FORTY DAYS AFTER SAYING “I DO”
TRAVIS
Humble City Fitness
Las Vegas, Nevada
My public approval rating was tilting a full one-eighty from where it stood weeks ago.
Sponsors, new and old, were requesting meetings and second chances left and right. The UFC was offering pre-sale tickets to celebrities for a rematch without even giving the official date.
“Travis Carter” had atoned for his skid of bad behavior and was almost back on top.
The unmarried Travis Carter would’ve called his entourage and booked a yacht for a week-long party in the South of France to celebrate.
Unfortunately, the only person I wanted to celebrate this occasion with was my wife, but I didn’t have time to take her anywhere.
I was planning to suggest that we take an entire month and travel around the world after my rematch.
The moment it was over.
As I scrolled through today’s headlines, someone walked into my office.
“Whoever you are, I don’t want to be bothered for at least two hours,” I said. “Go away.”
The steps came closer.
“If I turn around and the words out of your mouth aren’t ‘Your condo is on fire,’ I swear to God…”
“Your wife is leaving you.” Ryan’s voice was loud and clear.
“What?” I immediately turned around. “What do you mean?”
“She’s leaving you, sir. For good. ”
“How do you know that?”
He tapped a tablet and held it before me, revealing a video of Tatiana standing in front of the elevator. She was clasping an oversized red suitcase.
“A crew of men came up hours ago and took out a ton of boxes,” Ryan said. “I thought it was related to her Chanel dress fitting so I thought nothing of it. If I’d known the truth, I would’ve said something far earlier, sir.”
“I believe you.” I turned up the volume and squinted at the screen.
“Come on, come on, come on…” Tatiana attacked the down button. “Hurry up…”
“Would you like me to have the engineer slow the elevator so you can catch her, sir?”
“Of course,” I said, standing up. “Do it now.”

Tatiana stood before me,saying words I wasn’t wholly catching. I was responding on autopilot, too turned on by how fucking beautiful she looked.
At some point, two fans boarded the elevator with us and asked for pictures, and when they stepped off, I decided to end this back-and-forth once and for all.
“Okay, look.” Tatiana looked into my eyes, her irises full of the usual denial. “I’m saying this in the nicest way possible. I’m not the slightest bit attracted to you anymore, and it pains me to be near you.”
“So if I were to slide my hand under your dress right now, your pussy wouldn’t be wet for me?”
