Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 296

The warmth of his hand covered mine as he held my hand firmly in his. Although he didn’t say anything to me, I was still glad that we were still connected in some way. The way Hayden helped hold my hand and support my waist as we walked down the stairs to the ground together brought a small smile to my lips.

“Thank you…” I whispered when our feet finally touched the ground.

Hayden nodded before his hand reached out to help tuck a few loose strands of my hair back behind my ear. The wind was blowing wildly around us, and I noticed that the air was slightly warm and humid. The airport that we landed in didn’t resemble much of a standard airport at all. The large buildings were not present, and the runway was nothing more than a small trial that had been smoothened out to be suitable for landing. Apart from the two of us and the security team that Hayden travelled with, there was no one else in the airport as far as my eyes could see.

Although we flew alone, we were not the only ones on the trip and that was to be expected. Security was tight and Hayden travelled with a mini army of his men. Rows of men dress in black greeted us when we stepped off the airplane. Among them was a very familiar face who offered me a huge smile when he laid eyes on me.

“Good to see you still in one piece, Malissa,” Luka said before laughing loudly.

I found myself smiling back at him easily. In such a precarious situation like this, it was always good to see a familiar face that I knew. Apart from Hayden and Luka, I didn’t know any of the other men that travelled with us and that made me slightly uneasy. From his greeting, I had a very good guess of how Luka viewed my relationship with Hayden. I had to say that he wasn’t that far off the mark. Hayden was rough and manipulative, but he had never hurt me. I glanced over to the man in question and saw that he was as zoned out as could be.

“I hate flying. Makes my back stiff…” Luka complained as he flexed his back.

Unlike the man standing right next to me, Luka was in a roaring good mood. Hayden let out a sighed like he wanted to be anywhere else but here. Wordlessly, he tugged softly on my hand as he signaled for me to follow him.

As if able to read his cue, Luka walked in front of us while the other men flanked our sides. I had no idea where we were, but this place appeared to be an airport on one of the small island in the middle of the ocean. The air around us was humid and quite warm. I was thankful for the breeze blowing in from the sea as it blew my hair behind me. I bet that Luka could also sense that Hayden wasn’t approachable at the moment because he did not address Hayden in anyway.

I glanced over at my angel’s cold face again and I could tell that his mind was elsewhere. He was thinking of something, and I bet that no one knew what it was.

“Get in. I’m riding with you guys,” Luka said with a satisfied grin as he helped me into a large SUV.

I took my seat next to Hayden before Luka joined us in the car. The ride to our destination passed by in silence as both Luka and I didn’t dare disturb Hayden and his busy thoughts. I passed the time by staring out at the view of trees passing by through dark glass. Thankfully, the ride was a short one and we arrived at our destination soon after.
