Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 382

‘In my time with the mafia, I had been fortunate enough to help raise two boys who will be influential in the mafia scene when they get older. Their names are Ethan and Hayden. If you meet them, which I am sure that you will, please apologize to them for me for not taking care of them until the very end. Those two should have grown up into very respectable men right now. If they know who you are, they will undoubtedly help and support you.

Hayden’s father and I are very close friends. When he helped to rescue you from danger, we made a funny promise that you would marry Hayden in the future. We doubt that that would really happen, but we would be beyond happy if that is how things have turned out.

Lastly, we love you and we just want you to know that we are proud of you and whatever choices you made for yourself.’

“With endless love…” I finished reading the letter.

“Don’t cry, Malissa,” Hayden told me.

“I’m sorry,” I quickly apologized as I wiped my tears away with my hands.

“It’s ok now…” Hayden whispered.

I felt his strong arms around me as he pulled me into his embrace. His warmth and familiar scent enveloped me. I started crying again as he held me against his hard and broad chest. His hand stroked the back of my head tenderly as he continued to hold me in his arms to comfort me. Despite his words, Hayden’s actions were so gentle and loving.

“There’s no need for you to cry, Malissa. Your parents wrote you such a loving letter. I’m sure that they are proud of you just like they have written in the letter,” Hayden comforted me before he kissed the top of my head.

“I don’t know…” I muttered in between my sobs.

I wasn’t sure if I lived up to my parent’s expectations or not. There wasn’t a hint of regret in my body about the choices that I’ve made but I was so upset. I had no idea that my parents had to pay such a hefty price just so I could live a normal life and just so that I would have the privilege to make my own decisions about what I wanted in life.

“At least I ended up marrying you…” I mumbled softly to myself.

“What did you say?” Hayden asked softly next to my ear.

“I said…that at least I ended up marrying you just like what my parents had hoped…” I whispered before I felt tears pooling in my eyes again.

Hayden stroked my hair before he started kissing it. His touch felt gentle and warm. I snuggled closer against his body as if seeking for more of his comfort. His hand stroked my back as he continued to hold me close.

“Did you know about this letter?” I asked what came to mind.

“Not really…but I had a hunch…” Hayden replied softly.

“Really?” I couldn’t stop myself from asking.

“Ethan mentioned that he gave you a letter. The way he said it told me that it must have been from your parents…and not from him…” Hayden admitted solemnly.
