Ch. 261..265: Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion Chapter 261-265

Chapter 261: Begging for Punishment

"Do it. I’ll leave after you do," Hayden said, and his hand released my wrist as if he had just remembered that he was still holding it.

Blood returned to my hand, and I quickly rubbed my hand over my wrist to speed up the blood flow. Hayden didn’t say anything more as he walked over to a nearby chair and took a seat. His eyes returned to me as he looked at me passively. It was like he couldn’t care less what I did. He sat there patiently on the chair as he waited for me to tie myself to the bed just like he had instructed in detail.

He can’t be serious…

Normally, he would just tie me up or handcuff me to the bed or whatever, but he had never asked for me to do it myself. As far as I could tell, Hayden didn’t seem like he wanted to be in here with me any longer than necessary. However, he didn’t rush me, neither did he offer any help. He just sat there with a look of boredom on his face like he would rather be anywhere else but here with me.

His calmness only scared me even more. What is he thinking right now? I can’t understand him at all. I knew that he was mad, but he didn’t look mad and even now that we’re alone, he didn’t take it out on me.

I can’t believe that I’m actually going to say this…

"Can you…help tie me up?" I asked in a small voice.

"No. Honestly, I can’t be bothered with a girl like you right now. Do whatever you want…" Hayden replied passively.

"Hayden…" I whispered his name without bothering to hide my shock or how hurt I felt.

"Forget it," Hayden murmured under his breath as he stood up from the chair.

He approached the door and after quickly inserting a password into the keypad, the door began sliding open again.

"Hayden! Wait! Where are you going? I said that I’m sorry…I didn’t intend to go in there. Little Hayden just ran in there and I had to go after him. I was so scared…" I blurted out everything at once as I clung to his arm.

"Your meals will be delivered here," he stated flatly.

His hand softly lifted my arms and removed them from his arm. He stared down at me with his cold blue eyes passively.

"Hayden…please…" I pleaded as tears swam in my eyes.

I wasn’t sure what I was pleading him for. I didn’t know what I really wanted but I just couldn’t bear his cold attitude towards me. His cold eyes stared down at me without feelings as if I was no longer there. His gaze was empty, and I started feeling very empty inside. A sense of insecurity like I had never felt before welled up inside of me and I felt lost.

When he removed my hands from his arm, I realized that I didn’t want to lose him. If he leaves me now, will he ever come back? At that moment, I realized that I was willing to do anything for his forgiveness. If he was mad, I’ll let him punish me until he was satisfied. Anything was better than him ignoring me like this.

"Hayden…please don’t leave…" I pleaded desperately as tears started rolling down my cheeks freely.

I sobbed and my chest felt tight. My voice broke and the image of Hayden before me became blurry from my own tears. Hayden looked at me, but he didn’t say anything. Just like before, he looked bored and disinterested in what he was seeing.

While I was thinking of what I should say to him next, Hayden turned on his heel to leave. I have to stop him!

"Hayden!" I cried out loudly as I hugged him from behind.

I wrapped my arms around his waist as tightly as I could as I buried my face into his back. My sobs wrecked my body as I continued crying into his back. I felt his body moved as he seemed to sigh silently. He turned around and slowly peeled my arms from around his body.

"Hayden…" I called his name softly.

"Stay here. When everything is over, you can leave," he said emotionlessly.

I can leave? Just like that? What does that even mean?

"Hayden, please forgive me…you can punish me however you want…please…" I begged him.

I couldn’t believe that I was begging him to punish me like this; however, I didn’t want him to leave. I didn’t want him to ignore me like this…like everything between us is over and done.

"I can’t be bothered to discipline a girl that doesn’t obey my orders," Hayden said firmly.

He gave me a small push into the room before he turned and strode out of the room. The door began sliding close after his departure. I watched in disbelief at his back as he walked away from me without turning back. The door continued to slide close, and I could see less of him and the view outside.

"Hayden! Hayden!" I screamed his name loudly.

Although I knew that he could hear me, he never turned around.

…

How long have I been sitting here like this? The room was always bright unless I decided to turn off the light. There were no windows, and I couldn’t see anything outside because I was underground. There wasn’t a clock in the room, and I didn’t have my mobile phone with me. I had no idea what time it was.

It’s probably very late into the night right now…or perhaps dawn is approaching…or perhaps it’s already the morning of a different day.

I had no idea, and I wasn’t sure why I cared either. Hayden left me here and hasn’t returned since. I wondered where he was and what he was doing? Had he eaten his dinner already? Did he sleep well? Did he patch things up with his brother?

Did he think of me even if just a little?

Chapter 262: Eat

My eyes glanced over at the table full of the different tools for restraint. In the end, I didn’t tie myself up and Hayden wasn’t even bothered to tie me up. It wasn’t like I could escape from this room anyways and perhaps; I didn’t even want to escape.

’Stay here. When everything is over, you can leave,’

Hayden’s words came back to haunt me, and my mind couldn’t get his emotionless face out of my mind. I sighed for the hundredth time that day as I tossed and turned on the soft king-sized bed. What is he thinking? How can he tell me that I could leave like it didn’t matter anymore? Is he really fine with me leaving?

My brows furrowed together before I closed my eyes and covered them with my hands. I’m going crazy and it hasn’t been a day yet that I’ve been locked up in here. The territory that I had fought so hard to earn had been taken from me. I can’t roam around the mansion anymore and now I wasn’t just confined to my rooms. My territory is now much smaller, and it didn’t even have any windows!

I miss my art studio already and Little Hayden, although he turned out to be traitor. Why is that dog so in love with Harvey? It didn’t make any sense.

However, that wasn’t what I missed the most right now and it wasn’t what was the most important thing right now…

’I can’t be bothered to discipline a girl that doesn’t obey my orders,’

Hayden’s words came back to me again. My mind replayed it over and over and it was driving me insane. It was like he was still here with me and saying those words to me. I didn’t just remember his words. I felt the pain anew each time his words replayed itself in my mind. I remembered everything about it, his face when he said it, his tone of voice when he said it, and how I felt when he said it.

Perhaps he was right, and he shouldn’t be bothered anymore with a girl who doesn’t obey his orders. My chest felt tight, and tears stung the back of my eyes as I thought about the possibility that perhaps he didn’t want me anymore. Without realizing it, and without the ability to stop my own tears, I started crying again.

Although, I knew that it wouldn’t help with anything, I continued to cry some more.

…

The next morning, I woke up with painful and very swollen eyes. To be fair, I had no idea if it was morning or not because I didn’t know when I fell asleep and how long I slept for. If my biological clock was functioning fine, then it was supposed to be morning. The room was silent but that didn’t mean that I enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Since I wasn’t tied to the bed like the last time that this happened, I could get up and relieve myself in the toilet without Hayden’s help.

As I sat down on the toilet, I wondered if I had made the wrong decision not to tie myself up. If I had tied myself up, maybe Hayden would be here because he would know that I had to go to the toilet and that I couldn’t go without his help. Then again, perhaps he had no problem with me peeing right on the bed.

"I look like a mess…" I muttered to myself as I stared at my own reflection in the mirror.

The bathroom was decent and had everything including a shower and a bathtub. Everything seemed new and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was recently renovated. I took a shower, feeling thankful that Hayden didn’t insist that I tie myself up to the bed. When my body was cleaner, I felt slightly better. There weren’t any clothes in the room, so I wore a white bathrobe after I was done with my shower.

I sat back down on the large bed. Now what?

Do I just pray that Hayden would remember that he left me in here? Do I pray harder so that he’ll pay me a visit?

Just as those thoughts were running through my mind, the door to the room started sliding open. My eyes widened as I realized what was happening. My body moved on its own as I jumped out of bed and headed towards the door.

"Hayden!" I cried out his name happily.

My excitement soon evaporated when I realized that Hayden wasn’t on the other side of the door. In fact, there was no one on the other side of the door. I looked down at the cart of food and drinks that had been placed right at the entrance of the room. This was certainly an elaborate way to delivery breakfast. I bit my lower lip in disappointment as tears stung the back of my eyes.

Why do I get emotional so easily these days? I was so disappointed that Hayden wasn’t there that it hurt so badly.

This was surely a lack of security based on my previous experiences. There were no guards at my door and with the door open now, I could easily walk around the hallway and other places in this underground floor.

However…

’I can’t be bothered to discipline a girl that doesn’t obey my orders,’

His words put an immediate halt to any thought or action that I may have thought about. I was too scared of the consequences to disobey any of his orders anymore and it wasn’t because I was scared of his punishments. I was scared that Hayden would no longer care about me…

If this is a test then, I’m not going to fail it for sure this time.

I approached the cart of food and began pushing it into my new room. Once I had returned into the room with the cart of deliveries, the metal door immediately began sliding close. The door closed firmly before it locked itself. I picked up a small piece of handwritten note that was placed on top of the cart.

’Eat’

The message was short and simple. It was very much like Hayden to write something like this.

Honesty, there was too much food for one person, and I also found out that apart from the food, other necessities were arranged for me as well including my clothes. I guess, I’m going to be stuck in here for a while longer.

 

Chapter 263: On the Other Side

After leaving Malissa in the room underground, Hayden returned to his room to find a very worried-looking Auntie pacing around his living room. He glanced around at the overly decorated dining table along with the immense amount of untouched food as he wondered what this feast of a party was supposed to be for.

"What’s this?" he asked bluntly.

"Hayden! Why are you back so late?! Where is Malissa? She was supposed to meet me here to check the decoration and everything else. I called her but she didn’t turn up. I called her again and again…" Auntie wailed in panic.

Hayden watched with furrowed brows as the old woman wrung her hands around like she was about to burst out crying. He quickly realized that she had not replied to his question at all and had asked him many more questions in return.

"Answer my question first," Hayden demanded curtly.

"Malissa called me earlier. She said she wanted to have a special dinner with you, so I helped her prepare it. But when I called her to come here, she didn’t turn up. I’ve been waiting all this time. Was she with you? Where is she now?" Auntie asked anxiously.

Hayden glanced over at the overly elaborate effort to set up a special dinner. If Malissa hadn’t wandered into Harvey’s wing and met Harvey, they would probably be having a joyous dinner together right around now. However, he knew well that that wasn’t possible anymore.

"Malissa already left the mansion," Hayden replied flatly.

Auntie gasped in shock and her hands flew to cover her mouth.

"What? That’s impossible. What happened? Why did she leave so suddenly?" Auntie said in shock.

"She’s gone and that is all that you need to know. Please arrange to pack up her things from her room," Hayden said passively.

"You can’t be serious…" Auntie whispered.

"Do as I say," Hayden said firmly before walking away towards his bedroom.

"Hayden! Wait!" Auntie called after him.

Hayden didn’t reply and didn’t look back. The door to his bedroom opened and he disappeared through it before the door closed firmly behind him. Auntie’s sorrowful eyes glanced from the closed door of Hayden’s bedroom to the decorated dining table full of food and flowers.

"Malissa…where did you go?" Auntie whispered regretfully.

…

Harvey watched from his seat on the sofa as his younger brother approached him. His eyes tried to read his brother’s emotionless face before he sighed in resignation. His attention wandered to the dog sleeping peacefully on his lap as his hand continued stroking its head gently. His eyes flickered toward his brother once again when Hayden sat down on the sofa opposite from where he was seated.

"So, where did you dump her body?" Harvey asked mockingly.

Hayden’s eyes narrowed at his brother and Harvey faked a mocking look of fear as he placed a hand over his chest.

"She’s underground and that’s all that you need to know," Hayden replied curtly.

"Oh…so she’s still breathing…" Harvey said, clearly amused.

"She won’t meet or talk to anyone. You don’t have to worry," Hayden said monotonously.

"Hmm…so you couldn’t bring yourself to kill her…interesting…" Harvey said before smiling.

"You shouldn’t have touched her…you took your sick jokes too far," Hayden said with an edge to his voice.

Harvey laughed a little and the dog on his lap stirred. Noticing that he was perhaps too loud, he began stroking the dog again to put it to sleep.

"Don’t act like it’s such a big deal. I only touched her neck a little. I promise, I didn’t touch her breast…I was close, though…" Harvey said, still in the mood for jokes.

"Harvey…" Hayden muttered darkly.

"I’m joking. Although you almost slept with Amelia once or twice, right? Let’s just say that we’re even for now," Harvey said with a shrug.

"I never got close to sleeping with Amelia. She did ask very often that it got annoying, though…" Hayden replied with annoyance.

"That was before she discovered that I existed and then she didn’t want you anymore," Harvey teased.

"Thankfully so…" Hayden murmured as he relaxed into the sofa.

Harvey thought that his brother looked tired. He’s been looking tired for a while now so the work outside must be getting to him. Harvey understood very well how tough the work was and he was thankful to his brother for temporarily filling up his shoes.

"Well, as long as that girl is kept isolated from the world, I guess it’s not a problem…" Harvey said with a firm nod of his head.

"Don’t act like you’re not to blame at all for this, Harvey…" Hayden snapped.

"I didn’t do anything. What did I do?" Harvey asked with wide innocent eyes.

Hayden shook his head at his brother before sitting himself down on the sofa opposite from him. Harvey followed his brother’s movement with his eyes as his hand continued to pet Little Hayden. Hayden’s eyes immediately went to the troublesome puppy that had bonded too well with his elder brother.

"Why did that dog run in here?" Hayden asked.

"How am I supposed to know that?" Harvey replied with a careless shrug.

"That dog ran in here to see you. Why? Because you’ve been secretly playing with it every single day for a while now, haven’t you?" Hayden openly accused his brother.

"Not quite every day. Well, most days…" Harvey admitted hesitantly.

Hayden looked at his brother with a look of pure annoyance before clicking his tongue.

"I told you not to cause any trouble…" Hayden growled.

"I didn’t cause any trouble. I was just playing with a dog," Harvey said in his own defense.

"That dog isn’t your dog. It’s Malissa’s dog…" Hayden reminded his brother coldly.

"So what? He likes me more…" Harvey argued.

"You sound like a six-year-old…I can’t believe this…" Hayden snapped at his brother again.

"I mean it. I didn’t do anything…" Harvey continued.

"Really? Then, answer me. How did you first meet that dog?" Hayden asked.

"Hmm…he was wandering around in front of my hallway and so I called out to it. Of course, he came running obediently," Harvey said with a smile.

 

Chapter 264: Alive and Well

"How many times have you met the dog since then?" Hayden inquired.

"Countless times. I feed Little Hayden here loads of snack and he fell in love with me…" Harvey said, a little too proudly.

"More like he fell in love with the snacks. So, how did the dog get in this room?" Hayden continued asking.

"I always keep the door open for him in case he turns up. He usually does so…" Harvey replied casually.

"You left the door open. I knew it," Hayden said as his eyes narrowed at his brother in disapproval.

"If I didn’t leave it open then how could Little Hayden come in. Because of your warning no one in their right mind would even enter the hallway to my wing anyways," Harvey said with a slight complaint.

"Some girls aren’t in their right mind…" Hayden muttered as if talking to himself.

"Haha! Evidently so…" Harvey said after laughing loudly.

"You realize that this is your fault, right? You knowingly built a relationship with that dog. Then he ran in here and Malissa had to follow. On top of that, you left the door to the room opened…" Hayden pointed out.

"Hmm…I guess…" Harvey said without much of a care.

"You wanted to see her, didn’t you?" Hayden said knowingly.

"Maybe…" Harvey replied as he cocked his head to the side.

…

**Three days later**

It’s been three days since I’ve been locked up in here and I haven’t seen Hayden since. I knew that he was beyond mad at me but a part of me sort of expected him to pay me a visit some time soon. Now it has been three days and he hasn’t turned up at all. I felt quite fine when he didn’t turn up to see me on the first day.

He was probably still mad so I had expected that he wouldn’t come down here to see me. However, as the second day past by without Hayden paying a visit, I started to feel very anxious and slightly depressed about it.

By the end of the third day, I was fully depressed and losing my appetite to follow his instruction for me to ’eat’ the food and everything else that was periodically delivered to the room. On top of it all, I was bored and overly worried about the lack of progress on my commission work.

Since I was stuck here and had no access to my art studio or any of my canvases and tools, I have not made any progress on my commission work. Neither did I have internet access to get in contact with my clients to tell them about the potential delay in the work.

Without anything to indicate the date and time, I had started using the arrival of my meals to tell me the time. It wasn’t a stretch to assume that the meals arrived on time, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I guess this is what it means to lose it all and start again from square one. If Hayden would just come down here to see me, I could talk to him about my worries. He’ll probably listen to me more or less if I had all the right reasons lined up. I’ve thought repeatedly about what I would say to him if and when he came down here.

The biggest problem was that whenever the door to the room opened, no one was there apart from the trolley of food.

If this goes on any longer, I’m going to start talking to that trolley…

Suddenly, the familiar sound of the door sliding opening filled the room. My head immediately turned towards the door to see that I was right, the door was sliding open. I got off the bed and quickly headed for the door. I just had lunch and not enough time had past for it to be dinner time which can only mean that the door is opening for some other reason than to deliver me food. Finally!

"Alive and well?"

A familiar voice greeted me, and my eyes widened as the door fully opened to reveal a tall man dressed in an impeccably stylish dark blue suit. He smiled at me, and a chill ran down my spine. Automatically, I took a few steps back, retreating into my room as my eyes stared at him.

"Harvey…" I whispered in pure shock.

Why is he here? Where is Hayden?

"This sure is a lot of security. I had to walk so far just to get here…" Harvey complained playfully as he took a couple of steps forward until he was standing inside my room.

He smiled at me as his blue eyes watched me closely. The door behind him slowly slid close and locked itself.

Great, I’m locked inside this room with Harvey. Perhaps, I had survived before, but I didn’t see how I could get out of this alive this time. My body trembled and I realized that I was extremely frightened of him and what he might do to me.

"Sorry for disappointing you. My brother is still quite mad at you so he’s not going to be showing his face here any time soon…unfortunately…" Harvey apologized with absolutely no remorse.

I didn’t know what to say to that, so I just bit my lip and averted my eyes from his penetrating gaze. He was right, I was extremely disappointed. For a moment, I honestly thought that Hayden had finally come to see me. How long is he going to be angry at me for?

"You should take a seat and relax, I’ll be here for a while," Harvey said casually.

I jumped in my panic as he made his way deeper into the room and sat down on a chair next to the table. His eyes were immediately on the various restraining objects placed on the table and a small smile curved his lips. Although he hasn’t done anything yet, I could feel the danger emanating from his body in waves.

Slowly, he ran his fingertips along a handcuff placed on the table as if he was admiring its beauty and I gulped before my entire body froze.

 

Chapter 265: A Crazy Visitor

Unfortunately, I was reminded again that this man is Harvey Torex, the first person in line to take over the Torex gang. He’s the real heir of Torex.

A lump formed in my throat as I watched Harvey continuing to run his fingers along the handcuffs on the table. He didn’t say anything, but he seemed to be thinking of something. I took a few steps back to distance myself from him.

"You should take a seat," Harvey said casually, his eyes still lingering on the handcuffs.

My body wouldn’t move, and it was like I was frozen to the spot. After a moment, Harvey turned his head around to look at me. His face told me that he wasn’t quite impressed that I was still standing quite far away from where he was seated.

"Come over here and sit down on this chair," he commanded with full detail.

I gulped before I bit my lower lip as I willed my body to move. Slowly, I made my way to the chair located very close to where Harvey was sitting. Finally, I was sitting close to Harvey, and he presented me with a charming smile as his eyes watched my face intently.

The silence in the room was abruptly disturbed when Harvey began giggling before his giggles fully transformed into loud laughs. My eyes widened at his outburst, and I wondered what he thought was funny. I haven’t said anything, and I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to say anything.

"You don’t have to act so scared…even if you are," Harvey said while trying to control his own laughter.

That was easy for him to say. He probably forgot that he was the one who suggested to Hayden that I should be killed very recently. That hadn’t slipped my mind.

"I guess I should apologize for taking my joke too far the other day. You were so scared that I thought it was funny," Harvey said followed by a grin.

It was hard for me to believe that he was actually apologizing, and then again, I wasn’t sure if Harvey really felt guilty about it. His character really did surprise me, though. Now that we were chatting alone in my new room, he felt very casual and surprisingly easygoing.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say that he was someone who was easy to deal with, but he didn’t seem as intimidating and dangerous as I perceived him at first.

"It’s ok…" I mumbled.

Harvey smiled a relief smiled before he nodded his head at me. I still wondered why he came to see me. He didn’t come all the way down here just to apologize for what he did to me the other day, right? I wasn’t sure what he wanted from me, but I knew what I wanted from him.

"You want to know what Hayden has been up to and why he hasn’t visited you, don’t you?" Harvey asked with a know-it-all smile.

He read my mind. Just like that, he read my mind. I thought I knew this before when I first met him but now that I was meeting him for the second time, I was convinced that the first impression that I had of him was absolutely correct. This man is crazy.

"You think I’m crazy, don’t you?" Harvey asked as he smiled knowingly at me.

How did he…?

"No one’s ever told you before? What you think shows on your face," Harvey said followed by a laugh that echoed joyously in the room.

"What has Hayden been up to these days?" I asked in a small voice.

"Are you worried about him? Or…are you perhaps wondering why he hasn’t been around to see you?" Harvey asked teasingly.

I bit my tongue to keep myself from screaming at him as my frustration started to take over. He’s just toying with me, and I had to say that I didn’t quite like it. Unfortunately, I also knew that he was my only source of information right now. I have to hold it in. I didn’t think that I would get any answers out of Harvey that easily. He was probably harder to negotiate and deal with than Hayden.

To make it worse, I wasn’t willing to offer anything up to barter with him, my body included.

"Hayden and I…we’re just buying time," Harvey stated softly yet extremely seriously after a small pause.

His words and confession caught me completely off guard. My eyes widened and my mouth hung open as I stared at his slightly sorrowful face.

"Excuse me?" I whispered, not quite believing what I have just heard.

"We’re just buying time. Although, I have no idea how much we can actually buy…" Harvey said wistfully before sighing.

Something was clearly weighing on his mind, and I wondered if he would tell me if I asked. What was so important to them that the brothers decided to fake Harvey’s death for. There must be a good reason behind all of this.

"Do you want to know why we faked my death for all these years? You want to know, don’t you?" he asked excitedly like a boy eager to spill his secrets.

I had to say that I didn’t expect him to tell me this easily. He even brought it up himself and now I was truly confused. I can’t read this man at all. I had no idea what Harvey was thinking.

"Yes, I do…" I admitted truthfully.

"Haha! You’re a funny girl, seriously. I’m starting to see why Hayden has taken a liking to you. You’re honest and very straight forward," Harvey said while he continued to laugh.

I was being honest, but he was the one who asked so I didn’t quite understand why he was finding it so funny. Then again, I should probably stop trying to understand a crazy man. It just might drive me crazy as well.

"Are you going to tell me?" I prompted.

"Hmm…nope. I’m not going to tell you because Hayden would kill me for it," Harvey said before laughing loudly at me.
