Is this destiny?

"Aaaaand this is the fifth consecutive win for the enchanting Nyx! Ladies and gentlemen, for those of you who placed bets on Nyx, this is a good time to go and collect your winnings! Fifth consecutive win! This is the time when we start talking about challenging our champions…", announcer excitedly yelled into the microphone while two people dragged unconscious loser out of the rink.

Man in a black suit approached the open door of the arena enclosure and looked at Sarah. "Young Miss…", he handed her a bottle of water and retreated.

'Thank you.', Sarah mouthed while looking at the booth enclosed in glass.

She knows that Aiden can see her clearly because Eve informed her that second pair of lenses is active. And she can see him as well, sitting right behind that glass.

Aiden's gentle gaze is directed at her and he responded with a barely noticeable nod while mouthing: 'You are welcome.' 

The fact that Jade and Amber are standing further away from Aiden and staring at her, made her happy. It seems that those two realized that they should keep their distance from her fiancé. But unfortunately, both of them already made offenses, and Sarah has no intention of cutting her plan short. They will be punished and used as an example for what happens to women who are coveting her man.

Sarah noticed a note attached to the bottle: 'Stay hydrated.'

She smiled and her heart was full knowing that Aiden is watching over her.

…

In the VIP room…

Aaron is rubbing his eyes, and pinching himself occasionally, unable to believe that is Sarah on the TV… down in the arena. How is that possible? His sweet, delicate Sarah? She just beat up brutally five people who are strong and bulky and… unconscious. The fourth one had it worst. It seems that he said something to provoke her, and she didn't knock him out immediately… Sarah broke his leg and few ribs first. The man's screams were horrible… and what was even more scary is that Sarah enjoyed it. She smiled at the fully grown man who wept like a small child. Ruthless.

Aaron's attention got pulled toward the door. There were some voices coming…

Aaron scrambled for the remote, turned off the TV and hid the remote under the seat cushion of the sofa. He does not want others to know that the one fighting down there is Sarah.

He did it just in time. The door opened and Henry and Thomas entered.

Thomas and Henry had difficulty containing their curiosity.

"Since when you have connections to get us in this kind of place?", Thomas asked suspiciously.

"And in a VIP room?", Henry added with awe.

Aaron smiled mysteriously. Eh, if they knew how he got this room, they would probably not come.

"Menu is on the table, see what you want to drink.", Aaron told them.

A minute later, the door opened again, and Liam, Noah and Paul entered.

Liam looked at Aaron and made a face. "I didn't know that you are this influential. Even the bodyguards at the door… Impressive."

"I arranged for the security so that no one disturbs us." Aaron put on his best smile while crying internally: 'Those bodyguards are there to prevent us from leaving…'

Voice boomed from downstairs: "Aaaaand this is the sixth consecutive win for enchanting Nyx! Ladies and gentlemen, for those of you who placed bets on Nyx, this is a good time to go and collect your winnings! This elegantly deadly lady needs four more wins…"

"Ah, there is a fight downstairs?", Noah stood up and looked at the arena. "Wow! A girl? And she looks so small compared to the guy who is being dragged out…" He excitedly bobbed his head.

Noah turned to his companions in the VIP room. "Should we place a bet on the next fight?"

"Why don't you wait to see who the opponent is, first?" Paul walked next to Noah and looked down. "Yeah, she looks small. My money is on the next guy who comes in."

Noah snorted. "Don't judge people based on size. My Mistress proves that a much smaller opponent can take you down. And do you see this Nyx? They just announced, it's her sixth consecutive win!"

Aaron got nervous thinking that they might recognize Sarah. "Hey, we are not here to gamble!"

Noah and Paul exchanged glances and returned to the sofa.

Aaron's phone vibrated. He checked it and large numbers were showing a timer counting down from 30 minutes. Aaron smirked. Sarah told him that she will give him 30 minutes to settle his score with Patrick.

A second later, door opened, and Patrick entered with Madison.

Madison was high on thought that she will get useful information on Aiden from Aaron, but as soon as she spotted Liam, she got consumed in rage. "You! Bastard!"

"Watch your mouth, slut!", Liam spat back.

"It's all your fault!", Madison rushed to Liam, ready to scratch his face.

SLAP!

Liam slapped Madison hard, stopping her in the spot.

"How uncultured…", Liam looked at Madison condescendingly. "You call me names? You want to attack me? What for?"

Madison was holding her aching cheek while her eyes filled with tears. "It's all your fault. Because of you my father's business is ruined. Do you know that I'm forced to look for a job?!"

Liam snorted. "Because of me? How is that my fault?"

"It is all because of Whites! They are getting their revenge because Aiden was drugged!", Madison raged.

"Do you hear yourself? Let me ask again: how is that my fault? Am I the one who drugged him and tried to sleep with him? I heard that it's not that you failed to sleep with him when he was out of it, but you went and accused him of raping you!" Liam leaned close to Madison. "Now, answer the question, whose fault is it? Do you think you are the only one suffering? My family's business is gone! Even my uncle filed for bankruptcy! And do you know that I came here from the hospital? My father lost a leg, my brother is in jail, and my uncle's marriage is falling apart because of some ridiculous scandal… Of course, all those might be coincidences, but it is awfully a lot of coincidences in only two weeks!"

"Calm down, Liam!", Paul said while pulling Liam back toward the sofa. "We are all in the same boat. That is why we are here. To talk it out and see if we can do anything about it."

Liam looked at Paul. "What do you mean? What can we do about it? My whole family is falling apart, income sources are gone. How can I fix that?"

Paul shrugged indicating that he does not know. "Aaron called us here. Maybe he has an idea."

Everyone turned to Aaron.

Aaron smiled and pointed at the menu on the table. "First, let's order drinks."
