Chapter 87: Do You Love Him?
Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion
"Iâll send Luka and a large group of men with you. Luka will tell you the details soon," the boss said, sounding relief.
"Letâs go," Hayden said once again to me as he took my hand.
"Have you slept with her?" the boss asked abruptly.
Errâ¦what sort of question is that? That was when I realized that Hayden was holding my hand. Wrong move. Definitely, the wrong move.
"I have," Hayden said emotionlessly.
I gasped in shock at how straight forward he could admit thisâ¦and to his father of all people. It was like they were completely ignoring the fact that I was here, and they were talking about me too.
"I seeâ¦I like men who move fast," the boss said before he laughed joyously.
I felt heat rush to my face and new that I was blushing hard with embarrassment.
"Hayden, you leave. I want to talk to Malissa," the boss said.
Hayden glanced at me as if asking me if I would be alright. I didnât know what the boss wanted to talk to me about, but I wanted to find out. The only way I would find out is if I stayedâ¦soâ¦
"Itâs okâ¦" I whispered.
Hayden nodded and slowly let go of my hand.
"5 minutes," Hayden said to his father before walking out of the room.
"More than enoughâ¦" the boss muttered softly under his breath.
The door closed behind Hayden and the boss and I were now the only ones in the room. I gulped nervously. Now that Hayden was no longer by my side, I felt extremely anxious and uncomfortable. The bossâs presence is very intimidating.
"Donât look so nervous. Iâm not going to eat you," the boss said before laughing at his own joke.
"Okâ¦" I whispered, sounding very nervous.
"Sorry that I asked you to stay back. I just wanted to talk to youâ¦you know, see how youâve been," the boss said, and I could sense genuine care in his tone.
"Iâm doing fineâ¦" I said, summarizing my situation in short. I felt fine and I will somehow get through this.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, I didnât know, but I was getting used to being around Hayden. I wouldnât say that I understood what he was thinking completely but I have improved, and I was less shocked with his unexpected actions. Sex with him felt too goodâ¦Iâm willing to admit that too.
I wasnât sure if weâve gotten closer but the initial animosity between us had somehow evaporated as time went by.
"I see. How many days are left in the contract?" the boss asked.
Good question. I remembered that I used to count down the days remaining until the 30 days would come to an end. However, I wasnât quite sure how many days were left now, and I wasnât sure when or why I had stopped counting.
"Ummâ¦I think thereâs 18 days left," I replied softly.
"So, weâre almost at the halfway mark already. Time really does fly. So, have you fallen in love with my son?" the boss asked as he leaned forward and watched me closely.
"No, I havenât," I replied firmly.
The boss cocked his head slightly to the side as he continued to observed me. I wondered if that meant that he didnât believe my words?
"Let me ask you another question then. Do you think that Hayden is in love with you?" the boss asked.
"Noâ¦heâs in love with Ameliaâ¦" I replied, wondering why the boss was asking me this because he should already know.
The boss smirked a little at me before he started laughing softly as if an entertaining thought had crossed his mind.
"Why are you laughing?" I asked, unable to control my curiosity at his reaction.
"When youâre old like me, sometimes, you see young people as fools," the boss replied.
"What do you mean?" I asked, suspiciously.
"Young people, such as yourself, canât seem to see the obvious thing that is in front of them. I asked you if youâre in love with my son and you said?" the boss said as his eyes widened at me.
"I saidâ¦that Iâm not," I replied, simply.
"Exactly, which makes my old mind wonder why you looked so awfully sad when you told me that heâs in love with Ameliaâ¦" the boss said as if deep in thought.
I lookedâ¦awfully sad? Is that true?
It couldnât beâ¦
This old man is just playing tricks with me.
"Iâm not sadâ¦" I said.
"Thatâs all I wanted to ask you. You are dismissed for today. Do enjoy the galaâ¦Iâm sure that things will be interesting for both of you," the boss said before he sighed and got up from his seat.
"Goodbye," I said as I also got up.
The boss smiled at me and waved me off with his hand. I quickly left the room, glad to finally end the conversation with the old man.
"Hey,"
I turned in shock and saw Hayden leaning on the wall next to the door. I hadnât expected to see him there waiting for me.
"Heyâ¦" I replied back softly.
"What did dad say to you?" Hayden asked.
"Ummâ¦nothing much," I replied vaguely. Itâs not like I could repeat our conversation to Hayden.
"Did he ask you if I was good in bed?" Hayden asked, sounding genuinely curious.
Is that what heâs been worried about all this time? Ohâ¦what am I dealing withâ¦
"No, he didnâtâ¦" I said as I began walking away from him.
I bet heâs just saying these things to irritate me, and it was working.
"Wait for meâ¦" Hayden said with a small laugh as he came after me.
"What do you want?" I snapped.
"So, am I good in bed?" Hayden asked.
I couldnât believe that he was asking me that. I rolled my eyes at him in annoyance. Thereâs no way that Iâm going to answer that.
"What else did the old man say?" Hayden asked, after seeing that I wonât answer his previous question.
"Ummâ¦he said that we should enjoy the galaâ¦and that itâll be interestingâ¦" I replied as I recalled the bossâs words.
"Oh yesâ¦it definitely will be interestingâ¦" Hayden said with his eyes straight forward as if he was staring at something that I couldnât see.
I wondered if there were some hidden or special meaning behind his wordsâ¦
