Jackson's POV
Age 19

I look at myself in the mirror, gazing at the new cuts and bruises I have on my torso and face. I bite my lip and pull on a zip-up sweater. "Jackson." My mother calls me. Fuck, she'll see my- she barges into my room, instantly seeing my face. She freezes. "You went back there, didn't you?" She asks. I turn and walk towards my bathroom. "Jackson, answer me." She demands. "I have cuts and blood on my face, what do you think?" I ask. "I told you to stop going back there, you know it's illegal and you can get yourself killed. Just please don't tell me that you joined." She says.

She doesn't understand, I've found myself with the underground cage fights. For a long time I was on the sidelines and watching the fights that were so gruesome, I wanted to be apart of them. This is what I want, so, when I turned 19, I promised myself that I would enter the fights. I won my first fight tonight, a $2,000 dollar reward. The owner of the underground fights said that I'm young and that I have a lot of potentials. There's a tournament starting this week, and he thinks I should join since I'm old enough now. Of course, I couldn't let down the amazing offer. He instantly signed me up.

"Jackson, answer me... now." She sounds mad. "Mom, I don't want to be like dad. He works for Du Bongju, I don't want that. Do you understand that he has killed people?", "And you're hurting people." She rebuttals. "How is that anything different?" She doesn't understand why I'm doing all this, it's like I've become addicted to being a good fighter. Because that's what I want to be, I want to be a man who can defend himself. I don't want my mother to feel unsafe, though the fact that my father is a part of the mafia keeps her safe, I want her to feel that even after something were to happen and I can keep her safe.

"I told you that I don't want you to be a part of that community, this isn't what I want for my son." I turn away from her and start to walk into the bathroom again, this time she grabs my arm and causing me to whine in pain. "Is this what you want? Do you see what you've done to yourself? You're ruining your young body, and this makes me feel really sad for you.", "Feel sad for me?" I dig my hand into my pocket. I pull out my reward money and shove it in her hand.

"Do you see what I'm doing? I'm making myself a life, if I continue to win fights, I'm going to have everything that I didn't grow up, because of the mafia." She just stares at me in bewilderment. "And there's more where that came from, I've entered a tournament and I'm determined to win every single fight. So don't worry about me, because when I get enough money I'm moving out with my girlfriend and you'll never see me again."

"And you won't have to worry about looking after me like I'm some sort a child because that's not what I am. I'm a man, and staying in this house is showing me how less of one I am." I let her keep the money, I know that there's going to be more to come. I head into the shower to wash my wounds, I wouldn't want them to get infected or anything. The warm water makes me feel relaxed and burns my cuts. When I get out, I head back to my room with just a towel around my waist.

I then hear my phone ringing and I run to the side of my bed. Kym Jandi, the love of my life. I swear to God, I'm going to marry this girl. I pick up the phone, "Jackson, you didn't." I instantly frown, "I have to hear it from you too? Let me guess, she told you.", "Of course she told me, Jackson, she's your mother and she cares about you. And plus, she knows I can change your mind." I stare at the lamp on my nightstand, I hear her let out a breath.

"But, I know that I can't change your mind about this. I know that you love this, I know that you would talk about it nonstop. And I love you, so I support you." This is why I love this girl. "But Jackson, please dear God, promise me that you're going to win and you're going to try to get hit the least. I don't want you coming home unable to even see.", "I won my first fight tonight," I tell her with a smile, I sense her smile. "That's my boy." She whispers, "God, why does my boyfriend have to be obsessed with such a dangerous sport?" She whines.

"I love you," I tell her. She clicks her tongue, "Of course you do." I chuckle, "I love you too." She then says. "I want to see you soon," I say. "Okay." She laughs. I then drop myself on my bed and smile, "I just got out of the shower." I tell her. "Oh yeah?" She whispers. "Yeaaah." I bite my lip. "So does that mean that you're not wearing anything?" She asks. "Practically nothing," I whisper. She hums, "Aren't you going to tell me what you're wearing?" I ask her. "Nope, Goodnight Jackson." She laughs.

My jaw drops, I smack my hand over my erection. "You naughty girl! You made me all hot and bothered, you're not fair." I whine. "Got to go, byyyyyye." She then hangs up. I smile and laugh as I throw my head back. What am I going to do about this? I look down at my hard erection that's now pushing on my towel. Gosh, she's such a tease.

**

I went back every single night to fight in the underground cage fights, it became a lifestyle for me. It was very addictive, not the part where I beat the living shit out of people, but the winning. I'm on a winning streak, I hadn't lost a single fight. All the fights I was in prior to the tournament was practice, and I was on fire. I got the attention of many people. I was the new blood in the ring, and I blew everyone away with my skills, being that I have never done this in my life. All these skills came naturally.

When the tournament comes around, I'm more than ready. I found myself making my way up to the last three rounds, all the other ones were easy. I constantly had a wad of cash in my pocket, little did I know that entering the third round would change my life forever. My opponent, Ilhun. He was bigger than me, in height and in size, but speed wise, he looked a little slow. He had those types of hands that every time he closed them, they'd crack. "Fight!" Was announced. This guy ran at me, he was slower than I thought he was.

This worked to my advantage. I was able to find his weak spots, his left arm, his right foot. I worked that to my advantage as well. His first swing at me was with his left arm. I used the palm of my hand, jabbing it upward on his bicep as hard as I possibly could. Everyone could hear a loud popping sound. His bone had popped out of its socket. The mans screams filled the arena, which wasn't new. There were always screams of pain, but everyone looked scared for some reason. Have I done something wrong?

The more I searched peoples faces, the more I realized that they don't look scared, they looked terrified. I ignore the people and continue the fight, knocking Ilhun out cold. "Winner! Jackson Wang!" The easiest fight, I'd say. The owner of the fights hands me my wad of cash and I'm happier than ever. I'll be moving onto the second round. I have this thing in the bag, I can win this. I pull on my sweater and head to Jandi's house.

Authors POV
Later that night

A very wounded Ilhun walks into his house, whining like a dog. "What happened to you!?" Boomed in the house. "I was going to win." He tells his father. "What happened!? Why didn't you!? My son is a failure." His father growls. "The son of Du Bongju and you can't even win a simple underground fight. Huh... who was the kid anyway?" The Korean Mafia Leader asks his son. "Jackson Wang." Bongju stares at his son in disbelief, "Wangs son... hmm.. I didn't know the boy was into doing illegal things."

He looks at Ilhun, "And what do you want me to do about it? You're a loser." He tells his son. "I want him killed," Ilhun says. "But Hyungsoo Wang has kept great business with me, why should I kill his son just because you lost?", "Because! You're the Mafia leader and you can kill whomever you want!" An angry Ilhun yells. "I forbid it, I'm not killing Jackson Wang," Bongju announces to his son.

"That's unfair father!" Ilhun yells. "You need to stop being a sore loser." Bongju snarls. "I didn't raise you, coward, own up to the fact that you lost. End of discussion." The powerful Mafia leader Gu Bongju walks up to his son, popping his arm back into place, gaining a cry from the boy. Then he walks out of the hallway, leaving his weak son on his own. The boy moves his arm around before and stretches his neck. He wasn't going to let Jackson feel like he had won. It was Ilhun who was supposed to win tonight's fight.

"I don't care what my father wants, I'm taking this into my own hands. It's my own business after all." He tells himself as he walks out of the front door and begins to think up his own plan to end Jackson Wang.

Jackson's POV

"Baby, look at you. You're a mess." She frowns to the sight of me. "Baby, I'm fine. Look, it doesn't hurt, it's just blood." I say. "Whose blood?" She asks. "Well, not my own," I say. She then looks relieved. "Then you should take a shower." She tells me, I stand up and hold her hand. "You'll join me?" I ask, she smiles and looks up at me. "Noooooo." She says. I pull up her chin and kiss her lips. She uses her finger to push me away. "Jandiiiiiii," I whine.

"Jackson, you're all full of blood, what makes you think I want to be with you?" She asks me. "After my shower?" I ask. She raises an eyebrow, "Maybe." She says. I smile wide and kiss her again, before running off the to the shower. I had never taken a shower so fast in my life.

===============================

When I walk out she's standing at the side of her bed in a robe, it's opened and the middle of her chest to her left hip is in view. I hold onto the towel around my waist as I walk up to her.

"Jackson." She whispers when I'm up to her. I stare at her. "Don't wear a condom tonight." She says hesitantly. Did she mean? "You want to have a baby with me...?" I ask we had been talking about it recently. Ever since I gave her my promise ring we've been inseparable. I know what a lot of people may be thinking. I'm only 19 and that's young to want to start a family.

But it's different when you know you're in love, and you know it's what you want. She nods, "I love you so much, I want us to be a family... I'm ready." She tells me. I pull her close and bury my face into her neck. She hugs me back and pulls me into the bed. I hold myself up when she's laying down. I kiss her neck, slowly kissing down her chest. Using the tips of my fingers to move the robe out of the way, kissing her soft breast and gliding my tongue over her pink nipple. I suck on it for a second before I kiss the middle of her chest again.

I open her robe completely and I let my towel fall off of my hips and onto the floor, I direct my member to her heat. I kiss her lips as I enter her, her lips part and I slowly thrust into her. Our first time without protection, she feels amazing, her skin is soft and her walls feel tight and warm. It instantly encourages me to speed up, her hands running over my flexing back as I thrust deep into her. Her light quiet moans fill the room, I kiss her jaw and pull her body against mine.

I move my head to look at her face, her bottom lip pulled in between her teeth. Her eyes every once in a while closing, as her lips parted and she made a small sound. It only took seconds for me to hit my high, but I keep myself going for her. I dare not let her go off tonight without experiencing an orgasm, I refuse to let that happen. I dip my hand in between her legs, trailing my fingers under her entrance. Drowning my fingers in the mixture of her nectar and my semen. I then continue with deeper strokes, causing her moans to get louder.

Her walls tight, making it easy to get me hard again. My thrust getting faster again as I'm erect and fighting for relief. I use my smothered fingers to attack her nerve. Her legs grab onto my hips, causing me to basically go all on, balls deep. Her nails digging into my back. I feel myself on the edge again, I'm close. Her walls are tighter than ever around me and I get ready for her orgasm, holding myself to mine. I feel her body trembling. I make my fingers go faster, bringing her to her peak.

I kiss her lips, she finally hits her high and I'm proud of myself. She lays back comfortably as I take my last thrusts before having my second orgasm. I kiss her neck, trying to catch my breath. She lifts her hands and moves my hair out of my face, she smiles and kisses my lips.

===============================

"After I win this tournament, we're moving in together and we're getting married," I tell her. Her face lights up, "Okay." She whispers. We then lay in bed together, holding each other and talking about random things like we usually do. I couldn't ask for anything more.

**
•Last Day of Tournament•

As expected I move onto the last round of the tournament, little did I know, I'm playing the Devils game. It is obvious that I am very clueless about all this.

"Today! We are here to see who makes it out alive!" The owner of the underground cage fights announces, catching me off guard. "Wait, What?" I ask, making many men laugh in the crowd. But he ignores me, "Our first opponent, only 19 years old and won every single fight, Jackson Wang!" Everyone starts to cheer. "And on this side of the ring, Karm Hoje."

I stare at the man on the other side of the ring that I have to apparently kill. He's huge, I definitely can't take him out. Unless I tire him out, I don't think this will work. I've hyped myself up too much, this is where the line ends. I'm going to die tonight. I turn to the owner, "You never told me about this." I tell him. He stares forward, not even looking at me. "It's a new rule for tonight, I've been paid." I look around the crowd for a person who would seem happy about all this. I set eyes on a familiar man, the guy from the last third round?

Who is he? He smiles, "I can't kill a kid." I hear Karm Hoje, my opponent. "He's not a kid, he's a man, that's why he joined this community." The owner says coldly, not feeling any sort of sympathy for me. Why would he? He still gets his money. "This is cheating," Hoje says, he's trying to make this fight fair. But even then, it wouldn't be because of our size difference. "I'm the owner and I'm telling you that it's a fight to the death, so now you listen to me before another person will take your place and you'll never be welcomed here again. Someone will take your life if you don't." The owner hinting that whoever paid him for this sort of fight would kill him, then take his place to kill me.

"Yes, sir." Hoje bows to him, he then meets my eyes. He looks sad, he didn't look so mean after all, or tough even. Maybe he had children, maybe he's a father. I see that in his eyes, he doesn't want to do this. I guess this is what I get for disobeying my mother, she told me not to come here and I did. If I would have listened to her I wouldn't be in this situation. "Let the fight begin!" The owner announces. He then leaves the ring, and for the first time since I've ever set foot in this ring... I become terrified as the cage lowers. Hoje and I go to our rightful spots on the ring.

I feel my head pounding, everyone could probably see my chest elevating. The bell for the fight to start rings and I feel my stomach drop. I'm already breaking out in a sweat. I can at least try to take him down, I'm not going to kill him. He slowly makes his way to my side of the ring and I swiftly walk away from him. "Kill him!!!" I hear over and over in the crowds, I don't know who they're referring to, but I think they're saying it so we can start hitting each other.

Hoje lunges forward and throws a punch, I dodge it only to have his other fist clock me on my right cheek. I'm dazed, I'm stumbling a bit as I get away from him. People are cheering, I feel the blood slowly sliding down my cheek from the new gash I have. Now that I see he's going for this, I get into my fighting mode. I shake off my dizziness and hop a couple of times before I go in with a kick to his ribs. He groans as expected, I've knocked the air out of him. Right after the kick to the ribs, I follow that with a kick to the face.

He's stumbling, so I grab his right shoulder and punch his gut several times. I then feel a strong force pull me forward, I look up only to see his head fly down towards mine, head butting me. I feel extremely dizzy now, no shaking this away. I feel the skin of my forehead tear open before he tosses me on the floor of the ring. My eyes continue to roll in my skull, I'm done for. This is the end of me, I'm such a failure. Such a quick fight I'm ashamed, I feel a weight on top of me. I finally open my eyes and as expected Hoje is sitting on top of me.

"I'm sorry.." He whispers, and it looks like he's going to cry. My eyes begin to burn as the blood from my forehead enters my eyelids, I shut my eyes. My face flies to the side several times with great force I'm afraid my neck would snap. With every punch to my face, he did I could feel my skin pulling apart creating new wounds. What am I doing? Why am I acting like I've lost? I open my eyes and before he can punch me again I use my arm to direct his punch to the ring.

I pull up one of my legs from under him and fly my heel to his face, with such force and pressure I feel his nose snap. I pull my other leg up while he's dazed and use both feet to kick him in the stomach, causing him to fly back. I get up quickly since he's a large man, he was barely affected. I use the back of my hands to wipe the blood away from my eyes. "I'm trying to help you." He whispers through gargles of his own blood, I've definitely broken his nose. He lunging toward me. He grabs my arm and I reverse it, kneeing him in the gut and elbowing him in the throat.

I can't imagine how my face looks, I can no longer see from my right eye. "What do you mean you're trying to help me? You only want to win, you want the money. You're going to kill me." I can barely even talk, my words only coming out as slurs. I sound like a drunk person. "I'm not going to kill you, idiot." He palms my chest, we've been standing around way too long, people will catch on.

I hold onto the rope of the ring and spit mouthfuls of blood on the material of the floor under my feet. The ring looks like an animal has been slaughtered, this is all my blood. I then feel his arm around my neck, I begin to panic. "Shhh, I'm only putting you to sleep. Everyone will think you're dead." He whispers in my ear, he has to be lying. I keep fighting, elbowing him in the stomach as hard as I could. The pressure of his arm tightening around my neck is making my eyes throb.

Soon I'm gasping for air and a single push of Hoje's hand, I'm in out like a light. Everything goes dark, and I feel like my body is falling.

**

"Open your eyes, boy." I hear in my head. When I barely open my eyes they shut due to the light. "Thank goodness." I finally open my eyes. It's the owner of the fights, I'm beyond pissed. "Calm down, this was part of our plan. The man who paid me wanted you dead, Hoje here came up with the idea." I see Hoje standing over me. "You have to leave immediately." He tells me. Damn, I feel bad about his nose. "How?" I ask in a raspy voice.

I hear a zipper being zipped up and turns out I'm already in a body bag, "Calm down." I hear Hoje's voice. I take deep breaths. "Where should I take you?" He asks. I then give him the address to Jandi's apartment, I don't remember much after that.

**

"Jackson." I hear my name, "Kid, wake up." I then sit up and I'm in the back of a van. "What apartment did you say you wanted to go to?" Hoje asks. "Why?" I ask. "I heard screaming." I begin to panic. "Jandi." I cry, getting up and heading to the door of the van. "It's not safe." He tells me, but I don't care. I then get an idea. "Call Gu Bongju," I tell him before running out of the van and to Jandi's apartment. I can barely even see or move, but I'm running as hard as I could.

When I make it to her floor I hear her screaming, my heart is pounding and I run harder. When I get to her door I see that it's already been kicked down, it's only cracked open. I open the door and I see several men holding her down. "Jandi!!!!" I scream at the top of my lungs. Her clothes torn and her undergarments in view, but she looks like she's put up a fight just like I taught her. "Jackson!!!!" She cries as she tries to yank herself out from the men's grip. I run up to them and punch into one of the man's face, only to have the other man toss me back like I'm nothing.

"Stop!" I hear a mans voice, a familiar man walking into the living room. The man I beat and the man from the underground cage fights. "I should have known Kong Hun wouldn't do as I said, even after I paid him." He's talking about the owner of the underground cage fights. "You look so scared." He frowns as one of his men holds me down. "Is it because I found your girl? It's not very hard when your father is a part of my fathers Mafia." He chuckles.

I stare at him in disbelief, "Gu Bongju is your father." I whisper. "Don't see the resemblance?" He laughs, I spit blood in his face. He lifts a fist but I'm not scared. "Jackson.." I hear Jandi, he then smiles, lowering his fist. He's not going to do what I think he's going to do, is he? "Pick him up." He tells his men. I'm yanked up, "Sit him in a chair." He demands I fill with anger as he walks over to Jandi on the floor who's being held down by the other man.

"NO!!!" I yell, my body shaking before I'm forced to sit down. I feel a ball of emotion build up in my throat. "Can you still see?" Bongju's son asks me, he grabs Jandi by her hair making her stand up. She kicks and punches at him, "DON'T DO THIS!" I yell. "Hold her down on the couch." He orders the other man, he follows the orders and holds Jandi down on the couch. I can't stop myself from crying, my baby girl. She doesn't deserve this. "Jackson." She cries. "I'm sorry baby." I drop my head.

She then screams as I hear cloth being ripped, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I then hear a slap. "Make him watch." I hear his evil voice. My hair is pulled on and I'm forced to watch this man rape my Jandi. I watch with tears in my eyes. "Cry for him!" He slaps her face. "Jackson!" She cries, making me whimper like a dog in pain. "YOU LIKE THAT BITCH!? HUH!!?" He yells as he as he pounds into her hard, she cries in pain. I try to yank myself away from this man, but I'm too weak from all the damage I've taken on.

She's able to get one of her arms out and she throws a punch at Bongju's son's face. It sounded pretty hard too. "Fucken BITCH!" He yells and does what I'm least expecting. He pulls out of her and yanks a gun out from inside his coat and shoots her in the chest. I'm then let go and I fall to my knees, I quickly get up and running to her. "No no no no," I whisper over and over again as I held onto her. She shuts her eyes and cries. "I'm here baby," I say, covering her naked body with hands and arms.

"This is all my fault," I tell her, shaking my head. "It hurts." She whimpers, tears stream from my eyes. "Baby, I'm sorry," I tell her. "I love you." She says looking at me with those beautiful eyes. "I love you Jandi." She lifts her hand and cries more to the sight of my face. "Jackson, your face." She then takes on a pale color. "Don't worry about my face," I tell her. She sniffles and pulls my neck before she connects our lips. I feel her gasping against my lips, I hold her tighter and cry a little harder. "I love you... I love you..." I tell her.

Her body then falls into me and she doesn't move after that, I shake my head repeatedly. I don't think I've ever cried so hard in my life. I hear a chuckle, and I pick up my head. "WHY!!? Why couldn't you just do it to me!? Why did you have to kill her!? Why didn't you just kill me!?" I yell at the top of my lungs, my throat hurting from all the emotion and from crying. "Go with your bitch." He points the gun at me, and I don't care. "Ilhun! Don't you dare!" I hear a loud voice, I turn my head and see Bongju, his father.

"F-Father... I-I-", "You disobeyed me, I told you to leave the boy alone. I have business with his father, and you go off and do this. You disappoint me.", "He-", "He beat you in the cage fight and you're so much of a sore loser that you use my power as an excuse to kill innocent people. I thought I raised you better, but obviously not." He says. "Father! I can do as I please!" Ilhun yells. "And so can I," Bongju says as he pulls out a cobra revolver and points it at his own son.

"You wouldn't kill me, I'm your son," Ilhun says. "And you've killed someone's daughter, you know that's not what our Mafia is about. We're supposed to protect.. and you've done the opposite.", "Father...", "Then put down the gun," Bongju says. I look at Ilhun and he just stares down at me with such hate, just because I beat him? What a horrible way to get back at someone, killing the one they love. He still doesn't put the gun down. He's about to put his finger on the trigger when a loud bang fills the air and Ilhun falls to the floor.

His own father just killed him, I turn and look at Bongju. "I apologize for my son, I will pay for her funeral in full if you'd like." He says I stare at him, my eyes slowly watering again. "You know how to contact me." He says before walking out, the men who came with his son follow him out. I drop my head and hold her, her body is already stiff.

**

I stare down at the shiny black coffin as it lowers into the ground, I dig my hands into my pockets. It's a dark gloomy day, it's raining and everyone is holding black umbrellas. I don't have one, I don't need one. I don't care if I get wet from the rain. I let out a shaky breath and lift my hand to pull the single red rose from my coat, I set a kiss on it before I drop it into the hole. It falls on top of the pile of white roses that sit on top of her coffin. My rose being the only red one, I look up at the men that are ready to drop dirt into the hole and nod.

I slowly turn on the balls of feet and walk away from the burial site. All her family already leaving in their cars, they all know it's my fault. I don't even have a car, maybe I'll walk to a nearby park. There's a man standing across the way from me with a black umbrella over his head. He's wearing a black suit, the umbrella shadows his face and I can't figure out who it is. I stop in my tracks, what if he's here to kill me? Should I even care? "Jackson Wang." He says. He knows my name, I slowly walk up to him.

"I've been watching you, Jackson." He says, and I finally see his face. "My name is Oh Sehun and I have a company that I think you'd be perfect for, I need people like you on my team." He instantly catches my attention, I completely drop the fact that he just said that he's been watching me. "What kind of company?" I ask. "Are you in?" He asks not even explaining to me what his company is. "I asked what-", "Are you in or not?" He asks.

"Yeah?" I answer unsure. "Perfect, come with me." He says I follow him down the driveway to a limo I hadn't even noticed was there. He opens the door and I hesitantly get in, he gets in after me. I've never seen a limo like this, "Welcome to WPP, Jackson Wang. Agent W. Case 28." The limo says. I look at this Sehun guy, "I'll give you the basics." He starts.

I never knew that such disaster could result in rebirth and growth in who I am. I'd honestly be dead in a ditch somewhere. Jandi would be proud of me knowing that I save people.
