Chapter 116

Mario grabbed her back neck, making her whimper as the bag dropped from her hand.

"I asked you a fucking question," he snarled.

"I....I am...sor......" She trailed off as her eyes lost balance and so did her feet, making Mario release her neck quickly, and she landed on the floor.

Mario stared at her, dumbfounded.

"What the hell,"

HALF AN HOUR LATER.......

"Is she going to die or something?" Mario asked.

Alfredo scoffed. "No, she is not. What kind of question is that?"

Mario is standing aside with his two hands in his pocket, looking at Alfredo, who is examining Liliana, who is on Mario's bed and still unconscious.

"I mean you should have seen the way she fainted. I thought I had killed her," Mario said.

Alfredo looked at him. "How so?"

Mario scoffed slightly. "She broke my expensive bottle of whiskey. Can you believe that?"

Alfredo shook his head, facing his work.

"She is such a pathetic maid who keeps annoying me," Mario said.

"Well, maybe you should learn how to treat your maid properly. They are humans like you, you know," Alfredo said.

Mario rolled his eyes, looking away.

"But, it wasn't you. She is going down with a fever. Perhaps you triggered it, and it resulted in her fainting," Alfredo said, making Mario look at him.

"Fever,"

"Yes."

Mario scoffed.

"Be nice to your maids, Mario. It won't take anything to do that," Alfredo said.

"Fine. I heard you."

Alfredo furrowed his brows a bit. "You feel quite more bothered about this than I expected. I thought, as a Mafia man, killing people is not a big deal for you."

Mario scoffed. "Seriously, uncle, you can't compare this to the bastards we deal with. She is a pathetic innocent maid," he said, gesturing at her.

"Oh she is innocent now?" Alfredo teased, making Mario heave a sigh.

Alfredo chuckled. "I understand. She needs to rest, so let her rest and when she wakes up, give her meds."

"What?" Mario asked with furrowed brows.

"You heard me."

"Why the fuck should I do that?" Mario asked.

"Because you caused this," Alfredo said.

Mario scoffed. "You just said that....."

"Yeah I know. Just do it. It is the least you could do after scaring her," Alfredo said, making Mario sigh as he looked at Liliana.

She is still unconscious.

A slight knock came on the door, and it opened instantly, revealing Camilla dressed in a black robe and a smile.

Mario's face twitched.

Camilla's smile fell the minute she saw Liliana on Mario's bed.

"The fuck?" She muttered.

Alfredo looked between Mario and Camilla.

Camilla's blood boiled while scowling at unconscious Liliana angrily.

"What is this bitch doing here?" Camilla almost yelled while walking closer to the bed and, regardless of Alfredo's presence, making him raise his brows.

"Camilla, get the fuck out," Mario said calmly.

"Not until this bitch leaves here. Why is she on your bed?!" She yelled in Mario's face.

Alfredo's face twitched.

"Get the fuck out before I loose it!" Mario yelled angrily, pointing at the door.

Camilla's eyes twitched as she stared at him.

"Get out" he said a bit calmly.

"Ugh!" She groaned, storming away.

"Bitch," he said, turning to Alfredo and Liliana.

"Wow. That was......... interesting," Alfredo said as he packed up his medical equipment.

Mario rested his eyes on Liliana.

"You are fucking that maid, aren't you?" Alfredo asked.

Mario didn't respond but kept staring at Liliana.

"Well, why am I surprised?" Alfredo asked, picking up his bag.

"Don't forget to give her her meds. It is on the nightstand," Alfredo said, walking towards the door. He stopped on his track and turned to Mario.

Mario is still staring at Liliana.

"Do you have an idea when your dad will be coming back?" Alfredo asked.

"Tomorrow or Monday," Mario said without looking at him.

Alfredo furrowed his brows. "I thought he went for a business trip will take more than the weekend."

"He didn't go. The trip was canceled. He is currently at the mansion out of town," Mario said.

Alfredo raised his brows. "Alright then."

Alfredo headed out of the room while Mario stood where he was, still staring at Liliana.

He recalled the way he held her neck and the way she was breathing.

But she really had to do that to his whiskey. The audacity is fucking alarming.

Sighing, he walked towards the couch on the other side of the bed and sat on it. Relaxing comfortably, he rested his eyes on Liliana.

AN HOUR LATER

Liliana opened her eyes slowly, staring at the ceiling.

She furrowed her brows slightly as a tiny pain filled her head, making her wince slightly.

"Good thing you are awake," Mario's voice made her freeze. She looked at her right and she saw Mario, dressed in a black tank top and gray sweatpants, standing a bit close to the bed.

Her heart picked up, racing very fast as she stared at him.

"Si....sir,"

"Get up and take your meds," he ordered, making her furrow her brows in confusion. She realized she was in his room and literally lying on his bed.

But how did she get on it?

How did she.....she recalled the last thing that happened before she fainted.

"Don't make me repeat myself," he ordered.

"I am sorry," she almost whispered, making his heart react as she sat up slowly and put her legs down.

Her eyes fell on the meds on the nightstand and the glass of water. She looked at him momentarily as she reached for the med and glass of water.

She took the meds and then the water before placing the glass back on the nightstand.

"That's settled. Now leave my room," he ordered coldly, making her look at him.

He is looking dead at her.

Her heart clenched, but she moved and got on her feet.

She took steps ahead but got dizzy instantly, making her eyes roll, and she began falling, but with impulse, Mario quickly caught her, making her hold on to him.

Her dull eyes rested on him while he stared at her.

Her eyes began closing.

"She needs rest. Be nice to your maids and treat them properly." Alfredo's advice came to Mario's mind while he kept staring at Liliana as her eyes closed.

Sighing, Mario picked her up bridal style and moved towards his bed. He placed her on it gently and covered her with the sheets.

He stood up straight, put his hands in his pocket and stared at her. She is sleeping soundly.

He scoffed a bit but furrowed his brows slightly as he kept staring at her.

He sucked his teeth and walked towards his mini sofa on the other side of the bed. He laid on it, placed his head on the arm of the sofa and placed his arm on his temples while staring at the ceiling.

Not long later, he fell asleep.

Liliana stirred on the bed and laid on her side, opening her eyes slowly, and they rested on Mario, who was asleep.

Her heart raced as she realized she was back in bed. She kept staring at Mario as she recalled his harshness to her earlier.

She guesses she passed out again.

And now, she is back in bed.

He placed me on the bed, right? She asked internally.

Her heart fluttered as she kept staring at him.

She closed her eyes, feeling strangely delighted and not long later, she fell asleep again.

Mario stirred on the couch, opening his eyes a bit.

He sat up, feeling aches all over his body as he put his legs down.

"Fucking sofa," he muttered, sighing as he looked towards Liliana.
