A/N: Hey look it's more of the story. I think we're nearing the end of this lovely tale.

Never Say Never

Chapter 31

Lorelei sighed. She didn't even think as she signed on the dotted line. She wanted to end the farse of a marriage. She knew this was necessary to move on with her life. Anything else wasn't an option for her.

This was definitely the hardest decision she had ever made in her entire life. She still loved him, but the relationship wasn't healthy for either of them. If she didn't do this one or both of them was going to self destruct.

She could only imagine Paul's reaction when he received the papers. He was going to be absolutely livid. She was glad there was so much distance between them.


Paul had yet to find something absolutely amazing that would begin to make the things he had done right. The only thing right now he was happy about was that he hadn't received any divorce papers. It kept him going and kept him from losing all sanity.

He checked his mail saying a silent prayer that the divorce papers wouldn't come. Unfortunately, today he found the one thing he'd been dreading.

He was beyond angry that she had done this. He was more angry at Randy though. He was the one who had pushed her to this. He was the one who ultimately helped her make this decision and actually file the papers.

He read through the papers and realized how lucky he would make out if he signed the papers. Lorelei only wanted what she had rightfully earned from her contract wit the WWE. He was getting away easier than he had with Stephanie. The last sheet of paper in the envelope was covered with Lorelei's handwriting.

Paul,

Denying I love you would be lying. I do still love you, but I can't keep doing this. We don't trust each other anymore, and that is only stressing both of us out.

Please don't fight this. I only want to close this and move on to where ever life might take both of us. If you love me you'll give me at least that.

I hope you and your little girl find happiness. Despite their flaws, everyone deserves happiness. I also hope that in time you find some sense of peace.

Always

Lorelei

He wasn't sure what to thing about the letter. Part of him wanted to fight this, the other part of him wanted Lorelei to be happy. This was the first time in a long time part of him was willing to put someone else's wants in front of his own. It was scaring him.

He decided to put the papers aside for the moment so he could relieve the desire to hurt something. He'd have to settle for working out instead of beating the hell out of Randy like he wanted to.


It had been weeks since Lorelei sent Paul the papers; she was beginning to get anxious. She didn't know how much longer she could deal with the waiting game that Paul was playing.

"Whatcha thinking about?" Randy asked.

"How much longer I can deal with the waiting game Paul is playing," Lorelei said.

"He just wants to see how long your willing to give for this," Randy said. He knew first hand the game the man played in and out of the ring.

"I just want to get this over with. I can't deal with all this dram anymore," Lorelei told him.

"It'll all be over eventually," Randy said. "Just remember all good things take time."

"I know, but right now that's not a lot of comfort. I just want to start a new phase of my life. I want to see what the future holds," Lorelei told him. She wasn't exactly sure a better way to put that into words.

"Once he knows you're serious he'll figure out away to get everything he possibly can from this and sign the papers," Randy said. "He has to make himself look like the victim."

"No one is the victim in this stupid situation. Paul screwed up majorly twice and I let him fool me twice," Lorelei said. "All I want is the money from my contract. He can have everything that he worked for before we got together."

"He knows that he's just making it worth the effort. He wants you to work for every penny you get out of the divorce," Randy reminded her.

"He's probably blaming you for everything I've done recently. Heaven forbid I make my own decisions with my won logic and moral system," Lorelei said.

"That, my dear, will be his ultimate downfall," Randy said. "He's always underestimated you. He doesn't believe you'll stick to your guns."

"I know. He thinks that I'm supposedly helpless. In his mind I would never be able to make any decision that requires the least bit of common sense or will power," Lorelei said. She didn't know why she did it as he had seen Stephanie, Stacy, and Jackie at the receiving end of her wrath.

"Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter that he doesn't see the same woman that I see," Randy told her.
