"Who are you? Your voice sounds so familiar to me that it is not funny. Who are you?" The guy sighed as he removed his mask, and when he faced her, Vanessa saw the one face she never thought to be the one who would help Trish Stratus ruin her and John's future. "Oh my God, this can't be... you?!" She was looking face to face with no other than Hunter Hearst Helmsley. "Hunter!? You're helping Trish!?" She sat down in the chair with shock on her face.
"Yes," said Hunter as leaned against the wall across from her.
"But... but why?" asked Vanessa, "Why would you help that psycho with this plan?"
"Because," Hunter then walked up next to her, "she has something on me that could ruin my marriage with Stephanie."
"What is that?"
"While Stephanie and I were dating... and while Trish and Cena were dating... I slept with Trish. Stephanie doesn't know, but about a week after I slept with Trish, Stephanie decided that we needed a break. Suddenly John broke it off with Trish on the night of Bad Blood, then Trish and I hooked up. At first it was only a physical thing, but over time I thought I was in love with Trish and I wanted more, but Trish dumped me because she only used me for sex. Around the time of Vengeance, Stephanie and I got back together, and we eloped that night. At Wrestlemania, when John proposed to you, Trish went totally nuts, then two weeks ago she called me told me to help her with this stupid idea or she would tell Steph the truth." He remembered the conversation all to well.
FLASHBACK
Hunter was sitting in his living room at his home in Connecticut cuddling with his wife Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley watching a movie when suddenly their phone ring. "I'll get it," said Hunter as he untangled himself from her and picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Hello lover," said Trish Stratus from the other line.
He walked out of the living room so he could be alone, "what the hell do you want Trish?"
"Aww, you are not happy to hear from me?" asked Trish, "I thought you would be since it's be a while."
"What the hell do you want?"
"I am in need of a favor from you."
"Favor? I don't owe you any damn favors!"
"You will if you don't want to have Stephanie find out about what happened between us while you two were dating." Hunter's face went pale as he realized that Trish was talking about their one night together and the whole relationship they had when he and Steph took a break. He never told Stephanie about it, and he wanted to keep it that way.
"That's blackmail Trish!"
"I will do anything to get what I want, so are you going to do this for me... or am I going to have to tell Stephanie the truth about her perfect husband?"
He went into the doorway and gazed at Stephanie and knew that he could lose it all if he made the wrong choice. He then walked away. "What do you want me to do?"
"Good boy, I knew you would see it my way," she then explained what she wanted to do, "I will call you soon to make sure that you are still in. Bye lover boy." She then hung up and Hunter went back to Stephanie acting like nothing was wrong, but his heart was sinking deeper than when the Titanic sank
END FLASHBACK
Vanessa gave him a sympathetic look and said, "I am so sorry Hunter."
"What can I do? I can't tell Stephanie."
"Hunter, Stephanie knew."
Hunter looked shocked at this, "What did you say?"
"Hunter, Stephanie knew about you and Trish, why do you think that she asked for the break in first place? She was hurt on the fact that you did it plus she wanted to give you time and she wanted to make sure that you were the one for her. She figured you and Trish wouldn't last. She loves you Hunter, and she knows that you can overcome all the odds. You see Trish has nothing on you Hunter, can you please help me?"
"I can't ."
"Why?"
"Because then everyone will find out that I helped you, and then I will be arrested. Stephanie will leave me, and now that she is two months pregnant- "
"Stephanie is pregnant?"
"Yes, and I did this stupid mistake, and I don't know what to do." Hunter stood up and Vanessa walked up to him and took his hand.
"Help me Hunter, please help me. I can talk to Stephanie saying that Trish forced you to do this, and that it was all Trish's idea. You're a victim here, like me, we need to stand up to Trish. Plus," she placed Hunter's hand on her stomach, "I have this little one to think about, and you have the one Stephanie is carrying as well, are you going to let that woman destroy all that?" Hunter looked at her and she could see the confusion on his face as he debated. "I gotta go." He walked away, "I'll be back tomorrow to tie you back up before Trish gets here. With that Hunter left and Vanessa hoped that he would do the right thing.
"Yes," said Hunter as leaned against the wall across from her.
"But... but why?" asked Vanessa, "Why would you help that psycho with this plan?"
"Because," Hunter then walked up next to her, "she has something on me that could ruin my marriage with Stephanie."
