Chapter 10 (Caught!)
WARNING! This chapter contains rape and other disturbing themes. If this kind of thing bothers you please do not read (and/or if you are a Shane McMahon fan.)
Within nearly seconds of touching her lips, Triple H pulled away from Lilian a shook his head. He was a married man and although he desired Lilian more than anything, he still loved Stephanie.
"Damn it Lil, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. It's just..." Triple H started but Lilian cut him short.
"It's okay." Lilian said looking up at the obviously distraught man. She wanted Triple H's lips on hers just as much as he did, and if Triple H didn't pull away at that moment, she would have found herself using him and the affection he provided. The longing she had to be truly loved was killing her inside. But Triple H was right, it would have been so wrong.
As Triple H paced back and forth scratching the back of his head, Lilian slowly approached him and took his hand.
"I think I'm the one who owes you an apology. Here you are trying to help me and there I am pounding my fists into your chest. I should have never taken my anger out on you like that Hunter. I'm sorry." Lilian confessed meaning every word.
It was now clear to both of them that each wanted the other in more than just a friendship way, but both of them had their hands tied behind their backs so to speak. Triple H loved Stephanie in ways that maybe even he would never understand. Lilian was balancing between wanting to love Shane and simply being afraid of him and what he would do if she ever did cheat on him. It was almost pathetic that Lilian would even care about committing adultery. Hell, there was no doubt now in her mind that Shane had been cheating on her since day one. She wouldn't be surprised if someone had told her that Shane was on the receiving end of a blow job somewhere between getting his tuxedo on and saying "I do". The question now was, did she even bother confronting him about it; and the answer was no. Shane had way too much power over her despite the fact that Triple H had managed in these few moments to give her back some of her self respect. The same self respect that Shane had taken from her every time he hit her or made a snide comment about her looks or music.
Triple stared down at Lilian and now squeezed her hand. He would give almost anything to see her be with anyone besides Shane.
"Promise me you'll try Lilian." Triple H begged. "Promise me you'll look into getting a divorce. If Shane touches you again I swear I'll put him in the hospital. I'm not afraid of losing my job. You deserve better." Triple H said trying hard now to convince Lilian that she would be okay.
"It's not that easy Hunter. Shane was everything to me, the man of my dreams. There are still times when he can be so sweet, so loving. I keep hoping it will just stay that way." Lilian replied ashamed for admitting her weakness.
"But you know better Lil. The man thinks only of himself. He's fucking everyone that will spread their legs for him." Triple H replied waiting for another fuck you to be yelled in his direction.
But, despite the harsh words, Lilian could no longer make any excuses for Shane. Triple H was right. There was no need to waste her time getting angry at the one man in her life right now that actually cared for her. When Lilian returned home tonight, she promised herself that she would confront Shane about his extra marital affairs. She had to. It wasn't like Shane was totally unreasonable, just a little out of line at times. But lately he really seemed to be making efforts to be kind to Lilian. If she was going to confront him about anything, now would be the time.
"I'll talk to Shane tonight." Lilian pronounced.
Hunter raised an eyebrow. The statement worried him.
"I'll be there with you. Don't do this alone." Triple H replied, now affectionately moving his hand through Lilian's soft, blond hair, the other hand still holding hers tightly into his.
"I'll be fine Hunter, really. Besides what about Stephanie?" Lilian asked.
But before Triple H could reply, Stephanie turned the corner, her jaw dropping the moment she saw Triple H with his hands all over Lilian.
"You son of a bitch! Shane was right." She yelled at Triple H at the top of her lungs.
Both Triple H and Lilian spun around immediately to face her. The color now draining from Triple H's face as his eyes fell on Stephanie. Both Lilian and Triple H were now watching a heart breaking from one of the strongest women in the WWE.
"Steph please, it's not what you think." Triple H tired to explain, but Stephanie wasn't there long enough to even hear the words spill from his mouth. Before he knew it, Stephanie had run off in the other direction without another word.
"Fuck!" Triple H yelled.
Lilian stood in disbelief. Stephanie had gone running off thinking the two of them were actually having an affair. When Triple H turned back around to look at Lilian he could see the fear now penetrating in her eyes.
"It's okay Lilian, I'll handle this. I just need to talk to Steph, she'll understand. None of this will get out I promise." Triple H said, trying hard to reassure the blond diva.
As Triple H looked at Lilian he knew he had to go. He had to find Stephanie and make things right again. So before leaving, he placed a delicate kiss on Lilian's forehead and bent slightly so that she could see his eyes.
"I'll take care of this, I promise." He tired to reassure again, and then slowly turned to leave.
As Lilian watched him go, she clutched her arms with her hands to rub away the cold air she now felt streaming through her body. The thought of Shane finding out any of this terrified her. Lilian thought briefly about possibly not even going back to the hotel for the night, but she quickly dismissed the idea. Avoiding Shane would only be an admission of guilt. She had to face him and trust that somehow Triple H would indeed take care of things.

As Stephanie continued to run, making her way out of the building, she ran head on into her brother.
"Stephanie, what's wrong?" Shane asked as he saw that Stephanie had been crying.
Stephanie looked to the ground as she now covered her face. Every bit of make-up was now being washed away by her tears.
"Shane, you were right about Hunter." She managed between her sobs. "I just found him and Lilian together. They were holding hands, and Hunter was running the other hand through her hair." Stephanie replied in broken words.
The look on Shane's face went from consoling to a bright angry red. He pulled his sister in close to his body and wrapped his arms around her.
"That son of a bitch. I'll kill him." Shane pronounced.
"No Shane, please. Let me handle this." Stephanie said and then continued to cry even more.
Shane tightened his grip on his sister while his face grew even angrier.
"Okay Stephanie." Shane replied, but then continued under his breath. "You handle Hunter, I'll handle Lilian. That fucking bitch is going to pay for this. She'll think twice about making a McMahon look like a fool." He finished and then kissed his sister on the top of the head and turned to leave.

When Lilian arrived back at the hotel room after the show, she was surprised to see Shane there waiting for her. When she opened the door he was sitting leisurely on the couch, smoking a cigar and sipping on a glass of brandy. He seemed relaxed and pleasant.
"Lilian, baby, come over here." He told her, waving her toward him. His voice gentle and almost loving.
Lilian looked at Shane and forced a smile, but in the back of her mind she remained cautious. A thousand questions ran through her head. Did he know about the kiss and Triple H? Had he talked to Stephanie? Why was he being so sweet and calm? Had Triple H "taken care of things"?
Lilian made her way over to Shane pushing the hair back from her face. The best she could do was try and keep her mind off the obvious and believe that whatever Stephanie thought she saw earlier, she now understood was really nothing at all, and that Shane knew nothing of any of it.
As soon as Lilian was close enough, Shane reached for her and lightly grabbed her by the hips, pulling her down gently onto his lap and then wrapping his arms tightly around her body. Lilian made no motion to refuse his advances.
"Have I told you how beautiful you are lately?" Shane asked to Lilian's surprise. The answer was no, but Lilian made no motion to actually tell him that. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his as she felt him rest his head on her back.
"Shane, are you okay?" Lilian asked hesitantly. He was almost being too loving, but then again, that's the way things were before they got married. He was one of the most loving men she had ever met. It just seemed awkward to her given the circumstances that he would be this loving now.
"Of course Lilian." Shane replied as he pushed her hair to one side and now started to suck on the back of her neck. Shane's hot breath alone sent chills down her spine. As much as she hated to admit it, everything he was doing made her grow hungry for him. She now knew why so many women fell for him despite knowing what a jerk he could be. Unfortunately for Lilian though, Shane's affection would soon turn on her. "Why wouldn't I be okay?" He then asked as he gently dragged his tongue up the collar bone of her neck. "Is it because you are fucking my brother-in-law behind my back?!" Shane suddenly spat as he then violently pushed Lilian to the floor.
The minute Lilian hit the floor, Shane looked down at her with pure hatred in his eyes. He then got to his feet and stared down at the woman on the ground.
Lilian looked up at him as the fear now coursing through her body. Somehow she had to muster up enough courage to defend herself. She knew in her heart that one way or another, Shane was going to have his way with her. She refused to go down easy.
"Answer me damn you!' Shane raised his voice as he grabbed Lilian by the arm and forced her to her feet.
Once standing Lilian stiffened, somewhat bracing herself for the hit she knew would come.
"NO!" Lilian replied with authority leaving Shane to just stare at her. His usual warm brown eyes now cold and hard. "I'm not a whore like you Shane." She finally retaliated. Despite knowing what the consequences would be, she felt liberated saying it.
Sure enough, Shane backhanded Lilian hard in the face, sending her back to the floor. It didn't take a brain surgeon to know it was coming, but the sting of it hurt all the same.
"You want to be a smart ass huh?" Shane asked. "Well I can fuck whoever I want. You don't make the rules around her Lilian." Shane said.
After a few moments of thinking it over, a smile came across Shane's face. Lilian would learn that no matter what she did, she belonged to him. This would be the last time she would embarrass him and his family by cheating on him.
"Get up you bitch." Shane demanded.
Lilian looked up at Shane with her hand to her face. There was no telling what he would do now.
"I said get up!" Shane said again, this time grabbing her once again by the arm and forcing her to her feet.
"Shane, please let me go. You don't have to do this." Lilian pleaded as she tried to release Shane's grip.
"Don't talk to me Lilian." He said, practically dragging her to the bedroom and throwing her face down on the bed. "I'm going to make you remember who you belong to."
The minute Lilian heard Shane remove his belt, she knew what was to come next, but her body was no where near ready for it.
"Please don't Shane." She pleaded again, now with tears streaming her eyes.
As Shane threw his belt to the side and climbed on top of her, he looked down at her face and shook his head in pity.
"You did this to yourself Lilian." He said and then slapped her once again in the face. The bitter taste of blood now streamed from her lip and into her mouth.
As Lilian's head snapped to the side she struggled beneath Shane's weight, but Shane had grabbed both her wrists and pinned them together with his hand, making sure that whatever fight she had he could contain. With the other hand, he struggled to pull down the zipper to his over priced designer jeans. Lilian took the opportunity a get one hand free and hit him in the face. As soon as her hand made contact, Shane chuckled to himself.
"You'll have to do better than that." He told her and then once again managed to grab the free hand and hold it against her body with the other one.
Now feeling Shane move a hand up under her skirt and toward the inner part of her thigh, Lilian moved her hips desperately to try and make the inevitable more difficult. Shane though was not discouraged. Despite her efforts, Shane managed to grab her panties with one hand and pull them down far enough so that he could get his now hardened manhood inside of her.
As he forced his way in, Lilian let out a scream. She had never before felt such pain and could now feel the warmness of blood streaming down her leg and onto the bed. As Shane mercilessly pounded into Lilian's body with his hips, she could only think of the last thing Triple H had told her: I'll take care of this, I promise.
Chapter 11 (Stephanie Makes a Discovery)
A/N: So, so sorry for any Shane McMahon fans. Please understand that even though I am not a Shane fan, in this story he is just a character. I hope I didn't get too carried away with this chapter, but again one I started writing it I couldn't stop. If I would have forced myself to worry about what people would think, my writing would have turned to shit (hell, maybe it is already.) Anyway, love or hate this chapter, I hope you stay with me and if you have any suggestions please let me hear them. I am a new writer so again, maybe I'm doing this all wrong. Thank you so much to all those who have reviewed and given me ideas and inspiration.
