Chereads / A deadly Romance / Chapter 9 - Ring

Chapter 9 - Ring

The next morning i wake up a little earlier than usual ,I stretch and get out of bed ,I take a look at the clock on my phone it's 7am ,why did I wake up so early I ponder to myself . Either way I'm already awake now so I just get ready.

After putting on some clothes since it was a Saturday and I obviously wasn't going anywhere I decided to wear something casual,I put on a baggy top with some sweatpants,I kneel down and reach under my bed and bring out the box .

I open it and bring out the pendant and put it on the glistening jewel shining as I look in the mirror clutching the necklace and I shut my eyes to stop whatever tears that were threatening to fall.

After a while I get out of the room and head towards the kitchen where I see a grinning Rosa who was intently listening to Zoey excitedly tell her a story about her killings.

"And then while he was taking a piss I shot him"Zoey laughed uncontrollably while Rosa couldn't help but look at her with an amused look."well looks like you guys are finally getting used to each other"I say with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah I guess she isn't that bad of a person"Rosa grins as she nudges Zoey who's smiling at her sheepishly but then Rosa turns to me "so how did it go last night with Mr my only personality is being a douchebag,from the looks of things I'm sure he was a pain in the ass to you last night "she points at my neck which looked bruised due to Lorenzo last night

I scoff remembering the events of last night "he was the worst no offense but I wish I could just break his stupid perfectly sculptured face"I say pinching the bridge of my nose .

"Oh really?"

I get startled when I hear that groggy voice I turn around to see Lorenzo with folded arms behind me staring at me with a raised eyebrow as he comes closer to me.

"Is that so princessa you want to break my face?, do you really believe that you could lay a finger on me ?"He chuckles his deep voice booming into my ears and I couldn't help but feel annoyed ,did he really think I couldn't beat him in a fight?.

"Of course your not as tough as you think Lorenzo"I smirk seeing I ticked him off as his eye twitches

"I bet you couldn't land a single blow on me that could make me bleed talk less of breaking my face "he comes closer to me

"Is that a challenge Lorenzo?"I say tilting my head up at him.

"Yes it is ,well then how about you join me for a little sparring match this morning , what do you say Cecilia?"he says with a challenging look as he waits for my answer.

"Oh hell yes"

I stand in awe as I look around the training facility Lorenzo takes me too it's fully equipped,I look to the side where I see guns and all sorts of weaponry on the wall.

I turn to the left side of this massive facility to see some of Lorenzo's men training,practicing their shooting skills at some test dummies in a glass room which I'm guessing is unbreakable glass.

As we walk further I see a ring,I turn to Lorenzo as i wear some tape around my fist now that I had changed into my training gear"is this where we are going to be fighting"

"Yes princess or would you like to fight somewhere else?"he looks down at me with a lazy grin as he stretches his arms as he takes off his black fitted shirt revealing his abs and a scar my eyes trail down there but a snap of his finger stops me before I could get a better look and we get in the ring.

"Come on let's do this"I say maintaining a proper stance as I stare up at him with a burning desire to whoop his ass,He looks down at me with a wild grin as he sees the fire In my eyes and just like that I throw the first punch.

He dodges

I elbow his jaw as he tries to grapple me ,he doesn't even seem to be affected,He kicks me in the stomach making me bounce onto the ropes I gather some momentum from it and send a kick flying to his face.

He grabs my leg I use my other leg to maintain balance and act like I'm going to hit his face he tries to block but I hit him in the gut instead.

With this distraction I try to slide him down with my leg but he takes a step back and instead pushes me back ,I try to knock him out by aiming for a sensitive part of the neck .

But just as if he had know that was my next move he grabs my arm and flips me over him intending to fall me down but as I flip over him I manage to grab his neck and we both land on the mat I maintain a firm grip on his neck as I wrap my legs around his torso.

"Well looks like I got you under my control " I chuckle but my laughing stops when I see his lips tilt upwards and before I know it he rips out of my hold and lifts me up and slams me down to the mat as I try to get up he pins my hands behind my back and sits on my back and even though I can't see his face right now but I know he has that stupid grin on his face.

"And a one and a two and a three ding ding ding "he says imitating a bell ,"looks like I won princessa"he says as he lets me go and I look up at him trying to catch my breath as sweat drips down my hair onto my shirt and I see he also looks a little exhausted

Just when I'm about to admit defeat I look at his lips and see blood at the side and I say "on the contrary you said I couldn't land a blow on you but look right there Lorenzo blood "he looks baffled and touches his lip and sees the blood on his hand, he sighs sits down and leans on the ropes of the ring with his head down panting.

His hair covers his face so I'm unable to tell what expression he has until he starts laughing loudly and for a second I think he's gone mad until he stops laughing and looks at me straight in the eye maintaining eye contact,his gaze fixated on me as he pierces through my soul .

I feel goosebumps,I want to say something but I can't I just stay looking at him until he breaks eye contact stands up and stretches out his hand I take it and get up "good match Cecilia "and with that he walks out leaving me in the ring with only one thought.

'This man was insane'
