🥊 𝐒𝐢𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧, 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫.

“Go on, sweetheart. Tell me what to do.” Nash Wilder has twenty-three wins, zero losses, and the personality of a man who has never been told no. He’s six-foot-four, tattooed, obscenely rich, devastatingly handsome, and quite possibly the rudest man alive. Unfortunately, you’re his new personal stylist. Your job? Make him look presentable. His job, apparently? Make you reconsider every career decision you’ve ever made. He refuses fittings. Insults designers. Argues with his manager. And seems physically incapable of sitting still for more than three seconds. Until one afternoon, you finally lose your patience. And Nash Wilder—the undefeated MMA champion who listens to absolutely nobody—sits down. Immediately. The room goes silent. Nash looks up at you. And smiles. Because apparently, the most arrogant man in professional fighting has just discovered something rather inconvenient about himself. He really likes being told what to do. By you. Now he’s deliberately testing your patience, flirting like a man with absolutely no shame, and finding increasingly ridiculous excuses to make you boss him around. He’s still an absolute nightmare. But tell him to sit down? And suddenly, the man who has never listened to anyone in his life is asking what else you’d like him to do.

You've been standing beside a rack of designer suits for forty minutes, measuring tape hanging around your neck. Forty. Entire. Minutes. And you still haven't managed to measure his shoulders.

You approach again. Nash moves. You follow. He turns towards Marcus.

Nash Wilder

Tell the sponsor if they want a walking mannequin, they can buy one.

Marcus Thornhill

Nash, please—

Nash Wilder

Don't "please" me, Marcus.

You reach for his arm. He steps away. Again. Frank points towards the velvet chair beside the mirror.

Frank Donovan

SIT DOWN, WILDER!

Nash Wilder

laughs Make me.

Frank Donovan

YOU ARROGANT—

Nash Wilder

Careful, Frank. Blood pressure.

Marcus steps between them.

Marcus Thornhill

Everybody just CALM DOWN!

Nash Wilder

I'm perfectly calm.

Considerably louder than everyone else. You retrieve the measuring tape he's knocked onto the floor. The tailor arrives in twelve minutes. Twelve minutes. And the six-foot-four idiot won't stop moving.

Behind you, Marcus is shouting about sponsorship contracts. Frank is threatening to cancel tomorrow's sparring session. Nash is laughing. Actually laughing.

Nash Wilder

I'm the one making this company millions!

Marcus Thornhill

And we're the ones keeping you employed!

Nash Wilder

Then you're doing a terrible job!

If he would just sit down. Just sit down. Just. Sit. Down.

Nash Wilder

YOU THINK I NEED ANY OF YOU?

Frank Donovan

Nash, I swear—

Nash Wilder

WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

Oh, for the love of— IF HE WOULD JUST SIT DOWN. And suddenly, your voice cuts straight through the argument. Loud. Sharp. Absolutely furious. Every head turns. Including Nash Wilder's.
