(DISCONTINUED) Heart Ablaze (Scarlett Bordeaux X OC)

Chapter 5: Light the Dark Match... (L)

Authors Note

Okay, before we start, I have an announcement.

I feel like a lot of people were waiting for this, so here it is. Me announcing what book is next.

For those who don't know, I deleted my voting book in the middle of a vote, between Gigi Dolin, Brandi Rhodes, Alexa Bliss and Rhea Ripley/Tegan Nox. The vote was going well, but due to stress, I deleted it. The full explanation is on the Conversations tab on my profile, check it out if you want the full story.

But here is where we announce the new book.

Honestly, I was more than happy to write any one of these books, with three of them being uncommon on this site, and all of them being books I'm obsessed with. So, which one wins?

Well, I had to get the help of a very close friend of mine to pick, that being @UndisputedFan who does my covers as well. We talked about it for a while, and he helped me pick which book to write next.

So, without any further ado, allow me to introduce...the Fourth Book added to my rotation, which will be uploaded NEXT.....the book I am the CLOSEST to out of any book I have ever thought of........................................................................................

Save Me (Alexa Bliss X OC)

Now, onto the chapter. See you soon.

~ADRIAN'S POV~

Becky's deal had been plaguing my mind ever since that squash match. The offer of 'Fuck me, you get a push' was obviously more than a little tempting.

Half of me was saying to take it, being angry over how I was being treated in the company, and still wanting to provide the change I dreamed of. However, the other half was saying not to take it, due to this lasting feeling of something being wrong with the deal, like it was a lie or something.

I was thinking about it as I pulled into RAW again. I knew I was booked for a match, but that was it. I didn't know if it was going to be televised, was important, or even who it was against, all I knew was that it was a match.

As I parked, I was weighing up both sides of the deal, both thoughts I was having. I don't need to tell you again, but needless to say, the scales were completely even, and I was still unsure which way to lean.

I turned the car off and stuffed the keys in my pocket as I looked up and saw Becky and Seth talking at the doors from the backstage area to the parking lot. It seemed like a casual conversation, just a husband and wife chatting, but...again...I was just a bit uneasy about it.

I got out of the car, staring at them, just in case they did something that caught my eye. And lo and behold, they did.

Becky looked over curiously as she spoke to her husband, and as soon as she saw me, an almost wicked smirk crawled across her face, like a plan was definitely in place.

She then gestured to me with her head and said something to Seth, who also looked over with a smile. I honestly felt like the two of them were actually 90's cartoon villains coming up with a devious ploy to trap me.

Then Seth started jogging towards me. As soon as I saw him move, I stepped back, almost ready to go the other way. But, I didn't want to let them know I was onto them, in case they actually were forming a plan against me.

"Hey man! How you doin'?" He asked me, still smiling widely at me. I was still unsure of him, if anything more so than before now, but I needed to play nice.

"I'm...good? How you doing?" I asked him, shaking my head a bit like I was confused with the question. He shrugged a bit and looked over at Becky behind him, still at the entrance.
