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 walked a hallway like this many times before but on a different floor. Now, I was underground, and I felt like I was about to find out why Hayden had brought me here.
Since this is the end of the hallway, this room beyond this door must be our destination. There is nowhere else that we could go. The large door was locked and required three level of security to unlock it. I was scared but I was equally as curious as to what lay beyond this door that required it to have three level of security on top of it being hidden underground like this.
Hayden inputted a password into the keypad and a few beeping sounds confirmed that it was the correct password. After that he proceeded to scan his finger and that was followed by the last level of security which was a retina scan.
I made a little bet with myself with nothing to wager on that what lay beyond this door must be treasure of immeasurable worth like diamonds, gold bars and rare artifacts. The mafia was loaded, and they had to have some treasure hidden away. This underground overly secured room felt like the perfect place for it to be.
Although I would trade anything to be back in my room or art studio right now, I didn’t mind taking a peek into Hayden’s treasure trove first.
He didn’t say no to Harvey when he suggested the idea. This is such a sick joke...
All I did was go in to fetch my puppy. That was all.
"Tie yourself to the bed..." Hayden said softly.
His eyes showed no emotion, if anything, he looked truly bored like he didn’t want to deal with me anymore.
"Excuse me?" I whispered in shock. What did he just say?
"There’re many options for you to choose from on that table over there. Pick what you like and tie your feet together. After that tie your wrist to one of the bed’s posts," Hayden instructed emotionlessly.
"Huh? You want me to..." I said, still in disbelief.
He’s asking me to tie myself up? Why?
