No matter how much I avoid it it's only Hazel who's been all over my mind since I met her, maybe it is because I know nothing about her. She is a total mystery; an entangled puzzle, eagerly waiting for someone to solve and I am being desperate to solve it. That is the only excuse I can give to myself.

Although, today I was not expecting Mariana to come up here in New York from Boston. I mean I wanted her to be here as soon as possible because I want her to fill Hazel with her extraordinary manipulation techniques. Moreover, I want her to find out everything about Hazel.

Mariana works for me as an information collector, which helps our company to hit right on our opponent's weakness and be on the top of the market.

After ensuring that Hazel was safe with Mary, I went to the real fight arena. It has been more than two months of training the boys so now was time to test them. Terry conducted the fights as a referee while I judged them. Now it was time for our best player Danny. Terry announced his name and dared anyone to fight against him. Just a second passed and every noise in the hall became silent and I could see a shocked expression on Terry's face. I turned around and found one hand in the air, IT WAS HAZEL. I will not lie but I was shocked too.

"I will fight against him!" she shouted in the most confident voice and began to walk toward the ring. I saw Mary smirking beside her. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING!

I walked to her before she could go in the ring, "Hey what's wrong with you? Are you seriously going to fight with him?" I asked her out of concern. "He can kill you!" I said to her.

"Then isn't it a great way to die" she said calmly as if it's nothing new to her.

"Don't worry I will not break our deal" This was all she said and went into the ring.

"What the hell is happening? Mary" I asked Mary. "She knows to fight!" she exclaimed. "She didn't say how but she threw the knives like a pro. I bet she's hiding something great!" She added. I turned my attention to the fight, WHAT ON THE EARTH IS THIS GIRL HIDING!

Terry blew the whistle and Hazel held her hand in guard position so did Danny. I could feel every eye on the fight.

Danny was smirking like he was enjoying playing with her but on the other hand, Hazel's face was expressionless. Danny tried to punch first but Hazel ducked swiftly. He continued to fight like that for some moments until Hazel started attacking too. She threw some punches and landed perfectly on his face. Danny started growing angry. Not going to lie but I was feeling worried for Hazel. I should never let this fight happen, I thought to myself. Danny started punching repeatedly but she douched every one of them and then in a second she held his one punch by her arm and climbed him in a smooth motion, now she was above him, her hands around his neck and her legs circled his stomach. Then in another second, she kicked in his legs from behind because of which he landed on the mat upon his face. The voices and the shouting of the crowd returned. Danny struggled against her but her grip around his neck was tight enough to turn his face red. It took Danny some minutes to untangle her grip. Now Danny was above her punching mercilessly in her face but she guarded it hard with her arms. I was growing angry at every punch he was throwing at her, I was about to end this stupid fight but Terry blew the whistle marking halftime. Hazel untangled herself from him and came back to her position.

Both of them were on their feet again but Danny was breathing heavily while Hazel remained as calm as before unaware of the blood flowing from her right cheek. After a few minutes Terry blew the whistle, "Let's finish it up" I heard Hazel whispering.

The fight started again and this time Hazel was the one attacking. She was kicking him, some landed on his face making his nose bleed. Getting a perfect chance Danny held her leg but without worrying, she smirked and jumped on her other leg, kicking right on his face and breaking his nose. Danny cried in pain, he left her leg and held his nose, getting a good opportunity hazel kicked him in his groin. He landed on the mat holding his groin and crying in pain while Hazel moved out of the ring marking the end.

The crowd started shouting for Hazel while Terry looked shocked at the defeat of our best fighter. I was amazed rather than shocked.

I saw her going, and I followed her.
