Chapter 9

The Stalker had maged to pick up a win earlier in the night typing up the little feud he had been in lately. He settled in to watch the world title match that was just about to start. "No chance Reed wins," Aries said to to his buddy Kenny King. The Stalker laughed Aries was still mad he didn't get another title shot. Well to bad Austin at least you were in the title picture. But this would be the start of him finally getting to the next level and it would be great to make Madison pay.

"Look I'm sorry but it's over," Madison says to him. "You really calling it off?" He asks her. "I'm not calling anything off we had a few dates. No one even knows we are seeing each other," Madison says.
