Chapter 12
A few hours later
Nigel was bored. Amelia had left to go back to her place to change and get ready for work and he needed something to do. So, he decided to come down to the training center to work out some of his frustrations with the punching bag. He felt someone come in and stand behind him. He didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.
“Do you have a problem Phoenix?”
“Are you going to stop seeing Lia?”
He held back his growl at the use of her name in such a familiar way. How dare this male think he has any right to question his relationship with Amelia. “Never.”
“You’re dragging her down with you and all this mess you’re involved in.”
“Amelia wants to be with me, it’s her choice. I didn’t do what I am being accused of. I don’t have to explain myself to you.”
“You’re just going to break her heart again.”
Nigel snarled in anger. “I will never hurt her—not again. I don’t have to defend myself to you.”
“I was here when you fucked her and left without a word. I care about her. I comforted her when she needed a shoulder to cry on. She cried a lot because of you. I want a chance to make her happy.”
Nigel couldn’t seem to control his jealousy. “Did you put the moves on her while she was vulnerable?” When the male didn’t respond he grabbed him by the neck and backed him up against the wall. “What did you do?”
“Not nearly enough if she still falls back on your bullshit!”
They were drawing attention and some of the other fighters came up. Hammer the Biclops, a half human and half Cyclops, pulled them apart. No one was stronger than a Biclops. “What’s going on?”
Nigel didn’t want the others to get involved with his and Amelia’s personal business. This was between him and Phoenix. “Nothing.”
Hammer didn’t look convinced. He looked at Phoenix. “What about you? Do you have a problem?”
“Yeah I do, but it’s between me and him.”
“If you two want to go at it, you’ll do it in the cage and I’ll referee it to keep it clean and fair. Do you agree?”
Nigel and Phoenix locked eyes with one another. “Agreed.”

“This is going nowhere.” Amelia complained as she leaned over Dom’s shoulder glaring at Nigel’s computer. They had been working all morning on trying to find traces of Clark’s invasion. Ever since Dom kicked Clark’s ass out of the office.
It was kind of funny. She had just opened the office suite up and sat at her desk when Clark strolled in like he owned the place.
“Miss Jones, I want a cup of coffee.”
She raised an eyebrow at him. “I don’t fetch coffee.”
“Well, what the hell do you do?”
“She does whatever the hell I need her to do.” Dom said as he walked into the office.
“Dom, what are you doing here?”
“I’m handling everything until this business with Nigel is settled.”
“I’m in charge here.”
“Who told you that?”
“I just assumed…”
“I have seniority Clark.
