"Who killed Vince?" Linda asked suddenly.
"It doesn't matter now." Ted replied whilst pouring a glass of wine out for Linda.
"It matters to me. I need to know."
"Ok then. I did."
Linda's eyes filled with tears, which she tried to hold back, and nodded.
"Don't be upset." Ted said as he handed her the wine, he sat down next to her on the couch. "We can finally be together without him in our way; we can do anything we want. Anything."
Linda nodded and took a sip of the wine, feeling very unsure and scared.
"Linda, darling, I have to ask you something." Ted got down on one knee and pulled a box out of his pocket. "Will you marry me?"
Linda spat her wine out, overcome with a feeling of disgust and hate. "Are you kidding me? After what you've done to me? I'd rather be dead than become the next Mrs. Turner!"
"Fine!" Ted stood up suddenly and slapped her hard across the face. "Have it your way!! Come on."
He roughly took hold of her arm and dragged her out of the living room back upstairs and threw her into the bedroom. Linda was in shock, she had never had a man hit her before, Vince had never raised a finger to her, even during some of their most heated arguments. Ted slammed the door and locked it.
"You can stay in there until you change your mind, you'll have to give in eventually." He stormed away down the hallway.
Linda walked over to the bed and laid down on it, she wiped away a silent tear.
"Don't cry, you know I can't bear it."
Linda sat up and Vince was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Vince. what?" Linda asked confused.
"What am I doing here?"
"Yes."
"Do you remember one of the last things I said to you?" He said as he stroked her face.
"Every word. You said you'd always protect me." Linda whispered.
Vince nodded. "And that's what I'm doing here."
Linda shook her head in desperation and sobbed. "What am I gonna do?"
"Sshhh." Vince put his arms around her. "Honey, if you want to get out alive, you have to change your attitude. Go along with what he says, just don't go against him, he'll kill you if you do."
"So?" Linda shrugged her shoulders. "At least I'd be with you again."
"It's not your time; the kids need you right now. How do you think they'd feel if they lost their mom as well as their dad in the space of three months? You can't do that to them. They need you as much as you need them. Promise me Linda; promise me you'll do your best to get out of here alive."
Linda slowly nodded. "Ok, I promise."
He kissed her head. "I'll look after you." Vince vowed before disappearing.
"Vince??" Linda looked around, perplexed at his sudden disappearance.
She got up and looked in the mirror; she noticed some make-up on the dresser and took a deep breath as she started applying it.
Linda had just finished getting changed, after she had looked through the closet she found clothes similar to her own and they were in her size, she looked up as she heard a key turn in the lock. She took one last look at herself in the mirror and said to herself. "Remember you're doing this for Shane and Steph."
Ted breezed in and stopped in his tracks as soon as he saw Linda. "Wow..." He breathed as he looked her up and down. "You look. spectacular."
"You like?" Linda smiled as she twirled around.
"No, I love." Ted smiled as he eyed her up and down. Linda had on some boot cut trousers which hugged her curves in all the right places and a low cut top which accentuated her cleavage.
Linda put on a plastic smile as Ted leered at her, she couldn't believe what she was doing but know it was something she had to do.
"Ted, honey." Linda moved closer to him. "I was a fool before. of course I'll marry you. I was just shocked before, you surprised me. I never knew how you felt about me, if only I'd have known all those years ago. Everything could have been so different." She rested her head on his shoulder. "Now's out time Ted, we can get married, run WWE and WCW together, just like you said, it should have been that way all along."
"I knew you felt the same way about me, I should have let you known sooner. all those years ago. If only."
Linda placed a finger on his lips. "Sshhh, if only's aren't going to change anything now, we have to take the chance that's before us now and make the most of it." She kissed him on the cheek.
Ted gently took her hand and pulled her towards the bed; he lay down and pulled her on top of him. He started to kiss her but Linda backed away.
"What's wrong?" Ted asked.
Linda looked down. "I can't Ted, I'm not ready. give me time. please?" She avoided his gaze.
Ted tilted her head up towards him and stroked her cheek. "It's ok, I understand."
Linda smiled as Ted brought him towards her and held her; she rested her head on his chest and sighed, not knowing what move she should make next.
