Chereads / When Sparks Fly (Us#1) / Chapter 17 - 8. "The thing is....."

Chapter 17 - 8. "The thing is....."

I woke up by the silver rays of the glistening white moon...I sat up alarmed on the bed. Mattheo wasn't here, but someone was talking and it didn't sound like him. I slowly stood up, and went towards the door .....there was Mattheo, lying on the floor...was he?

I rushed out of the door straight to him, first checking his pulse and then his breathing....he was breathing and his heart was beating. I didn't turn around to see the people until the girl poked her heels in my waist and tried to turn me around. I had learned self-defense from my brother and thought to use it then. The girl had wavy red hair and wore a skin-tight black dress, the man behind her was in a tux and his hands were bloody.

I threw the girl down to the floor and kept her pinned on until the man also attacked. He came from behind me and tried to get me off her. But I punched him hard in the face and he fell back...then I took the gun from the girl's hand, she tried to snatch it back when I hit her hard with the gun and bruised her wrist. That's when I stood up and turned to see Mattheo looking at me with a smirk and he said "I am sorry for the injuries Mr. and Mrs. Kyle. You can go to the doc downstairs...."

I was very confused, that's an understatement, to be honest. I stood there blankly when I saw him approaching me. There was a bit of blood on my right hand's knuckles and I was sweating hard yeah my hair was a mess since a few minutes ago i just woke up.

He lifted me up and asked me to place my head on his shoulders as he carried me to the bathroom.

"That my love, was to test your defense skill in case needed and they volunteered, they are also my personal bodyguards and a married couple." he explained on the way.

He took off my clothes, and a bubble bath was ready, I tried to ask him on our way here but he shushed me every time. He laid me in the bathtub and I covered myself with a bubble ....it was no use though for he had already seen me ...once. He arranged another outfit for me, kept it on the counter, and left. I wanted him to stay but he was *busy*doing god knows what.

The outfit he kept for me was cute and comfy, but I am sure he took a girl's help in picking it up.

Now the question is who it was?...I was going to properly put him in the hot seat today for I need answers. I went out to the living room and saw Mattheo , Lux , Tay Tay , Al and Ben talking. A soon as Tay and Lux saw me , they rushed over and hugged me...I mean....suffocated me (nearly).

Lux said "Thank god you are safe babe..."

"Only I can call her babe Luxory .....you can't...so stop you know" my over-protective *friend* Mattheo said.

"Sure " Lux replied with a smirk.

" How are you ?...." Tay asked.

"I am fine ..." I answer calmly but they all were giving me the looks some were filled with worry and love and some were as if I am hurt and lying...suddenly i don't know why I shouted at them..

"WHY THE HELL ISN'T ANYONE TELLING ME WHAT'S HAPPENING ...FIRST THEO CANCELS OUR DAY OUT AND LIKE A MYSTERY MOVIE CALLS ME HERE AT A VERY STRANGE MOMENT...THEN I WAKE UP AND FIGHT TWO GOONS WHO DIDN'T KILL MATTHEO AND NOW EVERYONE IS ACTING LIKE I WAS NEARLY DEAD"

Everyone was astonished by my sudden outbreak but then Mattheo told them to take a seat at the dining table, as well as he led me there and asked me to sit and calm down before he started

" Baby, I will get straight to the point...The thing is that your aunt and uncle are dead, Greek Mafia King Hermes Demetria and his wife, Queen Andromeda Demetria killed them. Your ancestors had passed on the treasury and your uncle and aunt were the last heirs now you are. They are after you, your parents didn't know until your uncle told them. They are out of the country and wanted to take you but that Man Hermes is stronger than anyone can imagine so I asked them to keep you safe with me and these idiots came here uninvited. And that's that"

"So, how are you stronger than Hermes? I mean, also are you sure he won't go after my family ?"

"He can, but your father had strictly instructed me not to let that trouble you, they are ready to die in order to protect you but the high chances are that they won't for they are at my private island with top-notch security. Answering your first question my love, I am not as strong as Hermes but my security system is the second-best in the world after his own."

"Okay, last question....why is he after MY family treasury ?"

"His great-grandfather insists that a small portion of that treasury was theirs but your family never agreed. So..."

"Okay, got it"

"You don't need to worry baby, you are with me ....safe and sound," he said as he tucked a baby hair behind my ear.

"I know, thank you! "

"Okay Okay you two don't get to make out in front of us here, you have a bloody room for that ... let's eat before I lose my appetite" Alex joked.

"We weren't going to..." Mattheo defended.

"Its okay....sorry to keep you all waiting..." I said.

We were served Tacos !! Yummmm !! They were made by his personal chef and staff who were on the floor below us....where all his workers and the close staff were living and working in this situation. The whole top floor including his office and the personal suite was ours. Lux and Ben were in one room, Tay and Al in another, and Me and Mattheo in the last one.

You could say that Tay was very happy to be with Al, for recently they started acting like more than friends but not confirmed and Lux was annoyed...Ben too.

But what can we do ?.... The staff allotted the rooms. Before we all went to our rooms, we had pancakes for dessert.

And Mattheo gave the pairs a gun , including us.

I don't know what I am going to do , this is a bit too much for me actually but we'll see.
