Maid for the Mafia Boss

” Kei’s jaw will fall off after he sees you later,” I want to ask Katie questions about what she just said, but there are things on my face. A lot of things.

We are inside a salon.

Katie and Clara brought me to a famous and expensive salon.

Later on, they started putting make-up on my face.

They curled the lower part of my dark brown hair, and the make-up on is simple and not that thick.

I smiled at my reflection in the mirror.

” Ahhhh! You’re so beautiful, Nass. Your dress suits your hair and make-up right now.”

” I agree. Kuya Kei will be so happy.” My heart’s beating skipped for a second when I heard Kei’s name.

I beamed at the two girls accompanying me.

” Thank you.”

After we finished on the parlor, the three of us ate at a restaurant inside the mall.

” Here.” Katie wiped her mouth with a handkerchief then gave me a paper.

‘I know you are in good hands right now. I’m excited to see your look today. Though you look beautiful every day, I know you’ll look even more beautiful when I see you… There’s a lot of things that happened in this place. Some are good memories but mostly bad memories. I’m sorry, baby. I promise to keep you safe forever.’

” Yieee. Ohmyghad, I’m so kinikilig.” Katie joyfully exclaimed.

(Kinikilig: A feeling of excitement, joy, or enjoyment. It has no direct english translation. It’s what a person feels whenever she’s really happy for a couple. It’s like cringing but in a good way, LOL\^_^/)

” Come on, the next destination is Marques Manufacturing’s Office.”

That’s where we exactly went to next. Katie’s the one who drove the car we’re in.

All of the building’s employees are looking at us. Particularly me. They’re all smiling.

We went up to Keian’s office, and Steven is waiting there.

” Oh, finally!” Steven stood up from sitting on Keian’s swivel chair.

” Girls, thank you for bringing Nass safely here.” Katie and Clara said their goodbyes then left.

” Here.” I reached for the paper Steven gave.

‘I want to bring you here every time I am here. Why waste time when I can be with you. But I know you’re not my secretary… Can I fire my current one and make you my secretary? I’m serious baby, let’s talk about this tomorrow. So that I can see your face all day.’

I chuckled.

I don’t really want Kei’s secretary to lose her job.

” Why doesn’t he just bring me here whenever he’s going to work…” I whispered.

” Ah, the effects of love. It’s scary. Let’s go. We still need to drive to the next destination.”

” Okay…”

After the office, we went to a super familiar place.”

I saw Brylle and Tiya Anne by the door.

Steven parked the car in front of Tiya’s house.

Other neighbors are even outside their houses and looking at us.

Brylle jumped up and down excitedly when he saw me.

When I came out of the car, the kid ran towards me and greeted me with a hug.

Brylle’s about to have his birthday again. He’s growing up fast.

” Mama! You’re here!” I tightened my embrace to him.

” Yes, baby.” He puts distance to the two of us with a smile, then he went to Tiya, who gave something to Brylle, and the kid came back to me.

” Here is Tito Kei’s love letter for you.” I patted Brylle’s head then took the paper.

‘This place is important to you, as it became important for me too. I’m thankful that you happen to end up here after being in the streets for almost two years. We all learned some things regarding our past. Let’s both move on from what happened. I hope you’ll want me to be by your side on your every step toward the future.’

I bit my lower lip as I felt my eyes filling up with tears.

I took a deep breath and returned the paper to Tiya.

She smiled at me.

” Nass.” I looked at Kuya Kayden, who came out of the house together with William.

” Let’s go. I’ll drive you to the next location,” I said goodbye to Tiya, William, and Brylle, then entered my boyfriend’s brother’s car.

” Huuuuu!” I glanced at Kuya Kayden.

” Is something wrong?” His attention turned to me.

” It’s nothing. I’m just nervous for my brother,” I just lowered my head with a smile on my face after he said that. He started the car.

As time passed by, my heartbeat kept on beating fast.

I’m not sure what’s happening or what will really happen, but I’m undoubtedly excited to see Keian.

” You know, Kei is a good man.” I grinned at Kuya Kayden.

” I know.”

” He can be cold sometimes, but that’s just the way he is. Understand his behavior. I know that there were times where you felt like you can’t tolerate him anymore but understand him still. You should—” Kuya Kayden stopped what he’s saying and listened to something in his earpiece.

” I’m just telling the truth and giving her advice. Nothing’s wrong with that.” After hearing what the person speaking on the earpiece said, Kuya Kayden laughed then raised his eyebrows at me repeatedly.

I think the one he’s talking to is Keian.

I put my hand on my chest and calmed myself down.

—

I approached Tito Andre, who was waiting for Kuya Kayden and me beside a grave.

Tito Andre’s mouth curled up upon seeing me, then he kissed my forehead.

” Hello, hija.”

” Hello, Tito.” Kuya Kayden pats my shoulder, so I turned to him.

” I’ll go first.” I nodded at him and said thank you.

I was left with Tito Andre.

I looked at the name engraved on the stone.

Karina Marques.

I squatted in front of the grave. There’s a lit candle beside it.

I looked at Tito Andre, who also squatted beside me.

He reached to give me a paper.

‘Hey. Here, I’m introducing you to my Mom. If she’s still alive, I know she’ll like you at first sight and will ask me to keep you mine forever. It’s been years since she died, I know you’re still feeling guilty at what happened to her. But I’m sure she already forgave you. If she’s still alive, she will ask me to treasure you, respect you, treat you the way you deserve. And I promise, in front of my mother and to you, that I will do all of that.’

I wiped the tears that fell down from my eyes.

Tito Andre hugged me, and I felt tears falling on my shoulder.

” Tito…”

” Stay with Kei. B-Be with him forever.” I tapped his back repeatedly and let him cry on my shoulder.

” I will, Tito. I will.”

” Thank you, Nass.”

—

” We’re here.”

Tito Andre opened the door for me as I froze at what the place we are looked like.

It’s already night because Tito Andre and I stayed for a while in the cemetery.

It looked like we are in a resort that has a very beautiful garden.

There are even lights hanging on the trees.

From where Tito Andre parked the car, there’s a path filled with rose petals and lights on either side of the way.

It’s also cold here because we are in an elevated place.

” Go on.” Tito squeezed my hand before I followed the path.

I saw Laiza waiting not far from me.

When I got close to her, she surprisingly hugged me.

” Don’t hurt Kei,” We separated, and I saw her slightly crying.

I smiled at her and wiped her wet face.

” Of course, Laiza. Don’t worry.” She sighed then gave me something.

‘Hey, baby. I want to say sorry. I’ve been saying this line more than once whenever I’ve done something wrong, and I will never stop apologizing. I’m sorry for everything. What happened last year, and all the bad things that will happen to our next years together. Though I’m sorry, I don’t regret meeting you.

Laiza nodded at me then pointed in the direction I should go in to.

I returned the paper to her and continued walking.

” Nass!” I saw Dale waving at me, so I walked directly to him.

” At last!” I peeked at his back, and there’s an extensive clearing there.

He covered what I was looking at and gave what I think is the last letter I’ll receive this day.

‘You’re here. Just a few steps and I’ll finally see you. I can finally say all the things I want to say, personally and not by papers and letters. I love you so much, Nass.

I clenched my fist because my heart’s beating really fast.

I looked up at Dale.

He pointed the clearing on his back with his hand.

Is it just me or the whole clearing I am seeing is filled with rose petals…

I looked around the place in awe.

I walked to the center of the clearing.

I looked back to where I came from, but Dale’s not there anymore.

My eyebrows furrowed.

The lights started turning off. Until the place is now completely dark and silence is enveloping the whole area.

Wait a minute…

They won’t leave me alone here, right? The staff didn’t assume that no one is here, right???

Oh no… What if they all left me here?!

I started walking back to the direction that I guessed I walked earlier in concern.

But I’m still not on my second step when someone hugged me from behind. It’s dark, so I can’t see who locked me in an embrace, but just in his perfume, I already know who it is.

” Where do you think you’re going?” After not seeing him for almost the whole day, he’s now at my back.

I shivered at his voice. His cold and deep voice that I love so much.

” Keian,” I called to his name.

” I’ve been waiting anxiously for you the whole day, baby.” His grip on me tightened.

” Me too, Kei.” He chuckled.

” I’m glad.”

” Nass,” I felt him cover my eyes with his hand.

” Trust me and just listen to my voice, okay?” I moved my head up and down.

” Okay.” He removed his hands but put on a cloth to still cover my vision.

I tensed.

” Relax…” I heaved out a sigh. And just puts my attention on Keian’s hands.

I slowly calmed down.

Keian kissed my forehead then I felt him released me from his embrace.

The heat of his presence disappeared.

I bit my lower lip.

Though feeling nervous, I waited. I know he’ll never leave me alone…

” Nassandra Pat Del Luna…” My head raised when I heard Keian’s voice, and he seemed like he’s in front of me.

” I admit that the first time we met, it’s not like the magical scenes in the movies. I honestly felt confused when I saw you, but after that, I suddenly felt curious. Who’s that maid? I’ve never seen her before? Why is my heart beating so fast every time I think of her? Those are the thoughts filling my mind every now and then ever since I saw you.” He clutched my hand.

” That’s when I started planning of making you MINE,” he even emphasized the word ‘mine.’

” Uhh, savage!” I let out a laugh when I heard what I’m guessing is Steven’s shout.

” Shut up, Steve!” I heard Kei shouted back.

” Uhh, sorry, babe. Where was I? Ahh.”

Keian sighed.

I focused my hearing on his voice.

” I’m so happy whenever you’re near, but I don’t want to be obvious, or else those bastards will tease me every now and then.” The boys cheered and shouted.

It seemed like all of those who gave me papers earlier are now here.

” Anyway, though I don’t really show it, I know you know that I love you so much. I’m getting to know you more every single day, and I’m thankful for that. If something terrible happens to us or if we have fights in the future, I promise that I’ll always make up for everything.”

Keian became silent, and I can feel myself near to the point of sobbing aloud and weeping.

” Considering that our families have known each other longer than our relationship, I think the two of us are fated. I don’t know why. God only knows why but I’m sure… I’m sure Nass that you’re the maid for me. You’re made for me.” He held my cheeks, so I touched his hands.

” I can’t promise to give you a perfect world, a perfect relationship, but I can give you me, I’m willing to give you myself, and I will do everything to give you a better life and a better world. Let’s spend our whole lives with each other. I think I can’t live without you by my side. I can promise you that I will treat you like a queen. I can promise that I will protect you and our future children.” I felt Keian coming closer to me as he touched the cloth covering my eyes.

Keian removed the cover on my eyes, and my eyesight blurred.

I repeatedly blinked, trying to make my vision clearer.

I was greeted by a smiling Keian, and some distance behind him, Zeke, Steven, Katie, Theo, Erick, Clara, Devon, Maxence, Diego, Kuya Kayden, Kuya Khalil, Tiya and Brylle, even manang and maids in the mansion are there each holding bouquet of roses with different colors.

My mouth gaped, and I started crying.

” K-Keian. I’m so sorry. I forgot your birthday.” I weep. The people behind Keian laughed at what I said. I want to glare at them, but I want to just keep my attention on Keian right now. He’s wearing a suit, and the inner clothes are color red. The same color as the dress I’m wearing.

He dried my wet face and tightly holds my hands.

Then he slowly kneeled.

My crying intensified.

” It’s okay, baby. I don’t mind you forgetting my birthday. I don’t even celebrate my own birthday. I’m just becoming sad that the one who brought me out of this world is already gone. So Nass…” He heaved out a sigh, gulped, released my hand to reach for something in his pockets.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

I wiped the tears that are continuously flowing down my face.

Keian took out a small box and opened it in front of me.

Inside the box is a simple ring. There is no big stone in its center. But looking closer, the whole ring is covered with diamond.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

I covered my mouth in shock.

That must be really, really expensive!!!

” My birthdays used to be sad, but please, make it happy by giving me this gift, Nass. The best gift I can ever receive is saying… yes, baby.” He held one of my hands.

” Will you marry me?” I saw a tear dropped on his face, and I just want to cry the whole time.

I touched his cheeks and nodded my head repeatedly.

” Yes, Keian! Yes.” The place became silent after I said that.

Huh?

Even Keian froze.

” You said yes!?” I nodded at Keian while laughing.

His eyes widened, and he immediately stood up to hug me.

The people behind him shouted happily.

” Ohmyghad. Thank you so much…” I looked at Keian’s eyes while he separated from me and removed the ring from its box. He carefully puts it on my left ring finger.

Then he kissed me passionately.

” Thank you, Nass. I love you so much.” We hugged again, and I cried on his chest because of happiness.

It will be great if you can add it:) Can you please tell me how to avoid this problem in the future? I noticed that some scenes are cut off because of some particular symbols in the document. If it’s not too much trouble. Thank you!!!
