Ch. 256..260: Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion Chapter 256-260
Chapter 256: Dangerous Man
"Hayden told me that you’re…" I began saying softly.
"Dead?" Harvey finished my sentence for me smoothly.
He grinned at me before returning his attention to the dog on his lap as if what I wanted to discuss was something insignificant and unimportant.
"…Yes," I replied.
"I keep telling Hayden to introduce me to his girlfriend, but he always refused. It’s such a shame really…" Harvey said, sounding regretful while dodging my previous question entirely.
I was still quite scared of Harvey; however, his presence didn’t seem to intimidate me as much as Hayden did. Regardless of my own fears, I wasn’t willing to just let this slide. If I asked Hayden about this, he might not tell me anything again. Therefore, my best bet right now is to try to get some answers out of Harvey.
"Harvey, why does everyone think that you’re dead?" I asked again.
I made sure to speak out much louder than last time. He must have heard me and the seriousness in my voice. Harvey’s eyes widened at little at me as if he was surprised then he smiled an icy smile that made my skin crawl.
"Because it would have been better for everyone if I died…" Harvey replied casually.
"What?" I said cluelessly.
What is he talking about?
"Well, for a while at least…" he said before shrugging like it was nothing concerning.
"You faked your death?" I asked, trying not to sound accusing.
"I did…oh…but it wasn’t my idea," Harvey said.
That doesn’t make it any less your fault. I didn’t have to guess whose brilliant idea it was to fake Harvey’s death. Harvey mentioned that he spoke to Hayden, so his younger brother knew for sure that he is alive. Guess I already knew who I should credit the idea to.
"Why? Why would Hayden suggest such a crazy thing?" I asked as my temples started to throb.
"He wanted to help me. He really is such a good brother," Harvey said with a warm smile as if he was thinking of his dear younger brother.
"Help you…with what?" I asked, in pure confusion.
It was like these two brothers loved to talk in riddles and I had a hard time understanding them both. Why can’t they just talk directly like normal people and just tell me what is going on?
Instead of replying to my question, Harvey gently lifted Little Hayden off his lap before placing him down carefully on the floor next to his feet. The poor dog looked up with pleading eyes as if saddened that he had been let down. Harvey patted the dog’s head and said some tender words of comfort. Harvey then stood up from his seat before turning to face me directly.
Instinctively, I took a step back away from him. His blue eyes were suddenly very cold and emotionless as they stared at my face. I felt the blood drain from my face as I felt the temperature in the air around me drop by several degrees. Something changed about Harvey, and I wasn’t sure if I liked it.
He took a step forward towards me and I took another step back. His cold blue eyes watched me; however, he didn’t say anything. With each step that I took backwards, I realized that I got more and more scared of him and what he might do. Although the brothers looked very similar to each other, I knew and trusted Hayden, but I didn’t know anything about Harvey. I couldn’t trust him.
I cursed myself and my own foolishness silently. Why didn’t I turn to run? I should have just run away from this place. Now it was too late, and I was completely cornered. The hardness of the wall hit my back and I was trapped between it and the man in front of me.
His hand slowly reached out towards my face, and it took everything inside me to stop myself from screaming out loud for help. His hand was large and very pale. His fingers were beautiful long, and they were slowly coming closer towards my face.
"You have beautiful hair…" he whispered tenderly as his fingers held a lock of my hair.
His eyes drifted to admire the lock of hair that he held, and my eyes automatically followed. Harvey began twirling the lock of hair playfully as he smiled. My body froze in fear and his closeness made me felt extremely uncomfortable.
Hayden…when are you going to get home?
If you can’t find me in the mansion, will you know that I’m in here?
In my time of desperation, my mind drifted to Hayden. I didn’t like being so helpless but in this exact situation, who else can save me from Harvey if it wasn’t his brother?
"Your neck is so slim…" Harvey whispered sweetly as his hand released my hair.
In the next moment, his fingers began tracing along my neck. I shrank back from his touch before his soft touch found the sensitive skin of my neck. I bit my lip and winced as I prayed harder for Hayden to come help me.
"Stop it…" I said through clenched teeth.
"You don’t look too bad now that I can see you up close…" Harvey said as his eyes seemed to appraise me.
His fingers slid up my neck and my body stiffened even further. I wanted to scream but I doubt that anyone would be able to hear me. What do I do now?
"Please stop…" I said softly.
"Stop?" Hayden said with a genuinely confused look on his face.
It was like he had no idea what I was referring to. At that moment, I wasn’t sure what was worst between knowingly acting evil or innocently acting evil.
He began caresses my cheek with the back of his fingers. His touch was light and slow; however, I didn’t think of it as feeling pleasant at all.
His eyes left my face as it traveled down my body, and I cringed internally. Hayden looked at me like that before around when we first meant. I was so scared back then, but it was nothing compared to now.
Chapter 257: Just Kill Her
"Don’t worry, I haven’t even started…" Harvey said with a cold smile.
His hand slid from my cheek lower to my collarbones and I sucked in a breath and held it. Slowly, his hand traveled down my chest as his cold blue eyes held mine. What is wrong with this guy?
"Do you know what we do with women who poke their noses where it doesn’t belong?" he asked as if I would have any clue about what he was talking about.
I bit my lower lip and refused to reply. Not knowing what he wanted to hear and not having any idea of what he had in mind, I decided to hold my tongue and keep my peace.
"So, you don’t know. Would you like to find out?" he suggested as his eyes brightened in excitement.
I thought Hayden was twisted to a certain degree, but this man is on a league of his own. Does this run in the family or in their genes?
His fingers traced its way down my chest to the sensitive space in between my breasts as his eyes watched my every reaction closely. I stopped breathing in my panic as I turned my head to look away from him in embarrassment.
"Your skin must be soft here…" he whispered seductively as his hand returned to my collarbone before dipping down under my clothes.
I could feel the heat of his fingers directly on the skin of my chest and then the top of my breast…
"Stop…please…" I pleaded before I closed my eyes tightly and turned to look the other way.
He’s going to touch my breasts…
Hayden is going to get so angry if he finds out. He’ll end up killing me for sure…
This is so bad. How did I get myself tied up in this situation? I should’ve never come in here…
Once again, I realized that I should have listened to Hayden. Maybe Hayden knew that something like this would happen if anyone came in here…
He told me so many times to stay away from this place, why didn’t I listen?
Hayden…where are you?
Please…save me…
"Enough playing around, brother…"
My eyes snapped opened at the sound of a very familiar voice. The heat on my chest disappeared and I looked down to see Hayden pulling Harvey’s hand away from my chest. I turned to see a stone-faced Hayden standing next to his brother with his hand gripping Harvey’s wrist. His eyes were icy cold, and I could sense his anger although he hasn’t said anything to show his emotions.
"Shit…" Harvey cursed softly as he shook his hand away from his brother’s.
"I know you’re bored out of your mind because you’re sort of stuck here but there’s a limit to how much you can fool around…" Hayden said coldly.
"Why did you have to get back so early?" Harvey complained before laughing softly to himself.
Now that I saw the two brothers side-by-side, I could understand how most people couldn’t tell them apart. Everything about them looked extremely similar from their face, their hair, the color of their eyes, their build and height, and the clothes that they had on. I wasn’t sure if it was planned but this was way too much for a coincidence.
At a glance, even the people who knew them well would probably be confused between the two. For those who didn’t know these two brothers well, I bet they couldn’t tell them apart at all.
I was too shocked and relieved at what had just happened to say anything. The two brothers stared at each other as if they could communicate telepathically. For a moment, I truly wondered if that was possible between them. After a moment, Harvey let out a resigned sigh.
"She found out about us so…should I just kill her?" he asked casually like he was just ordering some food from a waitress.
I blinked rapidly at his words. Did I hear him right? Did he just suggest to Hayden that I should be killed?
Wait. What?!
I turned towards Hayden who had a thoughtful look in his face. He’s actually considering it?!
At that point, I wasn’t sure what I found more shocking between Harvey’s suggestion or the fact that Hayden seemed to be considering his idea as a feasible option. They’re not really going to kill me, are they?
"No one knows that I’m alive, you see, apart from Hayden that is…so, in case you haven’t figured it out, the fact that you found out isn’t actually very ideal for us…or for you…" Harvey turned to explain to me with a sweet smile on his face.
His words made me feel like I was as good as dead. Little Hayden rolled around on the floor without a care. That dog is such a traitor!
My gaze shifted towards Hayden who still seemed very thoughtful as he thought about what to do. So far, Hayden hasn’t spoken a word to me after he had entered the room and found me here with his brother. I wondered what he was thinking about. Regardless, I felt like if I didn’t end up dying here at Harvey’s hand, I’ll be paying for my mistake in other ways when Hayden decides to punish me.
My body shivered just at the thought of being punished by Hayden.
"What should we do?" Harvey asked his brother.
Harvey seemed very relax and he even seemed to be in a cheerful mood. He walked back to the sofa and after sitting on it, he called over to Little Hayden. The dog obediently ran to his side before Harvey scooped him up into his arms and placed him on his lap. I watched that scene before letting out a sigh.
Even my pet has abandoned me, so it seems…
"I’ll deal with her. Until our plan is complete, no one will find out that you’re alive," Hayden stated emotionlessly after he seemed to reach his conclusion.
"Oh…is that so? Great then, I can keep my hands clean..." Harvey readily agreed with a few small nods of his head.
Chapter 258: Enough Talking
What did Hayden just say? He’ll deal with me. What does that even mean?
"You should stay here for a while just to be safe and…don’t play around too much…" Hayden said as he looked at his brother pointedly.
"You’re always so strict…" Harvey complained openly.
"Just do as I say," Hayden ordered firmly.
"Sure. What do you plan to do with her?" Harvey asked and I could feel his eyes on me.
I listened to the conversation of the brothers in wonder and was surprised that Harvey had asked the question that was on my mind.
"I haven’t decided. Don’t worry, she won’t be stepping a foot outside. Neither will she speak to anyone," Hayden replied very calmly.
Harvey nodded with agreement before he flashed a smile my way. He’s so evil. He’s just…twisted and evil…
"Well, from what I could tell from my inspection just now…her neck is quite slim, and her skin is soft and tender. It’s such a waste that she’s so stubborn and doesn’t seem to take instructions very well," Harvey commented.
Hayden did not respond to his brother’s comments, he just nodded in agreement. Harvey looked my way before sighing.
"It’s such a shame, really. She did grow up into a decent woman. She was just a baby when I saw her last, time really has flown by. I hope we meet again, Malissa. I hope you’re still sane by then…" Harvey said with a teasing laugh.
"Enough talking," Hayden muttered.
Harvey closed his mouth immediately and the conversation between the two brothers ended there. To my ultimate dismay, Hayden turned to face me for the first time since entering the room. My heart beat so fast that my head started feeling light. My lips quivered and my hands felt cold and numb. Although Hayden hasn’t said anything to me, I was already so scared. This time, I really went and did it.
I went directly against his orders, and I had no real excuse for myself.
I had no idea why Hayden had to fake his brother’s death or what plan they had in mind; however, it was clear that no one, including myself, was supposed to find out about it. Hayden’s blue eyes stared at me coldly and I wasn’t sure if he even saw me at all.
I was too scared and too consumed by my own guilt to meet his eyes, so I glanced down at the floor while I waited for him to tell me what he wanted me to do.
Slowly, his hand reached out and grabbed my wrist. His hand felt so warm against my own cold skin. Without saying a word to me, Hayden turned around and pulled me roughly along with him. His grip on my wrist was tight and he refused to loosen it. I let out a small whimpering cry at the pain that dug into my wrist.
It hurts…it really hurts…
Without turning back to look at me, Hayden continued walking forward at a face pace. I struggled to keep up with him and was always running after him. He pulled on my arm mercilessly as he dragged me towards the door of the room. It was like he wanted to take me out of there as soon as possible and I had to say that I didn’t want to stay there in that room any longer either.
"Hayden! Don’t be so rough on her. Broken bones don’t heal that easily, you know that, right? Of course, you do. You’re a doctor and all. Oh Malissa, you don’t need to worry, I’ll take care of Little Hayden for you!" Harvey called loudly after us.
The sound of his laughter echoed loudly behind us. We reached the door of the large room, finally, and Hayden pulled me after him out of the door before he kicked the door closed with his foot. The door shut with a loud bang from the force of his kick. The sound echoed along the long and dark hallway. Unlike when I entered the dark hallway, I was making my way out of it along with Hayden.
His grip on my wrist didn’t relax and it hurt with each pull of my arm.
When we made it back to the fork in the path, I was unfortunately reminded that I had a special dinner planned for tonight. Judging from the way things are playing out, I doubt that we would have the special dinner together. Furthermore, I doubt that we would have any peaceful dinner together at all.
It had a been a long while since Auntie called for me to meet her and I hoped that she wasn’t worried about me. I shook my head to clear my thoughts when I realized that I should be worrying more about myself and the situation that I was in rather than worrying about that old lady or anyone else.
Hayden stood next to me with his hand still around my wrist. I summoned my courage and glanced up at his face. As expected, his face was cold and completely void of any emotions. I wondered what he was going to do to me. Would he lock me up in my room?
That idea was certainly incorrect because instead of dragging me back in the direction of my rooms, Hayden dragged me into his wing of the mansion. Although he has brought me here often enough by now, I cringed as I felt that I was in for a not-so-pleasant surprise for this particular visit. A short while after, I found out that I was right.
We arrived at the large doors leading to Hayden’s bedroom, but he didn’t stop walking. Instead, he dragged me right past it without even pausing.
Where is he taking me?
We walked past the door to his bedroom and that was when I realized that I didn’t know what lay beyond in his wing of the mansion beyond his bedroom. After a short walk down a smaller hallway that I had never been to before, Hayden came to a stop at a tall door.

Chapter 260: His Shocking Command
Where are we now? Why did he bring me to a place like this?
It was dark and I wondered if there are lights in this place. As if to reply to my unasked question, Hayden took a couple of steps forward and the lights automatically switched on. His movement must have triggered the light censor and the whole floor was lit by warm orange light.
It wasn’t bright but it was more than enough for me to see that we had arrived at a very large hallway that resembled the other ones in the mansion, although, this one wasn’t decorated like the others.
Plain white walls lined both sides of the hallway. I felt a force tugging on my arm again as I was forcibly dragged forward. Hayden didn’t say anything, and I spent the silent walk down the long hallway looking around at nothing but white walls. We walked past many closed doors until we reached a door right at the very end of the hallway.
The hallway was long, and I was sure that it was the same hallway that spanned the length of the mansion. I had walked a hallway like this many times before but on a different floor. Now, I was underground, and I felt like I was about to find out why Hayden had brought me here.
Since this is the end of the hallway, this room beyond this door must be our destination. There is nowhere else that we could go. The large door was locked and required three level of security to unlock it. I was scared but I was equally as curious as to what lay beyond this door that required it to have three level of security on top of it being hidden underground like this.
Hayden inputted a password into the keypad and a few beeping sounds confirmed that it was the correct password. After that he proceeded to scan his finger and that was followed by the last level of security which was a retina scan.
I made a little bet with myself with nothing to wager on that what lay beyond this door must be treasure of immeasurable worth like diamonds, gold bars and rare artifacts. The mafia was loaded, and they had to have some treasure hidden away. This underground overly secured room felt like the perfect place for it to be.
Although I would trade anything to be back in my room or art studio right now, I didn’t mind taking a peek into Hayden’s treasure trove first.
The door was automatic and didn’t require Hayden to lift a finger to open it. I blinked rapidly as the door slid open and bright light spilled into hallway. The large door which apparently was made of metal slid open like the door of a large elevator. Hayden took a step forward and I quickly followed before he needed to yank me in with him.
My wrist and arm had suffered more than enough damage at that point.
Despite the high security to the room, there was surprisingly very little in the room. My eyes blinked in disbelief at how empty the room was. Clearly, this wasn’t Hayden’s treasure trove at all. Not only were there no gold bar, expensive jewelry or other treasures, the room barely had anything inside.
Metallic walls probably made from steel, a king-sized bed, a full-length mirror, a table and two chairs and a ceiling covered entire in mirrored glass. Another steel door that probably led to a toilet of some sort. The room had nothing else besides loads of hand cuffs, rope and other things used to restrain something…or someone…
As if perfectly programmed, the large door slowly slid close when the two of us were inside the room. The door locked itself and I felt trapped inside the cube-shaped room with Hayden. Doors and walls made of steel; it was like I was inside a very large elevator. My heart began beating faster and harder inside my chest as I looked around. He doesn’t intend to keep me here, does he?
I stood glued to the spot as my eyes roved around the windowless room. Since we were underground, I guessed there wasn’t any use for windows. The room was cold and windy from the air conditioner blowing in the room. Everything in the room looked new and completely unused. I took in a deep breath and let out a resigned sigh. All that needed to happen now was for Hayden to explain to me his deal.
For the first time since our journey down to this place started, Hayden slowly turned around to face me directly. As expected, his face was cold and his eyes void of any emotions. His blue eyes were icy cold as they focused on mine. What should I do? I need to say something. I bit my lower lip and mustered up all my courage to voice some words.
"I’m…sorry…" I whispered.
Hayden’s eyes showed absolutely no reaction to my words. It was like my words didn’t matter and I might as well haven’t wasted my effort in voicing them. His cold blue eyes stared down at me, and I felt my body freeze like he had frozen me into a statue of ice.
He’s going to kill me…perhaps, literally…
He didn’t say no to Harvey when he suggested the idea. This is such a sick joke…
All I did was go in to fetch my puppy. That was all.
"Tie yourself to the bed…" Hayden said softly.
His eyes showed no emotion, if anything, he looked truly bored like he didn’t want to deal with me anymore.
"Excuse me?" I whispered in shock. What did he just say?
"There’re many options for you to choose from on that table over there. Pick what you like and tie your feet together. After that tie your wrist to one of the bed’s posts," Hayden instructed emotionlessly.
"Huh? You want me to…" I said, still in disbelief.
He’s asking me to tie myself up? Why?
