Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18

Unknown Future

“I’m back now! All of that doesn’t matter. If we leave the gang to Hayden, Torex will become weak, and Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

you know that! Stop being so stubborn. I know that you’re pissed but I’m ready to take over now!”

Harvey yelled back equally as loudly.

Father and son stared at each other, and it became clear that Harvey had inherited the boss’s temper,

at least to a certain degree. Of all the times that I’ve seen Hayden engage in an argument with the

boss, he had never shouted at the boss like this before. Hayden’s approach was colder and calmer.

Hayden let out a sigh next to me as he glanced at his watch as if wondering how long those two will go

at it. It was clear that Hayden didn’t want to get involved and I was starting to worry if violence will

break out between the other two.

“Is this…normal?” I dared to ask in a small whisper.

“Absolutely. It’s completely normal. It’s how those two normally communicate,” Hayden said with a

chuckle.

“Right…” I whispered before wincing as the voice in the room seemed to boom even louder than

before.

Maybe we should just get out of here and leave the two of them to sort things out.

“Never mind them. What about you? What do you want me to do?” Hayden asked and I knew that he

was referring to his question to me before.

If I had to choose, then I would choose the alternative that made Hayden happiest. He hated this job,

right?

“You don’t really want to take over the gang and I don’t want you to do something that you don’t want

to. So, I’ll probably choose for Harvey to take over instead. It seems like he wants to do that as well,” I

replied after some thought.

“Maybe or maybe he’s just saying all that because he’s thinking exactly what you’re thinking,” Hayden

whispered to me.

“What do you mean?” I asked to make sure that I understood things properly.

Harvey thinks the way that I do?

“He doesn’t want me to spend my life doing something that I don’t want to do…” Hayden replied before

he smiled sadly at me.

In reality, does Harvey even want to take over or was he doing it simply because it was his

responsibility?

Regardless…

“Let’s wait to see what the two of them decide,” I whispered in reply.

After a while longer, the shouting of the two men ceased. Either they have come to some sort of

agreement, or they had simply lost their voice. The boss was visibly panting, and his face was beet red.

Harvey seemed tired as well.

The two of them flopped down as if half dead on the sofa while Hayden started to laugh openly. I

wished I could find it funny too but the seriousness of the situation and how our future were practically

riding on this decision just made it impossible for me to join in with Hayden’s laughter.

“So? What have you guys decided for the fate of Torex? Who will take over? Harvey…or me?” Hayden

asked bluntly.

“I’ll take over just like I was supposed to all along. This gang doesn’t need you anymore so you can go

back to whatever you were doing with your life,” Harvey replied confidently.

The life that Hayden had before this…

“Is that right, dad?” Hayden asked casually.

“Yeah…whatever. I need a drink…” the boss muttered as if he couldn’t care less anymore.

He reached his thick finger out to press the button before screaming for someone to bring in some

vodka. I guess he’s in need of quite a lot of alcohol in his system right now.

Harvey turned to smile at me before he nodded his head reassuringly. It was as if he wanted to tell me

that everything was settled and that everything would be fine from now on. I didn’t know what to say, so

I just nodded back as I silently thanked him with all my heart. Although, I had no idea what life would be

like for Hayden and me going forward, I appreciated that Harvey was willing to do something for the

sake of his younger brother.

…

Later that night, I was lying next to Hayden on the bed just like always; however, something felt

different. Suddenly, there was even more uncertainty in our lives and I felt quite troubled.

“What’s going to happen to the gang now?” I asked, suddenly feeling very worried.

“Harvey will take over soon, most probably. Things will get…more exciting with him as the new boss,”

Hayden said with a laugh.

More exciting?

“As in…” I mumbled.

Hayden turned to smile before he winked at me, and I had a bad feeling about this.

“Harvey’s methods are…a little more violent and crazy than mine. That’s for sure. Unlike me, he

specializes heavily on the mafia side of the business and doesn’t care much about the white and clean

side of things. He’ll probably leave that to hired business managers while he enjoys whipping people

like slaves on the dark side,” Hayden explained before he laughed loudly.

“Isn’t that…bad?” I questioned.

“Not really. It’s probably the most efficient way to manage the gang as well as the other gangs. Harvey

won’t let things slide by as easily as I did. He’s even tougher than the boss, honestly,” Hayden replied

with a careless shrug of his shoulders.

“Hayden…what are you going to do from now on?” I asked what had been foremost on my mind.

“I can’t tell you…but I can show you when the time comes…” Hayden replied with a confident smile.

Something told me that he had things figured out for us already, but I still hated the fact that he wouldn’t

tell me anything at all.

“You should just tell me…” I complained before I started pouting for real.

Can’t he see how worried I am? How much longer do I need to feel worry like this?

“Don’t make that face…it makes me want to tease you more…” Hayden said.
