I stood behind Hayden as my eyes scanned around the room. Suddenly, the door at the other end of the room began sliding open. My eyes immediately focused on the door, knowing full well who was supposed to walk through it. “Ethan…” I whispered so softly that I hardly heard myself. Hayden definitely saw him too because his hand that held mine tightened. Ethan walked in alone and the door behind him began sliding close. I could feel his eyes on us, and I started feeling extremely uncomfortable under his confident gaze. Ethan was dressed in an all-black suit as if he knew that Hayden would turn up in an all-white one. He had a confident smile on his lips, and he seemed very much at ease. “The rules…” Hayden hissed softly. “Ok…” I whispered back to reassure him that I was well aware of the rules that he had set. “Let’s go,” Hayden said emotionlessly as he tugged on my hand for me to follow after him. We walked towards the extremely long table that was positioned in the center of the
“Explain,” Hayden said passively. He neither showed interest nor disinterest. Hayden’s face was as cold and as unreadable as ever. I wondered if Ethan could read Hayden and what he was thinking because I clearly couldn’t. Regardless, I was slightly surprised that Hayden was willing to listen. “It’s simple. I want Torex and Silva to work together just like what Jack wanted,” Ethan said casually. Hayden’s expression was unreadable. If Ethan thought that the mention of Jack’s name would have an impact on Hayden, his guess seemed to be quite off the mark. On the contrary, Hayden didn’t seem impressed at Ethan’s reference of Jack’s name. “Jack is dead. He’s been dead for a long time now. Unlike you, I don’t care much about the will of a dead man,” Hayden replied.His response was cold, and I felt a slight tightness in my chest at how heartless he seemed. After all, he was speaking about my late father just now. I glanced over at Hayden and the look on his face told me that he meant eve
Hayden could sense Malissa’s discomfort even before he saw how pale her face was. He cursed Ethan inwardly for the things that he had intentionally said to trigger such a painful reaction from Malissa. The discussion about the heir of Torex was uncalled for, although his response was truthful and factual. Then all those bullshit questions about Jack and what that dead man wanted. No matter how fond he was of Jack, he had been dead and gone for many years already. It was time that the living moved on with their lives and did what was best for the current times and the current situation.He did not love or respect Jack any less than before, but things have clearly changed, and he was just trying to keep the fort together while fulfilling the promise that he made to his elder brother. Once again, he wondered why life was so bothersome. Here he was acting like the proper boss-to-be of Torex while Malissa looked like she was about to faint right next to him. If this wasn’t what a disaster
“It’s too risky…” Hayden repeated softly. “Well, as I just said, before that you have to trust her enough to let her join the meeting in the first place,” Harvey said with a pleased smile as he summarized up his thoughts nicely. Hayden was no where near pleased about what his brother had just suggested and that was mainly because he knew that his brother was spot on right. He clicked his tongue in annoyance as he frowned. “Thank about it. Although, if I’m not wrong, you’ve already made up your mind,” Harvey said with a knowing smile. …It became increasingly more challenging for me to listen closely to the conversation while handling my headache that was quickly making me feel nauseous. I could feel Hayden glancing over at me and I forced a smile to my lips to let him know that I was fine. It would be a problem if I got sick and distracted him from the meeting. I was more than aware that my presence was already an inconvenience to Hayden without having him worry more about me. Et
“You still don’t get it, do you? You can continue asking her whatever that you want but she won’t reply to you. It’s useless, Ethan. Malissa isn’t going to say anything unless she has my permission, so I suggest that you quickly explain your business proposal,” Hayden said monotonously. “I see. Well, I don’t mind doing this the strictly business way. You do remind me of your older brother now…” Ethan said after having laughed for a little while. Hayden did not say anything as he waited to hear more details about the proposal which Ethan had in mind. My attention was also focused on Ethan. This was the moment that I had been waiting for, I’m finally going to learn something about what was going on. If this proposal works out, there could be peace between the gang and perhaps that would mean that Hayden’s life would be a little easier. “For the partnership, I want Torex to consider allowing Silva to conduct some businesses inside selected territories that are currently under Torex’s
I stared at Hayden, and he didn’t seem to share any of Ethan’s regret at all. My heart felt heavy knowing that it was probably impossible now for the two gangs to come to arrive at peace. I agreed with Ethan that it was unfortunate but there wasn’t anything that I could do about it. What will happen between the two gangs now? If things remain unsafe outside, will I be stuck locked up in the mansion forever? “We’re leaving,” Hayden muttered as he pulled me behind him.I could sense Ethan’s eyes on us, but I didn’t have the courage to turn around to take a look at him. This may very well be the last time that I see Ethan and I didn’t even get to say my farewells. “When are you two getting married? You are going to marry him right, Malissa?” Ethan called quite loudly after us. It was impossible for us not to hear him at the volume that he spoke. Hayden stopped in his tracks and my body froze at Ethan’s direct question. I wish I knew the answer to that. Once again, I felt extremely th
“I don’t trust a single thing that he said, and neither should you. Pay him and his words no mind,” Hayden said calmly. If I could control my mind that precisely then that was what I wanted to do. However, it wasn’t always so easy. Curiosity was like a curse. “Come here,” Hayden said invitingly as he waved me over. I wondered what he wanted. Regardless, I decided to obediently go to him. I stood next to his seat for a brief moment before his hands reached out and pulled me onto his lap. “Hayden…” I whispered his name with slight surprise. “Let me hold you for a while…” he murmured close to my ear. His arms around me held me tightly in his embrace before he turned me around so that I could settle more comfortably on his lap with my back against his large and warm frame. “Are you tired?” I asked as I leaned back a little against him. “Not really…” Hayden replied calmly. He kissed my temple softly before his hands began exploring the curves of my body starting from my waist befo
“You’re so wet. My fingers are sliding in smoothly…” Hayden whispered provocatively into my ear. “Ahhh…” I moaned loudly before I bit on my lower lip to control myself a little. Hayden’s thick and long fingers slid into my love hole slowly and smoothly just like he had said. My love tunnel was so flooded with my love juices that his entry into me was smooth. His fingers thrusted upwards into my hole until the entire length of his fingers were buried deeply into me. It felt so good that I couldn’t help but cry out for more. I turned my face a little to glance up at Hayden to find him staring down at the spot between my legs. “Want more?” Hayden asked as he shifted his eyes to meet mine. I felt heat rush to my cheek as I blushed while I nodded my head at him in reply. Hayden smirked at me and my naughtiness but instead of thrusting his fingers fast and hard inside of me just like what I had wanted, Hayden slid his fingers out of my pussy completely. “Hayden?” I said his name questi
