John sat there looking at the phone after she'd hung up. He couldn't believe she had ended it. He knew something was going on. After the afternoon they had spent together, he knew ending them was the last she had wanted. He looked down as his phone rang and he saw it was Caroline.

"Hey Caroline." He said when he answered.

"Have you heard from Anna?"

"Yes, she just called me and ended things."

"She called me too. She ended our friendship." Caroline sighed. "Dwayne found out about the affair. She told me that when she called."

"We were careful. How could he have found out?"

"I don't know." She replied. "She just said he found out and she couldn't see you or me ever again. I'm sorry John."

"Thanks. I have to go." He hung up before more was said. He hoped his plan worked and he would have Anna back.

Dwayne looked over at Anna as she slept. He still couldn't believe she had betrayed him. He got up and turned off the video camera. He had the footage he wanted and it would serve it's purpose. He walked back over to the bed and laid down beside her.

"I'm sorry." She whispered as he did. "I don't know anything else to say but I'm sorry."

He sighed. "I don't understand why you would betrayed me. Did anything I said to you in Miami mean anything? I told you I loved you. I meant that. Did you mean it when you said it?"

She moved to look at him. "I did mean it. I do love you. That wasn't a lie."

"How can I believe anything you say?"

"I guess you can't." She said getting up. She grabbed her robe nearby and walked out of the room.

He sighed and got up and followed her. "Anna." He said when he got to the kitchen. "You have to understand what I'm saying. You lied about where you were going every Wednesday. You were seeing someone else."

She sighed and poured her something to drink. "Do you want to know why it started?" She said turning to him.

"I guess I should know."

"Before Miami, you never said you loved me. You never did anything to show me that you loved me. We got married because my father gambled away my family fortune and then promised me to you." She sighed. "I have always just assumed you didn't love me. That I was only a means to an end. A way to increase your net worth with every baby I provided for you. I was only someone who cooked and cleaned. Who you only showed attention when you wanted to have sex with me to try to make another baby. I didn't feel love. Then John started visiting when you and he were doing business. And he paid attention to me. He asked me about me. And it just happened. I never meant for it too." She looked at him. She had to protect herself from anything happening as well as John. And what she was going to say to him wasn't entirely the truth but it would serve the purpose. "I was going to end it when we got back from Miami. When you said you loved me. Then everything happened with Phil. I went there to talk to John and end the affair." She stood up from the table. "I know you probably don't believe me. And I can't change that. But everything I said is the truth." She walked away and headed back upstairs.

He followed her. "I didn't think you'd actually be able to swing this back around so it was my fault but bravo. Those degrees that Daddy paid for served you well. Did you ever stop to think that I work like I do to prove to you and Nikolas how much you mean to me? You didn't mind my 'neglect' of you when you were out spending my money or when we were paying off your parents' house or putting your drunk of a mother into Betty Ford for the eighth time in three months. I never thought I had to say that I loved you because I was busy every day busting my ass to give you everything you could ever want and more. And the first time my back is turned, you go and fuck the first man who tells you you have a pretty face and a nice ass. Or maybe I'm wrong. Have there been others before him? Huh? Were you fucking Wade too? Is that why he kept his mouth shut for so long? What about the delivery guy? Did you fuck him? Or the gardener? Huh?"

"Dwayne, stop it."

"No Anna. I want to know. How many were there? Just how big a whore did I turn you in to?" Before she realized what she was doing, she slapped him.

He stood there for a moment before he grabbed her by the shoulders and backed her into the wall hard enough for her to hit her head. He squeezed her shoulders tightly, making sure to dig his nails in as he held her there. "If you ever speak to me that way again or so much as think about raising your hand to me, I'll make sure you watch as I kill your precious John Cena. Now get to bed. I've got some work to do in my study." He said as he shoved her one last time and quickly walked downstairs.

She sat down on the bed not believing what just happened. She didn't know what she could say to fix this between her and Dwayne. He was so angry and she was worried about everyone she cared about. She would make sure she did what he asked. She had to fix this between them. She thought about going to the study and talking to him again but she realized he was so angry right now. That it was better she didn't.

Dwayne sat in his study not believing either what he did or said. He had never hurt her physically or verbally and he hadn't meant to. He was just angry with her betrayal. He knew inside that she hadn't cheated with anyone but Cena. But the fact that she had with him, made his blood boil. But he wouldn't lose Anna. Despite her cheating, he loved her. He poured himself a drink. He looked at the computer screen as he transferred what was on the video camera to a DVD. Once he dealt with John Cena, then he could work on his marriage. He finished up and headed upstairs. He walked into the master bedroom and saw that Anna wasn't there. He walked to the guest room down the hall and opened the door. He saw her in the bed sleeping. He walked in and saw the bruises on her shoulder from earlier. He sighed to himself and brushed his hand over them before he walked out of the room. He would let her sleep there tonight.

John sat in his living room waiting on Randy to come. They needed to get the plan in action. He heard the knock on the door and headed over. "Glad you came."

"Well you said it was urgent. So what's going on?"

"What's our timetable for taking out Dwayne?"

"I didn't know we had one."

"I need him gone one way or the other and soon."

"Why the urgency?"

"He found out about me and Anna."

Randy looked at him. "Well, you're not dead so that's something."

John sighed. "He hasn't came to see me yet. Anna called me and broke off the affair and I know it's because Dwayne made her. She's afraid of him and if she leaves him, he will never let her see Nikolas again. And I won't make her leave her child. So, Dwayne needs to be gone and soon. What if he hurts her because of the affair? You seem to know him better, do you think he will hurt her?"

"I don't think he will but I don't know." Randy sighed. "I meet with him in two days. So, hopefully it will be over by then."

"Two days then. And we end it one way or another." Randy nodded. He hoped he could get Dwayne to admit to things and put him in jail. He owed John for taking McKenna away from him and Zoey. So maybe he could help John get the woman he loved now.
