Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 244

Despite everything that had unfortunately happened between us, Ethan was a decently good boyfriend while we were together. He must have done things behind my back because he was from a mafia gang and he did keep that from me; however, I didn’t blame him. I knew that he didn’t want to get me involved then and it wasn’t like he could randomly tell me that he was the next head of Silva.

Apart from that, what I told Hayden was true. Although Ethan could be hard to handle sometimes, overall, he was sweet, helpful, supportive, and he made me smile and laugh so much during the time when we were together. I wondered if Ethan knew back then that what we had wasn’t meant to last. If he did, how did he feel all those times when we smiled together?

“What are you thinking about?” Hayden asked in a low voice.

“Oh…nothing. Sorry, you were saying?” I quickly replied after his voice pulled me back from my thoughts.

“I didn’t say anything. I was just watching your expression turn all sad and lonely,” Hayden said with a small chuckle before his eyes narrowed at me.

I wonder what he saw. I wonder if he could see through me…

“Sorry…” I whispered.

“It’s nothing to apologize for. I’m the one asking you all these difficult questions. Did you recall some old memories?” Hayden asked, teasingly.

“Not really…” I mumbled in reply.

“While you were with him, did you realize anything strange about him?” Hayden asked as he kept his eyes on my face.

“Not really. He seemed very busy at times. He would go away on trips now and then, but I didn’t think that it was unusual. Ethan…he didn’t like his parents and would get depressed every time that he had to return home to see them,” I replied.

Everything seemed ordinary and normal back then given that I didn’t know anything about his involvement with Silva. However, looking back, I realized that everything had to do with his involvement with his ‘family business’.

“Hmm…I see…” Hayden said softly.

“I honestly didn’t know about his involvement with the mafia. He just told me that his family ran a business and that he had to go back to help his parents with that. Back then, I never suspected anything…” I continued.

“It’s normal, I guess. Not every girl would automatically suspect her boyfriend at university to be a mafia boss’s son,” Hayden said with a nod of his head.

“Yeah…I guess…” I mumbled, while still wondering why Hayden was having this conversation with me.

Hayden was silent for a while as if digesting what I had told him so far. Finally, he turned to look at me again before asking me his last question.

“What happened when you two broke up?” Hayden asked.

“Ethan decided to dump me…” I said before pursing my lips together into a thin line.
