The Mafia's Maid

Chapter 18

Isabella's POV

As Nate stepped into the kitchen, the atmosphere became thick.

You could sense that everyone was tensed to their bones.

He spoke up and said to the women that I wasn’t there or probably he couldn't see me, he referred to them alone, especially to Lisa, as she is the oldest amongst them.

He said he will be going out with the guys and they won't be coming home until they've resolved some issues they are facing presently.

So he wants her to take charge of the house affairs and she should make sure to not miss any time to feed everyone they usually do.

He left as soon as Lisa told him that she would do everything according to how it's always been done.

We all took a deep breath as he stepped out of the kitchen.

The women have themselves some kind of worried and concerned look and you could tell there were some unspoken words under those looks.

It seem may as though this isn't the first time something like this is happening and they know the gravity or the length at which the situation of things are or might probably turn out to be.

I stood there looking at them clueless about everything.

I felt lost, Nate gave me a silent cold treatment after what had occurred in his study earlier today, I honestly didn't want to feel bad about it or even think of it because I know he is pressured presently about everything going on, but still yet, I can not but be hurt subtly about it.

I felt like an abandoned girl, whose lover left for some other girl.

Now then, these women aren't even making it easy for me as they are all just silent and moody for the reason best known to them but that I wasn't aware of entirely.

Nate's POV

I went upstairs and had a change of clothes then I did a quick pack up for I don't know when we'll be returning home because we were going for a fight and I wouldn't return until I put things back in my way.

When I came out of the house already and set to leave.

I got a call from Damien saying he was set with the men at our camp hideout and they were waiting for me.

During operations, I have a house secluded from the city life where I and the guys go and do all our dirty business. We call it the camp.

I got in the car and drove off to meet up with them at the camp.

When I arrived at the camp, I met my men and I could tell they were ready.

I was waiting for my private investigator to contact me.

He was supposed to reach out to me as soon as he found out who was behind the collapse of the construction going on at the site which also caused one of my workers to be injured.

The day has been a long day, thinking about it now, I've had rows of long days.

That's so much trouble, Andrew came to me to ask if I'll be needing anything. He said he was going to get some alcohol and food for the men.

When he asked me, I knew what he meant immediately.

Normally on a night like this, before a fight, we all get drunk, wasted and nasty with strippers to also come and dance and display all sorts.

I'm one who usually sleeps with girls as I've not been interested in love. I just spent time with several girls, no commitment to any of them but as he asked now, my mind went to Isabella and I thought of her immediately.

I just told Andrew I didn't want any girls for myself tonight, I just wanted to be alone,

Isabella has been making me rethink my actions recently.

I've been watching my movements since she came around. That's so unlike me.

He left then I stepped into my room leaving the men out to have their fun. I drank myself to a stupor in my room alone until I became wasted.

I slept off and woke up late in the afternoon.

The sun was almost down when I woke up.

I came out of my room to drink water.

I saw that the men were already up and they were gathered in the living room.

Andrew stood up and followed me as I went to get water in the kitchen.

What's the matter again?

Is the site manager fine?

Yes, boss, he is fine.

I just wanted to tell you that the investigator was here earlier.

He said he had ringed your phone severally but you didn't answer.

We told him you were good, you were only sleeping.

Then he promised to come back, but then again he said you should reach out to him if you wake up before he comes back.

Okay then, did he say anything to you? I asked him but he said he did not say anything to them so I left the kitchen after drinking my water and I returned to my room upstairs to get my phone.

I had several missed calls on my phone and I also saw that Mike had reached out to me.

I hope that's a good thing I thought to myself.

I called my private investigator, his name is Dan Felan.

Dan has been my trusted source in a long time and he also has the best hacking system in the country.

Nothing is missing that he can't find. Nothing can seem to hide from him. I told him I was aware he had come earlier.

He said he was close by so we will talk better when we see each other in person.

Since he was coming I thought to do a quick bath, I needed to freshen up before he arrived.

I came out of the bathroom after having a bath and put on fresh clothes.

I felt hungry then I remembered I'd not eaten well in days and I drank on an empty stomach last night.

When I got back downstairs I saw that they had fixed up something for me to eat…by the time I was done eating Dan arrived.

We exchanged pleasantries and I told my guys to excuse us.

I took him to another place in the house where we could discuss properly with ourselves without being disturbed.

He revealed to me that my competitor on the current project was the one who sent an insider to my house disguised as one of my

workers. He also said it was the same person who was the cause of the collapse of the construction site yesterday.

My head blew up and rage filled me

up.

I was going to take revenge and nobody will stop me.
