"What the hell is the meaning of this?" I could be with Bry and his sweet little girl, that one day I would like to call my own, if he lets me. "I am not scheduled for a fight anytime soon." I like to keep it that way. I want to get as much evidence as I can so we can get the hell out of here!

"Come now Grayson." Can I wipe the smug, condescending look off your face? "My number one contender in these fights. Although I got to say Killer is getting quite a stir in these parts."  I try my hardest not to react when he calls Bry that name. "Some might say he might replace you." I scoff because I do not give a rat's ass who replaces me, but it will not be him!

"Is there a point in all this?"

"Don't get testy with me son." Fuck you, I'm not your son! "Sit, have a drink." I just want to get the hell out of here. The sooner I listen the faster I can leave. "The biggest fight of your career will be coming up in three days." 

First off it is not a career I chose, fucker! Second, what the fuck?!

"Since when?" Taking a huge swig from my drink.

"Since now. This is the payload of all payloads!" Clinking his glass to mine. Trying to act indifferent is getting harder because now I know who I am. Better yet who I want to be again, if I can.

"Then if that is the case, after this fight my brother's debt is free and clear." I'm not asking. This is it, I am fucking done and so is my boyfriend!

"Absolutely." Clinking my glass to his again I down the rest of the drink. "What's the catch?" I don't trust this fucker one bit.

"Brian, will lose the fight." 

"Who is he fighting?" I know the answer and it is making me sick to my stomach.

"You are and you will take him down." I know what he means and there is no way in hell.

"I won't do it!" Shit! I shouldn't have shown any signs of caring for him. "He has a kid for fuck sakes! I draw a line there." Trying to gain momentum is getting difficult when I feel sluggish. Fuck! He drugged me!

"You don't have a choice; besides you will not remember a thing about this conversation. By the time I'm done, he will want to kill you himself." What the fuck is he talking about? "You think I'm stupid Mike." His voice drips with venom. "I remembered him from all those years ago." Trying to stand up I stumble. 

"I'll kill you!"

"Ah! You do remember then. I was wondering if you got your memory back." 

I'm so screwed. Trying to lunge at him I stumble and he laughs manically. Before I can get to him something sharp hits the back of my head and it's lights out.

What the fuck happened? Where's Bry? Looking around groaning as I recognize where I am.

"Why the hell am I here?"

"You hit the juice pretty hard Dominator." Great another one of Romano's goons.

"Am I under house arrest or something?"

The fucker laughs and I glare at him. He wouldn't act so tough without that fucking gun strapped to him.

"No, I'm just here to make sure you are good for your fight." What fight? "That so happens to be happening in thirty minutes."

"Fuck!" Where is...I don't see it. "Where's my phone?"

The bastard shrugs his shoulders. I really would like to knock him out.

"I'm not your keeper. Get up and get ready."

He gets up and slams the door shut behind him. What the fuck happened? Last thing I remember is seeing Bry.

Tossing the blankets I see it and grab it. My breath hitches when I see the notifications. I don't understand.

Bry: Why?

Bry: Fuck you!

Bry: You coward!

What the fuck is going on?

Bry: Never contact me again. You broke my heart for the last time.

What is he talking about? Dialing his number it goes to voicemail.

"Come on pick up."

Dialing again same thing over and over again. This is not happening! Calling the one person who still has doubts about me. I need to find out what has happened.

"You have some nerve you fucker!" I have heard Benny pissed off but this is pure hatred. "I knew you would fuck him up, just didn't think it be this way."

"What the fuck are you talking about?" My anger gets the best of me. If he was here I would punch him.

"I don't have to explain shit to you!"

"Where the hell is Bry?"

"Go ask your new boy toy. Just stay the hell away from my brother!"

The call is dropped as I stare at my phone. Boy toy?

Bry: Hope you and Mitch rot in hell.

What's that douche got to do with anything?

Me: Baby, I don't know what you are talking about.

But I understand clearly when I get a new notification. A picture of me and Mitch naked embracing each other.

"No!" That didn't happened! I would never do that to Bry. "Son of a bitch!"

Slamming my fist into the wall over and over again.

"Save that for your opponent."

Whirling around I stare Romano down. The smug smirk on his face enrages me more.

"Bad news."

"What the fuck did you do?" Taking a menacing step towards him. "Explain now!" Grabbing the collar of his dress shirt. I know this is his doing.

"I have no clue what you are talking about. If I were you I would get your hands off me. I promise you will end up in a body bag."

I don't care. He fucked up my relationship with the one person who means the most to me. One good hit that's all I need.

"Do it and they are all dead." Taking a step back as he fixes his suit. "Now it's showtime. Your fight is next. I want you to take your opponent down." That sounds familiar but can't pinpoint why. "Don't screw this up. I have a big deal happening tonight. If that is fucked up, there will be hell to pay."

Shoving past him and into the fighting area it is packed. Why is this such a big deal?

"Now for what we all have been waiting for. This is going to be one hell of a fight." Shut up and get on with it. "Tonight we have the Dominator." The crowd gets rowdier that it's deafening.

Stepping into the makeshift ring. Bouncing on my feet to shake off the nerves. Something feels off about it.

"His opponent we have grown to love and hate. We have none other the protege himself." Oh fuck! Please God, no! "Killer."

Bryan steps into the ring, and not an ounce of the man before me is the man I love.

"Who will take who down in the fight?" Shut the fuck up! "Place your bets everyone. This is going to be one hell of a night."

I won't do it. Bryan will have to kill me himself.
