Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 139

4 days left. You’re kidding me, right?

Someone please sell me a spell to stop time, I thought before laughing at the ridiculousness of my own stupid idea.

I woke up feeling disorientated. I’ve never hated the arrival of a new day quite like this before. Looking around me, I found out that I was alone and there were no signs of Hayden. He must have left already by the looks of it. I wondered where he went. He didn’t tell me anything…

Now that I think about it, I probably fell asleep last night right after reaching my climax. My hands quickly went to the wet mess in between my legs. My pussy feels sticky. I touched the wetness in between my legs with my fingers. From the looks and smell of it, I guess Hayden didn’t cum inside of me. My bed smells so much of him though. I should wash the bedding…

Before that I should take a quick shower. Even before that I should check my phone. Sleepily, I reached for my phone and found out that I made the best decision ever. There was a message from Hayden! Wow! How rare…

I quickly clicked on it and the text message appeared on the screen of my phone.

‘I’m out now but I’ll be back around 4PM. See you,’

It was a little disappointing that Hayden had to go out, but it also presented the perfect opportunity now that he was away. Since he had obviously thought about and had prepared parting gifts for me, I thought that I should at least get him something in return. This was the perfect chance to go out and get him something.

With that in mind, I quickly showered got dressed and headed out of the house. The men in black were there to follow me around. I wondered if I would miss having them buzzing around me after the contract was over. It was a strange and funny thought.

The men in black were helpful as a driver as always. I had them drive me to a department store. The normal and middle-class one, not the super classy and expensive one that Hayden took me to before. Since I’m planning to buy him a gift, I was prepared to pay for it out from my own pocket. Not that I had anything much saved up.

The men in black followed me silently, trying to keep their distance to give me some space. They probably knew that their days of guarding me were coming to an end soon. Perhaps they were looking forward to returning to their regular jobs, whatever that was really like. I wandered from shop to shop as I browsed aimlessly.

After wasting about an hour without making any progress on narrowing down my choice of items, I paused to gather my thoughts. Seriously, just what am I looking for exactly? That was when it hit me that I had no idea what I wanted to buy for Hayden. I didn’t know what I should get for him. I didn’t know what he would like. The biggest problem was that he seemed to have everything and nothing that I could buy with the money that I had seemed good enough for him.

He would probably see this as cheap and inferior, I thought as I looked down at the fountain pen in my hand. I gave the shop assistant a shy smile as I returned the pen back to her and headed out of the store. That wasn’t it either.

What about some clothes? Then again, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Hayden wear anything this sloppy. All his clothes seemed specially tailored or belonged to some leading and expensive brand. Seriously, completely out of my budget.

I looked down at my phone and saw that it was almost noon. Seriously, did time just go by that fast? I wasted a few hours and didn’t buy anything for him. I closed my eyes and sighed in frustration. Time was running out and Hayden would be back in a few hours.

Looking around the mall, I honestly didn’t think that I could pick out something for him even if I spent a few more hours walking around aimlessly. I felt so stupid, if Hayden didn’t come to shop here then that was probably because there was nothing here that he wanted or was good enough for him. It wasn’t like I had enough money to splurge on buying something for him in the other more expensive malls.

That only left me with one option…

“Let’s go back to the penthouse. Sorry for dragging you guys around with me…” I said softly to the men in black.

As always, they just nodded in acknowledgement and didn’t bother to reply.

…

My mind was busy thinking about what I could achieve in the short few hours that I had left before Hayden got back. There was no guarantee that I would have alone time like this again before the contract came to an end. That meant that leaving things unfinished and up to chance was not an option. Whatever I start, I must finish before Hayden gets back.

My hands fidgeted on my lap as my brain went to work on solving the problem at hand. I could probably paint something with watercolor that was simple so that it had enough time to dry. From Hayden’s large purchase, I definitely had all the materials and colors that I needed. However, I didn’t know what to paint and it just seemed too ordinary.

Great, another issue just came up. I had no idea what I wanted to draw or paint. However, it was clear that I should make him something. If I couldn’t please him with anything that had monetary value, then I had to go with something that had sentimental value. It wasn’t like I was sure that Hayden would think that there is sentimental value in my artwork, but it was the only shot that I had.

Rushing through the door of the penthouse, I immediately headed to my bedroom. Although I almost tripped over my own feet in my hurry, I managed to make it back to my bedroom. If I could get my hands on some paper, a pencil, or a paintbrush, maybe some wild idea might flicker into my head.
