The Mafia's Maid

Chapter 17

Isabella's POV

I stepped far away from Nate trying to phantom what just happened, how I got myself in that situation and how to get out of it.

I tried to keep a steady composure. All the while Nate's eyes were on me but I care less.

I just wanted to leave there at that moment. We said nothing to each other. The knock came again, even louder this time, then Nate eventually answered.

He went to the door then he blocked the other person from coming in or seeing inside. I smiled at the consideration as he thought of me when he did this.

It was Damien who was at the door and the way he was speaking to Nate it seemed as though the matter was urgent.

I heard him say they should go outside the house to discuss the issue. I was sure he did this for me to have space to leave the study without being seen.

I left the study after a few minutes, I opened the door gently so it didn't make any sound then tiptoed to my room.

I was glad I made it to my room without being caught by anyone.

Nate's POV

As I looked closely at Isabella, I had a burning desire to kiss her. I couldn't resist.

I asked her if I could, but she didn't move nor did she refuse, instead, she shook her head in favour of my question.

I grabbed her with my right hand and pulled her close by her waist while my left hand went to her cheeks as I slowly brought my lips down to hers.

The feeling was divine. I have never felt this way before. She has a small stature compared to my stature, so my hand could wrap around her waist comfortably.

The way she responded to my kisses turned me on so much.

I took it a step further, I moved my left hand to her hair digging my way through the hair while I moved my right hand to her low back; her butt.

I thought she might react against this new development but she didn't, instead, she was more into the kiss following my every movement.

I was about to change our position and take it about further when I heard a knock on the door, I ignored it and we continued our kissing until the knock came again. This made us jump apart.

I could tell regret on Isabella's face. Or stepped far away from me but my eyes didn't leave her.

The knock came for the third time, this time a bit louder I forgot to take my eyes off Isabella and go check who was at the door.

I opened the door, only to meet Damien trying to come in, I blocked him from stepping in.

I didn't want him to see Isabella inside the study, so I came outside the study and closed the door. I told him we should go talk outside.

I looked at his face wasn't very good. He looked very troubled like something terrible had happened.

We went out together to give room for Isabella to leave.

I studied his face and I knew that something was wrong.

What is the matter with you?

I didn't have time to prepare for what came from Damien's mouth.

Boss, the construction going on at the site has collapsed.

My head flew hot, collapsed? What do you mean collapsed?

He said he was just coming from the site as one of the construction workers called him repeatedly that they have issues at the site, and that he come urgently. So when he got to the site he found out that the construction had stopped, the building collapsed and the site manager got injured in the process.

This news came to me as a shock and I was very mad.

Who dares do that to my work?

I went back to my room angrily dressed up quickly dashed back outside, Damien already had the car set for us to move. I got in and we drove off.

When I got to the site it was a total mess there.

The situation of things was completely an eyesaw.

Damien gather all the men and you all should get ready for war. I said to him.

I questioned the workers that were still on site how the manager was doing. The information was nice I had to go to the hospital to see for myself.

When I got to the hospital, I checked for him and I got to know that he was receiving treatment.

He was now stable so I left for the site again.

I made some calls, and then I continued. I told him the situation of things. I must get to the bottom of all this.

It was so glaring that someone intentionally brought down the building.

I am even more pissed because that they got one of my workers injured.

Isabella POV

I don't know how to face Nate again.

What will I do now? I stayed in my room for a while before I tried to shake off my mood.

I went downstairs and met with Anna.

She was going into the kitchen so I followed her.

When we got into the kitchen, the atmosphere was down.

Christabel then spoke up. She said that there is an issue with Nate's ongoing construction and it is very bad.

That's probably what Damien came to tell Nate about earlier in the study. I hope everything is fine, I thought.

As if Christabel heard my thoughts she answered, she said that the site manager was injured in the process and has been rushed to the hospital so he is receiving treatment presently.

Everyone was shocked at this news.

Lisa said the house should be in order because Nate would be very mad and any little issue would trigger him.

He was very mad at the deceitful worker who had refused to confess who he was working for that morning. Imagine what will be going through his head right now.

Everyone needs to be on their best behaviour.

The cooking in the kitchen took long even though everyone pitched in.

They always cook three square meals in this house that's why all the ladies are mostly in the kitchen. The food is not only meant for the people in the house but they also cook for the less privileged and take food to them always…as much as they can.

By the time cooking was done, it was nighttime, we heard the living room door open and we wondered who it was because there was nobody else at home besides us.

In n

o time, the kitchen door opened and Nate came in.
