My dad had always been a scheming man, and his new rich girlfriend hadn’t seen him coming.
He upended my life in Hawthorne Heights and dragged me to Ashburn Valley without much warning.
My new home came with a fancy new academy education, and his girlfriend's entitled son.
Lucky me, right?

Caden and his friends were assholes, so I couldn’t let my guard down.
Until I did and they made me feel like I belonged in their world after all.
I never meant to fall for them, and I should’ve known better than to trust them.
Never trust a rich boy, let alone four.

One good thing comes out of it though since it led me back to cage fighting.
Beating on others wasn’t going to hurt my dad or Caden, but it was a start.
It helped that one of the street crew members that ran the fights was hot and really good in bed.
It was just a shame that his boss wanted me dead.

My name’s Rory Donovan, and I’d do anything to protect those I cared about.
The blood on my hands and the dead body should’ve proven that.
