Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 223

I should head back. It’s too late in the night now and Hayden is probably sleeping. If I knock on his door now, I’d just disturb him and wake him up from his slumber. So many reasons ran through my mind as I stood there in front of his door in silence without moving. My body wouldn’t move as my fear started taking over. Suddenly, all I wanted to do was walk away from the door and head back to the safety and sanctuary of my own bedroom.

Deep down, I knew that all those reasons that my mind was conjuring up were nothing more than convenient excuses for me to head back so that I wouldn’t have to face Hayden right now. The truth was that I was scared.

While I stood there rooted to the spot, to my utmost disbelief, the large door behind me creaked opened and light shone into the dark hallway. It seemed like my choice was just made for me. My body froze in place in shock as more light shone into the dark hallway. Slowly, I managed to move my body and turned my neck around towards the opened door.

A dark shadowy silhouette stood in the doorway.

“There’s only one reason a woman would visit a man’s room this late at night…” a cold chilly voice spoke.

Suddenly, it felt like I was trapped into a horror movie and had come face to face with a beast in a haunted mansion. I wanted to run for my life, but my feet felt like they were glued firmly to the floor. For the life of me, I couldn’t move, and the shadowy figure took a step and then another step closer to me.

I’m going to be devoured. He’s going to eat me alive!

I closed my eyes tightly as small, frightened cries escaped my lips. My hands shook madly before I used them to cover my ears. The monster came to stand right in front of me and its hand reached out to grab my wrist. Suddenly, I was yanked forcefully through the doorway into the light of the room beyond. Needlessly to say, I screamed so loudly that on later reflection, I was convinced that I must have woken up some staff in that large mansion.

“Why are you screaming?” Hayden asked as he stared down at me with a look of pure annoyance on his face.

“Because you scared me! Isn’t that obvious…” I wailed.

“You’re not making any sense. You came to my room, so I opened the door for you,” Hayden said as he shook his head from side to side.

His eyes looked at me with an incredulous look on his face as if he couldn’t quite grasp the ridiculousness of this situation.

“That was so scary. You appeared in the doorway like some shadowy figure. I honestly thought you were a monster and then you spoke in such a low voice…” I continued wailing and complaining as I plopped myself down onto his sofa.

“Hmm…” Hayden made a sound as he looked at me with dispassionate eyes.

“Then the monster turned out to be you and it was basically the same thing…” I said in shock as my eyes grew even wider.

A shadow loomed over me, suddenly blocking out the light from above my head. Instinctively, I glanced up to find Hayden’s face looking down at me from a very close distance. He’s so close…

“Hayden!” I cried out his name in shock as I scooted back further into the sofa.
