Chapter 35-
There was a bitter coldness covering the city of New York. None more chilling and shivering than what was running through the young and frightened Layla. She had been forced into working for the sleazy and disgusting Paul Heyman again and what he was forcing her to do was nothing short of Evil.
A broken down Layla had been walking the streets of New York in the early hours of the morning trying desperately to wipe the last few hours from her memory. How could she go back and into bed with the man she loves knowing what she had done know what she would continue to be forced to do. Little did she know the man she loved was not at home.
…
In a small motel on the either side of the city Layla was not even entering Cody's mind.
"YES CODY, YES, YES, YES"
Cody moved from his sexual position on top of Ashley and led back down on the bed. Ashley turned to her side and seductively kissed the side of his neck saying "Your brother may have the muscle but you certainly have the stamina."
Rhodes smiled as he got up and walked over to the sink to have a full wash. Ashley lay on the bed still smiling with satisfaction and happiness keeping herself covered with the smallest amount of duvet cover.
She waited for a moment before getting off the bed. Without putting any clothes on she stood behind Cody and wrapped her arms around his waist. She whispered "Come on Cody you need to just leave Layla and be with me. You can't tell me that anything with her was like the excitement and passion we had yesterday."
Cody turned to her and gently placed his hands on her face. He slowly said "We will have that again but I love Layla and I need to go back to her. You said it right yesterday you are the perfect gamble."
Ashley walked away and started to put her underwear and clothes back on. Her scheming had worked to a degree but it seemed now that all it had got her was to be Cody's gambling fix."
….
A happy and in love John Cena looked out of his window to see a bright and beautiful red sky shining through a gap in his curtains. He got out of bed and opened the curtains so the light shone through into his room.
John sat down on his bed and picked up his phone. He saw that he had two messages on the phone already.
"Alright Bro I went to a sports bar and started chatting to some guys last night went back with a load of people to watch the pay per view boxing. I should be back around six. Please let Layla know I am ok. Cody."
The older brother was a little surprised by this message. Cody wasn't normally the sort of guy who just got on with people straight away. He muttered "I will deal with that later I think."
John scrolled down to the other message. When he saw it was from Torrie a smile came across his face.
"Good morning honey. I know it is like 4am but I woke up thinking about you. Well actually I was dreaming about you. Would you like to go running together this morning? Xxxxxx."
John smiled and quickly started to get dressed. He walked out of his bedroom and over to the bathroom. All of a sudden he looked back and saw that Cody and Laylas bedroom door was open.
He slowly walked over to it and could see that the bed had not been slept in. He went into complete silence as he heard the sound of sobbing in the hallway.
John quickly went to his front door and opened it to see who was outside. He looked over to the stairs and saw Layla crying into her hands.
A look of horror came across Laylas face as she saw John standing there. John came over and wrapped his arms around her softly saying "What happened Layla?"
Layla had to make up a very convincing lie up on the spot. She cried "I went out last night to get some breakfast things at those all night shops so I could surprise you both with breakfast. On the way back these two women tried to attack me."
John motioned to go back in the apartment as he said "I'm calling the police."
The ashamed brunette quickly said "NO. I mean they were wearing hoods I couldn't see them and I just want to forget about it."
He gently hugged her again and said "Don't worry Cody and I won't let anything like this happen to you again. Why was you waiting out here and have you been out all night?"
She was concerned again about John's questioning so said "I just want to go to bed and hold the man I love."
A reluctant look came across John's face as he said "Cody's not here."
Without even asking where he was Layla broke out into tears again. John softly held her into his chest again as he sat on the stairs trying to console her.
As he continued to try and make Layla feel better he had no idea that a set of watching eyes had been fixed on him and his brothers girlfriend.
And those watching eyes had got completely the wrong idea.
….
The long haired Adam was down in the bar making an early start on cleaning up the bar. There was a knock at the door so he quickly but cautiously opened it.
A look of disgust came across his face as he said "What do you want?"
The sexy model Candice Michelle answered "I wasn't going to attempt to talk to you earlier. You were too annoyed and there were too many people here."
He snapped "Oh and I suppose you're here to make some excuse why you stood me up well come on let's hear it. Nails need doing, sale on shoes were you having an orgy somewhere."
"I was scared Adam."
The worked up look on his face disappeared as he heard Candice say that.
He sat down and said "What were you scared of?"
She walked behind the bar and got a drink of water before talking again. "I just thought you were one of those typical good looking…"
Adam cut her off with a grin on his face "Wait good looking?"
"Just shut up and listen Adam."
Candice carried on "I just thought you were one of those typical, good looking, only after one thing guys. Have their fun with as many women as possible and then brag to your friends about it. But then when you asked me to the movies it just scared me."
Adam spoke again "Surely you have been asked to go to the movies before?"
Candice answered "No I haven't. It's always to a club, or a party basically anywhere they can get me drunk so I won't say no."
Adam put his hand on his long blond hair surprised at what he was hearing. He quietly said "I'm sorry."
Candice turned and smiled "Oh don't get me wrong I love sex. I mean some guys are just terrible but most of the time it feels so good. Although will be hard to find someone as good as John."
He quickly said "Wait John?"
"Never mind."
"Ok then."
The black haired model continued "But with you I just thought, ok we will play our games eventually we would sleep together and that would be that but you went in a completely opposite direction to what I was expecting."
Adam pulled up his chair and sat down next to her. "Look Candice I have been with probably just as many women as you have been with guys. And yeah you are right it is great the single life is spectacular but pretty much all my life has been the same. Christian and I would go out on the pull we would have a lot of fun have plenty of fun talking about it the next day too and then go on to the next night out. But eventually the fun wears off and that lifestyle becomes empty. I saw John and Torrie come in here and before they were even together the love beamed from their eyes from the other side of the room. I'm not saying I love you, but you are the first girl I have thought about what it would be like after you had a couple of hours with the love machine."
Candice laughed before standing up and walking to the door. She opened it and turned around saying "If you still want to go to movies I will be here at seven."
As she shut the door Adam looked over and saw Christian standing in the doorway. Christian walked over and hugged his brother saying "You have found someone just as sexually twisted and messed up as you."
…..
A couple of hours had passed since John had found Layla. Torrie had come downstairs to check on Layla. John and Torrie both looked back as Layla had drifted off to sleep. They quietly walked out to the hallway and started to whisper.
The beautiful blonde softly said "I hope she is going to be ok."
John answered "She will be a lot better when Cody gets back. I'm sorry we couldn't go for a run this morning."
Torrie sweetly replied "We will go for plenty of runs today won't hurt."
The muscular Cena quickly answered "How about we have dinner tonight?"
She answered "That would be lovely."
John smiled and said "Ok I will come up to you at eight."
He was about to talk again and Torrie passionately kissed him before smiling "Now I know you will be thinking of me all day."
John smiled "I would have been anyway but thank you that was exquisite."
They both laughed and said goodbye as John went back into his apartment.
A few moments later he was pouring a glass of orange juice when he saw the front door start to open. As Cody walked in John pushed him towards the door.
Cody snapped "What the hell was that for?"
John replied "Layla was attacked last night."
Rhodes pushed passed his brother and ran towards his bedroom. He came back out and snapped "Where is she?"
Cena whispered "She is asleep on the couch so shut up."
Cody bent down and gently kissed her on the forehead before standing up and walking back to the kitchen.
John handed his brother a glass of juice before saying "Who won?"
A confused Cody answered "What?"
John knew instantly that Cody was lying so said "Ok I want the truth where were you?"
Cody shook his head and said "I can't get anything past you. Ok don't flip out but I did meet a bunch of people at a sports bar. I went back with them and had a game of poker but I swear it was only a ten dollar buy in."
A seemingly angry looking John motioned towards Cody as if he was going to hit. As he stood in front of Cody he said "Cody poker isn't what got us in all that mess in fact you are a good poker player. If you poker I don't mind it is when you get in them damn bookies you have the problem."
A relieved Cody smiled "Thank you John. I'm going to set up a bed on the floor so Layla wakes up next to me."
Cody retrieved his duvet and pillows from his bedroom and set it up on the floor next to Layla. He looked down at his phone and saw a message come up from Ashley.
"Thinking of you already."
He smiled and turned on his side. He had just laid to John the one person who he confided in about almost everything. The higher the risk the more of a risk Cody was willing to take. He was at the start of repeating a very dangerous pattern.
…..
Candle lit dimness covered a certain apartment on the top floor. Photos covered every inch of the apartment.
Wandering eyes looked all around the photos that covered her apartment. Her fingers ran along the photos cradling her doll in her hand.
"I don't know what to do Josephine. Daddy seems to be angering Mommy. Mommy doesn't like to be angry Josephine."
The slim and slender Aj lee bent her neck back swiveling it around in a circular motion. Her eyes rolled as if she had lost control of each one of her senses.
In a complete fit of rage she tore all the photos from the wall, ripping them up and throwing them in the air. She used her nails to scratch the words "He's mine" into her mirror before throwing the pine mirror to the ground. Her eyes continued to rolls as she slowly sat down in the middle of the photos and rocked back and forth as she crossed her legs.
One candle stayed lit as Aj started to talk again not making any sense with what she was saying.
"Am I the object of his heart, or am I just an object? Do I live in love or do I live in hate? Josephine you have to guide me to tell me what I have to do to bring his soul to me. I want his soul, his clean and pure soul of which I can use to blacken my soul. Josephine you have to guide me why are you not talking."
Aj took the doll by the neck and started to squeeze with both hands "Josephine listen to me I am you Mommy and I love you why are you not helping me."
Suddenly she threw the doll to the ground. Aj looked down rolling her eyes and her head as she walked around in a circle around the doll. She dropped to her knees and leaned over resting her head on the floor next to the doll.
She spoke in a creepy voice again "I know why you won't help me. You are not Josephine you are her."
AJ stood up and began to walk around the doll in a circle. "So you are here to try and mess with my mind, take the place of my beautiful Josephine well you bitch you failed. Your games, and mind tricks did not work on me. I have to strong a mind to fall for you witchcraft and evil. But now demoness I have caught you and I must punish you."
Aj picked up the doll and held it out in front of her. With her other hand she reached out trying to take a hold of something else. As she picked up another object a smile came across her face.
She took the object and placed it underneath the doll.
Almost instantly the doll caught fire from the flame on the candle.
Aj had a twisted grin on her face as she watched the doll completely catch fire.
The twisted and disturbed Aj Lee had used the doll for symbolism.
But symbolism for whom….

Thank you all for the reviews and for being patient with me writing this story.
Really hope this chapter isn't too much of a train wreck. I am a little out of practice with work and a whole bunch of other stuff.
Take care everyone
