Chapter 2
Stephanie
"…..seal it with a kiss."
As Hunter roughly grabs me and kisses me, I try so hard not to kiss him back. Instead I let my arms flail helplessly by my side, pretending to be the innocent little victim. Only I'm not so innocent. If only daddy dearest knew how many times Hunter had kissed me; deep passionate kisses that made me tingle from the tips of my toes. I had never been kissed like that before. Then again I'd never been with a man like Hunter. There was a fire inside my husband; emotions so intense that they could steal your breath away. I could feel that intensity each and every time he would look at me. Then there was the way he took me. My God! There were no words to describe how Hunter made me feel. My body would be overwhelmed by the things he would do to me. There was the way his hands would grab my body with a rough and desperate need and I knew right then and there he wanted me just as much as I wanted him. And God did I want him.
So unfortunately it appears that I've forgotten that wanting Hunter was never part of the plan. See, I was never supposed to get involved with him, not personally. This arrangement between us was meant to be strictly business, nothing else. God, I was so stupid for even thinking that was possible. How could it be when I had been attracted to Hunter in the first place? Well physically attracted anyways and who could blame me? He is an extremely handsome guy; a handsome and dangerous guy by all accounts. I think that's what really turns me on about him. Hunter can be dangerous and completely unpredictable. He's also a man who is completely willing and able to stand up to my father. That's why he was the first person I thought of. I knew Hunter would be prepared to do whatever it took to get one over on Daddy dearest.
God, I can still remember the way he looked at me in that hotel bar when I told him what I had planned. There was an admiration there; an admiration and a silent respect. Well respect is something my father will learn all about at Armageddon. And it will be entirely his own fault too. He was the one who put the business before me. He was the one that sacrificed his own flesh and blood. He was the one that hurt his little girl. Well I'm going to hurt him right back. I'm going to take everything away that he loves so dearly. Maybe then he'll see what a mistake it was to take me for granted. Because damn it, I'm Stephanie Marie McMahon. I'm not my mother. I'm not that pathetic and weak that I'll forgive his mistakes. And God knows he's made plenty of those over the years. And his biggest mistake? Underestimating me, his own fucking daughter.
But as Hunter breaks the kiss and laughs, I remember I'm not Stephanie McMahon any longer. I'm Stephanie McMahon Helmsley. I'm Hunter's wife. And I can't wait to see my father's face when he realises the truth. It's going to kill him to know I wasn't forced to marry Hunter. I married him of my own free will and together we will get what we want. Nothing can stop us and no one will stand in our way including my father. He'll learn the hard way that no one screws with me and gets away with it. Daddy's little girl is all grown up and in six days time I'm going to break his heart just like he broke mine.
