Chapter ten

Three months later...

Jennifer couldn't believe it. In less than a few weeks, she'll become Mrs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley. As she modeled the wedding dress she decided to have, everything that happened in her life became clear: she was happy and she was free.

She and Hunter decided to get married before she started showing. Thank God she hasn't gained any weight yet. Her cravings were ice cream and chocolate bars and she started showing a little bit of belly.

After paying for it, Jennifer carried her dress out to her car, not realizing that another car was parked right next to her. She carefully placed the dress in the backseat before she started the engine and drove away.

Chris slammed his hands against the steering wheel, obviously upset. How could this happen? She's getting married again? That bitch should still be married to him, for crying out loud!

Then he heard she's carrying his child. That baby should be his. Jennifer said she could never have children with because, according to her, he wouldn't be a good father.

He decided to end this nonsense once and for all. He started the engine and tore through the streets. He was gonna get Jennifer back or he was gonna die trying.

"Hello? Is anyone home?" Jennifer yelled as she walked in the house, her dress draped over her arms.

Vince and Linda came out, wearing smiles on their faces. Linda took the dress away from her while Vince handed her a glass of water. Jennifer thanked them and took a big swig, realizing how warm she was.

"You must be tired," Linda said as she rubbed her back.

Jennifer smiled. "I am. Running around doing errands all day really wore me out."

"Well, why don't you go upstairs and rest for a while? We'll take care of the rest," Vince suggested with a smile.

"I think I'll do that." she headed for the stairs, not before she kissed him on the cheek.

Once she got to her room, Jennifer quickly fell on the bed. She closed her eyes and snored lightly, wearing out romantic dreams of Hunter.

Too bad her ex-husband was just under her nose.

"Man, how does it feel to be getting married again?" 25-year-old Randy Orton asked as he took a sip of champagne.

Hunter just smiled. "I can't believe this is happening. I can't wait to make her my wife."

Hunter, Randy and Dave was in his locker room drinking champagne and laughing. It was a normal day but with good reason. They were celebrating Hunter's upcoming marriage to Jennifer.

Randy looked at the happy groom with a smile. He was so happy to see Hunter smile again after his ordeal with Stephanie. Jennifer made him live again.

"See, I told you to get your ass out of that slump. Now you've got a woman who's making you feel whole again," Dave said. Then he clinked his glass with Hunter's.

"Ha-ha. Very funny. As I recall, you were in the same slump when Angie died," Hunter reminded him.

"True, true. And I thank you for getting me out of the slump when Victoria came along. She's the best thing that ever happened to me." Dave laughed.

Randy raised his glass up in the air. "To Hunter's marriage. May it be a long and happy one."

All three men clinked their glasses together.

Jennifer slept soundly. Sleep did her a lot of good. With everything that's going on, including her upcoming wedding, she was totally exhausted.

She turned over on her back and slowly began to open her eyes. There was a man looming over her. Her vision was blurry so couldn't make of who he was. Besides, she already assumed it was Hunter.

When her vision became more clear, she was shocked. This was not Hunter nor Vince.

It was Chris, her ex-husband!

"What in the hell are you doing here?" Jennifer exclaimed.

His face remained firm. "It's time for you to come home, Jen."

She snorted. "I'm not coming back home with you. As I recall, we're divorced."

He grabbed her by the arm and yanked her out of bed. "What you did was the BIGGEST mistake of your life! You're taking money from my family, you're taking our home away from me. Really, how stupid can you be?"

"You were the stupid one. Your family giving me money was not their choice. Since you couldn't pay alimony for the harm you inflicted on me, your family had to suffer," Jennifer reminded him in a stern tone.

The result was her getting slapped in her face. "You're only making things more complicated. Get your things and let's go. We're going home!"

She kicked him in his balls and wasted no time running out of the room with her cell phone in her hand. Dialing Hunter's number, she hoped he would pick up before Chris gets to her again.

"Hello?" Hunter said after two rings.

"Hunter, it's Jennifer. Listen, you've gotta get here right away!" Jennifer yelled.

"Why? What's going on over there?" he sounded concerned.

"It's Chris. He's found me. He's trying to take me back home. I need your help!" she cried.

"Don't worry, baby. I'll bring some people along and we'll be there as soon as possible. Just hide somewhere he won't find you," he demanded.

Jennifer snapped her phone shut and kept running, hearing footsteps coming from upstairs. She hoped and prayed he wouldn't find her or else she could be in a world of trouble.

"Guys, I gotta go," Hunter said to Randy and Dave.

"Why? What happened?" Dave asked curiously.

"It's Jennifer. Her ex has come back to reclaim her. I need to get to the house before he does something I know he's gonna regret," Hunter explained.

Randy touched his arm gently. "Listen. Dave, why don't you go with Hunter and I'll go get Vince and the police. We can all meet up at the house."

"That's a good idea but hurry. I know what Chris is capable of doing to her." Hunter ran out of the room with Dave trailing close behind.

He hoped to be there before it's too late.

Jennifer hid in the pantry, trying her hardest not to make a sound. For all she know, Chris could be anywhere in the house. She just want him to leave her alone.

When she heard nothing, Jennifer climbed out of the hole and quietly ran up the stairs. She opened the door and peeked, seeing no one in sight. Sighing deeply, she quickly ran towards the front door.

Just when she was able to be free, Chris tackled her to the floor. Screaming, she kicked and struggled to get away from him but he was too strong for her.

"You're coming back to me, you little slut!" Chris yelled in her face.

Jennifer started to cry. She couldn't believe he came back for her. Now, she was afraid he was gonna kill her.

Just then, the door burst opened.

When Chris turned around, he came face to face with Hunter's fist. Down he went like a ton of bricks, causing him to release Jennifer from his grip.

Vince, Dave, Randy and three police officers barged in and handcuffed Chris. He glared at Jennifer the entire time with rage in his eyes. When they carried him away, once again he managed to spit in her face.

This time, Jennifer stopped them in their tracks. With her pride restored, she slapped him as hard as she could.

"I hope you rot in hell!" she screamed in his face.

They left the house. Then she went in his arms and cried. She was so glad he came when he did.

"Are you okay, baby?" Hunter asked as he kissed her forehead.

She managed to smile. "He hit me once but I'm all right. I wanna thank you all for being here."

Vince rubbed her back slowly. "We love you, little one. We wound let no one or nothing happen to you."

Jennifer's smile grew wider.
