Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 105

My mind flashed back to what had been bothering me since last night after I had parted from Hayden for a moment to go the ladies room. I bumped into a lady who seemed to be in a hurry and while at that time I didn’t think that anything was out of the ordinary, I began feeling a little bothering pain like there was something scraping against the skin of my chest as I walked.

I stopped walking and dipped my hand into the top of my dress and felt around the area in between my breasts. To my absolute surprise, I found the cause of the scraping pain. It was a small piece of paper that seemed to have been folded into a small square. When did this get in here? I don’t remember carrying a paper like this around…

It couldn’t be…the lady that bumped into me just now?

There was only one explanation and that was that I had somehow gotten it when I bumped into that woman from earlier. Did she place it here on purpose? I had no idea who she was, and I didn’t remember what she looked like. Seemed like there was nothing I could do since I wouldn’t be able to find her.

Quickly, I began unfolding the paper in my hand.

‘Do you remember?’

The note was short and simple. However, it wasn’t the message that caught my attention. What caught my attention was the capitalized letter E that signed the end of the short message. My eyes zoomed in on that single letter and I felt like I was going to black out.

A capitalized E in his very own signature font…

E for Ethan.

I folded the paper again and slid it back inside my bosom to hide it. If Hayden found out about this, I wouldn’t know how to explain. Sure, I could come out and tell him that it was just a note from my ex whom I haven’t heard from in around a year. However, I wasn’t sure how Hayden would react…

Pushing the troubling thoughts from my mind, I quickly headed to the bar where Hayden was waiting. I didn’t want to keep him waiting for too long and I didn’t want him to be suspicious that anything was amiss.

After some drinks at the bar, we made our way back to our room where we had a lot of sex until I fell asleep in his arms. Without knowing why, I was scared of meeting Ethan. Although, I longed to see him again for all this time, now that he was so close and I might actually see him, I felt so scared. I didn’t know what I would do, what I would say or how I would feel if I met him again. The next thing I knew, morning had arrived, and I was sleeping in Hayden’s arms.

…

I looked up at the man standing in front of me. This man, he’s dressed in a very expensive looking black suit with a white shirt and diamond earrings. How he dressed was completely different from the laid back and relaxed Ethan that I knew from a year ago but…he’s Ethan, without a doubt.

When I received the note, it made me realize that Ethan was on this ship and that he knew that I was also here. However, never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that Ethan is the head of the Silva gang. I mean, how could it be?

The Ethan that I dated was down to earth, very middle-class, super helpful and normal. How could he have any connections to the mafia let alone be the boss of one of the gangs? None of this was making any sense to me.

Maybe this is all just some type of mistake? How could Ethan be here or all places?

The other thing that bugged me was how he knew that I was here? He knew. He definitely knew. He knew enough to get someone to plant that note in the front of my dress. That lady that I bumped into must be working for him.

However, no matter how I looked at it, the man standing in front of me right now is Ethan. The boss of Silva is Ethan…my ex-boyfriend.

…

I first met Ethan in my freshmen year of university. It rained heavily on that day although the weather forecast forecasted clear skies and because of that, I didn’t have an umbrella with me. Ironically, that was also my first day of university. My friend would joke about it later that the rain must have been some type of blessing from heaven to mark the start of our journey at university.

The truth was that I got caught in the rain and I was almost late to the convocation. I was walking to the university when large drops of rain fell from the sky and then suddenly it just became an outright downpour with strong winds as well. Since I didn’t have an umbrella with me, I dodged into the side of a building nearby that happened to have an extended roof.

My hair was wet and so were the bangs that hung over my eyes. It clearly wasn’t my day. As I moved my wet bangs away from my eyes, that was when I saw him for the first time. Standing next to me with a slightly puzzled and fascinated smirk on his face was Ethan.

I remember how his piercing green eyes captivated me. His eyes seemed bright and very perceptive. It made me feel like he could see through me and anything and anyone in this world. Those were the eyes of someone who had already figured out what they wanted in life. At least, that was what I thought. I must have been staring at him in my shock as the rain continued to beat down all around us.

“You look like a lost kitten,” Ethan said before smiling sweetly at me.

Those were the first words that he said to me. That smile transformed his whole face and the air around him. It was like he had changed into another person in a blink of an eye. I have never seen anything like it before. Still stunned at his presence, I couldn’t come up with a reply.
