Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18

Back to Life

His strong arms pulled me closer to him until our bodies were pressed together. His breath stirred the

small hair around my ear. He’s so close…

“My love for you isn’t enough to save you from all pain and protect you from all danger. The best that I

can do is to keep you locked up in the mansion although I know well that you don’t like it one bit,”

Hayden whispered solemnly into my ear.

“Hayden…” I whispered his name as other words were robbed from me.

Why does he sound so sad?

“But I do love you and I’ll try my best to protect you no matter what. Even if it means that it will cost me

my life, I will protect you,” Hayden said it like a promise.

I felt tears swimming in my eyes. Why would he say something like that?

“Please don’t do that…I don’t want you to get hurt…” I whispered back.

…or die…

“Don’t cry, stupid girl. Everyone is watching us…” Hayden said in a lighter tone when he finally let me

go.

He looked down at me and smiled his princely smile that made my heart skip a beat. I would be happy

to follow him anywhere and do anything if it meant that I could continue being by his side. Slowly, I

reached up my hand and cupped his face. The warmth of his hand quickly enveloped mine as he

placed his hand on mine. His face felt so warm, unlike the cold mask that he almost always wore.

“I love you...so much…” I managed to say while trying desperately to hold in my tears.

Hayden smiled down at me and his smile felt a little different from usual. It felt warmer and a little more

carefree. Of all the smiles that he’s shown me so far, this one truly tugged at my heart, and I fell in love

with this one the most. Hopefully, he’ll show me more of his smile now that things are more peaceful.

“Hayden!”

A shrilled cry pieced through the romantic atmosphere that we shared. I bit on my lower lip when I

sensed that this wedding wouldn’t end without incident after all. We both turned towards the source of

the voice to see a middle-aged woman dressed in bright pink standing up in the crowd of people. All

the while, the woman continued screaming Hayden’s name as if she was dying to get his attention. She

got more than his attention for sure, everyone in the church probably had their eyes on her at that

moment.

Hayden’s hand tightened over mine and I felt the air around him turn cold. The smile that he had on his

lips died and his face morphed into a cold and unreadable mask.

Who is that lady and what does she want now of all times?!

The next words that left her lips, changed our lives forever…

“Hayden! Amelia…Amelia has woken up! Please…please come see her!” the woman shouted directly

at Hayden when she saw that she now had his attention. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Is this true? Amelia has regained consciousness.

Really?!

I glanced over at Hayden, and I could see the conflicting emotions on his face. What is he going to do

now?

“Shut up woman!” the boss yelled loudly over the crowd.

“I will not be silent. My daughter is engaged to the heir of Torex. Now she is back! This wedding cannot

move forward!” the woman yelled loudly.

This woman, she’s Amelia’s mother?

“Such nonsense…” Hayden muttered under his breath, but I didn’t miss a single word.

“Hayden…” I whispered his name as I wondered what he’s going to do now.

Hayden clicked his tongue in annoyance before he took out his phone and made a call. My eyes

widened when it struck me who he was probably calling.

“Yo…your lady came back to life,” Hayden said immediately when the line connected.

My eyes widened and I covered my mouth with both my hands as tear of happiness leaked into my

eyes. I couldn’t stop myself from smiling when I realized what this meant. If what the lady just now had

said is true, then Harvey and Amelia would be reunited at last. Harvey is going to be so happy!

Suddenly, nothing about this wedding celebration of ours mattered anymore. We were already married

anyways, and nothing can change that. However, we could still change the future of another lovely

couple if we got this right this time around.

“I’m sorry, Malissa, but can we head over to the angel’s palace right now?” Hayden asked me with a

small smile.

Although he was probably trying to hide it, I could tell that Hayden was extremely glad right now. The

happiness and hope that sprung up in my chest probably couldn’t compare to the feelings that Hayden

felt in that moment. Hopefully, he will get to witness the reunion of two of the most important people in

his life.

“Yes. Let’s hurry!” I urged him to move with my words and my hand that yanked on his.

What are we waiting for?

Hayden smiled at me in thanks before he led me through the back exit and out of the church. The boss

and everyone might be confused but we already did our part for the wedding. We said our vows, the

ceremony is now complete. I was sure that the boss had to be satisfied partly if not wholly. Now he can

deal with his guests and enjoy the party that he had planned.

As for us, we needed to head to Amelia’s place as fast as possible. At least, Hayden had informed

Harvey already. The wedding dress truly was in the way and Hayden had to help me literally carry my

skirt. Somehow, we made it to his car and Hayden helped me in before getting into the driver’s seat.

Now that we were alone in his car and on our way to see Amelia, I noticed that my heart was beating

so fast and hard.
