Chapter 29 THE PLAN IS STILL ON
LUCIA THE CHIEF MAID
My heart kept beating really fast as I stared at the phone.
“Uhmm..Katherina…I have to leave now. I am needed in the kitchen right away,” I said.
The countenance on her face changed the minute I said that.
“Are you going to come back here to stay with me?” She asked in a soft tone.
I wasn't certain of what Marcus would do to me amd how long it would take. Who knows if I am not being led to my kill?
“Uhm….yes, I'd come back once I'm done,” I answered.
I stood up, walked to the door and as I stepped out, I let out a sigh.
One laced with fear and uncertainty.
I picked up my phone and stare at the message once again…
The 14th quarters was where the Chef bodyguard so I was going to meet him in his personal room,a rather odd place for me to go.
It was around the mansion and I prayed that something happen that would hinder me from going.
Arai amd Joanne were back in their cell room, locked up. Mr. Deluca hates being disturbed lest he requests for it.
There was no actual excuse as to give even if I was to wave it all off. I walked slowly out, hoping someone would at least call me back it.
The rest of the maidservants seem to be gifting somewhere around the kitchen but would that be the excuse I would give Marcus for not showing up?
Of course not. He won't even buy into that at all.
I later got to the 14th quarters and the first person I saw was this weird Mafia bodyguard working for Mr. Deluca…
I remember they usually call him Duder. He was one person Inhated with passion amongst the Mafia men in the mansion.
He was already looking at him in the weirdest of ways.
“Ooh, Lucia….Did you miss your way or something? This is not the maid's quarters, young woman,” he said.
Oh wow….I didn't even the weirdo speaks. His vice sounded like that of a frog trying to escape a trap.
Where do they bring these men from??
“Please where is Mr.Marcus?” I asked.
“You serve Marcus in his quarters now? Hmm….that's lovely. I hope you get to serve me too, Lucia..” he said in an annoying way.
I rolled my eyes at him and waled away…..
I could hear his laughter from behind as I walked away, “I hope you know where you are going to, our lovely maid,” he said in a loud tone but I paid no attention and kept walking.
I finally get to this red room. It seemed different from the others and I just felt that had to be it.
I knocked just once and the door opened….Marcus Bloom right in my face!!
His face wasn't looking bright at all like he had taken a pill or something. I couldn't tell but it really does look like he was on a hard drug.
“What the fuck took you so long?” He spoke angrily.
“I…uhm…uhm…” I stammered.
He laughed out. “When you are done with the act, let me know..” he said without remorse.
“Please, Marcus….I was with Katherina, that's why. You know I have to attend to her,” I pleaded.
“This is so funny. Why are you kneeling before me? Oh please, get up. It's not yet time for that…I would tell you when you should go on your knees or too bad, I might not even need to do that…You would do that o your own when the time comes,” he uttered in a sharp tone.
“I'm here now, Marcus. I'm sorry I took long. I didn't even know you were rhe one cause no 9ne has that number except……”
“Shut it….Except who? The Boss, uhn? How funny. You forgotten there is a second man to be feared after DeLuca??? Oh….you see me as less, uhn?”
“....this is because of that shitty bitch he calls his new wife, uhn? Fkest, he dragged me in front of the old one now he brought in some bitch and he is doing the same?”
“....its so sad he never really does listen or learn…..” he uttered with a frowned face.
I couldn't comprehend where all of that was coming from but I could see the pain in his eyes as he spoke about Mr. DeLuca
“Maybe he doesn't know these things, Marcus. Have you tired speaking to him?” I interrupted.
He paused and looked at me….he smiled and I smiled back only to fade it off as quickly as I could.
“I didn't give you the permission to speak. Last time I checked, you are an ordinary maid here..Oops I forgot, the chief house maid , right?”
“Stupid!!” He spat.
“I gave you an assignment, Lucia. Why haven't I heard anything, yet? Are you playing stunts with me or what exactly is this?” He asked all of a sudden.
It wasn't an easy one.
But I delayed intentionally. How could I bring myself to do it?
“I see…..nothing to say, uhn?”
“You see, you actually remind me of the Boss's late wife. Do you know her name was changed to Lucia?”
I shook my head in response.
“Oh yes, that wasn't her name actually. She bears Reah but yeah of course, My Boss changed her name out of excitement.”
Oh.
“I wasn't really a big fan of her. The only reason I respected her was because of Boss, nothing else..” he confessed before me.
“But you know there was something about her that I liked….” He continued.
“She had a way of making me realize she is lord over me…” he chuckled as he spoke.
‘That wasn't something worth liking g her for, right? But I did…because I had every means to take her out but I didn't. I chose to keep her alive cause she was the onky thing making my Boss happy…”
“So many times, he broke the Mafia Code for her amd sometimes he would apologize for it and just sometimes, he wouldn't cause he is the Mafia Lord and no man dares question his authority….”
“I fucking loathe with her with every fibre of my being and your godforsaken name reminds me of her!!”
“But that is not why we are here now, Lucia. If you don't want me to get rid of your mother like I said….I give you just three good days to carry out the task I gave to you…”
“If you don't get it done within those three days, Lucia…….Duder will be the one to visit your mom and I am sure you know want that..”
