Chapter 4

I turn off my alarm and go to freshen up for the gym. I usually hit the gym every day and I couldn't for the past 3 or 4 days. I have gotten the premium membership of the gym in my neighbourhood that means that I can get any kind of coaching I want.

I wore my black sports bra with grey leggings, my sports shoes and I put on a super dry jacket on top of it. I took my water bottle too and put my hair up high in a pony.


I decided to hit the gym for 2 hours because when I come out it will 7 and I will have 2 hours to get ready for work.

I felt like doing some boxing so I went for the boxing class today.

I have already learnt it so it wasn't like I needed like the kind of coaching beginners get.

"Hi, I am Vanessa Beckett Gifford and here's my membership card," I say giving the front desk girl my car and she gets up and smiles.

"Wait you are the one who married William Gifford right?" she asks with so much excitement that I smiled.

"Yes," I say nodding and she screamed with excitement. I wish I was as excited as her that I got married to Will.

"Oh my god, you are like our new celebrity. Can I please have a look at your ring and can I have a picture with you?" she asked and I nod. I show her my ring and she screamed again.


"That is such a big rock. You are so lucky," she exclaimed examining it and I hope I thought that I was lucky too. She then took a selfie of us together and I smiled.

"Thank you so much," she said hugging me and I hugged her back. I had a little celebrity feeling.

"Now which class would you like to go to Ma'am?" she asked after she composed herself.

"Boxing please and I want to go for professional category," I said and she nodded.

She leads me to the boxing area where there were a lot of guys and so many less girls.

"This is Vanessa and she will be joining you guys for boxing today," she says and walks out wishing me luck.

"Hi which way is the-," I ask to a guy with bulging muscles nearby but he cut me.

"Oh the beginner's side? This way is for the girls beginning class you know for those who are weak," he said and his other friend laughed.

"Actually I was asking for the professional boxing area but you told me the place you would want to be," I say and 3 boys joined to laugh with me.

"Who do you think you are? Do you think that you can beat me?" he asked getting angry.

"I do not think so because I know I will," I said and more people cheered for me.

"Alright come on," he said getting his things ready and I did too and we got into the ring. I didn't forget to take out my wedding and engagement ring before getting in though.

"Do not get scared of me, I will not hit you that hard," I say as we were about to begin.

I first let him throw punches at me which I dodged to find his weakness and to understand his fight. As I learnt it, it was my turn to beat him.

I noticed that he was throwing punches in a same order. He was doing Jab, block, upper cut and bobbing. I knew what I had to do.

I leaned away from the uppercut and gave him a straight punch. He stumbled backwards a bit.

I followed that punch with a Bolo punch and overhand right and knocked him down.

He wasn't able to get up for few minutes until they sprayed water on him. I was declared as the winner and people cheered for me.
