Thursday evening quickly came and Hunter had managed to sneak himself into Stephanie's office so he was sat there watching the pyro go off for the beginning of the show when Linda's music hit, Hunter smiled to himself when Stephanie turned to him and saw him smiling but ignored it and said, "what's Mum doing here? Did you know she was coming?"

Hunter shook his head, "not at all."

He wasn't lying after all; he didn't technically know she was coming to the show.

Linda called Stephanie out to the ring and tried to persuade her not to go through with it but she wouldn't take no for an answer and then Vince came out and started trash talking them which quickly led to the appearance of Sable.

After much trash talking and the announcement of Sable in Vince's corner for the match at No Mercy it broke down with Linda being kicked by Sable and then Stephanie starting a cat fight with Sable only to be thrown off by Vince but like a dog with a bone Stephanie went back for more but this time got a hard clothesline for her trouble, this wasn't how Hunter had envisioned Linda's talk with Stephanie going.

When Stephanie and Linda got back to her office Hunter was all over Stephanie checking if she was alright and Stephanie insisted she was.

Linda said to Stephanie, "is there anything I can do for you?"

Stephanie shook her head.

"Stephanie are you sure you should go through with this match after what your Father just did to you out there?"

Stephanie sighed and ran a hand through her hair, "I'm not letting him get away with it, I'm not quitting without a fight and there is nothing anyone can do about it. I'll even go through Sable at the PPV as well if I have to."

Linda shook her head, "there is no way you can go through Vince and Sable, it's humanly impossible."

Stephanie shrugged, Hunter then had a bright idea, "if it is so impossible for her Linda why don't you do something about it and even the odds?"

Linda was intrigued, "what do you mean Hunter?"

"Simple, you accompany Steph to ringside and that way Vince won't have an extra person."

Linda knew she was backed into a corner so she agreed.

It was all getting a bit claustrophobic in the office for Stephanie so she got up and decided to take a walk but as she left her office she was confronted by Josh so she told him about her Mum and went for a walk.

Once Stephanie had been gone from the office a couple of minutes Linda said to Hunter, "what the hell did you think you were doing putting me in that position?"

"Me putting you in that position? If your husband wasn't such an insane maniac then your daughter would not be in the position where she had to literally fight for her job so don't go blaming me."

"You were the one that asked me to talk to her in the first place and then you put me in the position where I could not say no to accompanying her so yeah I blame you for some of this."

Hunter shook his head, "at least I want what's best for Stephanie, I'm looking out for her best interests not my cheating husband."

Linda shook her head, "the only thing you're interested in is getting in her pants and getting your precious title back, you don't give a damn about her really."

"I only care about the title do I? Is that why I've gone on unexplained leave from Raw for however long it takes to get Stephanie through this? At least I'm doing something to help her not sitting back watching it unfold before my eyes."

Unbeknownst to the both of them Stephanie had heard the whole argument and she opened the door and walked in, "so this is all a set up, I can't trust anybody. The man that I let into my life for the second time, the one that I gave my heart to was only doing it for his own benefit, my Mother is only doing this because she has been pressured into it by my so called boyfriend, now you're going to tell me that the only reason the Undertaker and Kurt are so worried about me is because you asked them to be."

Hunter looked at the floor, "I'm right, I can't believe you did that to me Hunter. I trusted you and you obviously didn't trust me, you needed spies to keep their eye on me when you weren't around, I can't believe this. Hunter it's over, get out."

"But Steph you've got it all wrong."

Stephanie shook her head, "I don't want to hear the lies or the excuses it's over now get out and leave me alone."

Hunter looked at Linda for support and she just shrugged ,"Stephanie this isn't over, I won't let it be."

"GET OUT!"

Hunter reluctantly turned around and walked out of the door.

As Hunter left Stephanie's office he was confronted by the Undertaker, "what's wrong?"

"Steph dumped me, she heard me and Linda arguing because Linda wasn't happy that I suggested she accompany Steph and so Steph has dumped me because she thinks I've set her up, she knows I asked Kurt and yourself to look out for her to so beware."

Taker shook his head, "she knows the truth deep down, she's only lashing out at you, she'll get over it. I need to talk to Stephanie over another business related matter so I'll see what I can do to help."

Hunter smiled weakly, "thanks man, don't get yourself in trouble though."

Taker laughed, "I can take care of myself so don't worry about me."

Taker walked off to Stephanie office.

Meanwhile in Stephanie's office she was sat alone after asking her Mom to leave contemplating everything when there was a knock at the door, "come in."

The Undertaker walked in, "what can I do for you Taker?"

"Actually there are two things: Hunter and Brock."

She shook her head, "Hunter who?"

"Your boyfriend Hunter, the guy you just threw out of the building."

"Oh him, you mean the no good conniving low life son of a bitch that I got out of my life?"

Taker shook his head, "yeah you really mean and believe that don't you Steph? I've known you too long and I know that you don't really believe that. I can understand that you might be hurting right now but Hunter has always been there for you."

She put her hand up to stop him, "don't start, I don't need a lecture on how good or bad Hunter is, it's my life and my decision. Now what was it you wanted to do with Brock?"

"Fine, your life to make mistakes with too. I want Brock in a Biker Chain Match at No Mercy, something different."

She nodded, "fine, that's good with me. Now if that's all will you excuse me so I can get some work done please."

Taker nodded, "alright, thanks for that."

The Undertaker walked out leaving her alone and once she was she broke down in tears, "what have I done?"
