The Gang Leader's Street Fighter.

Chapter 6

Lexi's pov:

I called a taxi and waited. Shifting from one foot to another, people were staring at me in a weird way like I was the most interesting thing in the world. Sure people make remarks about my appearance but is that all I'm worth? 

I normally would awkwardly laugh and usually avoid talking about myself because if I were as beautiful as they say wouldn't my dad love me instead of beating me and marrying a conniving woman like Price? Wouldn't he?

HONK!

The taxi stopped in front of me snapping me out of my thoughts. I didn't have time for such thoughts they wouldn't change anything past or present, I would have to change my future. I slid into the cab the hot leather brushing my exposed skin. 

There wasn't anything special about the ride. The man focused on getting me to my destination with no need for small talk and I appreciated that. He drove right before the gym and wished me a good day before I stepped out. 

It was a genuine interaction. 

My gym is quite well known because I used my title of The Reaper to promote it and I allow the public and other street fighters to come and use it. But I have different sides for them so it doesn't cause chaos, in an environment where male testosterones are high all I need is egos and I have a murder waiting to happen.

Contradictorily, I'm quite rich actually if I wanted to I could buy myself a mansion and many other things, but if my parents found out they would make me hand over all my money then I will have nothing. 

My father's connections to the police department and the court and my mother's in the government meant they abused their authority with the local authority. Many incidents were overlooked involving my bruises at school, my father's drunken misconduct and so much else from fear of the higher-ups. 

So really it all comes down to my parent's control over me, the system, and undeserving respect.

"Excuse me but what are you doing in here" I turned to look at a woman wearing a pencil skirt and blouse it was professional but in a gym seemed to defeat the purpose somewhat.

I sighed and answered "Going to the gym"

"I'm sorry Miss but can't you read this side is for the street fighters the public side is other there" She said while pointing "but I think it's best if you go over there" She continued while pointing to the door this time.

I sighed and kept walking toward the street fighters' side of the gym.

"Manager there is a woman who is not going to the public gym......yes.....no.....ok" She was talking like she was a baby. What happened to Isabella she was a nice girl.

I walked into the street fighter's doors and just watched proudly. Many people were here talking, practicing and sparring it felt good to know I was the cause of many fighters here in one room getting along despite the problems they may have outside. 

I ran up to a group of muscular, tall guys and jumped on them.

"Long time no see boys" a wide smile plastered on my face.

"Reaper" they said at once trying to crush me into a group hug

I quickly took a step back ducking and diving out of reach watching as they all piled on the floor. What person in their right mind would willingly get squashed to death? It was definitely a comic site fully grown men piled on each other like children. 

"There she is. The woman I was talking about" I turned around and saw the lady sneering at me. Then I turned to look at Tony unimpressed as he bellowed at the sight of the dogpile feet ahead of me. 

"What did they do this time?"

I shrugged "They just jumped at me"

He burst out laughing again. I looked at the woman who was staring at me in shock mouth agape, I smirked at her.

"There's no love " Theo muttered while getting up

"Absolutely none" I stated matter-of-factly

This made Tony laugh even harder if it was possible. I smiled. None of them have changed.

"Tony you done yet I want to change. When does the fights start ?" I asked

He stood up with a serious face "Anytime Boss"

"Tonight."
