I am the youngest Empress Fist in the world, and my boyfriend is a three-time championship belt holder.
People say we're a power couple, a match made in heaven.
But just as I finished an important match, I overheard my boyfriend talking with a woman outside the locker room.
"You're still the best fit for her. What am I compared to that? She could probably kill me with one punch."
The man's voice was seductive and husky, yet when mentioning me, it carried a hint of disdain.
"Of course, you and I are the perfect match. Look at her, there's nothing womanly about her at all. She won't even agree to have a child. What kind of woman is that?"
"I've been tired of her for years now. You're the kind of little temptress that really captures my heart."
In that moment, the dream I'd been living for ten years finally shattered.
I took a deep breath and called the gym manager who had been inviting me to join.
"Manager Bennett? Remember when you asked me to sign with your gym? I'm in."

I thought this would put an end to it, but for the next week, Zoran camped out at the Agym entrance every day, demanding to see me face-to-face.


I didn't want to give him the time of day, but our relationship history had always been under scrutiny. Not to mention, I was at the height of my career, and countless reporters were swarming, eager to get the scoop from him.


Eventually, I had Britta bring him into my green room.


As soon as he entered, Zoran wasted no time in interrogating me.


"Faye! What the hell are you playing at? Come back with me right now! Do you have any idea how much chaos you've caused at the gym?"


I remained silent, just staring at him coldly.


Seeing that I wasn't responding, Zoran's voice softened.


"Faye, are you still upset about the Aria situation? Haven't I already explained everything to you? Why won't you believe me? We've been together for so many years, don't you know me at all?"
