A few days had gone by, and Miray's health showed noticeable improvement. The brothers felt a wave of relief wash over them as they observed that she had managed to regain the weight she had previously lost.

The unsightly red marks on her skin had completely vanished, much to Vince's relief. He hated how Miray was feeling self-conscious and how she wouldn't let him kiss her skin, thinking her skin to be repulsive.

As Vince's championship boxing match drew closer, Miray couldn't shake off the anxiety that consumed her. The thought of him stepping into the ring, facing opponents who aimed to defeat him, filled her with fear and dread. Despite knowing that it was a legal and prestigious event, Miray couldn't help but despise the idea of witnessing Vince in a fight.

Although she understood his passion for the sport and admired his dedication and skill, she couldn't bear the thought of him getting hurt in the ring...

Friday arrived, the day of Vince's highly anticipated battle. Vince appeared calm and composed, exuding an air of confidence,  joking around with Noah and engaging in video games with him, Kaiden, and Rayan as if he had no care in the world.

Meanwhile, Miray's anxiety was palpable. Sitting on the sofa behind the boys who were sitting on the ground, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by worry as she nervously nibbled on her nails, her mind racing through all the worst-case scenarios.

She couldn't shake off the fear that something might go wrong, and the thought of seeing her brother in a violent fight filled her with unease.

"Hey there, stop looking so serious. It's just a boxing match," Miray almost flinched at Vince's arms, enveloping her and pulling her gently onto his lap. "I'll be fine, I promise. You know I've got this under control," he whispered, his warm breath tickling her neck as he nuzzled his face against her.

Miray leaned into his embrace, her tense muscles relaxing as she allowed herself to trust in his capabilities. She knew Vince was a skilled boxer and had trained diligently for this match. With his arms around her, she felt a renewed sense of calm, knowing that he was physically strong and always fulfilled his promise not to get hurt.

Vince considered canceling his match for Miray's sake since it was negatively affecting her health. But, if he did so, Vince knew he would do something criminal because his immense anger was building up inside him, and it would lead to an explosive outburst if he didn't find a legal and physical outlet to release it.
