“You sure you’re ready for this?” Mattia asked me for the millionth time.
“He’s ready,” Tony, my coach, answered for me.
“He has no choice,” Leo, my manager, reminded us. “He signed a contract.”
“Okay, but that last fight was brutal,” Mattia argued.
“You’re supposed to be my hype man,” I grumbled.
Of course, I was ignored.
“He has a fractured cheek bone, but he’s fine. He’s practically healed up now,” Tony said. “Besides, we trained harder. And he was distracted last time thanks to you.”
“Yes, I apologized, and now we have that rule about no social media the day of a fight,” Mattia replied.
“This is his last fight anyway,” Leo said. “This one and then he’s done.”
Done. For fu.cking good.
Don’t get me wrong, I love MMA. I’m passionate about it. I’m great at it. But I’ve been doing it since I was 15. I’m ready to take a break at least. I want to go home. I miss the club. I miss my brothers.
And I have a girl to find. Since my dipsh.it brothers let her slip away. Those dillholes have always been dumb when it comes to women. I don’t know what they did, since they claim to not have done anything, but I know it’s their fault our girl didn’t come back home. And as soon as this fight is over, I’m going straight home and getting started on my search.
I know CG will help me. I don’t care what the other three think. One last fight, and I’m finally free to do what I want.
“You ready to come get warmed up and changed?” Tony asked me.
We’d been sitting in the back of a limo for a while now. With this being my last fight, it’s a huge spectacle. There are way more fans than ever here. I can hear them all screaming and hollering from around the building. I love my fans, but some of the women can get crazy.

Like fu.cking Tori.
“You sure you guys have tight security tonight?” I asked them.

“Victoria will not get in, I promise you that,” Leo told me. “After the stunt she pulled… I doubt she’s even in the country anymore.”
“You were an id.iot for getting involved with her,” Tony muttered.
“I’m a man,” I replied flatly. “I didn’t know she was going to be that crazy. I just wanted to get my di.ck wet.”
Which was true. Then Tori kept showing up everywhere I was. Because she knew my team, I never thought anything of it. I just thought she was around because of them, and she was convenient. I didn’t think she’d turn into a fu.cking stalker.
See, my team; Leo, Tony, and Mattia are all brothers. Brothers and part of the Italian mafia. In fact, their eldest brother, Luca, is the head of the family. He took an interest in me when I was about 20 years old. My name was popping up all over, and I was known as the Silver Dragon rookie who took opponents down with one punch.
Luca attended a few of my fights and eventually came to me with a deal. He wanted to sponsor me. It came with a contract, a fu.ck–load of money, and a five–year tour. By the time things were said and done, I was rolling in doe, and Luca had my face plastered across the country. He’s a great business–man, I’ll give him that.
I got along with all of them right away. After all, we’re cut from the same cloth. Just on two opposite sides. We deal with the same world, but they’re way more fu.cking rich than I’ll ever be. Not that they acted like it. Not with me anyway. They became some of my closest friends. I even invited them home to the club a few times. Both the charter we moved to and the one I was originally from.
About three years ago though, things started to change. Shortly after Victoria Katz showed up. She was a friend of the family and had moved back to the states after being in England for the last seven years. She had finally finished with college and wanted to pursue a career in acting. Luca was more than willing to help her. Because the poor sap was head over heels for the devil woman.
Unfortunately for me, I’m a biker through and through. I noticed Luca’s feelings, but he never acted on them. I wasn’t sure he ever would, and I didn’t understand why. So, when Tori came onto me one night after we’d been drinking a bit, I didn’t say no. Part of me hoped that it would make Luca so jealous he’d finally do something about his little crush.
However, that is not at all what happened. Tori became obsessed with me, and it took me way too long to realize it. She was great at playing mind games and pretending to be a

damsel in distress. The more she acted out to get my attention, the more Luca and I grew apart. He never said anything to me about it, but I could see it in his eyes. Part of him hated me because I got the one thing he never could. That stupid girl’s attention.
About a year ago, I cut all ties with Tori. I was sick of all the bullsh.it. After one particularly cruel stunt that landed Mattia in the hospital with a broken arm, I was done. Tori got threatened the way bikers do, and I told her to stay far away from me. Luca was furious with her for getting his brother hurt, and for a while, Tori stayed gone.
Then, all of a sudden, she popped back up. It was about three months ago. She showed up to my match and snuck into the locker room after. Then she was at every single match. Then she posted photos she took of us from years ago, without my consent I might add, all over her socials. And of course, the fu.cking fake engagement bullsh.it.
What if Blythe is out there reading that nonsense? Tori has no idea what she might have fu.cking done!
Tori isn’t exactly all bad. She’s just… spoiled and used to getting what she wants. I’d bet all my money and my left nut that if I played along, she’d get bored of me in a month. She likes the chase, the thrill. Which is why I’ll never understand why she’s not into Luca. He might like her, but I seriously doubt she knows that. The man is as stoic as it gets.
“Come on,” Tony said, pulling me from my thoughts. “Luca’s inside waiting.”
I followed Tony inside with Mattia by my side and Leo following behind us. I was excited to see Luca even if things weren’t the same between us. I kind of have hope that the more time he spends around me, the sooner he’ll forgive me.
“You ready for tonight?” Luca asked once he spotted me after we walked inside.
“Pumped,” I replied, beaming at him.
“You gonna win?” he asked, smirking.
That made me smile even wider. This is the Luca I remember. This is actually the most he’s talked to me in months. I knew he’d start to get over it eventually.
“Course I am,” I said. “I’ve won every single match so far, right?”
“Yeah, but this guy…” he trailed off, teasing me.
“Oh whatever,” I laughed as we walked into the locker room they gave me. A whole locker room to myself. They really pulled out the big guns this time. Usually I just get a decently spacious room. There have been times when Tony and I have had to warm up outside.
“You sure you want to give all this up?” Luca asked as he leaned against a row of lockers.

“This is the biggest place you’ve fought in. It only goes up from here.”
“Nah, I’ve had a good run,” I replied.
Tony scoffed.
“You could be the next Geroges St–Peirre,” he grumbled.
I shook my head as I chuckled at him.
“No can do,” I said. “I got a club to get back to.”
“And a girl to find,” Mattia snickered.
“Oh, that reminds me,” Leo chimed in. “We got that information you wanted.”
I perked up at that.
“You did?” I asked.

“Yeah, but it wasn’t much,” he told me. “Just the stuff you already knew, except one thing that
I don’t think your club even knows yet.”
“What?” I asked.
“That whole thing is strange all around,” Luca muttered.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“The girl has no records,” he replied, saying it like I should already know that.
“I know my brothers couldn’t find much, but she married rich. She probably doesn’t have to work or anything,” I said.
“That’s not what I mean,” Luca said. “The only record for that girl in the last nine years was her marriage certificate. We didn’t even find a diploma, no hospital records, she has no primary doctor, nothing.”
I blinked at him.
I’m not the smartest one in the bunch. I know that. Been whacked in the head too many times. I wasn’t exactly sure what they were getting at.
“But I mean… that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have those things,” I said. “Just means she’s secretive. Right?”
“Wrong,” Luca stated as he crossed his arms.

than most people could ever dream of. So, yes, you are wrong. The fact that we did not find those records doesn’t mean that they’re hidden. It means that they don’t exist.”
“But… that would mean that Blythe never finished high school… or went to college…” I mumbled, trailing off.
“Or has a primary doctor, nor has she been to one at all,” Leo said. “That’s what I find the strangest. You’re telling me that in almost ten years the girl has never been sick, broken a bone, or even gone in for a check–up?”
“Could she be using a different name?” I asked them. “She is technically missing.”
“Oh, that brings us back to the new information,” Luca said. “True that she could be using a different name, but I don’t think she is. I only say that because the new information is that there’s a red tag on her missing persons report now.”
