Chapter 61

Summerslam week was crazy, as always, almost as bad as WrestleMania.

Countless media appearances, interviews and signings took up a lot of time from the Superstars – men and women, respectively. Even though there were no house shows scheduled, the Superstars were still busy as ever and everyone couldn't wait to be done with Summerslam week. The only GOOD thing about being as busy as they were was Summerslam approached rapidly and time seemed to fly by.

Jecina barely saw Jon throughout the media days, keeping herself locked in the hotel room for fear of running into Dean. She wouldn't be able to hide once Summerslam arrived, but since the company didn't need her, she vegged out with snacks and movies. Jon told her to get whatever she wanted and just have it charged to the room. Since the brands were combined for this event, nobody thought it weird for Jon to be there, though it was without the United States title. Jecina was sad to find out, after countless hours of lovemaking, he had to drop it in order to become Smackdown! Live's newest World Heavyweight champion. Jon didn't seem to mind, looking forward to tearing it away from his brother that had made their lives miserable.

It would be his ultimate payback.

Lilianna and Gabriella had stopped by to check on her, make sure she was doing all right and they squealed at the ring back on her finger. She told them she would be marrying Jon right after Summerslam. They had already gone to the courthouse in Colorado to apply for their marriage certificate and, as soon as it came in, they would be married instantly. Going to the courthouse just seemed the way to go instead of having a drawn out wedding. Lilianna did not blame her, hugging her tightly and demanded to there as a witness. Jecina would never leave her girls out and Jon had already asked both Seth and Baron to stand up for him as witnesses too. Now it was just a matter of finding a dress, which Jecina already had during her days stuck in the hotel.

They were in Brooklyn, New York until Sunday, then would travel to Uncasville, Connecticut for Smackdown! Live. There was no house show on Monday, but Jon had countless media appearances and photoshoots planned that day since he was becoming a new champion. Jecina honestly couldn't wait until they were back home in Colorado, which would be Wednesday. However, being in New York had perks because they had some incredible dress shops to choose from. She wanted something different for their courthouse wedding. Hell, people went in jeans and sweaters, but Jecina wanted to make Jon's eyes fall out of his head at the sight of her.

Once she found what she was looking for, along with some jewelry, Jecina had gotten her hair done, only getting it trimmed. Jon loved it long and, even though it was a pain to take care of, she had grown attached to it. After making sure it didn't go above the middle of her back, with some natural layers in it, Jecina made her way back to the hotel to prepare for Summerslam that night. She had been to a couple dress shops and finally found the one she wanted to marry Jon in. It was sexy and conservative, the perfect balance. It didn't break the bank either, which she was also happy about. Walking into the hotel, Jecina received a text message from Jon letting her know he'd meet her at the Barclays Center.

"Poor guy is gonna be exhausted." She murmured with a smile, sending him back a heart emoji in response and set her phone down to dress for the event.

Since Jon was winning his first world title tonight, Jecina wanted to look nice for the celebration that was undoubtedly happen afterwards. Normally, she stuck with dress pants and a blouse with flats, but tonight…tonight was a special occasion. Along with her wedding dress, Jecina had found the perfect one to wear at Summerslam. It was a sleeveless, wraparound emerald green dress that rested just above the knee in a V shape. It had somewhat of a plunging neckline, but still left plenty to the imagination and had a gold clip to keep the dress in place. Without it, it would be an open robe of sorts. After fastening the clip securely, Jecina slipped her two inch open-toed tan heels on, strapping them around her ankle. Then, she fluffed her freshly cut and layered hair to drape over her shoulders and down her back in gentle waves. Silver hoop earrings adorned her ears and could only be seen with her hair tucked behind her ears and her beautiful emerald engagement ring sparkled on her left hand. Her makeup was black liner, foundation and gloss, keeping everything simple. Once she was satisfied with her appearance, Jecina made her way out the door with purse in hand, everything she needed already inside of it.

It was time to go watch her man destroy her rapist and claim what he'd worked for since age 16.

"Holy shit, Jeci! You look magnificent!" Lilianna crowed as soon as she spotted her well-rested, beaming best friend walk into the Barclays Center, a 1000-watt smile on her face. "Wow! Did you get a makeover or something?"

"Just a trim and some natural layers." Jecina shrugged, not thinking it was a big deal and knew a few heads would turn at her choice in outfit for the evening.

"Girl, you're asking for trouble in that dress." Lilianna giggled, already in her wrestling gear and hugged her tightly, having missed her tons. "So, are you ready for tonight?"

Jecina nodded with no hesitation, walking slowly down the hallway with Lilianna's arm looped through hers. "I can't wait to see the look on his face when it happens." It would be the perfect revenge for what Dean did to her. "Are you walking out with Seth tonight or going solo?"

"Solo. I have a Women's title match against Charlotte." Lilianna had been feuding with Charlotte ever since the draft happened and tonight, she was about teach Miss Flair a lesson she'd never forget.

"Oh my god, that's right! I'm so sorry, I forgot about that. Hell, I don't even know half the matches that are gonna be on the card." Jecina admitted, giggling at Lilianna's playful scoff and hip bump against her. "I'm sorry, I'll try to keep up better with you, okay?"

"Uh huh, sure you will. Gabi is in the tag match tonight and she seriously wants to knock Carmella's head off her shoulders."

Nikki Bella would be returning to team alongside Gabriella and Alexa Bliss, which she was looking forward to. They were also good friends with the Bella's in general, more Brie than Nikki though. Lilianna had already talked to them before going to prepare for her match against Charlotte, more than ready to hold the gold again.

"I can just imagine."

They talked a little while longer before parting ways. Jecina walked into catering and began cooking, working her magic for Summerslam. It would be a few hours before the show actually began, so she had time to whip up something quick with a few sides and desserts. She was so deep in thought about everything coming up, she didn't notice someone walk into the kitchen until she felt a pair of lips on her neck. A flashback of the night with Ambrose filtered through her mind and Jecina reacted on instinct, swinging back to nail whoever it was almost in the face. Jon had caught her arm with wide eyes and Jecina immediately swallowed hard, breathing erratically since he'd scared her.

"Shit, I won't be doing that again. Don't need my head knocked off my shoulders." Jon grumbled, knowing that had been a bad move on his part because of what happened to her. Dean would not be walking out of the Barclays Center tonight. "Are you okay, precious?"

"Y-Yeah…I'm sorry. I didn't mean…" He pressed a finger to her lips, silencing her and she heaved a sigh.

"I get it. Just figured I'd come see how my woman was doing before I go kick Dean's teeth down his throat." Jon finally took a good look at her and what she wore, letting out a very low whistle. "Wow, you look…beautiful is not the word. I don't know what the word is, but holy shit." She giggled at his compliment and pulled her into his arms, knowing it was safe now. "I mean it, Jina. I've never seen you look so fuckable as you do right now."

"I do believe you've said that a time or two already." Jecina remarked in a cheeky tone, feeling his fingers slide through her hair. "I wanted to look nice for you tonight. It's a big night for you."

"Yeah it is." Jon agreed, unable to deny that, but he never felt more calm and at peace than he did when it came to a title match. "And I'm gonna enjoy removing that dress from your beautiful body later and fucking you senseless. For now, kissing my woman breathless and making her wet for me will have to do."

After a few minutes of kissing, Jecina had to pull away to regain oxygen in her lungs and knew her lips were swollen, reaching up to wipe some of her gloss from his own. "Just wait until you see what I'm wearing for our wedding then. This is NOTHING compared to that." Her emerald eyes glittered up at him and Jon groaned, kissing her again harder and deeper, backing her up against the counter.

"Tease." He growled accusingly, reaching down to squeeze her backside and moved his lips from hers to her neck. "I'm gonna eat you alive tonight, precious…"

"I'm hoping you do." It took a lot of resolve on her part, but Jecina had to push him away before she let him claim her in the kitchen. "Now get out of here and stop distracting me. Go win your title, kick his teeth down his throat and then you can fuck me all night long."

Jon chuckled, smacking her backside for good measure and reluctantly stepped back. "Fine – fine, bossy woman." His own eyes twinkled mischievously. "I love you. And this win tonight is for you."

Her heart leaped in her throat when he said that, tears stinging her eyes as Jecina watched him leave the kitchen, reaching up to touch her lips with her fingertips. "I love you too, Moxley."

It was a long time coming, a redemption as Lilianna held the Raw Women's championship in the air, after a physical bout with Charlotte Flair. Even with her sidekick, Dana, at ringside, Lilianna managed to dethrone the 'Queen'. Now she was the new Queen and smirked, leaning on the ropes blowing kisses at the crowd. Wrapped around her left ring finger was a small band, a symbol of her secret engagement to Seth. They hadn't come out to tell anyone yet and didn't want to take the focus off Jecina and Jon's upcoming nuptials. Winking into the camera, Lilianna finally rolled out of the ring and sauntered up the ramp, turning to wave three fingers at Charlotte, who was crying in the ring. The moment she was behind the curtain, Seth was waiting for her and took her into his arms, passionately kissing her.

"I love you and I'm so damn proud of you, Lila."

It felt like everything was finally right in her life as Lilianna hugged him tightly around the neck. "Thank you, I love you too." She couldn't wait to watch him win the Raw Universal championship tonight and would be at ringside for it.

When the time came for the 'beatdown', Jon was ready for it. He had a kendo stick ready, a symbolic weapon of choice and proceeded to destroy Dolph with it. Dean was already in the ring, staring at the screen wide-eyed with a dropped jaw, watching his opponent be decimated with that kendo stick. His back still hurt and suffered the after-effects of that brutal beating he'd taken at the hands of his twin in their Asylum match back in May. When Jon Moxley turned toward the camera, his eyes were gleaming and a sick, twisted smirk curved his lips, brushing some of his hair away from his eyes.

"You and I have unfinished business, Ambrose. And tonight, we settle it for good. See you in a minute, BROTHER."

The camera went black and Dean began screaming at the official, who looked just as confused as he was. Nothing more than an act. Shane and Stephanie picked a specific referee for this match and trusted none other than veteran Mike Chioda. They hadn't told him the details, only that he was to act shocked by what happened in the ring when the 'beatdown' of Dolph Ziggler took place. The fans were murmuring and buzzing throughout the arena, wondering what the hell was going on. Suddenly, Jon's music hit and he came stalking down the ramp with a determined look on his calm face. His eyes told a COMPLETELY different story, however.

Jecina watched with bated breath, clasping her hands tightly together and said a silent prayer up to whoever would listen. Dean looked ready to piss himself, which was a moment she relished in. Just the look on his face was priceless; he had NO idea his opponent for Summerslam would actually be his twin brother and former tag partner. Jon ate the crowd up, letting them feed out of the palm of his hands and beckoned his twin into the ring to fight, tossing the kendo stick aside. Dean hesitantly slipped through the ropes and Jon was on him, beating him with his balled up fists and kicking him. Jecina couldn't remember ever seeing Jon THIS aggressive in a match, not even during the Asylum one back at Extreme Rules.

20 minutes later, Jon finally delivered a second Hook & Ladder to Dean and rolled him over for the inevitable victory. The fans exploded in cheers because they all realized Jon Moxley was going to Smackdown! Live now. He held the title up above his head, stumbling a little with his body covered in sweat and dropped to his twin's side, his mouth right by his ear.

"Enjoy Raw…and if you ever come near my Jecina again, I'll murder you and bury you MYSELF."

Lifting his brother up, Jon positioned a steel chair in the middle of the ring, one Dean had brought into the match to try cheating with earlier and delivered ANOTHER Hook & Ladder to it. He still wasn't done and did it three more times before officials had to spill from the back to stop him. Dean was busted wide open, blood beginning to pool in the ring from the graphic beating.

The message was loud and clear: NOBODY raped his woman and got away with it – NOBODY.

Jecina had watched the match from gorilla position, after she knew Dean was in the ring and immediately jumped into Jon's arms, kissing him breathlessly. He held onto her, the title over his shoulder and broke the kiss while holding her against him with ease. She weighed lighter than a feather, at least to him and he did not mind having his woman wrapped around him like this. It was the perfect way to congratulate him, though he'd get his reward later on at the hotel when they were alone.

"I love you so much, Moxley." Jecina whispered, resting her forehead against his and felt vindicated after watching Dean bleed buckets.

"Mmm right back at you, precious. Come on, let's get me cleaned up, drop some food off at the local shelter and then it's time to celebrate." Jon had never once forgotten what she did for people less fortunate than them and it made him realize just how lucky he was to have a woman like her with a heart of gold.

The second to the last match, the first main event in his eyes, Seth Rollins finally climbed the mountain again and captured the Raw Universal championship, beating Finn Balor. Lilianna shrieked, ecstatic for her man and jumped in the ring, laughing as Seth caught her to spin her around. He held her close again, much like earlier at gorilla position, and they kissed in front of millions, neither caring who found out about their relationship anymore as far as fans went.

Roman watched from the back and immediately shut the monitor off, not believing he'd lost the love of his life to his fellow Shield brother.

All in all, it was a memorable evening and an outstanding pay-per-view.
