D A R E D ?

"So this is the place you talked about having a peace of mind?" 

Genelia uttered eyeing the small messed up room with her raised eyebrows, her expressions weren't unamused. 

She absolutely looked unsurprised. 

There she was with her bodyguard who brought her to a soundless dark alley with not even a single soul around. 

In a small broken room, somewhere. 

Still in her uniform she had her hair tied up in a long ponytail, Alvaro scratched his neck shaking his head to her words, while looking down. 

He was never the type to talk much because of his timid cold personality but with Genelia he strangely coordinated quite well. 

Was she disgusted?' He thought for a moment. 

The place was very small and shabby. Genelia was a lady of mansion. She obviously never once saw such place in her life but surprisingly she wasn't having any weird expressions on her face. 

She rather seemed quite chill or she was pretending to be one? 

Places like this were new for her. Maybe it made her uncomfortable or worse irritated?

She might be despising the idea of him bringing her in there? But at that moment of time he cared no more.

Handling her something he just cleared his throat ditching formalities. 

Looking down to what he gave her, she saw a pair of trousers and a black oversized jacket. A man's clothing. 

He wanted her to disguise herself as a man? 

"The changing room is on the left!" He spoke feeling little heavy. 

Following the instructed way quietly, she soon came out wearing the given garments. 

Alvaro had his body leaned on the wall waiting, when she soon appeared in front of him. "You are good to go now miss!" 

Commenting formally, he put on a cap on her head to cover her hair and face, while leading her the way out of the small room. 

His hands were shoved on his pockets as he walked straight with her on the side. 

Calm silence surrounded the atmosphere around the two, Genelia never went out like that. 

Since childhood she was surrounded by the servers guiding and helping her in even the smallest thing but today she felt like having her own freedom. 

After a couple of minutes of walking more inside the same dark alley, she finally saw something. 

A club? 

"It's a place where I come to forget about my bad day!" He confessed getting little embarrassed. 

At this point the feeling of getting judged by her was again surrounding him. 

But rather something else caught her attention. 

"Bad day? Am I the reason of your bad days?" She chuckled at his said confession. All about Alvaro's job was to follow her around and protect her. 

He tags along with her the whole damn time so by his statement he unintentionally pointed her fault. 

"Miss, I didn't mean it that way-..." His eyes widened at her straightforwardness, trying to defend his statement he started explaining himself but her laugh stopped him in the middle. 

"Let's go. I want to see what do you do to get rid of your bad day!" With a hint of tease she walked ahead with him leaving behind feeling more embarrassed. 

Alvaro sighed in silent relief, at least for a fact she wasn't really disgusted of him! 

The club was not meant for girls, it was scary and weird. 

Creepy things decorated on the way and one or two men in all black looked quite dangerous. 

Alvaro walked with her closely while guiding her inside, lowkey he was still flustered to bring her there. 

That was the deadliest club for the gangsters, very few know about that place and that's what makes it ironic. 

Members of different gangs go there without caring about their identity. 

Though that wasn't a place where a girl so respectful like Genelia should go but today he wanted to bring her there. 

Maybe it will be the last time for her? Yes, it indeed is the last day of her freedom. 

And he just wanted her to have a little taste of life. 

He wasn't scared to bring her there to be honest. It was rather a small percentage of insecurity which got covered up with her male disguise besides he knew he will be there if any danger occurs. 

And also she wasn't so weak herself to not avoid any attack, she was a tough lady to deal with so he remained carefree. 

The smell of sweat and drugs were like an essence. Soon following her closely he brought her to a big boxing court. 

It mesmerised her guts. 

Her eyes were fascinated to look around the fight show, no wonder why he loved to be here. 

Good thing, she didn't judge the place too soon. 

Alvaro for a moment looked at her face eyeing the wrestling with her pleasing eyes. "Today you're not the young miss I know!" 

He mumbled to her as such for only her to hear. 

An ironic smirk formed on her face getting the meaning of his words. 

"I like it!"

A loud bell rang around the huge court hinting that the previous match got over. "NEXT FOR 500$. Against our beast, SIMBA!" 

The host proudly announced out loud as Genelia's eyes fell on Alvaro again with a hint of challenge and dare. "Win me the amount and I'll drive you back home!" 

She dared him, wearing a small smirk on her face which made Alvaro chuckle at her bold words. "You said it!" 

He clicked his fingers cockily before walking away from her towards the boxing ring. 

"I am in!" Alvaro yelled taking his black leather jacket off. 

Genelia smirked at the view of Alvaro ready to fight. He was indeed an man of his own desires. 

Wild and free. 

Today is the first day of her witnessing his this side. This was weird but true, he wasn't the type to talk much, instead he was always the quite and cold guy she knew. 

An Introvert you name it. 

They coordinated well because he understood her without even talking to her while she was the type to never meddle in his business. 

Though she sometimes used to boss him around but he never complained about it. 

"Kill him, kill him!" Cheers were loud and she scoffed at the anti audience. 

They wanted the match to be deadly now? but they had no idea, who was on the ring. 

Now she was more excited to see what he would do. 

Not one bit, she regretted sending him in.

"Kill him, kill him!" The cheers became more loud when the bell rang signalling the match to start. 

Alvaro fisted his hand but never attacked first. Another scoff left her mouth at his actions to not hurt anyone first, she can read him like a wide open book. 

The first one who attacked him was the man who was his opponent. 

And that's when Alvaro's eyes gained energy. Aggression and anger towards him raised in his body as he then started to fight. 

Watching all this from quite afar she remained silently busy when she suddenly felt someone bumping their arm on hers from the left abruptly. 

"Aye boy drop 10$ for the show!" A feminine cocky voice from the left warned her ears. 

Looking at the source of the sound she saw a lady on maybe on her 20s holding a box in her left hand while holding a cigarette up to her lips from the right one. 

She seemed like a member of some gang.

Clothes were weirdly ripped showing much of her skin purposely. Her hair was bright red and her bitchy makeup was quite annoying to look at. 

Putting her hand inside the jacket's pocket Genelia remembered she had a disguise of man plus she had no money with her. 

"I don't have any money!" Purposely making her voice deep she spoke as the lady in front of her made an annoyed face. 

"Then who fucking allowed you in, You beggar?" The lady yelled causing a disrespectful push to her making her body back off from her place. 

"Watch out!" Genelia spoke not appreciating the action, her voice was deep and obviously angry. It was her first time on a crowded place like this and behaviour like hers were obviously new for her. The woman, with her clothes ripped and weird get up was the first person in her life to talk to her that way. 

Also she dared to touch her violently. 

"Oh and what if I don't?" She ignored Genelia's warning with an arrogant scoff. Now pushing her shoulder more aggressively than before. 

She perked Genelia's temper causing her to be annoyed. 

Tearing her eyes from the scene of her bodyguard fighting in the ring, she moved her eyes upon the arrogant woman beside her and saw her disobeying her words. 

The thing she hated to the core was one's disrespectful attitude towards her. 

"You will regret it!" Genelia warned with her voice holding a valid warning now. 

"Oh boy, are you going to cry now? Then go call your mommy-..." A laugh of mock left the lady's mouth as she raised her eyebrow up and was about to push Genelia again but at that right moment Genelia held her hand and twisted it behind in an unpredictable second. 

The action took the lady off guard as the box she was holding fell down with a thud. 

The loud groan left her mouth when she felt the sudden attack spraining her whole arm. Genelia's force impressively numbed her whole shoulder in a mere second. "Ahhh!" 

The crowd who was busy in cheering now dropped their chill. Each and every attention fell on Genelia dealing with the lady while having no idea about who she was. 

Watching the show of Genelia twisting her arm was so terrific to witness. They all became quite. 

"I said you will regret it!" She spoke jolting the woman's body down skilfully to the ground abruptly making her groan more when her small body slammed the floor hardly. 

"Weak!" She scoffed under her breath witnessing the woman crying out in pain and unable to fight back her small attack, she somehow stood up from her ground and glaring at her angrily now. 

"You fucker!" She yelled taking something out of her pocket and it was a small knife. 

In an intention to stab her, the lady ran towards her but at the very moment Genelia dodged her knife making her frown dumbly. 

This was indeed one new show for Genelia but not weird. 

She knew well the street side gangsters are short tempered rebels. They talk the language of violence and seemingly she wasn't the type to be polite towards such people either. 

A mere girl like her can never harm her. 

Punching her face angrily she made her jaw bruise up and bleed the next second. The lady's eyes for a moment wore terror while backing away from her in defence. 

As Genelia shook her hand out of slight pain for punching her jaw too hardly. 

"You-You are dead now!" With her almost broken jaw the woman uttered with her shaking voice backing off in pain and then running away while palming her lower face. 

Genelia didn't understand the meaning of her words at that time but it wasn't difficult to get that, she threatened her that moment. 

She dusted her jacket and adjusted her cap more while breathing sharply. 

Looking at her red knuckles she was still feeling the pain. 

The force was indeed very hard. 

Still looking at her knuckles another big hand pulled her hand towards him. 

Alvaro's eyes were dark yet concerned as his thumb caressed Genelia's knuckles just to ease her hurting sensation when Genelia's eyes looked at him with slight surprise.

"Weren't you fighting?" She asked with her flat tone. 

Looking around she witnessed everyone's eyes from the crowd upon her and Alvaro. Even the fight has stopped and she didn't have any knowledge when. 

Now watching her all stunned the crowd of men started mumbling to themselves.

"We shouldn't be here, Miss!" Alvaro mumbled as she looked at him with her eyes blank. "That woman was a member of Garcia's." 

"No wonder why she was so proud!" She scoffed taking her hand back from Alvaro as he breathed sharply, seeing her feeling all unbothered. 

"Miss, Garcia's are... they are your in laws!"

Alvaro spoke with his hesitant voice more descriptively for her to get him correctly, as then his statement gained her eyes in pure shock. 

For a moment she forgot who Garcia's were... and what was her relationship with them! 

Meanwhile

"What is her name?" 

With his raspy voice, Alejandro finally said something earning both Mateo and Leonardo's ears. 

Looking at each other for a second they looked at Alejandro who was sitting with his eyes intimidating the air around them. 

The whole damn day he didn’t talk a single word now he asked about his fiancé? 

Mateo opened his mouth to answer his question when suddenly someone interrupted his voice, barging inside their VVIP room with her desperate steps. 

Crying out, Chloe opened the door without knocking it for once. "MASTER!" 

She sobbed feeling the taste of blood in her mouth. But entering inside he wasn't alone. 

With him 2 other people were sitting there too, his brothers... 

"Don't you know how to fucking knock-..." Leonardo angrily scolded her when Mateo cut his words off first with his voice, concerned. 

"Geez, what happened to you?" 

Alejandro's eyes quietly followed the lady's face and eyeing the view of her bloodied hand holding her bleeding jaw, he frowned. 

"Master, someone-someone attacked me!" She cried out narrating the whole incident back in the boxing court to Alejandro. 

Leonardo stood up at his ground angrily. 

"Who dared to raise his hands in our place that to in our man!" Leonardo yelled angrily. 

He was already frustrated regarding his grandfather's sudden announcement when another news made him perk his adrenaline rush. 

Mateo frowned in anger as well. 

It wasn't any normal thing to happen. 

The club was owned by them recently. It wasn't even a week when Leonardo bought it under the name of Garcia's and officially declared it as their own possession since then and the fact that someone literally attacked their man in their own place raised a question on their own dignity now. 

Who dared to do this when everybody clearly knew who is the new owner of the club. 

The Garcia's weren't easy to mess up with. 

"Let me check!" Mateo stood up angrily but Alejandro's deep husky voice cut him off. 

"I'll go!"
