Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18

Back Where It Started

“If you like it, then we’ll go with this…” I said as I quickly typed out a reply to Lucy.

We were scheduled to meet up with Lucy and her team later today to go through the plans for the

actual day of the wedding. According to her, being at the venue would also help me picture what the

wedding would turn out to be like. With Hayden’s approval, the meeting at the church was going to

happen today in the afternoon.

“Thank you for driving me and coming to see the venue with me…” I thanked him when we arrived at

the church.

It was the same church where we had our first disastrous attempt at a wedding, but it felt so different

now. Unlike the fear, anxiety, and stress that I felt on the day that I was forced here to marry Hayden, I

felt only happiness and hope when I stepped out of the car onto the church grounds. The other

difference was that Hayden was here with me willingly.

“Don’t fall on your face. Why are you even wearing heels?” Hayden warned before he started

complaining a little.

I only smiled at him and how considerate he was despite his cold words as he extended his hand

towards me to help me walk up the path leading from the parking lot to the church. Lucy was already

there with her various team members when we arrived. She immediately walked us through the entire

layout of the church while gesturing to the parts where she would place the key decorations such as

the main backdrop where we would take photos with the guests.

Hayden seemed completely disinterested and I wondered if he was even listening. Regardless, it was

enough for me that he was there at my side although his mind seemed to be miles and galaxies away.

The church was much larger than I remembered it and that was probably because there were no

guests in there.

“I saw your reply that you’re fine with our proposal. Now that you’ve seen the venue, is there something

that you want to change or tweak?” Lucy asked when our little tour around with her came to an end.

Honestly, there was just so much information that I was struggling to keep up. Everything seemed fine

and I trusted Lucy a lot to let her deal with everything.

“It’s all good. I’ll leave it all in your capable hands,” I replied with a smile.

Hayden just nodded his head slightly as he looked around with a blank look in his eyes. I thanked Lucy

and her team members after that. Lucy suggested that we walk out together but before I could agree to

her suggestion, I felt Hayden tugging on my hand.

“You guys can head back first. Malissa and I will stay back to check on somethings. Thank you,”

Hayden said curtly.

Lucy seemed to get his message immediately because she quickly excused herself and soon it was

just Hayden and I left in the large and quite empty church.

“Feeling nostalgic?” Hayden spoke up.

“A little. I doubt you remember much from that day, though…” I replied with a small laugh.

“You’re right. I don’t really remember anything. Traces here and there…and a throbbing pain in my

head,” Hayden replied before he turned to smile at me.

“You were very drunk…” I said softly.

“Yeah…” he murmured.

I wondered how Hayden felt on that day. He probably didn’t want to be forced into marrying a random

girl that he didn’t know. I wondered if he recognized me that day but then realized that he probably

didn’t We probably felt the same way. Who would have thought that we would come back to the same

place later to get married for real.

“It’s a little funny now that I think about it. You know, how we’re really going to get married here at the

same place where it all started,” I said.

I could still recall the moment when Hayden first walked into the church, more like he was dragged into

the church. He was very drunk, and it was just a one disaster followed by the next after that. Looking Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

back on it, I found it super funny and amusing now, but that wasn’t how I felt at all on that day.

“We can change the venue if this place brings back too much bad memories for you,” Hayden said as

his fingers pushed my chin up to raise my face up so that I had to meet his blue gaze.

His blue eyes looked at me with care and warmth. Gone were the usual coldness that plagued his

eyes.

“There’s no need to change the venue. Actually, I prefer this place even more because of the history

that we share with it. This is where we first met,” I said with a smile.

“Not quite true. We met before, although you don’t remember anymore,” Hayden said solemnly.

That’s right. When we were younger, we probably met somewhere. If only I could recall some

memories from that time…

Warmth enveloped my body, and I felt the strength of his arms as he pulled me back against his much

larger and taller frame. Hayden held me against him with his around my chest before I felt his warm

breath close to my ear. He kissed my cheek softly and I felt butterflies in my belly from his tender and

loving gesture.

My eyes travelled around the church as I tried to envision what this place would look like on our actual

wedding day based on the photos that the team put in so much effort to simulate. In a few days’ time,

Hayden and I would be standing there in front of the alter to exchange our marriage vow because we

will formally become man and wife. The thought still made a slight shiver run through my body because

it just all seemed so unreal to me.

I glanced down at the slight stinging in my breasts to find his large hands squeezing my breasts

through the fabric of my clothes. Clearly, Hayden had other things in mind that had nothing to do with

the decoration of the place. We were alone but it was broad daylight not to mention that we were in a

church.

“Hayden…” I said in name in a low and warning tone.
