Amelia's pov;

After hearing him say that, I felt my heart ached but then I realized something.. That's because I'm naturally in love with him. After hearing him say those words last night, the way how his eyes sparkled, the way how I felt his lips on mine..

And now this..? 

By now, I couldn't think properly, I just felt pain. My feelings developed do fast for him and I thought he would've feel the same way towards me.. but he doesn't. He only sees me as his maid.

I'm so stupid to think anything will happen between us. I'm so fucking stupid! A tear rolled down my face that I didn't even realized. I quickly wiped it off and nodded a yes.

"I'm hosting a party tonight, just saying that you'll have to get the place ready and make all these arrangements on this list," he said, putting a sheet of paper on the counter.

I nodded my head, not wanting to look at him nor speak.

"The boys and I are going on a mission before this event tonight. So by the time I get back at four, everything must be done. 

I nodded once again, grabbing the list before walking out off the kitchen, not even sparing him a glance. 

Once everyone left the house, I immediately started to decorate. While doing my tasks, by time, I forgot about Kobe.. and what happened.

Kobe's pov;

We went through the back of the warehouse, closing keeping an eye out for any snipers. Right now, we're head to head with our worst enemy.. Vallyk Pena. I absolutely hated him. Today's the day he's going to die but more like a warning add to it.

After searching the whole warehouse, we found nothing. That's when James shouted that we're surrounded through the earpiece. I was confused at first.. Then before I knew it, gunshots went off and that's when Vallyk's guards came out.

My guards started shoot as well as me and they boys started to fight some of them, but they must've thought that since we we're out-numbered, they'll beat us. But.. they're wrong.

As they aimed us with the gun, Vallyk came out, walking towards me, a smirk plastered on her face.

"Kobe, it looks like my gang has cornered your little pathetic gang right here," he chuckled.

I laughed, "Wait, you actually think that you could beat us? Bruh, think again!"

As I said that sentence, more of my guards/shooters came in the building, shooting every single guards of Vallyk. Soon, it was just Vallyk vs all of us. 

"Looks like we won.. I'm gonna have to let you suffer, bro," I smirked before shooting him in his leg four times.

"Just like what you did to me when you took my sister away from me," I said, standing on his wounded leg.

He choked out a laugh, "Your sister was just a fun little task for me. I wonder who's my next task?!"

"You won't have any other tasks to do, asshole!" I shot him in head twice before walking out, the boys following behind.

Amelia's pov;

I was finished with the arrangements and the decoration's for the party tonight. I then heard the door open which means the guys are back. It was around 4:30, by the way.

As I walked in the living room, Kobe and I made eye contact. I looked away.. but i noticed had a few cuts on his face, some blood on the white shirt he wore. I heard him sigh before he walked upstairs.

"G-guys, I want you to go to your rooms and I'll come treat your bruises one by one."

They nodded and hurried upstairs. After cleaning James' bruises, Derek was the last one to get his bruises cleaned. I knocked on his door before opening it.

"I-uh, s-sorry," I turned around as I was met with a shirtless Derek.

"No, it's cool. You can turn around now," he smiled as he finished putting on his hoodie. 

Derek was also well built but not much as Kobe. I didn't even realize I was staring at him until he chuckled.

"Yeah, I know I'm pretty attractive but please, close your mouth, you look stupid," he laughed.

"DEREK!" I hit his shoulder playfully as I laughed as well.

Meanwhile, I didn't know Kobe was standing at the door. 

Derek stopped laughing, "Looks like Kobe's jealous."

"Huh, what do you mean?" 

"He was just standing at my door frame, eyeing you, basically."

"And why would he be jealous? I'm just a maid, according to him," I rolled my eyes.

"The way how he just looked at us.. says something different."

I looked at Derek before leaving his room, going to mine. I sighed, getting in the bathroom to get ready. 

-

After doing my everything, I was ready to go down. 

As I walked outside, I felt a pair of eyes on me. I turned my head and saw Kobe, with a girl on his lap as he continued to stare directly at me. I rolled my eyes before walking off, not wanting to see him nor his face.

I then spotted Derek at the bar and as he saw me, he gestured me to come over and Manolo. Oh, I definitely need a drink. 

-

After many drinks, I got a little tipsy. And I still had that image of Kobe and that slut stuck in my mind. I smirked before dragging Derek to the dance floor with me. Let's just say, I'm out of control.

As Derek and I were enjoying our time, I still felt Kobe's intense stare on me. 

-

After a few hours of dancing, my feet started to get sore, and I started to get tired. Derek then told me that I should head back inside my room.. Which I gladly did.

Derek chuckled, "You're fun when you're drunk."

I tapped his head, "Am not!"

We both laughed, as we turned the corner, we quickly stopped our laughter. 

"REALLY, KOBE?! AGIAN?!" Derek shouted.

I froze at the sight in front of me. That slut from earlier was sticking her tongue down his throat as Kobe himself was a hickey mess.

As he saw me, he quickly pushed her off, raising his body up. I looked at him with no emotion, a tear rolling down my cheek. 

"S-sorry for interrupting," I said before quickly running upstairs.

Derek's pov;

"You're such an asshole, Kobe! She'll definitely hate you now!" i said, running upstairs after Amelia.

I slowly opened her door, seeing her hugging her knees while sniffing into them as she was on the floor. I went beside her, pulling her in for a hug. 

"It's okay, Amelia, calm down," I tried to comfort her.

"Why does it hurt so bad, Derek?" she asked as she sniffled.

"It's okay, don't think about it too much," I said, rubbing circles on her back.

Amelia's pov;

After ten minutes of crying I finally pulled away from the hug.

"S-shit, I'm sorry that you shirt got makeup all over it," I looked at his shirt, full of colors.

"it's fine.."

"You should go now," I said, getting off the floor.

He nodded before walking out. I wiped all my tears before going into my bathroom. I decided to take a long hot bath just to free my mind.

Author's pov;

"Hey Derek, is she okay?" Kobe asked.

"Yeah, she's okay. Your plan worked, you hurt her and that is not what she deserves," Derek spat before walking off.

Next Morning

Today.. is going to be a difficult day since Kobe and the others were going to fight against another mafia gang. Which him and the boys have been training for the past couple months. 

-

When Kobe walked in the dinning room, the table was filled with breakfast. As the boys entered, they sat at the table before digging in. As Amelia brought them glasses of water, Kobe had noticed how puffy and red her eyes were. She didn't even spare him a glance.

Amelia's pov;

As I finished cleaning the kitchen I ran to the living room to hug the boys before they go. When it came to Kobe, I just couldn't do it and I knew that he didn't want to do it as well.

"I'm just a maid," I looked at him before walking off.

-

-

Two days went by fairly quickly, I started to get worried as i didn't hear from anyone of the boys. It's 3:21, they're supposed to be back by now!

-

Another few hours, now its 8:15. As I was about to open the front door, in came a frantic Derek and Ballo. They told me that everything didn't go as planned and th other gang had captured Kobe.

They also told me that the rest of they guys were at their safe house an that I need to come with them. I quickly packed important stuff before running out the door with the two boys. 

All I could think about is Kobe. Is he okay?! What if he's hurt?! 

"G-guys, i-is Kobe o-okay?! He's o-okay right?" I stuttered out.

Ballo rubbed my back, "Amelia, we haven't heard from him in three days..."
