Chapter 20
I was about to leave when he suddenly held my hand and pulled me into his lap.
I can’t help but place my hand on his chest due to the shock as I looked into his beautiful eyes.
We stared at each other for a long time while he is still holding my hand. His hand was also rough probably because of all the training as a Mafia Boss.
He raised my hand and placed it near his lips while still looking into my eyes. I observed his lips that are near my hand. His scarlet lips…
I looked back to his eyes. Those long eyelashes…
It almost seem like I couldn’t breathe due to our bodies so close to each other.
I shifted a bit as I felt his lips on my hand. He kissed it gently with his eyes still trailed to mine.
“Thank you.” He said in a serious tone. This broke me out of my reverie and distanced myself away from him.
“U-Uhhm. You’re welcome.” I stuttered. I went to the other side of the bed and laid down. It’s still three in the morning and I’m still sleepy.
I was facing Kei’s back until I drifted off to sleep. Nothing else was on my mind except what he just did to my hand.
I hugged Brylle as tight as I could and he did the same.
I felt the hot rays of sun coming from the window as I burried my head close to Brylle who’s currently beside me.
Wait… Brylle’s beside me?!
I opened my eyes and what I first saw was a manly neck and a very manly scent. I fully looked at the figure I’m currently hugging. He’s so taller than me and very handsome. His body is so warm.
My eyes widened which made me distance myself from him. I didn’t realize I was at the end of the bed so I was literally butt-faced on the floor.
“Ow!” I yelped. That made Kei wake up and examined the surroundings.
“Nassandra!” He seemed pretty alarmed to catch me on the floor so he stood up and carried me bridal style. He placed me back on the bed.
“Are you okay?” He asked, worried. He was suddenly stunned when I shot him a glare.
“Why were we cuddling each other?” I asked in annoyance. I didn’t mean to say that he was the only one who hugged, including me. I thought it was Brylle… He and I used to hug all the time.
“I don’t know.” He reasoned out. I sighed and touched my temple. I glanced up at the clock and saw it’s eight o’clock.
My head must be aching due to being awake earlier at three am.
I looked at Kei who was just staring back at me.
I stood up and walked towards the door.
“I need to get back to work. I’ll come back here later to clean up the bathroom.” For sure the broken glass pieces are still there. He kept quiet as I left his room.
I sleepily entered the maid’s quarters.
I was greeted by Nathan’s naked body. He faced me and that’s where I notice his lower abdomen wrapped in gauze. He immediately puts on a shirt.
“Nassandra, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have dressed up here.” I may be confused but I chose to ignore it.
“I’m sorry, too, I didn’t knock.” He flashed a smile before going out of the room. I observed his figure walking away.
I immediately changed clothes and put on my maid uniform.
I returned to Kei’s room. I noticed him lying down on his bed and went back to his slumber.
I went near him and fixed the blanket around his whole body.
I went to the bathroom to clean up the broken glass pieces including the blood. I also included his entire room.
After that I went to the kitchen where I catched the three maids gossiping with each other.
“Nassandra! Have you eaten yet?” I turned to Jane and smiled.
“I’m about to.” I grabbed my breakfast and sat near them.
“Sorry, I wasn’t here last night.” They all looked at each other.
“Nah, Nassandra. Nathan told us that you were in maître Andrew’s room last night.” Jane said with a beam on her face.
“What did you guys do???” She teased. Ema nudged Jane in the elbow and scolded her.
“Hey! We’re talking about our boss here.” The smile stayed on Jane’s face as she laughed.
“Why? No matter how bossy he can be he’s still outrageously handsome. Including Maître’s friends. All of the blessings of this world are be given to them just like that?!” Jane held her face in amazement. I just laughed.
“Nothing happened.” I stated but Jane doesn’t seem to believe me and continued on teasing me.
I noticed a quiet Nathan. As I flashed a look at him, he just smiled.
We continued to talk about everything that happened here in the mansion. Everything that Jane would say would mostly be about how hot the guards were.
“Nass,” I turned to the person who just called me. Really, Nass? I saw Kei by the kitchen’s door.
The three maids bowed while I just stood straight.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“Why?” I asked. He raised a brow at me.
“Come with me.” I furrowed my eyebrows and glanced at Ema. They nodded in approvance as I stood up and followed Kei.
He held my hand as he pulled me out of the mansion.
“Where are you taking me?” He didn’t looked back at me and continued to pull me away. He just held on my hand until he kissed it…
I shook my head, trying hard to delete the moment that happened this morning.
“To the field.” And he did brought me to the training field. Wherein lined up was around fifty guards.
I saw Zeke, Steven, and Devon there topless? What’s their deal? Why aren’t they wearing any clothes?
“We always train every single guard in our mafia.” Kei explains to which I nodded. At least they’re not just focusing on their own strength. So does the other members of the mafia.
We went closer to the naked men. All of them were sweaty, showing their gorgeous bodies.
“Hi Nassandra! Are you astonished by my abs?” Steven greeted me to which I rolled my eyes at.
“No.” He distanced himself away from me and looked at Kei.
“Kei, what have you done to her? She just became wilder.” I sighed.
“What is she doing here?” Devon asked with irritance. I turned to Kei who’s walking near a table that had guns on top of them. Or are those air soft guns?
“She will treat all who will be injured. Besides, Katie and Theo are not around.” He said. This got me stunned.
“Hold on, why me? And why do I have to treat them? This is just a training ground.” I glanced at Zeke who was smirking as he walked towards me.
“Babe, you’ll see why.” He winked at me. The atmosphere suddenly became cold as I saw Kei who was giving the both of us a death glare. I pushed Zeke away which just made him laugh.
I stared at the guns they were holding.
“Are those real guns?” Devon carelessly shook his head.
“This is airsoft. Can’t you differentiate?” I irritatedly looked at him. What the heck is his problem with me?
“Don’t mind Devon. He’s naturally like that. Especially those whom he just met.” Steven whispers in my ear. I stepped away from him.
“Okay…” Kei walked to me and gestured for me to sit on the available bench there.
“Stay here.” I can’t help but give him a look. Look who just made me a dog. But I followed his order anyways.
The four of them positioned themselves at the sides of the training field. Later, as soon as Zeke whistled, a long line of guards started to line up at the start of the training course.
They climbed up the obstacles, actually they’re not just ordinary obstacles. They were advanced. I could literally say that they’re difficult.
As the first man crossed, he was suddenly rained by bullets by the three men while Kei was just watching.
So does the rest who crossed the field. Zeke and Steven seemed to be having fun with what they’re doing while Devon was serious as his eyebrows are creased.
I saw the guards avoid the bullets coming from the airsoft. Perhaps those were the rules.
I was shocked to see someone being hit by a bullet which caused him to fall from a high place. I heard him scream and for a minute there, I thought the other guys will just leave him but they were actually helping each other to make the man stand up again. Huh?
Almost all of them can parry themselves from the bullets but there are still a few who couldn’t. And everytime one of them gets hit and fall, they’re always being assisted by their companions.
Okay… This is an odd mafia.
Zeke whistled once again as there was no man left on the obstacle course.
In the end they were carrying eight men who are all injured.
I went to them and checked on their injuries one by one. It’s not that brutal. They were being brought to the infirmary to which I was planning to follow later on.
I watched Kei telling the guards to stand up before he started his sermon. Not just any sermon but he was giving tips regarding the obstacles in that training field.
Even the three men had pointed out some weaknesses at the training they just held. They were conversing with the guards so seriously.
I decided to head towards the headquarters but I kept checking on the four men.
They sure do treasure all of their members…
