Chapter 1

Stephanie walked through the halls of the arena where smackdown was being taped. Her sternum was still sore but she was going to prove that she was tough and deal with it. Sighing she tried to think of a way to help make her mom feel better about what her dad was doing.

Stephanie had spent the last few days thinking about the situation to it's fullest and was still getting absolutely nowhere. As she walked towards her office she felt a pair of eyes watching her. Turning she saw the A Train walking towards her.

" What do you want?" Stephanie asked him with narrowed eyes.

" I just wanted to let you know something." He said with a smirk.

" Well then say what you have to say and move on." Stephanie said looking around.

" What I did to you at Vengeance I would have done for free. Getting paid by Vince was just a bonus." He said with a smirk.

Stephanie pushed away from him and hurried down the hall. Gulping she realized that this situation had just gotten out of hand and she had no one here to back her up. If she was being targeted than she was going to be taken out and there was nothing she could do about it.

Later that night Stephanie stood in the ring looking like a deer caught in headlights. Gulping she watched the A Train walk down to the ring.

Paul decided it was time to watch the end of smackdown. He hadn't been watching it lately for the simple fact he wasn't sure if he was over Stephanie. Though their relationship had started out as a stunt and plot deep down he had fallen for her. Sighing he turned on Smackdown just as Ric walked into his hotel room.

" Let's go man." He told him with a grin.

" I just want to see the last bit of smackdown. It looks like Steph is wrestling." Paul said with a grin. He knew Stephanie hated to wrestle and then his eyes widened as he saw who she was wrestling. " Who the hell made this match?" He shouted.

" Whoa looks like Vince is ringside with Sable. Problems for Stephanie." Ric laughed and then noticed that Paul didn't find it to funny. " Look your Triple H for godsakes and you could have any woman you wanted! Why are you pining after this one?"

" Be quiet the match is about to start." Paul said as he leaned towards the TV.

Stephanie felt the pain shoot through her entire body as she was tossed around the ring. Her mind was a jumble but she knew she was being humiliated. She couldn't move but she heard the music that signaled that the Undertaker was coming down to help her. She smiled slightly but then she heard the boos and so fourth and knew that something else had happened. She heard the creak as someone got in the ring and she felt herself dragged towards the ropes.

Paul watched as The A Train dragged Stephanie to the corner and then threw himself on her Sternum. He saw that she couldn't breath and the look on Vince's and Sables faces just made him angrier. Something had to be done about this. He watched them get in the ring and announce the winner and his mind was spinning out of control. He watched as they humiliated Stephanie some more as she lay there gasping for breath. Right then and there he made his decision. He was going to make Vince pay and pay dearly.
