Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 49

I wasn’t sure how long we walked but it couldn’t have been very long. It was so dark that I could barely see around me. Hayden wouldn’t say anything, and I couldn’t bring myself to say anything either, so we walked together in silence. Without knowing what else I could do, I decided to start praying for Hayden’s phone to be able to pick up some signal.

It was nothing short of a miracle that my prayers were answered shortly after.

“I think we’ve got signal…” Hayden mumbled as he began calling someone on his phone.

“Really?” I asked in amazement and relief.

If Hayden could ask for help, then we could get out of here.

I listened as Hayden spoke on the phone with someone and told him about our location and briefly what happened. Thankfully, he did not mention anything about my wild plan of escape. He just mentioned that some things happened, and we ended up here.

“Let’s find a place to sit down and rest while we wait for help to arrive,” Hayden said practically as he looked around for a place to sit.

I watched as Hayden found a large tree and sat down, leaning back on its large trunk. Wordlessly, I followed and sat next to him with my back leaning on the same tree. I stole a glance at Hayden’s face as I sat there next to him. His face was emotionless as ever and as always, I wasn’t able to read him at all. I wanted to know if the wound on his head still hurt but I decided to keep quiet rather than ask.

Of course, it hurts. I couldn’t believe how hypocritic I was acting. How am I supposed to just ask him about it when all of this is my fault? The silence between us stretched out as my feelings of guilt ate me up from the inside. The howling night wind was the only thing that I could hear. I wanted to apologize for what I had done but I didn’t know exactly what to say or how to say it.

My mind fumbled around with words as the awkward silence continued between us. Hayden sat next to me silently with one hand holding his phone loosely. Since he hasn’t said anything to me apart from things that were completely necessary, I figured that he was very angry at me. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, I did deserve it this time.

I hated the situation that I was in but without considering anyone but myself, I perhaps forgot that Hayden probably didn’t like the situation that he was in either. It was getting darker and darker, and the wind was getting stronger and colder. I pray that Hayden’s men would arrive soon, so that we can get out of here and Hayden can finally go to the hospital to get all his wounds tended to.

…

I don’t know how long we sat there silently next to each other before Hayden’s phone started vibrating in his hand. The sound of his phone vibrating was like a call from heaven to save us. My eyes widened with joy when I heard the sound of his phone vibrating. By the time that the call arrived, I had already loss all track of time, and I had no idea what time it was or how long we’ve waited.

“Alright. I don’t have a lot of battery so you’ve got to hurry…” Hayden spoke through the phone after he listened to the instructions from the other end.

“What’s going on? Is help coming?” I asked in a shaky voice.

“My men are already at my car. So, they’re close by. I’ve turned on the GPS of my phone now so that they can track it,” Hayden explained.

“Oh, ok…” I said, relief flooding my body.

It wouldn’t be long now until someone would find us and help get us out of here. After our brief exchange, the conversation between us became extinct once more and we lapse back into complete silence as we sat there next to each other. It was surprising how far away I could feel from Hayden even when we were sitting so close to each other that our shoulders were practically touching.
