Continuing from Chapter seven...

"I don't like repeating myself, Amy. I don't like repeating it at all. You're gonna marry me and you're gonna raise Melissa with me. That's all to it, bitch!" Anthony raged as he grabbed her arm and yanked her towards him roughly. Crying was all she could do when she saw a minister walk in. She looked over her shoulder and saw Hunter holding Melissa against him and he was crying as well. She mouthed the words I'm so sorry to him before she returned her attention to the man who made her life a living hell.

"Why are you doing this to me? Have you already had done enough?" She hissed at him.

Anthony glared at her. "Shut the fuck up, okay? Don't you say another goddamn word, all right? Once we get married, you're gonna do what I want, when I want and how I want, got it?"

She just nodded her head and cried softly.

Don't worry, baby, Hunter thought, tears falling from his eyes as he watched the woman he loved being tormented by the man who ruined her life. I'll find a way to get you out of this bullshit!

"I'm so glad you can make it on short notice," Anthony said with a smile while he was shaking the man's hand firmly, greeting him.

"It's no problem at all. I had some time on my hands so I decided to come here and officiate this ceremony. So, who's the lucky bride you'll be marrying?" the minister asked proudly.

"This," Anthony said, pointing to her, "this woman is the mother of my daughter, Amy Christine Dumas."

"How are you doing, Miss?" the minister asked as he reached for her hand and kissed it gently.

"Just peachy," she mumbled. Her fear quickly turned to anger and frustration.

"Don't mind her," Anthony laughed nervously as he wrapped his arm around her waist tightly. "She's just as excited as I am about this wedding."

I'm not excited, you dumb son of a bitch! I'm disgusted, especially at you! She thought, anger boiling in her veins. She wanted to just take her daughter and run as far away from him as possible. But, since he's holding the whole restaurant (and the people) hostage, she's once again trapped under his sick and demented spell. She looked over her shoulder once again and saw Hunter pounding his fists together, wanting to beat the shit out of Anthony at any time. Surprisingly, she smiled at him, gesturing him to come over, for which he did.

"Why are you smiling?" he whispered in her ear.

"You see that minister over there, he's not a real minister. I'm gonna get Anthony so bad, he won't know what's gonna get him. I said I wasn't gonna break down again and this is just the beginning," Amy whispered back, grinning. Hunter planted a kiss on her forehead before he went back over to where the rest of the gang was sitting at. When he looked at the woman who meant more to him than anything else, she mouthed the words I love you to him.

He just smiled.

"Shall we get started?" the minister asked as he took his place in front of them.

"Yes, we shall. I'm anxious to make her my wife," Anthony encouraged as he yanked Amy right next to him.

"Okay, then. Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to witness the unholy union of Anthony Harper and Amy Dumas. Is there anyone who feels why this couple should not be joined together in holy matrimony, please speak now or forever hold your peace."

Everyone in the room started to protest, but they quickly remembered Anthony still had his gun in his hand. Everyone kept their mouths shut after that realization.

"All right, then. Now, Anthony, will you take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do," he said right away.

"Okay. Now, Amy, will you take this man as your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I-I do," she stammered. She just wanted to lay down and die so she won't have to deal with him ever again.

"Well, then, without further a do, by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."

With that sick smile on his face, Anthony took Amy in his arms and kissed her, shoving his stinking tongue down her throat, which caused her to gag. Apparently, he had alcohol in his system but that didn't stop him from kissing her. Plus, she didn't put up a fight because she knew doing that was gonna piss him off even more. Besides, she was smiling on the inside because soon, really soon, her 'husband' was gonna get his.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I now present to you, Mr and Mrs. Anthony Harper," the minister announced with a tainted smile on his face. The crowd of people erupted in scattered applause as the couple made their way towards Melissa, who was sleeping in her stroller.

"I believe she belongs to us, you bastard," Anthony snarled at Hunter as he grabbed the stroller. As they walked away, Hunter just wanted to jump out his seat and beat the living hell out of the man who robbed Amy of her life.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, my wife, my daughter and I are heading off. We just wanna thank you all for putting up with us at this time. We appreciate it very much if you didn't follow us," Anthony said with a triumph smile on his face. Just as he and Amy were about to leave, the minister blocked their exit.

"Forgot something?" Anthony asked, looking annoyed.

"As a matter of fact, I did. I forgot to mention that..." he stopped and started removing his minister costume, causing everyone to gasp at what he's doing. Once he removed his pants, he reached down in his pocket and pulled out a large handgun and police badge. "...that, Anthony Harper, you're under arrest for the rape of Amy Dumas."

"WHAT THE FUCK?" Anthony raged. Then, he looked over and saw Amy pushing Melissa back over to Hunter, who took her in his arms while the rest of the clan gathered around them. By the time he turned his attention back to the 'minister', he, along with two other officers had arrested him right on the spot.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS SHIT! YOU SET ME UP, BITCH!" he raged at Amy, who was holding Melissa in her arms. Without no fear lurking in her bones, she defiantly went over and stood face to face with him.

"Yes, I set you up, Anthony. I had no choice. I had made you believe we were married. And you thought you could get me pregnant again when you raped me in the bathroom, huh? Well, I got news for you, baby; I came prepared this time around. I'm on the pill!" she announced.

Anthony was shocked. Amy was no longer afraid of him.

"You took away my only special gift, Anthony. Now, I'm taking away your freedom. You're not gonna hurt me, my family and my friends ever again. But, I do wanna thank you for giving me Melissa. She's the best thing that ever happened to me; only now, I'm gonna raise her with the right man. The man I love. The man who's been more of a father to her than you will ever be. So how does it feel knowing that everything you always wanted in your life is being taken away from you at this very moment, huh?"

Anthony didn't say a word. He didn't have to say anything. Everything he had done to her has come back and bit him in his ass. Hard.

"Just like I thought. You have nothing to say, you worthless son of a bitch. Officers, please take him away. I have nothing else to say to his ass!" Amy stated before she turned her back away from Anthony and walked away with her head held high. The crowd applauded her for being so brave as she went back into Hunter's loving arms.

"I'm proud of you, baby. You stood up to him," he whispered in her ear.

"I'm proud of me, too, honey. I can now wake the next day without having anymore nightmare. I have you in my life and I couldn't ask for anything better," she said with a smile on her face. Then, after she handed Melissa over to Trish, she turned in his arms and planted a searing kiss on his lips.

Hunter just held her in his arms. He was just elated to have her like this.

One month later...

Looking over Melissa's baby pictures in her photo album, Amy was lying on the sofa watching a month old episode of RAW. A smile crept up on her face when she looked up on the screen, then burst out laughing when Hunter came out as Vince McMahon. Having D-Generation X back has been a whirlwind of fun, laughter and heartwarming moments.

At least, for Amy, she can finally experience those things again.

She knew she had to see Anthony again when they had to go to court, but, this time she was able to face him with her head held high. She did, however, not want her daughter to go through with the trauma so her mother, who came down to Atlanta a few weeks ago, opted to take care of her granddaughter while Amy went to court.

During the proceedings, lawyers who were representing Amy discovered that she wasn't Anthony's only victim. It was revealed during the hearings that he raped at least six other women, some under the age of 25, over the course of the last three years. Out of all them, however, Amy was the only victim to have gotten pregnant by him. Boy, this dude is gonna do some hard time in prison.

Her thoughts then shifted to the unborn child she had come to love and she had come to lost almost 15 years ago. She wanted to shoot daggers at her sick and twisted uncle for what he did to her, but, he's dealing with the devil now. He can rot in hell as far as she's concerned.

Just then, Melissa started crying. Amy bolted out of her seat and ran right upstairs so she could take care of her daughter. She burst in the nursery and saw her daughter bouncing up and down in the crib, screaming her little lungs out. Immediately she went over there and picked her little girl up in her arms and rocked her gently. That's when Melissa stopped crying.

"You just want me to hold you, huh, little Bella?" Amy chuckled as she saw her daughter lay her head against her shoulder.

"I understand, little Bella," she whispered softly as she sat down on the rocking chair. Then, she started singing her a lullaby as she rocked Melissa back and forth. The baby felt her eyes were about to close as her mother continued singing to her. When she got done, she felt Melissa's breath began to even in and out. That's when she knew her daughter had fell asleep.

Being as quiet as she could, Amy rose from her rocking chair and placed her sleeping daughter back in her crib. After pulling the covers over her body, she leaned down and kissed her daughter on her head before she tiptoed out of the nursery.

"Everything okay?" Hunter asked as he came out of her master bedroom.

She smiled. "Everything's fine, baby. Little Bella just needed to be held so I sang her a lullaby and she fell right back to sleep."

"That's good," he said before he took her in his arms and planted a sweet kiss on her forehead. "So, how are you feeling, Bella?"

"Realistically, I felt like I've been liberated. I mean, I don't have to worry about Anthony coming after me and my daughter ever again and I won't have to look over my shoulder anymore, especially now that I have you. Does that answer your question?" she asked, grinning.

"Other than that I love you, you pretty much made your point," he said before he leaned down and planted a searing kiss on her lips.

"I love you, too, Hunter."

Next chapter, Lita will finally experience pure pleasure! Stay tuned!
