Thank you for the reviews people :D

Last time:-

"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 ever I 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.

Chapter 8

An Icy Heart

Within the space of 24 hours I had been angry at Kai twice now, he just couldn't let me live my life how I wanted too, he always expected me to just fall at his becking call. I didn't need him, he hasn't been there the past 8 years and I've been fine. I wanted to punch him so badly. He thinks he's has the right to me just because he acted like he cared for me in the abby.

"You weren't saving me from anything; you were just using me to entertain your self. I was young foolish who fell in love with a heartless boy, I wish I nev…" At that very moment all I could feel was Kai's lips attached to mine. It took me a few seconds to release all the anger and hate I felt towards him, seemed to just slip away.

His lips were warm and soft, but the kiss was firm and demanding. I tried to resist kissing back but my body had other ideas. I wrapped my arms around his neck, placing my hand in his two toned hair. One of his hands slid down my back, the other still on the back of my head, keeping me attached to his lips. His hand stopped on my waist and pulled closer to his chest. It had been a long time since I felt his lips, his body against my own and warm arms wrapped around me. It had been so long since I felt him this close to me, all the feelings I got when I were younger came rushing through me.

After what felt like forever, but only few seconds past it dawned on me, this should not be happening. I let my hands slip out his hair and place them on his chest and pushed him away slightly. He removed himself from my lips; his arm stretched out so his hand still sits on the back of my head. He stared at me with confusion, his amethyst eyes showing his only emotion. I didn't want to see him looking at me like that. "You shouldn't have done that Kai" I said under my breath, turning my head away from his sight.

The elevator stopped and doors opened, I stepped out as fast as I could and headed towards the exit of the building. I could here Kai shouting me, but I just carried on. What Kai just did wasn't fair. Once I left the building i thought id be safe away from him. Until I felt Kai grab hold of my arm and drag me into the ally way next to the building.

"What your problem Kai? Just leave me alone" I shouted, pulling my arm out his grasp. He pushed me up against the wall and slammed both his hands each side on my head, I felt a sudden shiver of fear go down my spine.

"You can't just walk away and expect me to let you leave after what just happened" Kai tone scared me slightly. His eyes full of anger.

"You kissed me, so what? It meant nothing" I didn't want to show him any sort of weakness. That was one vital lesson the abby taught me; Never show weakness.

"If it meant nothing then why did you kiss me back?" his tone still full of anger. I knew he was right, it did mean something, but I'm not going down that road again; know matter how much I want too. "What do you want from me Kai? I went into the house last night, I've signed your stupid contract, isn't that enough? Did you just expect me to fall back into your arms?"

"This isn't a game Cass, this is reality. You have to stop accusing me of shit you understand nothing about. Everything I've done in the past was for you; even now I'm still doing things to protect you. Why can't you see it?" He placed his head inches away from my face.

"I don't need protecting now, I'm not a child Kai I'm 24 years old" I shouted at him. "What is there to be worried about? You promised me no more secrets last night. The only person I need to be protected from right now is YOU" I pushed him away from me so hard, he stumbled back.

I could see the frustration in him, but I didn't care; he's caused me more pain in my life than he knows of and from what I found out last night, I can't just trust him again.

"Forget it" Kai said turning to walk out the ally.

"Do what every the fuck you want Cass, I'm done with you" Kai's words hurt; I felt a pain in my chest appear. I didn't want him to walk away from me now, not after what he just said.

"Kai, Stop" I said, but not loud enough for him to hear. Now he was a walking away, I felt lost. I didn't know what I wanted. I hate him but...

I wasn't used to mine and Kai's fights ending like this. We always used to kiss and make up (that's one way of putting it). I couldn't go after him, not after what we both said. He just makes me so mad sometimes that I want to hurt him so much; just like he hurt me.

I walked out the ally way and called for a cab, I didn't feel like walking to the hotel.

*scene change*

Alice POV

"All the refurbishments have been done to the abby, we want to officially open it up in 8 days, all our old team mates and friends will be arriving in 6 days to be apart of the new campaign. In this time we need to let the press know about Cassia taking her part of the company, her telling her story and why she believes in making a new Biolvolt will be the sign of change for Hiwatari Corporations" Tala said trying to keep his eyes on my face and not to roam to other places.

"Ok that's fine. What about her share of the company? Income, her role, will she have anything to do with the business side of things?"

"She will get her cut of the company, she can access the account at any time she wished, she can also put things through the company; like her car she's wanting. Her role is however she wants to be involved in the company and business wise… if she is travelling with her modelling she can be doing business trips for us at the same time"

"You're giving her an awful lot, but not wanting much back in return?" something didn't seem right.

"Cassia has made it clear she isn't waning to stick around to help with the company. Which to me is fine; me and Kai have done a pretty good job on our own so far. We know what we want to achieve out of the company, Cass is a bonus with the publicity side, not business"

"Don't underestimate her Tala, you'd be surprised the things that girl can do. She makes out like I'm the brains, but she can achieve things other people cannot even dream of having" my tone was firm, I wasn't about to let him think she's an idiot, she's far from it.

"Like I said, Cass can have any part in the business she likes, but me and Kai run things our way around here. She wont be aloud to come and make orders, suggestions yes. It's only Kai that doesn't want her to leave" Tala sat back in the chair folding his arms.

"He doesn't give a lot away does he? I mean you can tell they have history but if you hadn't have told me what happened you'd think they hate each other!"

"They have two choices, ether sort it out or move on. Kai's problem is he's two caught up in work and doesn't have enough fun. Our next problem is Pixie" Tala said pointing towards the door.

"The receptionist?" I sat forward in my seat "what did this have to do with her?"

"Well Kai has been sleeping with her. She has a boyfriend but whenever they fall out she comes running to Kai. And lately she's become a frequent thing. Kai is only interested in getting into her pants but I can't say the same for her"

"That will explain what happened earlier, she was giving death glares to Cass when we arrived" Cassia is going to wet herself when she finds this out.

"Another reason why Cass would be better leaving, Kai wont get rid of Pixie she's two good at her job, another version of you basically" Tala looked at me with a naughty smile on his face. I gave a small smile back and changed the subject back to business.

"I will speak to her about what she wants to do on the business side. If I leave you to set up the interview with the press and I'll sort out her schedule for whatever you need. Be aware that the Moscow Fashion show is in 6 days, and the day before we have rehearsals, other than that were all yours" I gave him a wink.

"We have close contacts with Moscow Times; I'll sort it out with them"

"Err…We did an interview with the Moscow Times yesterday and it did not go down too well… so expect some bad press coming from them about Cassia; I think its out tomorrow"

"What happened?" Tala asked.

"Well the woman was meant to be talking about how her career started with Victoria Secret and about the Moscow Fashion week; but it ended up her making accusations about Cassia at university"

"What did she accuse her of?" Tala smiled, finding this amusing.

"Well she mentioned about Cass being a party girl, taking drugs and failing her exams over a non existent boyfriend. Don't get me wrong we knew how to party and yes we may have done some odd drug 'testing' but nothing serious. Once she started modelling and I was nearly finishing my second year we calmed everything down, our careers became a main priority" Tala started to laugh.

"How did Cass take it?"

"Well… I thought really well, but she did called the woman a 'Miss stuck up her own fucking arse' which will go in that article nicely"

"HA, I've hear Cass doesn't play nice with journalists trying to dig up dirt. I'll speak with them, see if I can get them to re-do the interview and have a full two page spread on everything, that way they get what they originally wanted with more information"

"Good luck telling Cass about that, that's all I've got to say"

Tala got up and came round to sit infront of me on the desk. He sat so close it made me think of what happened last night. His blue eyes looking down at me, following his gaze over my body. I stood and placed my hand out to him.

"It was nice doing business with you Mr. Valkov; I expect a phone call with all the information at hand shortly" I said in my professional voice. Tala took my hand and pulled me forward to him.

"You know you shouldn't wear such a fitted shirt and skirt Miss Heart, it may cause serious problem with our professional relationship" he whispered into my ear while starting to kiss my neck.

I felt like I couldn't move, his lips tenderly kissing and sucking my neck. The moment didn't last long; Kai came through the door with a slam. I sat back up Tala hand still holding mine. I turned to see Kai staring at us; I felt the heat rise in my cheeks.

"Could you do this in your office and not on my desk, I have to work here" Kai came across and sat in his seat. He looked stressed out. I decided that was my queue to leave.

"Let me know when everything is sorted" Tala gave me a nod; I turned to walk through the door. I could feel his eyes watching me as I left.

I liked the attention I got from Tala, it's been a while since iv had fun playing around on the job. From the way Kai came into the room I've got bigger things to be thinking about, Cassia must be a state.

End of Alice POV

General POV

Kai was sitting at his desk, looking at the back of Tala's head in discust.

"Don't look at me like that Kai" Tala said before turning round and sitting in the seat Alice was just in. Kai turned and started typing on the computer, ignoring Tala waiting for him to explain what happened.

"Come on Kai, what's got you so wound up this time?" Tala could feel Kai's anger.

"She's impossible, I'm done with her" Kai stated in a 'not interested tone'. He knew he cared for her but has no idea why, she was a spoilt brat.

"We both know that isn't going to happen, she maybe my sister Kai, but I know you mean the best; so do what ever you need to do. Even though she knows you left to help her she isn't going to just forget all the hurt it caused her; I was there I saw it all, stop being so arrogant and fig…" Kai cut him off.

"I kissed her" it took a few seconds for Tala to speak back.

"Did she kiss you back?"

"Yes at first, but then she basically told me to fuck off" Kai closed his eyes and took a deep breathe.

"Well, you have two choices Kai…" Tala said walking over to the door. "Ether sort it out or get over her, she's apart of the company now. Don't fuck this up" Tala using Kai's own words against him. Kai knew he was right but right now he wanted to be left alone, in his own thoughts.

*scene change*

Alice knocked on Cassia's door and opened it with the spare key card she got from reception. Peeking her head round she saw Cassia sat with a bottle of vodka and a box of tissues. She knew what this meant; it was code red for 'boy trouble'. Cassia peeked around to see Alice with a small smile on her face. Cassia eyes were red and puffy, half the bottle was empty and wet tissues everywhere. Alice walked across and sat next to her putting her arms across her shoulder; Cassia put her head down on Alice and just cried. Alice noticed a box on the table with a book next to it. She has never seen that before.

They didn't speak for about 15mintues, just letting Cassia cry. Alice decided it was time to find out what happened between her and Kai. "Cassia, what happened?" her voice was soft and comforting.

"We were arguing about some stuff and he got in the elevator with me, I told him I regretted everything that happened between us and he kissed me" Cassia said, while trying not to cry anymore. Alice was a little shocked.

"Did you kiss him back?"

"At first but then… I pulled away. Once the elevator stopped I got out as fast as I could but he followed me; pulled me down an ally and pinned me against the wall. He didn't hurt me but I knew he was angry. I wanted him to feel the pain he made me feel all them years ago when he left me. He kept saying he's trying to protect me but I don't need protecting so I just kept telling him to leave me alone, but I don't think I meant it because when he walked away he just told me 'he's done with me'. What does he mean he'd done with me? He can't just kiss me and then leave me" Cassia started crying again.

"Cass, I think he tried to make you see but… your two stuck with what happened in the past; he left you because he had to. Tala told me he got the opportunity to leave and go to Japan and from how that place sounded I don't blame him, its just unfortunate you never found each other in the mean time" Cassia sat up and looked at Alice.

"Is that what Tala told you, he just got the opportunity to leave; nothing else?" Alice looked at Cassia with confusion.

"No, he said he wasn't going to tell you and you caught him packing but that's about it. Why?"

"No reason" Cassia wasn't about to let her friend know what she found out last night, its something she needs to come to terms with fully first.

After a few more minutes of cuddles and tears, Alice sat Cassia up and gave her a smile. "Why don't we go out for dinner somewhere, take the limo and the hit the club? After today I fancy a night out with my girly" Cassia just nodded confirming.

"Right then, you get in that shower and clean your self up. No more crying Mrs ok? Meet at about 7.30 in the bar?" Alice turned and walked towards the door when cassia spoke up.

"Alice… Thank you" Alice gave her a smile and left to her room.

Cassia checked the time, it was 5.45pm. She had plenty of time to get herself ready. Sitting back on the sofa she gazed out the window at the view of the sun slowly setting. She turned and looked at the table where here diary had been laid out. She hadn't actually looked inside it; her gut feeling wouldn't let her, not while she was this upset with Kai. Placing it back in its safe place she left the box on the table.

After showering she dried and tightly curled her hair; putting on more make-up than normal she had foundation and a light powder with a bronze effect with some blusher. For her eyes she applied grey and black eye shadow for a smokey effect, some black eyeliner along the top and lightly grazed along the bottom; last but not least black massacre, she liked the full volume look, to bring out the icy look in her eyes. She went across to her wardrobe to pick what to wear; she found her black wet look riding leggings and a cream netted long sleeve shirt, along with her cream glitter heels. Applying her last bit of pink lip-gloss she heard a bang on the door. She assumed it was Alice, but Alice has her own card.

"One minute" she shouted. Another loud bang came from the door; you could tell more force was applied than the last. Cassia turned and rolled her eyes.

"Ok I'm coming, Alice is that's you; I thought we were meeting dow…" Cassia opened the door to see Kai standing there. Kai gazed over her. No one said anything for a few seconds. Cassia tried to catch her breath, she couldn't believe Kai was here, of all the times for him to turn up he has to do it now, just before she was due to go out.

"Kai… what are you doing here?" Cassia broke the silence. Her tone surprised.

"Can I come in?" Kai said softly.

Cassia moved out the way of the door to let him come through. After closing the door, Kai was over near the sofa leaning on the back of it, facing her. "I'm just about to head out" she said in a low tone.

"I can see; you look really nice Cass" Kai had his hands in his pocket, like he was closing himself off.

"Thank you, you look smart yourself" Kai was wearing a navy blue shirt with black smart jeans and his leather jacket, complimented by his scarf.

"Where are you off to?" Kai said, not taking his eyes off her.

"Me and Alice are going for some dinner and then hitting the clubs… Why are you here Kai?" Cassia couldn't wait any longer; she had to know why he turned up all smartly dressed like he was ready for a date.

"I came to make sure you were ok"

"I thought you were 'done with me' as you put it" Cassia put her hand on her hips, with her sarcastic comment. It triggered something in Kai. He stepped forward to her, eyes blazing into hers. "Why are you such a bitch Cass? I come here to make sure your ok and all I get is some sarcastic remark" Cassia couldn't believe he just called her a bitch.

"Kai I don't want to argue with you"

"Then why say that Cass?"

"Because that's what you said Kai, and then just walked away from me" Cassia trying to fight back the tears.

"And you didn't say some things to me? If I hadn't walked away Cass I'd have punched a hole through the wall. Your so stubborn sometimes, even when we were kids you wasn't this stubborn. I'm trying here"

"Look I'm sorry ok; is that what you want to hear? I'm sorry, everything I said to you I didn't mean ok" Cassia turned her head the other way to quickly wipe her eyes before her make-up got ruined.

She felt Kai come beside her and wrapping his arms around her shoulders hugging her back. "I shouldn't have kissed you, I'm sorry for that" Kai whispered in her ear. In some ways Cassia felt her heart shatter at his regret, but her head knew he shouldn't have put her in that situation and he knows that.

"But you have to understand, while your in Russia Cass anything me and Tala do is to protect you from anything we can, ok?" Cassia turned around to face Kai, his eyes told her he meant what he was saying. Even though Cassia didn't see what she needed protecting from as he promised her nothing was else was there to be told but she had a gut feeling there was something else. She just nodded and stepped back. Kai couldn't take his eyes off her. He'd never seen her with make-up on all ready to go out before; she's turned into a beautiful woman, but he always knew she would.

Cassia glanced at the time she saw 7.55pm; she was late meeting Alice. Kai caught her glance at it. "I've got to go Kai, I was meant to meet Alice at half past"

"Don't worry she's with Tala, where going to take you girl out tonight" Cassia knew then Tala put Kai up to this, even thought she hadn't seen the boys in so long, she knew them both inside out.

"Let me grab my jacket" Cassia smiled. She felt happy to be going out with Kai, they get to spend some time together but not arguing about there past or what's happened the in the last few days.

Kai looked around the room to see Cassia box on the table with it unlocked. He knew shed been crying, he could see it in her eyes. He turned his gaze back to her putting on her black leather jacket with studs alone the shoulder line. Catching each others glance they headed towards the door.

*scene change*

Alice POV

"I cannot believe I've agreed to letting you and Kai take us out, it was meant to be a girly night ya'know" I said sipping my wine.

"Well, if were going to get them to back on good terms might as well get them drunk while doing it"

"You are so bad Tala, if I get in trouble for this its you who's going to pay"

Tala gave me a wink "I look forward to it"

"Urgh…What have I got myself into…" Putting my face into my hands. Tala leaned over to my ear and moved my hair of the way.

"Il show you later" He said while kissing the same spot on my neck he had earlier that day.

In the corner of my eye I saw Kai and Cassia enter the room, they both had a smile on there face. I turned to look at Tala who gave me a reassuring look. Ether tonight was going to be great or a complete disaster.

DONE YAY :D
