Thank you for my reviews so I write my story better lol :)
Last time : -
I could feel myself starting to get nervous. What is he up to?. Once the elevator reached the bottom and the doors opened I stepped out to see Kai standing about 100metre away leaning on his car. Eyes closed legs crossed slightly.
The elevator doors closed and started to go back up to ground level. There is no going back now.
Chapter 4
Blast From The Past Part 2
I cannot remember the last time I felt my heart beat as fast as it is right here in this moment, staring straight at Kai. He seems to have changed out of his work suit and gone for casual dark combats with a black jacket and his trade mark white scarf.
I started to walk over but leaving enough space between us. His eyes still close and stood in the same potion.
"What do you want Kai?" Standing with my hand on my hips.
He didn't move, it was like he didn't even hear me. Typical Kai, he's still as aragonite as he was 8 years ago.
"Forget it. I don't even care what you have to say" I started to walk away, when he finally spoke up.
"Then why did you come meet me?" His tone was firm. Still not looking at me.
"You asked me to come and you didn't give me chance to refuse you... Anyways where did you get my number from and which hotel I'm staying in?" I turned round, even more frustrated than before.
"Hn. I always did like it when you got angry at me" Kai said while smile.
Who does he think he is stalking and making comment like that about me. I pressed the elevator button.
"Have you thought about our proposal?" I heard Kai move away from his car.
"Not into great detail no"
"I know what was happening to you before you left" Kai said in a sorry voice.
I turned round to look at him, to see him only cm away from me. "What the fuck do you mean you know what happened to me, you know nothing. You got up and left me fast enough to even care" I have not heard so much anger in my tone for along time.
I tried pushing him away from me, which in that instant he grabbed my arm and held it tight.
Looking me dead in the eye, I couldn't breathe. "I know your father knew what your uncle was doing to you and he did nothing to help you. I also know you believe you left because of me, but deep down you know that isn't true. You would have left no matter what" his eyes seemed so sincere.
I could feel myself getting angrier which makes me want to cry. And I was not about to let my emotion get the better of me. "I left because I wanted more for myself, you was just there to bind the time" I started to shout.
#DING
As the elevator doors opened I tried to remove myself from Kia's grip but he would not let go. "You know if you go in there I will just follow, so we can ether do this down here or in your room ether way I'm happy" I could see him smirking.
"Ha. You haven't changed have you. Your still an arrogant bastard who doesn't seem to care about anyone or anything only your self" I had abit of laughter in my voice. If he wants to play games then fine, lets play.
"If that's what you believe. You haven't changed much yourself ya'no. That mouth still get you in trouble?" His smirk just grew bigger.
"HN" I closed my eyes and crossed my arms, walking away from him towards his car. He still makes me so mad. 'Urgh'
"Cassia" he shouted at me like I was a child. "We really need you to be apart of this campaign. People in Russia know who you are and where you come from. This will be a good way of coming to terms with it and acce..." I cut him off.
Turning around so fast, I started walking over to him. I just blew, my blood was far beyond boiling. "Come to terms with it? Ha, All iv done for the past 8 years is come to terms with my past. Why was my mothers life taken from her? Why was my father the worst fucking father going? Why did he let that man raped and abused me, when he knew about it but did nothing to help me? Why did you abandoned me when I needed you the most? You don't think I sit every day and ask myself again over and over. It was not my choice to come back here, it's just business and once I'm finished I'm never coming back. Not to see you, Tala or any body. People always leave, you told me that so guess what I'm leaving" after I finished pushing and pocking at him I walked off. "I decline your offer Kai, so don't bother me again." I could feel tears forming in my eyes from anger and hurt my heart was feeling.
I heard Kai get in the car, turn it on and drive towards the exit. I decided to get the elevator nearest to we're I'd walked, which was near the exit. I didn't turn around to look. I could see Kai waiting for the barrier to go up.
As the elevator doors stared to open, I felt two arms grab around my waist and throw me over there shoulder. "Kai, what are you doing? Let go of me" I screamed at him while slamming my fists into his back.
He opened the passenger car door and threw me in the seat. "I am not letting you decline until you see what we have done Cassia" he shouted at me while slamming the door and going around to the drivers side. Before I could refuse he had already drove off as fast as he could.
"Where are you taking me Kai?"
Alice POV
Today has been a long day. Iv had serval calls from the Moscow Times. The press conference was horrid as Cassia was in a foul mood after the meeting at Hiwatari Enterprise. I just hope Cassia's photos are decent enough for Dior. That would be the cherry on the cake if there is problem with them.
"Arhhh" I screamed at myself. Leaning my head into my hands. "Why are you so dam awkward Cass" saying out loud and rubbing my eyes.
"Because she has Valkov blood in her. It's just normal" A random voice appeared next to me.
I looked up to see the red head from the meeting earlier. He'd changed out of his work stuff and went for more casual look. "It's Tala right?" I said while giving a small smile.
"Yes and your Alicia correct? " He held hand out to me.
"Call me Alice" I took his hand and shook it.
"May I buy you a drink? No offence but you look like you need it" I was not offended by his comment but I could imaging I looked a state.
"Thank you. Red wine for me please" I wonder what he's doing here?
While he was ordering our drinks I put my iPad in my bag. He passed me my drink and offered a look over to the sofas available in the corner. I accepted his gesture and walked over.
Once sat down I broke the silence. "If your looking for Cassia she's gone to bed, and I'd probably leave anything till morning, if you know whats good for you that is" I gave him a smile while taking a sip of my drink.
"Actually it's you I'm here to see"
"Me? Oh" I gave him a confused look.
"Your the daughter of Stephen Heart the multi billionaire, are you not?"
"I am" I said intrigued in his question.
"Personally I'm wondering why your job is managing my sister when you could be managing a billion dolour company?"
A small smile crept on my face. "I have never been interested in my fathers company, nor will I ever. Plus I enjoy my job, the opportunities and experiences me and your sister have had, I would never be able to have done them working for my father"
"Iv met your father a few times, we have some business together in china"
"My father has many businesses all over the world, I lose count and it does not interest me in the slightest, as long as he lets me use his jets and pays my inheritance, I do not care"
Tala raised his eye brows at me. "You have known my sister for the past what 7 years?" Tala said changing the subject.
"I met her about 6 years ago at university. We live in the same dorms and had business lectures together. Why?"
"She did a business degree?" Tala sounded shocked.
"Er... Yes but only 2 years. She dropped out after and started modelling. But she worked at a performing arts school for young children. Why are you so surprised she did a business degree? She owns 1/3 of a business, In fact one of the biggest in the world"
"Cass was never interested in anything to do with the business. She was never a... book type lets say" Tala said.
"Hn. I know that, I did most of her work" I said while laughing to myself.
For some strange reason I feel comfort in this guy. He seems nice enough but we shall see what he's all about. "So Tala..." I gave him a cheeky smile while drinking my wine "Tell me the story with You, Kai and Cass. There seemed to be a lot of tension between Cassia and Kai I'm assuming there is some kind of history?"
"Ha" Tala's was quite mocking. "Do you really know nothing about her life here?"
"No. She never wanted to speak about it so I knew it must have effected her in the past" I said while finishing off my drink.
"How about we go out somewhere for dinner and il tell you anything you want to no, plus we can talk about convincing Cass to go ahead with our deal"
Dinner was not really my thing Plus I was not dressed for it. He steered me straight in the eyes, I felt like I was in a trans and could not refuse. "Late night coffee with dessert and your on" I stood up putting my hand out to him.
He stood up and shook my hand. His arms and chest were all muscle. I could see his eyes wondering all around my body. I didn't mind as I couldn't help but stare at him. My eyes were addicted to looking at his wide shoulders and tone arms.
I felt him release my hand to put on his coat. "Shall we" he said while grabbing my coat and putting it round my shoulders.
End of Alice POV
Cassia POV
After 10 minute of silence and not having a clue where he was taking me to I decided to end the silence.
"Where are you taking me Kai? If you have not noticed I'm in my pj's" His eyes were firm on the road but I could see him smiling from the side of his face.
"This is not funny. You'v kidnapped me, the least you can do is tell me where we're going. P lus if anyone sees me out like this they will have a field day with the news papers" I was getting really frustrated with him now.
"I have not kidnapped you, and stop acting like a child. No one is going to see you so stop worrying. There are more important things happening than you in your night wear"
"Hn" I crossed my arms and legs, sat back in my seat and steered out the window.
It was snowing, but only a soft shimmer; Like dust. I started to recognise the street. It had large mansions on ether side of the roads. All high with steel gates. I felt myself starting to panic, I know were he's taking me, but why?
I caught Kai look over at me. "It's ok" he said, trying to reassure me.
"Why have you bought me here? I don't want to be here"
He stopped the car right outside the house. My old childhood house, it looked empty, dark and uninviting. It just looked like an old abandoned house you see in them horror films. "Kai please, I don't want to be here" I started to beg.
"What are you so afraid of Cass? Don't you want to go pick up your old things you left?" Kai steered straight at me. His look was warm and genuine.
"My stuff is still in there? But, why hasn't it been sold? I thought Tala would have got ridden of this place straight away" curiosity came over me.
"He can't touch it, your father left the house to you. Including everything inside. All your belongings and your mothers" he placed his hand on the back of my head. I could feel his thumb moving slowly, while looking at me.
"He left me everything? But why? He told me if I left I'd get nothing including both mine and my mothers belongings" I said trying to hide my tears
"I don't no. All I know is that when all the contracts and wills were brought forward, nether me or Tala were aloud to touch any part of this house without your signature"
I started to laugh at myself. "Ha, if that dead bastard thinks this is his way of saying sorry, he's sadly mistaken" I could not help but smile.
"Here" Kai went into his pocket and handed me a set of keys. "You can do as you wish with the house. Keep it, sell it, burn it whatever its yours. But I would consider having a look inside before you do decide" I accepted the keys, took off my seatbelt and got out the car.
The wind had picked up a little and was blowing snow everywhere. I heard Kai get out and lock the car up. He came stood behind me, putting his hand on my shoulder.
"I'm right behind you Ana" Kai said comforting me
Walking up to the gate I annualised them. Old and rusty was all that came to mind. Opening them it made a horrid screeching sound. Walking up the path, snow had covered the whole drive way. The front door was like an old-fashioned dark oak look.
While putting the keys into the lock I closed my eyes and turned it till it clicked. "Do you promise everything will be ok?" I quickly turned around and looked at Kai.
"I promise. Once you say your done we will leave, no messing around ok" Kai reassured me.
I just nodded, turning back to the door and pulling the handle down. Giving it a good push, the door opened.
End of Cassia POV
Tala POV
After a short stroll down the street I took Alice to a small all night russian cafe. While she went to sit down I ordered 2 coffees and a few vodka shots to warm us up, plus a pieces of chocolate cake with ice-cream. Once the order was in I found where she was sitting. I caught sight of her golden brown hair. Earlier that day it sat perfectly smooth which framed her face, but now it was going wild and curly from walking in the snow. She was sat in the corner on a set of sofas next to the window, with a small log fire to the right of her.
Walking across I removed my coat and sat opposite her. Her dark eyes looked at me with innocence and ease.
"Well you said you would spill so, spill" Alice eager to hear about our past life.
"We're would you like me to start?"
"Why is Cass so against being apart of this? She has never given up an open opportunity to advertise herself especially to a good cause. What's her story?"
Just as Alice finished the waitress arrived with our drinks. Placing both coffees, 2 vodka shots and the chocolate cake down with two forks.
"Spa-see-ba" thanking the waitress in Russian. I passed Alice her shot.
"Vodka?" Alice said while smelling the content of the glass.
"This place sells the best vodka around and your going to need it trust me"
We toasted the shot and through them back. I watched and waited for her to ether choke on the strength of it or at lease pull some sort of facial expression, but nothing. Alice did not even squirm, just licked her red lips.
"That's some good stuff" putting her glass back on the table and grabbing a fork for the chocolate cake.
She has no idea of how different her life is compared to Cassia and mine. There is no Hurt or pain in her. Just happiness.
Alice bought me out of my thoughts. "So why did Cassia leave then? I mean something bad must have happened for her to just get up and travel thousands of miles away from her family, especially at 16"
"Cassia was never a easy child, she rebelled against everything and anyone who told her what to do. It only got worse once her mother died"
"Start from the beginning of everything" Alice sitting back in her seat like a child waiting to be told a story.
"My father and mother split when I was first born because my father found another woman called Crystal Balkov. Within a year they got married and had a baby girl called Cassia Anastasia Valkov. Crystal was a great mom to both me and Cass.
Our father was a business man, he had his own lines of property development and worked with some top business people. I was always interested in the business from a very young age but Cassia was a real girly girl, she used to sing and dance constantly. We was a normal family until our father became part of an organisation called Biovolt. At first it was a camp to help young beyblader's improve on skills and ability. A man name Voltaire Hiwatari from Hiwatari Enterprise got bought forward to him by Crystals brother, Boris Balkov. He part owned Biovolt along with Voltaire. They set up an arrangement that both me and Cass would join Biovolt once we became 8. Our father agreed but insisted on the contact that once we both turned 16 we could leave. The contract went through and he got shares out of the Hiwatari business. From then on everything changed. Biovolt was not what it seemed. You know the stories from what happened in Biovolt right?"
"Yes, you all got trained to be unbeatable beyblader's. If you lost you got punished. Did your dad know about any of this before he signed you both up?" Alice said accepting all the information I'd been giving her.
"Not at first. By the time he did the power he had gotten was to much for him to refuse. His own business was now bigger than ever, plus being apart of Hiwatari trade was not any mans job. If he told anyone about Biovolt his own business would have been brought down as well.
By the time Cassia was bought to Biovolt I had been there a year and knew what she was in for. Boys and girls were separated at night but trained through the day. It was hard to get used to at first, but after a few years it was just life. We went home on weekends and back to Biovolt Monday-Friday.
We never really seen our father, he was always away on business. Crystal knew what was happening but could not do anything, if she did leave we would have no one to help us, and she could not take us away because she had nowhere to go to plus she loved our father more than anyone. When we did come home she tried to keep it as normal as possible for us. She used to watch us train and cheer us both on, sing, dance, watch films, eat junk food. A normal family weekend.
One weekend we went home like normal, I was 14 and Cass just turned 13 three days before. We arrived seeing our fathers car pulled in the drive. As soon as we got inside our father called us to his office. He explained Crystal had died in a car accident. All of our worlds broke down especially Cassia, the only thing keeping her alive was her mothers love and kindness. Our father only knew how to love was because of Crystal. Once she died there was no family anymore.
Cassia blamed our father for what happened, she refused to ever go back to the house with him being there. Not even I could break her from this hatred shed created. She became heartless and angry at the world.
Biovolt used this anger to there advantage although they thought. After a few years she became too powerful and angry with life, that she nearly destroyed the whole place. Only one person seemed to be able to keep her lack of control under control when beyblading was..."
"Kai" Alice said interrupting, while taking a big bite of her chocolate cake.
"Yes. Both me and Kia watched over her but there friendship as rival beybladers was obvious to the public eye but behind closed doors no one suspected a much more intimate relationship was being formed. Any kind of relationships was not permitted under any circumstances. No one except me knew about their sexual relationship for about a 6month, until they got caught out. Cassia got taken away for about 3 months. I asked my dad where she was taken too, but every time he just said 'she's fine and I didn't need to know where she was or when she will be coming back'"
"Wow, your dad sounds like a total idiot if you ask me. I got the idea Cassia and Kia had history because the tension earlier you could have cut it with a knife." Alice starting to get a little shocked by what I was saying.
"When Cassia arrived back at Biovolt she had turned back into that heartless girl again. But her beyblading skills were unbelievable, she had full control of everything around her. But no matter what had happened, her and Kai still couldn't keep away, they encountered all punishments but nothing fazed them. Eventually Boris and Voltaire and our father realised putting me, Kai and Cassia together was the ultimate beyblading team, we was heartless to our opponents and never gave in. Our bit Beast where unstoppable together"
"So what happened? Did they just let you get on with things?" Alice starting to realise how it all worked.
"Cassia still rebelled against everything she was trained to do so the torturing continued. She would be taken away for days and brought back bruised and damaged. She never cried or shown emotion she just continued on.
"Did you or Kai know what was happening to her?" Alice face was shocked and hurt was in her eyes.
"Not at the time, we just assumed a normal beating but when we asked she would never tell us, I found out a few years ago. Boris would continuously raped and assaulted her"
Alice interrupted me. "And your father knew about it and let it all happen?" I could see anger in anger eyes.
"Yes"
Alice did not say anything, but she did not need to. I could see the hurt and pity she felt.
"Don't feel sorry for her Alice. Cassia would hate you if you did, she does not accept pity from anyone" I put my hand on hers.
Alice just nodded. "So you said when you was 16 you could just leave why didn't you?"
"I had to stay and look after Cassia and this was my life, it was all I knew. I still had some sort of relationship with my father. He kept me in main line to take over his part of the business same as Kai was going to for Voltaire. But Kai got an opportunity to get out and went to live in Japan" I could see Alice taking every bit on information in and putting pieces together herself.
"So Kai left Cassia? I assumed she would have left him" Alice seemed a little confused
"No. He beat her too it, She caught him packing his things to leave and then he had to tell her. He thought it be easier if he left without saying a word to anyone"
"He broke her heart" she put her hand on her heart.
"One months later Cassia turned 16, she inherited the money her mother left for her, our father tried bribing and threatening her into staying but she was not falling for of of it. She had no feelings or emotion anymore. There were no goodbyes no nothing. I decided to stay for my father sake as I knew he would one day figure out what he's done and try and make amends"
Alice sat silent. It was a lot for her to take in. The friend she thought she knew so well, she really knew nothing about her horrific past.
"I think that's enough for now" I said while laying down on the sofa, putting my arms around the back of my head, giving Alice a cheeky smile.
She turned and looked at me. A small smile crept on her face.
"She has been through so much and i drag her back to russia not having a clue what she must be feeling" Alice faced the window whipping her eyes.
"How about a few more vodkas and we can go back to the hotel ok?" I caught sight of her smile.
"Are you trying to get me drunk Mr. Valkov?" Alice said with mischief tone. Turning to look at me.
"Wait and see" I stood up and winked at her.
