Easier said than done. How do I even do that? I stared at the two men who were still in the same position as before. I can’t break them up so what should I do now?
Should I call Luka and the men in to stop this? Will that lead to a bigger mess than now?
I was so hesitant that I didn’t dare do or say anything. In the end, I decided to continue pleading to Hayden to let Ethan go so that we could go back.
"Hayden...please. I don’t want to be here anymore. Please take me back..." I begged as I continued to cry my eyes out.
I must look like such a mess right now. Why did things have to turn out this way?
"Hayden! Please...let’s go back together..." I pleaded once more when I didn’t get a response from him.
Time past by in silene for a while before I heard Hayden sigh loudly.
"If you wanted her to have a normal life, you wouldn’t have gone looking for her in the first place..." Hayden said flatly.
Slowly, he released his hold from around Ethan’s shirt and lowered his gun. The two men stared at each other wordlessly before Hayden turned to face me.
"Let’s go, Malissa. I know that you’re upset ..." Hayden said as he held out his hand towards me.
"Thank you..." I replied softly before breathing a sigh of relief.
I didn’t know where we are, but I guess if the helicopter could reach us then we were probably not too far from shore. Hayden was undoubtedly in a horrible mood and no one, including myself, dared speak to him. I glanced over at Hayden and saw that he seemed to be deep in thought. I wondered what it was that Ethan said that was bothering him so much. Was he shocked that I used to date Ethan?
Probably.
We sat side by side on the sofa in silence. Luka and the men had left the room, leaving us alone. It wasn’t long before we were both too consumed by our own troubling thoughts that it didn’t matter that we were sitting next to each other. Our thoughts made sure that no matter how close we were physically to each other, we were as far apart as could be.
Everything about what Ethan said bothered me and so did Hayden’s reactions. Hayden did not give away much by his words, but I could tell by his reactions that some if not all of the things that Ethan said was true to a certain extent. So many things happened, and I wasn’t sure where to start and where I should go from here.
I never expected to run into Ethan here of all places. It was even more shocking that he’s actually a mafia boss. What sort of luck did I have to be involved with two mafia bosses like this? This is all just so crazy. After we broke up and I couldn’t get in touch with him for around a year, he just appears in front of me and asked that we get back together.
Now...that was just crazy.
The truth was that if he had appeared in front of me and asked to get back together around a month ago, I might have truly considered it. However, since meeting Hayden and getting involved with him, I wasn’t sure about my feelings anymore. I remembered the sick feeling that I felt when Ethan offered to pay off my debt just to get me back.
In that moment, I guess I prayed for Hayden to turn that deal down. I sighed loudly and closed my eyes as I tried to sort out my feelings.
As if that wasn’t the worst of all problems, Ethan just had to go and say things that sounded so suspicious. What did he mean when he told Hayden that he came to find me first? I have never met Ethan or Hayden before. At least, not that I could remember. Why would they be looking for me? Ethan looked for me and found me.
Why?
