Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18

A Crazy Visitor

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

me with a charming smile as his eyes watched my face intently.

The silence in the room was abruptly disturbed when Harvey began giggling before his giggles fully

transformed into loud laughs. My eyes widened at his outburst, and I wondered what he thought was

funny. I haven’t said anything, and I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to say anything.

“You don’t have to act so scared…even if you are,” Harvey said while trying to control his own laughter.

That was easy for him to say. He probably forgot that he was the one who suggested to Hayden that I

should be killed very recently. That hadn’t slipped my mind.

“I guess I should apologize for taking my joke too far the other day. You were so scared that I thought it

was funny,” Harvey said followed by a grin.

It was hard for me to believe that he was actually apologizing, and then again, I wasn’t sure if Harvey

really felt guilty about it. His character really did surprise me, though. Now that we were chatting alone

in my new room, he felt very casual and surprisingly easygoing. I wouldn’t go as far as to say that he

was someone who was easy to deal with, but he didn’t seem as intimidating and dangerous as I

perceived him at first.

“It’s ok…” I mumbled.

Harvey smiled a relief smiled before he nodded his head at me. I still wondered why he came to see

me. He didn’t come all the way down here just to apologize for what he did to me the other day, right? I

wasn’t sure what he wanted from me, but I knew what I wanted from him.

“You want to know what Hayden has been up to and why he hasn’t visited you, don’t you?” Harvey

asked with a know-it-all smile.

He read my mind. Just like that, he read my mind. I thought I knew this before when I first met him but

now that I was meeting him for the second time, I was convinced that the first impression that I had of

him was absolutely correct. This man is crazy.

“You think I’m crazy, don’t you?” Harvey asked as he smiled knowingly at me.

How did he…?

“No one’s ever told you before? What you think shows on your face,” Harvey said followed by a laugh

that echoed joyously in the room.

“What has Hayden been up to these days?” I asked in a small voice.

“Are you worried about him? Or…are you perhaps wondering why he hasn’t been around to see you?”

Harvey asked teasingly.

I bit my tongue to keep myself from screaming at him as my frustration started to take over. He’s just

toying with me, and I had to say that I didn’t quite like it. Unfortunately, I also knew that he was my only

source of information right now. I have to hold it in. I didn’t think that I would get any answers out of

Harvey that easily. He was probably harder to negotiate and deal with than Hayden. To make it worse, I

wasn’t willing to offer anything up to barter with him, my body included.

“Hayden and I…we’re just buying time,” Harvey stated softly yet extremely seriously after a small

pause.

His words and confession caught me completely off guard. My eyes widened and my mouth hung open

as I stared at his slightly sorrowful face.

“Excuse me?” I whispered, not quite believing what I have just heard.

“We’re just buying time. Although, I have no idea how much we can actually buy…” Harvey said C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

wistfully before sighing.

Something was clearly weighing on his mind, and I wondered if he would tell me if I asked. What was

so important to them that the brothers decided to fake Harvey’s death for. There must be a good

reason behind all of this.

“Do you want to know why we faked my death for all these years? You want to know, don’t you?” he

asked excitedly like a boy eager to spill his secrets.

I had to say that I didn’t expect him to tell me this easily. He even brought it up himself and now I was

truly confused. I can’t read this man at all. I had no idea what Harvey was thinking.

“Yes, I do…” I admitted truthfully.

“Haha! You’re a funny girl, seriously. I’m starting to see why Hayden has taken a liking to you. You’re

honest and very straight forward,” Harvey said while he continued to laugh.

I was being honest, but he was the one who asked so I didn’t quite understand why he was finding it so

funny. Then again, I should probably stop trying to understand a crazy man. It just might drive me crazy

as well.

“Are you going to tell me?” I prompted.

“Hmm…nope. I’m not going to tell you because Hayden would kill me for it,” Harvey said before

laughing loudly at me.
