Chapter 749: 1
"Sure she will give her test Zane but a week later or ten days" Mr.Bellamy said immediately. Ryan shot his head up to his dad who took a deep breath. Zane turned his head to Mr.Bellamy and raised his eyebrows.
"I'm the trainer and I'm going to train her, so I want to test her abilities right now" Zane said in a strict tone which left no room for discussion. Ryan's heart immediately started to beat faster with worry. She is going to fight with the men who are trained when she is weak? He almost lost his breath at the thought of seeing her bleed.
"No" the word rolled out of Ryan's tongue even before he could stop it. Everyone shot their heads up to him, including Zane and Mr.Bellamy.
Ryan never crossed Zane's words or tried to talkback to him ever until now and Zane was completely surprised at this. Ryan is trying to save his enemy? Zane thought in his mind as he could clearly see it in Ryan's eyes how worried he was.
"Coach, she is not well, her health is too bad and she couldn't stand a chance against any of us here" Ryan said, more like a taunting way. He slipped his tongue already and he didn't want anyone to see that he is worried so he is trying to make them think that she is not fit in their academy.
"You mean she is incompetent and unfit?" Zane asked, his tone giving away nothing. "He doesn't mean any of it, Ida will definitely get trained here" Mr.Bellamy says, indirectly asking Ryan to shut up. He knows his son hates the girl but he shouldn't speak like that.
"As I told you sir, with respect, Ida won't get trained here if she doesn't show her abilities now. I'll approve her only if I see her fighting" ZAne said in a final tone making Mr.Bellamy sigh.
Ryan fisted his hands tightly, his anger seeping into his veins as his coach wasn't understanding him. He knows Ida couldn't even stand for a few minutes if even the person with least training in the academy fights her.
She was younger than them and mainly weak a t this moment, both mentally and physically. He didn't want her to get more injured and hurt and reach the hospital. The mental image made his heart constricted, making it almost impossible to breathe as he struggled between his emotions of Rage, concern and care.
Ellis and Derek who came there to see what was happening there witnessed this and they know their coach will definitely take a test no matter what.
Derek nodded at Ellis who ran as fast as he could to the mansion and ran on to the stairs skipping two stairs each time and ran to Ida's room panting.
Ida who was doing something on her laptop immediately closed it when she heard some footsteps approaching her and opened the door to find one of the twins standing there, his hand on the wall near the door as he took large gulps of breath trying to normalize his heartbeat.
"Umm.. what happened?" Ida asked, her voice low as she tried to recognise whether it was Elis or Derek. Ellis, who saw confusion clear in her eyes, chuckled to himself as he breathed out "chill I'm Ellis and you are ordered to report to the academy immediately."
Ida looked at him utterly horrified as he said the words. She is going to start training at this moment? She shook her head trying to gather herself and appear as normal as she could.
"Can I get a moment?" Ida asked as Ellis nodded his head in a yes and grabbed his mobile to text Derek. Ida closed the door and kept her hair in a high pony and wore a loose shirt as she was already in her sports bra and shut down her laptop as she opened the door again, startling Ellis a little.
Ida rubbed her face with her palms as Ellis started to walk fast and ran with him to match his steps. Ellllis who realised it immediately slowed himself down.
He knows she'd need as much energy as she can have today to fight. In three minutes, they reached the academy where Mr.Bellamy and Ryan were arguing with the coach.
"She'll fight but at least give her a day or two Zane '' Mr.Bellamy said, his voice annoyed. He was just a two steps away from breaking the neck of the coach who was being hell stubborn.
Ida was hearing them quietly without saying anything, she wanted to know what happened suddenly.
"Coach please, Ida can't fight with anyone at this moment, she is sick and she is the only girl in here. You can't expect a girl to fight when she is sick that too with trained men" Ryan reasoned out as he blew a frustrated breath and Mr.Bellamy stared at him curiously, thinking why his son is trying to save a girl whom he already started to hate a lot.
Ida who heard it immediately took a step back, her eyes filled with fear as she looked at everyone in the group who were looking like bouncers in the pub. She could just die in a split second.
Ran almost started to shake in anger, his senses and protectiveness towards Ida clouding his brain completely. All he could think was to save her at that moment.
The way she looked so fragile made him fear that she could break in a moment and he won't even be able to save her. And he doesn't want her to die in front of his eyes.
He didn't know why he wanted to protect her but his instincts were asking him to be a shield for her and not to let a single hand lay on her.
Just the thought of a guy touching her in a wrong way or to harm her made him see red as he dug his nails into his palm trying to control himself.
His knuckles turned white as blood drew out of his palms because of his nails but he could care about it least at that moment. All he knows is she can't fight at that moment.
"If she can't fight at this moment, I would take it as she is unfit for the training, this academy and to get trained under me and she is unfit for this mafia world in her fragile state. She can leave this place for all I care if she can't be capable of fighting" Zane mocked both the father and son and Ryan could feel that he was hanging on the last thread of patience.
He didn't know why he wanted to save her but he just wanted to. Mr.Bellamy started to grow more and more curious about Ryan's behaviour. He could feel that Ryan is taking Ida's side, trying to protect her.
He remembers seeing this kind of Ryan only when the topic regarding his mom comes out. He still couldn't deal with her death and everytime someone talks about it, he turns into a monster that no one could calm down.
It was not even a day that Ida came here and he could see Ryan going through many changes. But something in himself tells Mr.Bellamy that this is going to be good and taking in Ida is a correct decision and he wants to stick on to that.
"If she can't fight, I'd consider her as unfit" Zane repeated his words, patience ticking off his senses. He wants to know how strong she is and what she is capable of if she deserves to get trained. He is one hell of a strict trainer and would take people who are only capable of using their complete abilities.
Ryan was about to take a step forward when Mr.Bellamy immediately held his hand and called him out. "Ryan" Mr.Bellamy said, his voice a bit loud trying to bring Ryan out of his angry state.
And just like fog disappears, Ryan shook his head a few times and looked at his dad, his eyes seemed a bit lost. But one look at his dad and he felt the reality hitting him hard.
He almost lost his senses and was defending Ida, someone whom he hates who looked like she was clouding his dark heart and awaking his feelings, something he never felt.
He argued with his coach and if not for his dad, he would have definitely done something that would spoil a lot of things. He felt frustrated with the way Ida was invading his thoughts and replacing those with hers, the way she was and the way he was getting attracted to her too.
It was more than attraction but he wanted to dust it off thinking it to be just an excitement for seeing a girl like that who was beautiful.
"Calm down will you?" Mr.Bellamy muttered in between his teeth as he kept his voice low so that only his son could hear him.
