The next day Matt and Allie headed downstairs for breakfast. He was shocked at her. It was like the incident with Cody didn't happen. She had initiated sex with him that morning like she wasn't almost raped. They sat down with John and Randy and judging from their faces they knew exactly what happened.

"Allie, are you okay?" Randy asked her. Triple H had told him about what happened. He was livid like everyone else. They all knew that the million dollar man would not be happy when he found this out and neither would Dusty, Cody's dad.

"I'm fine. Guys, look I know what almost happened last night. But the point is it didn't happen. I'm not going to dwell on it. I'm going to go on with my life as normal. I know you think I'm not dealing with it but I am. I don't want this to affect my life. So can we drop it?"

"Alright." John said before anyone else could say anything. The others agreed but it was just a few minutes until Ted Jr. came to the table.

"Allie, are you okay?" Ted said hugging his sister tightly.

"I'm fine, Teddy." She said pulling away.

"I'm going to kill Cody. If he thinks he can do that to my sister, he is dead wrong." Ted sat down beside her. "Dad knows. He is speaking with Vince and Dusty."

"You told daddy?" Allie said using what she only called her dad when she wanted something or was playing up being his only daughter.

"Yes. He needed to know. It's not okay for Cody to try to do that. He needs to learn that he can't just take or do what he wants."

"I know. I just want to move on from this."

"You will." He said hugging her.

After breakfast they headed to their room to get their bags and then headed to the airport to fly to the next city. Allie was flying to Mexico Beach to get some things done for the wedding. Vince had left a message that Cody was suspended for sixty days. Ted Sr. got a restraining order against him. He was not allowed to come within five hundred feet of her. They kissed goodbye at the airport and each headed to their plane.

Allie arrived in Panama City and was met by Kinley and her mom. Both had heard about what happened from the guys.

"Allie are you okay?" Kinley said to her sister-in-law.

"I'm fine." Allie replied hugging them both.

"That's great." Melanie said as they headed out of the airport.

They were soon on their way to the hotel and then they were going to where the ceremony would take place. The church was beautiful.

"Okay, the guys working on the décor will be here in a few days. It will take a few days to get everything set up. You and Matt will dress at the mansion and then take a limo here." Kinley said as they looked around the old church.

"It's beautiful here. I can't wait for me and Matt to be married here." Allie said looking at the altar.

Melanie watched as her daughter and daughter-in-law went over some wedding details. She had hoped that the wedding would be off by now. Just as she was walking to where Allie and Kinley were, her cell phone vibrated. She saw who the message was from and knew she had to meet them. She texted back and told them she would meet them at the hotel.

"Ladies, I'm going back to the hotel. I don't feel well." Melanie said to them.

"Mom are you okay?" Allie asked.

"Yes. I'm just tired. I will see you later." Melanie quickly left and headed back to the hotel.

She walked in the lobby and saw him waiting. She motioned for him to follow her to the restaurant. They took a table in the back.

"I told you to get Allie to fall for you and leave Matt." Melanie said to him.

"I did what you asked." Cody replied. "You told me to get her to fall for me in anyway."

"I didn't tell you to almost rape her."

"You said any means necessary."

"Whatever. It's obvious this plan isn't working. The wedding is in a week." Melanie took the money out of her purse. "Here is the ten thousand I promised you. Just leave things alone for now."

"Thank you, Melanie." Cody said taking the money and leaving. He knew he had too as he couldn't be within in five hundred feet of Allie.

Ted Sr. couldn't believe what he just saw. His wife was meeting with the man who almost raped their daughter and she paid him money. He quickly walked over to his wife's table.

"What the hell was that?" He asked her sitting down.

"What?" Melanie asked not knowing he saw.

"That with Cody. You paid him money. The man who almost raped our daughter and you pay him money. Why?"

"He wanted to borrow some."

"I don't believe you. Tell me the truth."

"It's nothing." She said getting up.

He grabbed her arm. "Tell me the truth. Did you pay him to attack our daughter?"

"I didn't pay him to attack her. I paid him to break up her and Matt." She said sitting back down. "I'm not happy with this marriage. Matt is not good enough for our daughter."

"And Cody is? He tried to rape her."

"Cody is like us. He grew in this business."

"Melanie, Allie doesn't like Cody. She loves Matt and she is going to marry him. You need to deal with that."

"I have now. I realize that Allie isn't going to fall for Cody. I wish I had someone else she could fall for but I don't. So I guess we are stuck with Matt as our son-in-law."

"Melanie, hear me now. Allie is going to marry Matt. They will be together. If you continue to try to break them up, I will cut you off from everything. You will get over this thing about Matt not being good enough. He is. He loves Allie more than anything. And she loves him just as much. You need to leave them alone."

"Fine. I will."

"I mean it Melanie. Leave Matt and Allie alone."

"I will."

"Good. Now, let's go to our room." He took her arm and led her upstairs.

Melanie realized that Ted was serious. She had to welcome Matt into her family no matter how she felt. She also knew if Allie or her boys found out what she had done, they would be done with her and she couldn't let that happen. She hoped that Ted wouldn't say anything to the kids and that Cody wouldn't either.
