Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 304

“You still don’t get it, do you? You can continue asking her whatever that you want but she won’t reply to you. It’s useless, Ethan. Malissa isn’t going to say anything unless she has my permission, so I suggest that you quickly explain your business proposal,” Hayden said monotonously.

“I see. Well, I don’t mind doing this the strictly business way. You do remind me of your older brother now…” Ethan said after having laughed for a little while.

Hayden did not say anything as he waited to hear more details about the proposal which Ethan had in mind. My attention was also focused on Ethan. This was the moment that I had been waiting for, I’m finally going to learn something about what was going on. If this proposal works out, there could be peace between the gang and perhaps that would mean that Hayden’s life would be a little easier.

“For the partnership, I want Torex to consider allowing Silva to conduct some businesses inside selected territories that are currently under Torex’s control. This would put a stop to the ongoing disputes between us right now. If you are open to it, I will send over some documents and proposals on other businesses that I would like Silva and Torex to work on together, for example, the black-market auction business. Being a duopoly is good but since there are no laws limiting us, we might as well partner up and run it as a monopoly…” Ethan began explaining.

“And in exchange? What will Torex gain from this?” Hayden asked pointedly.

Ethan paused before he smiled as if he had already anticipated this question.

“Peace. As simple as that. Our gangs have been at each other’s throats for a long time now and even I’m getting sick and tired of it. With this partnership we can put the conflicts between the gang aside and focus more on business,” Ethan said calmly.

What Ethan said seemed to make sense to my untrained ears. Peace was supposed to be a good thing and the business proposal didn’t sound bad. However, I wasn’t sure if Hayden felt the same way.

“Peace? Interesting…” Hayden said, but contrary to his words, it was clear that he wasn’t anywhere near convinced.

“Jack wanted peace and so did dear Amelia…” Ethan said softly.

“And look where they ended up…” Hayden said before he chuckled as if the idea amused him beyond measure.

Jack was dead. Amelia is as close to dead as can be. I recalled the sight of Amelia in a comatose state in her bed with multiple machines beeping around her as they kept her ‘alive’.

“I don’t mind if you need time to think about it. I understand that this isn’t a decision that you can make on a whim. You can also consult your father about it…” Ethan suggested with a smile.
