Ch. 76..80: Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion Chapter 76-80

Chapter 76: Changes

I was about to drift off into sleep when suddenly Hayden took my hand in his. He held my hand as we lay there side by side, staring up at the stars in the sky. I wished that the stars didn’t have eyes and were not witnesses to what we just did. That was such a silly thought and it made me feel very silly as well.

"Why were you crying?" Hayden asked out of the blue.

Honestly, I had no idea what he was referring to.

"Huh?" I said questioningly.

"The day I slept with you…Auntie told me that she saw you crying when you left my room. Why were you crying, Malissa?" Hayden asked as he turned his head to the side and looked straight at me.

My eyes widened in shock and surprise. Auntie told Hayden about that? I was also shocked at how he could ask me something like that with a straight face. How straightforward can this man be?

"I…it’s nothing," I replied.

I couldn’t be as straightforward as he was. I couldn’t bring myself to tell him that it was because I saw his photo with Amelia.

…

When I woke up the next morning, I wasn’t in my own bed. I sat up quickly in bed and look around to find that I was in Hayden’s room and on his bed. The man in question was no longer in the room.

Malissa, dearest, you need to start learning from your past mistakes. You see, if you fall asleep in Hayden’s car, he’s going to carry you to his room and not yours! Then you’ll sleep in the same bed as him and wake up in his bed the next morning…

I felt like kicking myself.

When I moved my legs, a pain shot through my core reminding me how rough Hayden was with me last night…and we did it outdoors on the grass. I bet Hayden just dumped me onto his bed and then went off somewhere again. My pussy felt sore and so did the rest of my body.

Slowly, I got out of bed and headed for the door so that I could go back and take a shower in my own bedroom. This time something else caught my eye.

I’m pretty sure that it was here last time. The photograph of Hayden and Amelia that I saw was no longer in sight.

Did he remove it? He must have…

Does that mean that he figured out that it bothered me?

I shook my head to clear my thoughts. Why am I over thinking everything? It doesn’t matter if the photo is here or not because it doesn’t change how Hayden feels.

I opened the door without hesitation and quickly got out of his room. The peace of my own bedroom welcomed me with opened arms, and I felt slightly better.

After checking the calendar on my phone, I realized that today was finally the day that I had a dinner appointment with my friends. When I made the appointment, I was sure that I could go places as long as had the small group of bodyguards with me. However, things have changed a little bit since then and that was mainly because of Hayden.

After showering and dressing up, I felt refreshed and in better spirits. Perhaps there was nothing to worry about. Hayden usually wasn’t back for dinner anyways and there were no rules against me going out to meet people. It has been a long time since I’ve met other people besides those from Hayden’s gang and my own grandmother and I could use the break.

I picked a nice-looking dress that I felt comfortable in and then applied some light make up. The dinner that was planned wasn’t at any place fancy, but it’s been a while since I’ve been out with friends. Dressing up a little bit isn’t going to hurt. I looked at my own reflection in the mirror and smiled. Please let today be a good day!

The growling of my stomach reminded me that I hadn’t eaten, and I was feeling pretty hungry. Taking out my phone, I started texting my friends in our group chat as I headed out of my bedroom in search for some food. As always, I was sure the Auntie had prepared some food in the dining room.

"Where are you going today?"

I froze at the sound of an unexpected voice. Slowly, I looked up from my phone at the owner of the voice. Why is Hayden here?

"Are you that shocked to see me?" Hayden asked as he crossed his arms.

To be honest, a little, yes. Hayden is up early today, and he hasn’t gone out. I cocked my head to the side in slight confusion as I watched him just sitting there at the dining table.

"So…where are you going today?" Hayden repeated his question again.

Right…I haven’t replied to him. Truthfully, I’m going out to meet my friends, but does he really need to know that?

"No where special…" I replied vaguely.

"Sit…" Hayden said as he glanced over at the seat opposite him at the table.

I pursed my lips together as I slowly made my way to the table and sat down where he had indicated. As predicted, there was some food on the table that Auntie had prepared. That reminded me that I was hungry.

"Eat. You’re hungry, right?" Hayden said.

"Yea…" I replied softly as I began picking up the utensils.

"You’re not going anywhere special. So, you decided to get all dolled up to stay home?’ Hayden said as he looked at me suspiciously.

I didn’t want to tell him but the way that he was silently staring at me with his blue eyes was making me feel so uncomfortable. With a sigh, I put down the utensils in my hand as I started to lose my appetite.

"I’m going out for dinner with some friends later today. That’s all," I replied, finally spitting out the truth.

"Good. I happen to be free tonight," Hayden said before smiling sweetly at me.

What?

"What do you mean?" I asked. Tell me this isn’t what I think it is.

 

Chapter 77: Dinner with Friends

"I’m free so I’ll go with you," Hayden said as if he’s doing me a big favor.

"No. I mean, you don’t have to accompany me or anything like that…" I said, trying to get Hayden to back off peacefully.

"Why not? I’m free, so I might as well go with you," Hayden said innocently.

Which part of ’I don’t want my friends meeting my mafia creditor’ does he not quite understand?

"Umm…that’s completely ok. I’ll get the men in black to drive me as usual. I mean, they’re supposed to go everywhere I go so…" I said as I smiled a little at him.

I can’t believe I’m actually appreciating having the men in black around me right now.

"Don’t you think you should introduce me to your friends?" Hayden said casually.

Big fat ’NO’.

I could hear alarm bells going off in my head, but I couldn’t think of a way to get Hayden to back off. Should I just be honest and let him know how I feel about this? Would he understand?

Even if he understood me, would he care enough to do what I want him to?

"Umm…to be honest, I think it’s a bad idea for you to meet my friends or anyone that is a part of my normal life for that matter. You know…it’s going to be hard to explain who you are and my current situation if they ask. I would appreciate it if no one found out about my current situation…" I told him honestly.

"I see…" Hayden said emotionlessly.

I guess he understood. That wasn’t so hard…

I was busy feeling thankful that Hayden seemed to understand me that I didn’t realize that he had gotten up from his seat until I heard the sound of the chair scraping against the floor. Wordlessly, Hayden got up to leave. I watched silently as he headed for the door. I guess he’s going out after all.

"Umm…have a good day…" I said.

"You too," he said without turning back to look at me.

The door to the penthouse shut behind him. Hayden was gone.

…

It was close to my appointment time with my friends. I touched up my makeup a little before leaving the house with my men in black escorts. Funny, but I was starting to get used to having them around and driving me around everywhere. I even got used to their silence as we rode together in the car.

We arrived at the restaurant where I was supposed to meet my friend after a ride with light traffic. Getting light traffic at this time of the evening was truly a blessing, usually the roads would be packed tight with cars.

When I arrived at the table booked under my friend’s name, all of my friends were already there. I walked over to them immediately as I waved at my friends to announce my arrival.

"Sorry that I’m late. I didn’t think that I would be the last one to arrive," I said apologetically as I took the last seat that was free at the table.

These four girls are my friends from university. It’s been a while since I’ve last seen them. We are quite close, and I enjoyed their company immensely.

"No worries. We just got here too," Jennie said as she handed me a menu.

"Thanks," I said.

"You should order quickly. I read from the reviews online that the food here can take a while…" Jennie explained.

I called the waitress over and quickly placed my order just as my friend had suggested. Once that was out of the way, I could bring my attention back to the conversation that was going on between the girls.

"We were a little worried when you didn’t reply to the chat. I thought something happened or something," my other friend said with a worried look on her face.

"Oh…I was just a little busy. My grandmother got a little sick…so yeah…" I replied hesitantly.

I didn’t lie or anything, but I just didn’t want my friends to find out about the mafia’s involvement. Who knows, it might put them in danger as well.

After that, we chatted about random things and about university. We all had the same projects to work on and talking to my friends really gave me a good update on what they were up to as well as some inspirations for my projects. I really enjoyed reconnecting with my normal life once again and couldn’t wait to go back to living this life.

Naturally, as time went by the conversation gravitated towards updating on our love life. Sadly, or not I wasn’t sure, but my friends were all still single. Well, so was I.

"I’m as single as can be. If you girls know any hot guys, let me know. He doesn’t even need to be a good guy at this point…" a friend said with an exasperated sigh.

"It’s not so good to be impatient, you know. I’m sure your dream guy will appear soon enough," I said, trying to cheer up my friend.

"What about you? Are you dating anyone right now?" Jenny asked me while the other girls focused their attention on me.

"Of course not. I’m too busy with university work and just taking care of grandmother. I don’t have time for anything like dating…" I replied firmly.

"Aha…" my friends said in unison.

I sensed something weird as I looked at my friend’s faces. Their eyes were wide and seemed to be focused somewhere else. Is there something strange behind me?

Slowly, I turned around…

"May I join you ladies? My apologies that I’m a little late…"

A voice that had gotten unfortunately familiar as of late cut through our conversation. It was my turn to open my eyes wide in shock.

Hayden…why is he here?!

"Why…why are you here?" I asked in shock as I jumped out of my seat.

Hayden was standing there right behind me with his most charming smile on his face. Why is he here? How did he get here?

 

Chapter 78: Uninvited Guest

Hayden just stood next to me and smiled brightly as he brought an arm up and placed it over my shoulders, hugging me to his side. My whole body froze.

"Oh…who’s this?" one of my girl friends asked with clear interest.

"He’s so hot…he’s so hot…" another one whispered to the girl next to her.

"Who is he, Malissa?" Jenny asked as she stared at me.

Why did he have to turn up here? I just told these girls that I was completely single and had no time for dating. This is so misleading…

"Umm…this is…" I said as I struggled to come up with something that would be believable.

Now what? Do I tell them that he is my friend? My distant cousin…?

"I’m Malissa’s boyfriend. My name is Hayden," Hayden said loudly and clearly as he pulled me roughly against him. I felt both of his arms around my neck as he hugged me from behind and rested his chin on my head.

Oh…shit.

"Wow! Really?" Jenny exclaimed excitedly while the other girls had similar reactions of shock.

"Malissa…you never told us that you had a boyfriend?" a girl said as she narrowed her eyes at me.

Well, that’s only because I didn’t have one. I mean, I still don’t have one.

I got her hidden message immediately. They’re going to grill me for not telling them and get me to tell them all the details about this later. Unfortunately, I couldn’t tell them anything about the debt, the contract, or the mafia.

I glanced at Hayden and cursed him internally. While I was worried about being discreet, this guy was so used to attracting attention.

"Oh, sorry about this. I didn’t know that you were bringing a plus one. Seriously, you should have told me so that I can book another seat," Jenny quickly said politely after recovering from her initial shock at Hayden’s sudden appearance.

"That’s ok. I’ll bring a chair over," Hayden said as he smiled his angelic smile at my friend.

I sighed softly to myself as I watched a bright red blush take over my friend’s face at the sight of Hayden’s mesmerizing smile. Another victim down. I guess this was why they say the devil is bewitching.

I sat back down in my seat as I tried to figure out how to deal with Hayden. He’s not going to say anything weird that will expose our twisted contract, right? I glanced over at Hayden who was bringing a chair over to our table.

This is a disaster. This is a disaster. This is a disaster. These words kept on replaying in my head.

Hayden brought a chair over and sat down next to me at the table. My friends couldn’t help but stare at Hayden and I guess that I could understand their reaction. Hayden and his looks truly stood out from the crowd.

"So…Malissa, why don’t you tell us more about your boyfriend?" my friend asked.

"Umm…actually, he’s not really…" I began denying.

"Oh, there’s no need to be shy!" my girl friend said excitedly.

"Malissa’s pretty shy about telling people about us. We just started dating a few weeks ago," Hayden said smoothly.

"Oh wow. So…how did you guys meet?" my friend asked eagerly.

Here comes the classic question. I can’t believe we’re going through this. What am I supposed to say? That we met because the head of the Torex mafia gang forced me to live with his son for 30 days to settle a huge debt?

"Umm…we…." I struggled to answer.

"We met at a church. After that we started talking and went on dates," Hayden replied, flawlessly.

I guess, we did meet at a church. I would never forget that disastrous wedding ceremony.

"A church? I didn’t know that you were so religious…" Jenny said as she turned to look at me.

"What do you do, Hayden? Are you working now or are you still studying?" my other friend asked.

Clearly, they were serious about getting to know everything about Hayden. While they had their attention on Hayden, my brain was busy trying to figure out how to excuse ourselves and get out of here as soon as possible.

"I work for my family’s business. It’s not very interesting though," Hayden said, sounding super humble.

My friends kept on bombarding us with questions about our relationship. Thankfully, Hayden managed to somehow answer them all. By this time, I was relief that Hayden seemed to want to keep our twisted relationship a secret. I guess Hayden doesn’t want to explain to other people about his complex family background either.

"I think we have to go. Sorry girls but I have to wake up early tomorrow to visit my grandmother at the hospital," I said as I got up to leave.

Grabbing Hayden’s hand in mine, I started pulling him to his feet too. Hayden looked at me innocently and for a moment he looked like he didn’t want to leave.

"Hayden, please…let’s go," I whispered to him.

"You owe me one," Hayden whispered into my ear once he got up to his feet.

"Bye girls. It was great catching up with you. I’ll see you girls another time soon," I said.

"It was good seeing you all. Thanks for taking care of my Malissa," Hayden said before flashing the girls his killer smile.

"Did you hear that he called her ’my Malissa’ just now?" my friend started teasing.

I couldn’t stop myself from blushing a little at their teasing. Without further delay, I started dragging Hayden behind me out of the restaurant.

"Why did you come here? How did you find this place? Did you follow me?" I fired questions at him the moment we stepped out of the restaurant.

"Chill out. Too many questions at once…" Hayden said lazily.

"Why did you come here? What do you think you’re doing? Why did you introduce yourself as my boyfriend?" I asked rapidly.

"I just told you…too many questions all at once…" Hayden said, still refusing to answer any of my questions.

"You can’t do this to me…" I hissed angrily.

"Let’s go home. I’ll drive," Hayden said and this time it was his turn dragging me.

"Wait! The men can drive me back," I said as I tried to pull my wrist away from his grip.

"They’re no longer here…" Hayden replied, sounding bored.

"What? Why?" I asked with a mix of shock and confusion.

"I sent them back already. Let’s be environmentally friendly and carpool," Hayden said with a small laugh.

He sent them back?!

 

Chapter 79: Line Between Reality and Make Believe

I ended up in Hayden’s car and I felt so angry that my chest felt like it could explode at any moment. Crossing my arms over my chest I stared out of the window. Although I was thankful that Hayden didn’t completely blow our covers and tell my friend about everything that was truly going on, I still felt like he had invaded my private space.

My friends and everything that happened inside that restaurant during dinner was a part of my real life. It was a life where he didn’t exist and didn’t have a place in. How can he not understand that? I don’t want this mafia nightmare that I was going through to be a part of my real life. I felt so stressed out about all this and I felt like I was going to cry.

I prayed that this ride would be over soon. I just wanted to be alone and sort myself out. Someway or another, I’m going to have to find a way to correct the misunderstanding with my friends. This is going to be so complicated and painful. My head started to ache, and it wasn’t a pleasant sensation.

"Are you mad?" Hayden asked abruptly, disturbing the silence of our drive back.

Do I look mad? Well, if that’s the case, it’s because I am. I am so out-of-my-mind mad right now.

"No…" I muttered a big fat lie. I just didn’t want to talk to him.

Knowing that I was this close to exploding, I just wanted to be left alone and any answer that would lead me closer to that outcome was the answer that I would choose.

"You’re not very honest. Your face looks really scary right now…" Hayden said teasingly.

I didn’t find his joke funny, and I didn’t care what my face looked like. What I cared about was protecting my ’normal life’, but it seemed that I had failed on that front as well.

"Ok…" I said, not knowing what else to say. Seriously, whatever. Just please stop talking to me.

Hayden was silent for a moment, and I thought that his awkward conversation had finally came to an end, but I was so wrong.

"If you’re mad about what I did then, I’m sorry. I just wanted to know more about your life…" Hayden spoke up without looking at me.

Honestly, I didn’t think that he would apologize. For that, I guess I had to give him a little credit. However, I didn’t think that he understood why I was angry.

"Why would you want to know more about my life?" I demanded to know.

"Why not? Don’t tell me that you think there’s nothing interesting in your life…" Hayden asked, sounding a little amused.

"That’s not…" I began defending myself but then decided to just drop it.

That’s not what I meant but I was losing my patience with him. I put a hand on my forehead as I closed my eyes and breathed in deeply. I don’t know how I’m supposed to deal with this guy. I could feel Hayden’s eyes on me, and he waited for me to continue with what I was saying.

"I don’t think there’s a need for you to know anything about me or my life. That’s all," I said stiffly.

"Then what about mine?" Hayden asked suggestively.

"About what?" I asked, slightly puzzled.

"My life. Don’t you want to know anything about my life?" Hayden asked, sounding very friendly.

"No…" I replied without hesitation.

"Hmm…that’s unexpected. My life is pretty interesting…and most of the time girls really want to know about it. Not that I’ve ever told them or shown them anything…" Hayden said.

Well, sorry that I’m not particularly interested.

"I don’t know…I just don’t think that we should get involved in each other’s private lives," I said, hoping that he would understand.

"Why do you think that?" he asked, clearly not understanding me.

"I guess, it’ll just make it hard and complicated when we go our separate ways when the contact expires…" I tried my best to explain.

"How so?" Hayden asked, sounding genuinely curious.

"Well, take today for example, I have to find a way to tell my friends that you’re not really my boyfriend. I have to find a way to tell them that you’re not really a part of my normal life…" I continued to explain.

"I don’t see why you have to go through so much trouble to do that," Hayden said casually.

"Huh?" I said, feeling completely lost.

"I mean, if you would just accept me as your boyfriend and a part of your life, then you don’t have to correct any misunderstandings with them, right?" Hayden said suggestively.

Am I hearing this right? This is so crazy. It’s like we’re not even talking in the same language anymore.

"That’s…crazy. Why would I want that?" I said as I turned to face him.

The car was stuck at a red light, and I found out that Hayden was watching me. The earnest look that he had on his face gave me pause. He can’t be serious…can he?

However, the look on his face darkened soon after he heard my words. It felt like I could hear the roaring of thunder and lighting in the distance as if a really bad storm was approaching and that was all because I could sense Hayden’s apparent anger. Honestly, I couldn’t fully understand why he was suddenly angry.

"Hayden…" I said his name softly.

**Ring ring**

Suddenly, my phone started ringing. The ringtone of my phone cut through the tense atmosphere between us. Hesitantly, I glanced down at the phone in my hand and saw that one of my friends was calling. Just as I was about to answer the call, the phone was suddenly snatched out of my hand.

I blinked in surprise as I looked unbelievably at my now-empty hand. Quicky, I turned to Hayden and saw that he held my ringing phone in his hand. Why did he take it?

"Please…give me back my phone," I said before reaching out my hand towards my phone.

"No…" Hayden replied as he pulled his hand away from mine, keeping the phone away from me.

 

Chapter 80: Melting Resistance

What is he doing? Why is he doing this?

"Please give it back. She might have something urgent that she needs to talk to me about…" I said, trying to reason with him.

Hayden looked at me and smirked as his beautiful blue eyes narrowed cunningly at me. I knew immediately that nothing good was about to follow.

"Do as I say or else, I’ll tell your dear friend all about us," Hayden said, stressing his every words.

I didn’t understand what that meant. What does he want me to do now?

I gasped in surprise, when he connected the call and turned the phone on loudspeaker so that I could hear.

"Hi Malissa! Are you home yet or still on the way?" Jenny’s voice sounding very energetic as she spoke through the phone.

I looked at Hayden in panic before looking back at my phone screen. I guess I should answer her before she thinks that something is amiss.

"Hi. I’m on the way home. I should get there soon. Is something the matter?" I said as I tried to get her to get to the point.

"Oh…actually…the professor contacted me about hosting a joint art exhibition with some other people at university. He mentioned that it would be great if your group of friends could agree on a theme and produce some art works to display at the exhibition," Jenny started to explain.

An art exhibition sounds very interesting, and it seems like I would get to work on it with friends. So far, I didn’t see a downside to it.

"I see…" I replied vaguely, trying not to say too much because Hayden was listening to our conversation.

"Let me tell you more details. I mean, I guess you’ll need more details before you can decide if you really want to join in…" Jenny said before she started outlining more details of the exhibition.

There were just so many details and it seemed like she was going to go on about it non-stop as I listened. It was challenging to keep up with her with the information overload and the speed at which she was speaking but I tried my best anyways.

Suddenly, I felt something warm on my knee. When I looked down, I discovered that it was Hayden’s hand. My eyes widened in shock before I turned to face him. Hayden seemed unfazed, if anything, he seemed to be enjoying himself as his hand started to stroke the side of my thigh.

"Hey…Malissa, are you still listening?" Jenny asked, brining my attention back to the phone call.

That’s right, Jenny is still on the line. I hope she doesn’t figure out what is going on.

"Oh…yes, of course. Please continued with the details," I said, trying to keep my voice normal.

I tried to pull Hayden’s hand away from my thigh but that only made him make a dissatisfied sound. I watched as Hayden reached out his hand and pressed the mute button on my phone’s screen to mute the call.

"What are you doing?" I asked right away once the call was muted.

"Do as I say. Pull your dress up and open your legs," Hayden ordered.

We’re in the middle of the road. Is he crazy? I was shocked at what he just said that I couldn’t move. Jenny’s cheerful voice still went on in the background as she told me about the choices of venue. Hayden stared at me as he waited for me to comply to his crazy order.

My eyes darted around as I hesitated. What should I do?

As if to threaten me further, Hayden unmuted the call. I gasped in shock as he brought the phone close to his lips. It looked like he was about to open his mouth and say something.

"No no no…" I whispered, trying to stop Hayden.

Hayden looked at me and then his gaze ran down my body to my lap. I knew what he wanted…

Hesitantly, I began pulling my dress up, uncovering my thighs before spreading my legs a little just like he had ordered. Seemingly satisfied, Hayden muted the call again and placed the phone on the car’s console. Learning over, he began running his hand and fingers along my thighs.

"Hayden…" I called his name softly.

His touch was making me feel sensitive and my skin got goosebumps from his touch. Hayden continued to rub his hand along my thighs while I tried my best not to make any sound.

"By the way, do you want to invite anyone in particular to join in the exhibition?" Jenny asked abruptly.

My eyes widen alertly. Hayden hearing her question, sighed softly before passing the phone to me. He then turned his attention back to my naked thighs. I took the phone from him and unmuted the call. I wasn’t really listening, because honestly, I couldn’t focus on anything else except for Hayden at that moment.

"Umm…I’m not sure yet. Let…let me think about it…ok?" I managed to reply.

I quickly muted the call when I felt Hayden’s teasing hands stroking the sensitive flesh of my inner thighs. His hands began parting my legs wider apart before his fingertips slowly ran up my inner thighs towards the heat in between my legs.

I couldn’t help but react to his stimulations. My core felt hot, and it was throbbing. When his fingers brushed against the crotch of my panties, I moaned loudly. As my pussy began pulsating, I knew that I was already very wet down there. My body always reacted so much to Hayden’s advances, and I got wet very fast.

Jenny was still going on about something that I could no longer comprehend. Hayden pressed his fingers against my heat, rubbing me through the thin fabric of my underwear and I cried out shamelessly. His fingers stroked my sensitive opening through my panties, and I felt like I was already about to lose control. I wanted him to touch me directly.

Instinctively, I began spreading my legs further apart for him.

"You’re so naughty, letting me do these things to you while your dear friend is talking to you on the phone…" Hayden teased.

"This…is all your…fault…" I managed to say in between my lewd moans that were getting louder and louder.

Hayden only laughed softly at me.
