Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 76

I was about to drift off into sleep when suddenly Hayden took my hand in his. He held my hand as we lay there side by side, staring up at the stars in the sky. I wished that the stars didn’t have eyes and were not witnesses to what we just did. That was such a silly thought and it made me feel very silly as well.

“Why were you crying?” Hayden asked out of the blue.

Honestly, I had no idea what he was referring to.

“Huh?” I said questioningly.

“The day I slept with you…Auntie told me that she saw you crying when you left my room. Why were you crying, Malissa?” Hayden asked as he turned his head to the side and looked straight at me.

My eyes widened in shock and surprise. Auntie told Hayden about that? I was also shocked at how he could ask me something like that with a straight face. How straightforward can this man be?

“I…it’s nothing,” I replied.

I couldn’t be as straightforward as he was. I couldn’t bring myself to tell him that it was because I saw his photo with Amelia.

…

When I woke up the next morning, I wasn’t in my own bed. I sat up quickly in bed and look around to find that I was in Hayden’s room and on his bed. The man in question was no longer in the room.

Malissa, dearest, you need to start learning from your past mistakes. You see, if you fall asleep in Hayden’s car, he’s going to carry you to his room and not yours! Then you’ll sleep in the same bed as him and wake up in his bed the next morning…

I felt like kicking myself.

When I moved my legs, a pain shot through my core reminding me how rough Hayden was with me last night…and we did it outdoors on the grass. I bet Hayden just dumped me onto his bed and then went off somewhere again. My pussy felt sore and so did the rest of my body.

Slowly, I got out of bed and headed for the door so that I could go back and take a shower in my own bedroom. This time something else caught my eye.

I’m pretty sure that it was here last time. The photograph of Hayden and Amelia that I saw was no longer in sight.

Did he remove it? He must have…

Does that mean that he figured out that it bothered me?

I shook my head to clear my thoughts. Why am I over thinking everything? It doesn’t matter if the photo is here or not because it doesn’t change how Hayden feels.

I opened the door without hesitation and quickly got out of his room. The peace of my own bedroom welcomed me with opened arms, and I felt slightly better.

After checking the calendar on my phone, I realized that today was finally the day that I had a dinner appointment with my friends. When I made the appointment, I was sure that I could go places as long as had the small group of bodyguards with me. However, things have changed a little bit since then and that was mainly because of Hayden.

After showering and dressing up, I felt refreshed and in better spirits. Perhaps there was nothing to worry about. Hayden usually wasn’t back for dinner anyways and there were no rules against me going out to meet people. It has been a long time since I’ve met other people besides those from Hayden’s gang and my own grandmother and I could use the break.

I picked a nice-looking dress that I felt comfortable in and then applied some light make up. The dinner that was planned wasn’t at any place fancy, but it’s been a while since I’ve been out with friends. Dressing up a little bit isn’t going to hurt. I looked at my own reflection in the mirror and smiled. Please let today be a good day!

The growling of my stomach reminded me that I hadn’t eaten, and I was feeling pretty hungry. Taking out my phone, I started texting my friends in our group chat as I headed out of my bedroom in search for some food. As always, I was sure the Auntie had prepared some food in the dining room.

“Where are you going today?”

I froze at the sound of an unexpected voice. Slowly, I looked up from my phone at the owner of the voice. Why is Hayden here?

“Are you that shocked to see me?” Hayden asked as he crossed his arms.

To be honest, a little, yes. Hayden is up early today, and he hasn’t gone out. I cocked my head to the side in slight confusion as I watched him just sitting there at the dining table.

“So…where are you going today?” Hayden repeated his question again.

Right…I haven’t replied to him. Truthfully, I’m going out to meet my friends, but does he really need to know that?

“No where special…” I replied vaguely.

“Sit…” Hayden said as he glanced over at the seat opposite him at the table.

I pursed my lips together as I slowly made my way to the table and sat down where he had indicated. As predicted, there was some food on the table that Auntie had prepared. That reminded me that I was hungry.

“Eat. You’re hungry, right?” Hayden said.

“Yea…” I replied softly as I began picking up the utensils.

“You’re not going anywhere special. So, you decided to get all dolled up to stay home?’ Hayden said as he looked at me suspiciously.

I didn’t want to tell him but the way that he was silently staring at me with his blue eyes was making me feel so uncomfortable. With a sigh, I put down the utensils in my hand as I started to lose my appetite.

“I’m going out for dinner with some friends later today. That’s all,” I replied, finally spitting out the truth.

“Good. I happen to be free tonight,” Hayden said before smiling sweetly at me.

What?

“What do you mean?” I asked. Tell me this isn’t what I think it is.
