Bad vs Bad

Chapter 16

Cayden's p.o.v

She fucking jumped off the second floor! She's fucking damn CRAZY!!!

I ran forward and caught her.

"You crazy idiot"

"I knew you'd catch me" she said like it was nothing.

"Come on, we've gotta go now" We began running towards our cars.

We jumped into our cars and speed off. I got an incoming call from Valeska and putted her up on the phone built in the car.

"Yeah?"

"We do not go back to your house, he'll follow us, look in your rear mirror, he's in a yellow Lamborghini, not so hard to spot"

I looked in my rear mirror and saw a yellow Lamborghini, it must be Ziko.

"Where are we going then?"

"Just follow me" she said and cut the call.

Where on earth are we going? I followed her in a racing speed as the landscape outside my window changed from the mordant city to older, dark allies, with people standing along the streets watching the expensive cars racing past. We are absolutely in the bad parts of Miami.

Valeska called me again.

"Yup"

"I have called Boulder and his buddies and don't worry they are my buddies too, they'll help us, they don't have the guts to defy me, the all mighty Nikolajev"

"Okay, the all mighty Nikolajev" I said jokingly and I heard a dry chuckle before she cut the call.

She drove into a big garage and I followed her. She stepped out of her car and I did the same, walking over to her.

"Boulder, close it up, and do it fucking quick!" she ordered and a guy pushed a button that made the garage port close up.

"Won't he just drive right through?" some guy asked.

He looked at Valeska in a way that I absolutely hated, he looked at her with lust and no one is allowed to look at her like that except for me. I wrapped my arms around her waist and nuzzled down my face in the crook of her neck, placing a small kiss there.

"Cayden" she whispered and I hummed in response as she putted her hands over mine.

"Those ports are made of an incredibly strong material, even if he came in 340 km/h he would only make a slight dent" she said confident.

The guy was still looking at her like he was going to fuck her on the spot and I shot him a death glare and by that he stopped staring.

"Are you sure your body can take this?" I whispered to her.

"Yeah"

"And next time you want to get something I'm going with you even if you say I can't"

"You're hopeless" she said and shook her head.

Yeah, hopelessly falling for you. And I hope you do too, Princess.

Valeska's p.o.v

"Hey, Boulder, where's Martino" I ordered Boulder.

I know that when I'm in this position of situation, no one, and I mean no one, can pull me down, for the moment so am I on the top of the world.

"In his office" he said and bowed his head a little.

People are scared of me when I am like this even the dead are terrified.

I nodded and began walking towards his office with Cayden behind me. I turned around to face him and realized he was very close, if I wouldn't have been in this state I would probably pushed him away, but now I stand tall and face him.

"I need you talk to him, alone" I said cold, staring through his soul.

"Are you sure you are okay?"

"I am fine" I gritted out.

"If you say so" he said not caring about my behavior and kissed my forehead before walking back to the others.

I opened the door without knocking and marched right in.

"What the fu-"

He cut himself off his own sentence as he saw me.

"Lightning" he said neutrally, stood up and bowed his head before sitting down again.

"I have a problem"

"Of course, anything for you Miss"

"I'm going to the east coast for some time, no specified length of time, but I want you and your guys to keep Thunder off our back" I said as I stood in front of him with my arms crossed over my chest.

"Of course, your wish is our law and we are at your feet. Who are going with you, Miss? So we don't get people off your back who isn't supposed to get off your back"

"Cayden Young, Simon Jones, Hunter Black and Dominic Griffin"

"Understood" said Martino as I was about to leave the room.

"By the way, when does the outtake to champions duel begin?"

"Tonight" he sighed.

I walked out in the common room in the gigantic building.

You see, this isn't just an old building, maybe it looks like it from the outside but inside Martino has his folks where he is the boss when I'm not around. When I'm around, and in state of mind, everybody is at my feet. In this building we have a huge garage with cars and even some helicopters, a large common room where we hang, fighting arenas, weapon rooms, bunkers, a training center and in the underground we have the largest official illegal fighting arena.

I entered the common room and everybody's eyes snapped towards me.

"Cayden" I said and locked my now almost black eyes with his green ones.

"Follow me" I said and gestured for him to follow me as I began walking for the elevator, waiting for him to catch up.

"What did you guys talk about" he asked curios as he had caught up with me.

"That's none of your business, Young" I said coldly.

He seemed startled when I called him Young instead of Cayden.

We stepped into the elevator and I pushed the button for the training center.

"You haven't been yourself since we came here" he said worried as we stepped out of the elevator.

"It has to do with the situation and when I am here everybody obeys me and no one dares defy me" I said as I walked towards my private changing room.

I closed the door behind me and began changing into my training clothes, feeling a slight ache in my whole body. I bit the inside of my cheek and ignored the pain as I walked out of my changing room.

"What are you doing?" he asked me questioning.

"I'm having a fight tonight" I said as I shrugged my shoulders and walked over to the boxing sack.

"You are not having a fight tonight, you could get even more hurt than you already are" he said and took hold of my shoulders making me look at him.

"I, am having a fight tonight and nothing, and I mean NOTHING can stop me"

"This is my only ticket away from this life" I said looking serious into his eyes.

"But you don't have to do this" he said and placed his hand on my cheek, stroking it with his thumb.

"It's the thing, you don't understand, without a champion duel win, I can never leave this life"
