Colton stumbles up his driveway, his sunglasses still on despite the sun now going down in the early evening. He holds his head and turns to Alistair and Bailey who both try not to laugh, Colton gets to the door, his hands fumbling for his keys as he opens the lock, all three walk in with Colton moaning in pain “Argh, please don’t ever let me drink like that agai-“ Colton stops mid sentence, his eyes trail up to the couch.
“C-conni?” Colton swallows as his wife struggles to cover her upper body which until that point was nude and being fondled by another man. Colton’s jaw stays dropped, Conni adjusts herself struggling to get her shirt on, the other half of this sordid show sits confused. His preppy boy business style short cut a little messed, his shirt undone from the first 3 buttons. Alistair slowly looks at his brother, he swallows hard and noticed a small spark in his brother’s eyes. “Oh…shit”
Before Alistair can stop him Colton is over the couch, his forearm slammed into the throat of the usurper. Coltons eyes burn with a flash of red as he pushes harder and harder, the veins in his arms exploding as blood courses through them. “P-please, I-I didn’t kn-“ Colton pushes harder and roars into his face. “I’M GOING TO KILL YOU” Colton shakes as the rage takes over, but slowly it disappears as he feels a hand on his shoulder and her voice in his ear “Please Colton, stop, he didn’t know.”
A few deep breaths and he is dropped to his knees. Colton looks down at the quivering mess of a man and simply adds coldly “Leave….” He sheepishly nods grabbing his jacket and making his way passed Bailey and Alistair. Both of them look shocked as Colton turns to his wife, all emotion gone from his eyes and face. “Why?” The question was simple enough, Conni’s eyes welled with tears as she kept her upper body covered, her shoulders moved up in a shrug motion as she tried to hide the sadness.
“I told you Colt. I was lonely.” Colton shook his head and round his teeth together. “How long?” Conni shook her head and moved back sitting on the couch. “Long enough. I’m sor-“ Colton interrupted with a blast of anger that none of those who knew him best had ever seen. “I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT.” Conni gets to her feet and shakes her head. “You’ll wake our son…..”
Colton’s anger burned hotter than before, his fists clenched as he moves closer, Bailey went to move between them, Alistair stopped her, giving Bailey a reassuring nod that Conni was safe. “Our son?....he’s in the house while you…..while you cheat on me?.....” Colton’s voice was a low growl, hurt and angry but with a measured control.
Conni moves close, her hands reaches up and touched his cheek, Colton seemed to soften as he looked into her eyes, but then passed her to two win glasses sitting on the coffee table. The anger snapped back and Colton moved back, hurt and wounded like a beast caught in a trap after being betrayed. “Get out……get out of my sight….”
Conni looked shocked, she turned to Alistair who looked away, then to Bailey whose kind eyes were sympathetic to her, but also loving and respectful to Colton. “I-……I understand….I’ll be in touch to…see what we are doing…” Conni picked up her back, her keys and went to grab her wedding band. She stopped and left it there pushing out the door.
Colton stood in his living room alone, his eyes trailing down to his simple silver wedding band, a single tear falling to the floor. “Colt….are you….nevermind, stupid question….c’mon Bailey…I think he needs some time” Bailey gave a quick nod, but not before putting a hand on Colton’s giant shoulder, he turned and gave her a nod and a half smile as a thank you before surveying his broken life….

“You know the best thing about this business?. The greatest thing?.”
“Opportunity”
“Everyone can have the same opportunity and you can work your way up the ladder if you want it. As fast as you want or, lacking ambition, as slow. Now my brother and I have climbed the tag team ranks fast, we have beaten as many teams as have been put in front of us and the night after High stakes we will take on Killian Creed and his new tag team partner to become the IWF tag team champions….”
“But before that both my brother and I will be in the roulette.”
Titan nods and smiles.
“We have a shot at winning this thin and going on to Night of the immortals to face whoever the IWF imperial champion is. Yes, I said WHOEVER the champion is. Other competitors seem to believe it’s a far-gone conclusion that Alex Jones will keep the belt till then.”
“Despite facing Mike Laszlo.”
“Despite another show between high stakes and Night of the immortals.”
“Thing is this match is about punching your ticket, it’s about leapfrogging people and jumping into the main event. Anyone can win this, anyone can claim their shot. And I plan on doing my best to get that shot. I don’t care who I have to o through, Spike Kane, Eddie Black, Renee Pleasant…even my brother….”
“At the end of the night it is every man for himself…..and I will be fihting as a Titan above men…..”
Well howdy there pardner.
