What did Hayden just say? He’ll deal with me. What does that even mean?“You should stay here for a while just to be safe and…don’t play around too much…” Hayden said as he looked at his brother pointedly. “You’re always so strict…” Harvey complained openly. “Just do as I say,” Hayden ordered firmly. “Sure. What do you plan to do with her?” Harvey asked and I could feel his eyes on me. I listened to the conversation of the brothers in wonder and was surprised that Harvey had asked the question that was on my mind. “I haven’t decided. Don’t worry, she won’t be stepping a foot outside. Neither will she speak to anyone,” Hayden replied very calmly.Harvey nodded with agreement before he flashed a smile my way. He’s so evil. He’s just…twisted and evil…“Well, from what I could tell from my inspection just now…her neck is quite slim, and her skin is soft and tender. It’s such a waste that she’s so stubborn and doesn’t seem to take instructions very well,” Harvey commented. Hayden did
To my surprise, the door unlocked with the scan of his finger. The small hair on the back of my neck stood up at the extra security. If I didn’t remember wrongly, none of the other doors that I had seen in the mansion had this security measure. That alone already told me that this room was quite different from the rest. The door clicked unlocked, and Hayden opened it with ease before he pulled me in through the door after him. At that point, I was so scared that I had already gotten over most of my fears. My body was no lower frozen from shock or fear and my mind had started to clear. Perhaps my experience of living with Hayden is now working to my benefit. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I had gotten slightly used to Hayden’s anger and this wasn’t the first time that I had incurred his wrath. Although this time, I had to admit that it was probably fully my fault. Hayden had the right to be mad at me and I was willing to suffer and go through his punishment. However, I knew that the
Where are we now? Why did he bring me to a place like this? It was dark and I wondered if there are lights in this place. As if to reply to my unasked question, Hayden took a couple of steps forward and the lights automatically switched on. His movement must have triggered the light censor and the whole floor was lit by warm orange light. It wasn’t bright but it was more than enough for me to see that we had arrived at a very large hallway that resembled the other ones in the mansion, although, this one wasn’t decorated like the others. Plain white walls lined both sides of the hallway. I felt a force tugging on my arm again as I was forcibly dragged forward. Hayden didn’t say anything, and I spent the silent walk down the long hallway looking around at nothing but white walls. We walked past many closed doors until we reached a door right at the very end of the hallway. The hallway was long, and I was sure that it was the same hallway that spanned the length of the mansion. I had w
“Do it. I’ll leave after you do,” Hayden said, and his hand released my wrist as if he had just remembered that he was still holding it. Blood returned to my hand, and I quickly rubbed my hand over my wrist to speed up the blood flow. Hayden didn’t say anything more as he walked over to a nearby chair and took a seat. His eyes returned to me as he looked at me passively. It was like he couldn’t care less what I did. He sat there patiently on the chair as he waited for me to tie myself to the bed just like he had instructed in detail. He can’t be serious…Normally, he would just tie me up or handcuff me to the bed or whatever, but he had never asked for me to do it myself. As far as I could tell, Hayden didn’t seem like he wanted to be in here with me any longer than necessary. However, he didn’t rush me, neither did he offer any help. He just sat there with a look of boredom on his face like he would rather be anywhere else but here with me. His calmness only scared me even more. W
My eyes glanced over at the table full of the different tools for restraint. In the end, I didn’t tie myself up and Hayden wasn’t even bothered to tie me up. It wasn’t like I could escape from this room anyways and perhaps; I didn’t even want to escape.‘Stay here. When everything is over, you can leave,’ Hayden’s words came back to haunt me, and my mind couldn’t get his emotionless face out of my mind. I sighed for the hundredth time that day as I tossed and turned on the soft king-sized bed. What is he thinking? How can he tell me that I could leave like it didn’t matter anymore? Is he really fine with me leaving? My brows furrowed together before I closed my eyes and covered them with my hands. I’m going crazy and it hasn’t been a day yet that I’ve been locked up in here. The territory that I had fought so hard to earn had been taken from me. I can’t roam around the mansion anymore and now I wasn’t just confined to my rooms. My territory is now much smaller, and it didn’t even ha
After leaving Malissa in the room underground, Hayden returned to his room to find a very worried-looking Auntie pacing around his living room. He glanced around at the overly decorated dining table along with the immense amount of untouched food as he wondered what this feast of a party was supposed to be for. “What’s this?” he asked bluntly. “Hayden! Why are you back so late?! Where is Malissa? She was supposed to meet me here to check the decoration and everything else. I called her but she didn’t turn up. I called her again and again…” Auntie wailed in panic.Hayden watched with furrowed brows as the old woman wrung her hands around like she was about to burst out crying. He quickly realized that she had not replied to his question at all and had asked him many more questions in return. “Answer my question first,” Hayden demanded curtly. “Malissa called me earlier. She said she wanted to have a special dinner with you, so I helped her prepare it. But when I called her to come
“How many times have you met the dog since then?” Hayden inquired. “Countless times. I feed Little Hayden here loads of snack and he fell in love with me…” Harvey said, a little too proudly. “More like he fell in love with the snacks. So, how did the dog get in this room?” Hayden continued asking. “I always keep the door open for him in case he turns up. He usually does so…” Harvey replied casually. “You left the door open. I knew it,” Hayden said as his eyes narrowed at his brother in disapproval. “If I didn’t leave it open then how could Little Hayden come in. Because of your warning no one in their right mind would even enter the hallway to my wing anyways,” Harvey said with a slight complaint. “Some girls aren’t in their right mind…” Hayden muttered as if talking to himself. “Haha! Evidently so…” Harvey said after laughing loudly. “You realize that this is your fault, right? You knowingly built a relationship with that dog. Then he ran in here and Malissa had to follow. On
Unfortunately, I was reminded again that this man is Harvey Torex, the first person in line to take over the Torex gang. He’s the real heir of Torex. A lump formed in my throat as I watched Harvey continuing to run his fingers along the handcuffs on the table. He didn’t say anything, but he seemed to be thinking of something. I took a few steps back to distance myself from him. “You should take a seat,” Harvey said casually, his eyes still lingering on the handcuffs. My body wouldn’t move, and it was like I was frozen to the spot. After a moment, Harvey turned his head around to look at me. His face told me that he wasn’t quite impressed that I was still standing quite far away from where he was seated. “Come over here and sit down on this chair,” he commanded with full detail. I gulped before I bit my lower lip as I willed my body to move. Slowly, I made my way to the chair located very close to where Harvey was sitting. Finally, I was sitting close to Harvey, and he presented m
