Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18

A New Day

I woke up because someone knocked on the door. I guess I was so tired, and I didn’t remember when I

fell asleep last night. Memories of yesterday and last night came flooding back to me in waves and I felt

a migraine coming on. Too much happened on the ship at the gala and then even more happened after

we returned.

The conversation I had with Hayden came back to me in full force. That’s right…we agreed that I would Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

not take Ethan’s offer and in return he would tell me about Amelia. No, not just that. He would take me

to see Amelia. I sat up straight in bed and gasped as that sudden realization hit me.

I’m going to see Amelia…

“Umm…I brought fruits and some food as you’ve requested, Master Hayden…” Auntie said.

I turned my head towards the bedroom door and could see Hayden’s back and a bit of Auntie as she

peaked into the room.

“Thank you. Oh, if my old man calls, you can tell him that I’m a little busy with Miss Malissa here…ok?”

Hayden replied as he smiled charmingly at her.

Hayden…he’s still here. I had thought that he would be gone when I woke up. Apparently, I was wrong.

After thanking Auntie, Hayden closed the door and turned around with a large tray of food and fruits.

When he saw that I was awake and sitting up in bed, he flashed me a charming smile. Although I was

confused at this unusual action, my heart still skipped a beat.

It was like the new day brought about a new Hayden. My head hurts. It seemed like everything and

everyone around me had changed. I smiled a little back at him. Hayden came over to the bed along

with the tray and sat down next to me. We were so close that our bodies were touching, his arm to my

arm and his thigh to my thigh.

“Here you go. Open up wide…” Hayden said as he offered to feed me a strawberry.

“Why are you feeding me?” I asked, suspiciously. It wasn’t like Hayden to do something so nice and

caring.

“Eat. You didn’t have any dinner last night, right?” he said.

I nodded my head slightly. Now that I thought about it, he was right. We met with Ethan for dinner but

didn’t end up touching any food. Then we got on a helicopter and flew back. We didn’t eat when we got

back either.

“Open wide…” Hayden repeated as he brought the strawberry even closer to my lips.

“Stop…it’s embarrassing…” I managed to say.

“After all we’ve done, this is embarrassing?” Hayden teased.

I glared at him. Morning after pills…where are you?

With a small sigh, I opened my mouth and he fed me the strawberry. Wow…it tastes so good. Sweet

with a little sour taste.

“Good?” Hayden asked.

“Yeah…” I mumbled.

I wondered why he was being so nice all of a sudden. Ulterior motives, I heard a small voice in my

head whispering. This monster obviously has ulterior motives. I glanced over at his angelic and overly

handsome face and narrowed my eyes at him.

“More? You should eat a lot…” Hayden said as he started feeding me more fruits.

While being fed by Hayden, my mind started figuring out just how much longer we have left together.

I’ve lost count of the days again. Just how many more days do we have before the contract comes to

an end?

I see. We only have nine days left.

Only?

“Why are you laughing?” Hayden asked.

That was when I realized that I had laughed out loud. What I found funny wasn’t what Hayden was

doing but my own thoughts. Before I would never have used to the words ‘only’ to refer to the days that

we had left. I had always looked at the remaining days with dread. No matter how much the number

went down, it didn’t seem fast enough. There were always too many days left.

“Nothing…” I replied softly.

Hayden seemed to be in a cheerful mood, and I didn’t know why. I wondered if he still remembered our

deal. It wasn’t like I wanted to rush things but there’s no benefit in putting it off any longer is there?

“Hayden…about meeting Amelia…” I said.

“Oh, that. She’s free tomorrow. So, let’s go see her tomorrow,” Hayden said casually.

That was easy…

“I see…” I mumbled.

Tomorrow, I’ll be seeing this Amelia person, finally.

“Let’s go shopping today,” Hayden said with so much motivation that I felt even more confused.

“Is there something that you need to buy?” I asked.

“No…but you do,” he replied.

“I do?” I asked, feeling more confused than before. As far as I was aware, I didn’t need to buy anything.

“Amelia is like a princess. Some say she’s even prettier than superstars. You’re not going to appear in

front of her in your lousy clothes, are you?” Hayden asked with a laugh.

“Aha…I see…” I replied as I glared at him.

I’m not as pretty as her and I don’t have nice clothes like she does…is that it?

“Shopping is great. It’s a good way for me to relax,” Hayden said wistfully.

I recalled the last time we went shopping. It was only a few days ago when we went to pick out a dress

for me for the gala. He did seem quite relaxed as he lazed about on the sofa. On the other hand, I had

to go through all the hassle of trying on countless dresses.

“For you it must be. It’s not relaxing at all for me. Can I just wear something that we picked for the

gala?” I asked hopefully.

“Nope. Let’s go out shopping,” Hayden said.

I watched as he got up from the bed and stretched. Dressed only in light blue jeans, I watched as the

muscle of his back moved as he stretched so gracefully. I cocked my head to the side as I tried to

figure out what to do when I come face to face with Amelia.
