“Yes, she seems fine. We will proceed with the exchange now,” Hayden stated flatly as he waved his hand slowly for his men to approach with the money. What happens now? “Can you stand?” Hayden asked softly. I didn’t think that I could, so I shook my head at him helplessly. The truth was, even if I could stand up, I couldn’t walk which made me a huge burden. My freedom was just on the other side where Hayden’s men were, but it seemed so far away and impossible to reach with my feet taped together like this. “Move away from her, Torex,” the leader commanded coldly. Suddenly, all guns were drawn and pointed in Hayden’s direction. My head felt light, and I truly thought that I was going to faint just from the sight. This can’t be happening. One sign of aggression only led automatically to another as all of Hayden’s men drew their guns and pointed it at the enemies. I started praying and I didn’t even know what exactly I was praying for. Please…don’t shoot?“I propose a hostage excha
We can’t just leave Hayden here. How am I supposed to just walk out when Hayden is still stuck there in the middle of all the enemies? “We need to help Hayden!” I screamed and my voice came out as an ugly croak. One of Hayden’s men reached out his hands towards me as if to receive me from the tall man; however, when the time came, the tall man wouldn’t let me go. What is going on?“I see. This was never really about just the money. Well if you’re going to do something, now’s the time…” Hayden spoke up loudly. Suddenly, the situation had changed. The man refused to let me go and Hayden was still stuck on the other side. What is going to happen now?…**A few hours before**“This is just a hypothetical situation but what if they demand to take you in instead of Malissa. You do know that these guys probably hold some personal grudges against Torex, right?” Ethan asked. “Simple. You save Malissa. You ignore me and you kill as many of them as possible,” Hayden replied without hesitati
Ethan’s eyes spotted the glow in the dark symbol but when he arrived there, he was a few steps behind his men who had already arrived. “Hayden!” Ethan called his friend’s name loudly. “I’m fine!” Hayden replied as his men crowded around him like a group of human shields.“You need to tell me all about how you got out of that one…” Ethan teased when he came to Hayden’s side.Men from Silva surrounded Ethan to provide protection. It seemed that both men were in quite good shape given all the fighting that was going on.“Is Malissa out yet?” Hayden asked Ethan. “Not yet…but she’s very close to the exit,” Ethan replied while he anticipated Hayden’s outburst. “What?! Why is she still in here? Luka’s team will be here soon,” Hayden roared in shock. “Relax. She’s with a bunch of your men. She’ll be fine,” Ethan replied with certainty. Hayden broke through the row of men surrounding him and made a run for it. Ethan watched Hayden’s rushed movement in amazement at how foolish his actions
“Hayden and Malissa are out. Luka’s team is going in now, Boss!” I heard a man shout loudly. He must be reporting to the boss about the situation. I looked around in confusion at the many men that were on standby waiting outside for us. Suddenly, the weight of Hayden’s arm around my shoulder felt heavier. I turned to face him and that was when I realized that something was gravely wrong. “Hayden! Hayden!” I screamed his name loudly.My cries attracted the attention of a few men who were standing close to us. Hayden didn’t reply to me, but I could tell that he was in pain. I wrapped my arm around his back to better support his weight. I winced when my hand came in contact to something warm and wet. It can’t be…I looked down at my hand and my entire face felt numb from shock. Thick red liquid coated the palm of my hand. Hayden…“Hayden’s hurt! Please help! Help! Help!” I screamed loudly. “I’m ok, Lisa…” Hayden whispered close to me.He’s not ok. His voice sounded so weak. “Help p
Auntie looked down at me before she smiled sympathetically at me and reached out a hand to stroke my hair softly. I knew that she wanted to comfort me, but it wasn’t her comfort that I needed. I need to see Hayden. I opened my mouth to continue pleading with her but the sound of the door to my hospital room opening distracted me from my thoughts. A doctor walked in with a few nurses, and they headed directly for my bed. The nurses started checking on the machine that was hooked to my body and it was all a big fuss. I had no idea what was going on or what was wrong with me. I felt very tired, but I didn’t feel sick. The doctor flipped through pages of paper before flashing me a kind smile that showcased the wrinkles around his eyes. “How are you feeling, Malissa?” he asked kindly.“I feel fine…really…” I replied firmly.“I see. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll perform some basic checks because you just woke up…” the doctor informed me with a smile. He seemed kind and his presence helped ma
"You were asleep for almost three days. Hayden had a lot of time to recover," the boss informed me reassuringly."I was out for almost three days?! Really?" I exclaimed in shock.I thought I just took a nap because I felt so tired. It never occurred to me that I was out for a few days. What happened during those days when I was just sleeping?"Yes. Hayden was very worried about you too..." the boss affirmed calmly.Hayden was worried about me too?Although it made me extremely happy that he cared for me, I was soon engulfed by a sense of guilt. This all happened because I was careless and because of that Hayden got hurt, our wedding failed and so many people had to get involved to rescue me."I'm such a burden..." I whispered to myself."Maybe you are...but a man is only truly a man when he can take care and be responsible for his woman. That's a fact," the boss said sternly.I never thought that one day I would be comforted by the boss himself. Although I wasn’t sure if his words wer
“Malissa, stop crying…” Hayden commanded sternly. I had already lost count of the times that Hayden had told me to stop crying ever since this whole unfortunate affair started. Now that I think about it, he did tell me once before that he wasn’t a big fan of my tears. He hated it when I cried and that made me hate myself so much more for crying. “I’m sorry…” I whimpered as I tried to stop my tears. It wasn’t an easy feat to achieve, and I found it almost impossible to stop crying. My body shook even more and soon, I wasn’t able to speak anymore. “Stop crying, Malissa…” Hayden repeated again. “I…I can’t…” I managed to croak in such a broken voice that made me feel completely embarrassed.“Remove your hands from your face. If you’re going to cry, then let me see your ugly face,” Hayden said without any mercy.I felt his hand prying my hands away from my face. The more I resisted by trying to turn my face away, the more persistent Hayden’s hands became. “I’m going to end up hurting
“What are you doing? Let me help you…” I quickly offered.He shouldn’t be moving too much with that wound on his shoulder, right? Hayden held up a hand to halt me and I sat back down in my wheelchair. It was funny how we both ended up in this state and in the hospital together. The fact that Hayden seemed to be in a good mood was probably the only thing that was holding me together in one piece. I watched in slight confusion as Hayden seemed to reach for something before, he turned to face me again. “Give me your hand,” Hayden instructed as he held his hand out to me. Confused, I placed my right hand in his. That resulted in Hayden shaking his head in dismay before he sighed. How was I supposed to know what he wanted? “Your left hand, Malissa,” Hayden said as his blue eyes smiled at me. “Oh…” I mumbled before placing my left hand in his instead. “Here you go…” Hayden said casually. He took my left hand and I felt something sliding onto my ring finger. I blinked my eyes in surpr
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
