Vince got home as fast as he could. He saw Shane sitting on the couch and went over to him.

"What happened?" Vince demanded.

"I don't know. I came over to give Steph the good news that you agreed to hire her back as GM but when I went to her room, I found her things were missing."

Vince went upstairs and into Steph's room. Sure enough, all her clothes and other accessories were gone. Two suitcases were also missing.

"Where could she have gone?" Vince asked.

"I don't know. Do you think we should call the police?" Shane asked his father.

Vince shook his head.

"No. The police won't do anything. They only work on missing persons case. But Steph apparently left on her own will."

"What do we do. Mom will go crazy when she finds out her daughter is gone." Shane paced around the room.

Vince was just as streesed out as he was.

"We will have to tell her when she gets home. There's no way around it."

"Shit," Hunter cursed under bis breath for what seemed like the millionth time. He tried calling Steph for hours, but no one picked up.

"C'mon Steph, pick up." When he heard a message he threw the phone on the floor and saw it break to pieces. Why didn't she pick up? Was she avoiding him?

The only thing he could think of was meeting her in person. He went into his car and drove to the McMahon's mansion.

Twenty minutes later he arrived at the large estate and rang the doorbell. He saw a fustrated Shane answer.

"is Steph home?" Hunter asked.

"She's ....she's gone." Shane held back a sob and Hunter looked at him in shock.

"What do you mean she's gone?"

"I went home and her stuff was missing. She left."

Hunter couldn't believe it. She left? And it was because of him. If he wasn't treating her so badly and accusing her of lying, she wouldn't have left. Hunter could have kicked himself. He would never forgive himself if anything happens to her.

Steph arrived at New York five hours later. She looked around the unfamiliar surrounding and told her it would be her home for the next few years, or maybe her whole life. She went over to the carousel and picked up her luggage. She saw a newspaper lying in a litttle bin, and picked it up. She needed to find a place to stay. After all, she couldn't live in a hotel forever.

She also needed to find a job. Sure she had some savings, but it wouldn't last her her whole life. if she didn't want to starve, she would have to do something with her life. Maybe she could find a job as a waitress or cashier. Stephanie laughed inwardly. Who would believe Stephanie McMahon, the billion dollar princess, working in a club or Walmart? Steph thought to herself sadly, she wasnt the billion dollar princess anymore. Now she was her own person, and the only person she can depend on was herself.
