Eve pulled her knees up to her chin, staring from the bed how John was packing his bags.

Tears threatened to escape her eyes, but she fought them back.

John scanned the room, making sure he had everything packed and then he approached the bed.

He knelt down in front of Eve and stroked her cheek softly.

"Promise me you will not worry about me, babe."

Eve leaned into his touch and kissed his hand lightly, "Okay, I'll try, I promise."

"I'll be all right," He assured her, "I can deal with all this shit and I'll do it. You know how important it is to me that you are in my life and that you do love me so much."

"I do, John. More than anything," She said, as she cupped his face in her hands, "But baby, don't let her ruin anything you have been fighting for all these years. Money is not everything. Give her what she wants, John. You are still young, you have a job, and me too. We both together can make it. We are earning more than enough to have a great life."

"It's not about money, Eve. I just won't give her a chance to win. I'm not squeamish about her anymore. If she hadn't been that money grubber I would have given her anything. But now she will get nothing. She had a great life, spending my money not bothering to earn even a penny all her life. Now I'll show her the tough part of life. She would understand how hard money is earned."

"But she is able to through all the shit over you," Eve warned him.

"I don't give a damn, baby. You're all that matters to me. I have ever been honest with you. You know all about my past, and I care only about your opinion."

"I just want you to be all right."

"I know…" He leaned down and kissed her lips gently before looking up at her.

"What would I do without you?" She asked sadly.

"It will be 15th, before you know it," He smiled, as his thumb brushed across her cheek.

Eve nodded.

"You will be a good girl, right?" John smirked, raising his eyebrow at her.

Eve rolled her eyes, "John…" She sighed.

"Don't blame me if I'm worried, baby. I'm leaving the most beautiful woman where is full of men who looks at you with tongues all hanging out their mouths."

Eve smiled, slapping John jokingly on the shoulder.

"Hey," He protested but she shut him with a kiss.

"I love you," He whispered.

"I love you too."

"See you soon."

"Yeah…."

John kissed the top of her forehead. He then grabbed his luggage and started walking towards the door.

He turned his head back to face Eve's beautiful face again before leave.

"Taka care, John," She said, her voice trembled.

"You too, baby girl."

Maria was lying down on her bed, trying to sort out her thoughts, when she heard a loud knock on the door. When the knocking was repeated, she jumped out of the bed, pulling her robe over her nightdress. Walking beside the mirror, she didn't even look at the reflection. She had a hard time sleeping last night because thoughts of Randy wouldn't leave her alone.

She opened the door and her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

"Hey, I'm sorry if I woke you up," Randy apologized, his voice full of concern.

"No, don't worry. Anyway, I couldn't sleep well," She replied.

"Can I come in?"

"Yeah… yeah… sure," Maria moved aside to let him get in.

She closed the door and turned to face him.

Randy's eyes were examining her and Maria felt slightly embarrassed.

She started fixing her hair, "I'm sorry… I know I look awful…"

The Viper couldn't help but smile at the sight of her blushing cheeks, "You look great… you always look great. Mostly without all this shit you women put on your faces."

"You are a very good liar, Randy," She told him.

"I'm completely honest as I have always been with you," He said in a very serious voice.

Maria swallowed and then asked anxiously," Tell me what happened? " She took a deep breath before asking the question of which she was afraid to know the answer, "Did you talk to Hunter?"

"I would have called you last night, but it was already late and I didn't want to disturb you. I thought you might be sleeping but as I see you didn't manage to do it," He observed and then added sadly, "I'm sorry for all I've caused to you."

"You haven't caused me anything, Randy," She calmed him, "What did happen with Pam? Where is she?"

"Rick drove her to the airport last night," Randy replied, as he ran a hand through his short cut hair, "I asked her for divorce."

Maria couldn't hide her surprise, "You did?"

"Yep," He confirmed, "I've had enough. We can't go on like this anymore. Our marriage is crap."

"How did she take it?"

"Just as I expected it. She started talking the usual shit how this would affect my mom, Ali…."

"Are you sure this is the right decision? I mean…that all between you two is over and that things can't be made," Maria asked cautiously, feeling a little weird, asking such questions.

"Absolutely," Randy said firmly, "Our issues are not from yesterday. Too bad for Pam, she doesn't want to see the truth. I know she won't make it easy for me, but I'm convinced to do it no matter what she is planning to put me on. There are no doubts following my decision. I really want to talk to you more, but I've got to get going. John is waiting for me. We are going back to USA."

"Oh…." Maria stammered, her voice trembled, "You… are going back… " She cringed and shook her head.

So, Hunter…. He had just suspended them.

Noticing Maria's reaction, Randy smiled at her, "Relax baby girl. It's only for 4 days. Hunter is cool. He scared the shit out of us. We thought we were fired, but eventually he told us it was only until 15th. "

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Maria's euphoria was obvious.

Randy couldn't help but smile softly at the happiness that grew on Maria's face.

"I was so preoccupied he would suspend you even fire you… but he is really great."

"He is, indeed. I have to admit that he saved my ass again even this time."

"Did you manage to talk to Barbie?"

Randy let a heavy sigh escape his lips, "I did," He nodded in confirmation, "Hell, she was out of rage…not that I blame her. After two-hour talking, she said she would think whether to put on trial Pam or not."

"What about John? Did he talk to AJ?"

"Yeah, everything is fine. She somehow understands the situation."

"She is a good girl. I don't know her well, but…she looks pretty cool, indeed," Maria commented.

"It seems so," Randy agreed.

"So… uh.. you are leaving now…" Maria bit her bottom lip nervously.

"Yep. I have a lot of things to take care of. Talk to Pam, my mom and dad and my lawyer."

"What about your daughter?"

"I don't think to get her involved in this shit. I'll try to protect her as much as it is possible. In the course of time we are going to explain her slowly in the best painless way possible."

Maria nodded, "Yes, it would be the best for her if you manage to save her all this."

Randy slowly approached her, as he reached out and touched her hair with the ends of his fingers, "I know I have no the right to ask you that but will you wait for me?"

His deep husky voice sent shivers down her spine.

Maria took a deep, steadying breath, losing it all in a rush when she looked into his eyes, "Of course Randy," She tried to find her voice, "I'll be waiting for you. Just promise me you won't do anything stupid."

"I promise you, baby girl," His palm was cupping her cheek, his fingers combed into her hair, "Thank you."

"For what?"

"For making me believe that there is still bright light in my life….."

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

John and Randy were looking at the birth of sunrise from the runway where two private jets were ready to board the both wwe superstars.

Both men hugged, slapping each other on the back, before their paths were going to separate. The one to Saint Louis, the other to Tampa.

Randy sent a message to his wife that he was coming home while was walking to the jet, and John called his long time friend, asking him for help to pack his things from the house he still was sharing with Lia. This didn't mean he was giving up the house. He just wanted to get some stuff he really valued a lot because he was afraid that Lia could destroy them in cold blood . After that, he was going to call his lawyer for an appointment with him to arrange all the details about his divorce.

During all the flight to Saint Louis, Randy made anything possible to get some sleep and to clear his thoughts from all the trouble that was surrounded him. Surprisingly even to him, he finally managed to get some much-needed sleep. Although all the issues, just the thought of Maria was giving him forces and hope to fight and continue ahead.

When he landed, and the airplane was still taxing, his phone beeped to announce he had received a new text message. It was from his mother.

Randy frowned, reading that all the family was in his parent's home waiting for him. The unpleasant feeling that Pam had been thinking of something again was creeping into him. But he was firmly confident and positive that he wouldn't let her continue manipulating his life. If she thought, she was going to use the others to gain some advantage and that this would help her she was absolutely on the wrong way.

As the taxicab parked in front of his parent's house, Randy took a deep breath coming out of the car. Now he was in for the biggest fight of his life. So many years in the wrestling business, were taught him two important things. The victory was coming when you could assess the situation and your opponent, and if you were going to fall to know how exactly to do it without hurting yourself. And he knew it pretty well.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

When John arrived at his house in Tampa, his wife was nowhere to be seen. He was content because he didn't have any wish to see her still even worse to talk to her. He collected his stuff quickly with the help of his friend and they brought everything in his apartment.

"Thank you, man. I appreciate everything you do for me, "John said gratefully.

"You are always welcome, John. You know you can rely on me for everything."

"I know, bro. And I'm really grateful for that. Now I want to catch the first plane to Boston. I need to talk to my lawyer and my family. I don't want my mom to know that I have filed for divorce from the net. "

"I see, John.I hope everything turns out alright"

"Everything will be fine," John nodded confidently.

"I'm with you. If you need a witness I'll be there for you."

John smiled, clapping him on the shoulder in a friendly manner, "I'll keep it in mind, dude. Thanks again."

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"Randy!" Elaine Orton couldn't stop her emotions and drew her son into her embrace.

"Hi, mom," He greeted his mother and hugged her too.

"You look tired," Elaine noticed immediately," I told your dad that you seem to me losing weight, and he said that this was from the TV. Do you eat regularly?"

"Mom, please…"

"I'm worried about you, honey. Don't make that face. I'm still your mother. And what is that beard? Whose idea is this? Stefanie's?"

"What's wrong with my beard?" Randy rolled his eyes.

"You look older. Anyway, come inside. Ali is waiting for you impatiently. Pam as well."

Randy was wondering whether Pam had mentioned something to his mother but by her reaction, it was evident that she had said nothing. So, that meant she had chosen the strategy to behave as if there were nothing and everything was normal.

Fine.

If she wanted this way he would let her be, but her relief wouldn't last for long.

"Daddy, daddy," Ali exclaimed as she rushed in her dad's embrace.

"Hey princess," Randy kissed her "How are you doing?"

"Great."

"Good. I'm sorry I haven't bought you anything."

"No problem, dad. I'm happy to see you."

After he enjoyed the presence of her daughter, she went outside to continue playing with her toys.

"Hello baby," Pam greeted him softly as she showed up from the kitchen wearing an apron,"We will make it an Italian evening and it will be all your favorite foods. That's why we decided to call all the family," She smiled sweetly.

Randy looked at her, "What a nice idea, indeed," He commented in a strange tone and then asked, "Are Becky and Nathan here?"

"They are outside," Pam replied.

"Great, I'm going to greet them," Randy said, as he walked beside Pam, ignoring her attempt to give him a kiss.

The three siblings were chatting happily for a while, when Elaine joined them.

"Randy, I think you'll be very surprised by Pam. She is doing her best to prepare your favorite food and she asked me to teach her how to cook. Isn't it great?"

"Isn't it a bit late for that?" The sarcasm in Becky's voice was too obvious.

Her mother threw her a warning look, "It might be not a bad idea if you follow her example. "

"Well, I'm not in a hurry… After all, Pam has been waiting for 5 years to do it, right?" Becky smirked.

Randy chuckled amused. His sister definitely couldn't hide her disgust to his wife, and still from the beginning the sympathy was missing between them.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Randy had watched closely tonight the way Pam was acting, and he couldn't deny he was disgusted with her. She obviously hoped that with hypocrisy and impudence she was going to take advantage.

She didn't stop ingratiate his mother and Randy knew pretty well the reason for all this. She was doing anything possible to get Elaine on her side. All her efforts to please him, preparing his favorite food, and this behavior could not mislead him. He could hardly contain himself to lying all his of cards on the table right now. But he had promised Maria he wouldn't do anything stupid. He had to be patient.

"Elaine, could you make some coffee, please? The show of Rick and Maria is starting any minute," Bob asked his wife as he started flipping through the channels.

Randy had completely forgotten that today there was Maria's show.

"Your dad is like obsessed with this new show. He stares at the screen without seeing or hearing ," Elaine informed Randy and went to the kitchen.

Randy sighed, "Not that I blame him," He thought.

"I have to admit that it's an absolute pleasure to watch it. It's very well done . Such a show was needed. And I like what Steamboat and Malenko do as well. "

"If you are asking me the show sucks. Except Maria's part," Randy's younger brother commented with a smirk, "Does Punk still bang her?" He asked curiously.

"Watch your mouth, bro," Randy snapped at him, as he slapped the back of his neck.

"Ouch, that was painful," Nathan complained.

Bob Orton shook his head, "You are lucky your mom isn't here. I'll pretend I didn't hear that."

"What did I say so badly?" Nathan put on an innocent face and shrugged his shoulders.

"Language, bro. Especially when you are talking about Maria," Randy said seriously, and that observation didn't miss to Randy's father, who just looked at him, without saying anything.

'Ladies and Gentlemen,'

The sound of Maria's voicesent waves of electricity through The Apex predator of wwe.

'Please welcome my guest for tonight –Y2J- Chris Jericho.'

Groaning, Randy rolled his eyes.

Jericho and Orton were friends, but the way Canadian man was looking at Maria didn't like to The Viper. Of course, Randy was well aware of the fact that Jericho was looking any alive woman like that, but this wasn't a relief.

"I hope Jericho will return back soon. Raw is not the same without him, "Bob commented, sipping his coffee.

Randy said nothing, as his eyes were fixed on the TV screen.

Maria looked stunning tonight, and her smile always kind of made him smile too.

"Well, baby," Hearing Pam's voice, Randy's smile disappeared immediately, "Ali is already sleeping. Will you take her to the car?"

Without giving her even a look, he just stated, "No,"

"What?" Pam asked him with a slight astonishment in her voice.

"I said no," He repeated, "I'm staying here. Ali too," He said simply.

Bob Orton gave his son a curious look as poured himself another cup of coffee.

Pam smiled nervously, "Ok then. I'll ask Elaine to prepare Ali's room."

Randy did not bother to reply.

Pam waited a few seconds before sighing, "I'm going to help her to prepare also the guest room for us."

This time Randy looked at her, giving her an ironic smile, "Please do."

Pam didn't have other choice but to walk out of the living room to escape the awkward moment. Randy looked over his shoulder for a short moment before turning his attention back to the T.V.

Seeing all that, Bob Orton just shook his head silently.

"I keep a special bottle of whiskey in my cabinet. Do you want to join me? " Bob asked his son, as the show finished.

"Sure," Randy nodded in agreement, "Why not."

"Great, just the thing I needed. It's perfect opportunity for me to smoke a cigar," Bob smiled, "Without your mom to know of course."

Randy and his father entered his room. The Viper took a seat on the comfortable lounge in front of the old desk while his dad was pouring two glasses of whiskey. He then lit up a cigar, before settling himself comfortably on the other side of the desk.

"This is one of the few pleasant things that remain to the people at my age," Bob admitted blowing out the smoke with a satisfied countenance.

"You don't need to abuse with it, you know?" Randy raised his eyebrows, smiling.

"You sound like your mom," His father groaned.

Randy laughed and took a sip of his drink.

"So, how is the work going? Is everything fine?"

"It's all right, dad. You know how it is," Randy said.

"You are right. I know. That's why I'm wondering what you are doing home during a promo tour?"

Randy stared at his glass, before taking a generous gulp of his whiskey. He then raised his eyes, meeting the gaze of his father.

"Hunter released me for 4 days," Randy replied.

"I guess this is not a holiday," Bob suggested.

"No, it's not," Randy admitted.

"What's going on, Randy?" His dad demanded.

Randy let out a deep sigh escape his lips before saying, "It's complicated, dad. But I'll tell you this straight. I want to divorce Pam," He revealed.

Bob 's face didn't show any sign of emotion.

"I know this wouldn't like to you and mom, but I can't live like this anymore," Randy said sincerely, "I'm not happy. My marriage is a real torture. I know that I have done a lot of mistakes, and I'm ready to admit and accept them, but I'm absolutely sure for one thing. Pam is not the woman I'd like to spend the rest of my life with."

"So, you've already decided it," Bob suggested.

"Absolutely," Randy stated firmly.

"I should ask you…" After a short pause Bob inquired, "Is there someone else?"

Randy expected this question, and he needed to be sincere with his father," I…I like a girl very much, but please don't think she's the reason I want to leave Pam."

"Since when you see this girl?"

"We have known each other for years, but soon we started spending more time together. I mean…" Randy felt a bit uncomfortable, talking about this with his father, "We haven't …. had sex… it's just that when I'm around her I feel calm and happy. Something I have never experienced with Pam, not even at the beginning."

"Your mom had suspicions that there must have been another woman in your life," Bob said.

Randy shook his head, "She doesn't have anything to do with my issues I'm having with Pam, dad."

"Look, Randy. There is no need to explain yourself to me. I'm not stupid. I've seen how Pam treated you, and I'm well aware that this is not a happy marriage. I understand that you've fallen for this girl, but there is one very important particularity. Ali."

"I know, dad. Do you think I don't get it. Trust me if it hadn't been for Ali I would have divorced Pam years ago. But I can't stand my life anymore. I'm at my limits, and I'm afraid I could make some shit."

"What are your intentions now?"

"I'll call Jerry tomorrow to prepare the divorce papers. I'll have a serious talk with Pam. She has made a lot of shit recently that provoked me to get this decision," Randy said and told his dad everything.

"God, what you're telling me is terrible," Bob sighed, still perplexed by what he had just heard.

"It is, indeed…" Randy nodded.

"Just make sure you'll do the things so that your daughter wouldn't suffer," Bob Orton advised his son.

"I'd do anything possible. I'll not let Pam use her to keep me."

"I think to tell nothing yet to Elaine," Bob suggested worried.

"Yes, it's better that way. Let me talk to Pam first."

"So, tell me about this mysterious girl. Is she a Diva?"

"A former diva," Randy clarified.

"Hmmm, a former diva you say, huh?"

"She is amazing, dad. She's the most honest and sincere person I know. And she is beautiful, sexy and has a really killing smile."

"It's Maria, isn't it?"

Randy's mouth opened in astonishment, "How do you know?"

"I can be old, retired and anything but I'm still not blind and…" He smirked, "I'm a man too."

Randy chuckled, shaking his head. He felt a massive weight lift from his shoulders. And he was glad that he shared everything with his father.

"Can I sleep here?" The Viper asked as his dad stood up, "I don't want to deal with Pam tonight. I really need some sleep I want my head to be clear tomorrow."

"Of course, son. I don't like the happening and probably in other circumstances I would argue with you but you are already cleared yourself and after all you are a grown up man," Bob tapped his son on the shoulder.

"Thanks dad. It really means a lot."

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"I know it's not pleasant for you to hear it, but there is no turning back," John said to Carol Cena, as he had just told about his intentions to divorce his wife.

"I'm not surprised, John. I would lie if I say I didn't expect it."

"It's a shitty situation, but I have to admit that Lia is the biggest mistake in my life."

"You know? Mothers have an instinct about their children. I knew she wasn't for you. I have seen things in her I just couldn't like and accept and if I remember correctly I told you my opinion about this marriage. Honestly speaking, now I feel a bit guilty, because I'm afraid I might have influenced your decision."

"No, mom," John shook his head, "You don't have anything to do with that. I really should have listened to you."

"You don't have to regret anything, John. You learn from the mistakes you make."

"I'm glad you support me."

"Of course I do John. I'm definitely not happy with this , but I also believe this is the right decision."

"It is, mom, indeed."

After the conversation with his mom, John went to meet his lawyer. He explained to John what he would expect, and according to him, it wouldn't be that difficult for John after they didn't have any kids. Of course, John knew pretty well Lia and he was sure she wouldn't give it up so easily.

After the meeting, the face of WWE went back home tired. He fell on the bed and the sleep came immediately.

The smell of home-cooked meal hit John and his mouth watered instantly. He definitely missed his mother's amazing cooking skills. He stood up and found Carol in the kitchen.

"Mmmm… it smells delicious," He confessed.

"Well, I wouldn't miss out on an opportunity to spoil you a little. You come back home so rarely that you deserve to be treated specially."

"Thanks, mom. I'm going to wash myself and then I'm going to help you."

"Fine. Your dad and brothers are coming in about an hour so I wouldn't mind some help."

"Awesome," John commented as he put his phone on the table, and headed to the bathroom.

Carol was busy preparing some meat when she heard a phone ring. She looked around and saw it was coming from John's phone.

"John, it's your phone," Carol shouted.

"It must be my lawyer. Would you get it, mom? Please, tell him I'm coming in a minute," John asked from the bathroom.

Carol stared at John's phone not sure what button to push. She wasn't much aware of the new technology and the new generations of phones. She pushed some buttons when suddenly she heard some giggle coming from the loudspeaker.

"Hey there sexy! Still aren't saying anything?Mmm mmm, you want to play dirty, huh?"

Carol's mouth fell open and her eyes went wide.

"Oh, baby you have no idea how much I miss you. Do you miss me? What? Cat got your tongue, huh,? And I didn't even tell you yet what I'm wearing right now… I mean what I'm not wearing. I just got a hot tub, and I'm naked in the bed, dreaming of all the naughty things you like to do to me… some things you are sooo good at doing…."

"Oh, shit!" John's voice made Carol turn to him.

She had a perplexed expression on her face.

"Mom, uh… I can explain…"

"Mom?!" Eve exclaimed in panic on the other side of the phone.

"Eve, baby," John said as he rushed to get his phone and to switch the loud-speaker off.

He then turned to his mother and gave her an apologetic look, "I'm sorry I gotta get that. I'll be back," Smiling nervously, he came out of the room, leaving Carol staring after him.

"Sure, go, go…" Mrs. Cena mumbled, "It really sounded urgently…"

"John," Eve could hardly talk," Please, don't tell me your mom has just heard me talking this shit…" Eve was about to cry.

"Babe, where did you get that idea from?"

"I don't know… God! I didn't know it was your mom… I just …. Oh, shit! Your mother hates me already."

"C'mon , baby. My mom doesn't hate you… At least she is too shocked to say anything."

"How could I do it?" Eve was terrified.

"I think it's a great idea, actually," John admitted, "You've just chosen the wrong time."

"I have never talked dirty before… I just… don't know… I knew you would like it and…"

"Oh, baby I definitely like it," John felt a small twitch of excitement surge through his body.

Just then, his mom's face came to his mind and he sighed.

"Oh, John, I'm so sorry!"

"Don't worry, babe. I'll talk to my mom."

"I can imagine what she thinks about me…that I'm some slut who….."

"Eve, relax! It's not a big deal."

"It is a big deal, John!" Eve whimpered, "Your mom just heard me talking naughty things about you… her son! Ohh, I want to die….!

"I know, babe. It's an awkward situation, but I'll talk to my mom. Just don't worry, please. I'll call you back later."

"All right, later, John."

"Oh? And Eve?"

"Yeah?"

"I miss you too."

When John went back to the kitchen, he found his mother occupied with the dinner again.

He ran a hand through his hair, feeling a little embarrassed.

He stepped nervously towards her, "Mom?"

"Yes, John." She replied without turning her head to him.

"Can we talk?"

"About?"

"Uh… the phone call…"

"Don't you think you had to tell me you've got yourself a mistress?"

"Eve is not a mistress."

"John," Carol exclaimed as she quickly turned around, dropping the ladle she was holding onto the counter, "Did I bring you up this way?" She asked, disappointed, "I get that you and Lia are not happy, but doing this behind her back… God, it upsets me terribly to even think about it. Where is your dignity?"

"Mom, I love Eve."

"I think you make the same mistake again."

"Mom, trust me. I don't," he assured her, "I'm 35, not 18. I can see how I feel now and how I have been feeling before. My feelings to Eve are absolutely different, much stronger and real. Mom, Eve is the best thing that has ever happened to me."

"Eve, huh? You mean the one that uses all men, including Laurinatis?"

John laughed amused, "This is a storyline, mom."

"But John, those women are not for a serious commitment. And excuse me, but I still can't accept a woman to fight like a man for a living."

"Mom, listen to me. I've been married…" He tried to say, but his mother cut him off.

"And you are still married," Carol reminded him.

"Fine, I'm married to a normal girl as you like to say and see what did happen. Believe me Eve is the nicest and sweetest girl I have ever met."

"Yeah, she is sweet, indeed… I have no doubts about that. At least she is doing really sweet talking," Carol noticed with sarcasm.

John sighed, "Yes, she is sexy and beautiful, but she is much more than that. And she makes me happy. Please, mom, give her a chance."

Carol rolled her eyes.

"And what you have just heard it's…." It was really awkward to John to explain such things to his mom but all the embarrassment was worth it, "She has never done it before and now she just you know… has done it for me….I really want you both to meet and to like each other. She is absolutely different. She is not Lia, mom. Please, do it for me!"

"Fine!" Carol agreed eventually, "But I can't promise you anything. You know that I say what I see."

"I know. That's why I love you," John kissed her mom, giving her a bear hug.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Randy's back was killing him, after he had spent the night on the sofa in his father's office.

He stretched himself well before getting up. He went straight t the kitchen where he found Pam being already there.

"Randy, I was waiting for you all night long," She said upon seeing him.

"I hope you didn't think I'd share the same bed with you," His voice was cold.

"Baby, please," She whimpered.

"No, don't give me that baby please. We need to talk, but seriously."

"I agree," She nodded and then asked softly," Do you want some coffee?"

"Yes, please."

After Pam handed her husband a cup of coffee, they both took a seat at the table. She tried to touch his hand, but he immediately stopped her.

"Don't do it. I don't want to make things more complicated than they really are."

"But…." She tried to say something, but he didn't let her do it.

"There is no turning back, and I want you to know and accept it. I want divorce," He stated.

Pam's eyes filled with tears, "You can't….." Her voice hardly audible.

"We can't go on together anymore."

"I'll change… I promise."

"No, Pam… it's not only that. I've changed and I don't feel the same to you…"

"Doesn't matter. I accept it."

"Of course it does, Pam! We both know we are not happy together."

"I'm happy," She assured him.

"Really? And how exactly? You live in a real nightmare, torturing yourself where I'm , with who I'm, and you don't like my job. Don't think our quarrels don't affect Ali."

"She will suffer more if you leave us."

"I won't leave you. I'll never stop taking care of her and I'll always be in her life. You know that whenever you need I would help you. You can keep the house. I'll give you a good amount of money to have a normal life. You even could start something that would make sense in your life."

"I don't need anything. I need you."

"Pam, all between us is over. I want you to get it. And I really ask you not to use Ali thinking that this would change something. We must do anything possible to make her childhood happy.

"I knew it… I knew it…" She burst out in sobs.

"I'm sorry, Pam. Things will never be the same between us. Our marriage is a nightmare for both of us. Today I'm going to talk to my lawyer. He will prepare the divorce papers. Then I'm getting home to pick up my things , but not everything in order to not worry Ali. We have to explain her the situation carefully."

Pam couldn't stop herself from crying, but Randy continued, "Last night I told dad… we agreed not to tell my mom yet."

"I can't believe you are doing this…"

"There is no other way. You must get it. From now on any of us is going to start a new life…."
