Men that took an innocent child as collateral were not to be trusted, and she didn’t trust them, not one bit

“You look like fucking shit”

She looked up to see Ben, one of thenear the door

Belle didn’t say a word She simply waited

“One fight to go You’ve been on fire A little sloppy at tioes south eventually” He clapped his hands together looking ood show”

She stared at her hands Her knuckles were bruised and cracked They hurt soany protection

Her stomach was also bruised, and if she moved a little too suddenly, she felt the pain in her ribs There was probably a crack or two there

Bruises covered her face, her lip was split, and there were also finger otten her on the floor and started to choke her She’d been close to passing out when the fighter had et the upper hand, and win that fight

“Are you going to give us a good show?” Ben reached out to touch her, but she swatted his hand away

The last thing she wanted was this bastard’s touch on her

“Oh, you don’t like that, do you, little girl?”

“You don’t get to touch me, ever”

Ben smiled “I wouldn’t be too sure of that You know I always used to watch you fight Our fathers shared that passion in that regard They liked to watch their kids fight I re this little fat kid You would whimper and cry as they hit you Then one day you caer the little fat punching bag but so a lot more”

She gritted her teeth, and found the strength to stand up without showing the pain she was in She had to be strong and do this for her little girl

Her baby was the only one that counted to her

“You ready?”

Belle stared at hi

“You’re going to love this one I don’t think they’re going to be as easy as the other fighters I’ve faced The odds are a lot higher now Instead of a couple of grand, we’re up to a couple of hundred grand”
