Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 178

“We also have other teachers to fill in your classes for the following days if you’re still feeling sick. So, just rest and don’t worry. Get well soon, Malissa!” the lady said cheerfully.

Although I appreciated that the school was more than willing to support me and help me out during my time of sickness, the truth was that this was all just a big misunderstanding. I wasn’t sick and right now I should be there teaching my classes!

“Thanks…” I managed to say in a whisper before the line disconnected.

Hayden…why are you doing this?

My eyes lifted from the phone screen towards the still-closed door and an ominous feeling began rapidly growing in the pit of my stomach. This is all just a bad coincidence, right?

Surprisingly, after a few desperate poundings on the door, I heard clicking sounds as if the door was being unlocked from the outside. My eyes narrowed suspiciously, and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. The door was locked from the outside all this time? Why would the door even have a lock on the outside?

The answer was sinister and clear, but I just couldn’t quite believe it. Someone locked me up in here on purpose. Why?

I felt like I was about to get the answers to my questions when the door started to slowly swing open. Honestly, I was expecting to see Hayden and I was ready to give him a piece of my mind. However, the person who greeted me with a guilty smile was none other than Auntie who had led me here last night.

“Why was the door locked?” I demanded for an answer right away.

Auntie sighed loudly and seemed uncomfortable as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other in the doorway. Her eyes wouldn’t meet mine and I could tell that she was feeling guilty.

“Auntie…what is going on here?” I asked as I narrowed my eyes at her.

“Umm…Hayden wants you to stay in your room. He says it’s for your own good,” Auntie replied hesitantly.

Hayden wants…what?

“Does that mean that I can’t leave this room?” I asked in pure shock.

“Umm…yes. It would be better if you stay inside…” Auntie replied in a shaky voice.

I glanced down and realized that she was holding a tray of food, fruits, and water in her hands. That was when it occurred to me that she wasn’t here to let me out at all. She was merely here to deliver me my food. Suddenly, the beautiful and luxurious room that I was in felt like an overly decorated prison and I was the bird stuck in a golden cage. I’m getting my food delivered to me like I was some prisoner.

Why is this happening to me?

“Where is Hayden?” I asked.

Auntie didn’t reply but headed into the room before heading to the dining room. The door was open, and I wondered if I could make a run for it. If I can just get out of here and talk to Hayden, maybe I can get him to change his mind about all this. Does he even realize how wrong it is to hold me here against my will?
