Recap:
"Fine, beautiful if I win I can do whatever I want with you, understood", crazy man has a smirk on his face.

"I agree to these terms", confidence was leaking on each word.

What have I gotten myself into? Let's hope all the training Fred gave come to account. I don't want to be the next meal for the crazy guy.

...

Alice POV
Regular red boxing glove of mine punched the man on the right side of his face, in return, he just groaned. We both had started the fight in the boxing ring. This man only aimed for my abdomen but I protected it too well so he couldn't really do anything. Our fight had started five minutes ago and is still going.

"Lex, wh-at are yoou doing", I hear a voice call out my name. I look around to see its Leo. He looks terrified. As I was looking at Leo I got punched by golden gloves that hit my face with so much force that it caused me to fall on the floor, with pain starting to shoot on the left side of my body.

I couldn't give up. Leo came to the side that I fell and looked me in the eye. He didn't say anything but through his eyes, I could see desperation. The countdown for the knockout had started. Some man started shouting.

"One

two

three

four-", when he said four I was up I couldn't give up that easily. I needed to teach this man a lesson to never mess, with women because women are not weak.

The man and I started yet again getting his hands in position. I saw the surprise on his face as if he had seen no one get up before in the boxing ring. But he had an advantage he knew my body was injured from the left side. Giving me his wicked grin he started to punch consistently the left side of m body. It hurt so much that I could barely support my own weight. I had enough of him punching me, with all the power I had I punched the man so hard that he would get amnesia. My punch landed on his head and directly he fell on the floor. The countdown for the knockout had started.

"One

two

three

four

five

six

seven

eight

nine

ten", the man never got up I officially had knocked out this man and won the game. People started to come in the arena.

"You won! I never thought a woman would defeat Underground!", some man yelled at me.

"She did that!", another man shouted.

So many comments were thrown at me. When I was fighting this man called Underground a crowd was built up to see the match. But I didn't care about the attention I just wanted to give this maid her dignity back that she as a woman deserved.

I make my way to Leo, with my left leg limping. Leo came and hugged me "Arre you al-right? Youu scar-ed me. Don't doo that aga-in" he says to me in his adorable voice. In return, I just nod and try to smile, with the pain I was feeling.

"Well, well, well what do we have here. The Underground is on the floor in pain, who was responsible for this? Answer now!?", Sandro asks everyone, whilst striding in the basement. He looked very angry as if someone attacked his favorite son.

"I had a boxing match with him under a bet, which he was fully committed to. I won the match and he is on the floor for that reason", I answer. I wasn't going to lie to him I was going to declare the truth. Sandro looks up to me, with surprise written all over his face.

"You seemed to surprise me even more and more. Do you know you just took down one of my best boxers and you weren't even here to learn how to box but rather you were here to learn how to fight. I'm impressed" Sandro's eyes showed that he was proud of what I was able to do.

"Oh, Sandro please tell me, where I can find a doctor?"

"It's on the third floor. The third floor is the medical wing. Tomorrow please come to my office I would like you to meet your trainer", Sandro replies.

Leo supports my body and we both start to make our way to the third floor. Reaching the third floor is literally going to pain me.

As Leo and I reach the first floor the maid, who I helped came towards me. She was shaking really badly. As she came closer I grabbed a hold of her shoulder and drew circles on it to support her. I didn't even know this maid but I still chose to stand up for her because no one should be disrespected as she was. She reminded me of myself when I was stuck in that horrible hose that can't be called home, with my fake father.

"Thank yo-u for sav-ing me from that vi-le mae. My nam-e is Adrina. I am fore-ever grate-ful of you.", Adrina says to me whilst crying uncontrollably and stuttering at about every word. Something told me that this girl needed help in gaining her confidence back.

"It's alright Adrina. If you can, can you help me get to the third floor because my left side is aching", I gently ask her. In return, she just nods at me.

...

The next day

"Leo baby, wake up, we need to go and meet my trainer remember. Come on baby you sleep later on", this does not listen to a word I say instead he just snuggles deeper into the duvet.

I've had enough so I start tickling him. "Stooop! I'm uppp. I'm uppp!", Leo screams at me.

Leo and I both get up and start getting ready to meet my personal trainer. After brushing our teeth, taking showers and wearing fresh clothes on we are out the door like a flash.

We arrive at Sandro's office and knock on the door.

Knock knock

"Come in" we hear the gruff voice of Sandro. We both enter the room.

The office had a vintage side to it as if it had been used by many generations, with wood-based walls and desk, with two wooden chairs for clients to sit on. I and Leo went and sat on the wooden chairs and opposite us was Sandro, who we were separated by a wooden desk. What a stereotypical business structure.

"Hello, Miss Alice good to see you again. I like to be direct. So the trainer that I have gotten for you is not just any trainer he used to be one of my best fighters but decided to the retire because of personal reasons. He is training you because he has a debt to repay for me. So you are being trained by the best of the best because I think you are totally capable.", Sandro acquires to me, with full honesty.

"Thank you, Mr. Sandro, that means a lot" I address back.

"He is here" Sandro casually replies, with a smirk on his face.

"So this is my student", I recognize this voice anywhere it was...
