Alice POV
The words Sandro said to me were like an alarm that went off in my brain. It was like my brain was a stranger telling me to run to this opportunity. But if I were to leave I wouldn't be able to see Leo he will be left alone with the witch and the not so loving father. If Leo was not in the picture I wouldn't think twice in joining as a fighter. It had a lot of advantages one of, which was freedom.

Knock knock

There was a knock on my door that broke me off of my thinking. I was just sitting on my bed and got up to see, who it was. I opened the door and was greeted by a cheeky little boy. Looking up to me, with puppy dog eyes. He was wearing his sleeping suite as for it was night time.

"Hello, my prince what an honor to see you here," I say to Leo. Trying my best to make him smile.

"Hello, my princess. Can I come in?", Leo says to me.

Leo comes into my room and heads straight for my bed. he jumps on my bed and cuddles up, with my bedsheet and makes himself comfortable. I go lay next to him in the. He puts his head on my chest an looks up to me.

"Leo, baby I have something to tell you. But please promise not t cry" I plead Leo.

"I prowmise" he says cutely. Not being able to pronounce promise.

"So I may be leaving" I drop the bomb to him. His eyes start to tear up. But he tries his hardest to cover up that he is about to cry.

"Are you going to leave forever, ever?" he asks me, not believing the fact I could be gone.

"I am going to tell you what happened today, something very strange" in return he just nods at me to carry on telling him the story.

Flashback

A bad man attacked me today and I fought back giving him what he deserves. I was pulled back when fighting the guy from your brother and Sandro. I was sent straight away to my room where Sandro came and gave me his business number. I called him tonight.

"Don't go to the crazy conclusions. By being a fighter you will be ranked up and no one will mess, with you ever again because of your status as a fighter. Also, you have more opportunities as a fighter. I myself hire fighters. So this is a once in a lifetime opportunity do you want to be a fighter?", Sandro says to me.

"I don't know Sandro you can't just drop the bomb on me and expect me to choose right away. Where I work right now  I have people, who love me I can't just abandon them!" I shout back at him.

"Well, you are very feisty. I am going to give you by tomorrow morning to give me your final answer because Sandro waits for no one. Even pretty little girls"  Sandro's dangerous voice commands.

"Ok, thank you, Sandro, I will think about this" I quickly reply back to him.

"Hurry up pretty girl your freedom lies in my hands" that's what I heard before I  hung up.

Flashback ends

"Do you understand Leo? I just don't want to leave you here" I suggest to Leo.

In reply, Leo says; "Alice if you wa-nt to lea-ve you can" I saw tears start to appear in Leo's eyes. He was stuttering it was his only way of not breaking our promise.

"You sure Leo? I just love you too much".

There was a moment of silence. Leo buries his face entirely in my chest and I couldn't see his face. But I felt my shirt getting wet indicating to me that Leo was crying. All of a sudden Leo's head pops up. I could see bloodshot red eyes but a smile on his face. What a peculiar boy.

"Hey. Lex what if I come, with you. We can both leave this hell and enjoy" his eyes were sparkling with true innocence. He hasn't met the reality of the World.

"Honey, we will need your dad's permission for that. Its pretty unlikely that he will agree." I try to tell him.

Leo got up from the bed and pulled me out, with him. "Baby, where are you taking me?" I ask him out of panic.

He pulls me out of my room, with a strong hold on my hand. How strong is this three- year- old boy. "We are going to my dad's office he will be still awake", he replies back.

"Baby, I think that's a bad idea. Your dad may shout at you." I try to negotiate, with him.

"No, we are going to my dad and that's final" I decide not to argue, with this boy. No one in this house listens to him. I feel like by me listening to him it makes him feel better about himself. Anyways I have nothing to lose in front of Mr.Russo.

As Leo was dragging me into a hallway I bashed into a wall. a very soft all with muscle? I look up to see its Alessandro, not a wall. He is staring at me as if I am a crazy person to crash into him. Leo stops walking and looks to see what's happening. THe dangerous aura Alessandro has, had an effect on both me and Leo.

"Sorry sir, I didn't mean to bash into you" I shamefully say to him.

"Well next time watch where you are walking maid!", shouts Alessandro at me.

"I'm sorry-"I couldn't finish my sentence as for Leo started dragging me away from Alessandro. I was ever so thankful to Leo.

I look at Leo and he looks back at me and I mouth a thank you to him. In return, he just gives me back billion dollars worth smile.

Finally, after five minutes walk me and Leo arrive at Mr. Russo's door. I think to myself how big is this house?

Leo lifts up his hand and knocks on the door.
