Chapter 69
I had no choice but to process everything that’s happened in my mind.
“Nass,” I shockingly looked at Zeke, my mind still not in its clear state.
I was so flabbergasted while Diego was hugging me so tight in his arms that it also feels like he was kissing my neck. Zeke’s vision darkened as he swiftly pulled Diego away for me and throw him on the cafe’s wall.
Everyone in the shop screamed and quickly dashed out to the door.
“Bastard!” Zeke went to Diego lying on the floor and punched him in the face.
I stared at the floor…
“What are you doing here?!” Deigo smirked at Zeke, and all of a sudden, some men arrived and immediately pointed their guns at Zeke.
I noticed Maxence quickly barged into the cafe as he pointed his gun at another man also holding a weapon.
They are clearly outnumbered.
I also realized he wasn’t with Brylle.
“Maxence! Where is Brylle?!” I asked him, worried. He turned to face me.
“He’s with the guards. Don’t worry, he is safe.” I sighed in relief but still deeply worried about Brylle’s state.
Diego stood up and spitted some blood out of his mouth.
“You’re outnumbered, what are you gonna do about it?” Diego asks, smirking. Surprisingly, Zeke smirked back at him.
“In case you don’t know. Kei’s family owned this mall.” After saying that, five men made their entrance from the kitchen.
For some reason, Diego laughed his heart out.
“Look outside.” I turned to look at the window w I can see the outside of the cafe and saw Brylle there, standing, with a man pointing his gun at Brylle’s head.
My eyes widened.
“Brylle!” I faced Diego.
“Don’t drag him into this, Diego! Stop it!” He smiled at me.
“Nice acting, Pat. I’ll wait for you at the Il Massimo Impero. Let’s do the plan together.” I nervously looked back at Zeke and Maxence, whose eyes are looking at me with confusion.
That’s not true!
“You will let us go, don’t worry, we’ll leave this mall. Or if you don’t want to–” He gestured towards Brylle, who kept on crying, and I could guess that he’s shouting my name.
Seeing Brylle’s situation made me weak.
“Please, Zeke, Maxence.” Zeke’s jaw tightened as he also clenched his fists.
“Go.” Zeke angrily told Diego.
He smirked, and as agreed upon, they left the mall.
I immediately went out of the cafe and pulled Brylle away from the guard that’s holding him.
The guard smirked at me then walked away as if nothing happened.
“Mama, I’m scared.” I held him in my arms tightly.
“I’m sorry, Brylle.” I let him cry on my chest.
Even up till now, I still couldn’t believe that’s what Lolo told Diego.
And the fact that Keian and Diego are… Stepbrothers.
“Nass. Say goodbye to Brylle. You needed to head back. Maxence will take him home.” I felt his cold treatment towards me, probably because of what Diego said.
“But—” He glared at me, which made me cut off my statement.
I pulled away from Brylle’s embrace and held his cheeks.
“I need to go, Brylle. Tito Maxence will be the one to take you home. Okay?” He tiredly nods at me.
I sadly kissed him on the forehead and let Maxence carry the sleepy Brylle in his arms.
“Please, take care of him.” He gave me a blank look before nodding and leaving.
Zeke commanded something to his men before walking towards me.
I felt Zeke hold my wrist and dragged me out of the mall, bringing me to his car at the parking lot.
He harshly put me on the shotgun seat and drove the car so fast.
“Zeke—”
“Just shut up… Please.” I lowered my head at his command.
As we got back to the mansion, he told me to go to Keian’s room.
While I ignored the guard whom he ordered to look after me.
I went to the bathroom to take a bath and change into more comfortable clothes.
Then I went to the veranda and stared at nowhere.
For sure, Zeke will tell Keian everything that’s happened. And I’m sure that he wouldn’t be happy once he gets home.

I didn’t bother looking at the door when someone came to open it.
It’s already nine in the evening, and it’s completely dark outside.
I can’t leave this room, and someone is coming in to give me food to eat, so I would not go out of this quarter.
I could hear Keian taking off his suit and harshly dropped his bag on the sofa.
Still not looking at him even though I could feel him going towards the veranda.
I just felt his hands on my jaw and forced me to look up at him.
Anger could be clearly seen in his eyes. There was absolutely no trace of the sweet and caring Keian.
“Maxence and Nic told me everything that happened.” He held me tighter, and I can’t help but heave out a sigh.
He misunderstood.
“Keian, I didn’t—” I stopped speaking the minute Keian crashed his lips to mine in a not so gentle manner.
Due to the shock, I just stayed frozen on the spot.
He broke away, anger and frustration evident in his expression.
“So you let that bastard kiss you in the neck, and it looks like you enjoyed it so much.” He brushed my hair away from my neck to expose it.
He stared at some spot of my neck.
“And he left you a hickey.” He lets out a demonic laugh.
I can’t understand why is Keian reacting this way.
I wish that he’d hear out my explanation first about what happened, but he seemed blinded by anger.
He kissed me again on the lips, but this time, I returned his gesture despite the fear and pain that was pounding on my chest.
His head went down to my neck and wildly planted some kisses there.
I can’t help but clench my fists into a ball.
“Keian…” He gazed at me with a blank look.
He kissed me again and bit the lower part of my lip.
I gasped as I felt the pain of it as I saw blood dripping.
He licked the blood away, and I had no choice but to snake my arms around him.
He placed his hands on my waist and carried me.
Then he pushed me on the wall as he growled.
“You’re mine.” Fondness was very evident in his eyes-lust… not love.
I sadly let him take off his clothes.
“Strip for me.” I took a deep breath and shook my head.
“No. Keian, please. Let me explain.” His eyebrows furrowed as he put his hands around my neck.
“You will do everything that I will say, Pat. You’re just a wh*re.” I was astounded at his choice of words.
So he took off my clothes by ripping them apart.
His hands travelled all over my body. Till his face got lower and lower.
“Pat.” I shook upon hearing his voice.
I grabbed his hair to make his gaze look up at me.
“Please, don’t call me Pat. Please.”
I don’t want anyone calling me Pat, everything that happened in the past just kept coming back.
“Pat,” He calls me while looking deep into my eyes.
I closed my eyes.
“Pat, it’s okay. You will like this…”
Keian brought me to the bed and continued on what he was doing to me earlier.
I am trembling, not because of the cold temperature in the room but because of fear…
I’m seeing my grandfather in Keian, and I don’t want that to happen.
He looked up at me again.
“Tell me, Pat. What did Diego tell you? And what is this plan he’s talking about?” I looked at him and shook my head.
“What he’s saying isn’t true, Keian. Please, just stop doing this.” His jaw tightened as he drew closer to my ear.
“I want you so bad, Pat.” I let out a shaky breath.
I closed my eyes and waited for Keian to do what’s he intends to do.
A tear rolled down from my eyes as I felt pain in my lower part.
He outrageously moved, and I couldn’t help but cry.
I felt him stop, so I opened my eyes.
I saw Keian’s cold expression, but behind it was obvious worry.
“Are you okay?” He whispered, asking. I shook my head.
I am so close to seeing Lolo in Keian.
“Baby, please. Don’t become like my lolo, please.” His eyes widened as I mutter out those words.
I continued to weep. My cries were the only thing that can be heard in the room.
A few moments later, I felt Keian draw himself away from me.
He gently touched my cheeks.
“I’m so sorry, baby.” He painfully distanced himself away from me and sat at the end of the bed.
I calmed myself down first.
Telling myself that’s this guy I’m with is not Lolo.
“Keian.” He doesn’t turn to me as he just buried his face in his hands.
I sighed as I hugged him from behind.
“I’m such a jerk.” I noticed he was shaking a bit.
I made his head face me, and now he couldn’t look into my eyes.
I pressed our lips together, to which he immediately responds.
We continued what we’re doing, but Keian became gentler this time.
—
I turned to my side, intending to cuddle the one beside me, but I realized no one else was at the bed anymore.
I opened my eyes and was ultimately greeted by the rays of the sun from the glass door separating the veranda.
It’s funny how I learned to accept the sadness I’m feeling right now.
Roaming my eyes around the room, his presence was not found.
I sighed and bit my lip while standing up to go check the bathroom despite the pain I am feeling all over my body.
I wore a shirt that has a high collar to hide what’s on my neck.
Then I went down, hoping to find Keian. But I didn’t. Even when I checked every corner of the mansion.
I went inside the kitchen and saw that Jane and Ema were already there.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Good morning.” I smiled while greeting them.
“Good morning, Nass.” Jane cheerfully greets me back.
I grabbed a broom and a new bedsheet cover in the storage room in the kitchen.
I noticed the two exchanged glances.
“Are you alright, Nassandra? Why do you seem… sad?” I tried giving them a genuine smile so that they wouldn’t have to worry.
“I’m okay, don’t worry. I’ll just go clean.”
“But you haven’t eaten yet!” I pretended not to hear what Ema said and went on cleaning the house.
I also bothered to change the sheets on Keian’s bed.
While I was sweeping floors in the hallways, I saw Zeke.
With hope, I went over to him.
“Zeke, do you know where Keian?” He sharply gave me a look without answering my question.
I furrowed my eyebrows at his figure walking away.
Then I prevented myself from shedding tears.
I wanted to ask Keian what happened last night.
I kinda expected to see him the moment I woke up, but he wasn’t there.
As I continued with my chore, I also went to ask the other mafia members whenever I passed by their room. But even Steven and Laiza aren’t answering where Keian is.
After that, I decided to stay silent and stop asking the others. It seems like they’re avoiding me.
It’s already past lunchtime, but I still don’t have the appetite, I’m not feeling any hunger at all.
So I busied myself by cleaning despite my body aching all over.
“Miss Nass. Have you eaten yet?” I turned to Erick, who’s right in front of me.
I flashed him a smile and nodded.
“Ah. Yes.” His eyebrows creased. He must’ve seen right through my lie.
“I didn’t see you in the dining room or in the kitchen.”
“It’s because I ate alone. Besides, you were not here yet that time.” Since I knew he had just arrived here in the mansion.
He nodded approvingly, then left my sight.
The whole day went by, and I couldn’t talk to anybody as they just kept their distance from me.
I didn’t want to show myself at Jane and Ema since they might just get worried.
I went inside a guest bathroom since I didn’t want to stay in Keian’s room right now.
I changed my sanitary pad and underwear. Even though today’s not suppose to be my period, I was bleeding since this morning.
I just chose to ignore it since I might’ve just been shocked from last night.
I was about to turn the doorknob when I suddenly felt dizzy, and my vision was getting dark.
Leaning my body against the wall, I sat down so I wouldn’t stumble.
I felt the burning sensation of exhaustion and closed my eyes.
