Chapter 23
Thrid Person’s POV
As soon as Keiranz accepted Zeke’s call, he immediately runs to the headquarters. He knows it when something is wrong the minute Nic’s voice was trembling real quick.
His men wondered what made him run so fast but he didn’t care about them.
He’s worried that something bad might’ve happened to manang or worse.
On the way, he met with Erick and Maxence which made him stop in his tracks.
“Kei, what’s the matter?” Erick asked in a serious tone. Keiranz shook his head and went to the side where two people are blocking the way to manang’s room.
The two men looked at each other and decided to follow where their boss is heading to.
Keiranz hasn’t entered the room yet when he heard a man screaming.
His eyes widened, hoping that it wasn’t Zeke whom he just heard.
As he entered the room, he was ultimately greeted by a wall full of blood and messy things everywhere.
Just like Zeke, he first glances at manang’s bed where the old lady is still sleeping peacefully. Until he noticed an unconscious woman by her bedside.
This made Keiranz’s heart beat frantically.
“Nassandra?” He weakly called.
“Who are you?” He looked to the side and saw Zeke holding a man. Zeke’s eyes were furious that he obviously broke the man’s arm and still held him captive.
Keiranz fumed his fist in anger as his expression darkened.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Nic,” Zeke turned to Kei. Judging the look on his face, he was really terrified of Kei himself even though he wasn’t at all responsible for the chaos.
“I arrived here with the same scenery. It looks like Nassandra stopped this man from doing a crime.” Zeke’s eyes widened as he remembered Nassandra was still unconscious.
He stood up to walk towards the woman but Keiranz was already there, still wearing a dark expression.
Kei held both of Nassandra’s cheeks. She’s getting pale due to all the blood she lost.
“What the—-” As the other two men entered the room, Maxence couldn’t help but curse.
Kei’s pointy eyes looked at his three companions.
“Erick, bring the bastard to the room. Nic and Maxence, I want you to know every single detail about that man.” He commanded.
The three men stood up straight.
“Yes, Alpha.” Kei started to carry Nassandra in his arms and walked out of the room.
“Also tell the guards to transfer manang in another room and kindly clean up all this mess, as well.” Kei turned to Zeke.
“Also tell the CO who covered up for Felix that I’m summoning all of the guards to the field. I want them to be there by 5:00 pm sharp.” He gave emphasis to every word. Zeke nodded in reassurance.
“Take care of Nassandra.” Kei was carrying a cold expression as he completely left the room.
“I will.” Then he brings her to a surgery room in the infirmary.
He needed to stop the bleeding.
Since he know a few things about medicine, he temporarily wrapped up her wounds on its head.
He also cleaned her other body wounds that were caused by the whip.
Every wound Keiranz would see on Nassandra’s body made him want to kill the person behind them even more.
Nassandra is just a woman who is working as a maid and but she was involved in the mafia.
After cleaning her wounds, Kei stared at Nassandra’s face.
‘She’s so brave’ Kei thought to himself. If it weren’t for her, manang wouldn’t be saved. Although he doesn’t know anything about the incident, he can’t help but blame himself for Nassandra’s situation.
Kei was surprised to see a tear falling from the woman’s eye. He wipes it away and placed his hand on her cheek for a while.
He doesn’t know why his heart kept racing every time he is with the maid. That happy feeling he gets whenever he sees the lady and every time she’s near him.
That’s why he always made her stay wherever he is.
Nassandra’s brown eyes were effortlessly beautiful for him. Add up her long eyelashes and natural reddish lips.
He could stare at her face all day but the thing is, Nassandra might not feel the same after all, he thought.
Who would love a man like him? If a woman goes to him they’re either after his money or just wanted his looks and body.
He don’t know what’s with this girl but he always thinks about her. Ever since she ran out of the room and jumped on the pool.
He just felt like he needed to protect her.
No matter how irritated Nassandra gets to him, she doesn’t leave him and still treats him the same. Bossy and malicious.
Kei carried Nassandra in his arms again like a newly wedded couple and brought her to a clean, nice room.
Her lips were also pale, unlike the usual ones he would always see whenever Nassandra isn’t looking.
Kei grabbed his phone and called Katie.
“Oh, hello Kei. Is there a problem? I just came back from Maldives.” Kei sighed. While the twins were gone, he had no choice but to make Nassandra a doctor for the injured guards since the two went on vacation.
“Where are you right now?” He glanced at the unconscious Nassandra.
“Still at the airport.” Kei comes closer to the sleeping figure and tucks a blanket up to her chest.
“Good. Go straight—-” Keiranz stopped as he was shocked at Nassandra’s sudden movement.
She grabbed on Kei’s hand and held it very tight. Her hands were ice cold, unlike his warm ones.
“What? Hello? Kei?” He realized he’s still on the phone with Katie. He shook his head, not knowing if he should prevent himself from smiling.
So he held the lady’s hand tight also.
“Sorry, can you go here immediately? Something happened.” He coldly said. He trusts Erick would unravel the secrets and the truth about the man from manang’s room.
Erick was their master of interrogation. He could get the truth out of anybody.
“Copy, Alpha.” He dropped the call and stared at his and Nassandra’s hands still intertwined with each other.
He pulled a chair and sat at Nassandra’s bedside.
His eyes were fixated on his maid while their hands are still together.
He was still blaming himself.
The lady was harmed because of him, and he wasn’t there by her side to protect her.
He remembers the time where he was ignoring Nassandra. He was scared that he might never hear her voice again.
He started ignoring her again when everything Nassandra said about the mafia was correct. Yes, she was just asking. But he doesn’t want the truth to affect his perspective of life, of what happened. Every preparations, every coping he did would be ruined, for his mother that was killed by another mafia.
Gently removing his hand from Nassandra’s grip, he clenched his fists.
“Hmmph,” This made him looked at the lady lying in bed, moaning in pain. Thinking she was hurt at the fact that Kei let go of her hand.
Running his hands through his hair in frustration, he sighed. Thinking if he should hold her hand back.
Their hands slowly finds it way towards each other which made the both of them sigh in peace as their hands held each other.
Quite short chapter hehe\^_^/
