The proposal

Chapter:16

Lacey:

That s.o.b

They had been sparring since they had left the banquet. Poor tadeo took the blunt end of her rage like a champ.he dodged most of her pounces and side kicks. He was agile like a spider monkey. He  had speed and  agility versus brute strength and power . that hat made him a formible oppentant in the ring .

Sweat dripped into her eyes as She circled around the ring . Tadeo could always be counted on no matter what the hardships were. Why couldn't she love him like Alex.

She kicked him in the ribs she promised to go easy upon him that ment no blood.she was gonna rough up his handsome face. He got in a lot of good hits she was going to have bruised ribs. That was her weakness her unhealed ribs.

She loved tadeo like a younger brother . why did he have to complicate things?until now ,She never had a temptation to go back in the ring. She stayed away from it for six years to this day .

Tadeo ,I'm hitting the bag you go shower. Good match he smiled "any time flower" he walked off leaving her to sort out her own inner demons .

Lacey's memory( Paul)

She swung as the memories came flooding bad. It still left a horrid taste within her mouth. She met him after one of her fathers match in Chicago six years ago. He swept her off her feet that night after the fight.

She fell hard for his charm he had a dark side always obsessed with some match that robbed him of something special.

He would verbally paralyzing after a few years til she submissed to his demands . She soon lost her self into his web of lies. (She punched and kick til her knuckles bleed). Paul started slowly to ignore her she felt thankful for that short period of reprieve .( the bag swung as the tears flowed . One night he had it in him to strike her. she finally had enough.. she lashed out and he wound up in the hospital . that when she told Victoria she going home. They left that night on the planet that very night.

She promise she would never be that person again. ( end of memory)

She sank to the floor curling into a ball. She didn't know if it was either she was crying for her past or her future but booth looked bleak.
———————————————————————-

The next morning she found herself in a warm bed victoria poking her face . " waffles".

She couldn't move her right hand it was bandaged up and so were her ribs. What happened ?

Tadeo found you and brang you to ma house. We couldn't let your parents see you like that mr. b would have murdered them both. Tadeo for sparing with you and Alex for breaking your heart. She winced at the thought of how her father would react . He stayed on the couch til your hands were taken care of. I shook my head that hard headed Samoa .

How you feeling ? Victoria asked

Hallow and I feel horrible that I fell for him . Lacey rubbed her temples. Please , tell me that he left us alone.

James says he is taking it hard . Just talk to him . He is not that bad I know what happened it was Chantel that witch.

Ok she texted him meet me at three at the diner.

"Ok,see you then"

At two thirty after two waffles and one shower later. She felt normal enough strength to see him.

She walked down to the Diner she didn't see him . Sitting there was chantel in a lone table.
You have to be f?!)kin kidding me.. why do you hate me.

Hello rat . I don't have all day so I will get this over with I got information that you would be introstead in .. here in this folder is why James chose you and the other is Alex's dirty little secret choose carefully . One is for you and the other for the press. One will bring down his world. The other will crumble yours.

Lacey chose the left containing his secret . Ah .ah .ah. She chuckled by rat.

She opened the folder containing
Two folders one stating that James fired her on Alex's command . The other containing James and Alex birth certificates.., they have the same father .. oh dang.

James she called meet me now at the diner. He looked like he didn't sleep a wink. He had morning stubble and bags under his eyes. His hair in disarray not in a good way.

She passed the folder this is what Chantel gave me. She's gonna leak it to the press, he paled.
"This is horrible . "

How can I ask this but how is he?

"Fairing he had to tell me yesterday that he's my biological brother and right now sparing with your dad at his gym. "

That is not smart due to he's mad and sparing can lead to broken bones . As he said

"I rather get my a!! handed then to make her cry again"
