Chapter 1

Prologue

"There's something else I want that's not a hand-me-down." Ted DiBiase

When love hits you, you've got two options. You can either grab love by the horns and let it rule you or you can turn and walk away. Ted thought that money was the only love he'd ever need then he fell for his best friend. He didn't want to love him, but there was just something about Cody that wouldn't let him walk away. Love will bind these two souls. Love will guide them.

Ted DiBiase sat in front of the newscaster. She leaned forward and clicked the note cards on the table. Ted straightened his tie and sat up straighter. The newscaster smiled and looked up at Ted finally.

"Tell us, Theodore-"

"It's Ted."

"Ted, how could you just give up your inheritance and a family heirloom for someone of such lesser status?"

Ted scoffed, "Lesser status? Do you even know who you are talking about? He is a second generation superstar, just like myself. His father taught him the same things mine did, only he didn't have the luxury. Do I hold that against him? No. Would I? No."

"Do you know what you are talking about? You gave up everything for some man."

Ted laughed with no humor, "Do you even have a clue what you are talking about?"

The newscaster sighed and shook her head. She was beginning to get frustrated and that made Ted want to laugh. She composed herself and looked at him. "How did you lose your inheritance?"

Ted sat back and pondered the question. More for show then the fact that he was really thinking about it. The answer was simple, but everything leading up to it was anything but. If you told Ted in 2008 that he would fall head over heels in love with his best friend he would have laughed in your face. If you had told him he was going to give up the money his father was going to give him he'd call you crazy. Ted finally decided to answer the lady. He sat forward in his chair and looked her right in the eye. "You want an answer?"

She nodded, "Yes, I think we all deserve an answer."

It was Ted's turn to nod. He smiled that million dollar smile and simply answered her, "He's not a hand me down."


Yes, I know it's not very long, but it is just the prologue and it's not meant to be long. Hope you like it :D
