The Mafia's Maid

Chapter 20

Mike's POV

I have been trying to get the person who dropped a voicemail for me and told me to reach out to them when I get it. How come now I'm the own looking for them?

I'm all worried and worked up about Isabella's whereabouts or disappearance, and then this person who proposed work to me isn't reachable all of a sudden.

The private investigator has yet to give me promising news concerning Isabella.

Also, my father is on my neck about work and me not tarnishing his name.

Everything is pissing me off even.

I decided to go out with my guys, we met up at our favourite bar place to have some drinks.

We stayed there for a while before we headed back to our respective homes. I was drunk and I didn't know what I was doing.

I got to the door and started banging it, calling out Isabella's name loudly. I did this for a while before I remembered that she wasn't with me anymore, I treated her badly and she left.

I laughed at my pathetic self. I can't believe this is me.

Isabella's POV

Lisa got back in no time with some food while Christabel arrived also with the medications

I tried to put Anna up in a sitting position so she could eat and take her medication. Christabel came to her side to sit beside her so she could feed her the soup Lisa made.

Anna ate a little, at least enough for her to be able to take her medicine.

I took her medication from Christabel and administered it to her as it was prescribed to be taken. Anna used the drug and in no time she drifted off to sleep.

I, Christabel and Lisa got up gently and left Anna alone without making a sound so we wouldn't disturb her sleep.

After we got out of the bedroom, I went to the kitchen to drop the plates Anna used to eat.

I cleaned the plates out and came out of the bathroom.

I came out to meet Lisa standing alone in the living room and when she saw me, she told me to come sit with her because she had something to discuss with me.

I was shocked as I didn't know what to expect from our discussion.

What might Lisa want to discuss with me because she did seem pretty serious? I asked her where Christabel was and she answered that she had gone to her room. She said she wanted to go back to sleep.

I said okay as I went towards her.

I went to sit beside her, awaiting what she had to say to me. Then she started,

Isabella, I have been waiting to discuss this with you but I didn't want to say this in front of anyone.

I take you as my family, Isabella, I see you as my sister and I'll not see something wrong, and then watch you fall into it.

I was beginning to get worried about the way she was talking, I couldn't seem to understand what she was saying but she continued again.

Isabella, I think I noticed something weird going on between you and Nate.

I don't know what it is but I wanted to run it by you, I wanted to tell you to be careful with how you relate with Nate.

I don't know what's going on between you two and I don't want to know but my daughter please be very careful.

Nate may seem like a calm person to you but he is very tough.

Please, my dear act carefully around Nate especially now that he has a lot of things troubling him.

I don't know how motives but I see that he is somehow particular about you and he also looks at you in a certain way.

We could never know if he just likes you genuinely or if you are a pawn in his game of chess.

I'm not saying he is a bad person, my dear, you know I told you of how he has helped me in the past but still, he is a dangerous man. He is a man who you wouldn't want to cross his path.

Isabella, please tread carefully around him, I don't wanna see you get hurt.

As Lisa said all this, I was quiet, I didn't know what to say.

You will see it clearly in her eyes that she was concerned about me. I don't know what she saw before that prompted her to speak with me but one could tell she feared that something bad might happen to me if I get too close to Nate.

I thanked her and reassured her that there was nothing between me and Nate.

She seemed glad to hear that cos a smile spread wide across her face.

She was delighted I had nothing to do with Nate.

I rose to go to my room.

I sat on my bed reminiscing on what had just happened in the living room.

Everything Lisa had said was true because Nate was indeed a dangerous man who didn't care about anything but his work.

I thought to myself that I needed to step away from Nate when he returned and that what happened between us in the study should not repeat itself.

Nate's POV

My friend, Dan the private investigator, told me Mr Miles was the one behind all the trouble my work is facing. He is a competitor who has caused me trouble in my paradise.

I asked Dan about his camp, then he gave me the location. After my discussion with Dan, he left.

I called Damien and Andrew, I told them to gather the men because we were going into our enemy's camp.

They went and gathered all the men together after which I came and told them about the situation of things.

I told them I'd gotten information about our competitor who has been troubling us for a while now.
