Maid for the Mafia Boss

I was shocked…

And hurt.

I slowly walked towards the tent outside the house, still here on Keian’s own island.

I didn’t know what to think anymore. It’s like my mind was washed blank with the words he just said.

It’s a good thing we haven’t put away the tent yet. Our blankets and pillows are still here…

Opening the tent’s zipper, I sat down facing the direction of the sea.

There’s something wrong…

Keian’s not like that.

All I could formulate is that Nami is really that important and dear to him. She really helped him.

But I can’t stop thinking about why would Nami show herself to Keian just recently?

I know I shouldn’t think that Nami is planning something evil… I didn’t want to think she’s intending to steal Keian away from me.

I rubbed my baby bump.

I know that Keian loves me and that I love him, too.

But I’m still scared of…. losing him.

I sighed and completely went inside the tent before closing the zipper.

I’m very very sleepy but I couldn’t find the urge to doze off. My chest feels so heavy and my heart is beating at a fast pace.

The whole night, I thought about what just happened.

I don’t want to cry…

Thank the heavens that I didn’t tear up. Not until I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up with the sound of the tent’s zipper opening the place where I stayed the whole night.

I kept my eyes closed.

Just by smelling the person’s scent when he entered, I could already tell who he is…

” Baby…” My heartbeat quickened.

Keian touched my cheek and planted a kiss on my forehead.

He also traced my hair away from my face.

” I’m sorry…” He whispered.

I prevented myself not to open my eyes. Even though guilt and regret about what he said are pretty evident in his tone.

I also thought last night that if I was being put in his position, I might have just done the same thing.

I was like that with Lem… That’s why I thought of apologizing to Keian first thing in the morning.

Then I felt the cold breeze of the wind from the outside, I can’t help but chatter, and my body shook.

Keian sighed.

Then, he lay down next to me.

” Nass” he cuddled me.

He held me so tight you’d thought I’d disappear from his grasp any time.

My heart ached for him.

I casually snuggled closer to him. Pretending to sleep as I reached out for a teddy bear.

Keian sucked in a breath then immediately relaxed.

Everything around us fell silent so I drifted back to sleep.

Waking up alone, I realized I was already lying on a soft bed.

Huh?

I looked around and saw that I’m inside our room in the house. Isn’t this where Nami slept last night? Or could it be everything that happened last night was all but a hilarious dream???

Then I suddenly saw Nami’s clothes from yesterday in the laundry bag. It was just her clothes containing there.

I think Keian let Nami borrow my clothes for a while.

Nah, that’s okay.

Taking a deep breath, I stood up and walked into the bathroom.

After using the comfort room, I went out and walked towards the house’s living room.

Here I am, alone in this house…

But where’s Keian???

And Nami?

So I thought of going out, hoping to find Keian just outside the house.

He must’ve been the one who carried me back to the room.

I want to talk to him.

And I hope he is too.

” Maîtresse” I almost jumped in surprise when someone called my name out of nowhere.

I turned to Dominique with widened eyes.

” Dominique– didn’t saw you there.” That’s where I forgot to speak French huhu.

Dominique’s eyebrows creased but he didn’t bother knowing what I just said.

” Bonjour madame. Désolé … de vous surprendre (Goodmorning ma’am. Sorry… for surprising you)” I smiled at him.

” C’est bon et bonjour aussi. Au fait, savez-vous où est Keian?(It’s okay and good morning too. By the way, do you know where Keian is?)”

” Oui maîtresse, il accompagne Miss Nami en ville. Elle a dit qu’elle voulait déjà partir pour ne plus vous déranger tous les deux(Yes mistress, he’s accompanying Miss Nami in the town. She said she want to leave already so she won’t disturb the two of you anymore.)” This made me lick my lips and just nodded.

Dominique gave me a small smile.

” There’s food at the kitchen for your breakfast maîtresse” Dominique spoke to me with obvious difficulty in speaking English.

” Thank you” turning my back from him, I was about to go back inside the house when suddenly my phone made a sound.

I fished it out and saw that a text came from… Lem?

I don’t know why but I suddenly felt nervous and confused by this.

I immediately tapped on his message and saw that there’s a picture attached to it. A picture of Keian and Nami… kissing.

My mouth gaped open.

How sweet…

My eyebrows deepened as Lem’s message was followed by a video.

I could feel my hands shaking while pressing the play button.

Nami and Keian were at a distance, while the person who took the video was probably hiding himself.

With arms wrapped around each other, they drew themselves away and talked.

It’s pretty normal for friends to hug each other… right?

The video is taken too far so I couldn’t hear what they were saying to each other but it looks like Nami was bidding her farewells to Keian.

Later, Keian pecked a kiss on Nami’s cheek.

But then Nami suddenly pulled Keian which made their lips touch each other’s warmth.

Keian looked shocked and he stood there, frozen.

When he realized what was happening, Keian gently pushed Nami away with a cold expression on his face.

I saw Nami’s face dropped sadly and they both separated.

That’s where the video ended.

The video clearly shows Keian didn’t return the kiss and even pushed Nami away but that’s not exactly what my brain is focusing on…

I swallowed a lump in my throat and all of a sudden it was hard to breathe.

Inhale…

Exhale…

I stay rooted to where I was standing by the door in front of the house, my eyes starring at my phone.

*Kringg*

I closed my eyes and a tear fell down from my eye before I answered Lem’s phone call with my heart racing so fast.

” Hi, Nass…” He said in an apologetic voice.

” Why did you send me… that, Lem?” I asked with a soft voice.

He chuckled.

” To show you how dumb you are, you and Marques” his voice changed and this made my heart beat faster.

“W-What do you mean, Lemuel?”

” Hahahahaha!” I heard his demonic laugh from the other line.

The sound of his voice gave me goosebumps.

” What I mean is, soon, your loved ones will die and so are you”

I let out a shaky breath…

“Why?” I shortly asked him.

The other line got silent for a split second before Lem spoke once more.

” Well, you’re about to find out” instead of being enlightened, what he said just made me more confused. I was about to speak again but suddenly I heard an explosion, not from a far place but right here on the island itself.

” Maîtresse!” I heard Dominique shouted at the same time he crashed my body on the grassy ground while he shielded me with his body after making sure he wouldn’t squish me on the spot.

*bang*

My eyes widened upon hearing the sound of gunshots from the other direction.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I also grasped on my baby bump when suddenly I felt pain.

” Ça va, maîtresse?( Are you okay, mistresse?)” I slightly nodded.

Dominique stood up and quickly drew his gun out to shoot a man dressed up like a fisherman who was about to aim his weapon towards me.

I looked around us.

All of the men around us aren’t Keian’s men…

Almost everyone on our side is either wounded or knocked down.

Worse was the burning bodies due to the bomb that exploded. It’s probably hidden somewhere on a shed on this island.

Only a few men are on this island right now so we’re totally outnumbered, especially since Keian is not here.

My eyes roamed around our surroundings with a hitching breathe until my eyes landed on a walking figure which was Lem with a smirk plastered on his face.

Is he the mastermind of all this mess????

He was on his way towards me and Dominique, who’s already bleeding, noticed him immediately.

He gave me his gun then he ran towards Lem.

Lem shot Dominique a deathly glare, obviously annoyed at him for blocking his way to me.

Looks like Lem has no gun with him so the two men fought each other using martial arts.

I feel that something was about to hit me so I ward off but ended up only to be softly touched by a bullet on my cheek.

I looked to where the bullet had come from and ultimately shot the man on the head.

I carefully stood up and shot the other men that came along with Lem.

As soon as it was just the three of us on this island, Dominique, Lem, and myself, I stopped shooting.

Almost all of our men lay unconscious.

” Maîtresse” I turned to Dominique.

His face is bloody and it looks like he was wounded on the head.

He knelt down on his knees, and that’s where I noticed a knife was stabbed on his stomach.

Lem spitted at him and walked towards me at long last.

I raised the gun I was holding and attempted to point at him.

Then I felt smarting pain in my hand and the gun vanished from my grip.

Actually, it didn’t vanish, the gun exploded on my hand itself and now blood is dripping all over it.

Sniper…

I gasped and tried to endure the pain in my hand. Tears were also falling from my eyes which were the tears I prevented myself from falling.
