CHAPTER EIGHT

"See, kids like you shouldn't be left without supervision" He teased me and I slapped him shoulder. He caught my hand and pulled me, pecking my forehead he let go. I smiled waving at him and joined the guys while he drove away.

"You are okay?" Ivy asked me, worriedly.

"Yeah, what would happen to me?" I glanced at her confused.

"The attack, I know. I heard in the morning." She hesitated saying it in front of everyone.

"The attack, I know. I heard in the morning." She hesitated saying it in front of everyone.

"Wait, what happened. How come we don't know?" Dom straightened up.

"It was nothing. I am okay" I calmed them down.

"How come it was okay?....." Dom started his voice raised but I stopped him.

"It was okay Dom. It was'' I ended the topic walking forward. We walked, leaving the times square behind. We talked about different things. Had lunch in a café and then we had ice cream. We were drinking Coffee when we entered a dark passageway to take a shortcut to S.A.C. We had just walked a few steps forward when suddenly out of nowhere, dosorllas surrounded us. They outnumbered us and we took out our dagger ready to defend. They all attacked us at once and we slashed around at almost anything because they were too many. We were fighting when four of them suddenly turned towards me and attacked. As I was trying to defend myself, my foot slipped and I fell on the floor and the knife I was holding slipped out of grasp. I looked around but there was no one to help me. They towered me and I prayed knowing that there was nothing that could happen, except a miracle. I cowered when suddenly the one above me melted. I stood up hurriedly to get my knife but the others also melted. I looked up to see Hayden running towards me as one dosorlla was coming after him. I threw my knife and it melted. Hayden caught me, protecting me as his team of guards killed the herd of dosorllas. Soon, when they were all dead. I saw a mess was made on the concrete street and all the others were panting. Hayden checked me to see if I was hurt but I instead hugged him.

"Thanks for saving my life" I breathed out. He just frowned at me. Jeremy came up to him and they shook hands. It was evident from the handshake that they meant business. Dom followed him.

"You live in S.A.C. You should know who to trust and who you shouldn't. Be careful. Even your leader can betray you. You never know." His voice was ice cold and so were his eyes. His aura around them was as cold as ice. I shuddered inwardly as if I felt the cold.

"Hayden...." I called out his name weakly as everything started spinning in front of my eyes. The last thing I knew was that I fell into his arms.

"CALL HER AND BRING HER HERE!" I heard Hayden shouting in the distance. I called out his name feebly.

"You awake?" He asked me, holding my hand. I didn't reply to him, instead I just put my head in his lap. He stroked my hair and I closed my eyes, inhaling his cologne. His presence calmed me. I felt as if I was safe. I opened my eyes to see everyone sitting in front of me. I sat up on the bed. I looked around and realized we were in the penthouse but the room was not mine. Looking at the layout I had realized this was probably Hayden's. It was the same as mine but the color coding was masculine. I drank the glass of water Katie gave me. Katie and Ivy were looking stressed, on the other hand, Jeremy's face was void of any emotion and Dom's face was enough to turn a milk sour. He wasn't used to being ordered around as he was the rule breaker. Carl knocked and told Hayden that Amy was here. He stood up and walked outside, his aura turning menacing.

"Hayden dear, I don't get it?" Amy started in her sugar coated voice.

"HOW DARE YOU? THIS WAS THE LAST TIME. IF YOU EVER DO THIS AGAIN I SWEAR I WILL BE THE DEATH OF YOU" He wasn't screaming, he was roaring, holding Amy by both of his hands, shaking her vigorously. I got up from the bed and came outside, everyone on my tail.

"Hayden, calm down" I placed my hand on his arm but he was not backing down. He was screaming at her with all his might.

"HAYDEN" I had to scream his name in order to get his attention. The moment he heard me, he hugged me from the side still threatening Amy.

"If you ever come near us, you won't be able to live longer. I won't let anything happen to her like what happened to Dad. Keep that thing in your mind that is always scheming against people that are stronger than you. Carl, take her away"

After Amy was gone, well Carl practically had to drag her out. Hayden hugged me. I wasn't quite short. Just a foot shorter. His chin on my head. I know that there was something that was similar to what happened to his dad and what happened to me, for he was scared to death. We stood there for a while and I murmured sweet words to him. His phone rang disturbing us. He picked it up and went outside the living room to attend it. I turned around to see four people looking at me in shock.

"What?" I questioned them.

"You know you just hugged the person who hated hugs when he was child" Ivy pointed out. Another of his facts. I jotted down in my mind.

"Maybe, he changed his preference" I shrugged my shoulders walking towards the kitchen and opening the fridge. Luckily some of the leftover pasta was there.

"Anybody hungry?" I asked them and they all shook their head in a no.

"Well, I must warn you, for you are missing the best pasta made on the planet earth. I warmed the pasta and devoured it, moans threatening to come out of my mouth. It was so not my fault it still tasted so amazing.

"He threatened her. She is the head and owner of S.A.C. Does he know what he has done?" Dom questioned, dislike evident on his face for Hayden.

"Do you like Amy or something like that?" I asked, shoving food in her mouth. Everyone coughed and Dom looked around confused.

"She is the head. We cannot do anything against her" He stated as if Amy was the ruler of the world and they are insects who can not do anything.

"So, what if she is the head? If she is wrong, she is. You are justifying her wrong doings. That is just dumb of you." I said in a disgusted voice.

For the first time, Jeremy actually looked at her carefully. Somehow, he liked her because she knew what was right and wrong. Not like Dom, who was stubborn.

Hayden entered the kitchen, Carl following him.

"Sir, we have all the reporting's and we have men following her '' He stopped, looking at the amount of people that were present in the room.

"Okay, you can now leave and order your man to stay on full guard every time. Even one moment of laziness and you all pay for the consequences." Carl just nodded and left the room.
