I DO NOT OWN BEYBLADE, ONLY MY OC'S
Last time:-
"You promise their isn't anything else I need to know about Kai?" I could hear the concern in her voice.
I didn't want to lie to her but, what choice do I have. It is not worth the hurt it will cause her.
"I promis Cass" I squeezed her tighter, not wanting her to see my lie. Within minutes she was sleeping.
I felt relaxed knowing she was back in my arms. Closing my eyes it didn't take much longer for me to fall asleep beside her.
Chapter 7
Playing Games
"Cass..."
"Cassia, wake up" I heard a voice. Opening my eyes I saw Alice stood over me, smiling.
Lifting myself onto my elbows, realising I'm still on the sofa. "What time is it?" My voice cracking.
"It's half 9. You look like shit babe" Alice said laughing.
"Hn" sitting myself up slowly, the room was spinning slightly. Alice walked across to the kitchen, putting the kettle on. My head was banging, I'd hardly had any sleep and Kai wasn't here ether.
Getting up I walked to the bathroom, putting the shower on. The warm water was refreshing on my cold skin. Iv been in Russia 3 days now and already so much has happened. Rinsing off the shampoo and body wash, I turned off the shower, wrapped my towel around my body and headed to get changed.
After about 15minutes I was dressed and make-up done; My hair still damp, leaving it to curl naturally. I decided to wear some grey skinny jeans, a blue fitted top with 'ice' wrote across the chest area.
Heading back to the main room Alice was on her iPad looking at the pictures from my photo shoot; They looked great. Something that never seems to disappoint me is my modelling.
"What's the plan for today?" I asked Alice.
"Well we have a free day, so I thought breakfast, then go pick up your Moscow fashion show schedule, then to see your charity. Have you thought anymore about your bother and Kai's offer?" I closed my eyes. Remembering last night I told Kai I would do it.
"Yes, I am going to consider it. We should head over later on to go over all the details and contracts" Alice gave me a surprised look.
"What's made you change your mind?" With a big sigh I thought about telling her.
"Kai came to see me last night, we spoke about some stuff and I agreed to do it on certain terms" Alice raised her eyebrows.
"And they are?
"I become a known share holder for my part of the company. If people do believe that the company has changed I want a part init. I know il have to give my story but it will be worth it in the end result, plus I bribed a car out of him" I gave her a wink.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to come up with a compromise. I think your doing the right thing though Cass, you only need to tell the press what you want them to know" Alice gave a big smile. I knew she would give me the support I needed. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for Alice, she was the brains and I am the face.
"Let's go get some breakfast and head out" I said while heading towards my room to get my coat. Deciding on my leather jacket. Once I had my scarf and put on my Uggs I was ready. I grabbed my phone noticing I had a message, it was from Kai.
'Morning, come over to the company later about 2, we can sort out the contracts for the deal. Kai'
It made me smile, typical Kai straight to the point. Putting the phone in my handbag I heard Alice shouting me to hurry up.
End of Cassia POV
Kai POV
Sitting at my desk, paper work to sort out. I feel frustrated and tired, iv already had 5 coffees and its only 10:30.
Last night was one big mess, no help from Tala. Work is not the place I want to be right now. Tala has taken over my morning meeting so I can amended the contract for Cassia. Having her as part of the company will give us the publicity we need to finally get Hiwatari Corporation back to the top. I just have a feeling she's not going to be as easy to work round now.
Sitting back in my chair, I took a deep breathe and checked over the security camera to see Tala back from his meetin. "Pixie, tell Tala to come to my office" I said over the intercom.
Not long after Tala came through the door. He didn't say anything just sat on a chair in front of me. "We need to go over the agreements for Cassia joining the buisness" I said looking at him.
"She's accepted our offer?" Tala voice seemed shocked.
"Yes, no thanks to you. She also wants her share of the company, well that is if she doesn't go over the rails because you slept with her manager and best friend" Tala's eyes went wide, confused.
"I saw your truck in the hotel car park, you really know how to fuck things up Tala" my voice was stern.
"Hold on Kai! First I didn't know you was taking her to the house. Second them files are not something that can just be thrown away, you know that. Third I went to talk to Alice, we went out for some drinks and I explained a little about our past because its obvious Cassia never told her and I thought she would be able to convince her to accept the offer" Tala was frustrated.
"So you didn't fuck her then?" Tala sat back a little. A smirk appeared on his face.
"Do you know who Alice is Kai. She's the daughter of Stephen Heart" Tala trying to convince himself it was ok.
"That makes it ok for you to screw her, I thought a girl like that would have more self respect" crossing my arms.
"Listen Kai, what I do in my private life should not be your concern. This wont effect the deal with Cass, so stop your fucking moaning. You didn't see me lecturing you when you took it upon your self to fuck my sister, when you knew the constituencies of it... Anyways, what did you do to convince her about the files she found?" Tala folded his arms and sat back into the chair.
"The files are no concern anymore, I burnt them and I told her the truth of why I left. But I've also had to lie to her about the other stuff. You didn't tell Alice did you?" Information as deep as this is not something I want being shared around.
"I'm not an idiot Kai, no I haven't and I won't ether. It isn't me that should be worried about fucking up, I'm only her brother she will always forgive me but you, you mess up and break her heart we have fucked it" Tala said while getting up and walking to the door.
"Hn" I folded my arms and smirked at him.
"We both know that our pasts are going to get in the way somehow, it's up too you to keep her sweet Kai. She won't stay around, not even for you" his words hurt a little.
"She will be here at 2 to sign the contract, make sure your here" just before Tala left the room I shouted to him "Oh and Tala?" He turned back to look at me "keep it clean, will you" Tala nodded and walked out the room.
'She won't stay around, not even for you' what's he getting at.
End of Kai POV
Cassia POV
It felt good to go see my charity, all the kids were smiling and happy, that's what kids should be like. Knowing my money helps them keep a smile on there face is enough for me.
"Hey Alice, you fancy a bit of lunch before we head over to sort the contracts out?"
"Sure, don't see why not" Alice gave a smile.
"Come on I know the perfect cafe, it's not far from here"
It was about 15minutes walk, the air was fresh and crisp. For the first time I felt happy to be back in Moscow. So many bad things happened here and now I'm finally going to make them memories disappear.
Alice seemed a little quiet today, I could tell she had a late night plus a hangover she tried denying."Here is it, I can't believe its still open. My mum used to bring me here for ice-cream when I was a kid, they do the best chocolate cake ever" I turned and saw Alice face go white over. "Are you ok Alice?"
"Yes, course I am" she gave me a fake smile. I hooked my arms around hers and pulled her through the door. Finding a seat, I took my coat and scarf off and grabbed a menu. It was all in Russian. I hadn't read Russian in so long. It wasn't as hard as I thought to remember it.
"Can you read this?" Alice said.
"Course I can, you want a sandwich and cake lunch platter for us to share?" I said smiling.
"This place reminds me of my mother, she used to buy my fathers vodka from here, she always said it was the best around" Alice just nodded at me. After a few minutes the younger waitress came across to take our order of drinks and food.
An older waitress came across with our drinks. I caught her looking at Alice. "Your friend left this" the russian lady said to Alice.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean" Alice said. I just gave Alice a confused look.
"You was here with red headed boy last night yes, he left this" she handed what looked like a credit card over to Alice.
Alice face was a picture. "Red headed boy? Alice what the hell" it finally clicked. Alice head was facing down, avoiding eye contact.
"Was you here last night with Tala?" I saw her flinch a little.
"Cass I'm sorry, he came to the hotel and we spoke about the contract. We ended up coming here for some drinks... I'm sorry" there was panic in her voice.
"Ha, that sounds like Tala to me. Surprise, surprise he got you drunk, slimy bastard" I had a laughing tone in my voice. "Your not mad at me?" Alice had relief in her voice.
"No Alice, your a big girl you go out with who you want. Along as it doesn't effect your work" I smiled at her. Her face seemed to brighten up after that, I could see the relief.
"So what did he have to say then, about the contract that is?" I asked breaking few minutes of silence.
"We'll to be honest not much really, he knew who I was, but he did tell me some stuff about your past Cass" her tone of voice went soft.
I looked up at her, she had pain in her eyes, I knew she felt sorry for me. "Tala should not have said anything to you about my life, that wasn't his place. Don't feel sorry for me Alice" my voice was stern.
"I'm sorry Cass, you have been through so much, I..." I cut her off. "This is why I don't tell people who I really am and where I come from. I don't want your sympathy Alice. That is not my life, I've work hard to become the person I am now, don't take that away by pitying me"
Alice placed her hand on mine and smiled. "He said you would say that"
"Tala knows better than to cross me, I used to beat him all the time, when we was kids" I said in a playful voice. Our food arrived, different variety of sandwiches and cakes.
"So you and Kai?" Alice asked in a 'give me the goss' tone. I raised my eyebrows up at her. "What about it?" I thought playing dumb would be a safe option.
"Come on Cass, you guys have so much history, you can't act like its nothing" Alice crossed her arms like a child.
"There is nothing to tell Alice, he isn't the person I thought he was when we were kids"
"We'll from what Tala said it sounded like he loved you"
"Hn, Kai does not know how to love Alice, its not in his nature" I continued eating my lunch. I was not about to give her the information to something I'm not even certain of myself. I used to love Kai but I don't believe he ever loved me. Wanting to change the subject, I turned and looked at her. "So... Did you sleep with Tala then"
Alice spat her coffee she just drank all over herself. I smiled and frowned at her. "That's a yes then. Tut tut Alicia Heart, I never thought you would have fell for that trick" I said while waving a finger at her.
"It wasn't like that, he didn't try it on it just... Happened. Do we have to talk about this please your his sister" Alice face red as a beetroot.
"Ok I'm sorry but Alice, the last time I checked Tala isn't the genuine type" I was concerned, I know how Alice can get attached, I've been the shoulder to cry on many of times before.
"Cass, it's fine I get it, I'm not looking for a happy ever after" giving me a reassuring smile. "Anyways if your joining the company, what you going to do about continuing the modelling?"
"Still do it" I gave her a confused look. "I'm not staying in Moscow if that's what you mean. Im just claiming what I deserve, and with my name on the company who knows what opportunities will come our way. Anyways Kai and Tala can deal with business side, I've worked hard/ we have worked hard to get where we are. I'm not giving it up for anyone"
"Not even for Kai?" Alice gave me a smile while taking a sip of her coffee.
"Hn, not even for Kai" folding my arms.
"I hope you know what your doing Cass, I don't think for one minute he will let you go as easy as you think" Alice had a seriousness look on her face.
"Alice, you seriously don't know what your talking about. Tala may have told you the facts, but I know Kai"
End of Cassia POV
Normal POV
Kai looked at his watch, 1.55pm. He turned on he CCTV screen to see Alice and Cassia walking through the lobby towards to elevator.
Getting up from his seat and exiting the room, he went across to Tala office. "There here" Kai said. Tala gave Kai a nod as he was finishing his phone call. Kai left the room and went over to Pixie.
"You can leave for your dinner" Kai said giving her a weak smile.
"But I've already had my lunch hour" Pixie explained in a confused tone.
"Then take another" Kai went into his pocket and got out his wallet. Taking out a 50 note. "That should cover your lunch and hourly rate" Kai handing it to Pixie.
Pixie still with a confused look on her face, until the elevator door opened up. Cassia and Alice walked through. Pixie gave Kai a stern look, she grabbed her coat and headed towards the elevator. Cassia noticed the blonde receptionist walk by and was giving her an evil look. Once the elevator door was closed Cassia turned to Alice.
"Whats her problem" Cassia said. Alice shrugged while examining the room.
"Welcome back lady's" they heard a voice coming from behind them. Tala came out his office greeting them. Cassia just kept her eyes on Kai. Her heart fluttered, he was wearing black formal trousers with a long sleeve grey shirt, which framed his musclier body perfectly.
"The contracts are in my office" Kai said, catching Cassia smile at him. He headed towards his office door with Cassia, Alice and Tala all following suit.
Kai sat behind his desk, Cassia and Alice sat opposite on some chairs and Tala placed himself in the corner on the sofa. Kai placed the contract in front of Cassia. "Did you make the changes?" Cassia asked, still there eyes not leaving each others.
Alice started to read the contract through. "All amendments were made, you are agreeing to be apart of the Biovolt organisation, you get your share of the company and I've also put the contract at the back to state you are claiming the house".
"And my car?" Cassia said with a smile.
"You can go pick any car you like, and put it on the company" Kai crossed is arms, giving her a glare.
Alice finished reading everything through. "What's the case with the company, Cassia cannot stay here in Russia and run the company with you, she has her own work to do"
Kai uncrossed his arms and sat forward "You want the company but your not going to run it with us?" Cassia was surprised at his confusion.
"No, I know nothing of this company or what you do, all I know is that your doing a good job in trying to make it better and with my name being thier the opportunities are endless"
"Hn, it's ok then you take credit for our hard work" Kai grunted while closing his eyes and crossing his arms. Cassia started to get frustrated with him. 'Whats his problem, how can he except me to stay in Russia' She thought.
"Don't give me that Kai, I know what both you and Tala are trying to do. I'm not a stranger to these game. Wanting me to be apart of the Biovolt thing and wanting me to get to grips with my past and forgive both of you for everything that happened. I want my share of the company, you can use my name but I am not giving up my modelling for this. If you don't like this deal then I'm afraid the whole thing is off" Cassia stood and headed to the door, frustration was eating at her. Tala got off the sofa and put a hand on her shoulder to stop her.
"Come on Cass, don't be like this, we..." Cassia cut him off, while shoving him back. "Don't give me that bull shit Tala, I know your game better than anyone, cuddling up and sleeping with Alice, telling her our past to make her try and convince me that this was the best thing for to do. The truth is I don't give a shit about ether of you, I've gone 8 years without you both. Its you guys who need me more than I need you right now. You want me so bad then you agree to my conditions or I'm out" Cassia stood hands on her hips, eyes firm on Tala.
Kai eyes turned wide at Cassia's harsh comments. He stood from his chair and slammed his hands on his desk. Alice jumped from the noise at the back of her. "Just sign the dam contract Cassia, once we have the abby situation sorted out you can do and go as you please, until then yes we need your help"
Cassia was shocked from Kai's outburst, she walked across to her desk and picked up the pen and signed all the papers. Alice and Tala sat in silence watching the two have staring competition with each other.
"Now give me the keys to that house, so I can go burn it down" Cassia spat at Kai with a vicious tone. Kai took the keys out his draw and threw them at her.
"Alice will sort anything else out you need, I'm leaving" Cassia spat opening the door and slamming it shut. Alice and Tala sat shocked.
"Tala sort the rest of the stuff out with Alice" Kai said while following suit of Cassia.
Alice looked over at Tala with a small smile on her face. "I guess it's just you and me doing work around here then" Alice said in a flirting manor. Tala walk across siting in Kai's chair with a smile on his face.
"You told Cass about last night then?"
"No, the waitress from last night at the cafe gave me your credit card you seemed to have LEFT. And she put two and two together" Alice stated while pulling out the credit card.
"Shit, I didn't even realise" Tala said taking it from her. Both of them kept eye contact at all times.
"Are we going to work or just keep flirting?" Alice stated crossing her legs to show her slim figure. Talas eyes scrolled over her body with a blush on his cheeks.
*scene change*
Kai POV
'That stupid girl', she always knew how to rile me. I could see her waiting for the elevator.
"Go away Kai" she said.
"What's your fucking problem Cass?" My tone was firm. She turned round, our faces inches away from each other.
"What my problem, oh I'm sorry I don't like being used anymore for someone else pleasure" she pushed me away.
"We are not using you Cass, so get that thought out of your thick head. You act like you don't need us but the truth is you do need us just as much as we do you"
"I will NEVER need you Kai, not for anything. I'm just taking what is rightfully mine, that's all" Cassia words made me angry.
The elevator doors started to open, she stepped in and pressed the button to go down. I stopped the doors with my hand. "What the fuck are you doing, let me leave Kai, it was easy enough for you before" Cassia said using the past against me.
"You need to get your head out your arse Cassia and start listening" My voice was harsh, our eyes never left each others. I walked into the elevator waiting for it to go down. Once a few floors down I pressed the emergency stop button. It came to a sudden halt which made Cassia fall.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" She screamed at me
"What did you mean you never needed me?" I felt so angry. I saw her eyes widen at the question.
"Hit a sore spot did I?" She stood up, wiping her clothes off. "Why would I ever need YOU, Iv done better without you" Cassia spat back at me, pressing the Go button and crossing her arms.
"You wasn't saying that when we lived in the abby and I was saving you from killing yourself" my bloody was boiling.
"You wasn't saving me from anything, you was using me to entertain your self. I was young and fooling who fell in love with a heartless boy, I wish I nev..."
I couldn't take anymore of this, I grabbed hold of her head and pushed her against my lips.
I know its not as long as the normal ones
