Ch. 276..280: Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion Chapter 276-280
Chapter 276: Secret Attention
His hand began stroking my back up and down and a soft moan escaped my lips. Hayden chuckled teasingly close to my ear as he enjoyed my reaction to his tender caresses. I guess my desperate prayers were answered because Hayden seemed to be in an unusually good mood. I wondered what had happened to initiate such a change in him.
Honestly, I didn’t mind not knowing as long as he continued to treat me so lovingly. His hand slid lower from my back to trace the curve of my waist before proceeding even lower to stroke the curve of my hips and then my buttocks.
My body started squirming against his in response to his seductive caresses as my moans got louder by the second. If this continues, we’ll probably end up doing it again although we’ve just had sex last night. His touches on my body quickly got bolder and my breathing started coming out as shallow pants as desire started to cloud my mind.
"Hayden…" I whimpered his name sweetly.
Suddenly, the sound of a very familiar ringtone cut through the peaceful silence of the room. I didn’t know whether to curse at the bad timing or to count myself as lucky and spared when Hayden’s phone started ringing. He normally would put the phone on silent, so I wasn’t sure if he had simply forgotten or if he had decided to keep the sound on purpose. Regardless, the result was the same.
Hayden’s hands left my turned-on body and began reaching for his phone while I took in deep breaths to calm the fire that was raging in my throbbing core.
"What do you want?" Hayden spoke through the phone once the line connected.
I couldn’t hear the person on the other side of the line but the annoyance in Hayden’s tone was as plain as day.
"I don’t really care what you decide to do," Hayden said coldly.
There was a pause as Hayden seemed to be listening to what the other person was saying. Whatever that person was saying, Hayden didn’t seem to like it. After a moment of silence, Hayden sighed, and I could feel the bed shifting as he sat up on the bed. Feeling slightly panicked, I also sat up in bed next to Hayden.
"It’s not safe. I won’t allow it," Hayden said without hesitation.
I had no idea what he was talking about or who he was talking to. My eyes widened in the dark as curiosity flooded my braincells in wonder. What won’t he allow? What wasn’t safe? Safe for who or what?
"I can’t exactly stop you so do whatever you want," Hayden said emotionlessly before he hung up the phone.
A thudding sound sounded, and I realized that Hayden had tossed his phone somewhere before he got out of bed. Hayden was clearly not in the mood to finish what he had just started, and I knew better than to ask him about that phone call just now. His focus had completely shifted and soon the light flooded the room.
Hayden was still completely naked, and my eyes focused on the beautiful muscles of his back when my eyes had adjusted to the bright light. I sat up in bed with the covers still covering my naked body as my eyes travelled down his back to admire his beautiful and firm buttocks. He’s so beautiful. Even his ass is beautiful.
"Harvey called," Hayden said passively without turning to face me.
My mouth hung open and I was immediately thankful that he did not turn around to see my dumbfounded expression. Did he just tell me about the phone call? I didn’t even have to ask, not that I had any fancy plans to ask him about it.
"I see…" I mumbled, still in shock.
"I don’t have any clothes down here…shit…" Hayden complained before swearing as he paced around the room naked.
He was right. He didn’t have any clothes down here.
"Can you get Auntie or one of the maids to deliver some of your clothes?" I suggested.
"No. No one has access to this floor and this room except for my father, Harvey and me," Hayden replied as he flexed his neck from side to side.
If that’s the case, then…
"Who’s been delivering me food all this time?" I asked cluelessly.
I had always thought that it was the maids but if they didn’t have access to this room then…
It couldn’t be…
"Did you deliver my food?" I asked after coming to the only plausible conclusion.
I couldn’t quite see Harvey or the boss delivering my meals to me, so the only option left after going through the process of elimination was Hayden.
"It was quite entertaining to see your disappointed look each time you came out to wheel the trolley inside," Hayden teased.
"So, you…really delivered my meals?" I asked still in completely disbelief.
"Don’t worry, I didn’t cook or prepare it," Hayden said with a small laugh.
That wasn’t the point at all. Three meals were delivered to me daily starting with breakfast, lunch and then ending with dinner. If Hayden delivered those meals to me then, he must have been here somewhere close by all day long?
"You didn’t go to work?" I asked with sudden realization.
"I need to get some clothes…" Hayden muttered, ignoring my question.
While I was struggling with how to feel about the fact that Hayden had somehow been taking care of me secretly while I was locked up in here, Hayden had picked up his phone and had started calling someone.
"Bring me some clothes," Hayden said emotionlessly into the phone.
If only three people could access this place, then he’s probably calling Harvey. After all, I didn’t think that Hayden would call his father to deliver him some clothes.
"They won’t realize if you don’t say too much to them. Just go to my bedroom and get me some clothes," Hayden demanded before hanging up.
"Will it really be ok for Harvey to walk around the mansion?" I asked, feeling a little worried.
Chapter 277: His Troubles
"This isn’t the first and won’t be the last time that he’s going to do this. No one will find out. Even you had a hard time distinguishing between the two of us at first, right?" Hayden said carefreely.
That was sort of true but…
"From the photo, I guess you’re right, but I could tell almost right away when I met Harvey that he wasn’t you," I replied.
"Harvey’s going to be here soon. I suggest you stop worrying about him and focus on getting some clothes on," Hayden said as his eyes moved from my face down to my hand that was still clutching the sheets to cover my naked chest.
I had to admit that he was right.
…
By the time that Harvey arrived, I was dress up well enough to greet him. The door slid open, and Harvey walked in proudly. As always, Harvey was dressed in a very similar style to Hayden and the way he styled his hair was the same. Looking up and down his profile, I had to admit that they really did look alike.
With the effort that Harvey had obviously put in to look like his younger brother, I was certain that the staff couldn’t tell them apart.
"Here are your clothes…" Harvey said lazily as he tossed some clothes at Hayden.
"Did you run into anyone?" Hayden asked while sounding bored.
"No. Can you put some clothes on now…please..." Harvey replied as he sat himself down on a chair and waved Hayden away.
I watched Hayden’s naked back as he walked into the bathroom. It was strange but I had started getting used to seeing Hayden naked. Hayden did have a habit of walking about naked, and I guess Harvey didn’t enjoy seeing his brother like that. Harvey let out a sigh after Hayden had disappeared into the bathroom. He seemed drained of energy and there were dark circles under his eyes.
The two brothers seemed a little tired as of late and I couldn’t help but wonder if there was something that was bothering them.
"You look a little tired…" I said softly as I tried to gauge Harvey’s reaction.
"If you want to know what’s going on, you have to ask Hayden. But you’re right, we’re both tired," Harvey replied very directly.
Right…
"You really can’t tell me anything?" I whispered just in case Hayden might hear us.
"He explicitly told me not to tell you anything and I was forced to agree to his request. So that is that," Harvey said before shrugging helplessly.
"I see. Well then that can’t be helped…" I said regretfully.
"What can’t be helped?" Hayden asked as he walked back into the room.
I wasn’t sure if Harvey did it intentionally but the clothes that he had picked out for Hayden looked very similar to the ones that he was wearing. The style, the color, the pattern, and everything was very similar.
"Umm…it’s nothing…" I replied before smiling at him to cover things up.
He didn’t just here everything that I said to Harvey, did he?
"Malissa was asking if something is wrong because she’d observed that we both look tired," Harvey summarized royally well to his brother.
My eyes bulged at how quickly he had spilled the beans. Did I have to tell him directly that I didn’t actually want Hayden to know what we were talking about? Plus, I wasn’t mentally prepared to ask Hayden about what was going on. I sneaked a small peek in Hayden’s direction and saw that his face had settled into a stern look.
"There’s something that you want to ask?" Hayden asked as his icy blue eyes focused on my face.
I wanted to disintegrate into thin air while I cursed Harvey for putting me right on the spot like this. What do I say now?
"Umm…Harvey’s right. I just thought that you two looked tired and stressed out lately…so I was wondering about the cause of it…and if there’s something that I can do to help," I said hesitantly.
Hayden’s eyes remained glued to my face as he slowly took in my words. His expression did not change, and I had no idea what his reaction was to my honest question. I glanced nervously in Harvey’s direction to beg for his help with my eyes. Harvey’s eyes met mine and he smiled innocently at me before quickly looking away. It was clear that he had no intention whatsoever in helping me.
"There are some decisions that Harvey and I need to make. It doesn’t concern you and there is nothing for you to worry about," Hayden replied flatly.
"Ok…" I mumbled as I nodded my head slightly.
Harvey’s eyes returned to my face, and I could tell by the look on his face that what Hayden said wasn’t entirely true. Harvey looked like he had something that he wanted to say but then quickly decided against it before he looked away from me again.
"Malissa, can I borrow Hayden for a bit?" Harvey asked before smiling sweetly at me.
"Oh, sure. Of course…" I replied as I tried my best not to stutter.
"Thank you. Don’t worry, I’ll bring him right back to you when we’re done talking," Harvey said reassuringly.
"Aha…" I mumbled as I nodded in acknowledgement.
"Let’s go. There’s no need to put this off any further," Hayden said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
I watched silently as the two men made their way out of the room. Before the door closed completely behind them, Hayden turned around and looked directly at me.
"Wait here. I’ll be back soon," he said.
If I wasn’t daydreaming or simply imagining things, then there must have been some warmth and gentleness in Hayden’s voice just now.
The door closed firmly behind them, and the automatic mechanism locked the door immediately. I had no idea what the brothers had to talk about, but it seemed important. Anxiousness and curiosity filled me, and I had no remedy for it apart from Hayden’s parting words to give me comfort.
I had a few things that I needed to get Hayden’s permission for, and I decided to use the time that he was away to gather up my courage to talk to him properly.
Chapter 278: Private Agreement
After leaving Malissa’s room the two brothers made their way to Harvey’s wing of the mansion where they could have their conversation without any disturbances. Harvey sat down on the sofa before stretching his arms above his head. Hayden took the seat opposite from his brother but didn’t say anything.
"Do you still believe in peace, Hayden?" Harvey asked, getting right to the point.
"I’m not sure…" Hayden replied.
"Amelia believed in peace. She believed in it so much that it started rubbing off on me," Harvey said before laughing softly.
His eyes travelled to the various portraits of Amelia that hung from the walls as if he was recalling memories of her. Hayden followed his brother’s gaze as his blue eyes passively took in Amelia’s beauty.
"That was my fault…" Hayden whispered, his tone heavy with regret.
Harvey’s eyes returned to his brother before he shook his head slowly from side to side.
"Maybe it was or maybe it wasn’t. No one knows and it’s up to you what you want to believe," Harvey replied calmly.
"I shouldn’t have told her anything…" Hayden muttered.
Harvey smiled sadly at his brother before his gaze shifted to a portrait of Amelia. After a while of staring silently at it, Harvey turned to look directly at Hayden.
"I got this painting commissioned when I made up my mind to marry Amelia. She probably thought that I proposed to her on a whim but that wasn’t the case at all. I thought long and hard about it. I even consulted our old man about it. She wouldn’t believe me if I told her that, though…" Harvey said casually.
Hayden’s eyes travelled to the painting that his brother was referring to. Much to his surprise, the painting depicted Amelia with her eyes closed with a serene smile on her face while her hands were bounded together by deep green vines of red roses with sharp thorns.
"I guess this was after you locked her up in one of the rooms underground for a few days and she survived?" Hayden asked mockingly.
"Correct. Sometimes, I think you’re being too nice to Malissa but then I’m not so sure," Harvey said, only half-jokingly.
"So, why are you telling me all this?" Hayden asked.
After seeing that his brother had taken a look at the painting, Harvey decided to continue with what he wanted to say.
"It’s not easy being a mafia’s woman and our dead mother is great proof of that. Casual dating is fine, and all good but serious relationships and marriage is difficult. Then there’s the whole issue on producing the heir to take over the gang," Harvey said with a sigh.
Hayden’s eyes rested on the small trickles of blood oozing out from the wounds on Amelia’s arms in the painting. He imagined her pain and recognized the contrast of that against the peaceful and serene smile that Amelia has on her lips.
"Content and willing to bear the pain…" Hayden surmised softly with his eyes still resting on Amelia’s face in the painting.
"Correct," Harvey reaffirmed.
"Is that what you’re worried about? The succession line?" Hayden said as he started to frown.
"Partly. I would be lying if I told you that I don’t worry about that at all. I’m not like you. I completely side with our father on this one. This gang needs an heir to properly secure the future for the gang and all its members," Harvey said as his eyes narrowed at Hayden.
"I see…" Hayden murmured.
"I know we were not raised the same but trust me when I say this. I’m very worried about you and Malissa…" Harvey said solemnly.
"She won’t…end up like Amelia. I won’t end up making the same mistakes," Hayden stated resolutely.
"Don’t blame yourself too much. Amelia wouldn’t like that," Harvey said quickly.
"My beliefs almost got her killed…" Hayden said before closing his eyes in pain.
"Don’t overestimate yourself. It wasn’t your beliefs; it was her own beliefs. Amelia has her own beliefs and things that she wanted to fight for…" Harvey replied with a faraway look in his eyes.
"But if I didn’t talk to her about bringing about peace between the gangs, she may not have gotten so involved," Hayden murmured sadly.
"She was engaged to the heir of Silva. It doesn’t matter what you said or didn’t say, she was already involved. Amelia and I, we both knew that it wouldn’t be easy to cut her ties with Silva. Both Ethan and his father are hard to deal with," Harvey stated matter-of-factly.
"But still…" Hayden murmured, still not completely convinced.
"We knew that our decision came with a price, and we were willing to pay it," Harvey said decisively.
"Amelia never should have ended up like this…" Hayden muttered as he looked away.
"But she did. It’s not your fault," Harvey said sadly.
"I don’t know what I should do anymore…" Hayden admitted with a loud sigh.
"I don’t know what you should do either but what about what you want to do?" Harvey asked.
"What I want to do…" Hayden said softly as if thinking to himself.
Harvey watched his younger brother as he seemed to struggle with his own thoughts. If anything, Harvey wanted Hayden to understand what he wanted even if it was different from what he should do.
"I know that I’m running out of time," Harvey spoke up after a while.
"She might wake up so please don’t give up on her," Hayden said in an attempt to comfort his brother.
"I won’t ever give up on her. I can’t…but you don’t need to lie to me. You’re a doctor after all. You don’t think that she’ll wake up, right?" Harvey said knowingly.
"I don’t know…" Hayden mumbled.
"We’ll stick to the same deadline. If Amelia doesn’t regain her consciousness by then, I’ll let her go," Harvey said flatly.
"Harvey…" Hayden whispered in shock.
"It’s fine. Amelia’s been officially dead for a long time now. We’re just going to make reality match the papers," Harvey said before smiling sadly at his brother.
"You’ll be forced to marry someone else if you decide to take over. The old man isn’t going to give up on securing an heir," Hayden reminded his brother.
Chapter 279: Indecisive
"I know that. Sorry for putting you and Malissa through this. I’m such a selfish brother…" Harvey apologized sadly.
"You are…but I don’t mind," Hayden quickly replied.
"Thank you, Hayden…" Harvey thanked his brother warmly.
Hayden didn’t know what to say anymore so he just nodded at his brother. The conversation died down, but it seemed like Harvey wanted to discuss something else. Hayden waited patiently for his brother to start the conversation that they couldn’t keep avoiding anymore.
"About Ethan’s request to meet with you and Malissa, what will you do?" Harvey asked as his eyes stared sharply at Hayden.
"I won’t allow it. I won’t let the two of them meet even if I’m present," Hayden replied without a second thought.
"Even if she wants to meet him?" Harvey challenged.
"Why would she want to meet him? She has no reason to," Hayden snapped back as a frown formed between his brows.
Harvey could tell that he was rubbing Hayden the wrong way; however, this issue concerned more than Hayden’s relationship with Malissa, and he couldn’t afford to back down from this.
"I hate how you’re not telling Malissa anything and I’m sure that she hates not knowing anything," Harvey expressed his concern.
"If I tell her too much, she’ll get herself more than half killed just like Amelia…or worse…" Hayden retorted.
"How long are you planning to keep her locked up down there?" Harvey asked as he quirked a brow at Hayden.
"Not long…" Hayden replied vaguely.
"Don’t you think you’re overreacting about all this? I know you were mad at her for entering my wing of my mansion but the real reason you locked her up is because you’re scared that she’ll get in touch with Ethan, right?" Harvey stated his educated guess.
"He did ask to see her. That crazy bastard…" Hayden muttered darkly.
"I hate the Silvas and if I was the way I was before I met Amelia, I would annihilate them by force. However, I think you should talk to Ethan and see what he really wants," Harvey suggested with a serious look on his face.
"I already know what he wants," Hayden stated with certainty.
"That spoiled boy doesn’t want me to head Torex. He was the happiest when I supposedly died. Ethan was always fond of the idea of his friend taking over Torex," Harvey said before grinning at Hayden.
"I was never fond of that idea…" Hayden replied.
"Peace between the two gangs led by the two boys that he chose. That was the dream that Jack had. It doesn’t hurt to hear Ethan out. Maybe Torex can benefit from some mini peace treaty so that we can move on and focus more on raking in cash," Harvey said dreamily.
"Always the businessman, aren’t you?" Hayden teased, although he was half serious.
"Of course. I told you that I was trained differently," Harvey said followed by a chuckle.
"I don’t want to get Malissa involved," Hayden stated flatly.
"Just like Amelia, she’s been involved ever since the day that she was born. Despite Jack’s late efforts in trying to separate her from the gang, I sort of always knew that she would end up back here. She grew up well, I can tell…" Harvey said calmly.
"I’ll think about it…" Hayden said softly.
"If you decide not to go, do you think I could go as your stand-in body double? Do you think Ethan can tell us apart?" Harvey asked with a curious expression on his face.
"Don’t you dare think about it…" Hayden warned as his eyes narrowed at his brother.
Harvey looked at his brother’s scornful face and burst out laughing loudly. Hayden couldn’t tell if Harvey was being serious or if he was just joking; however, it wasn’t worth the risk to test Harvey and his wicked ideas.
…
That night Hayden returned to my room looking quite moody. Whatever he talked to his brother about probably didn’t go well and he wasn’t bothered to hide it from me. After entering the room, Hayden immediately headed for the bed and sat on it.
He glanced over at me before gesturing with his hand for me to join him. Wordlessly, I sat next to him on the bed with my legs curled up under me as I waited for him to say something. From the look on his face, it seemed like he had something that he wanted to say but he was hesitating to say it.
"Hayden…" I called out his name questioningly as I stared at his face.
"Mind if I stay the night?" he asked as he turned to look straight at me.
His clear blue eyes met mine and once again, I couldn’t look away from his intense gaze. Honestly, I was surprised that Hayden wanted to spend the night with me here instead of going back to his room. What surprised me even more was the fact that he was asking.
"You can stay…" I replied softly as I felt my blood rush to my cheeks.
"Thank you…" Hayden murmured.
His arms wrapped around my shoulders as he pulled me into a warm and tight hug. I was hugging him back tightly before I knew what was going on. He kissed my hair and then my ear, making my body tremble slightly in his arms. I could smell his familiar scent and the heat of his body on mine. Slowly, Hayden pushed me onto the bed and got on top of me.
"What are you thinking about?" I asked softly.
Unlike the many times that we’ve done it before, Hayden’s eyes seemed unfocused like his mind was elsewhere and there were many emotions that I couldn’t read in his eyes apart from his desire to have his way with me.
"You…" he replied in short before his lips sealed mine in a heated kiss.
His demanding and aggressive kiss surprised me, but it wasn’t unpleasant. I raised my hands up and wrapped my arms around his neck to pull him closer before running my fingers through his blond hair. Hayden must have liked it because he started moaning softly into our wet kiss as his tongue danced wildly within the depths of my mouth.
Chapter 280: I Want to Know
I started kissing him back like it was the most natural thing to do as his hands began a slow travel down the curves of my body. My mind struggled as it juggled the pleasure of Hayden’s passionate kiss with my own thoughts. I wondered what he meant when he said that he was thinking of me. What was Hayden thinking about or was it all just a figure of speech?
"What are you thinking about?" he asked softly after he broke our kiss.
My mind was already quite hazy, and I was panting hard as I stared up at his curious blue eyes that were looking down at me. Hayden was asking me the same question that I had just asked him before, and I found that a little funny.
"You…I was thinking of what you’re really thinking…" I replied honestly.
"Do you really want to know?" Hayden asked and I wasn’t sure if he was serious or if he was just teasing me.
The way he smiled down at me told me that it was probably a mix of both. I held my breath as I prayed that he would tell me something…anything. Hayden seemed more relaxed than before as if he had just solved a challenging puzzle. Either that, or he’s made up his mind about something that I was completely oblivious about.
Seeing that I haven’t yet said anything in response, Hayden’s hands began to leisurely undress me. I let him do whatever he wanted and lifted my arms up above my head for him to pull the short night gown off over my head. The slightly cool air brushed against my naked body, and I felt my nipples hardened.
I could feel Hayden’s gaze on my chest before his gaze travelled downwards to the plain of my stomach.
"I want to know…" I replied.
His blue eyes quickly returned to meet mine and I was convinced that he would tell me something. I didn’t mind what it was or how insignificant it may be. I wanted to know what he was thinking, and if possible, what was going on.
Hayden had a thoughtful look on his face as his fingertips began tracing my collarbones softly before slowly dipping down to tease the sensitive skin between my breasts. I let out a soft moan as my breast rose up and down from my breathing. I could feel his eyes on my breasts and my nipples hardened even further.
I wasn’t used to Hayden taking things slow but the pleasure that he invoked in me felt so sweet when his large hands gentled cupped and massaged my breasts.
A soft moan escaped me as Hayden continued to play around expertly with my breasts. His hands felt hot on my soft womanly flesh, and I cried out when his fingers began pinching my nipples playfully. I could feel his eyes watching me and all my reactions.
My nipples grew so taunt that they began to hurt a little as Hayden continued pinching on them and then rolling them in between his skillful fingertips. My body felt hot as desire flooded my entire being from the twin perks that he was playing with.
"Hayden…" I murmured his name as I closed my eyes and bit my lower lip to deal with the pleasure that was rapidly building inside of me.
Hayden didn’t reply to me, instead he lowered his head and engulf one of my nipples into his warm and wet mouth. I cried out at the pleasure of his attack as my hands were automatically in his soft blond hair. My mind was in a complete daze by this point, and I couldn’t think straight about anything anymore. My hands clutched at his hair as Hayden began sucking on my nipple.
The pressure of his sucking on my nipple was driving me insane and my body began writhing under him from the pleasure.
Hayden continued massaging and pumping my other breast with his other hand while his mouth continued to suck and then lick my nipple. Lust clouded my mind as desire took over my body. My pussy throbbed with heat and need. My hips began moving beneath him and I knew that I had started to get very wet down there.
By the time Hayden’s lips left my nipples, my entire body felt void of energy. I lay on the bed as Hayden gazed down at me from above. He really does look like an angel…but a troubled one.
My eyes widened when Hayden removed his clothes in swift motions that left his upper body bare. I took in a breath at the sight of his beautiful body. That was when I realized that we were doing it with the lights on and bright in the room. I must have made a face because Hayden grinned down at me as his hands moved down to his undo his pants.
Things were really getting out of hand, and I realized that I haven’t received answers to any of my questions. Despite what I was thinking my eyes couldn’t look away from the sight of Hayden magnificent body. Hayden removed himself away from me just enough for him to strip himself naked. Then his hands were on my bare legs as he stroked it up and down seductively.
"Hayden…wait…" I murmured as I tried to gather my last ounce of sanity.
For some reason, I felt like this had happened before and I was scared that if we didn’t talk now, he would change his mind. If I don’t talk to him now, we’ll end up going all the way and then when I wake up, he would probably be gone.
"What is it?" Hayden asked although I had a sense that he already knew what I was referring to.
I was speechless as my eyes fell to the thick and long upstanding pole in between his legs that he had freed from the constraints of his clothes. My mouth went dry and the pleasurable ache in my lower abdomen intensified.
