My Mafia King (BxB) {Book 6}

Chapter 2

Hayden?!

"Well, what a nice surprise?"

I hope he doesn't recognize me! I hope that sentence only means he was surprised that someone was there to witness this nightmare.

"Nice to see you again, Ricky."

Dang it!

"Hayden." I said coldly, giving him a glare.

"No need to fret. I wouldn't hurt my classmates." Hayden says with a snear.

He faces down at my level, grabbing my chin, I wanted to pull away but was afraid of any actions that he might do, like chopping off my fingers.

So I stayed up waiting for him to say something, but he only gazing at my face, he finally says, "Hm, seems that you've gotten prettier after all those years."

What?

"Stop joking. Clearly, I'm a man." I pushed his hand away from my face, "Now let me go. I've got other things to do."

My phone rang at the right time, "Speaking of which," I picked it up, "Hello? Piper, yeah. I'm on my way, just some things to deal with at the bar. Just stay inside until I get there, okay? Okay, bye." I hung up, "See, I've got things to do."

Hayden grins, "Fine, I'll let you off today, but. . . I'll find you soon. Just friends catching up with each other, right?"

He gestured at his men to release me. I went to my car and drove off to the ballet academy, Piper and Andrew's mom was a ballet teacher, Piper also does ballet, clearly she gets it from her mom, she enjoys it. So she wanted to inherit the position once her mom retires, which is from a few years from now.

She's getting prepared to take the role, so she's been practicing all the challenging moves she needed to know.

As for Piper and I? We aren't like that, we're just really close friends, we've been friends since I helped her, Hayden was the trouble.

Besides, she already has a boyfriend, they've been dating since Junior year of high school. Sometimes I pick her up from recitals because her boyfriend is an intern, sometimes we all go out to eat together.

Her boyfriend and I are actually friends, so we're also close.

Being an intern sure isn't easy, it's like you're pushed around a lot, that's what my friends said.

Meanwhile, I haven't experienced it yet, because I'm from a different major where we have more than 4 years to graduate.

I showed up at the location, Piper was waiting inside, you can tell by looking through the glass of the lobby.

She waves and comes out, "What took you so long?"

"Sorry, I got held up."

"It's fine. I didn't wait that long."

"Okay, do you have anywhere to eat in mind or do you just want to go home?"

~ ~ ~

After eating out, I dropped Piper off at her apartment, she lives with her boyfriend.

Then I went back to my dorm, I got ready for bed and fell asleep.

~Thursday~

The sun was shining on my eyelids, I peaked through then closed my eyes again.

Wait!

Why is the sun shining?

I quickly sat up, I looked at my clock, it was 8:43 am.

"Shi-"

*Honk!* my car horn goes as I was swearing, I got stuck in traffic.

I'm about to be late! No! I'm already late!

I forgot to charge my phone last night.

"Argghh! Professor is going to kill me!" I hit my head with my wheel.

~ ~ ~

When I came to the classroom, everyone had their eyes on me, as in I was interrupting the lesson.

"I'm sorry, professor Callum."

"Mr. Young, you should know that I don't tolerate late entries. Please be on time."

"Sorry sir, it won't happen again."

"Good, now take a seat."

I went over to an empty seat next to my friends, Jason and Max, Max asks me, "Where have you been? You basically missed half of the class lessons."

"My phone alarm didn't go off, I forgot to charge it last night." I explained to them.

"Good thing the professor let you off easily or else you may be stuck with him after school." Jason warned.

His sentence reminds me of what Hayden said last night, "Fine, I'll let you off today. But. . . I'll find you soon. Just friends catching up with each other, right?"

Shivers go up my spine, I'm getting goosebumps.

What creeped me out more was the fact that someone I knew, someone I went to school with actually got someone's finger chopped off! And it could be worse, murder.

He can find me. He will find me!

I know Hayden has the power to do so, what's sad is that there's no limits, I'm too weak, comparing to him. I only have 50 dollars in my pocket. What could he want from me?

I shook my head out of my thoughts, only wanting to focus on jotting down notes.
