Maid for the Mafia Boss

While I was just standing there, two men came wearing a black suit.

“Maître?” They both said at the same time.

“Call Katie and Theo now!” He quickly ordered. One guard pressed a smartwatch.

“Where are the other guards?” He angrily complained. Both of the guards looked at each other.

“The others have fainted and are injured.” Maître Andrew clenched his fist.

The lights are back on and Zeke arrived at the kitchen along with a young girl that almost looked like him. I got to clearly see that it was manang laying on the floor with a wound on his head. Blood was dripping on where her body was.

“Manang,” Zeke stated. Maître Andrew was holding onto her with a furious look on his face.

“Shit, her pulse is getting weak!” He shouted and dropped manang on the floor. Zeke knelt down beside the old lady as he held both of her cheeks, muttering the word ‘no.’

“Where is the freaking doctor?!” Maître Andrew outrageously pointed at the guards.

“They’re on their way, maître.” Said the other.

“Tell them to hurry up!” He yelled impatiently.

My three fellow maids arrived at the scene which made Jane scream in horror.

“Manang…” Nathan muttered, staring at her body. They all started to cry which made Maître Andrew shot a glare at us.

“Get them out of here.” He blankly said. The guards went near us to shoo us away from the room. The three followed crying while I just stood still. They all told me to leave but I stay glued on my spot.

“No, I can save her.” I said. All of their heads turned to me whereas Maître Andrew raised a brow.

“Get out of here!” He yelled so the guards tried to pull me away but I try to escape their grip.

“I can save her!”

“Shut up.” I didn’t let my boss’ words get through me.

“I can save her life!” I repeated.

“You are just a freaking maid who wants to say that she can save someone when she really can’t. How are you going to save her? By God?!” He angrily said which made me stop. What did he just say?

I clenched my fist.

“I’m sure the doctor that you called is still far away. They wouldn’t make it in time. It’ll be too late and manang will run out of blood and you’ll be feeling no air coming out of her.” I irritatedly worded. I turned to look at Zeke, wishing that he’ll believe me.

“Get out—-”

“Kei, please.” Andrew shot a look at Zeke.

“Give her a chance.” He was already crying while manang was in his arms. Andrew shot me a glare.

“If you kill her—-I swear. You’ll be experiencing the same fate.” He threatens. I nodded and went closer to the old lady.

Have I ever mentioned that my parents are doctors? Everytime they do surgery, they would let me watch.

I observed the wound on her head as it was still bleeding. Getting my handkerchief from the pocket of my shorts, I carefully used it to cover the wound.

“Looks like something hit her hard.” I studied Manang’s body to check if she had any more wounds.

I noticed a dagger near her right hand. It reminded me of the guy I saw earlier at the window.

I looked at Zeke.

“We needed to cover up her wounds immediately. We also needed to check if there’s internal bleeding or other more injury on her head.” The two men looked at each other and Andrew heaved out a sigh.

“Let’s move her to the infirmary.” Zeke nodded and flashed a look at me.

“You think you can do that?”

“If I only had the tools, I can.” Zeke repeatedly nodded before carrying manang.

“It’s like a hospital. There’s a surgery room and such.” I followed him where we went to their headquarters which was beside the guard’s resthouse.

When we arrived inside, I was shocked since it actually looked like we’re in the hospital. There are guards on the beds that are in the process of recovery

We went inside the room where there’s a complete set of equipment for surgery.

I put on a mask and gloves since it was the only available personal protection equipment there. I walked closer to the unconscious woman.

Manang Vilma was transferred to a vacant room where there is a heart monitor attached to her. She’s now stabled after I successfully covered her wound. No internal bleedings but her brain was a little damaged.

She’s in a coma and I don’t have the slightest idea on when she’ll wake up. The Lewis siblings had just arrived and if we waited for them, we wouldn’t guarantee Manang’s safety.

All of us are now in the surgery room as I watched them fight one another.

“Kei! We were in our resort! It will take five hours to drive from there going here!” Katie replied after being labelled slowpoke by Andrew. He stopped.

“Also, Keiranz. Don’t you know first aid?! You took a pre-med course in France!” Andrew brushed his hair back in frustration. I’ll just call him Andrew in my thoughts. He’ll never know.

“Never did it cross your mind that you should stop the bleeding.” Zeke just lowered his head in silence. Andrew rolled his eyes and sighed.

“Fine, I’m sorry. I panicked, okay?” Katie’s male companion couldn’t help but gaze upon Andrew. What was his name again? Theo?

“You panicked?” The guy said in disbelief which made his companion close her eyes in distress.

“If it wasn’t for your maid, manang could’ve died. You don’t panic, Kei.” Andrew stepped forward towards Theo with a dark expression. Theo looked scared as he took a step back. Andrew held him by the collar and pulled him up.

“Don’t you dare talk to me that way.” He emphasized every word. I was stunned at how everyone is pretending not to see Theo’s situation. Aren’t they going to do something? I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

“Y-Yes, Maître.” Theo stuttered. Andrew dropped him which got the poor man butthead on the floor. He turned to look at Katie.

“How is she?”

“She is fine. Nassandra’s done a great job. Everything she told you about manang is accurate.” They all turned their heads towards me which made me want to disappear in the moment. He went near me with eyebrows crossed and held my arms tight.

“Kei!” Zeke shouted. Andrew pulled me outside the room and brought me to one of their rooms here in their headquarters.

“Stay here, maid.” I had no choice as Andrew locked the door which can’t be opened from the inside.

I didn’t bother to go out and slumped my body on a wall. I’m so tired. I haven’t slept a wink.

I laid down on a bed here in the room and closed my eyes.

“You will stay here!” I looked at the old man holding a gun. I cried as I went to him and got down on my knees.

“Please, have mercy on them. They didn’t do anything wrong.” A creepy smirk crawled on his face.

“Your family had done so much, Pat. They deserve to die and you will watch them yell for help.” My cries got louder as I held the old man’s hand.

“Please, let me be with them. If you’re going to kill them, might as well, kill me too.” The old man held both of my cheeks which made me want to remove my face from his hands.

“You are my precious granddaughter, Pat. You’ve been with me since you are a kid. I trained you, I would never kill you.” He sweetly remarked. I held his filthy hands off my face.

“If you can’t kill me, how can you kill your own child!” His expression shifted to an outraged one as he held my jaw.

“He is not my son. I don’t have a child who’s a traitor!” He lets go of me and pushed me on a wall.

“I’ll kill them, you’ll wait for their dead bodies here.” I walked towards the door and tried to escape but he immediately turned around a pointed a gun at me.

I made my distance from the door and watched until the old man went out.

I spent all night in that room, crying. Wondering if my family is still alive. I don’t know but I can imagine what my grandfather will do to them. I can’t stop thinking…

Prisoning myself here in the room wouldn’t help the situation. I wanted to do something but I can’t…I can’t.

I opened my eyes as I felt the touch of the ray of sunshine on my cheek. The memories came back in my dream which made me tear up.

I heard someone opening the door so I wiped them away.

A man came in, probably a guard with a tray of food in hand. He observed me for a while before placing the tray on a desk here in the room.

“Uhmmm-what. What time is it?” I asked him. He looked at me expressionless.

“11:45” I was surprised since it’s a rare occasion that I’d wake up in this time. He was about to leave when I stopped him.

“When am I going to get out of here?”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Maître Andrew will come here later to speak with you. Whatever happens to you will be his decision.” I suddenly felt nervous at what he said. This made me think.

Whatever happens to me…?
