Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 260

Where are we now? Why did he bring me to a place like this?

It was dark and I wondered if there are lights in this place. As if to reply to my unasked question, Hayden took a couple of steps forward and the lights automatically switched on. His movement must have triggered the light censor and the whole floor was lit by warm orange light. It wasn’t bright but it was more than enough for me to see that we had arrived at a very large hallway that resembled the other ones in the mansion, although, this one wasn’t decorated like the others.

Plain white walls lined both sides of the hallway. I felt a force tugging on my arm again as I was forcibly dragged forward. Hayden didn’t say anything, and I spent the silent walk down the long hallway looking around at nothing but white walls. We walked past many closed doors until we reached a door right at the very end of the hallway. The hallway was long, and I was sure that it was the same hallway that spanned the length of the mansion. I had walked a hallway like this many times before but on a different floor. Now, I was underground, and I felt like I was about to find out why Hayden had brought me here.

Since this is the end of the hallway, this room beyond this door must be our destination. There is nowhere else that we could go. The large door was locked and required three level of security to unlock it. I was scared but I was equally as curious as to what lay beyond this door that required it to have three level of security on top of it being hidden underground like this. Hayden inputted a password into the keypad and a few beeping sounds confirmed that it was the correct password. After that he proceeded to scan his finger and that was followed by the last level of security which was a retina scan.

I made a little bet with myself with nothing to wager on that what lay beyond this door must be treasure of immeasurable worth like diamonds, gold bars and rare artifacts. The mafia was loaded, and they had to have some treasure hidden away. This underground overly secured room felt like the perfect place for it to be. Although I would trade anything to be back in my room or art studio right now, I didn’t mind taking a peek into Hayden’s treasure trove first.

The door was automatic and didn’t require Hayden to lift a finger to open it. I blinked rapidly as the door slid open and bright light spilled into hallway. The large door which apparently was made of metal slid open like the door of a large elevator. Hayden took a step forward and I quickly followed before he needed to yank me in with him. My wrist and arm had suffered more than enough damage at that point.

Despite the high security to the room, there was surprisingly very little in the room. My eyes blinked in disbelief at how empty the room was. Clearly, this wasn’t Hayden’s treasure trove at all. Not only were there no gold bar, expensive jewelry or other treasures, the room barely had anything inside. Metallic walls probably made from steel, a king-sized bed, a full-length mirror, a table and two chairs and a ceiling covered entire in mirrored glass. Another steel door that probably led to a toilet of some sort. The room had nothing else besides loads of hand cuffs, rope and other things used to restrain something…or someone…

As if perfectly programmed, the large door slowly slid close when the two of us were inside the room. The door locked itself and I felt trapped inside the cube-shaped room with Hayden. Doors and walls made of steel; it was like I was inside a very large elevator. My heart began beating faster and harder inside my chest as I looked around. He doesn’t intend to keep me here, does he?

I stood glued to the spot as my eyes roved around the windowless room. Since we were underground, I guessed there wasn’t any use for windows. The room was cold and windy from the air conditioner blowing in the room. Everything in the room looked new and completely unused. I took in a deep breath and let out a resigned sigh. All that needed to happen now was for Hayden to explain to me his deal.

For the first time since our journey down to this place started, Hayden slowly turned around to face me directly. As expected, his face was cold and his eyes void of any emotions. His blue eyes were icy cold as they focused on mine. What should I do? I need to say something. I bit my lower lip and mustered up all my courage to voice some words.

“I’m…sorry…” I whispered.
