The Mystery Fighter II

In the underground fighting circuit, she's Roxy: a fierce, enigmatic brawler whose fists speak louder than words. By day, she's Cassie, a high school student fiercely guarding a secret: she and her younger sister, Celine, are adrift, living hand-to-mouth. When an unexpected offer of shelter comes from Julian, a classmate, Cassie must navigate a fragile new reality. But secrets rarely stay buried, and the shadows of her past and the fight ring are closing in. Can Cassie protect Celine and find a stable home, or will the truth about Roxy unravel their fragile new life?

The humid air clung to Cassie like a second skin, a heavy blanket under the blazing sun. Perched precariously on the side of her motorcycle, the black helmet dangled between her knees, its straps a familiar comfort under her restless fingers.

Her eyes, hidden behind dark sunglasses, scanned the peaceful river below, a glittering ribbon winding its way between distant hilltops. It was a stark contrast to the image that burned behind her eyelids—Kingston’s face, etched with shock and recognition, from their last fight.

Taking a cigarette from her jacket pocket, she lit it, inhaling deeply, the smoke a thin veil against the serene landscape. She knew Kingston was the type to dig, to pry, to demand answers. And she, against her better judgment, had given him some.

Now, here she was, on a quiet hill with Celine, trying to outrun the echoes of that encounter, the whispers of her double life.
