Chapter 3: The Business and The Problem

23 year old Vanessa had been working at the family business, World Wrestling Entertainment, for three years along with her best friend and newest WWE Superstar, Ted DiBiase Jr. Ted DiBiase Jr. was guaranteed to be a star. Soon after coming into the WWE, him and his partner, who was also the son of a legend, Cody Rhodes became tag team champions. Although soon as Ted came into WWE, he was a heel, he loved the spotlight. His character was cocky and vain, referring to himself as 'priceless' which annoyed fans. Later down the line, he joined forces with Randy Orton. Randy Orton, son of Cowboy Bob Orton, was an ex-champion with nothing but aspirations of winning gold once again. Together Randy, Cody and Ted formed a stable named "Legacy" which stood for what they come from, and what they plan to be… a legacy.

As of late, Legacy had decided to declare war on the McMahon family. It started when Vince McMahon had decided to fire Randy Orton. Vince was going to fire him, but Randy struck Vince and had punted Vince McMahon in the head with his foot. Stephanie then took over as acting General Manager along with Shane. Stephanie and Randy had tension, due to the hatred she had for Randy for kicking her father in the head. Stephanie wanted Randy to pay; all Randy wanted his title shot since he won at the Royal Rumble that year. His target was none other than the cerebral assassin Triple H, who was currently the WWE Champion. What other way than to get into the head of the man notorious for playing head games? Threatening his family and wife. As of today, things aren't so great between the McMahon's and Legacy, which has definitely put a strain on the friendship she had with Ted DiBiase.

"Vanessa Monroe McMahon, you know the problems with Legacy" Shane replied while walking around in his office. "There is no way dad is going to let you out of his sight. Especially to see Ted, who is a part of Legacy-"

"Shane, I'm 23 years old. I help run this company behind the scenes and no one knows who I am in the WWE Universe. I'm the unknown McMahon. Only one who knows me is Ted, which is fine" Vanessa stated while going over numbers in Shane's computer that projected estimated numbers of sales and viewers. "He won't hurt me, this I know"

"He's changed since we were kids 'Nessa. He's a grown man and he's also not in well standings with this family. God forbid dad catches you with Ted, you'd have no life, he'd have no job and then you won't have each other…" Shane stated while leaning over his desk to look Vanessa in the eyes.

Vanessa hated the fact that things couldn't be the way she wanted them to be with Ted. Ted meant the world to her. The sad thing is no one, not even Ted, knew he was her world. He fought for her, as she did for him. He took her to her prom, which was a night that she'd never forget. He persuaded her to take up business management in college, and in return she got him a job in WWE when finally decided that wrestling was what he wanted to do with life.

Ted was Vanessa's first kiss when she was 12 years old. They didn't plan it to happen that way, but it did. Ted was also her first on her prom night. If there was one guy she could trust with anything regarding firsts, whether it'd be ideas or any type of milestones in her life, the guy would be Theodore Marvin DiBiase Jr.

"I know what I'm doing Shane. Besides, it'll be after RAW tonight, when all fans leave and superstars go home. Ted and I will hit a diner, somewhere low key and eat and catch up" Vanessa explained while watching her brother's face. His face was stone like, not moving at all; there was no sign of emotion in Shane's face.

"You will stay here... got it? You will NOT interfere with anything that might be McMahon and Legacy related. If I have to, I will send John in here to stay with you" Shane replied making Vanessa's nose scrunch. John Cena was the only superstar that knew she was a McMahon. They actually got along rather well, but the fact of him babysitting her angered her, because John was always the worst at it.

"Fine. Can I at least watch the damn show?" Vanessa asked. Shane nodded and left the office, leaving her to watch the show and work on the next big merchandise sale. This was becoming too harsh of a time for her. The show didn't even matter anymore to her; she was waiting patiently for RAW to be done so she and Ted can run off and be Ted and Vanessa, not members of feuding clans.

Directing her eyes to the television, Vanessa stared at Ted. Ted's posture spoke cockiness and pride, plus more than anyone should allow. Ted stood with arrogance like his leader, the retched Randy Orton. Randy was the definition of talent, but the epitome of jackass. At least that's the persona he portrayed; Vanessa gave him credit, he portrayed it well.

Ted was so out of his comfort zone; Vanessa could sense all he wished was people could see him for the nice guy he always had been. That's all she really wanted since he first started here; however Vince had different plans for his character and made him heel. Ted battled the decision; Ted had the feeling he didn't need to live off of his dad's name, but Vince wanted him to. After all what Mr. McMahon says goes.

RAW was over and Shane walked into his office. Vanessa helped him with possible match cards for next week, organized his messy schedule and told a few jokes with him. After looking down at her phone and noticing she didn't get my usual call from Ted, signaling everyone left and we can leave, Vanessa gave Shane the crappy excuse of needing to stretch her legs and left his office.

Vanessa's legs dragged her to the direction of Ted's locker room, no matter any detour she decided; it led Vanessa back to him and that one locker room. She tried so hard to fight the need to see him and walked past the locker room. It was then Vanessa exhaled and walked right into someone… hard.

"Ouch" Vanessa hissed, holding her head and looking up, noticing she was standing in front of Ted. A slight smile formed on Vanessa's face, but quickly faded when he didn't smile back. "Nice to see you too Ted-"

"Am I really that priceless that everyone, even lowly office workers know me? Who are you?" Ted hissed. This isn't what Vanessa was used to. This wasn't Theodore; it was hardly Ted.

"Excuse me?" Vanessa asked a little bewildered. Ted smirked that same evil, maniacal smirk he wears on television. She sighed thinking he was doing this to annoy me. "Just because your dad was a manager, doesn't make you a legacy"

"Just because you work in the office, doesn't mean you are automatically better than me. You don't pay me… so back off" Ted replied while Vanessa huffed.

Vanessa began to think it was all an act; she thought Randy or even Cody had stayed behind to make him stay in character. Slowly turning around, she saw the figure of the viper himself walking in her direction. Vanessa straightened her body, showing no fear. Randy smiled and walked past her.

"Ted, you ready to go?" Randy asked. Ted nodded and sneered at Vanessa, making her narrow her eyes and throw daggers of hate at him.

Vanessa turned to walk away, rolling her eyes. Ted had lost who he was in her mind. Vanessa had gone through many ways to ignore Ted, when she felt her phone vibrate.

Thank god hotels have balconies. I'll climb through yours with food, videos and my ass so you can kick it. Sorry 'Nessa

-Ted

Vanessa smiled feeling a little better. Ted was still Ted.

The question was… for how much longer?
