How Everything Changed (Book 4)

Chapter 13

*Ethan*

Perfect, I got her mad enough at Matt. That brings me one step closer to having her as mine. Once I win the match in 2 weeks, no one, not even her precious little boyfriend would be able to take her away again. It would take me a little time to get her convinced that Jeff was just bad news after I won. I could give her anything she wanted, and Jeff? Jeff could only give her jealous and a broken heart every so often. I couldn't go after him, so his brother was the next best option.

I saw her walk past Matt and Jeff and towards the elevator. Matt turned to me and gave me the mother of all death glares. I shrugged it off and walked away smirking with Tyrus behind me. Bully walked up to me and stopped me from walking any further.

"Okay," Bully started and I just stood there with a giant smirk on my face. "Here's what's going to happen--"

"Mark," I said calling him by his real name. "You don't have to say anymore, you approve the match stipulation. I always knew you were the smart one. I mean, I came in about the same time that Aces and Eights had been taken down. You were always the smart one in that group."

"Well," Bully said. "While I appreciate the complement, you need to know that me getting involved in that group was the biggest mistake of my life. I was in your position about a year ago and I hurt the ones that I pretended I loved and respected. I got involved in something I shouldn't have and that's the situation that you're facing. Is having Morgan by your side really going to change anything? She's not a prize to be won and I think you shouldn't be involved in what she has going with the Hardys. I'm sorry, but I cannot accept this match request. It wouldn't be right to Morgan, and it wouldn't be right to me."

"Are you sure you cant do the match request? I'm sure Tyrus here would love to change your mind," I said as Tyrus stood tall next to me.

"Are you threatening me? You do realize I've fought people bigger than him, and stronger than him," Bully said removing the sunglasses off of his head. "It's no, Ethan. I'm not going to change my mind on this. Gentlemen." He nodded and walked back to his office and I stood there growling. How dare he deny me, does he know who I am?! I'm Ethan freaking Carter the 3rd. I'm the World Heavyweight Champion. This was a monkey wrench in my plan, but mark my words, I was going to find a way around this. Even if it means getting Morgan alone...
