Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 154

I also had another question up my sleeve. It just popped into my head when I thought of what my grandmother had said. In her last words…

“My grandmother told me before she died that…I would be happy with you…that you would take care of me…just like when I was young. What did she mean by that?” I asked as I peered up into his clear blue eyes in wonder.

“Do you think people should decide for themselves how they should live their lives?” Hayden asked.

“What is this all of a sudden…?” I questioned in return.

“Just answer me. If it were you, what would you do? Would you want to decide for yourself how you’re going to live your life?” Hayden asked as he looked directly at me.

Was that a trick question, I wondered, because to me the answer was so obvious.

“Of course. I want to decide everything by myself, if possible,” I replied without a second thought.

“What if you get hurt by your own decision?” Hayden asked a follow-up question.

“Umm…I’ll deal with it and live with it, I guess…” I replied as I thought about it.

I wasn’t sure if Hayden was doing this on purpose but these questions that he was asking me was serving as a very good distraction from my grief. By this time, I had stopped crying completely. I stared at his angelic face as he smiled at me. It seemed like he had reached some type of answer of his own, one that I was oblivious about.

“Then choose,” he said.

“Choose what?” I asked, not quite understanding what he was saying.

“Do you want a life with nothing to do with the mafia or everything to do with the mafia? Choose, Malissa,” he said before waiting for me to make my decision.

What is this all of a sudden?

“What…?” I replied blankly.

“It’s exactly like I just asked. Either, you have nothing to do with the mafia or you have everything to do with us. There is no middle path,” Hayden explained.

“What happens if I choose not to have anything to do with the mafia?” I inquired.

“I leave. You won’t see or hear from me again. I will provide you protection until I am sure that no one from the mafia world will approach you ever again. You will live a normal and happy life and I won’t answer any of your questions because it’ll be better for you not to know anything,” Hayden replied calmly.

He’s going to leave? If I choose a normal life, Hayden won’t be a part of it…
