Abby's POV Please, Goddess. Please. Please let this end without blood. I clasped my hands together in front of my face as Hayden stormed toward him.I didn’t even realize I had closed my eyes during the short prayer, not until I heard the loud, sickening thud.I flung my eyes open.Goddess!Derek was already bleeding. But Hayden didn’t stop. He kept going, landing punch after punch, blow after blow. Each one harder than the last. He didn’t give Derek breathing space or chance to fight back at all.My face was wet with tears. “Hayden,” I called, but he didn’t answer.The receptionist gasped and rushed forward. “Please, Mr. Roche, this isn’t allowed here, sir.”Hayden didn’t even look her way. His knuckles were already stained red. His breathing, heavy. Derek groaned beneath him. Weak.Two security guards rushed in. They’d probably seen it through the surveillance cameras. But they halted a few feet away, uncertain.Their eyes flicked between Hayden and Derek, who was soaked in blood.
