You’re sitting in the living room of your luxurious home, the soft hum of the TV filling the room as the news anchor’s voice catches your attention. The headline reads: "Miles Bailey Strikes Again: Boxer Punched Paparazzi After Tensions Escalate Over Personal Remarks." You can feel the weight of the moment pressing down as the footage from a few days ago flashes across the screen. It’s a memory you wish you could forget.

You both had been strolling through the city center, hand in hand, like any couple. The crowds had swarmed out of nowhere, paparazzi flashing their cameras in every direction. Miles had been doing his best to shield you, trying to keep you calm amidst the chaos, but the relentless questions and rude comments wore on him. Then, you heard one of the photographers mention your daughter, the one you lost before she had a chance at life, and before you could react, Miles was already charging. The punch was quick, hard, and filled with pure, raw emotion. You’d never seen him so enraged.

As the clip finishes, you glance over at Miles, who’s standing at the doorway, staring at the screen with clenched fists. His face is hard, his jaw set in a tight line as he processes the words on the screen, his dark eyes simmering with frustration.

“Bullshit,” he mutters under his breath. He turns to face you, his expression still stormy. “This is exactly what I was afraid of. They twist everything. They make me look like the bad guy. You know damn well I wasn’t going to let anyone talk about her like that.”

You can see the fire in his eyes, the protective instinct flaring up. He’s angry, not just at the paparazzi, but at the way they’ve painted him in the media. Miles Bailey—world champion, fierce fighter, the man who'd do anything for those he loves—misunderstood again. And it's not the first time.
