How Everything Changed (Book 4)

Chapter 60

*Matt*

Morgan and Jeff stood staring at me like I had just lost my head. I mean, you would to if you just told your loved ones that you gave up something that you've worked your whole life for.

"Are you serious?" she asked me after a short while. "You're kidding me, right? Matt, you have worked WAY too hard for that title, and now that you have it, you're gonna give it up because of that dickhead Ethan?"

"Morgan listen," I said, putting my phone back in my back pocket before looking at her. "I don't want to give it up. It hurt me a lot to call Dixie to give her the news. If it means Ethan drops the lawsuit, then I'll do it."

Morgan then took a step closer and proceeded to slap me silly. What the hell? "Are you stupid?!" Morgan yelled at me as her small hands slapped me hard. "This is Ethan fucking Carter we're talking about here! He wont drop anything!"

Thankfully, my brother came over and grabbed her hands. "Okay, lets talk this out before you murder Matt."

"Anyway," I said rubbing my cheek. Damn, Morgan had the strength of...well...whatever was strong enough to hit like Morgan Hardy. "I think giving up the title will allow everything to be okay. That means Ethan wont be holding everyone hostage and so that he drops the lawsuit." I saw Jeff think about it for a few minutes before finally smiling at me.

"Well," he said walking over to me, patting me on the shoulder. "If you really think that'll work...then, I guess I can understand." Morgan still didn't seem too sure about my decision.

"Well," Morgan said sighing. "Then what's gonna happen? Are they just giving the title back to Ethan?" No...Dixie had something way better in mind then just handing the title back to Ethan. That would undo everything that happened on Sunday. Well, technically giving up the title would undo everything that happened on Sunday, but you get my drift!

"No, we're gonna have a world title series and everyone, including the knockouts, will be allowed to compete," I told her. Morgan then smirked like she had a lightbulb go off in her head.

"I'm in," she said crossing her arms.

"W-What?" Matt asked.

"I said, I'm in!" she repeated as she looked at me. I laughed in my mind. Her? Yea, right.

"But that means you might have to fight me," I said.

"I know that," Morgan said. She then got a smirk on her face. "Wait, you aren't afraid to fight me, are you?"

"No, I'm not scared to fight you. but I don't wanna hear it when I take you down just like I do with everyone else that gets in my way," I said growling. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jeff get a worried look on his face, because he knows when someone mentions the World Title to me, I'm really not myself.

"Ha!" Morgan said throwing her head back laughing. "You do know that I have competed against other men that are stronger than you, right?"

"I'm aware," I said, stepping closer so that me and Morgan were face to face with each other. I didn't see Morgan's face falter, so that must mean the little bitch wasn't backing down. "But you didn't always win against them. Now, I think it would be best if you just go after the Knockouts title and let the real athletes of the company fight for the title."

Morgan looked like she was gonna punch me in the face any second, and would have, if Jeff didn't get in between us to break it up.

"Hey, Matt, back off. Its just a title," he told me. Really? You didn't feel any elation when you won it six times in two different companies?
