A few hours later, Anna was sitting in the sprawling mansion listening to the wife of one of Dwayne's colleague drone on and on about their six year old son Easton and how he'd surpassed all their hopes at his much too expensive boarding school. She hated these boring events. About as much as she hated her boring, discontented life. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the man who'd been on her mind all afternoon walk through the door and she glanced up for a second to make sure he wasn't an illusion. He'd walked in with another man who looked equally as handsome and had a set of smoldering blue eyes all his own. She excused herself from the table and went up to the bar to freshen her drink.

"Tell me again why we're here..." Randy Orton said to John as he tugged at the collar of his shirt.

"To make contacts. Ted knows these people and the more hedge fund, upper crust billionaires we have in our pockets, the better it is for business." John replied as his eyes landed on Anna as she glided across the floor to the bar. "Let's go get something to drink and then we can network." Randy nodded as they walked over to the bar.

Anna got another glass of white wine and looked around. She wished Caroline wasn't so busy being the hostess. She turned from the bar and bumped right into John. "I'm so sorry."

"Don't worry about it Anna." John replied. "No harm was done."

She smiled. "Well still I'm sorry."

"No problem. Anna, this is Randy Orton, my business partner. Randy this is Anna Johnson, she is the wife of Dwayne Johnson."

"Of course. Nice to meet you." Randy said shaking her hand.

"You too. So you guys enjoying this thing?" She asked.

"We just got here. So it's too soon to tell." John said to her. Randy looked at John. He was actually flirting with her.

Dwayne looked around from his conversation with Dave and John Layfield and saw Anna at the bar talking to John Cena and his business partner. Dwayne noticed the smile on Anna's face as they talked. He wondered what exactly was being said.

"Excuse me guys." Both nodded as Dwayne walked off and toward the bar. He came up and placed his arm around Anna's waist. "Everything okay over here?"

"It's fine." She smiled at her husband.

"Great. John, Randy nice to see you both again."

"You too. I was just telling Anna that Zoey enjoyed playing with Nikolas the other day" John said to him.

"Great." Dwayne smiled. "Well, excuse us for a moment gentlemen."

"Of course." John said as Dwayne placed his hand on the small of Anna's back and led her away from them.

Dwayne led Anna to one of the guest rooms on the first floor. "What was that out there?"

"What do you mean?" She asked not sure what he was talking about.

"I mean that with Cena. What's going on?"

"Nothing. He came up to get a drink. He introduced me to his friend and we talked a little about Zoey, Nikolas and playgroup." She replied.

"I don't like other guys around you. Especially ones who are pretty much employed by me." He leaned in and kissed her. "You are my wife and you have a duty to me. To conduct yourself with grace and elegance."

"Have I not been doing that tonight? I'm pretty sure I have."

"You have but I expect you to stay by my side. Are we clear?"

"Of course." She said to him.

"Good." He took her hand and they headed back out. She walked over with him to where Dave was. She looked and saw that John and Randy were talking to some of the others.

John stood there with his glass of champagne and watched Anna as she stood beside Dwayne.

"You know openly flirting with a married woman is beneath you." Randy said. "And McKenna hasn't been gone that long."

"Don't remind me okay? I'm well aware of how long she's been gone. I live with it every day okay?" John said as he looked around the party but mostly kept his eyes on Anna. He smiled a little as he saw the pretty auburn haired woman walk up to her.

"What are you smiling about?"

"Just an old friend." John said.

Anna smiled when she felt the tap on her shoulder and she turned to see her best friend Caroline Batista standing beside her. Caroline and Dave had been married for nearly 3 years and they had a six month old baby girl named Hannah. Anna smiled and hugged Caroline who then greeted the rest of the group.

"Gentlemen, you don't mind if I steal her away do you? I'm sure all this business talk is boring her to death."

"Of course not." Dwayne said. He had never minded her hanging out with Caroline. He leaned in and kissed her and whispered to her. "Remember our talk."

"Always." She smiled as she followed Caroline. "Nice party."

"Please you know these things are horrible. I hate most of the wives and the executives. But Dave said we needed to make sure we were firmly in Dwayne's good graces. Apparently there is a new venture and most of the executives are via for a top position. Dave thinks he will be one of the main ones. Lauranitits is not really in the running because of his wife. Apparently she has bedded almost every executive and she keeps wanting to sleep with Dwayne. He's tired of it and that's why Lauranitits won't really move up. Layfield is one of the top and Dave too."

"I'm sure Dave will get it. He's one of the most bright executives right?"

"Yeah. Has Dwayne said something?"

"No, he hasn't said anything about business. How's Miss Hannah?"

"She's good. Growing more each day. I think she will be crawling before long and I think she will keep those blue eyes." Caroline smiled. "How's Nikolas?"

"Good." Anna smiled. "Talking more and looking like Dwayne every day."

Caroline smiled and looked over at the bar spotting John and Randy. "Let me go get us a drink. I'll meet you on the patio."

"Don't you have to be the gracious hostess?"

"Oh piss on these pompous assholes. I want to sit and talk for a while." Anna laughed. Caroline laughed too and walked up to the bar ordering their drinks. Anna noticed she spoke to John and gave him a slight hug before she walked back toward the patio.

"You know John Cena?" Anna asked her as she came out onto the patio with their drinks. Caroline nodded slightly and took a sip of her drink.

"He's looking into finding some space for my studio."

"I didn't realize you were going to start again?" Anna asked as she took a sip of her drink.

"I need something to do. Dave is working and traveling a lot. It's just me and Hannah. So I think it will be good."

"And Dave's all for it?"

"He doesn't really care. With this promotion coming up he wants, he has been so focused on work."

"Yeah. Dwayne is really putting a lot into this venture not that he has told me anything but John has been to the house three times to show him property."

"I'm sure if there is a right place out there, John will find it. He's very good at that."

Anna smiled and looked to where her husband was. He was walking over to where John and Randy were. She assumed it was about the property.

Randy looked up and saw Dwayne coming. "Dwayne Johnson is coming over here." He said to John. "You better hope he didn't see you flirting with his wife earlier."

"You're the only one who thought it was flirting."

"John, Randy, Nice to see you both." Dwayne said.

"Dwayne." Randy replied.

"I'm glad you guys came. I would like to introduce you to my executives. With this new venture, we will be buying a lot of properties and you will be working some with them." Dwayne said.

"Great." John replied as he and Randy followed Dwayne over to where the executives were.

"I guess you know Dave. This is John Bradshaw Layfield and John Lauranitits. They are my top executives. I have two more Alberto Del Rio who is out of the country at the moment and then Jay Reso who is also out of the country."

"Nice to meet you gentlemen." Randy said.

"You too." Laurinatis said. "If you will excuse me, I was just about to head home. Dave, Dwayne, J.B., see you all later." He said as he walked away. Dwayne looked at the others.

"Cena here has found some great locations for the expansion."

"Told you he was a great real estate man. He found Caroline a place for her studio. Gets her out of the house every now and then." Dave said. John nodded and smirked to himself. If Dave knew the real reason Caroline had gotten the place, he'd have flipped.

"She's a very talented artist." John said.

"Yes she is." Dave agreed. "So D, how is your little boy?"

"He's good. Growing more each day." Dwayne laughed. "I think before long I will be able to bring him to work to start to learn the business."

"That would be something." J.B. said.

"So John, Randy, I wanted to talk to you about a possible investment." Dwayne said to them. He turned to his other executives. "I want this only between us. I don't want Lauranitits or the others to know as of right now." They shook their heads in agreement.

"What investment?" John asked.

"I want to invest in your company and make you guys very rich. By me investing, more of my business associates in other businesses will come to you for their real estate needs. It will make you both rich."

John looked at Randy. This was a big deal. While the money would help, he couldn't stop thinking about the risk of it. If Dwayne really had illegal business deals going on, then John and Randy could possibly be arrested and charged or worse killed. He couldn't help but wonder was it worth it?
