Mom got choked out in an arranged match

The eyeglass store Contest
My mom, Elena who was 55 back when I was 21, had been working at the eyeglass store as the head for years. After 30 years, one colleague was retiring, and management had already sent instructions on who would replace her. Instead of the woman who left for retirement, a woman of 48 arrived -- full of energy and a capable worker. Her name is Isabella and she has one son, Marcus.
Until then, besides the woman who retired, Mom had no other graduate employee working with her in the eyeglass store -- only technicians who were no competition for her, but they weren't particularly close either because Mom is strict.
On the first day Isabella arrived early on Monday morning and was waiting in front of the door for my mom, the boss. She was taller, younger, with a perfect figure 90-60-90, tall black leather boots, a black leather jacket and glasses.
Isabella: "Nice to meet you, I'm Isabella."
Elena: "Elena, nice to meet you. And you are the new one?"
Isabella: "Yes, first day."
Mom let Isabella in and they went down to the basement where the changing area is.
Isabella: "Aha, so this is where you have it. Is the bottom part of the coat mandatory or...?"
Elena: "Well, as you like, I wear it. And what would you wear underneath?"
At that moment Isabella took off her boots and showed her large legs in pantyhose.
Isabella: "I usually wore white tights. What are the rules regarding shoes?"
Elena: "I'll have to order clogs for you."
Isabella: "I have these red ones."
Mom didn't answer anything, she just looked at how perfect Isabella was as she stepped into the wooden clogs with the red strap that were a little too sexy. Isabella then put on the top part of the coat and stayed in her pants on the outside.
Isabella: "Tomorrow I'll bring different ones, white pants."
Then one of the technicians arrived and cheerfully introduced herself to the new employee. They went upstairs and Mom showed her the job and how everything works. Isabella is very attractive and the patients were delighted with the new employee. They told her she was a breath of fresh air compared to the pensioner who had worked there until then, and similar things. Most of the men went to her. Over coffee the three of them talked.
Elena: "Where did you work before, Isabella?"
Isabella: "In the Westside district and at the Central branch. Altogether that's 15 years of experience. Now I asked for a transfer because the yoga studio is close here, and it also suits me for housing."
Technician: "You train yoga?"
Isabella: "Yes, for a long time already. But only that."
Technician: "You hear that, boss. The other day you were just saying you need some exercise."
Elena: "True, but yoga is completely unknown to me."
Isabella: "Yoga is great for you. There is a beginner level that would be for you and an advanced one where I am."
Elena: "I mean, Vanessa and I had even talked about going to something together."
Isabella: "Vanessa?"
Elena: "Aha, you don't know her. That's the doctor here at the health center. She was urging me to start, and I was honestly lazy."
Isabella: "We'll talk you into it, it's a rebirth when you start."
A few patients came so they went back to work. Isabella later talked a little more with Mom but in general they clicked well. The second morning they worked together again. Isabella arrived when Mom did, changed, but until around noon nothing interesting happened. Then Dr. Vanessa came for coffee. She entered the eyeglass store and her imposing height dominated so someone might say she was the boss and not my mom. Long wavy blonde hair, perfect proportions, beautiful face and enormous dark feet with shiny white painted nails, perfectly cared for in sexy wooden clogs with a red strap, exactly the kind Isabella has.
Vanessa: "Hi everyone. Let me see where that new employee is. Hi."
Isabella ran over and greeted Vanessa warmly.
Vanessa: "Come on, a little refreshment."
Isabella: "Thank you. So you are that Dr. Vanessa, they told me about you."
Vanessa: "Did Elena tell you, ha?"

Isabella: "Yes, the boss says she can't be talked into training."
Vanessa: "It would do her good."
Isabella: "Well I go to yoga nearby here, I mean, if we arrange it the three of us. Four are in the group."
Vanessa: "I'll talk Carla into going with us, you talk to the boss."
Elena: "It will be hard for me to decide on that."
Vanessa: "Please Elena. We'll both drop the extra kilos. Besides, your son is already grown up, you don't have any obligations."
Isabella: "And you boss also have a son?"
Elena: "Yes, an only child..."
Isabella: "Oh, same here. Then there's no excuse, you have time."
Vanessa: "Should I call Carla, Elena? So that three of us talk you into it or?"
Elena: "And how will I go into a group with Isabella who has been training for so long."
Vanessa: "Well I'll be at your level."
Elena: "OK, but..."
Isabella: "Boss, two of us are talking you into it."
Vanessa: "You're cornered now. Finally we'll do something for the body."
Elena: "Ah damn, what's it cost me to try."
Vanessa: "Bravo Isabella. I like how you negotiate. When do we start?"
Isabella: "On Friday bring clothes and a towel. Don't overdo it with the clothes because it will be hot."
Vanessa: "Should I call Carla too?"
Isabella: "For the first class I'll ask the trainer to make an exception so it's just the three of us. Nothing, dress so that your arms are bare on top, below can be tights, and feet must be bare. On top you can wear some sports top, although a regular bra is also fine. I'll tell trainer Laura to be careful at the beginning so that you warm up and start slowly, the two of you, and I'll do the classic training."
Vanessa: "And when?"
Isabella: "We start at 6. Come around half past five to change. Yes, there will be robes waiting for you there, so you can undress in the changing room and put on the robe while going down the corridor because it's a bit cold."
Mom didn't tell me anything even though I knew everything about the new employee Isabella because she had been recounting it to me. Suddenly she sent me a message.
Mom: "Vanessa and that new Isabella talked me into starting yoga."
Me: "Is that OK with you?"
Mom: "In principle yes but I don't know how it will look."
Me: "Well don't go if you don't like it."
Mom: "Isabella started early with getting close to the others at the health center and if I allow that, she'll start an informal petition for her to be the boss over me."
Me: "Is there a chance of that?"
Mom: "Of course. That's how I became the boss but OK, luckily everyone turned against the former boss anyway. Now, if Isabella wins over Vanessa and Carla, I'll be pushed aside, and Isabella will strut around. I have to keep one of them close to me because Carla and Vanessa are friends, and if Vanessa gets close to Isabella, it's three against one."
Me: "Is there no one else who can help?"
Mom: "No, they are too strong in power. Carla has two technicians, Vanessa a nurse, plus Isabella... I mean, even with the two technicians I have, my chances are zero. So if Vanessa goes, I go too."
Me: "Clear."
The next day Mom contacted me from work with a message.
Mom: "I talked with Vanessa today and she says that sometime in May she's going to the regional director of the health insurance for a conversation about the situation at the center and she asks if I have any ideas. She mentioned that Isabella has fitted in very well and that we're going with her to yoga. Carla isn't going to yoga after all, she signed up for boxing. Vanessa told me that she even thought about boxing but that she'd rather go with me to yoga. And yes, as I expected, Vanessa confidentially told me that Isabella is the director's player and that I should watch her maximally."
Me: "Huh. Yes, then be careful."
That week on Friday Mom had the first training arranged. She took a black tracksuit and a white T-shirt, stuffed them into a sports bag and left. She sent me a message from there.
Mom: "We arrived and they only told me to take off what I plan to have on bottom and top like a bra, and to put on the robe that is there. Here I'm waiting..."
About 15 minutes nothing, and then a message.
Mom: "Trainer Laura arrived so now we're starting. Keep your fingers crossed for me."
Me: "Do you have any picture of the space?"
Mom: "Here."
Mom photographed the gym a little.
Mom: "Here the trainer photographed all three of us with my phone. Look."
Mom sent me a picture of the three of them standing next to each other in yoga outfits and house robes. When I first saw Isabella, I couldn't believe how attractive she was. That is, a MILF with huge breasts, beautiful long feet with red painted nails. Mom is half a head shorter, and compared to Vanessa I don't even want to say, a whole head. Mom's feet are smaller than Isabella's, and Vanessa's are terribly large. Of the three of them there, Mom looks like she got lost.
She didn't contact me for some time and then after half an hour.
Mom: "Horror, yoga is not easy at all. And for Vanessa it's hard, let alone for me."
Me: "And Isabella?"
Mom: "For her it goes terribly well. I had to stop the training earlier because I can't. The two of them are still training."
Me: "Have you given up on the attempt to keep control over Vanessa?"
Mom: "Physically I can't. Wait, the trainer is calling me."
After 15 minutes Mom messaged again.
Mom: "Here, they are finished too. I have to stay a little with the trainer so she can instruct me some things for the next time and then I'll contact you."
Mom returned inside.
Laura: "Come Elena, I already passed everything to them, now to you so I can explain. How was it otherwise?"
Elena: "Great but tiring for me."
Laura: "I wanted to ask you something alone. Come to my office. Put on the robe. Namely, I have been Isabella's trainer for 3 years since she started. Anyway, Isabella asked me to ask you something indirectly. Sit down."
Elena: "Is something serious?"
Laura: "It could be, yes."
Elena: "OK, tell me."
Laura: "Isabella came to work with you when, two weeks ago."
Elena: "Yes."
Laura: "You yourself know that the patients love her and that as the boss you are not pleased that you are not the patients' favorite like she is."
Elena: "True, I'm not like before."
Laura: "We all know that your experience is much greater than Isabella's and that you are better at the job than she is."
Elena: "I'm older, obviously."
Laura: "Clear. But Isabella is an assertive woman who achieves her goals tactically and slowly."
Elena: "I believe so."
Laura: "Yes, if you understand me..."
Elena: "I mean, I believe you're going in the direction that she actually wants to become the boss."
Laura: "Yes, Isabella wants to become the boss and she told me to tell you that in a subtle way. Now, Isabella offers one proposal that might be a little shocking to you but realistically very transparent and fair."
Elena: "I'm listening."
Laura: "I talked otherwise also with Dr. Vanessa about that because without her support nothing can be achieved in that center. The doctor's proposal is among other things that you be given enough time for preparation and that I find a professional person who will prepare you so that with Isabella you do a physical duel for the position of boss."
Elena: "Physical? That we fight?"
Laura: "Not that you beat each other, no no. That would be organized by me in accordance with your ages and possibilities."
Elena: "How do you mean that? I'm completely out of shape."
Laura: "I think two months of preparation is enough for you so that with a professional trainer you learn the key holds and important things for a wrestling duel. Isabella has never wrestled nor does she know how to wrestle but she is aware of her physical superiority. Regardless of that, she offers you an agreement before the doctor goes to the director and possibly escalates that proposal, you already know yourself how that then goes."
Elena: "Yes, it's clear to me. Is the doctor inclined that Isabella take my place?"
Laura: "The doctor is for you two to agree and that you have a fair chance. And your colleague Carla is for such an agreement, so in principle you are forced in some way to choose your own destiny."
Elena: "Yes, it's clear to me."
Laura: "I would offer you three options for you to think about and then let me know by tomorrow."
Elena: "Tell me."
Laura: "The first option would be that we go into that without the director and that you have those two months of space for preparation, and then one duel in which only you and Isabella in the ring, in front of the sons, decide about the boss. That would be a serious duel and by special rules where there would be no dilemma about the victory and that result would also be recognized by the director."
Elena: "OK, it's clear to me."
Laura: "The second option that Isabella offers you is that the duel be already this weekend, on Sunday, so the day after tomorrow. Isabella aims at the fact that you are not in condition and that she would more easily win but she then proposed that it be a wrestling tournament in which the doctor would also participate. Again, a specially arranged tournament with special rules and nothing similar to sports wrestling. Here in case you are in last place in the tournament, Vanessa would go to the director immediately with the proposal that it be escalated and then there is a chance that the director organize a duel without the presence of anyone except you two and a judge, and in that duel there is a great chance that it be organized as gladiatorial."
Elena: "Aha, there is a chance that I die?"
Laura: "Great. So, Isabella would beat you there and then in front of the director alone and without support you go to settle, that is you go so that Isabella legally carries out the execution."
Elena: "OK, for now that second option is by no means in play. Tell me the third."
Laura: "Boxing but tag team kick boxing."
Elena: "What is that?"
Laura: "There you would have to find a partner because Isabella has a partner who would help her resolve you in the boxing match. You would have a month of preparation and looking for a partner."
Elena: "OK, would we box with gloves?"
Laura: "By agreement but more likely not or only some small ones."
Elena: "And who is the partner for Isabella?"
Laura: "Dr. Vanessa. With that don't count on Carla because she is support for the team in which the doctor is."
Elena: "Ah wonderful. She even trains boxing."
Laura: "She is the one who proposed that idea to Isabella. So, Elena, how does it seem to you at first?"
Elena: "I don't know. Here I really don't know what to say. At the beginning I was in shock, now when I hear that the doctor would support Isabella in boxing, I don't know what to say. Most probably I'll go for the first option so as if I have to lose so that at least I have time for preparation."
Laura: "You have to take into account that Isabella will also have the same amount of time to learn how to wrestle, I'm just saying, I'm not suggesting anything."
Elena: "Yes, and I would honestly like to get rid of that as soon as possible but I'm thinking that maybe at least somehow I'll manage to prepare my body and mind for the duel. Is there any other option?"
Laura: "Well we considered one more scenario, yes, but I don't know how acceptable that would be for you at all because we considered that you would by no means accept that."
Elena: "Tell me."
Laura: "Wrestling that is not as dangerous as with the director and there is no direct option of a lethal outcome but the defeat would be decisive and that special fight would be organized within a week, next weekend already."
Elena: "How would that fight look?"
Laura: "The big plus of that fight is that you wouldn't have to defeat Isabella by attack at all because you don't even know how to do that but you would have to defend yourself and endure her attacks for a certain time. Also, a plus is that you negotiate the rules with her before the duel."
Elena: "OK, I mean, why did you think that I wouldn't accept that. It sounds like an OK proposal, I don't know, you tell me. Is it dangerous for me?"
Laura: "Ha every option is dangerous. The most dangerous option is that kick box where their legs would also go to your head."
Elena: "That I would certainly want to avoid. I want to wrestle if I already have to and that without hitting."
Laura: "OK, can. Do you want me then to arrange that with them?"
Elena: "Yes, give that last option then if I already have to."
Laura: "OK. We have to fill out a few forms. You'll also have to quickly do a systematic exam so that I see all the parameters before the ring. Do that tomorrow right away and send me by email. Here one signature."
Mom didn't even look, she trusted Laura.
Laura: "Good, we have that. Now let's go to the vital functions. What is your blood pressure?"
Elena: "Elevated, up to 140/90 sometimes."
Laura: "OK, that is still acceptable. Sugar?"
Elena: "Elevated up to 8."
Laura: "OK. Let's just quickly do spirometry on this apparatus so I see the breathing. Inhale to the end then full exhale..."
Mom obeyed.
Laura: "OK. Do you have asthma or any lung disease?"
Elena: "No."
Laura: "Have you ever had an attack of choking?"
Elena: "No."
Laura: "Have you ever had a physical confrontation with another woman until now?"
Elena: "No."
Laura: "Good, here is a related question whether in it you had obstructed breathing, so no. OK, do you have the possibility of calling one woman to stand outside the corner of the ring as support and help?"
Elena: "Oh hard. Is it necessary?"
Laura: "Ha you can expect that Isabella will have support. OK, see about that still and let me know. Let's go further. Have you ever been revived?"
Elena: "No. What kind of question..."
Laura: "Yes, that is a little too much. Let's go further. Do you want that outside the ring someone from the family watch the fight?"
Elena: "Yes, my son."
Laura: "OK, one person can. Here now a few questions are connected if the son is a minor."
Elena: "He isn't."
Laura: "OK, if he isn't, just explain to him that once you enter the ring, there is no more exiting outside the rules. So that he doesn't call you or beg that we let you."
Elena: "OK."
Laura: "OK, here sign me all that."
Mom signed everything and then left. She recounted everything to me at home.
Me: "It's a little strange that you know nothing about the fight."
Mom: "Well I won't have to attack, that's a plus. Hopefully I'll endure."
Me: "And how long to endure? What? Do you have any information?"
Mom: "I said that I don't want blows, and wrestling is OK for me. Look, Laura gave me three choices and this as a supplementary. None of the three was good. By one I could even die in the ring."
Me: "Well as much as you know about this fight, it wouldn't surprise me if that happens now too."
Mom: "You're exaggerating. Besides, this way you can attend and cheer me on."
Me: "That's OK, so that I can give you advice. And how do you have to dress."
Mom: "Most probably we'll be in swimsuits so that everything is visible or underwear. I still have to go to the pedicurist and I'll buy myself a real bikini, so that I appear in it and surprise Isabella who is full of self-confidence. Oh yes, I would have to take along one more as a friend to stand in the corner of the ring from outside. Whom would I ask? Do you have an idea? Should you call Penny?"
Me: "Would she stand in the corner for you? Do you think Isabella would accept that? Rather ask the technicians or Carla."
Mom: "What are you saying, Carla would betray me. I can ask technician Tanya. You talk to Penny just in case."
I immediately called Penny and relayed to Mom right away.
Me: "Mom, Penny tells me that you stop contacting them, go on sick leave and call a lawyer."
Mom: "Excuse me?"
Me: "That by no means do you sign anything because if you sign the fight, that there is no lawyer who will pull you out of the ring."
Mom: "Oh my."
Me: "What? She says that if they are forcing you into that elimination fight, you can expect that it will be the legal minimum of safety and that you are not protected at all. She said that probably they are offering you the arrival of a partner only so that she stands outside and that she will agree to that while Isabella will certainly have the option of doubling on you, that is that she processes you two against one."
Mom: "Oh my. You know what is the worst."
Me: "What?"
Mom: "I signed all the papers for Laura there. Those were like three contracts and I got only this as my copy."
Mom pulled out one sheet of paper.
Me: "I don't know what to tell you on that now... where was your mind?"
Mom: "I thought that I had to because otherwise I go under heavier conditions."
Me: "They pulled you in. Look what it says here "Elimination duel according to the Lani Voss Studio program". You have no idea what that is."
Mom: "No."
Me: "Let's look. OK, here is that woman Lani Voss. On this paper Laura is not mentioned which means that it is questionable whether she participates. OK, that is all the same. Let's see the rules."
Mom: "She told me that I negotiate the rules with Isabella."
Me: "Ah, the page has an error. Wait so we see "About us". Here, it says, that is a professional and certified studio for trainings and organized duels of women in the ring specialized for the American approach of survivor duel of decisive fight. Possibility of legal resolution of conflicts in the ring with the option of adapting the duel on the principle of two against one. Here, it is clear to you that Isabella is going for that."
Mom: "Yes, certainly and then Vanessa will be with her. The two of them against me alone."
Me: "Yes, they will kill you."
Mom: "I have no choice now. I signed."
Me: "You have no more choice. Look a little on the internet wrestling and moves so that you see how and what. They are physically superior even individually, only luck can pull you out now."
On the day of the fight Mom prepared everything to put on. She carries with her a blue bikini, and on herself she has purple underwear. I drove her. We arrived there and a young blonde whom I recognized from the website, Serena Voss, in training tights and a sports bra and sneakers greeted her.
Serena: "Good day. You are Elena, is it? And you her son?"
Me: "That's right."
Mom: "Yes."
Serena: "Elena, you go with me to undress, and you can wait here a little so that I look at mom completely naked. Isabella and her partner are already here so we have to hurry."
Me: "OK."
Mom stayed inside. Serena comes out at one moment.
Serena: "Come a little inside."
Mom was inside in a house robe.
Serena: "Tell me, did mom know what she was getting into before coming here?"
Me: "She didn't."
Serena: "OK. Do you know that she enters the ring completely on her own responsibility and accepts the consequences of the fight?"
Me: "Mom?"
Mom: "I know, yes."
Serena: "OK. I needed that consent. Sign me that. Have you ever fought with anyone?"
Mom: "No. Neither fought nor wrestled."
Serena: "OK. Neither has Isabella, luckily for you. I have in my life fought with many women, and I have also wrestled with even more."
Mom: "When we get there, do I take off the robe?"

Part 2
Serena: "Just keep it on for now. In it you will also enter the ring for me. Isabella requested that the fight be done in the absolute minimum of clothing. Namely, you don't know that but under the robe your mom has only swimming panties because Isabella requested that into the ring your mom enter without any chance of bringing in some weapon but that she has to be practically naked and fight only with her body."
Me: "Isabella is wonderful."
Serena: "Yes she is, she wants to have one hundred percent certainty that mom has no chance. I mean, I saw Isabella and I know approximately the starting rules because Laura instructed me..."
Mom: "And how does she look?"
Serena: "Huh. She trains as far as I understood, yoga."
Mom: "Yes."
Serena: "She has a perfect body. If she had experience in wrestling, I would struggle with her."
Mom: "Do I have any chance?"
Serena: "The basic rules are hard. The fight is too long for you."
Mom: "How long does it last?"
Serena: "20 minutes of the fight itself. You have one minute breaks between rounds but the first round for you is 5 minutes and that is impossible to endure if you are not in shape. I mean, Isabella honestly asked me how to reduce the chances for you who are out of shape."
Mom: "And that is not exactly fair."
Serena: "My lady. You are going into the ring to fight with a mortal enemy. Don't expect a fair and honest fight except that it will be by the rules. Honestly, I think if I had known how you look and that the son will bring you here, I would have written the rules differently. I'm sorry."
Me: "And what can mom do now? Can we somehow influence you? Mom, take out the money."
Mom: "We prepared 3000 euros, is that enough for me to get out?"
Serena: "I can't take the money because I can't guarantee you anything."
Mom: "Just take it and do as much as is possible. Just so that I come out alive from the ring."
Serena: "I mean lady, Isabella is stronger, it's uncomfortable for me..."
Serena cunningly still took the money from mom.
Serena: "Come on I'll try. I mean, you are going on an impossible mission. Imagine that you are in a war in complete encirclement. I am a soldier so I remember how that is but this is not anything better now. Let's go the two of us there. You wait here a little, mom has to do the photographing with Isabella and she has to first enter the ring so that I call you sons then. Don't worry, I'll watch over her."
Serena opened the door and mom started through them. Through the corridor the flip-flops that mom has on her feet are heard. They talk quietly so I don't hear well but it seems to me that the conversation was approximately:
Serena: "When we arrive there, don't hesitate with entering the ring. Considering that you gave me the money, you don't have to be afraid of entering the ring, I will inside watch over you maximally and there is no fear but you have to fight."
Serena leads mom into the hall, and in it already stood with hands on hips Isabella but also Dr. Vanessa. While mom was arriving they were whispering something and turned just then. Serena brought mom and lightly pushed her inside.
Isabella: "Here she is."
Serena: "Just enter. There is Isabella."
Mom: "Greetings."
Serena: "Elena, take off your shoes and go barefoot onto the blue surface."
Mom: "Doctor, where are you from here?"
Vanessa: "I wouldn't miss this for anything."
Mom: "Aha."
Serena: "Elena, stand in the middle and one joint photo first. Like that... Elena, Isabella, just to explain briefly, officially. You two are going today into this ring to do an elimination duel. Like in war, the attack is planned with numerical superiority so Isabella today in her corner from outside has the partner Dr. Vanessa, and you Elena will in your corner try to defend yourself alone. Not only yourself but also your son who depends on you just as Isabella will defend her son."
Mom: "I will fight to the end."
Vanessa: "And you must, there is no giving up."
Serena: "OK, Elena as the defender you must endure Isabella's attack 20 minutes. I will explain the rules when you two enter the ring, and Vanessa into Isabella's corner and when your sons come. I ask you Elena that you first enter the ring because that is legally seen confirmation of your good will for participation in this duel."
Mom unwillingly turned toward the ring, grabbed the ropes and pulled her leg through so that she then completely entered. Isabella entered without Serena's request, and Vanessa walked to the corner alone.
Serena: "Here I will now undress and enter."
Serena undressed into a miniature bikini with a floral pattern and showed a perfect sporty body, and then entered among the women in the ring.
Isabella: "I admire you Serena."
Vanessa: "Yes, this really needs to be built."
Mom just stayed silent and watched how Serena approaches.
Serena: "OK, Elena, now you are in the ring for us. Just so that it is clear to you, in the ring it can easily happen that you lose the fight for life. The ring is a place that is a completely enclosed space only for the duel which is otherwise not legal outside the ring and by entering that space you are ready for everything. Is that clear?"
Mom: "Ha now it's over but yes, it's clear."
Isabella: "Yes, now it's late for exiting."
Serena: "I propose that you as the defender stand and lean on the corner in which the doctor stands and that there we negotiate. Now when you entered the ring, that is the key step. I already said that in the changing room, now those 20 minutes of the fight you must do because you cannot go out while the fight is not finished no matter what happens in the ring and no matter how much your son wants that mom go out and stop the fight. Go to the corner so that I call the boys."
Mom walked slowly to the corner, and Serena sent a message on the mobile to me and Isabella's son that we come.
Vanessa: "Come Elena, lean. Here is the soft corner."
Isabella approached mom from the front with hands on hips.
Isabella: "Listen to me well. If you try anything to instruct your son to stop this or to attack my son or me in any way, in front of your eyes I will shorten your son by a head, and then you. Rather surrender early so that you don't suffer, you have no chance anyway."
At that moment we entered so that mom only swallowed a lump and answered nothing. I see mom in the ring, with arms spread in the corner, behind her the enormous tall woman, known to me, Dr. Vanessa, and in front of her with hands on hips and occasionally raises one finger while saying something to mom, Isabella, her opponent. When we entered, Isabella turned and stopped. The extremely attractive Serena showed us where to sit, and she went to the women.
Serena: "OK, settle yourselves the two of you. Now we will start with the rules. There are many of them and there will be negotiations. Although she is fighting against a team, Elena's voice will have equal weight as Isabella's, and mine will decide. Just to say right away what the expected outcomes of the duel are. Elena wants to come out of the ring alive and not lose the fight by the rules. Her goal is that after 20 minutes of the fight she can independently or with small help come out, get dressed and go home with her son. Isabella on the other hand in this duel has the goal to prove that she as a woman is superior and that she should be the boss in the eyeglass store but since Elena refuses to accept that which is completely logical, Isabella requested that in the only legal place such as this, the boxing ring, she completely eliminate Elena."
Me: "Excuse me?"
Marcus: "Shhh, wait so I hear."
Mom: "Are you joking? You Isabella want to kill me?"
Isabella: "I exhausted all the options and now in the ring the last remains. More precisely for you the last. Yes, Elena, I asked Laura and Serena that the fight be prepared in such a way that I get an open opportunity for elimination. Serena went very much toward me with the rules, you will see that. Now unfortunately you have to wait that the rules are agreed and that the fight is held by them. You just have to, you cannot go out of the ring, and I am in better shape than you, I am stronger and Vanessa is on my side."
Vanessa: "Yes, unfortunately Elena, you no longer have my support. It is true, yes, Isabella and I will today in the ring try to kill you."
Marcus: "Wait, just one question. Mom, you managed to bring your boss into the ring and already introduce her inside, and that she doesn't know the rules? And that still with the doctor on your side."
Me: "She was brought by deception."
Marcus: "Complain after the fight. Where were you that you allowed mom to enter the ring."
Me: "If she had known the conditions, she wouldn't have come."
Marcus: "Well that was also the tactic of my mom. Now you have no more choice, mom has to fight."
Serena: "Yes Alex, now mom has to fight against Isabella even if she doesn't survive the fight. Let's return to the rules. Like this, just to announce, the fight will take place only in panties for all three women. All three women are examined and have on themselves no weapon with which they could endanger a safe duel. The duel will therefore be held by fair fight of body against body. The first demand of Isabella which I supported is the duration of the first round. Isabella wants the first round to be lethal for Elena, and later that it be easier for her because she is not in shape. Therefore I adapted the duration of the first round to a full and long 5 minutes and to Isabella in the first round I will allow quite a bit of use of help from the side of Dr. Vanessa."
Me: "Can mom negotiate about the duration of the first round?"
Serena: "Let's go slowly. After every rule that I read mom can give a proposal for negotiations but maximally 3 times in the basic rules. For negotiations about the basic rules mom will have to negotiate directly with me but I will consult about the offered conditions with the opponents. If the negotiations fail, the old and the new rule remain in force. So carefully with the demands."
Mom: "I have to negotiate about the duration of the first round. Is that so Alex?"
Me: "Yes, you must."
Serena: "OK, that is the first demand. Isabella, Vanessa, who will go with me for consultation?"
Isabella: "I."
Isabella went with Serena to the other corner. Serena was writing and it is seen that she is suggesting something to her. They return.
Serena: "Like this. Elena, the first round can be shortened to three minutes which means that at the end there will be 7 rounds of 3 minutes i.e. actually 21 minutes of fight. For you all the same because that is still a lot of time if you are not in condition. If you want that the rounds be distributed like that you have to choose a, b, or c."
a) In the first round it is not possible to surrender the fight from your side in any case
b) In the first minute of the first round both opponents are in the ring
c) You allow that during the fight blows with fists are used in the space of the belly, that is between the panties and the breasts from the front side exclusively.
Mom: "Oh my what a choice. Alex what should I choose?"
Serena: "Elena, this is the first warning for consultation with your son. Alex, please for punishment exit the hall while we with your mom don't agree the rules. You can watch what is happening on the TV by the bar, there is also sound."
I stood up and unwillingly went out while mom followed me with her gaze.
Mom: "This was not necessary Serena."
Serena: "That's how we have it prescribed, I'm sorry."
Mom: "Then in the first round I won't surrender, what should I do."
Serena: "OK. Isabella, is that OK with you?"
Isabella: "Yes, completely OK."
Serena: "Let's go then further. Just so that you understand, levers on the arms and legs and various scissors on the belly, breaking the back and that, is not allowed because injuries are possible."
Isabella: "OK."
Serena: "What is in wrestling completely allowed is something that Elena maybe won't like the most but I think that is at the same time the point why she is here. Namely, Isabella expressly requested that this be a fight in which she will be able to endanger the vital functions of the opponent."
Mom: "Which vital function will you endanger for me?"
Isabella: "Breathing."
Serena: "Yes, breathing."
Mom: "You mean to choke me?"
Vanessa: "Well not choke but it would be more correct to say strangle."
Mom: "Yes, thank you for the correction."
Serena: "The difference is large. What will today be allowed and encouraged in the ring is choking of the brain i.e. the supply of blood to the brain."
Mom: "OK, but for how long. I mean, I'm old, for me easily the heart also stops if it is too long."
Isabella: "We count on that."
Mom: "You're not normal."
Isabella: "I'm not but I'm in a better position than you, and this is my dear a fight for life in which I am completely certain."
Serena: "Let's go further. So. Team-wise Isabella and Vanessa will be able to change in the ring two times during the round by tapping and instant replacement. I imagined the fight in such a way that Elena will have the opportunity of stopping the fight if she cannot breathe, and depending on satisfying the conditions that demand will be approved or refused. Also, her voice will have the opponent who depending then on satisfying her conditions can demand the prolongation of the choking. I will every 10 seconds demand some sign from Elena that she is conscious, and according to that also stop the fight in accordance with the rules. Considering that we will now soon move to negotiations about special rules, I propose that you finally expose your weapons for today i.e. your bodies which you will use in the fight. The first woman who will today here undress will be Elena but I will take off your robe Elena. The attractive judge Serena approached mom who was standing in the corner."
Serena: "Marcus, come look from close, just so that you see with whom your mom is fighting today."
Serena pulled mom out of the corner. Isabella's son approached the ring. The doctor leaned on the corner and looks at mom to whom it is uncomfortable. Isabella also observes with arms crossed under the breasts. Serena pulled the cords of mom's robe and then grabbed the collar so that she opened the robe. To mom the robe easily slid down the body and revealed to the opponents that mom is out of shape and has no expressed muscles. So she stood briefly, and then Serena said...
Serena: "Comments?"
Mom stood proudly with hands on hips. That caused a reaction from Isabella.
Isabella: "There will be work, there is quite a bit of mass here. How much do you weigh Elena?"
Mom: "65 kilos."
Vanessa: "Isabella, and you?"
Isabella: "53."
Vanessa: "I am 57."
Marcus: "But mom, she is only fat, nothing of muscles."
Isabella: "Still she is heavy. But good, we are two, and she is alone. Serena, who undresses next?"
Serena: "You two stand first here in front of her. Elena, you stand again in your corner. I will hold Elena a little while you undress, she must not exit the ring because then she is free and we must not pull her inside any more."
At that moment mom's opponents started undressing. In the span of a few seconds mom's jaw dropped and she swallowed a lump. Mom's opponents approached my mom now.

Mom: "I have no chance alone against you two."
Isabella is slim mom, a bit taller than my mom and Serena, enormous feet with white painted nails and a black bikini with long strings. Vanessa on the other hand has red lacquer on the feet, long strong legs, firm belly and is significantly taller than mom.
Serena: "OK, Vanessa exit so that you guard from outside."
Isabella stood in front of mom with crossed arms and examines her body.
Serena: "OK, now you saw each other. Are there any more comments on the bodies?"
Mom: "Let's go further with the rules, it's a little cold."
Isabella: "You'll warm up quickly."
Mom: "You are all three younger, you don't know how that is."
The doctor behind the corner leaned with her arms on mom.
Mom: "Don't worry Vanessa, I won't run outside."
Isabella: "You are surrounded, there is no escape. We two are in much better shape, we will change regularly, and you will the whole time have to be in the ring alone. In vain your weight, against that you cannot."
Mom: "I know everything. For me the worst is that I don't know how to wrestle."
Vanessa: "That's not the worst for you, we don't know either. The worst is that we are in better shape than you and sooner or later you will turn your back so that we choke you."
Isabella: "Serena, if I choke her in the first round when she cannot surrender, how long can I hold?"
Serena: "I legally have to stop the fight if her saturation falls to some 80% or alternatively after the cessation of convulsions."
Mom: "Well if the convulsions stop, I'm dead."
Serena: "Yes. Therefore you have to surrender earlier so that it doesn't come to them at all because there is no chance that your heart endures the end of the convulsions, and I have here no apparatus for revival, and after you choke, I half a minute don't declare the end of the fight until I check all the vital functions and only when I am certain that you are choked, I allow the entrance of your son so that he pulls you out."
Isabella: "And what if Elena only chokes into unconsciousness like in some short choking?"
Serena: "That we will consider a temporary surrender and after you revive her the fight continues."
Mom: "Please give me back the son inside."
Serena: "No no, you broke the rule."
Mom: "Please."
Vanessa: "Return her the son but punish her somehow differently."
Serena: "OK, Elena, if you want that I return you the son into the hall, during the break of one minute you will have to run 10 circles inside the ring."
Isabella: "Uuuuuu."
Mom: "And when did you intend yourself to return the son into the hall?"
Serena: "When we resolve all the rules."
Mom: "OK, then that first. I cannot run in the break, I have to rest."
Vanessa: "That rule would kill you sooner than many rules that are connected with choking."
Serena: "Yes, her it is only necessary to tire, that is the way for you. Tired she will offer no resistance. But OK. Let's define the main rules that concern choking. So, first question, choking with the legs, do you know how to execute that or should I focus on rear naked?"
Isabella: "Rear naked we only practiced."
Serena: "OK, so I also thought. Rear naked is the best for amateurs. It is effective and once it is locked, the amateur no longer knows how to open it. E so. Elena, just so that you know, the type of lever of choking will enable the opponents collecting points. I will score everything so focus that you make it harder for them. Namely, Isabella wants to choke you and that she will be able to do only with the hands. When the hands completely wrap around the neck, that is one point. If you verbally declare to me "I'm choking", that point I take away from them. You Elena can collect points also if your son addresses to me a verbal demand that I free you because you cannot normally unhindered breathe. I will for that award you a point but of course, you have to free yourself alone. Also, you can get a point if the choking takes place in your corner and you touch it with the hand during the choking. This is all important because the more points Isabella has, the harder the surrender is for you. Isabella gets an additional point if the legs around the belly are locked as scissors with the feet or as triangle squeeze. If she chokes you in her corner, additional point. Additional point Isabella gets also if she verbally declares to your son "Alex, your mom currently doesn't breathe because I'm choking her". If Elena the second time is choked in the round, that is automatically a point for Isabella. If Elena is lying on the floor and on her is lying Isabella, she can demand a point for the so-called "All on the ground". If it is the last minute of the round, Isabella can demand a point. If during the choking the doctor who is Isabella's partner, comes to your corner and holds your towel, symbolically that is the impossibility of stopping the fight by throwing the towel into the ring from the side of your team which unfortunately you don't have but OK, if she holds the towel during the choking that is a point. E now, if the opponent collects 5 points, surrender is not possible for you until you reduce the number of points. It can even be worse, and that is 7 points and then into the ring additionally enters the partner so that you can no longer reduce the number of points either. Additionally, surrender is possible by tapping with the hand on the floor after I establish what is the state of the collected points. Every point is 5 seconds of veto of the surrender from the beginning of the choking."
Mom: "Oh my."
Serena: "That is of the basic points that. Now we will negotiate about additional ways of getting points. Isabella will herself have the right to two, you also to two and Vanessa to one, and at the end I will still award one point on the basis of throwing the dice. Elena, I propose that you first propose your two options for points."
Mom: "Something terrible. These are sick rules and I half forgot. Anyway, I want to get a point if my hands are not directly on the neck but I am defending myself."
Serena: "OK."
Mom: "The second point I want if my saturation is high despite the choking. That is, if I am choking, but my saturation is above 90%."
Serena: "OK, yes, that could save you if at the last moment I take a point from them so that you surrender."
Mom: "Exactly."
Isabella: "Now me?"
Serena: "Yes."
Isabella: "I want the first additional point if Elena has no possibility with both soles to touch the floor. The second point I want if my partner from outside can reach and squeeze the breasts of the opponent."
Serena: "Excellent idea. OK. Can still Vanessa."
Vanessa: "If Elena's towel was with us in the previous round, and also in this we got a point we have the right to an additional point."
Serena: "Excellent idea. Still I will throw the dice and we start. Elena, even or odd?"
Mom: "Even."
Serena: "OK, if it is an even number, to you goes the right to an additional rule for a point. 6, bravo."
Mom: "If with the son I manage to verbally communicate during the choking, I have the right to a point."
Serena: "OK. Nothing. This is Elena's corner, I will call Alex, he heard all the rules. You two go to your corner and the fight will soon start. Just so that you know Elena, during the fight there is no running from the ring because if the round starts, we can also return you inside. Good luck."
I came inside and mom was on one side, and Isabella on the other.
((Summary of the points system:
Mom's points:

If I admit that she is choking
If she is defending and the arms are not direct on the neck

Isabella's points:
If she locks the arms

If she is near her corner
If they have mom's towel
If they have the towel in the previous round
If the doctor can squeeze mom's breasts
If mom is not touching with the soles the floor
If the belly is wrapped with legs
If she chokes her in her corner
If she is in the position All on the ground))

Serena: "The first round of three minutes can start. Begin!"
Mom came out of the corner, Isabella started on her and quickly threw her down into mount. Mom is in scissors around the belly and the arms are around the shoulders.
Marcus: "Bravo mom, just squeeze so that it hurts her."
Isabella throws mom onto the side from the mount and now mom hugs her with the arms and holds her leg. Isabella freed the leg and lay on the side, perpendicular to mom although they are hugged from the front.
Serena: "OK, half a minute passed. Isabella controls Elena. Isabella, just so that you know, the squeeze on the neck from the front is not allowed, maybe I will have to stop. Yes. Stop."
Mom: "She was choking me, how..."
Serena: "Well that is only pressure on the neck. Let's go further with the wrestling, I stopped in time. One minute of the fight passed."

Part 3
The women are again hugged, on their feet. Isabella hugs mom so that she pulls her to the floor. Mom falls on the knees first.
Me: "Mom, don't just turn the back."
Mom doesn't allow herself, she freed herself and goes on Isabella who is lying. Isabella hugged her with the arms.
Me: "Mom, think only about the back."
Mom: "Yes yes, I know."
Serena: "We are entering the last minute of the round. Can you Elena?"
Mom: "It goes."
Vanessa: "She is already breathing hard."
Mom: "E, there is no bending of the arm."
Isabella freed mom and pushed her from herself barely but mom didn't give up and sits on Isabella. Isabella freed herself.
Me: "Mom watch out. Mom, the back. Mom, mom, mommmm"
Mom was trying to turn onto the side so that she raises herself but she didn't have control over Isabella's escape. Luckily it is early in the course of the fight.
Serena: "Isabella has Elena's back."
Vanessa: "Let's go Isabella on the first choking so that right in the first round we choke her."
Me: "Mom, while you still can, run from her corner. On the knees pull yourself out of the zone of the corner."
Serena: "Still half a minute."
Isabella: "Defend the neck, I can't her, wait."
Vanessa: "E like that, throw her onto yourself."
Isabella now has mom on herself and the right arm she controls. Mom returns to the knees but it is not good.
Serena: "The choking of Elena started!"
Mom: "I'm choking!"
Me: "Mom doesn't breathe, free her!"
Serena: "They reacted quickly!"
Isabella: "Alex, I'm choking your mom, she doesn't breathe!"
Serena: "Bravo Isabella, you annulled all their points."
Isabella: "And for the last minute a point! Vanessa, go for the towel so that we have it for the second round."
Serena: "13 seconds still to the end of the round. 5 seconds passed in the choking how many you will now get for the towel."
Vanessa: "OK, the towel is mine."
Serena: "Elena, you can surrender."
Mom tapped on the floor and Isabella released the choking.
Serena: "5,4,3,2,1 end of the round"
Mom got up from the floor and started to her corner, and Isabella to hers.
Me: "Mom, how is it? How was it for you to be choked, the first time in life."
Mom: "Horrific. That feeling that I cannot breathe as I want and that her arms are squeezed around my neck, that is terrible. And she next to my ear breathes normally. Serena, can I get a little water?"
Serena: "Of course"
Serena hands mom a glass of water.
Serena: "Still half a minute and we go into the second round. The first round was quite clear and Isabella dominated. Early choking, bravo. Elena, the second round could be turning for you because if also the second round you are choked and Isabella dominates you, everything further is for you on the level of surrender. In some eventual fourth round she will easily collect 5 points because you are over-tired."
Mom: "Well I have to a little recover also from this choking."
Serena: "Continuation in 10 seconds."
Me: "Mom, only the back protect now, don't be afraid."
Serena: "Start"
The moms charged and hugged. Isabella is in the hug of mom's legs but Isabella has experience, she turns mom. Me now it tightened around the heart, mom is not revealing the back hopefully.
Me: "Oh no."
Isabella: "Vanessa, be ready to go for the towel."
Mom: "Uh. Glurhglll"
Serena: "She didn't manage, the windpipe is squeezed."
Vanessa ran for the towel.
Me: "Mom is being choked ."
Isabella: "Alex I'm choking your mom. I think that I'm now leading her into convulsions."
Serena: "One point for your mom, let's sum Isabella's points. First for locking, second for the towel in the first round third for the towel in this, fourth declaration, fifth for all on the ground, sixth because the soles are in the air. Elena, this is bad. There is no surrender until further. This is that perfect choking where Elena has no exit."
Me: "Mom, the last is the time that you undertake something."
Serena: "Elena, 10 seconds passed, give me some sign that you are alive, I don't see the eyes."
Me: "Measure her the saturation.."
Vanessa: "Squeeze her stronger, she hasn't choked yet"
Serena: "Saturation 93. Definitely hypoxia but Elena has the right to one point. Still 5 points has Isabella. Approaching 20 seconds in the choking, what is happening, I don't see whether the arms are directly on the neck because it looks that Elena is not choked, and she should have been. Still 5 seconds and you can surrender Elena."
Isabella: "I think that they are direct on the neck."
Vanessa: "Squeeze her stronger!"
Isabella tensed the arms from all strength and made a grimace on the face. It seemed to me that I saw mom's arm how it then fell out of the hug. Mom was defending herself but that the judge didn't see.
Serena: "Elena, you can surrender. Elena."

Part 4
For a moment nobody moved. Serena had said that Elena could surrender, but Mom did not tap. Isabella still had her back and the rear naked choke stayed locked around her neck.
Serena: "Elena. You have permission to surrender now. Tap if you want the fight stopped."
Mom's right hand twitched against Isabella's forearm, but it did not reach the floor.
Me: "She is trying! Serena, she is trying to tap!"
Serena: "No. A surrender must be a clear tap or a verbal surrender. I cannot invent one for her."
Vanessa: "Exactly. The rule was explained before the round."
Isabella: "Then she has not surrendered."
Isabella pulled Mom tighter against her chest and settled behind her. Mom's knees scraped over the mat as she tried to get one foot under herself. For a second she almost rose, dragging Isabella with her.
Me: "Mom, stand up! Get your feet under you!"
Serena: "Alex, no coaching beyond what I permit. One more interference and you leave the hall."
Me: "She cannot breathe!"
Vanessa: "That is the point of the hold."
Vanessa was still holding Mom's towel. She did not look worried. She watched Isabella's arms and Mom's face with the concentration of somebody following a difficult procedure.
Vanessa: "Keep the position, Isabella. Do not waste energy changing it."
Mom managed to get one knee up. Her left hand pulled at Isabella's arm while the right searched blindly for something to grab. For perhaps two seconds it looked as though she might turn toward Isabella and create enough space to breathe.
Isabella: "No, no. You stay here."
Isabella dragged her backward again. Mom's feet left the mat for a moment as Isabella hooked her legs around her waist. That immediately gave Isabella another point under the rules they had negotiated.
Serena: "Feet off the floor. One point for Isabella."
Me: "You are counting points while she is being choked?"
Serena: "That is my job. Sit down."
Vanessa: "And I still have the towel. Count that too."
Serena: "Already counted."
Mom's movements became less organized. She was no longer trying to stand. She pulled once at Isabella's wrist, then pushed at the mat as if she had forgotten where the hold was coming from.
Me: "Mom, say something to me. Just say anything."
Her mouth opened. Only a rough sound came out.
Serena: "No valid verbal surrender."
Isabella: "Alex, your mom is still in my choke and she still has not surrendered."
Serena: "Point for the declaration."
Vanessa smiled at that and squeezed the towel between both hands.
Vanessa: "Beautiful. Keep her there."
I stood up.
Me: "Enough. I am coming in."
Serena immediately stepped between me and the ropes.
Serena: "No. You were warned before the fight. Family may watch. Family may not enter."
Me: "She is my mother."
Serena: "And she entered the ring under these rules."
Me: "She cannot even answer you."
Serena: "Then the rule for an unresponsive fighter applies. You do not get to replace it because you dislike the result."
Marcus was watching from the other side. He looked at me, then at his mother.
Marcus: "Alex, sit down. Your mom agreed to this."
Me: "Shut up."
Serena: "Alex, last warning."
Mom's body suddenly stiffened in Isabella's arms. Her legs straightened and then jerked. Isabella's expression changed--not to fear, but to surprise.
Isabella: "Serena?"
Serena: "Hold position. I am observing."
Mom jerked again. Her shoulders pulled upward and one hand struck the mat without rhythm. I shouted that she was tapping, but Serena shook her head.
Me: "That is a tap! Stop it!"
Serena: "No. Those are involuntary movements. They do not constitute surrender."
Vanessa: "Correct."
Vanessa leaned closer over the ropes. Mom's legs kicked twice against the blue surface and then drew inward. Isabella kept the rear choke exactly where it was.
Isabella: "She is convulsing."
Vanessa: "I can see that."
Isabella: "Do I release?"
Serena: "No. Not until the stopping condition is met. You were told the same rule Elena was told."
Vanessa: "Stay disciplined. Do not give her an escape because you became nervous at the finish."
The three women spoke as if the most important thing in the room was not Mom's body but whether every clause was being applied correctly.
Me: "You are all insane. Look at her!"
Serena: "I am looking at her. I am also enforcing the agreement."
Mom's face had gone slack between the spasms. Her arms no longer defended her neck. Another convulsion ran through her body, smaller than the one before. Isabella adjusted her balance but did not open the hold.
Isabella: "She stopped fighting."
Vanessa: "Good. Then you have complete control."
Serena: "Elena, if you can hear me, give me a clear sign."
Mom gave none.
Me: "She cannot give you a sign because she is unconscious!"
Serena: "That does not authorize you to enter."
I grabbed the top rope. Serena caught my wrist and pushed it away.
Serena: "Do not cross the ropes."
Me: "What are you going to do, disqualify me?"
Serena: "I will remove you and the fight will continue without you watching. Decide which you prefer."
I let go because the thought of Mom being left in there without me was worse.
The convulsions became shorter. One leg trembled, stopped, then moved again. Isabella looked toward Serena every few seconds, waiting for permission.
Isabella: "Still?"
Serena: "Still."
Vanessa: "You wanted a decisive finish. This is the decisive part."
Isabella nodded. Her breathing was heavy from the wrestling, but she was smiling now. Vanessa smiled back at her.
Vanessa: "You have her."
Isabella: "Yes."
Mom gave one final violent shudder and then became completely still in Isabella's arms.
The change was so sudden that even I stopped shouting for a second.
Serena: "No movement."
Serena crouched beside them, watching Mom closely but still not touching Isabella.
Serena: "Isabella, maintain until I declare the condition."
Me: "She is limp!"
Serena: "I can see that."
Several more seconds passed. To me they felt longer than the entire first round.
Serena: "Condition satisfied. Release."
Isabella immediately opened her arms. Mom slid from her chest onto the mat and remained there on her side.
Serena: "The bout is stopped. Isabella wins by elimination under the agreed rules."
Vanessa raised Isabella's hand before Serena even asked her to.
Vanessa: "You did it."
Isabella: "I told you I would."
Marcus clapped once and then stopped when he looked at Mom on the floor. Serena nevertheless took Isabella's wrist and formally raised her arm.
Serena: "Winner: Isabella."
All three women looked satisfied. Serena because the rules had produced an unambiguous result, Vanessa because the side she had chosen had won, and Isabella because the position she wanted was now, in her mind, hers.
Me: "Now let me in."
Serena: "Wait."
Me: "What now?"
Serena: "The result has to be recorded first."
She dictated the finish time into her phone while Mom lay motionless beside Isabella.
Me: "Serena!"
Serena: "Recorded. You may approach now."
I was through the ropes before she finished the sentence. Vanessa was already kneeling beside Mom, no longer smiling.
Vanessa: "Elena?"
She checked her quickly. Her expression hardened.
Vanessa: "Serena, call emergency services."
Me: "What is wrong?"
Vanessa: "Back away."
Me: "What is wrong with her?"
Vanessa: "I cannot find a pulse."
Everything after that stopped feeling like part of the fight. Vanessa began resuscitation while Serena made the emergency call. Isabella stood only a few steps away, still breathing hard, one hand on the top rope.
Isabella: "Is she dead?"
Vanessa: "Not if I can help it. Move."
Serena ordered Marcus to bring the emergency equipment from reception. I tried to stay beside Mom, but Serena pushed me back again so Vanessa had room.
Me: "I want to stay with her."
Serena: "Then stay out of the way."
The same woman who had refused to stop the hold a minute earlier now spoke to the dispatcher in a calm, precise voice. The contradiction made me hate her even more.
Emergency staff arrived and took over. They worked around Mom while Serena gave them the short version: prolonged wrestling, rear neck hold, loss of responsiveness, convulsions, release after the rule threshold, then no detectable pulse.
Paramedic: "How long was she unresponsive before release?"
Serena: "It is all timed on the recording."
Paramedic: "I asked you for an estimate."
Serena: "Long enough that the stopping condition was reached."
The paramedic stared at her, then turned back to Mom without answering.
After continued resuscitation they detected circulation again. Nobody celebrated. The paramedics prepared Mom for immediate transport.
Me: "Can I go with her?"
Paramedic: "Follow us to the hospital. We need space in the ambulance."
As they carried Mom out, Isabella remained inside the ring.
Isabella: "Serena, the result still stands?"
I turned around because I could not believe she had asked it.
Serena: "Yes. The fight ended before the medical intervention. The result stands."
Vanessa: "Good."
Me: "My mother is being taken to hospital and that is what you care about?"
Vanessa: "The two things are separate. Medically, I hope she survives. As for the contest, she lost."
Isabella: "And that means the boss position is settled."
Me: "You are unbelievable."
Isabella: "Your mother knew why she entered."
I followed the stretcher out before I did something that would give Serena another rule to enforce against me.
Part 5
At the hospital they took Mom directly into emergency care. I sat in the corridor for nearly an hour before anyone gave me information. Vanessa arrived later, now dressed, because she wanted to give the medical team her account of the collapse.
Me: "You do not need to be here."
Vanessa: "I was present. They asked me to explain what happened."
Me: "You were more than present."
Vanessa: "Yes. I was on Isabella's side."
She said it without apology.
Me: "And you are fine with that?"
Vanessa: "I am not fine with a cardiac arrest. I am fine with the result of the fight. Those are different questions."
Me: "To you maybe."
A doctor eventually came out and asked for Mom's family.
Hospital doctor: "Elena has regained circulation, but she remains unconscious. We are transferring her to intensive care and we cannot yet predict her neurological recovery."
Me: "Will she wake up?"
Hospital doctor: "We do not know yet."
That was the answer for the rest of the night.
I called Penny. I called Tanya. I did not call Isabella, although she sent several messages asking only whether Mom was alive. The last message from Isabella said: 'Please confirm only survival status. The administrative result is already clear.'
Mom woke late the next afternoon. She could open her eyes and recognize me, but at first she could not speak clearly. Her memory stopped somewhere in the second round before Isabella fully secured her back.
Mom: "Did I lose?"
It was the first complete sentence she managed.
Me: "Yes."
Mom: "How?"
Me: "Isabella choked you unconscious. You had convulsions. They did not let me enter. When the hold was finally released, your heart had stopped. They did CPR and brought you here."
Mom looked at me for a long time. Tears appeared in her eyes but she did not cry.
Mom: "And the others?"
Me: "They say the result stands."
Mom closed her eyes.
Mom: "Of course they do."
She spent eleven days in hospital. The first days were dominated by neurological checks, cardiac monitoring and uncertainty. She gradually recovered enough to walk with help and speak normally, but fatigue and memory gaps remained. Doctors told us that recovery could continue for months and that nobody could promise she would return exactly to how she had been before.
Isabella never visited. Vanessa came once, but not to apologize. She brought a written statement confirming that Isabella had won under the studio rules and that Mom had required resuscitation only after the bout was formally over.
Mom: "You brought this to my hospital room?"
Vanessa: "You will receive it officially anyway."
Mom: "Did you come to see how I am?"
Vanessa: "I can see that you survived."
Mom: "And that is enough for you?"
Vanessa: "For the medical question, yes. For the work question, the center still needs a head."
Mom: "Get out."
Vanessa left the paper on the cabinet and walked out.
Three days later management contacted Mom. They did not recognize the fight as a formal employment procedure, but they also did not restore the old situation. Mom was placed on extended medical leave, and Isabella was appointed acting head of the eyeglass store because somebody had to run it.
That temporary appointment was exactly what Isabella had wanted from the beginning.
Tanya called me after Isabella's first week as acting head.
Tanya: "She changed everything already."
Me: "Is she good at it?"
Tanya: "She is very good with patients. And she makes sure everybody knows she won."
Me: "Won what?"
Tanya: "That is exactly how she says it. She calls it winning the branch."
Mom heard that conversation from the sofa.
Mom: "Give me the phone."
Tanya: "Boss?"
Mom: "Do not call me boss. Not while she is sitting in my chair."
Tanya: "For us you still are."
Mom: "That does not change who signs the papers."
Her voice broke on the last sentence.
Penny tried to persuade Mom to fight the entire arrangement legally. Mom met a lawyer twice, but the process was slow and exhausting. The contracts were badly written, the studio rules were questionable, and the employment issue was legally separate from the fight itself. Nothing produced the immediate reversal Mom wanted.
Meanwhile Isabella became less temporary every week. Vanessa supported her with management. Carla did not oppose them. Laura supplied copies of the signed documents and insisted that Elena had chosen the duel after alternatives were explained. Serena's written report was cold and exact: Elena entered, the rules were negotiated, the point system prevented surrender for a period, Isabella secured a rear naked choke, Elena became unresponsive and convulsed, the designated stopping condition was reached, Isabella released, and Isabella was declared the winner before resuscitation began.
Serena did not write that I had begged her to stop. She wrote only: 'Spectator attempted unauthorized intervention and was prevented from entering the ring in accordance with the rules.'
Mom read that sentence three times.
Mom: "Spectator."
Me: "That is what they called me."
Mom: "You were my son."
Me: "I know."
Mom never returned to the store as its head. Months later she was medically capable of limited work, but by then management had confirmed Isabella in the position on an interim basis pending a later formal selection. Mom could have returned under her. She refused.
Mom: "I will not stand behind that counter while she gives me instructions."
Me: "Then don't."
Mom: "That means she gets exactly what she wanted."
Me: "She already did."
Mom looked at me angrily, but she knew I was right.
The worst part was not the scar from the hospital equipment, the fatigue, or even the moments when her memory failed. It was that the fight had reduced thirty years of work to a result everybody around her had agreed to treat as final.
Isabella eventually sent one last message.
Isabella: "Elena, I hope your recovery continues. I do not regret competing with you. We both entered knowing that only one of us could come out as the stronger woman. I did. I wish you health."
Mom showed it to me and then deleted it.
Me: "Do you want to answer?"
Mom: "No."
She put the phone down and looked out the window.
Mom: "There is nothing left to say."
In the end Isabella got the branch, Vanessa got the outcome she had supported, Serena got a fight that followed her rules, and Laura could point to Elena's signatures. They all had something with which to justify themselves.
Mom had survived.
But survival was not victory, and nobody in that room had ever promised her one.
