve been staying in the room you’re sleeping in, then he woke up and wants to go to CR. You are sleeping deeply, so I brought him to the bathroom-”

“Wait. You were in the room all night? Did you even sleep?”

“No. I want to stare at your face all night. And also, to think about Brylle,” I wasn’t able to stop myself, and I smacked him.

“You didn’t sleep just to stare at my face?! What are you? Pervert?!” I said annoyingly. Is he stupid? He really should be smacked!

He quickly glared at me.

“I’m not a pervert. It’s you who’s getting red right now.” I touched my face and smiled. I hate this feeling. Traitor!

“So, after going to the CR, he said ‘he doesn’t want to sleep anymore,’ so I brought him here outside. And luckily, Leon was brought here. So we played with him,” he continued. Ah. Okay.

I went silent after he spoke.

“Brylle is such an intelligent child, Nass. And you raised him well” he meaningfully smiled at me. I nodded as an answer.

“I know that, Keian. And I’m thankful.”

A comfortable silence engulfed us before it was cut because I remembered something.

“Is he not hard to take care of? Especially since he’s a boy? And I need to buy things Leon needs,” I said to him.

“It’s okay, Nass. He’s a trained dog, so he will not be a bother. And if you are worried about expenses, I can cover all of them.  I looked at him with furrowed eyebrows and shook my head.

“No, Keian—”

“Please. Let me take care of it.” What I was about to say was cut when his face came near mine.

“I did something wrong to Brylle, so let me…” Keian eyes have slight coldness in them, but there’s a hint that he wishes that I let him.

I stared at him for a while. I’m weighing all the possibilities that will happen.

“Fine,” he grinned, then returned his look to Brylle, who is chasing Leon.

“Thank you, Keian.” I seriously said to him

“For every—-” I wasn’t able to finish what I’m saying when he held the back of my head and brought our lips together.

He quickly moved away and stared at my eyes.

“I want to know you better, Nass. I want to know everything about you.” I bit my lips at what he said, and I stared back at his beautiful brown eyes.

“Okay, Keian” I smiled. Even though I’m smiling, I can feel my heart beating faster.

I can’t promise I will be able to tell you everything about me…

*Note:

I know I replied on reviews of other people that I’ll be updating on April 23, if it is not done and became posted the next day I’m very sorry. We all are trying to translate many chapters per day and give it to the app before the closing of their office hours. Thank you for reading the story. I deeply appreciate it.
