Chapter 1

Everything happens for a reason and if when that thing happens you don't grab it by the horns and ride it out, it may just end up on your list of regrets as you grow older. One of those reasons was happening to me right now. One of those opportunities was falling right into my lap. To me; me, Alana Jade Galloway. How was it my life had traveled here to right now to be standing here gazing up into his eyes? Ted DiBiase Jr. was always a favorite of mine since the day I saw him wrestle. Than his movie The Marine 2 came and the more I learned about the man, the more my heart beated for him. It wasn't that he was standing in front of me propositioning me, well sexually anyways; he was standing in front of me offering me a job.

I bet that you are reading this wondering exactly how did I meet him but it was actually a pretty simple meeting. One that was completely unexpected and the outcome is even more surprising, well to me anyway. He explained to me in detail what he actually wanted as his personal assistant. "It is just for companionship. You drive me from show to show or I pay for the plane ticket and than you drive us from the airport to the show. You do my laundry, get me food, and massage my back or my feet or anything else I think of. What do you think?" He asked me with that sexy grin of his.

It sounded perfect to me but I didn't want him to think I was desperate. "I don't know, Ted. Maybe but I have a few conditions."

"Name them," he said folding his arms.

"Well, I don't want to go to the arenas with you. I know you are married and I respect that. I don't want the other wrestlers to think I am a rat. I went to wrestling school, I have traveled with wrestlers and have been called that and I think it is one of the most disrespectful things that anyone can call me. I will stay at the hotel and pick you up once the show is over."

"That is reasonable enough," he said shaking his head in agreement.

"I want to meet your wife."

"What?"

"I want her to know that you and I are nothing more than I am the employee and you are the employer."

"Okay, that might be a good idea," he said moving his hand across his chin deep in thought. "Anything else?"

"If I think of something I will let you know," I said with a smile.

"Than you are agreeing to work for me?" he asked.

"Yes," I said still smiling.

He put out his hand out and I shook it. "Let me grab my stuff, the car and I will meet you back here in a few."

I nodded as my stomach did a flip and I was shaking uncontrollably. How did I really just have that conversation with him? I needed to regain my composure so I thought over what had happened earlier in the night.

A few hours earlier:

I wasn't sure why I had come to arena for the house show. I had no money for a ticket and instead I just looked like a huge mark sitting outside the back of the arena. Years ago I had done the same thing and it seemed like a lifetime ago but it was the day I had met Crash Holly. Crash came out and talked to me several times during the night and I was happy to have those memories of him even today.

My back was actually to the inside of the arena, which kind of defeated the purpose of being there in the first place. Until I heard his voice, he was calling to me and slowly I turned around. I was mesmerized by his smile. We talked. We laughed. It was as if we had known each other for years. All something I knew before I met him. It was why I always felt so drawn to him. We were like two peas in a pod that had been separated at birth even though I was still a few years older than him. He had gone back in for his match and to my surprise had come back out and proposed the assistant job to me.

Back to present:

Ted pulled along side me in the car and got out. "Where are we going now?" I asked him.

"We have about a four hour drive in front of us. Are you up for it?" he asked me smiling.

Climbing into the driver's seat, I watched him climb in as I replied, "Four hours? Piece of cake."
