Chapter One:
The Ex-Mrs Orton
Years after High School and a few years after he decided to get married at Las Vegas, Randy Orton was always found contemplating whether or not his past decisions were out of his own will or for the stupid thought that she would stay with him.
There was always that woman in his life that got away, and he wouldn't admit anything about that woman who was always number one over every view he had on women.
Everyone who knew him and worked with him knew her, and they saw the effects of it too.
Her ring name was Ivy, she debuted in 2004 and has been known to be a RAW diva ever since. But everyone outside the ring called her Allie which was short for Allison Laine Mahoney. And for their fellow co-workers and friends they knew that she was Randy Orton's first wife since they visited a small Vegas chapel and tied the knot on November 2000 and ended on October 2005.
By February 2006 she disappeared unexpectedly, a few fans accused Randy for it, and ever since then she no one has heard where she went.
November 10, 2008
It would've marked an eight year marriage.
But it marked an unwelcomed return.
"I'm back."
Five feet nine inches, tanned skin that covered an athletic body, she remained curvy like a coke bottle and she knew how to play it right with a seductive vibe as she was seen marching down the ramp with a grin placed on her pouted red lips.
Two years since she was last seen in an arena.
Rumors spread she trained at a development facility months before. Lips began to move as they mentioned that there was only one reason that determined her return - Randy Orton.
She climbed up the stairs and slip smoothly under the ropes as she rudely disrupted Vince McMahon's address to the audience, she stared around the sold out arena and gave herself a well done pat on the shoulder before she gripped the microphone tight and moved it close to her lips. A laugh echoed. Ivy was a proud heel, and no matter what the circumstances with the other Divas in RAW, she made herself present in every match to declare her existence was noticed. Trish Stratus was one of her love-hate associates back in the day. They fought each other. They saved each other from other Divas. They were just there. But what made her return not-so-good was that the group of Divas she worked with before were retired.
"So I see that insects still roamed around RAW." She spoke with poison in each word as she heard the echoes of "booing" all over the arena. She only laughed as she turned towards her boss and smirked. "But today, I'm here to say thank you and give a small gratitude towards the man who gave me my job back." She gave a small bow of gratitude towards the man and asked, "Where are all my associates?"
"Unlike you, Ivy, they decided to quit while they were ahead." Mr. McMahon remarked, his stance was so prideful as he shook his head and added, "When you quit, you weren't even ahead of the game. Just one Woman's Championship win under your belt isn't much these days." He chuckled.
But she merely shook her head and shrugged her shoulders as she pranced around the ring. "Oh no, no," She turned her green eyes towards the older man. "Now that they're gone, I can start fresh." She chuckled and tossed the microphone to the floor just an inch away from Mr. McMahon's feet and slid out of the ring without another word.
She was back. Ivy the cold-hearted bitch was back, and everyone witnessed it.
But backstage,
Allie was not at all that bad compared to her persona.
Once she stepped out of the way for other Superstars, she came across a few Divas and was greeted quite a warm welcoming.
Some were new faces.
Some were new the moment she retired.
"Wow, you're Ivy, huh?" An old friend called from behind. The female looked over her shoulder and a smile brightened wider as she saw Stephanie McMahon, they embraced quite tightly as soon as they could reach each other from the crowd.
They were close friends since they met in 2004, though they lost contact when Allie ran away, it no longer mattered as their friendship was still strong.
"So are you back for good now? No more running away?" Stephanie pulled from the hug and eyed the younger woman up and down, she had to reassure there were no changes. Allie only smiled and nodded as she replied, "Oh you would know, Mrs Levesque. Wait, how come you're not using that name?"
"I don't really use McMahon in my personal life," The woman smiled. "Though I see you actually did drop the name, your divorce finalized a month before you left didn't it?"
Allie nodded as she looked uneasy with the topic. "Though, speaking of that," She began to clear her throat then look around. "Is he here?"
"As a matter of fact," Her friend pointed behind her with a grin. "He's right behind you."
* * * * * *
Blue eyes.
Green eyes.
Allie remembered calling them "Winter and Summer", "Water and Earth". It meant that they were opposites, but could work if they were properly maintained as they actually need each other to somewhat survive. Well that was when they were married, when she thought about it then it sounded too cheesy.
Yet at that moment, Randy Orton had a different look on the matter, his eyes were so strongly against her that made Allie feel a bit awkward as they stood in his locker room. They were meant to have a chat yet no one spoke a word.
"Why are you here?" Well he spoke first, his voice so low and yet sounded quite angry. "As I can remember, you filed for divorce and once it went through you ran away." Yeah, he was more aggressive than she thought he would be.
"And I guess no one knew where I was, huh?" She teased, she was trying to brighten up the meeting, it was rather tense in the room that she wasn't even sure that she could say something without anyone getting angry at her... Well in that case without him getting more angrier than he already was. "Oh and I heard Randy, you're married now?"
"I remarried," He grunted, his voice sounded like he wasn't really sure if it was the right thing to say at that moment. It sounded more like he didn't like the reality of it. Allie only shook her head and sat on the bench with a slight cock of an eyebrow, she situated herself opposite of him as she remained to keep her eyes on him, even eying him to see whether or not there were changes on the man she one was married to. "Did you get any new tattoos?" She questioned to change the topic, unfortunately for her, he was covered with a jacket as he had only arrived not too long ago, but at least he nodded to answer her before looking away. "Allie," He grunted, "I'll ask again, why are you here?"
She only smirked at him, she knew he wasn't going to stop asking until she responded. "Work, why else would I be here?" She sarcastically spoke to him.
There was silence.
"I still remember," She began to fill up the silence as she crossed one leg over the other and leaned back against the wall. "Back in the day, you made sure I graduated before you took me to Vegas to celebrate, sure it was fun, but then we took a rather... Wrong turn," She continued. She was deliberately reminding him about their decision back in the day.
"Wrong turn?" He repeated. "You thought it was-"
"-Randy," She cut him off. She shook her head and continued from where she was as if she wasn't intending on letting Randy speak during her time of reminisce. "I was 18, you were 20, and from what I remember, you told me that you planned on doing something else with your life, so truthfully, I panicked and to make sure I still had you in my life I agreed to drive with you in that chapel and get married." Oh those two words echoed through his mind, it was slammed down onto him and was clearly emphasized.
It wasn't romantic or anything. But it was true.
They even kept it quiet for two years before Bob Orton found out about it. He was the one who exposed it to everyone, but they couldn't change anything about it considering that they lasted another three years without their in-laws approving of it.
But that was then.
Allie continued to stare at Randy, her face showed quite a blank as though she couldn't really say anything more about it. So instead, she changed the topic of the 'chat' once again. "So, any children, Randy?" She bluntly asked. "With uh-"
"-Samantha," He spoke with a bit of disappointment. "No, I don't see why I should."
"I thought you would love the woman, at least enough to make you forget me." She sounded as cold as he was, and for some reason it caused Randy to realize she was still the same. She was the same person he last knew and the same person he found to have once been married to. "I mean," She cleared her throat as she pushed herself from the bench and stood in front of him with such a glow from the bright lighting above them. "Samantha may as well be enough for you because frankly, me being back in RAW wasn't what I expected. I thought Smackdown was my new home." She openly confessed as she took slow steps towards him and closing in the gap.
Her lips pouted as she pushed herself to her toes and leaned in. Some reason, Randy's lips began to tingle as he watched her closely. Just an inch away, any movement would cause their lips to touch, but he made sure he wasn't moving at all to avoid any unnecessary touching.
Yet instead, she gave him a slight push and she lowered herself flat on her feet.
She released a small snicker. "But I guess it comes to show that my reappearance would only cause more trouble between us." She looked away from him and sighed, there was a moment of silence and before he could've been given a chance to speak, she grasped the handle of the door and walked out.
Randy stood there for a moment. He wondered what she meant. What just happened.
He was confused. He still lingered on the same question; "Why did she come back?"
* * * * * *
News spread quickly like water, more like poison really as phone calls and text messages bombarded a few Superstars and Divas, all asking one question.
"Is Ivy really back?"
Smackdown and a few ECW Superstars who knew her even called in to chat with her as well as the Divas who got to nkow her before she left. They greeted her heartily and made her feel more welcome than usual.
Ivy's return to the WWE Universe spread through blogs and forums, a few fans who still remembered her welcomed her with open arms while a few who strongly held loyalty to retired Divas had looked away from it.
It wasn't even a day back at St. Louis, and Samantha had already asked Randy if it was true. And yes, of course Samantha knew who and the story of Allison Laine Mahoney, it was all Bob had ever talked about during their visits.
"You know, Bob said he and Elaine are visiting tonight."
Randy was half as interested, his mind wandered elsewhere as he sat on the sofa with his eyes on the television, and unfortunately, happened to have been showing reruns of past RAW shows. Worst, when she was in the reruns too.
Her reappearance troubled him so much that by six o'clock in the evening, his Parents arrived on cue.
"The Ex-Mrs Orton, huh?" Bob quoted at the title that Allie was burdened to carry when she disappeared. "Now that she's back, she's just plain ol' Ivy from Indianapolis, Indiana."
"There's nothing wong with that." Randy spoke up, his Father hadn't helped with comforting his mind as all he ever talked about was her - it turned out that many years after he found out - his very own Father had already approved of her way before they divorced, and it seemed it still was all his Father wanted in a Daughter-in-law.
When Samantha and his Mother left the room and into the kitchen just after dinner, his Father coughed out a chuckle, a rather dry one that squeezed its way out as he said, "Managing to get a second wife tells me there's always a time for second chances. Why not use it on Allie?"
The younger male rubbed the back of his neck as he leaned forward, his elbows balanced firmly against the table as he stared down at the wood it was made of.
He and Allie had gone through a lot since they met in High School, they dated when he was a Senior and she was a Sophomore which was rarely seen back in those days. But those two were instantly connected the moment they met.
As Allie explained on the day of her return that she reminded him of their foolish decision at Las Vegas, the thought about it had him shake his head as he came to it as unplanned in a more mature perspective... Well he with his age he imagined himself to see it through the eyes of his Father when he found out about it.
The thought just had him looking up to his curious-looking Father who said, "Randy, I may have disapproved before, but I later grew to appreciate her efforts to be accepted." Bob looked over towards the kitchen door behind Randy, he took a peek whether to see if the women were busy with their own thing. Once he was certain, he leaned close to his son and whispered, "To be honest, I pulled a few strings and Vince managed to find her modeling in Europe, he had a talk with her and gave some sense to her until she came back. They said she went to some development facility with a different look that hardly anyone could recognize. She said she was training there until she would regrow all the brown hair back which wasn't a lot."
"It was you?" The younger Orton hissed as he sat up straight, he avoided to cause a commotion as he replied in a whisper, "What are you trying to do? I'm married to Samantha now, and there is no way I would welcome her back so heartily as you." A grunt followed as he crossed his arms and leaned back. "Allie left, why would I open my arms to a woman who pathetically ran away from everything that she had."
"I should say that you make a good point, but-" Bob reached into his pocket as his head turned once more towards the doorway to the kitchen, he made sure once again that no one was around before he exposed to Randy a glossy rectangular paper with a date clearly printed at the back in black ink. "-I think you should have a look at his," He continued, "I've never seen my son as happy as I've ever seen in this photo."
It marked November 10, 2000
Bob slowly turned it around when he was certain that no one was around, the rectangular item revealeda younger Randy Orton who wore a goofy smile that showed to have been what Bob said, his happiest, while he was dressed in just a pair of jeans and a dark green shirt, his arms were wrapped around a green eyed younger woman. She wore a smile at the same level of happiness as he had in the photograph, she was as casual too. She had only worn a white top beneath a High School Football jacket and a short skirt.
They both held their left hand out. Around their ring finger was the gold band that were pretty much identical.
That photograph was what exposed their marriage to Bob in the first place when he took a trip to their loft back in '02.
It was that photograph that told Randy the whole story in a quick glance.
He was reminded so quickly why he never wanted to see her again. He knew he wouldn't be able to control himself if she was to stay.
Allison Laine Mahoney was the one woman who left a scar on him that he suffered with for years.
