Kayla's POV

JA: Hey!! What are you doing?

Me: Nothing, just at the office.

JA: Wanna come over?

Me: You know I can't.

JA: After work instead of going home or to his house just come to mine.

Me: Joe I can't. I'll see you at work.

JA: You know that won't happen. You're always up under Paul's ass.

Me: I kinda have to be, I work for him. Duh! Lol

JA: You're his girlfriend. You are not his assistant. That's just what y'all say. You barely do any work, all you do is follow him around. When the show starts, while he's working, just slip away for a little bit.

Me: I'm sorry Joe, I can't.

JA: Are you scared of him or something?

Me: No.

JA: Am I still in your phone as "JA"?

Me: Joe, I'm not even supposed to be talking to you. If he finds out he's gonna kill me. I told you he doesn't want me talking to anyone, or you guys talking to me. You don't understand, I don't want to be disrespectful to him. You don't know what he's done for me. He helps me. I just don't want to piss him off.

JA: Was he giving you all of this "help" before or after he divorced Stephanie?

Me: This conversation is over. Don't text me again.

JA: I didn't mean it like that K. I'm sorry.

Me: Your career WILL end if you text me again Joe.

I send the text message and wait for a minute before I delete the thread. Putting my phone down, I take a sigh of relief.

"He didn't respond back." I say to myself, "Good."

Joe is literally one text message away from ending his career and probably ending my life. Paul checks my phone every day, to make sure I'm not doing anything I'm not supposed to be doing. I hate it but I get why he does it. I guess.

I know what you're thinking, "Isn't Triple H married to Stephanie?" Well, the answer to that question is, no. They've been divorced for about a year now. Paul filed for divorce saying they had irreconcilable differences but Paul and I talk, like we really talk and he told me the real reason was because she made him feel like he was less of a man because she made more money than he did. She would belittle him all the time and he basically hated her. He said the only reason he stayed in the marriage for as long as he did was because he was scared Vince was going to cut him out of the business and take everything from him. But since then, he's created NXT, he's secured his position and future with the company and as soon as he felt that it was the right time, he filed for divorce.

Paul and I got together almost a year ago. Yes, we knew each other before they got divorced but we only started dating three months after the divorce was finalized. There might've been a very little bit of an overlapping and we might've had dinners every now and then but Paul told me to just say it was business and it didn't become a personal relationship until three months later, which is actually mostly true.

I work under Paul as his personal and business assistant, I'm also an a/v tech for the company. But focusing on the assistant part, we go everywhere together and spend almost every second together. Which is how we got so close. When we met, I was just a student at Full Sail University. I was perusing my masters in film, when I met him on set of the NXT show. I was one of 5 students that was helping out for the week with the show to get hands on training. Nothing out of the ordinary for a Full Sail film student, we did this every week.

How we met was, I was watching the monitors during a show, when something went wrong and he ran over and snatched my headphones off of my head to hear the audio. After everything was said and done and the show was over, he came back over to apologize. My first impression was, damn he's scary and huge and my second was, I loved his beard. I said it was okay and told him if he needed anything to let me know. I didn't think he actually would need anything but I thought it was nice to say. The following week, I wasn't scheduled to be there but he requested me to be on set for the day. He basically took me under his wing and showed me a lot production wise. About 3 weeks later, he told me needed a little bit of extra help and he asked me if I wanted to be his assistant for a while. I agreed and here we are.

Our work relationship was just that, work. Everything was professional at first. It wasn't until six months after we met, that he made a pass at me. He would say little things every now and then, things that were a little unprofessional but I didn't take them too seriously. He would say things like I was cute, or adorable and he gave me the nick name Princess, nothing too crazy, until one day he just flat out told me how beautiful I was and that he would love to take me out to dinner.

Paul was 48 and I was 25. What the fuck do we have in common right? I wanted to know that as well and that's why I went. We had a great time that night. We went out and he took me home and that was it. After that, we ended up having dinner together, twice a week from then on.

We had conversations about everything. He confided in me about things within his marriage that you wouldn't even guess was going on. I know a lot about the things that was going on with them, I know a lot of things about Stephanie that she would kill him for if she knew I knew. I knew everything. I don't know why he confided in me so much and felt that he could talk to me and open up to me but I liked it and I was there for him.

He also knew a lot about what was going on in my life and believe me, I had a lot going on at the time. I've had my share of drama that Paul has helped me out with. From family, to school. A few months after we started basically dating, he offered to buy me a condo. Back then, I was basically a struggling student and when I started working for him, of course he would pay me but sometimes it wasn't enough. I had family issues going on when I fell on hard times and he bought me the condo, so I wouldn't have to worry about rent and I could focus on school and working for him. I shouldn't have accepted that either because things starting getting weird but we'll get to that in a minute.

Fast forward to three months later, he popped up over my house, unannounced, in the middle of the night, drunk. He had a key because well, the condo is his. I figured he was having a tough time because of the things that was going on in his marriage and he needed a place to stay for the night. I took care of him, I got him settled on the couch and got him a blanket and that was that. But this started happening like three times a week, until eventually, he just started sleeping over my house and after a couple months of this, we started having sex. This was two weeks before his divorce was finalized.

After his divorce was finalized, we got together three months later. He promoted me to a a/v tech and everything seemed to be going well. At first, everything was all good between us but then, he started getting very controlling and wanted to know where I was at all times, if I wasn't with him. If we had a NXT taping, I would have to go directly to and from with him. If we had to be at Raw, while I was there, I couldn't speak to any of the talent, especially Stephanie. He didn't want me to have anything to do with her, which is understandable.

Everyone knew I worked directly with Paul, they knew I was basically his eyes and ears when he wasn't around. There wasn't a lot of people who knew we were together. It wasn't a secret but we weren't going around volunteering the information. When we were at work, we were professional and the people who speculated about us, would never ask because he was their boss and it was unprofessional to do so and it really wasn't their business to know anyway.

One day, while at Raw, Roman Reigns struck up a conversation with me. We were in catering, I was in line in front of him and he started talking about how good the tilapia was. Out of respect for Paul, I just smiled and nodded my head but he kept talking to me. This went on for weeks, until I had to finally tell him to stop talking to me. I didn't do it in a mean way, I just simply told my him, my boss didn't want me fraternizing with the superstars. He knew who I was talking about so he just said okay and I thought that would've been the end of it but of course, the following week, he struck up another conversation. He said that only made him want to talk to me more.

One night, Paul was out of town with the NXT crew and for whatever reason, I was with the Raw crew. I ran into Joe while checking in our hotel. We had a brief conversation, in the lobby and we went up to our rooms for the night. That was it. Later on that night, I had just got off the phone with Paul and I was about to get into the shower before I went to bed, when my hotel room phone rang and it was Joe. He wanted to have a quick bite to eat and a drink downstairs at the hotel bar. I thought it was harmless, so I went. Big mistake because Joe and I hit it off, very well. We talked until three in the morning. It was honestly one of the best nights I had in a while. He asked me about Paul and I told him, we're together. He didn't see anything wrong with hanging out with me because that's all we were doing, just hanging out. He said he would keep my business to himself and he wouldn't tell anyone.

After that night, Joe and I texted all the time. He would call and check on me when Paul and I weren't traveling together. He just wanted to make sure I got to my room and everything safely. Joe is such a sweetheart. I really liked that quality in him, it made me want to know more about him.

Joe and I was becoming really good friends. We started texting almost every day. Yeah, we eventually started flirting but it was innocent. He knew he couldn't act on anything with me because I'm his bosses girlfriend, but where the problem came in at is, Paul didn't know anything about this friendship I had with Joe, and I knew if he found out about it that he would try to shut it down. No, let me rephrase that, he would shut it down.

So that's where we're at right now, I have this great secret relationship with Joe and I cannot tell anyone, or Paul because he will flip his shit. He will probably fire both of us, and he would kill me. But I've been giving you basically the rundown of how my life has been the last two years. So let's get to the bad parts, I've said a few times that Paul would kill me if I step out of line in anyway and I'm dead ass serious about that. Paul gets extremely pissed when I don't do what he tells me to do. He doesn't like me talking to people he doesn't approve of. There are only certain times I can talk on the phone. He wants to know where I am at all times, when he's not around. Paul is very clever with his words and he knows how to use them. Verbally abusive? I guess so, it's happened before but I stay with him because he basically holds all the power in my life right now. I am employed by him, both of my jobs. He owns the place I live in, he owns the car I drive. Yes, I'm stuck but it's a whole lot better than where I was before I met him. I'm learning to love Paul, so it's not that bad. He doesn't take control, I give him that control.
