Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18

Wedding Preparations

“Have it your way. However, you are going to marry Malissa next weekend on a Saturday without any

excuses. This time, you will not disappear before the wedding or turn up bloody drunk like the last time.

Do you hear me?!” the boss screamed as he stood up and pointed an accusing finger at Hayden’s

face.

I grimaced as I turned to look away for a moment.

“Of course. If that’s what you want. Agree to my conditions and I’ll marry her next Saturday,” Hayden

said without hesitation.

My head snapped back to stare at him so fast that my neck make a slight cracking sound. What did he

just say?!

We’re getting married next Saturday? Isn’t that like…more than a little rushed?

“Well, I look forward to the wedding and the celebration. This is going to be huge!” the boss cried out

happily as he began clapping his hands together again.

I have never seen anyone have such a fast and drastic mood shift before in my life. One moment he

was angry and then he was happily cheering and clapping. If I didn’t know better, I would have believed

easily that the boss had bipolar disorder.

“Cash! Lots of cash!” the boss shouted before he pressed the same button from before.

The last time he ordered champagne, and it was brought in. This time he ordered…it can’t be. Please

tell me what I’m thinking isn’t correct.

A moment later, the same thin man knocked at the door before entering with two large luggage.

Carefully he rolled the two large luggage to where we were seated. With an approving nod from the

boss, the thin man unlocked and opened the luggage one by one to display wads of cash that were

neatly ordered inside.

“This is for you, Malissa dearest. Please do let me know if this isn’t enough. I know that we are short on

time but there isn’t anything that money cannot solve when it comes to arranging for a wedding, right?

Please use this money for everything that you need and want. Tailor your dress. Buy jewelry. Beautify

yourself. Get the best of everything! If you don’t know what to choose just go with the most expensive

option!” the boss ordered as he proudly pointed to the cash inside the luggage.

While I didn’t know how to react at having so much money offered to me for my wedding preparation,

Hayden facepalmed himself with a loud smack right next to me. The boss proudly beamed a bright and

wide smile at both of us while I tried my best to smile back. What do we do with this money now? Can

we just turn him down? Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“We don’t need it. I have more than enough money to pay for my own wedding,” Hayden declined

bluntly.

“That won’t do. This isn’t just your wedding. Take the money, it’s already out and I don’t want to waste

time putting it back,” the boss snapped.

That was that. In the end, Hayden got the two conditions that he wished for, and I got two large luggage

filled with cash. I was too shocked to say anymore. Honestly, my mind wasn’t focused on the cash in

front of me or the fact that the boss probably still had very unrealistic expectations of us. All I could

think of was the fact that I would be marrying Hayden in around a week’s time.

Things are moving along much faster than I could have ever imagine.

…

“What kind of wedding do you want to have?” I asked Hayden as we sat across from each other at the

dining table for breakfast.

After meeting the boss and finding out that our wedding was literally right around the corner, my mind

was filled with nothing but wedding preparations and plans. Unlike the wedding that we attempted

before where I just had to turn up, I was looking forward to this wedding because it was real to me. I

was marrying Hayden because I wanted to, and I wanted to make our special day a very memorable

one for us.

“The kind that you want to have,” Hayden replied without looking up from the teacup that he was

holding.

Well, that wasn’t very useful or helpful…

“What about our outfit for the day. Do you have any preferences?” I asked before I smiled sweetly at

him.

“I’ll go with the one that you like best,” Hayden replied as he placed the teacup down before he started

reaching for his phone.

I bit my lower lip when I was forced to acknowledge that Hayden either wasn’t a huge fan of planning

weddings or he just didn’t really care.

“What about the venue? Would you prefer a simple wedding at a church or maybe a more unique place

like outdoors?” I asked while trying to keep my spirits up.

“The boss requested for that old church…from before…,” Hayden replied as he flicked his finger along

the screen of his phone.

I blinked rapidly in surprise at the mention of that church that we attempted to have our charade of a

wedding last time. Hayden did not say anymore and by that time, I had completely given up on trying to

engage Hayden in any of our wedding preparations. I stared at Hayden who was still paying me little to

no attention while he started reading something on his phone. I sighed silently to myself when I realized

that I was probably alone in all of this.

Suddenly, I had lost all of my appetite and I didn’t want to be sitting there close to him anymore.

Without a word, I stood up from the table and started walking away. Maybe some alone time would help

me feel better. If this was too difficult for me to do alone and Hayden didn’t really care about it, I might

as well use the money that the boss gave me to hire a wedding organizer. That’s it. Nothing that money

can’t solve when it comes to wedding preparations indeed.

“Where are you going?” Hayden asked a little coldly.

“Nowhere. I’m still grounded here,” I replied before I quickly walked out of the room.

After leaving the dining room, I made my way back to my room and slammed the door close after me.

The door closed with a loud thud while I let out a loud growl of frustration. What is wrong with him?
