speakers. I start a little different version of what I do on stage when I hear the words that stop me.
    “ Krasavitsa. ”
    I jolt away from him. “Pavel, what are you doing here?” I reach over and turn up the lights.
    He crosses his arms over his chest. “Came to see what you’d lowered yourself to.”
    “I couldn’t be any lower than when I was your whore. My life is none of your business. I told you to leave me alone.” I back up to the door, “So leave.”
    He stands up and makes his way over to me before I can blink. “Don’t start thinking you will tell me what to do.” He grabs my elbow. “I can help you if you weren’t so stubborn and held on to such foolishness.”
    I snatch my elbow away. “Foolishness? So me having a problem with you being married is foolishness?” I roll my eyes.
    “Funny, you didn’t have a problem with it for all those years.” He backs me into the wall. “You didn’t have a problem screaming my name out when you came or sucking my dick until-.” I slap him before he can finish.
    “Where does she think you are this weekend? Huh?” I shove him backward. “She’s home nursing your baby. The baby I thought you’d never have because supposedly you two weren’t sleeping together. The baby I’ll probably never get to have because I wasted so much time of my life on you.” He looks angered but hurt in some way, too. “I hate you, Pavel. Hate you.”
    I snatch the door open and see Tugg. “Make sure he never comes in this club again.” Tugg just nods as I storm by.
    Going into my dressing room, I grab my things and haul ass to my car.

 
    CHAPTER 8

    HUCK
    Watching Marco hold our business meeting is still surreal to me.
    “So boys, how are the numbers looking for the self-defense classes?” he says, looking at Lox.
    Lox opens our sign up binder. “Well, we’re having a steady flow. The sign up for the Saturday kid’s class is doing very well and since it’s free, it’s bringing in a lot of moms.”
    Marco nods. “Sounds good. Anyone have anything else?” He looks through the notes we’ve been over. “We’ve got all the rooms for Jacksonville, we went over the schedule for the next few weeks and talked about the classes.”
    I sit forward, chewing on my gum. “Well, I’ve been thinking about more ways we could promote business. I was thinking about doing a youth MMA style class. For kids like thirteen to say, eighteen. That’s pretty much what you did for the three of us. It kept us out of trouble and taught us control.”
    Sly looks over at me and then to Marco. “Brother, I’m not saying it’s a bad idea, but we already have so much going on with the other classes. Lox and I have families.”
    I put my hand up. “I’ve already thought of that. This class would be taught by myself, Gibbs and Liz.”
    Marco looks at me confused. “Liz?”
    I nod. “Yes. Liz could be a fighter. She knows the skill inside and out, and she would also be a great model for the females I’m hoping will sign up. We could teach it on Tuesdays and Thursdays, that way it doesn’t interfere with the other classes. Lox and Sly can do self-defense and we will still all rotate the kid’s Saturday class.” I shrug. “We’re training people and building a business here. We can’t expect that we are going to fight for forever and we shouldn’t want to.”
    Lox nods, looking around the room. “Sounds like a pretty solid idea to me. Have you ran it by Liz and Gibbs?”
    “Gibbs, yes. Liz, I’m going to talk to tonight but I think with the youth being involved, she’ll be for it.”
    Everyone looks to Marco. He shrugs. “Get some information together. Get an idea of how many people might be interested. Have the full commitment of the other teachers and we’ll do it. Also, speaking of Gibbs, we need to get that boy certified to teach. He’d be a great backup in the other classes as well. I’m proud of the work you boys have done with him. He’s done a lot of maturing in
