I could not believe it, my honeymoon was finally here. The next few weeks were going to be me and John uninterrupted. No articles to write. No main events to wrestler in, just us traveling through Europe. Immediately after the fireworks at the reception we changed, said our goodbyes and headed to the airport to catch our flight to Paris. The city of love. As we checked into the hotel John was recognized almost instantly by a fan. He signed an autograph and took a picture. We were led to a private elevator that took us directly to the penthouse suite. It had a great view of the Eiffel Tower.
"I'm so happy." I said wrapping myself in John's arms.
"I have to be the luckiest man on earth. I just married my best friend and the most beautiful woman on the planet." John said while kissing me on my neck.
"I love you" I said finding myself melting under his kisses.
We were planning to be there for a few days. The first day we didn't even come out of the hotel room and just ordered room service so we could get to know each other better as husband and wife, of course. On the second day we finally left the room to walk around Paris. It was magic. We ate at a café and walked around taking in the sights. We also did what every tourist does which was taking pictures in front of famous landmarks in Paris. We had to cut our sightseeing short because we ran into a few wrestling fans. John took pictures and signed autographs. But after twenty minutes we decided to head back to the hotel to have a private dinner in the restaurant. I changed into a shimmery sexy black dress and John wore a charcoal grey suit. After dinner we decided to walk to the Eiffel Tower for the famous light show. It was starting to get crowded but I was determined to see this show. I was kicking myself for not changing into a pair of flats before going. I knew my feet would be killing me later. There was a cart to the side of the open area in front of the Tower selling ice cream on a stick in the shape of the tower.
"Mrs. Cena would you like an ice cream as dessert?" John said nibbling on my ear.
"If you're having one, Mr. Cena" I said giving John a kiss.
I stood there amazed at how gorgeous the light show was. Then I was wrapped in a pair of strong arms. I leaned back into them but something felt different, something felt off about the arms holding me.
"John?" I questioned
"Is that the only name you know?"
I knew exactly who it was by the voice.
"What are you doing here?" I said trying my best to stay calm.
I knew my eyes must have looked crazed while I scanned the crowd trying to find John. I didn't see him. My eyes started to sting with the first sign of tears. Michael turned me around to face him.
"No no, don't cry Athena." He said with concern in his voice.
He tried to wipe away the tears that escaped but I flinched back from his touch. I could tell by the look on his face that was not the reaction he expected or wanted. But his face quickly softened.
"I love you. It hurts me to see you cry."
"Why are you doing this. If you love me so much you would let me be happy and stop this." I said pleading. Hoping he would change his mind about whatever he had planned.
It was getting harder and harder for me to keep myself calm. Not being able to see John was making it worse.
"Where's John? Is he okay?" I asked
"The ice cream cart he went to magically had no ice cream left so he was redirected the other side of the Tower. But it really doesn't matter, by the time he gets back we'll be gone. I have a car waiting for us." Michael said point towards the street.
I had to make sure I never make it into that car. I closed my eyes and started to take deep breath to help calm myself quickly.
"That's good your calming down. This is how thing are suppose to be between us. I have to say you looked amazing in your wedding dress. Even though you married the wrong man. But I forgive you. We can have that marriage annulled and we can get married the way we planned before." Michael said burying his nose in my hair.
I felt complete shock at what I was hearing. I mean I should have expected this after everything that has already happened with Michael.
"I couldn't help it. I had one of the people that worked at the party send me pictures of you."
While Michael was talking I was trying to gradually lift my feet from my shoes so I could make a run for it when the opportunity presented itself. I knew if I screamed no one would hear because of everyone talking and laughing while watching the light show. I took a deep breath and decided to take a different approach with Michael.
"Maybe you're right. Maybe I made a mistake. You obviously do love me."
"That's my girl. You're starting to sound like the old you."
"Ouch!" I said with a pained look.
"What's wrong?"
"These shoes. John made me wear them. They've have been hurting my feet all night." This was a lie John suggested I wear a pair of comfortable shoes.
"Take them off."
Here was my chance. Once I got the shoes off I would make a run for it. I held onto Michael's arm and started to take off my shoes when I heard a child scream.
"Daddy, daddy, look. It's John Cena! You can't see me!" The little boy said waving his hand in front of his face saying John's signatures in ring phrase.
I looked up with tears in my eyes as I caught sight of John. I knew he saw the look on my face because his eyes seemed to get darker and his mouth was set in a hard line. As John was pushing his way through the crowd he was loosening up his tie. I knew by that look, John was going to try to kill Michael. If I wasn't so emotional I may have felt sorry for Michael.
John grabbed me from Michael and stood between the two of us. He gave Michael a hard right hook to the jaw. I thought that should have taken him out but it didn't. Michael countered with his on hit to the face. I saw blood trickling down the side of John's lip. John grabbed Michael by the neck and took him down to the ground. The two of them were rolling around trying to get the best of each other. I could faintly hear people in the background yelling. John was now on top of Michael repeatedly punching him. In the distance I could hear the sirens from police cars. There was a rage in John I had never seen before. His fist were covered in blood. Michael nose and lip were bleeding. He also had a cut above his eye.
"John stop, STOP! You're gonna kill him. He's not worth it." I yelled trying to stop him.
Two officers rushed over towards John and Michael to pull them apart.
They were speaking in French so I didn't understand them. I guess they realized we were not French so they began speaking in English with a thick French accent.
"What is going on here?" Officer one asked.
"This psycho was trying to hurt my wife." John said being held back by the other officer.
"You're going to have to calm down. I know who you are and I'm a fan of yours but I will put the handcuffs on you if I have to." Officer number two said.
I stood in front of John placed my hand over his heart and looked into his eyes. John started to calm down. I stood back a little to show him I was okay physically. He pulled me into his arms and held me tight and buried his face in my hair.
"John loosen up so I can look at you." I said putting my hands on his cheeks examining his face.
"I'm fine. Are you okay?" He asked
"I'm always fine by your side." I said looking into his eyes. Then I couldn't hold it in any longer. The tears came pouring down my cheeks. And I found myself squeezing him as tightly as I could.
"Ouch. My side. I think my ribs may be bruised." John winced
The police were helping Michael to his feet when I decided it was time I put an end to this once and for all. I pulled away from John and walked over to Michael. John reluctantly let me go.
"What is your problem?! Understand me! I don't love you anymore! After the way you hurt me I never could again. And that was long before John entered the picture. Leave me and my husband the hell alone. If not you'll have to worry about me trying to hurt you."
"You don't mean that." Michael said hurt
"Oh I do. You know there are things I know about you and your company. Things you wouldn't want getting out. Things that can ruin you and your businesses."
"But... I...I " Michael stuttered
"You don't think I'm serious, do you? Remember that Secretary I caught you cheating on me with. After you fired her and tossed her to the side she sent me some information about some of your business deals hoping I would use the information against you. And if you think I'm joking just keep in mind I know about the Bangkok account and how you really got it away from Hong Global."
Michael stood there dumbfounded by the information I just told him. But I didn't care. I just wanted him out of my life once and for all.
"Now let me ask you. Will I see you again?" I said staring at him as if he was my worst enemy. At this point that was exactly what he had become. My enemy.
"No. You won't see me again. And that's not because of the information you have about my company but because I really do love you."
"Does anyone want to press charges?" The first officer asked
John and Michael stared at each other then John looked over at me. I mouthed the words "Babe, let's go." I could tell it killed him to do so. But getting the police involved would also be a hassle. And we would also have to contact WWE headquarters about the matter.
"I think it was just a misunderstanding and miscommunication officer." Michael said looking directly at me.
He was hurting but I didn't care. This needed to be over. I looked away from Michael and walked back to John's side.
"Yes officer nothing more than a misunderstanding that won't happen again." John said looking directly at Michael. "I apologize for the disturbance." John added with a smile.
"I will be leaving now." Michael said staring into my eyes. It started to look like his eyes were getting teary. Then he snapped out of it. "Thank you officers." Michael took one last look at me mouth the words "I'm sorry, I do love you." He left and headed to his waiting car.
"Let's go back to the hotel so I can really look at you and see if your okay."
The police gave us a ride back to the hotel. A doctor was called to our room to look at John. He determined John most likely bruised his ribs but it wasn't serious. After the doctor left I ran myself and John a hot bath to help us both relax and wash away the day or at least that evening.
"I was so scared when I saw your face and that animal with his hands on you."
There was nothing I could really say. I just laid my head back on his chest and breathed in the scent of the candles around the tub. Thankful that he showed up when he did. He was and is my hero.
After that night I never saw or heard from Michael again. Every once in a while I would see an article about his company but never heard anything about him which made me happy. After our honeymoon John was back on the road full time and I became the head editor of WWE magazine and the website. I traveled on the road with John for about a year until we got the news that we were expecting. Not just one baby but we were going to be having twins. A boy and a girl. It turns out I was going to have a high risk pregnancy which was the reason I stopped traveling with John on the road. At this point John was the face of the WWE and the love of my life. Once the twins grew up some we were able to go back on the road with John full time. Life was perfect for me. It was a struggle to get here. But we were here. This is my life with John Cena.
