Stephanie stood there silent, "are you seriously asking to choose managing Hunter and Chris Benoit over you, my family?"

Shane nodded, "yes I am, there is no way I am going to stand by and watch you mess about on TV and ruin this family's good name. The decision is yours."

She went over and looked out of the window of her house; it was a bright sunny day, such a contrast to the stormy feeling inside of the house.

A further few minutes passed before Shane said, "so have you decided yet?"

Stephanie turned to face him, "I can't believe you're making me choose."

He shrugged, "so what's your decision, us or Hunter?"

She sighed and looked at the floor before she looked back up at Shane, "my decision is . . . I'm going to continue to manage Hunter, if you can't handle me doing something that I enjoy doing and I want to do then that's your decision. I'm not giving this up just because you said I should."

Shane shook his head, "I can't believe you did that."

She glared at him, "no, I can't believe you did that. I'm not a little girl anymore Shane, I won't listen to what you say and then do as you tell me without even batting an eyelid, I'm strong and I'm independent and if you haven't learnt that by now then that's your loss."

Shane picked up Declan as Marissa stood up, "fine then, if that's your decision then we're leaving. I hope you're happy with yourself."

He stormed out with his family and slammed the door behind him, as soon as the door was slammed Stephanie collapsed onto the couch crying her eyes out, what had she done?

Meanwhile in another part of Greenwich Hunter was on the phone to Chris, "yes Chris I know we should know but she won't tell me, she said it is a secret and will stay that way until Monday and it's killing me."

Chris laughed, "I'm sure there are a few things about Stephanie which are killing you right now."

Hunter groaned, "get a life Chris."

"I seem to have hit a nerve there Hunter. You already told me that the two of you have been on the phone constantly all week and now you're being all coy about it, how sweet."

Hunter sighed, "jerk. I don't have any feelings for Stephanie at all anymore; we're just business partners together for the common good, nothing more. Although I do think I am going to go and pay her a visit, I need to find out what she's planning."

Chris laughed, "no other reason you want to see her?"

Hunter growled, "CHRIS!"

Chris laughed, "sorry sorry, if you do go and see her and she does tell you let me know so I can be prepared too."

Hunter nodded, "will do."

He hung up the phone and as soon as he had put the phone down he got up and grabbed his keys ready to leave the house and head to Stephanie's, "I'm sure she won't mind the company."

Hunter pulled up at Stephanie house and he noticed that her front door seemed to be open slightly which worried him so he slowly got out of his car and made his way to the door and gently pushed it open not making a sound in case there were intruders and he didn't want to alert them to his presence.

As soon as he was through the front door he quietly shut it behind him and he headed to the lounge to see if he could see anything.

When he reached the lounge he slowly walked inside looking around and he saw nothing or no one but as he scanned past the couch he saw the vision of Stephanie hunched over shoulders shaking and he knew what was happening, she was crying.

Hunter immediately went over to ger side and sat down and pulled her into his arms and held her but as soon as she felt someone's arms wrap around her she started struggling to get away but when she recognised the arms she sank into his embrace.

Hunter didn't know why he did that, it just felt right to hold her and try to comfort her as she cried before he tried to find out what was bothering her.
