The next day
"Ugh, this body is gross."
"Who are you texting, right now? We're in the middle of something."
Alonzo started to cut the body into pieces. Each piece he threw it into the machine, that crushed the body into pieces, making the blood spatter everywhere.
"I'll be right there." Jayden said to him.
"Stop texting that girl. There's plenty of them to text her later on." Alonzo said, breathing heavily.
Jayden rolled his eyes and made his way over to him, to help him out.
"Does she know, what you do?" Jayden immediately stopped and a million thoughts ran through his head of what the consequence would be of him telling her what he did for a living.
He already met her parents and her father was already on edge of his daughter dating him.
He didn't want to ruin the one good thing going on in his life.
"It doesn't matter, right now."
"But it does." Alonzo threw the last body part into the machine.
"Her not knowing, could have a bad outcome. "
"If you're really serious about this girl, she needs to know. So that she can protect herself."
Jayden walked away, going to the exit but not before saying.
"I can protect her."

After making sure that the body was completely gone and report it back to his father, Jayden made his way to Astraea.
He went into her window, seeing that she was asleep in a peaceful way.
Even in her sleep she was gorgeous.
He walked into her space and brushed her hair a little back, feeling her.
Astraea frowned in her sleep.
Jayden placed his thumb in between the eyebrows, to massage her frown away.
"L'amore è quella condizione in cui la felicità di un'altra persona è essenziale per la tua." Jayden said, silently.
He bend down to give her a peck on her temple.
"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own." —Robert A. Heinlein
This was what his mother always told him, since he was a kid.
His mother was the only woman he loved in his whole life until she came.
He never thought that he would find someone, that made his heart beat faster with every step he took.
Is this what love was?
He knew that his father had a lot of enemies. In his life there wasn't place for love.
But staying away from her, is almost like half of his heart got shattered.
Her laugh could brighten anyone's day. The thought of losing her, couldn't fit in his mind.
He knew that she would be in danger if one of his father's enemies would know about his weakness.
Astraea fluttered her eyes open.
"Jayden." She said, hoarsely.
When she stood up to turn her lamp on, she didn't saw anyone maybe she was imagining things.
But why was his scent lingering around in her room and her window was widely open then what she remembered it was.
•••
"Everyone give it up for Ace!" The host said.
He was glad he got to visit Astraea, before doing what he needed to do.
She was his lucky charm.
Jayden loosened himself up before meeting the loud crowd, cheering his name.
One of the things Jayden did in his free time, to keep up with his training was box with other boxers.
"Our next contestant, please welcome Voldato!"
The man that came on to the stage was a bulked man. He was a big guy. He had an eagle tattoo on his right shoulder.
He smirked at Jayden to tease him, when they stood face to face with each other.
The referee came in between them.
"So, you guys know the rules. Don't knock someone on the back of the head. We play fair and square. If you do something that's not allowed, it will cost you your points. Lastly, if you want to stop, well you know what you need to do."
"One."
"Two."
"Three, GO!"The crowd got wild.
On the first round, the both of them came with a lot of energy by the time round two came the other contestant got two uppercuts, making him a bit exhausted.
The last round he got two hooks in with Jayden, but they were not that strong like the K.O. Jayden gave him.
The girls started showing their boobs and they shouted his name.
After Jayden won the fight, he left with the winning-money home.
