    ALINA’S POV.

    “Oh, please,” a feminine voice scoffed. “I fail to see what is so impressive about that.”

    We all turned in the direction of the voice to see a gorgeous-looking woman standing there. She was d in her workout gear, and I recognized her to be one of the women sparring earlier.

    “Well, for someone who hasn’t held a gun before in her life and the first time she does, she did amazing. I’d say this is fucking impressive.” Talia fired back. “Then again, nobody asked for your dead opinion.” She added in a sharp tone.

    “What did you just say to me?” The girl red, taking a threatening step forward.

    “Back off, Trixy. That’s the boss’s woman and her friend.” Jordan warned, getting in front of her.

    “And so what?” Trixy challenged, folding her arms defiantly.

    “Trixy… sounds like a stripper’s name.” I muttered to Talia, making her snicker.

    “What did you just say?” Trixy snarled, turning her re on me now.

    “I said, your name sounds like a fucking stripper.” I repeated, looking her dead in the eyes.

    What? Did she think I was scared of her just because it seemed like she ran things around here?

    Normally, I was one to avoid problems and confrontations, but I wasn’t about to allow her to intimidate me.

    “Jordan, get out of my way.” Trixy growled out.

    “Control yourself, Trix. The boss will skin you alive if you hurt her.” Jordan told her firmly.

    “Do I look like I give a fuck?” She yelled. “What? I travel for a month, and suddenly the boss cares about his deadass fiancée?” She scoffed, a bitter smile on her face. “Let’s not act like we all aren’t aware that the rtionship between the both of them isn’t that great. I mean, why else would he end up in my bed all the time?” She threw me a smug smile.

    It felt as though I had been punched in the gut.

    1 mean, I knew that Lucian wasn’t a virgin, and he had been with other women in the past, but hearing it still hurt.

    “Don’t listen to her, Ally. She’s trying to get under your skin.” Talia whispered, squeezing my hand infort.

    I was so d she was here with me.

    The expression on my face may not have changed, but I was a mess inside. I couldn’t help but wonder if Lucian had been with her after the engagement… or during those times I was making things hard for him, or all those times I would embarrass him and run away to spend time with Adrian.

    I wouldn’t me him. Trixy was gorgeous, I wasn’t going to lie, and she was strong too, definitely the kind of woman. Lucian would go for.

    I could feel my insecurities creeping in.

    Normally, people would back off at the mention of Lucian’s name, but Trixy didn’t even care. Why else would that be, if not that she meant something to Lucian?

    “Hit a nerve?” She mocked.

    “You little shit.” Talia snapped, making a move to get at her, but I grabbed her arm.

    This was my fight.

    “Why bother with someone that is only good for being a cum dump.” I told Talia with a bored tone, turning away and beginning to make my way out of the shooting range.

    Jordan’s mouth dropped open at myment, and Talia, being Talia, burst intoughter as she walked with me.

    When it came to verbal wars, I was the best at the game.

    “You fucking bitch!” Trixy growled from behind and tried to attack me, but Jordan wrapped his arm around her waist, holding her back as she kicked and screamed.

    “You look stupid being all hysterical over someone else’s man,” I pointed out, gesturing to how deranged she was acting. “If you want to talk, then talk, why are you trying to get all physical?” I scoffed.

    “At least I know how to pleasure your man well while you run around with your lover.” She fired back.

    Okay, that burned, I would admit, but I wasn’t going to let it show.

    “That’s not what he said to mest night though,” I shrugged casually. “Or this morning while his face was buried between my thighs.”

    I wasn’t a vulgar person, but since she decided to go low, I’d show her that I could go even lower.

    “I don’t believe you. Lucian would never touch you.” She growled, but the look in her eyes told me she didn’t even believe

    her own words.

    “I don’t have to prove anything to you, but I’m sure you’re not blind and can surely see the evidence all over my neck.” I took the hair tie from my wrist and put my hair into a high ponytail, exposing the faint but visible marks. “Trust me, the ones on my thighs are worse. Lucian can get carried away sometimes.” I chuckled softly.

    “Damn, girl, You are not showing her any mercy.” Talia muttered beside me.

    “Well, she provoked me first. I don’t owe her mercy.” I muttered back.

    “Let go of me, Jordan!” Trixy told him again, struggling in his grip.

    “Let go of her, Jordan.” I nodded at him calmly.

    “But ma’am-” He began to protest.

    “Just please do as you are told.” 1 cut him off.

    “Are you sure, Ally? I heard people whispering that she was the best female fighter here. You can’t fight her if she decides to get physical. Talia whispered in a worried tone,

    I bet she wouldn’t be so worried if she knew I could fight. I mean, I was trained by the best in the streets, I was sure I could

    handle Trixy if it came to that.

    “I’m sure, Talia. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.” I assured her softly.

    Jordan reluctantly let go of Trixy. Once free, she shoved him away and approached me in angry strides.

    Jordan moved to grab her again, but I raised my hand, stopping him.

    She wanted toe at me? Let her try. I was already pissed as it was, and the shooting range only calmed me a little. I

    needed an outlet, and right now, Trixy’s face was looking like a really good target.

    But to my disappointment, she stopped about two feet from my face.

    “You have no idea who you’re messing with, princess.” She said lowly, her eyes narrowed.

    “Oh?” I raised a brow. “Is there more to you than… all of this?” I gestured to her entire frame.

    If only she knew I wasn’t the easy-to-push-around Alina she had probably heard about anymore, she would not be

    messing with me.

    I had been burnt alive and forged again from fire.

    I would destroy anything that stood in the way of my revenge and my rtionship with Lucian.

    “Don’t test me, Alina.” She growled.

    “Or else what?” I asked, stepping closer to her. “Listen here, you rat, I’ve had about enough of you. Just because Lucian used you to wet his cock a few times…” I paused in thought, then added, “which I’m certain he used a condom, so it isn’t much of wetting if you ask me…” I said as an afterthought. “But just because of that, you think that gives you the right to speak to me however you like? Don’t for a second be fooled by my cute kitten appearance, because I have ws, baby girl. Sharp ones. And I’m not afraid to use them. You’re nothing but an employee of Lucian. And while I me him for mixing business with pleasure, men will be men, but know your fucking ce.” I finished, my eyes zing as I held her gaze, which briefly flickered with fear.

    The whole room fell quiet, my voice echoing around the space. Everyone was staring at me with newfound respect.

    Wait, did they really think that I was easy to bully?

    “Let’s go, Jordan. I’m done here.” I turned to Jordan.

    “I bet Lucian didn’t tell you where he was the morning after your engagement. Well, news sh, honey, he was here with me, and I must say-”

    That was it. She was asking for it.

    I veered back around and delivered a strong punch to her cheek, sending her straight to the ground.

    Chapter 86.

    There was a gasp all around

    And that was when all hell broke loose.
