Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 285

“Well, all in all, that’s probably what Ethan wants…” Hayden said in summary after his bouts of laughter had died down.

“I guess we’ll find out for sure when we meet him,” I replied as I tried my best to stay calm.

In response to my words, Hayden just nodded. It didn’t seem like he had anything more to say nor did he want to discuss this any further. I appreciated the time and effort he put in to tell me the things that he did today and decided not to push him any further. However, Hayden didn’t end up telling me what I wanted to know the most. What I wanted to know the most wasn’t what Ethan wanted. I wanted to know what Hayden wanted out of all of this.

What did he want for himself? Does the future that he’s thinking of include me at all?

“By the way, when are we meeting Ethan?” I asked after realizing that I didn’t know about the appointment date.

“The day after tomorrow. You don’t need to dress pretty,” Hayden replied with an added joke.

It wasn’t like I was intending to dress to impress or anything like that. Still, I found myself smiling a little at Hayden’s attempt at a joke. It was a pleasant surprise that this whole talk didn’t put him in a rotten mood like it used to always did.

“I’ll turn up looking ugly, don’t worry,” I replied with a small laugh.

After that, whenever I recalled Hayden’s laughter, I always wondered who would get the last laugh out of all of this. My answers to the questions that Harvey had asked me still eluded me. If I had to make a choice, who would I want to take over Torex? Hayden or his elder brother?

…

The following day marked the end of what I would like to call ‘my dark days’ in the isolation facility. Surprisingly, the two brothers were there to help with my move out of the underground room back to my rooms. I was more relieved than excited to regain some part of my territory back. On the other hand, Harvey seemed overly excited for my move.

“I’m excited and so happy for you but it’s kind of sad that I’ll be seeing you less…” Harvey said as he took my arm and pulled me to his side.

Hayden instantly shot a look of pure annoyance at his brother that was hard for anyone to miss. With a soft sigh, Harvey let go of my arm as if he had just touched something forbidden. Now that I thought about it, Harvey had been spending quite a lot of time visiting me here and before that he befriended Little Hayden. It was hard for me to believe at first, but perhaps, Harvey was just lonely after spending years in the world of the dead all alone.

“I guess you can’t come to see me anymore after I move back to my rooms…” I said softly.

“That’s right,” Harvey replied followed by a slightly sad smile.

“Don’t let him get to you…” Hayden warned as he turned back around to face Harvey and me.

“You don’t have to be so mean to your brother…” Harvey retorted mockingly.

“Umm…I guess I can visit you in your wing…if I’m allowed,” I suggested a little softly.

It was hard for me to admit at first, but I did enjoy Harvey’s company. On top of that, I felt very sorry for him and how he had to spend his life isolated from everyone else just to keep his existence a secret.
