Chapter 18

After the show, Dean went straight to the production area. He was sweating profusely and his muscles were aching. Instead of getting some rest, he decided to look for Emilia - his angel, the love of his life, his everything. He wanted to make sure that she really was there and he wasn't imagining things like he used to.

"Emilia! Emilia, where are you?"

Dean shouted frantically. As he walked, he looked in every direction. He pushed people and things that were in the way, making a mess. When he got to the production area, he saw something that added insult to his injury.

Emilia was making out with Seth Rollins, his former Shield brother and best friend, now Mr. Money in the Bank and The Authority's precious pet.

Dean's hands formed into fists and he rushed towards them.

Seconds ago, Emilia was kissing Seth but now she was sobbing while screaming at Dean to stop punching and kicking Seth. She was crying because she couldn't stand the sight of the two of them hurting each other and knowing that she's the reason it was happening only made her feel worse. The security guards who were standing nearby broke the two up. Both men were bleeding and cussing at each other. The Authority, along with Kane and Randy Orton, arrived a few minutes later.

"What just happened?"

Stephanie asked, looking and sounding so surprised, even though she knew what just happened. It's a part of her and her husband's plan to distract Dean, a plan Emilia had agreed to being a part of but secretly doesn't approve of.

"Dean - Mr. Ambrose attacked Seth."

Emilia explained. Dean spit out the blood in his mouth. A tingle tickled his spine when he heard Emilia say his name.

"Get him out of here, now!"

Triple H ordered the security guards. They followed his command and dragged Dean away forcefully. Dean put up a fight, but it wasn't enough - there were too many people taking him away.

When Dean was gone, Emilia exhaled. Seth, thinking that she must be feeling uncomfortable, put an arm around her shoulder.

"Miss Morris, make sure to ask a medic to take care of Mr. Rollins' wounds. We don't want him looking like... this."

Stephanie used her right hand to point out the cuts and bruises on Seth's face and body. She tsked as she did so. His left eye was slightly closed and was swelling while his bottom lip was bleeding. Triple H was shaking his head out of disapproval, while the two men with them kept their faces blank.

"I will, Ma'am."

Emilia answered with a nod. The Authority walked away, leaving Emilia and Seth by themselves in the production area. Emilia looked to her side and found Seth wiping the blood off his bottom lip with his fingers.

"I knew this would happen. I'm so sorry."

She apologized to him as she wiped the tears off her cheeks with her hands.

"I did too, including The Authority. It's not your fault."

He assured her with a smirk. Emilia smirked back and quickly looked down because the blood trickling down his chin wasn't something she wanted to look at for long.

"Let's get you some medical assistance."

Emilia told Seth. Seth nodded and they started walking. They took their time with walking down the hall. Seth still had his right arm around her shoulder while she had her left arm around his waist, supporting some of his weight. He was carrying the gold Money in the Bank briefcase in his left hand while his right rubbed Emilia's shoulder to soothe her. Every step he took hurt and he was reminded of who had beaten him up - Dean. He thought he deserved it.

Seth and Emilia made it to the men's locker room minutes later. When they were in, a medic approached them and asked Seth to sit on a folding steel chair. Emilia took the gold briefcase from him and held it for him. She watched the medic clean up his wounds. As she stared at Seth, she was overwhelmed by various emotions. She had put him through a lot and he wasn't complaining. Suddenly, she felt a tear slipping out of the corner of her right eye. Seth saw her wiping it off with her knuckles.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Seth asked, bending to the side so he could see Emilia. Emilia sniffed and nodded with a smirk.

"Yeah, I am. Don't worry."

Seth nodded and hissed when the cotton pad touched his bottom lip. Emilia flinched at the sight.

She was with Seth, but she was thinking of Dean.

Is he okay? How is he? She thought to herself.

Emilia grabbed the cross pendant of her silver necklace and started praying in her head for everything to be okay and for Seth and Dean to be the same.

"Fuck!"

Dean swore as he swatted away Renee's hand from his face. Renee stepped away from him and tossed the bloodstained tissue into the trash bin. She took a band aid from the nightstand and put it on a cut she just cleaned.

"There. All done."

Dean got up from the bed and started pacing back and forth. Renee walked towards the mirror that was hanging on the wall a few feet away from the bed and removed her dangling earrings. On the mirror, she watched Dean murmuring to himself. She couldn't understand what he was saying and but he was livid. She wanted to leave him alone, but she was concerned and she cared about him too much to ignore him.

"Is everything okay?"

Renee asked Dean, placing both of her earrings in a decorative bowl on top of the dresser that was placed under the mirror. Dean stopped walking to stare at her. He shook his head.

"Nope. Emilia's back and she's with that scumbag Seth."

Renee's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. She turned around and faced Dean.

"Really? I-I don't know what to say."

Dean walked towards Renee, his blue eyes locked on her. Renee took a step back but Dean caught up with her in a matter of seconds. When there was no space left between their bodies, he took her by the hair and gently pulled her head back, exposing her neck to him. He planted a kiss on her throat and slowly dragged his lips upward. Renee nibbled on her bottom lip as he did it. When his lips reached hers, he placed a peck on it.

"The only thing you have to say is my name, over and over again."

Renee moaned and grabbed Dean's face to kiss him. Dean kissed Renee back, his hands lost in her soft blonde hair. Together, they moved towards the bed. Dean took control of Renee. He pushed her down to the bed and got on top of her. His hands were touching every part of her body now, while she was fumbling with his belt buckle.

They were physically close, but emotionally, not quite. Renee felt something for Dean, but Dean saw her simply as a substitute for Emilia.

Renee loved Dean, but Dean loved Emilia. He was simply using her for sex, but she didn't have a problem with it. Maybe she was out of her mind like Dean was.
