BXBX NOVEL Chapter 65: The scar
"That's why I need you, Arnold," Mia was cold in the face.
Arnold shrugged. While he was confused at that moment, there were certain things he thought of, giving him some crazy judgment.
'Did she want me to marry her just to be in charge of her father's company? But that isn't what I want. I don't want some business-purposed marriage.'
Arnold was short of what to do, biting his lips.
"It's alright. You can think about it. I will wait for your decision. But you have to keep this in mind... I love you, and I want you to be the father of my children," Mia spoke upon seeing Arnold's speechless reaction.
Arnold nodded quickly upon hearing this one as it was clear that basically had no response to give about her proposal.
He was here to make this lass his girlfriend, and suddenly, he was getting a marriage proposal from her.
'How crazy!'
Arnold shouted inwardly.
"But... That means were are dating now, right?" Arnold had a strong tone in his voice when he asked this question, but Mia understood.
"Of course, Arnold. I agree to be your girlfriend," she said with an awkward smile, although those shy looks were always on her face.
Arnold, at least, was glad that she accepted. Truth be told, his feelings were sincere, and despite this sudden occurrence, a bit of it never left his heart.
They both conversed and drank until Arnold insisted that he should be leaving. There was no way he could meet up with going back to Chicago that day, so the best thing was to lodge in a hotel for the night.
He couldn't stay in Mia's dorm room, either.
After the conversation, he learned that Mia's parent died after an assassin raid on their way back from vacation in Oklahoma City. Her parents were gunned down by those hefty men, but she managed to escape into a forest, fortunately not being noticed.
It was late in the night at that time, and Mia was heedless of where she was running to. She only knew that she was escaping from death. It was then that she hit hard against a tree with sharp bodies in it, causing severe injuries on her body, including her face.
Surprisingly, this was how she had that curvy-shaped scar on the left side of her face. But it was quite fortunate that she found help after running for so long, scampering into a hidden house inside that forest...
That day, undoubtedly, was the worst day of her life.
However, her father had already written his will in favor of her, making her the legal owner of his company, but his business partners had been trying to raise cases against it, doing their very best to hijack the company.
And it was already becoming too overwhelming...
Arnold had initially been wondering why she decided to pay less attention to her father's property and pursue a professional wrestler career, but she only gave one reply.
"I am becoming a wrestler because one day I want to break their ankles with my bare hands. Especially, that beast who claimed to be my father's twin brother."
Although this was a statement made from the effect of anger, Mia entirely had different purposes for entering the professional wrestling world, and main-eventing Battleline was just a bit of them.
******
Mia led Arnold out to the exit of the university before he left. They both had a chat as they walked, well, the cold stares coming against them from different students around only made Mia especially unrelaxed.
Arnold was never moved anyway, and at some point, many recognized him as Max Fury, the currently trending Grindhouse wrestler and well, a former student of Rising Impact University.
"Max Fury!"
"Oh my god! That's him!"
"It's truly him! He just didn't come with his title!"
Side shouts came a moment after moment as they walked, and Arnold was surprised at a point when a lady of about Mia's age approached him and begged for a selfie with him.
He had no choice but to accept since he was a loving superstar to his fans.
Mia was only standing next to him in amazement... Truthfully, she didn't know that her "boyfriend" was this popular. Literally, she even thought that she was the only one watching his matches in the entire university. She never knew that almost everyone knew him, even the first-year students!
Arnold agreed to take a pic with the excited lady and they continued walking right after.
"You have got quite a remarkable fame. You need to get yourself a bodyguard" Mia hesitated before saying.
But Arnold only smiled. "I don't think I need any. I can protect myself," he spoke and shook his head.
"You don't really mean that, right? Someone of this level of fame should have a security guard at least. I don't want bad to happen to you, Arnold," Mia appeared worried in an instant. Those facial reactions were as sincere as reality, and Arnold could feel her sincerity.
But he didn't really want a bodyguard. Even if he would, not now. Living a BIG life was one thing he disliked... Even though he becomes very rich, he wouldn't let it change his preferred lifestyle. Having a bodyguard at this stage was not on his list of plans.
With Mia following him to the gate, he was set to leave.
Two gatekeepers could seen standing tall at the gate side, their face as fierce as a glare. It was certain that no students were allowed to leave the university premises until it was vacation or else there was a good reason, so there was no way Mia could follow him out.
"I will come to see you tomorrow, Mia. Take care of yourself," Arnold attempted to leave with these words being said, but Mia's arm pulled him back.
"Not without a hug," she curled her lips and said.
Arnold with a smile, had no choice but to give her a new, warm hug which she embraced tightly as though like a magnet. It was already becoming awkward I'm front of the gatekeepers, so they both let go of each other and Arnold.
Walking out through the gate and out to a calm road leading to the main roads of Phoenix City, Arnold suddenly got a message from his phone. Bringing it out of his pocket and taking a look, his eyes dilated in an instant.
