Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 284

“What if I told you that I still want to go even though you don’t want me to?” I asked as I tried to keep my voice from shaking.

“I’ll take you along,” Hayden replied emotionlessly.

“Really?” I asked without bothering to hide my disbelief.

“Yes. That’s what Harvey thinks that I should do as well…” Hayden said before letting out a long sigh.

That made me realize that the talk that Hayden had with Harvey must have been about this. That didn’t give me any insights as to why Harvey thought that I should go along with Hayden, though. I wondered what the two brothers were thinking and then my mind drifted back to wonder about what Ethan was thinking.

“I guess…I’m not so sure why Ethan would want me to be there…” I admitted in a small voice.

“He probably thinks that having you there will help convince me to do what he wants,” Hayden replied, clearly displeased.

“Will it?” I asked, curiously.

Hayden looked straight and me before his eyes narrowed dangerously. I shouldn’t have asked that.

“It won’t,” he replied before turning away.

I guess I’ve said more than I should have, and I was overestimating myself if I thought that I could change Hayden’s minds or any of his beliefs. In the end, I was the one who probably stepped over the line.

“I’m sorry…” I apologized softly.

I could feel the muscles of his chest and arm stiffen before he let out a soft sigh and turned his head back my way. His blues eyes met mine and the gentleness in them had returned to my utmost relief.

“You don’t truly understand the role that you play in this, do you?” Hayden asked as his blue eyes held mine.

Of course, I didn’t. It’s like I’ve been trying to solve this whole riddle all by myself and the ones who held the clues did very little to help me.

“Care to educate me a little on the issue?” I asked, once again trying my luck.

“I don’t really understand what Ethan is thinking and I don’t want to. He’s crazy and it doesn’t make sense to try to understand a crazy person,” Hayden said as he stared up at the room’s ceiling.

I followed his gaze as my eyes glanced up at the mirror ceiling above. The image of us laying together in bed greeted me and I was pleasantly surprised to see how close we were. Hayden’s arm around me pulled me even closer to him.
