Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 359

“The money first,” the leader countered.

“Fine. But you untie her from the chair, and I get to check that she’s unharmed first,” Hayden negotiated.

“Fine. But just you, and you can untie her yourself. None of you move…” the leader agreed but with a lot of caution.

As if he already knew what was expected, Hayden slowly lifted his hands up above his head. The leader nodded and two men approached Hayden and began patting him down probably to check for hidden weapons. What is he thinking?

I’m fine, although I couldn’t tell him that. Sure, it was a struggle being tied up and left alone in the warehouse, but my life wasn’t in danger and none of my injuries were anything serious. I thought all of that, but I had no way to communicate any of that to Hayden. He must be so worried about me. I blinked my eyes rapidly to keep my tears at bay. This isn’t the time for you to start crying like a mad woman, Malissa!

Hayden’s eyes met mine and to my utmost surprised he smiled at me as the men continued patting him down. Although I knew that he was probably smiling to reassure me that everything was fine, his smile ended up making me feel more guilty for dragging him into this mess. Why wasn’t I more cautious and careful? If I hadn’t drank that glass of water, we wouldn’t have ended up here in this extremely dangerous situation.

The men were done and with his hands still held up, Hayden took slow yet steady steps towards me. I could feel all eyes on Hayden along with my own. It was just a short distance, but it felt like forever before Hayden was anywhere near my side.

…

“Alright boys, your boss has just made a very stupid move. Be prepared for that scenario that I mentioned…” Ethan hissed through the microphone as his eyes stayed glued on the footage of what was happening inside the warehouse.

After muting the microphone, Ethan proceeded to swear long and fast under his breath. His green eyes narrowed dangerously at the monitor as he wondered what on earth Hayden was doing walking straight into the enemy’s territory alone and unarmed. With how things were, without anyone to protect him, Hayden can’t get Malissa out alone and if things headed for the worst, they could capture him in exchange for Malissa.

Now, Hayden’s and Malissa’s life was worth only 500 million dollars. A price that wasn’t too expensive to sacrifice if enough personal grudges were involved.

Either that or if Hayden is too worried about Malissa’s safety, then…

“Negotiations are likely to break down. Be on standby for some action…on my signal…” Ethan spoke calmly through the small microphone attached to the collar of his shirt.

This is going to be wild shit show, Ethan thought before he closed his eyes and breathed a depressed sigh.
