After coming back to the mansion from the hospital, I had left the letter there with the thought to read it later alone when I had time to relax. It wasn’t like I had forgotten about it, more like I haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. “In my closet. Should I go get it now?” I offered.“No. Eat first. We can read it right after dinner,” Hayden said as he began eating. I chewed at the food while my mind wondered why Hayden wanted to read the letter that Ethan gave to me so much? Was he just jealous and wanted to pry into what Ethan had written? Was that it? Finally, dinner was over, and we headed to Hayden’s living room where he waited for me to go fetch the letter that Ethan had given me. When I opened the envelope there was another envelope inside that looked much older than the one on the outside. Something about the old and slightly worn envelope told me that the letter inside wasn’t written recently and that it wasn’t written by Ethan. There was no point in wondering or gu
‘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’
Staring at the dark circles under my eyes in the mirror, I was finally convinced that I had to do something about this recurring nightmare before I really lose it. The answer was simple enough to identify but as always it was much harder to execute. I should tell Hayden about the dream and simply ask him about it. There are two reasons why I haven’t done that just yet. First, I had been trying to understand what the dream could mean and how it may have a link to reality. So far, I’ve come up with a very plausible theory even if I do say so myself. Second, it was just plain hard to bring this topic up to Hayden. Something told me that he wouldn’t like to discuss it with me. I’ve realized it way before now that Hayden wasn’t a fan of digging up old relics from the past. It was a few days later when I found the perfect opportunity to talk about it with Hayden. Thankfully, we didn’t have to do anything in preparation for our wedding ceremony or celebration. The boss was happy enough if
‘…I was too young to get involved in the incident, but I remember that it was a big mess. In the end, the adults got you back,’I recalled the words that he said when he told me about the kidnapping incident that happened when I was a very young child. How come I didn’t remember anything about it until recently? It was hard to believe but it seemed like the recent kidnapping worked to somehow trigger my memory about that unpleasant incident from the past. “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Hayden replied once again with an unreadable expression on his face.Great. He’s completely denying it and I have no proof that I’m right. Maybe I’m the only one going crazy here after all. Regardless, I’ve come this far so…“You called me Lisa…When you came to save me, you called me Lisa…” I told him with such desperation in my voice that I was shocked at myself. “Did I?” he asked as if he had no clue what I was talking about. “…You did,” I replied with a firm nod of my head.I was sca
The day of our third attempt at our wedding ceremony was a bright and sunny day. I woke up feeling as lazy as ever and the way that Hayden yawned told me that he probably felt the same. He ran his fingers through his blond hair and made a face like he couldn’t be bothered. It was a Saturday, and I was sure that he wanted to sleep in more than going to the church for our wedding ceremony. It was strange to exchange vows with a man who was already my husband. However, we both knew better than to make a scene about it. The faster we went through with this, the sooner it would be over, and we could move on with our lives. Just as I had agreed with Hayden, we wanted to keep the ceremony very simple by doing only the basic and required things. “At least I get to wear the wedding dress that you got tailored for me and we can take nice photos together,” I said with a smile. “Yeah…” Hayden replied sleepily. I watched as he stretched before he slowly got out of bed. Slowly, I got out of bed
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.
It was still very difficult for me to believe that this was really happening. However, if that lady is really Amelia’s mother, then she wouldn’t be joking about something as serious as this, would she? Hayden was already driving fast along the road when the Bluetooth of his car system began calling Harvey again. The line connected almost immediately. “Where are you now?” Hayden asked with his eyes still focus on the road. I had a feeling that this was going to be a ride filled with speed and thrills when Hayden took a sharp U-turn. “On the way. If you speed, we’ll get there at roughly the same time,” Harvey replied.“See you soon. Try your best not to cry before you see her,” Hayden teased before the line disconnected. The car was already going fast but Hayden truly stepped harder on the accelerator. The ride to Amelia’s mansion passed by almost in silence with both Hayden and I wrapped up in our own thoughts. I didn’t want to talk to Hayden at the speed that he was driving becau
“Hayden’s wife…?” Amelia said with clear shock on her face.Yeah. I guess many things happened while she was asleep. It must have been a shock to her to wake up to find that Hayden had married me, and I was still standing in my wedding dress as if to prove that that was in fact true. “Come…” Hayden whispered to as he led me by the hand towards Amelia. Suddenly, I felt extremely shy. Her eyes widened as she stared up into my face. “This is Malissa. We got married recently,” Hayden introduced me again. “You look like a little princess…congratulations…both of you…” Amelia said after a while of staring at me in silence. “I’m sorry about this but we need to transport her to the hospital now. The ambulance is here and ready for her,” the doctor said with an apologetic smile. Oh, right. She just regained consciousness so she should go to the hospital. I turned to Harvey and saw him smiling at me. “I’ll go with her. We’ll be ok…Thank you…” Harvey told us reassuringly. “You owe me a hu
I was sure that Hayden knew something, but he wasn’t willing to tell me about it. What is he keeping a secret from me? “Tell me, Hayden…” I pleaded as I reached out my hand and shook his shoulder Hayden smiled as he shook his head at me. His lips remained firmly close even if his blue eyes did return to my face. “You can figure it out yourself,” Hayden finally said.“That’s not an answer at all!” I launched my complaint right away.“Not all questions have answers. You know that much, right?” Hayden replied with a careless shrug of his shoulders. “Hayden…” I called out his name in disappointment as my brows drew together in a frown. “Just go to sleep, my curious princess…” Hayden said.His large hand landed on the top of my head before he started patting it. My attention immediately got absorbed into his blue eyes as he stared deeply into my eyes. I felt like there were many complex emotions swimming around in the depth of Hayden’s eyes. His eyes were truly beautiful, and I probab
"Wow…your pussy is drenched, Malissa…” Hayden said in a sexy drawl. I spread my legs wider apart when I felt his cock at my entrance. Hayden wasted no time in thrusting his thick shaft into my wet tunnel. My hips bucked and my hips thrusted upwards to welcome his cock inside of me. Hayden began moving his hips immediately, thrusting his cock in and out of my pussy hole. I was so wet and the lewd wet squelching sounds of his cock beating into my wetness was the proof of that. The lewd sounds of cock messing up my wet insides turned me on so much along with our passionate moans and cries of pleasure. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he continued to give it to me fast and hard. The pleasure was so intense that I dug my fingernails into his back before I started clawing at it for temporary relief. “It feels so hot inside you. Your pussy is sucking in my cock…” Hayden groaned on top of me.“Ahh! So deep!” I cried out as his thrusting intensified. His cock felt hot inside of me too
“Ahh! So deep…Hayden…Ahhh!” I screamed when he thrusted his cock all the way into my cunt in a single thrust. It hurts…but it feels so good…His sudden and forceful entrance stretched my opening before his massive length and thickness filled my entire love tunnel up. It hurts a little at first but as my pussy began clenching and adjusting to his shape and size, the pain slowly subsided and what was left in its place was a pleasure so fulfilling that it made me moan his name. My pussy clenched wildly around his hot rod before Hayden pulled his cock out of my hole completely.I felt him position himself at my entrance again before he rammed his love stick deeper and harder into my went cunt. He growled softly from behind me as his hips began moving. His cock pounded repeatedly into my wet pussy hole. Over and over again, he rammed his cock into me. Each thrust felt deeper and more forceful than the one before. My hips began moving, thrusting backwards and lifting to meet his animalisti
His finger captured my hardened nipples between them before he started twirling them around. Jolts of pleasure invaded my body from where he was teasing my nipples playfully. I moaned before biting on my lower lip as Hayden buried his face into the side of my neck. His lips placed small teasing kisses along the side of my neck before he began sucking on my skin quite loudly. All the while, his hand proceeded to massage and pump my breasts roughly. I cried out at the endless waves of pleasure that coursed through my body. I felt the heat of his hard and naked body against my back as I leaned back against him while thrusting my chest forward. Hayden played with my breasts a little more before his hand slid down the curves of my body to my waist and then the sides of my hips. He thrusted his hips forward a little and I felt his hardness grinding against my buttocks. His cock was already so hard, and I could tell that he was already very turned on too. The hardness of his cock hitting ag
I giggled softly to myself at how obedient the children were in Hayden’s presence. Hayden was quite strict with the children although I knew that he loved them very much. It was probably because he cared for them very much that he was extremely strict on them and their upbringing. In a way, the children were a little scared of Hayden. I didn’t blame them at all because I knew well that Hayden could be very scary at times.“When you’re done, Lilly will take you upstairs to your rooms. Make sure to brush your teeth and wash your face properly,” Hayden instructed curtly.“Yes, Daddy…” the two mumbled in unison.That was the standard response that our kids would give when Hayden used that tone of voice with them. It was a great thing to have such obedient children, but I also hoped that they wouldn’t feel too tense around Hayden. Usually, Hayden wasn’t stern with the children. However, when he gave them instructions, they needed to follow it to the letter.“Please come with me…” Lilly, on
Although we had not been actively telling our children about their relationship with the mafia, it wasn’t like we thought that we could hide it. As a result, we never bothered to hide it. We let them learn through their relationship with the boss, Harris, Luka and even other members of the senior management of the gang.Although our family was no where close to being a standard and normal one, we were extremely happy to be together. Harvey, Amelia, the boss, and everyone else were always supportive of our family and what we wanted to do. Hayden and Harvey remained close even though Hayden no longer helped out with the gang’s business anymore.…If I had to choose, I would say that the family that I managed to build with Hayden is my greatest life achievement thus far. However, that didn’t mean that I didn’t have other achievements to be proud of in my life especially when it came to my career as an artist.“We would like to award our amazing artist friend, Malissa, for her outstanding
“Hi…” the boys said with clear disinterest. Harris and Andrew looked up at me with cold eyes while I plastered a smile on my face. These two kids were clearly told about the specifics of their family business from such a young age without leaving out any details about what was expected of them when they grew older. Harvey was heartless when it came to training up his boys into the ideal next bosses of the gang. Although the boys were still young, they already had a cold and calculating attitude.“Are you heading back now?” Amelia asked. Unlike me who was busy with my career as an artist and running my art gallery business, Amelia was a full-time mum. I didn’t envy her at all, she had her hands full just dealing with her two boys and not to mention dealing with Harvey as well. Amelia was always surrounded by a large team of bodyguards, and I bet she spent more time with them than with Harvey. Despite her burdensome life of being the new boss’s wife, she seemed quite used to everythin
**6 years later**“Wow…you came back pretty early today…” I said while cocking my head slightly to the side in wonder.With his busy schedule for the week, I hadn’t expected him to turn up at my gallery early in the afternoon. “Things wrapped up pretty well at the hospital today so I thought that we could go pick up the kids together for a change,” Hayden replied with a smile. “Perfect timing. Now that you mention it, we should head out now or we’re going to be late…” I said as I started grabbing my things.I turned to flash him a bright smile. Honestly, I was thrilled that he could spare some time to pick up the kids together today. Hayden was still busy with his work at the hospitals as ever and the fact that the numbers of hospitals in his network has grown over the years did not help make him any less busy. That being said, my career as an artist and gallery owner had also flourished handsomely which meant that he wasn’t the only one who had gotten busier. Layering taking care o
“You’re not going to eat? Are you and the baby not hungry?” Hayden asked from across the table. I doubt anyone could get hungry when faced with this kind of food. However, I couldn’t bring myself to tell Hayden that after all the effort that he put in to ensure the best food for me and the baby. “I’m not that hungry but I’ll eat…” I replied before forcing a smile. “Do you want me to feed you?” Hayden asked. “Umm…no. There’s no need for you to do that,” I refused while trying to maintain my smile. “The food looks and tastes bad, doesn’t it?” Hayden asked but it didn’t really feel like a question. I guess he did realize it after all. There’s no point in lying about it now so I just nodded at my head in response. “You should have told me. I can fire the chef or get the nutritionist to change something to make it more palatable,” Hayden said as he stared at me from across the table. “I just didn’t want to burden you with something like this. Plus, I guess it isn’t that bad when I
