Chapter 9 : Not that fast

(A/N) I got a little carried away while writing this, so do forgive me for the long chapter. Anyway, enjoy!

Before I could explain what I meant by what I said, my phone went off. I annoyedly fished out the square thing out of my pocket only to see it was Rio.

"What?" I said as I answered the call, turning around to face away from the team.

"Sorry, miss. It's about young master."

I furrowed my brow as I got out of the kitchen to call one of my maids. She quickly comes closer to me, standing a few feet away just as I taught them to be.

"What happened with Theodore?" Just by the thought of him, I already feel how I'm slowly getting worked up. I gesture for the maid to grab my coat and one of the car keys, which she immediately does as told.

"The school called me to inform that the young master involved in a fight with some kids." He sounds hesitant to tell me about the news, I know. But he better told me anything he knows before I found out myself. That's if he still wants to see the sun rise tomorrow.

"What the fuck do you mean by fight? How's Theodore?" I pull back my phone to look at the screen. I could almost feel my blood run cold at the thought of my little baby getting hurt. "WHERE THE FUCK IS MY COAT!? GET BACK HERE FAST!" I shout to actually no one in the room. I couldn't think of anything else besides seeing my brother fast.

Hearing my angry shouts, the maid I tasked to get my coat and one of the car keys hurriedly got back to me. She better run and get here fast before I get her myself. She hands me my coat and gives me the key as she keeps saying sorry for being too slow. I only shot her my glare before I turned back around to face the team that was now getting out of the kitchen, looking at me like I'm losing my mind.

How could I not? My baby gets hurt.

I waved my hand off for them, then immediately walked to the garage. "The school said they called for you, but you didn't pick it up."

Once I'm inside the car, I insert the car key and turn on the ignition. I connect the Bluetooth with my phone, then press the pedal and speed down the road. After I'm sure I finally get in line to Theo's school, I move one of my hands to open the phone. I quickly open the called log, and there they are. A bunch of misscalls getting in line.

I think I have to turn off the DND mode in my phone. In my break, I usually turn that on because I don't want my time with my brother getting interrupted. But if this is the case, I have to change that. My little brother is my top priority.

"How's Theodore?" I repeated my question as I turned the corner to get out of the property.

"The principal brought him to his office. He said he'll be waiting for you there with him once I inform you. And for the kids that fight him..." He trailed off, which made me narrow my eyes as I glanced at his name being displayed on the Bluetooth screen.

"They're sent to the hospital." He continues after a moment of silence.

"They sent them to the hospital but not Theo?"

"Yes, miss."

Have I ever taught Theo how to defend himself? Yes. But have I ever taught Theo how to fight? Absolutely no. I don't want him to get involved in this kind of world too early. I'm perfectly able to handle myself. I have Rio and my other men ready for me. I don't need my angel to get involved with this. All he needs to do is just enjoy himself as much as he wants. Living the best life out there.
