Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18

What I Want

It remained a mystery to me how those two sweet little angels grew up to be the men that they were

today. There were photos of the two boys with the boss in many places such as his office, in a car and

in his private jet. I looked through the photos along with Harvey as he helped narrate some of the

photos while recalling his old memories from his younger days.

“This is Hayden when he was in primary school. He was a naughty little thing back then. Actually, he

still is even though he’s no longer little…” Harvey said followed by a small laugh.

Hayden smiled cheerfully along with some other boys that I didn’t recognize in the photos from his

primary school days. He looked so cute and adorable in all the photos that I couldn’t help but smile as

we continued going through the album. Sadly, the album ended with photos from Hayden’s primary

school days. There was nothing beyond that and it only made me want to see more photos of Hayden.

“Is this Ethan Silva?” I asked as I pointed to the very last photo in the album.

The photo was of a young blond boy with a dark-haired boy at what seemed to be a party of sorts.

Throughout the entire album, this was the only photo of Hayden with Ethan. The question slipped from

my mouth before I could stop myself. I wondered if Harvey knew about Ethan…

“Yes. Indeed, that is Ethan Silva. Then heir to the Silva gang and now he’s the head of Silva,” Harvey

replied smoothly.

So, he knows Ethan too. I wasn’t surprised but I wondered what Harvey felt about Ethan and how close

he used to be with Hayden.

“The two of them used to be close, right?” I asked curiously.

“Yes. Your father made it that way,” Harvey said as his eyes narrowed at me.

I see. So, he does know that Jack was my father. It seemed like Harvey knew everything. Whether he

found out by himself of if Hayden told him everything, I wasn’t sure.

“My father…” I mumbled.

“Honestly, I wasn’t a big fan of Jack despite how much my father trusted him and despite how much

Hayden got along with him. I always felt like he had a hidden agenda, and I don’t think that I’m wrong,”

Harvey stated matter-of-factly.

“I see…” I murmured.

“Don’t worry. I won’t punish you for what your father has done. I understand well that you two are

separate and different people. Well, that is what Hayden had been lecturing me about all along ever

since the old man dragged you back to us using that debt contract,” Harvey explained with a chuckle.

It was as if he really understood what I was thinking and how I felt. Harvey is very good at gauging and

understanding people. Either that or everything that I thought really showed on my face just like he had

said.

“Hayden and Ethan seem to like my father a lot…” I mumbled.

“They did. They probably still do. Our father was always busy dealing with me. Naturally because I’m

the next heir. He was tough on me, but I didn’t mind because that meant that Hayden could have an

easy time. He could do the things that he wanted in life. Hayden followed your father’s advice and

wanted to live a normal life. He studied hard and became a doctor and all that…” Harvey told me with a

faraway look in his eyes.

“I was very surprised when he first told me that he’s actually a doctor…” I said, recalling my shock

when he revealed that fact to me.

“I know, right? I was probably equally surprised when he told me that he wanted to become a doctor. I

was supportive of his decision, though. I’ll support whatever he wants to do…” Harvey said warmly. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

I could tell that Harvey wanted whatever would make Hayden happy. He’s such a good brother…

“Umm…Hayden told me that he doesn’t like his ‘job’,” I said softly as I tried to judge Harvey’s reaction.

It was true. Hayden did tell me that he hated his job, and he didn’t want to take over the gang.

However, because his brother was dead, he didn’t have a choice but to take over as the next heir. I

looked over at the healthy and living Harvey and wondered what would happen if people, especially the

boss, found out that Harvey is still alive. Will Harvey take over and spare Hayden from a life of heading

the gang?

“He doesn’t, and I don’t blame him. Unlike me, he wasn’t raised to become the next heir. He’s lived a

carefree life and it never really occurred to him or any of us that he might have to take over as the next

boss,” Harvey said with absolute understanding.

“Will you…take over?” I asked hesitantly.

Harvey smiled a little at me before he seemed to ponder my question seriously. It made me feel uneasy

that it seemed like Harvey was indecisive. I thought he would have thought about this already and

arrived at some sort of answer. However, if he had any plans in mind, he wasn’t willing to share it

directly with me.

“I don’t know. What do you think, Malissa? Should I take over the gang or should I leave it to Hayden

and walk away?” Harvey asked as his blue eyes held mine.

“I…” I mumbled before I realized that I didn’t have an answer to offer him.

Although I was the one who had asked him the question, he was the one that got me thinking. How he

managed to turn the tables around on me reminded me so much of his younger brother. I truly missed

Hayden and his company even if he could be mean to me at times.

What do I want for Hayden? Do I want him to take over or do I want him to go back to his normal life?

What was his life like before Harvey supposedly passed away?

“I…don’t know…” I replied honestly after some thought.
