Part Two

"What do you want Kane?"

"Now, Lita. Is that anyway to greet me?" the taller man snarled, still clutching her by her neck.

Lita shook herself, attempting to free herself from Kane's grasp. It didn't do any good though. "You've already ruined my life. What else could you possibly want now?" she hissed.

Kane took a step back and laughed, releasing her from his clutch. "I'm so sorry I interrupted your little moment with Hardy. But I thought he should know the truth before he made a huge mistake."

"Mistake?" Lita scoffed. "The only 'mistake' made here is me being stupid enough to let you intimidate me. I hate you," she seethed. She blinked furiously to keep the tears from resurfacing once more.

Kane chuckled, impressed by the fire in the woman's eyes. "Oh dear Lita," he said smoothly, reaching out to push a strand of her hair behind her ear. Lita flinched at the motion. "the last thing I could let happen is for you to accept that proposal." He stroked her hair, which unnerved Lita. "Don't you see? You don't belong to Matt. You belong to me."

Lita stiffened at his words. She lifted her head high. "No, Kane. You don't get it. I don't belong to you. I don't belong to anyone. I choose to be with Matt, because I love him and he loves me."

"Are you sure, Lita?" an evil grin on his face. "Cause last I saw of him, he was pretty upset with you. You lied to him Lita. You betrayed him by sleeping with another man. Is that how you love him? With lies and deceit?"

"I was trying to protect him. You know that, you ogre. I love him more than life itself."

"Interesting choice of words, sweetheart." He took a step closer, pushing Lita back up against the car. Because I love something too. I love fear."

"Kane, look"

"Listen girl. I stopped his little wedding plans. But I want more. You will not be with Matt Hardy. You understand? You belong to me. But you've messed up my plans. You went and got yourself knocked up."

Lita gulped at what the larger man was saying. "What? No. Kane, this baby could be Matt's and..."

"No options Lita. The future is mine. Don't you see my plan? I'm going to get the world belt, that idiot Bischoff is my puppet, and the whole federation will bow down to me. I will finally have the ultimate control and respect I've deserved for so long. And you'll be in it where and how I want you to." He laughed at his supposed accomplishments. "I even get the girl." He run his finger down her nose, stopping to lightly tap the end. He turned deathly serious once more. With a menacing sneer, he added, "Or else."

Lita pushed his hand away from her face. "No, Kane. I won't do it. I won't leave Matt. I'm going to try to work things out with him. And I'm keeping our baby. Matt and I and this baby can still be a family."

"Aw I'm disappointed, Lita." Kane patronized her with a mocking tone. "Don't forget, that baby could be mine you know."

"No, it's not. In my heart, I know it's not."

Kane leaned forward, inches from Lita's face. "I suggest you use your head instead of your heart. Be with me Lita, or Matt will continue to pay for your transgressions. I'd be a real shame to see such a healthy young man spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, don't you think?" He went on. "And if that's not enough initiative, I'll guarantee you your baby will never know you or his supposed daddy. Have I made myself clear?"

Lita's heart dropped to her stomach. "Crystal," she whispered.

"Good." With that, Kane turned and stalked away, leaving the redhead alone once more. Lita turned, jerking the car door open and jumping inside, quickly locking the door behind her. Starting the engine, she stomped the gas and raced the car out of the garage, trying to get as far away from the madman as possible. After going about a mile, she pulled over, her tears no longer allowing her clear vision to keep driving.

"Oh God," she cried. "What am I going to do now?"
