Maid for the Mafia Boss

“You’re such an idiot for taking the bait. Hahaha! Now, there are snipers everywhere that you wouldn’t easily find. Ready to kill… her.” Nathan’s voice suddenly changed then I started seeing a lot of red dots pointed at me.

My eyes widened, and I can’t breathe properly due to nervousness.

Nathan was wearing an earpiece which I guess is Tito Elia’s way of giving orders to Nathan.

“Nathan, please.” I saw Keian’s facial expression softened a bit but immediately diverted back to his signature cold face.

“So you don’t care if your ally dies! Typical of Il Massimo Impero.” Keian’s deep voice sent shivers down my spine.

“Oh. She’s not an ally. Believe me. She’s just a f—able whore. Maybe you had fun with her already?” Nathan’s grip on his gun tightened as he spoke.

My heart was pounding so hard.

All because of anger towards Tito Elias.

How dare he!

“What the f— are you saying?” Devon asked.

“Oh, do you want to know how she—”

“Stop it!” I shouted with fear. Scared that Keian and the others might figure out what happened to me in the past.

Nathan was just following Tito Elias’ order like a puppet. He’s totally the evilest person there is to exist!

“Oh. Not to mention that I’ll also kill the child.” Nathan gestured to me.

“You know. The foster one.” My eyes widened, and I tried to struggle out of Nathan’s grip, but he’s holding me so tight by the neck where I still got the wound from Tito Elias.

“Don’t you dare include the child in this mess! He doesn’t have anything to do with you!” Zeke shouted. I turned to him, and I saw how worried he is for Brylle.

Keian pointed his gun at Nathan, and all of a sudden, a few of the red lights that were on me are pointed at him.

“Leave the child alone.”

“Ohh. I can do that. But someone outside the house where he sleeps right now is eager to kill somebody.” I blinked.

I will never let these monsters harm Brylle.

I’m feeling different emotions, making my chest heavier every passing time. All I want to do now is to cry my heart out.

“Aren’t you afraid of dying?” Keian calmly but pointedly asked Nathan.

“Of course not. And by the situation right now, it looks like you’re the ones that are the disadvantage.” Because of the mixed emotions and determination to make sure that Brylle is safe, I looked at the four people in front of me.

Keian continued to converse with Nathan. I don’t know why exactly, but it seems like he had a plan before coming here.

I’m hoping that they’ll understand my signal.

Devon furrowed his eyebrows, and he looked at me.

I slightly turned my eyes to the position of a sniper at the left.

When we arrived here, I knew Tito Elias had a lot of hidden men around here.

While talking with Nathan, I tried to know where each of them are hiding.

I pointed two snipers at him, which he immediately understood.

Laiza noticed Devon and I’s secret conversation, and she raises a brow at me.

I pointed another two snipers at her.

I just certainly wish they understood it clearly.

Devon gestured something at Zeke, to which he caught up immediately.

So there are seven snipers in total.

They’re so great at understanding stuff. Why are they like that?

I looked back to Keian, whose eyes are still focused on Nathan.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

He seems to know something…

“Nathan, please. Stop all of this nonsense already.” Suddenly, his arm tightened around my neck, and I felt the pain from my wound.

Taking this as a signal.

Zeke, Devon, and Laiza faced the snipers where I told them to be and shot them one by one before pointing their guns at Nathan.

Shock was evident on the man’s face still holding me.

Kei stayed calm as if he knew that was really bound to happen.

“What the hell?!”

“We just killed your snipers. What are you gonna do?”

Nathan fell silent, which means Tito Elias fell silent, too.

“That’s enough, Tito Elias.” I said because I know he’s hearing everything that’s happening at the moment.

The four mafia members got confused at what I said.

“You killed my snipers, well then I’ll kill you—” I cut off Nathan’s statement immediately and yelled.

“Don’t you dare drag Brylle into this!” I felt my chest tighten as Nathan held my neck even tighter.

Aside from the wound, I couldn’t breathe since Nathan is literally choking me.

Keian’s eyes widened as he was about to pull the trigger.

“Wait! Keian. H-He’s being controlled. You told me that you wouldn’t kill him! It’s not his fault!” I said with difficulty. Nathan’s grip on me was so tight that my vision is getting dark itself.

Kei’s gun went steady as he was having a hard time deciding if he should shoot him or not.

“Go on, kill me! But before that, why don’t look at your phone, Nass.” Nathan finally lets go of me, which made me sit on the ground, catching my breath.

I weakly grabbed my phone where a video was sent.

As I opened it, I saw Tiya’s house from the outside.

My eyes widened.

“Don’t harm Brylle!”

Nathan looks at me, his movements are just like Tito Elias.

“Hahaha! Then you have to kill Nathan, oopss. You have to kill me ’cause I have the button that will send a signal to my boys outside your house. The button is with ‘him,’ and you know I’m an honest man, Nassandra. It’s either you kill him or let me kill your son.” I looked at Keian, and the others, who looks awfully confused at the recent events, then looked back towards Nathan.

“Nathan, please, you don’t have to do this.” I was on the verge of tears while pleading.

His expression softened, and he shook his head.

“I told you, I can’t.” He carefully raises his hand that’s holding a little gadget.

I closed my eyes and bit my lip.

I heard Zeke running towards Nathan.

I let out a shaky breath…

Then stood up, grabbed the gun from Nathan, and pointed it to his head.

He even gave a smile to me before I can pull the trigger.

“Take care of them for me, Nass.” Were his last words before his blood shed all over me.

He crashed on the grassy field. Lifeless.

I lowered ng head and dropped the gun.

My face, expressionless.

“Are you happy now?” I asked Tito, who I’m sure is still aware of what’s happening to us.

I couldn’t hear what he was saying, obviously because Nathan was his ‘messenger.’

“Nass,” I heard Zeke calling me from behind.

I turned to him with no emotion and wiped my face using the handkerchief that was in my pocket all the time.

I also looked back at Laiza, Devon, and Keian.

Kei still holds a cold expression, but I can say that he’s a little shocked at what I’ve done.

Well…

I just asked him not to kill Nathan, then afterwards, I have to kill him myself.

How ironic.

I left their sight and started walking away. Feeling empty.

But then I remembered the reason why I had to kill Nathan in the first place.

Brylle!

I gasped as I hurriedly went inside Zeke’s car.

“Hey!” I ignored his complaint and drove off to Tiya’s house.

I hope nothing terrible happened to them.

—

I parked the car in front of our house, and I immediately went out of the vehicle.

I saw the lights are still inside, so I quickly knocked on the locked door.

“Tiya!” The door swung open, and I was greeted by Tiya’s shocked face seeing me.

“Nassandra?! W-Why do you have blood all over your clothes? Geez, there were men outside lurking around the house earlier, so I couldn’t sleep.” I held both of her shoulders.

“Are you alright? Was anybody harmed? Where’s Brylle?” Her face is filled with confusion.

“He’s in your room. Wait. What exactly happened to you, Nass?” I sighed.

“It’s nothing. Please don’t bother thinking about it. Was Brylle awakened?”

“Not really.” I nodded at her and strode over to Brylle and I’s room.

He’s currently lying on the bed, hugging the stuffed toy that Zeke bought for him.

I went closer to him and held his cheeks.

“Hmmm” He pressed his cheek closer to my hand.

Then I heard Tiya came into the room.

“Are you really okay, Nassandra?” I gave Tiya a small smile.

“I’ll just sleep here for tonight.” Tiya nodded, understanding why I wanted to stay here even though she wasn’t aware of what exactly happened.

“Wash yourself first so you’d get rid of those bloody clothes.” I agreed with her.

I went to our bathroom and took a bath.

I even rushed doing so since I badly wanted Brylle in my arms.

I left my dirty clothes in the bathroom and immediately changed new ones.

I went back to Brylle’s side at the bed and cuddled him.

Events that happened earlier still weren’t leaving my head.

Tears slowly came down from my eyes due to the heavy feeling inside.

I kept on crying, but I tried muffling the sounds since I might wake Brylle up.

“Mama?” I looked at Brylle, whom I have woken up.

“I-I’m sorry, baby, I disturbed you from your sleep.” He got confused as his eyes were red from a deep slumber.

“Mama. Why are you crying? Are you okay?” My eyes widened because he looked like he was about to cry himself.

“I’m okay, Brylle. I just missed you.” I told him. He pouted and cried along with me.

“Mama, don’t cry. I don’t like it when you cry. Wahhhh!” I cuddled him even closer.

“Oh baby, I also don’t like it when you cry, so stop. I’m sorry.” A few moments later, we calmed down, so I prevented myself from crying.

He wiped my face that was wet with tears.

“I miss you, too, Mama. I love you very much!” This suddenly made me want to cry again, but I stopped myself, for he might cry as well. So I flashed a smile at him.

“I love you more, Brylle.” He scooted closer to me and pecked a kiss on my forehead.

“Go back to sleep, Brylle. I’ll be right here with you.” He nodded and closed his eyes.

I also closed my eyes and immediately fell asleep due to the amount of exhaustion for today.
