Maid for the Mafia Boss

It’s been five days since I left the infirmary and right now I just finished taking bathe as I am going somewhere.

“Nassandra?” I turned to Nathan, Ema, and Jane, who are just looking at me. I closed the door of the maid’s quarters and walked to them.

“Where are you going?” They probably noticed by the clothes I was wearing and the bag I’m carrying. I smiled.

“It’s my day off today. Gonna bond with my family.” Brylle pleaded for us to go out today. If I don’t let him, he might cry continuously like what he did the last tine. It’s also been a while since we last met. Our only communication was a video call.

Yesterday I asked Keian if I could be free today and he agreed.

(Flashback)

He looks up from the paper he was holding. He kinda different today especially he’s wearing glasses. It… made him even more attractive.

Wait what?

Geez, Nassandra what was that?!

“Okay, just bring Nic with you.” My eyebrows furrowed.

“Why do I have to be accompanied by Zeke? I can handle myself.” He returned his gaze back at the paper with a blank face. He always does that.

“You will bring him with you or you won’t be able to go out of my property.” He coldly said. I looked up at his direction. He sighed and turned back to me.

“I can’t go with you because I have work.” I looked at him with disbelief.

“Who said I invited you?”

“If I can just go with you, I’ll go with you. Whether you like it or not. Something bad might happen to you again like back in manang’s room. I can’t risk loosing my maid. So baby, please.” His expression softened and I had nothing to do but let myself be flustered just because he called me ‘baby.’

“O-Okay.” I stuttered.

-End of Flashback

“Nassandra, can you bring us back some food?” Jane asks while her eyes glimmered. I giggled and nodded.

“What do you want?”

“Gummy bears!” She cutely stated. Ema nudged her by the elbow.

“Seriously, Jane, you should be ashamed.” She scolds. Jane throws a glare at her.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why? She said so!” Jane defensed.

“It’s okay. Ema, Nathan, is there anything you like me to bring?” They looked at each other and suddenly turned red. Huh? What’s going on? Jane noticed what just happened and held on to my arm.

“Don’t mind them, Nassandra, they only like each other. Ayiiieee!” She teased which made the two latters glare at her.

“Jane!” Jane and I laughed at the same time.

“Okayyy, you want me to buy you both something as well?” I repeatedly asked with a smirk. They both sighed and nodded.

As Zeke stopped the car in front of our house, we flashed a smile at each other before I stepped out of the car.

“Mama!” I can’t help but beam at Brylle who’s running his way to me. I knelt down to his level and greeted him with a hug.

“Brylle!” I held him tight, I missed him so much.

“Oh, Nassandra. He’s been excited to see you since yesterday.” I glanced at Tiya who’s with William?!

I carried Brylle up and walked to the both of them… holding hands.

“Is there something I should know?” They smiled and cuddled each other. This made my jaw drop.

“He’s been asking me to be his girlfriend for a long time and of course I agreed.” Tiya explained cheerfully.

“Ever since I was a teenager, I had always admired Anne.” Said William. I chuckled as I put Tiya’s hand in my forehead.

“I’m happy for the both of you.” I said and enveloped them in a hug.

“Papa!” Brylle escapes my grip and because of his movement, he almost dropped on the ground. Good thing I steadied him and put him down before anything else could happen.

He takes small steps as he run towards Zeke who greeted and carried him up.

“Sir Zeke has been visiting us a lot.” Tiya stated which made me turn back to him. Well, he told me he’ll always check on Brylle so even if his mother is not around, his ‘father’ is there.

I watched Brylle and Zeke chasing after each other.

“And I’m thankful for that.” Tiya held both of my shoulders.

“You should leave, so you’d get to be together for a long time.” It’s still quite early but Tiya is right. I nodded as she hands Brylle’s backpack. I walked at the two gentlemen.

“Brylle! Let’s go!” He shifted direction and immediately runs to me.

” Oof” I tried to carry him but am shocked as he’s actually getting heavy. My head is quite aching, too.

Zeke walks closer to me, worried.

“Nassandra, let me carry him.” He says. I smiled at him and shook my head.

“I’m okay.” He let me and just went back to his Ferrari.

“Brylle, you’re getting heavy.” I told the child and he just smiles at me, showing all of his teeth.

“Tito Zeke brings a lot of food and all of it tastes great!” I raised a brow.

“What kind of food, baby?”

“Mostly chocolates!” I glared at Zeke’s direction. I never let Brylle eat a lot of chocolates since he’s getting dependent on it.

That’s the food people used to give him when he was living in the streets until that’s all he could ever eat. It’s too sweet and all that sugar will just make him sick.

Zeke scratched his nape.

“I’m sorry, Nassandra. Brylle loves them so much.” I sighed.

“It’s okay to give him chocolates. Just don’t make it daily.” He nodded.

“I’m sorry.” I smiled at him.

“It’s fine. Next time, don’t give him too much chocolates.” He smiles back and nodded.

He opens the car door for us and I sat next to the driver’s seat, with Brylle sitting on my lap.

“So… where are we going?” Zeke asked as soon as he sat on the driver’s seat. Both Brylle and I looked at him with shimmering eyes.

“To the mall!” He laughed as Brylle and I answered in unison.

“Okay,” He started the engine and that’s where I remembered something.

“Zeke,”

“Hmm?” He hums without glancing my way.

“Don’t you dare speed this—– WAHHHH!” I immediately held Brylle tightly in my arms as the car roared ultimately fast. I held on to the car’s door.

Zeke glances at me, smirking.

“Huh? Too late!” Brylle laughed along with him which made me quite in disbelief as I saw him smiling widely and enjoying Zeke’s speed driving.

“Zeke Nicolas Alexandre! I’ll kill you if you get us into an accident!” I screamed at the top of my lungs and all he just did was wink at me.

“I told you, Nass, I’m great at driving and, by the time we hit something or something hit us, we’ll be injured.” I glared at him before looking at the road and my heart still can’t seem to beat in a normal rate.

Whereas Brylle had his hands in the air as if he was riding on a roller coaster. Go on son, enjoy yourself.

Both of them were just laughing while here I am, all completely nervous.

“Zeke! What the heck! Put your eyes on the road!” I scolded him as his eyes are just looking at the both of us. His smirk widened as he removed one hand from the stirring wheel to let out a thumbs-up at me. This made me even more nervous.

“Zekeeeee!”

He stopped the car at a spot in the parking lot. I immediately turned my eyes to him and shot him the worst death glare I have to give in my life.

I noticed him getting scared.

“Woah, Nassandra. Your glare is scary.”

“Aishh!” I widened my eyes at him, intending to rant to him a lot of indecent words but then Brylle spoke.

“Mama! Mall! Let’s go!” He pulled on my shirt as his smile almost reached his eyes. I smiled back at him and pressed his nose.

“Okay baby.”

“Wow, from scary to sweet.” I heard Zeke mutter to himself which earned him another glare from me. I rolled my eyes before carrying Brylle out of the car.

I walked towards the entrance without bothering to wait for Zeke. Hmpph!

“Hey Nass! Wait up!” I ignored him and fastened my pace.

“Mama, what are you doing?” Brylle asked, confused. I let out a very sweet smile.

“You’re excited to go to the mall, right? So we will walk there very quickly.” His head turned sideways for a second before raising his hands in the air.

“Yey!” I giggled at Brylle’s energy.

We walked passed by the guard and that’s where I decided to wait for Zeke. What a poor old man.

He grinned as he entered but I rolled my eyes again as we walked together.

“So where do you want to go, Brylle?” I dropped him and knelt down so we were facing each other.

He looks around the place and thought.

“Can I buy new toys? Only if you want to, ma.” I smiled. He really is indeed bright.

I messed his hair playfully.

“Of course.” I stood up and grabbed on his hand.

“Just don’t buy too much, okay? You still have a lot of toys.” He nodded with a bright smile and looked through the department store.

Zeke and I looked at each other before walking inside together.

I brought him to the toys section of the department store and let him choose.

I let Zeke accompany him to assist Brylle while I went to the lady’s section and checked out some clothes.

I really like wearing great clothes. Those with good fashion. I don’t know, it became a hobby of mine to think of different combinations of clothes and look for those that suits me.

My eyes widened as I saw the price tag of the clothes I liked. Wow, geez. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a mall. Looks like clothes for the people are getting expensive.

I immediately let go of the fabric and returned back to Zeke and Brylle.

I heard them conversing.

“Papa, do you think I should pick this?” Brylle holds up a wolf stuffed toy that’s black in colour.

I’m not sure but I just saw Zeke stopped upon laying his eyes on the toy.

In the end, he smiled and knelt down to Brylle’s level.

“It’s up to you, petit garçon. Is that all that you want?” He nodded and looked at the stuffed wolf.

“Hmm. It’s enough for me. I don’t want to spend all of my mama’s money. She can’t buy things for herself and always prioritised me.” I was suddenly moved by Brylle’s words. I felt my eyes well up in tears as I felt like crying.

Zeke was left speechless.

I walked near them and smiled at Brylle.

“Baby, it’s okay if you want to buy more toys. It’s definitely fine for me. Don’t worry about me. You’re my priority.” He nods while hugging on to the stuffed toy and moved shyly.

“You’re my priority, too. You never get to buy things you like because of me.” My smile widened and knelt down as well.

“I’ll do everything for you okay? Just let me, and thank you, Brylle.” I hugged him, controlling the urge to cry.

I stood up and looked at him cheerfully again.

“I love you, ma.” He threw a flying kiss at me and I pretended to catch it and also threw back a flying kiss at him.

“I love you too, Brylle.” Zeke held both of my shoulders and carried Brylle.

“And I love the both of you, too. Now, is there anything else you wanna buy?” I was stunned at what Zeke just said and I felt myself blushing as Zeke just winked at me.

“No. This is enough.” He politely answered to which Zeke just pinched the child’s cheek.

“Okay. Let’s go to the counter?” Brylle nodded and we walked to the nearest counter.

We lined up at the cashier and that’s where I saw Zeke pulling his wallet out.

“How much?” He brightly asked the saleslady who’s ecstatic at how Zeke is in front of her.

“U-Uhhmmm. It’s 530, sir.” Zeke nodded and was about to get some money in his wallet.

I immediately stopped him which made him confused as he looked back at me.

“Let me.” His eyebrows furrowed.

“It’s alright, Nass. It’s also my gift to him.” I cleared my throat and gave him a look.

“You already forgot what you did back in the car?” I said, pertaining to his speed driving. What he did was dangerous! What if we get into an accident and hurt Brylle. Zeke stopped and looked at me with disbelief.

“Really?” He sadly asked.

“Really.” He pouted and distanced himself from the cashier to give way to me. I heard Brylle giggling.
