Matthew POV
"Cat!" Matthew shouted, quickening his pace as she walked away from him.
He began running, the moment he was close enough, he reached out his hand and grasped her arm, yanking her to a hult and spinning her to face him.
"What the hell are you doing here?" He gasped, a bit out of breath from running.
At first her expression was unreadable, her face unmoved by his presents or his words.
Matthew raised a confused brow, straightening his form which now towered over her's. A slow smile crept onto her face making him narrow his eyes.
She stepped forward, raising her hand and placing it on his chest.
"I wanted to see you." She whispered seductively while fluttering her long eyelashes at him.
Matthew's eyes narrowed even more, taking a step back from her making her hands drop back to her side. His jaw tightened as his actions made her smile grow even more. What the hell?!
"Answer my fucking question. What the hell are you doing here!?" Matthew growled. His voice dropping dangerously low.
Cat looked at him, unfazed by him threatening voice. " I wanted to see how you were doing?"
'How I am? How I am!'

Hailey POV
Hailey's eyes darted around the room, silently pleading to everyone and anyone to help her. Could they not see what was really happening? Pain washed over her face as Syler tightened his grip on her as if he could hear her thoughts.
"Don't think about it." He warned as his eyes narrowed at her.
She bit her lips so that she did not let out a painful gasp. Where was Matthew?
Closing her eyes and allowing her body to be controlled by this vile man through the dance floor she silently prayed that Matthew would come back to her soon...

Matthew POV
This woman was giving him a headache. After so many years and after so much money she has stolen from him, she now finally wanted to know how he was?
"Listen to me Cat, and listen to me well..." His voice dropped barbarously low as he advanced towards her. "You have five second to get out of my sight and never be heard or seen again or else..."
"Or else what Mat?" She advanced towards him as well, not at all disturbed by him.
Matthew looked at her stunned for a second before he finally realized that she only cared about one thing and one thing alone. "Or else... that pretty little life you have built for yourself will be broken down and lit afire before your eyes. "
Cat's face went blank, as her eyes suddenly darted away. Matthew smiled inwardly. He had her. "And you know that little secret you kept all these years....well lets just say it would not be for long." He continued. He knew his treats were baseless but she didn't know that...
After a few second, she finally spoke. "What do you what Mat?"
This time, he showed his smile. "You have not been listening Cat. I want you to leave. "
Cat nod. Taking a step back, spinning on her heels and beginning to walk away.
Matthew did the same but stopped when he heard her call after him. Looking over his shoulder at her, he waited for her to say what she wanted.
"I did love you Mat. "
This caused him to turn completely to face her. Walking up to her, he raised his hand to her cheeks, causing her to look at him.
"You never did Cat. If you did... you would not have killed our baby...." Matthew confessed. Looking her directly in the eye when he said that.
CAt's eyes went into orbs. "Mat..." She started but he shook his head silencing her.
"Cat for all that it's worth, for a while I really did see a future with you, but I am grateful for all the lessons you taught me.... You were a good person... maybe still is. Stop all what you are doing and be better. YOu know if you really needed help, you just needed to ask. I would have never turned you down...."
"And that is why you would continue having enemies Mat. " Cat looked at him saddly. "Take care of yourself Mat." She backed away from him and his warm hands. Walking away from him and his life.
"Cat!" He called after her. "I did love you too." A slow smile appeared on her face as she nod and continued to walk away. For some reason, Matthew felt like this was the Cat he once knew....
Making his way back to the dance floor, he could not help but to allow the smile that played on his face. For so many years he had hated CAt, and had imagined their first conversation after so long to be anything but uplifting but he was happy everything happened the way it did. He now was beginning to love someone else. It was about time he put his past where it belonged.
His thoughts stopped abruptly as his eyes narrowed on that every woman in the arms of Syler. At first he was happy that they were getting along but as she spun and twirled in his arms, he could not stop himself from noticing her face. It held so much pain and fright. His body froze.
His eyes drifted to her waist where Syler was gripping her. He was hurting her? Why?! Before he could allow himself to think of an explanation, he stormed towards them, grasping her arm and pulling her into his as he used his other hand to push Syler away.
"What the fuck do you think you are doing!"
