(Alison P.O.V)295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWrNEW4vmG
"And the winner of this fight is Roxcy," the referee said, raising my hand in victory. I couldn't help but smile.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlLCw2rXJD
After that exhilarating victory, my journey in the ring continued. Fight after fight, I stepped into the arena, no longer underestimated by my opponents. It was as if the whispers of my previous triumph had spread through the ranks, a testament to the power of breaking stereotypes. This new chapter of challenges was both daunting and invigorating.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3IhRmxnVl
Gone were the smirks and dismissive glances. Instead, my opponents met my gaze with a steely resolve, a determination to match my own. They had seen what I was capable of, and they weren't about to let their guard down. As the bell rang, signalling the start of each match, I felt a different kind of energy, a heightened sense of focus that pulsed through every fibre of my being.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UQEkzlYJh
The fights became more intense, a strategic dance of skill and strength. Each punch I threw was met with a calculated counter, and every move was analyzed and countered with precision. It was a chess game of sorts, a battle of wits and physical prowess that pushed me to my limits. And I revelled in it.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9eNd1i1gz
There was a newfound satisfaction in the challenge, in knowing that I had earned the respect of my opponents. The fights were no longer just physical; they were mental and emotional tests that I embraced wholeheartedly. It was a different kind of victory, one that went beyond the cheers of the crowd and resonated deep within me.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKnzK2Ws0C
With each hard-fought win, however, came the toll of battle. My body bore the marks of combat – bruises that painted a vivid map of the fights I had endured. I couldn't help but chuckle to myself as I imagined my parents' reaction if they were to see me now.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw464bYRv5
*I would need to buy some more concealer to hide my wounds and bursaries from my parents so that, they won't freak out on me when they saw me,* I though stepping out of the arena.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe2CfYDnDW
The moment I stepped out, a rush of emotions enveloped me, only to be replaced by the warmth of a strong, unexpected embrace. Ethan and Ellia, my steadfast friends, wrapped their arms around me in a gesture of pride and camaraderie. The weight of their support was a balm to my weary body and spirit.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubS9wq4Brs
"You did a wonderful job in there," Ellie beamed, her eyes radiating genuine admiration.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt06VGOJGC
Ethan, ever the joker, chimed in with a smirk, "Any doubts about my friend being a fighting machine, Robbin?"295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxLmpkjKml
Robbin, who had been a skeptic before, now wore a smile that revealed a newfound respect. "No, not anymore. You've proven yourself. But remember, you've only scratched the surface. There's still a long way to go."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMe984upE6
His words held a mix of challenge and encouragement, a reminder that the path ahead was paved with both sweat and determination. "Don't worry," he added, his smile widening, "I'll be there to guide you every step of the way."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U7aMdSkm6
As the conversation settled, Ellia's gaze shifted to my bruises, her worry etched across her features. Concern radiated from her eyes like a protective shield. "Alison, your wounds look painful. Are you alright?"295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y4BoUut2y
I offered her a reassuring smile, my voice gentle as I responded, "It's nothing serious, really. A little medicine and rest, and I'll be good as new."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKaq4x5To8
Her worry subsided, replaced by a glimmer of relief. Together, we walked towards the reception area, ready to claim the rewards that came with victory.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhKQfeSTMb
Robbin bid us farewell, his words carrying the promise of tomorrow's training session. With a confident smile and a wave, he exited the club, leaving the three of us standing in the aftermath of another victorious fight. As he disappeared from view, I felt a renewed surge of determination – his guidance had become an invaluable compass on this uncharted path.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVIN6hgfdE
Ethan's question pulled my thoughts back to the present as we walked out of the club's entrance. "How are you planning to save the money you earned today?" he inquired, his curiosity piqued.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqLmPRry2U
"I was actually thinking of opening a bank account," I replied, my voice tinged with a sense of practicality. The idea of securing my earnings was becoming increasingly important as my victories piled up.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e4PgkyqIt
Ellia chimed in with a well-considered suggestion, "But perhaps it would be better if you open the account under a different name. That way, you can avoid unnecessary attention and questions."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOErvQzjogC
I nodded in agreement, appreciating her insight but hesitant about the idea of using fake documents. "But how can I do that without resorting to anything illegal?" I wondered aloud, my ethical compass firmly in place.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuexqEqf8Qx
Ellia's eyes sparkled with a solution. "I could open the bank account in my name for you. My income comes from being an author, and my mother wouldn't suspect any extra money flowing into my account."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7wWAGNTVi
The simplicity of her proposal resonated with me, and I found myself nodding in agreement. "That actually makes a lot of sense," I admitted, gratitude swelling within me for the bond I shared with these two friends.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjGQaEywAe
The rhythmic hum of the car's engine accompanied our journey back to the twins' mansion, the soft glow of city lights streaming through the windows. As Ethan skillfully navigated the streets, a conversation began to unfold, weaving threads of possibilities and caution.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyStFuDywYZ
"I think it would be better if we can invest the money somewhere to earn more than just keeping it safe in the bank," Ethan mused, his voice thoughtful.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHg92QHEgz
I considered his words, the idea of growth appealing to my practical side. Yet, before I could respond, Ellia's voice chimed in with a counterpoint. "But investing comes with its own risks, and time is not on our side. Alison needs to address her father's debt to loan sharks."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUR35vZVEf
Her words cut through the allure of potential profits, a reminder of the urgency that hung over my head like a shadow. The weight of my father's debts was a constant presence, a driving force behind my determination to succeed in the ring. I nodded in agreement, echoing Ellia's sentiment.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMKI5NYICH
"Yeah, she's right. We can't afford to take unnecessary risks," I added, my voice steady as I voiced my agreement.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvmuXOMJOZ
Ethan's response was swift, his voice carrying a reassuring confidence. "Don't worry, I'm not suggesting we invest blindly. There are some schemes offered by banks that provide a certain level of security. I'll look into them and let you know."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwaWIIz9QK
The tension that had briefly taken root began to ease, replaced by a renewed sense of hope. The prospect of making the most of my hard-earned money without compromising its safety was undeniably appealing. Ellia's skepticism, however, remained steadfast.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCgVChTlC4
"Just make sure you thoroughly investigate before we make any decisions," she cautioned, her concern laced with an air of protectiveness.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXJ1z2vsZh
Ethan's affirmative response carried a note of determination. "Of course, I'll do a deep dive into the options before presenting anything to you."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ5zS3qM9E
