CHAPTER 1:

ANASTASIA'S POV

Hi, my name is Anastasia Black, let me tell you a little about myself. My parents died during a war between them and another mafia but, I don't remember anything since I was very young when it happened. 34

I grew up on the streets without any food or shelter. Until one day this 16-year-old boy came and started teaching me street fighting. After a while we got pretty close, I had soon fallen in love with him. He taught me how to fight, so I could protect myself, we both got matching tattoos as a sign of our friendship but, suddenly the next day he disappeared. 23

I felt heartbroken but, I was used to it. Even after that, I am still thankful I met him because I used my fighting skills and got into a street fighting underground and that's where I get my income to survive. Him teaching me how to fight advantaged me in money and protection.

I've had many losses, I have scars that I learned from which earned my title as an undefeated champion for 3 years now. Currently, I am 20 years old soon to be 21.

I live in a penthouse, resulting from all the money I earned from fighting. I don't like to brag but I am kinda rich (joking I kinda do). 9

I got my education, I graduated with a master's degree in business, and tomorrow I start my job as a secretary for a big rich CEO whom I don't know and don't care about. They just got a new branch in my country. Therefore, I start working for the CEO tomorrow. 12

The only reason I'm going to start working is to cover up my true source of income. 2

Anyways, tonight is Sunday, I have a big match against another good fighter in the underground, so I have to start getting ready for my fight.

I took a shower and got into my outfit, grabbing my fighting clothes and putting them in a gym bag. I grabbed my car keys, got in my car which was one of my favorites, my Porsche GT3, and I tossed my bag in the backseat. 3

I grab a Starbucks coffee on my way just to boost up my energy. 

Then, I went to the underground. Once I arrived, I noticed it was empty. Thank God, but, it will get crowded in no time since the fight starts in half an hour. 1

People know me as the Black Wind. No one knows my real name and I like it that way. The less they know about you the better, I like my true identity hidden.

I went into my dressing room, I got into my fighting clothes, and I warmed up .Once I finished, It was time for my name to be called out informing me to get into the ring to face my opponent.

While I was waiting, I felt someone's eyes on me, I searched around, finally finding the person. I think he was the new fighter, they were talking about him. Apparently he calls himself 'The darkest shadow'. I'll admit he had one hell of a body but, since it was dark, I couldn't see his face. I didn't care enough about who he was anyway. I was still curious though. He looked like he had a huge ass ego on him, I could smell it from here. But you know what they say, don't judge a book by its cover.

As I was deep in thought, I heard the announcer say 'Black Wind', so, I got out to face my opponent.

The crowd was cheering my name and when they finally settled down, the bell rang which means we can finally fight.

Well, let's get this over with.

As I examined him, I noticed that his left side is weaker; just like most fighters. If I can get a good hit on his left side, I can get him on his knees. I'll kick him in the head and he'll get knocked out and it will be done. 25

He took the first punch with his right hand; leaving his left side open to my advantage. Just like that, I went along with my plan. In 30 seconds he was on the floor. Knocked out.

I got my money which was $20,000. Since he was a well-known fighter. I need a challenge I huffed, they are good, but, they just are slow, their training is sort of weaker than mine . . . I don't know. 3

I went into my changing room, grabbed my gym bag, and without bothering to change I went out into the crowd. I wanted to see the new fighter against the 'Stone', who's a big buff guy, extremely strong, and tall, but, slow because of his weight.

I heard the announcer say both their names. I watched as Stone stepped into the ring as the new fighter was following in after him.

Everything about him screamed 'I'm the boss' he looked so confident. He looked at the crowd winking at the girls, enjoying the attention. Then he looked at me and winked. Nope, not me baby. 6

As they both got into a fighting position, the bell rang. The new fighter's defense stance is very similar to mine, maybe he really is a good fighter? 8

He was scanning Stone with his eyes trying to find his weak spot. He found it, which was his right leg, pretty uncommon might I add, and he took the first hit.

He kicked Stone's right leg from the side. Since Stone wasn't quick enough he lost his balance and dropped to his knees. He then kneed Stone in the nose and jaw. Almost making Stone unconscious.

Keyword 'almost'.

The new fighter took him on his shoulders with a fast move and with that dropped him on the head, knocking him out.

He defeated one of the best. Wow, I turned my back and walked out. Taking one last glance at him, I saw him staring at me. Hmm . . . Interesting.

I got out of the underground and started walking home. It was pretty late like 12:00 am. I parked my car 5 minutes away. As I was walking, I felt a presence. I turned around but there was no one there. I continued my walk when suddenly someone pushed me to a wall.

I am not short, I am 5'10 but, this guy was about 6'5, which made me look really short. 31

Then, I realized who it was, that mysterious new fighter, from the underground. 1

"Can I help you?" I said looking at him straight in the eye.

"Nope princess, it's just that I have been searching everywhere for you and I finally found you," he said

Is he one of my enemies, toying with me?

"You know, it's very impolite to push people into a wall?"

"Sorry kitten," 10

"Leave me alone, the further I am away from you, the better,'' I said pushing him away

"We'll meet again," 3

"I hope not," I mumbled. 1

"I heard that." He said chuckling while he left. Great, my curiosity increased up another notch, and that's not a good thing either.

I got to my car, drove home, and slept 'cause I honestly needed some rest.

- Time skip -

I woke up because of my alarm, I honestly hate those things.

Today is the first day of my job and I have no energy.

I got up, took a shower, left my curly hair down naturally, and got into my classic outfit.

I then climbed into my Range Rover, I love my cars

I am one of those girls who loves cars, I am fascinated by them,some people say I was meant to be a boy, but, in the last seconds before my mother gave birth to me I changed my mind and decided on being 

a girl. Did you understand what I meant by that? If you didn't, I don't care, I'm not explaining it again. 14

I sped off listening to my 'Fast and Furious' playlist 'cause 'Fast and Furious' is life and also, where is the fun in driving slow? 13

Arriving on time, I got out of my car, locked it, and went into the building. I stopped in front of the secretary's desk.

"Hello, Miss, how may I help you?" she greeted,

"I'm the new secretary of the CEO, I start today,"

"Yes, of course, Miss Black your office is on the top floor. There are going to be two doors, the one with the secretary sign on it is yours,"

"Okay, Thank you," I said, smiling softly.

I got into the elevator and went up 50 floors. Yup, fifty god damn floors! FIFTY! 7

I finally reached the top floor, that took forever. I enter the room with the secretary sign hung up on the door.

Walking into my new office it's very neat and tidy. It is black and white. Not too big but, I loved it. All I had to do was put my things in their places and the office will be complete. 

I heard the phone ring, so, I picked it up, "Hello?" I asked

"Hi, the boss wants to see you,"

"Yeah, sure, I'll be right there, umm . . . but, what's his last name?" I question

"No one knows Miss Black, people refer to him as 'boss'," 1

"Oh okay, why? If you don't mind me asking," I question once more whilst being polite,

"No one knows why," Then, the line went dead. What's up with all the mystery lately? 3

I fixed myself and went to his office. I knocked at his door and a very husky voice replied, "come in" I did as he said and went in. When I walked in his back was facing me.

"Hello 'boss'? I am your new secretary," I used his nickname everyone gave him,

"I know," he said coldly.

"Yeah, right, so, you have a meeting in half an hour. Would you like me to do anything for it?" I said looking at the paper in my hand with all his meetings scheduled on it, trying so hard not to be rude.

Just when I looked up, I couldn't believe my eyes. I can't believe who it is. It's . . .
