My God why am I starting another story? . I should learn the meaning of the word "break"

"Thank you all for coming tonight, It really means a lot to me, I would like to thank a few people that have helped me get to this moment starting with-"

I zoned out as I listened to my husband begin his speech, he had just won an award for all his hard work and dedication that he put into the hospital. He was moving up in rank, not only was he the head of all the surgeons and doctors, he was now being promoted to head of the entire hospital and not just this one, but the entire branch of WillMen hospitals in Atlanta.

I watched on and gave a smile here and there, as I did this, I would catch a few glances from the other wives or women at the award ceremony as well. The hate and jealousy was hilarious to me. They envied me, everything I had they wanted. My career as a CEO at a huge business firm, jealous because I had my own while they had to depend on their man for everything. The clothes I wore, jealous because I could wear top designer clothes once and throw them away if I wanted. The cars I drove, yes their's was nice, but mine were better. My house, they lived great but I lived excellent, even jealous about the top dollar chefs and fast working maids that were there at my every command. They wanted their husbands to be in the position that mine was currently in. And speaking of my husband, they wanted him as well, they think I don't know, but I watch and hear everything and I see how they flirt with him.

Basically I have the perfect life in their eyes and they want it and will do anything to have it. But boy are they wrong, why? because despite what you think, my life is far from perfect. My husband and I give the perfect performance, we should win every damn oscar that there is to win. Women envy my marriage, but the truth is I envy theirs.

"And last, but most certainly not least, I would like to thank my beautiful wife Stephanie. She is my world, the love of my life and I don't think I could have made it as far as I have without her help and her determination for my success, thank you baby, you're everything to me and I look forward to sharing this huge milestone with you for an eternity" Paul said as he held his glass up, giving a toast to his wife.

"awww" was the response from the crowd.

"oh my god hes so sweet" said one lady

"My god he is just so romantic" said another

"She is too lucky"

"such a perfect marriage."

Stephanie smiled and held up her glass as well, acknowledging her husband's kind words and she blew him a kiss. She took a sip as she listened to the chatter coming from women in the room.

Pssh. You bitches have it great compared to me. Stephanie thought to herself.

As Paul was finishing up his speech, Stephanie stared at him, but not with eyes of love but with deep hate.

Yeah, just go ahead and live it up you rat bastard. Just let everyone think you're Mr. Fucking Perfect, because thats all you know how to do. Just pretend, just to protect your image. Why don't you go ahead and tell them how you treat me at home huh? how if you don't get your way you throw temper tantrums, how you verbally abuse me all the time...and how you physically abuse me. I can still taste the blood in my mouth from when you backhanded me in the car right before we pulled up to this event. Smart move dumbass, yeah, just let your wife walk in here with a big ass mark on her face. Better be lucky I know how to do my own make up and can make magic happen within minutes. Stephanie thought to herself.

The truth is, their marriage, their lives were all a huge lie, at least in Stephanie's eyes they were. Paul walked around like everything was fine and dandy while on the inside Stephanie was slowly dying.

How could the man I once loved so much, become so cruel and hateful? She thought.

As Paul stepped down from the podium, he stopped and talked to one of the ladies that walked up to him.

Hmm, wonder how long you've been fucking her, or maybe you'll get your first taste by the end of the night, you cheating bastard. Stephanie thought.

If Paul has in fact slept with this woman or if he does eventually, it won't be the first time seeing as he constantly cheats on Stephanie whenever the opportunity arises. Her feelings didn't mean shit to him.

After he finished talking to the lady, she placed a piece of paper in his jacket, probably her phone number, he walked towards Stephanie with a huge grin on his face. "Hey baby" he said kissing her on the cheek

"aww" went one woman as she walked by

"Hi" Stephanie said softly. " You did great on your speech"

"Thank you." he said kissing her hand. "Would you mind having the first dance with me?"

Stephanie smiled. "You know I wouldn't" she said as she let him lead her to the dance floor where soft music began to play and she leaned her head down to lay it on his shoulder as they moved to the music.

"You know, it wouldn't kill you to act a little more enthusiastic at these things you know" Paul said, the soft tone leaving his voice.

Well its hard to when you don't wanna be here...or with you. Stephanie thought.

"Sorry"

Paul smiled as he looked at the people watching. "You always are, you aren't worth shit" he said as he dipped her and kissed her lips making the women in the crowd go wild.

"see, I have nothing to be enthusiastic about seeing as my husband treats me like shit and is the asshole of the century" Stephanie said as he let her back up.

"Are you trying to be a smart ass?" he said as he grabbed ahold of her waist a little tighter.

Stephanie closed her eyes at the contact, she was still very sore from when he kicked her a few days ago.

He let her go. "Maybe if you acted the way you were supposed to, you wouldn't get treated the way that you do" he said as he gave the audience another smile.

"And how is that?"

"You know" he said as he spun her.

"I won't know unless you tell me" Stephanie said getting slightly annoyed as she came back into his embrace.

Paul smiled as he pulled her in front of him so that her back was leaning against him and he was holding her as they continued to sway to the music.

"Still being a smart ass I see, just wait till we get home". He said nodding his head with a smile." You just wait. I'll give you something to be smart about" He said into her neck as he gave her a small kiss there.

"Just hit me" She said as she shrugged.

"what?" he said pulling his head back to look at her like she was crazy with a snarl on his face that was quickly hidden with a fake smile.

"You heard me, just hit me in front of all your little friends and your new bosses so they can really see what kind of a man you truly are" Stephanie said as she started to walk away but he quickly grabbed her yanking her back hard into his chest, placing his hand on the lower part of her back. He smiled at the crowd as they smiled back at him, not noticing what was truly going on out there.

"You just want to make this difficult don't you?" Paul said as he eyed Stephanie.

The music stopped and the audience applauded the couple. They walked off the dance court hand in hand as other couples began to fill in and dance themselves.

"oh my god, their love is so beautiful I'd die to have it" one woman said as she walked past them.

Be careful what you wish for lady, I said the same thing. I got it and now I wish I would have never met him. I'm nothing more to him than just a pretty face to carry around on his arm. Just a girl to show off to his friends, someone to bring to the diners with his bosses and friends. Other than that, i'm nothing more to Paul Levesque and I never will be nothing more than just a Trophy Wife.

You like? or You no likey? lol just give it a chance before you get pissed at Paul, I mean, people change haha :-)

Also, in this story i'm going to be going back and forth from Stephanie's point of view to narrating it myself. Technically you shouldn't do that when you write but who the hell cares!? this is fanfiction! screw you English teachers! and your dumb rules. lol. I have also updated my other two stores (A New Beginning: I'm never looking back and I'm no longer your dirty little secret. Please go check out the updates if you haven't already :P)
