**** SKYLAR'S POV

I tap my feet impatiently on the ground with the shopping bags tucked under my armpit and the rest laying on the floor as I wait for Marie to pay the cabdriver. Done, she walks towards me and grabs the rest of the shopping bags from the floor. We proceed towards the apartment.

"Do you know why Julian called and asked us to return all of a sudden?"

Marie asks as I push the door open with my feet. I shrug, dumping the bags onto the dinning table.

"I have no idea Marie"

I reply, darting my eyes around in hopes of finding Cameron . He emerges from the kitchen with an apple in hand and Julian in tow.

"Hey. We are home now. Everything okay?"

I approach him.

"Yes princess. Everything is fine. I just needed someone to take care care of Sean while we were gone" he answers taking a bite of his apple.

"Gone? You going somewhere?"

"Yes. I need to go take care of something at the office"

"Oh...." I nod, eyeing the apple in his hand.

"Okay, let me just prepare something very quick for you. You seem hungry. I'll be quick" 

I sidestep him and begin to make my way towards the kitchen when he grabs my elbow, stopping me

. I turn.

"You don't have to"

"I'll be very quick. Just give me fifteen minutes and I'll be done..I.."

"Skylar"

he cuts me off. I blink. Why does he seem agitated?

"Really it's fine. I'm not hungry. I just needed something sweet to eat"

Sweet? Really? Is that the best he could come up with? I can totally see he's lying to me.

"Ugh..Cameron? We need to leave"

Julian interrupts, tapping his wrist watch for emphasis.

"Yeah... We need to get going. I'll see you soon princess. I Iove you"

he pulls me for a hug and I wrap my arms around his torso.

"I love you too. Please stay safe"

"I will...make sure to lock the doors and don't let anyone in until my return"

he pecks my lips and pulls away.

"Why are you talking like that? Is anything the matter?"

"No..just taking safety measures. Bye"

he replies hastily and was out the door in a second. I furrow my eyebrows, staring at the door. What's up with him? Cameron is never in a haste. He was always calm, calculated.

"Mom!"

The loud shriek snaps me from my thoughts and I turn eyeing my little bundle of joy.

"You're still in your school uniform?"

His shirt was half buttoned and his belt was hanging off his waist. He grins scratching his head.

"I was feeding my pet fish!"

I raise an eyebrow.

"Your what?"

"My pet fish mom"

he says like it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"Come, I'll show you"

he grabs my hand and drags me forcefully towards the living room. "Look! Dad got it for me!"

He points to the glass that was seated on the table at the center of the room. I move closer and kneel in front of it, watching the littie fishes swim about.

"Oh...wow... Dad got that for you?"

I'm astonished.

"Yes.. And look at this mom"

he points to a can with pictures of goldfish on the label.

"Dad says I should feed my pet fish with it. He says I can't feed them pickles"

he pouts and I laugh.

"Fishes don't eat pickles Sean. But they eat shrimp. You like shrimp too right?"

He nods.

"Then when I prepare you some food with shrimp, you can save some and feed your pet okay?"

"Okay mom"

"Alright, Go take off your clothes and then we'll feed your pet together okay?"

He was out of my sight in an instant, sprinting towards his room.

"Alright, as much I would like to stay and watch these fishes swim and gush, I'm hungry and I can't do anything when I'm hungry"

Marie groans behind me and I roll my eyes, straightening up.

"Come on, let's go"

I drag her onto the kitchen with me. Later when Cameron returns, I'd thank him for this beautiful gift he got Sean.

CAMERON'S POV

After parking the car, I kill the engine and alight. Julian does the same. We enter the club and Instead of entering the secret doors at the far end that leads into the arena, I stop by the bartender and beckon towards him.

"Give me your strongest alcohol"

I mutter, taking a seat on the barstool.

"What the f*ck are you doing Cameron? You know you're not the nicest of people when you get drunk. Have you forgotten what happened the last time you got drunk?"

Julian hisses in my ear. Of course I haven't forgotten. I could never. I'm such an asshole. But I'm worse when I'm drunk and that's exactly what I need right now before I go in there.

"I haven't forgotten Julian. Right now I need an alcohol in my system"

I nod at the bartender when he brings my drink. I grab it and tip my head back, downing the entire drink. I slap the glass onto the counter.

"Another one"

"Cameron!"

Julian hisses again. I Ignore him, watching the bartender refill my glass. My phone buzzes in my pocket. I ignore that too. Julian's cell phone rings a second after mine stops buzzing and he pulls it out, letting his eyes scan over the screen.. A moment later he raises his head up to glare at me.

"What?"

I shrug, downing my glass.

"Michael has been trying to get hold of you. Why arent you answering the phone?"

"Well you answered yours didn't you?"

"Cameron!"

He groans.

"What? We both know what he wants to say. That we are late and Park is gonna get mad that we are showing up late and blah blah blah..."

"You know it yet you still sit here comfortably drinking? Cameron you don't want to piss Park further than you already have. There's a reason Michael texted you to tell you Park has arranged your match with some guy we don't even know. Park doesn't..no let me rephrase that, Park never arranges matches between fighters so if he's done this, then that means there's an ulterior motive"

"You think I don't know that? This so-called match is just a facade. A ploy to get me down here so Park can do whatever he's planning"

I slap the money unto the counter and get down from the barstool. We make our way towards the secret door.

"So you do know Park is planing something"

Julian asks, flashing our IDs to the hefty men at the door. They nod, moving away to let us in..

"Of course I do. And he's not the only one planning anything"

I reply, walking down the dark narrow hallways. It's been long since I last came here. "You're planning something and didn't tell me?"

Julian snaps.. I don't reply. I don't need to. Of course I have something planned but I'm not involving Julian or my wife. I'm not going to endanger anyone else. This fight is mine. I plan on letting myself get caught by none other than Park. Michael approaches us the moment we reach the ring. He was furious.

"Dammit Cameron, you're late! Get changed. The match should have started ten minutes ago"

he scolds and I roll my eyes, pinching the back of my shirt and pulling it up my head. I drop it on the floor. I unzip my jeans and pull it down leaving me in my shorts. I throw my jeans at Julian.

"There, I'm ready"

Both men blink at me in surprise but I ignore them and head into the ring.

"Remember, Park has placed a huge amount of money on your head. He's confident you're going to win so do not disappoint"

Michael warns getting into the ring. Of course that's something Park will do. But I can't win. Looking at the hefty looking man who's supposed to be my opponent, I know I can beat him. Hands down. If Park had paired me with him then it means there's definitely going to be some foul play. Park will be stupid to place a bet on me. I'm his enemy and you don't place bets on your enemy unless you know it will bring you victory in the end. He knows I win. I always do. But with this particular match, he knows I'm going to lose and I'm going to give him just that. Losing is the only way to get to Park. I barely hear when the whistle is blown for the match to begin and cheers erupt all around in the arena. I glance at my hands. I'm not wearing my gloves. I don't need to. My opponent swings at me. I see the move. I don't duck, neither do I make an attempt to block his hit. I stand idle as the man's fist connects with my jaw. Hard. I bite down on my lips hard so I don't groan. F*ck. I've never allowed myself to be hit in the face since I started fighting, but today I have. I have to do this. Another blow comes my way and I groan. Blow after blow, I stand idle. I feel blood trickling down my forehead now. My opponent swings his leg and I see it coming at my head. I wait. This is gonna hurt. And f*ck it did. I find myself falling on my face when his feet connects with the side of my head. Dizziness hits me. From the corner of my eye, I can see Julian yelling at me to get up. The crowd yelling, cheering for me to get up. But I won't. I have to do this. For Tracy, for Skylar and Sean. I eye my jeans which Julian was now holding. I hope he sees the clue I had purposely left in my jeans. I hope he sees it. My friend is smart and once he sees what I left in the pocket of my jeans, he'll know what to do. I groan, spitting blood and turning on my side. My opponent was coming at me. His hand was in his shorts now and I shake my head. I knew it. Park will never bet on me without planning something. He had planned to capture me today using this match as a facade and I plan on making it easier for him. I catch sight of the syringe. Great. Now he's going to inject me with it and I'll most like fall unconscious, and the next time I regain consciousness, I will be tied to a chair. Typical. I just hope my plan doesn't fail. My opponent raises his fist in a bid to hit me with the final blow but I could see the sharp needle of the syringe poking from his fist. I brace myself, ready, when suddenly I spot Park in the crowd. He was smiling. But he wasn't alone. My eyes dart beside him and my heart lurches. F*ck no! No no no! What is she doing here? In New York? She's supposed to be In Ghana. F*ck. I struggle to get on my feet.

Read " Daddy's Girl " by the same author ( eliza )

. Everyone was leaving the arena now and I'm sure Park had something to do with it. F*ck! I struggle to get up. I can't let myself get injected with that syringe. Hell no! I need to get to her. Dammit! I didn't plan for this! No. F*ck! She's supposed to be in Ghana! I struggle, my head f*cking hurts. The woman with Park was struggling to get free. She had seen me and was yelling my name as Park hit her. Dammit! How come she's In Ghana?! F*ck, that slimy bastard! He got my mother! No not her. Not her! I didn't plan for this. "Mother!" I scream just as a sharp thing prickles my neck and I slump into consciousness.
