Chapter 39
“Ba-bye Mama!!!” I waved back at Brylle, who is inside the car. Zeke approached us.
“Don’t you dare speed up your car Nicolas. You may get into an accident.” I smirked at Zeke when Keian warned him. He shook his head then held it like he has a lot of problems.
“I told y’all, I am a great driver. You know that, Kei. Chill guys—”
“If you want to see again what happened yesterday, then go on. Do what you want,” Keian coldly said. Zeke squinted his eyes at Keian.
“Okay, fine,” he grinned contentedly and pushed Zeke towards his car.
“Go home now. Tiya is waiting for him” Zeke rolled his eyes before saying goodbye and then got inside the car.
Still smiling, I waved at Zeke’s moving car.”Arf!” I glanced at Leon that is seated between Keian and me.
I pat his head.
Even though Keian said that the dog is Brylle’s, I didn’t let it go home because I’m sure we will bother Tiya more. Another one is that Tiya has a lung problem.
Bringing Leon home may danger her.”Nassandra” I looked at Keian when he called me. He looked at me smiling.”Hmm?””I’ll go to my study,” he said, then kissed my forehead.
I looked at his figure getting farther away from me, confused. Luh? It seems like he’s going somewhere far. I blinked my eyes. I sat so I can be level with Leon. Even when I’m sitting, Leon is still taller than me…
“Que devrions nous faire Leon? (What should we do, Leon?)” I’m thinking of what should be the answer to my answer. I’m pretty sure the dog won’t answer me. He is said to only understand the French language. Really very sophisticated. He’s even fresh from France!
“Arf!” My face was almost engulfed when he barked. He went to my back and tried to push me.
Okayyy, what’s happening? I went to his side so he can’t push me.”Qu’Est-ce que c’est? (What is it?)” he barked again, then went inside the mansion, which I followed.
He brought me to the kitchen at I noticed that the place was not cleaned yet since we just finished eating dinner.
I looked at Leon.
“You want me to clean?” I asked him, shocked. I was more shocked when he barked.
Is that a yes? Wait, is it really a yes? I blinked my eyes at the dog.
Even him is ordering me? What? He even has the traits of his owner? I just shook my head and went to the sink.
“Oui Maitre (Yes, master)” and here I am, cleaning.
It’s just that the three are not here. Keian gave them a special day off today. It’s fine with me, in the first place, it’s the very reason why I’m here. Leon just sat near the sink while I’m washing dishes.
I searched Alaskan Malamute a while ago. It said that they are a little difficult to train, and they are mostly the dogs that pull sleds in snowy places. You can just search for other info about them. Keian mentioned that they have different breeds of dogs in France since his mom likes them. Every single one of their dogs is trained.
Apparently, Leon’s mother is Keian’s pet ever since he’s a child. And the dog has the nickname of ‘Alpha.’
“Arf!”
“Why?” I looked at Leon, who laid down on my feet then rolled over.
It’s kinda cute since he’s pretty big and has thick fur. I laughed at what he did, then I squatted to stroke his stomach.
Later on, he sat and licked my face. Oh wow. I’m now soaked.
“Ewww” I looked up to see who said that.
I saw Laiza, who is resting at the entrance of the kitchen with her arms crossed at her chest. What is her problem? I’m didn’t do anything.
I sighed then stood up to continue washing. Leon then tilted his head at Laiza. Will he follow me if I told him to chase Laiza? But never mind, I don’t want to be brutal right now.
“What is it, maitresse?” I asked with emphasis. I saw her roll her eyes at me, and after that, she stood straight.
“Ever since the first time I saw you, I never liked you. Then that worsened because it seems like Zeke and Steven were closer to you, especially Kei” My eyebrow raised at what she said. It’s okay because she can’t see me since my back is facing her.
“I know you are hiding something from Kei, and if the time comes that we see the truth, don’t expect to have someone to ask for help. We hate liars-especially people who are hiding a lot.” I bit my lips and tightened my hold on the sponge at my hands.
“So while it’s still early, leave this household. You don’t belong—-”
“What is my difference from people like you?”
“Excuse me?” she asked a little disgustingly.
I faced her and looked at her face bravely.
“I also know that all of you are hiding something. That’s why all of you are in this mafia, right? All of you have a reason. I don’t know if I will ever find out what your secrets are. I won’t find out ’cause what is it for? Will it be good for me? If Keian thought of telling me everything about him, then I will listen. I’m here to work. Did I intend to be involved with your mafia?”
” And is it me you are calling a liar? Then what is it that you did last night? Judging people without even knowing their story? Dragging an innocent child into danger? Making up stories that are not true? If I am hiding something, how do I differ from you?” Ha! I won’t lose to this girl!
She smirked and approached me. She then got her dagger and placed it on my neck.
“Maybe your secret is worse than mine. It’s better to kill you right here, right now.” Her expression turned cold, then she pressed the dagger more in my neck. I can even feel that it’s starting to wound.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
” Arf! Arf!” I even heard Leon’s bark and his growl.
” Shut up!” she looked at the dog then turned back at me.
” You don’t belong here. Maybe next month, you won’t be here anymore. Leave before I find a way to make you leave” I returned her look with another cold expression.
“Are—”
“F—ing let go of her, Morales” I looked at Keian, who is beside Laiza and holding her right wrist, which is holding the knife in my neck tightly. He has a very dark expression and looks like he’s ready to kill.
Laiza immediately withdrew her dagger and moved away from me, holding her arms.
“I already talked to you, Laiza. What do you think you’re doing?” Keian coldly asked. Laiza’s eyes widened, and she seems nervous.
“I’m just reminding her, Kei. I-I didn’t—” Laiza stopped talking when Keian came to her with fists clenched.
“Stop it, Keian,” I said before Kei got to do something. They then both looked at me.
“She’s your friend,” Keian stared at me blankly.
After a while, he approached me and pulled me to what I think is the stairs.
I saw that Leon is just following us while Keian is dragging me.
I just sighed.
Keian brought me to his room, let me sit on his bed before slamming the door.
He walked in front of me, then put his hand on my chin and raised it. His eyes squinted when he saw the wound because of Laiza’s dagger.
“Arghhh!” he pulled his hair backward then sat beside me.
“I’m sorry about Laiza” he looked at my eyes, then his expression changed suddenly. It softened.
“It’s okay, Keian. I can handle myself” he raised his eyebrows at me.
“If you can take care of yourself, then why do you f—ing have a wound?” I rolled my eyes then felt the wound. I winced when my hand neared it. I suddenly felt a very dark aura coming from the man beside me.
I glared at him then hit the back of his head.
“Stop it, Keian. I’m alright.” I stood up to go to the bathroom and to clean my wound. I noticed that he followed me and stood beside me. His eyes are still cold when he touched my chin to look at the wound on my neck.
“Let me” I let him be the one to clean my wound while I watch him seriously wiping anti-septic at my neck.
“Zeke and the others are literally scared of you, Keian,” I said softly.
He glanced at my eyes for a moment before going back to what he is doing.”Good,” he said coldly, so my eyebrows furrowed.
“They are your friends” He then ‘tsk.’
“Yes. But they are still a member of my mafia, and I’m their boss. They need to be scared of me” he sighed then after he moved away from me since he’s done cleaning my wound. His cold expression vanished when we stared at each other. He touched my cheeks then smiled.
“You don’t need to involve yourself in my mafia’s problem. Come on. Let’s just talk in the bed or perhaps, cuddle” I suddenly turned red at what he said. What’s wrong with this man.
He noticed it and laughed, then pulled me back to the bed.
“I want to know more about you, Nassandra.” He lay down sideways while his hands support his head. (You guys get it?)I copied his position, so now we are facing each other.
“Okay.” He smiled more.
“Let’s visit your house tomorrow,” he stated. I instantly smiled at what he said and nodded.
After that, we talked more, and it took some hours. We asked each other about or likes, favorites, etc. In the end, we slept together in his fragrant bed. He’s already asleep, and it’s already dark.
But I can’t sleep because I’m thinking about what happened a while ago.
“Hayyyy,” I sighed loudly. With my eyes widened, I looked at Keian that moved slightly.
“Sleep,” he ordered, then placed his arm over my body.
“Hmmm” is my only answer to him. Before I sleep, I stared at his face.
“I’m sorry, you can’t know everything about me,” I said quietly. I don’t know if he’s awake and he heard what I said, but he tightened his hold on me.
