She was mutilated in barbed wire, she fell off a scaffolding, and suffered through many other violent acts courtesy of Sarah Wolf. But a smile is still across the face of “The Woman Scorned” Kimberly Williams as she lies on her king size bed in her hotel room in London, England the morning after Under Attack. Pain is still surging through her body several hours after her violent encounter with Sarah Wolf. But all of the pain and torture was worth it; because Kimberly won, she is still the SCW Underground Champion, and maybe now she can finally put Sarah Wolf behind her once and for all. The demented ginger also still has a shot at the SCW World Championship in her back pocket thanks to the victory in Ducky’s Trios cash in from a previous Breakdown in October. It seems as if everything is going her way. So what if she has to have a few stitches and have to lose a little blood? The Woman Scorned is the face of the Underground Division. She is the Queen of the Death Match. But more importantly to her, she is entertaining her beloved fans, her Kimmymaniacs who have supported her through thick and thin.

The Woman Scorned attributes her recent string of success to the recent bond forged with her mother, Angelica Jones. Shortly after the stinging losses at Rise To Greatness (all three of the losses) Kimberly took on Angelica as a manager, a backstage voice and advocate on her behalf. Kim always knew that negotiating and backstage politics was not her forte but she just never cared. Being forced to compete in three matches across two nights forced Kimberly to rethink that stance. Angelica promised to help elevate Kim’s career and in the process she promised to bond with her daughter. And Angelica Jones delivered on both promises. Kim has been undefeated since Rise To Greatness. She regained the Underground Championship at Apocalypse. She earned a World Title shot at Breakdown. She retained the Underground Championship at Under Attack. But more important than all of that success is the close and deeply personal bond she has now formed with her mother.

A loving and caring relationship with a parental figure is something Kimberly never had growing up. She was taken from her mother’s arms at infancy and raised by a cold, emotionless woman named Emma Floreschu. Emma raised Kimberly to hate and to be violent. Kim never knew what it meant to be loved or to be accepted. She never knew the concept of family. Is it any wonder that Kimberly turned out to be the way she is? But now she has that love and acceptance. And she has a relationship with her mother, a relationship she never got to have growing up.

The Woman Scorned is staring up at the ceiling of her hotel room in a deep meditative trance when there is a knocking at the door. Kimberly is so deep that the first set of knocking doesn’t seem to bother her. But then the knocking grows louder and Williams is startled to attention. Kim sighs as she throws the covers off and then swings her legs off the edge of the bed.

“Coming!” Kimberly shouts as she stands up. She is dressed in nothing but black panties and a plain white t-shirt. The scars and wounds of war are still evident all over her skin and face. Her body is also still stained with dried blood from the night before. Williams wears all of those wounds with pride, a reminder of the victory she gained at Under Attack. Kimberly walks away from the bed and approaches a pile of clothes on the floor. She finds a pair of purple plaid pajama bottoms which she slips her feet and legs into. The SCW Underground Champion then makes her way over to the door. She unlatches the lock and then opens the door. Kim expects her mother and agent Angelica Jones to be standing there. She is pleasantly surprised when that is not the case. She grins from ear to ear as she sees her identical twin sister, “The Phoenix” Marie Jones, standing there. Marie is wearing a black knee length skirt, black stockings, black high heeled pumps, and a red silk blouse.

“Hi, Kim. I just…”

“Sis!” Kim shouts excitedly as she embraces Marie in a tight hug.

“Whoa, calm down Kim.” Marie says as she gently pushes her twin away. “I would think that you would want to take it easy tonight after everything that happened at Under Attack between you and Sarah Wolf.”

“Please.” Kim scoffs. “I’m fine!”

Kimberly marches into the room and motions for her twin sister to follow her. Marie follows her inside and shuts the door behind her. Kim flops down on the king size bed where she had just been lying. Marie looks at it cautiously and then at Kim. “Is it safe?”

“What do you mean? Its a bed. Its not like bed bugs can kill you. Maybe give you lime disease, though.”

“That’s ticks. I’m worried about the blood.”

“Oh that.” Kim nods her head. “I’m fine and so is the bed.” Marie sighs as she reluctantly sits down on the bed next to Kim.

“You rolled around in barbed wire. You fell off a scaffolding. I hardly call that fine.”

“But I won didn’t I?” Kim says, grinning from ear to ear.

“Yes, yes you did.” Marie sighs and shakes her head. “Still, I think you should take it easy. You look like hell.”

“Sorry, Marie. I guess I’m just a little excited to see you. I wasn’t expecting you to make the trek to London just to watch little old me flay Wolfie.”

“Come on, Kim. Give me a little more credit than that.” Marie pats Kim on the back. “We’re family and we support one another. Besides, it’s not like I have anything better to do.”

“Sure ya do! You probably have all sorts of public appearances and book deals and photoshoots and…”

“Let me stop you right there, Kim.” Marie states. “Yes, I do have those things. I have public appearances and photoshoots to attend. I am still somewhat popular. But my wrestling career has hit a standstill. Jessica is floundering to try and regain tag team gold somewhere, anywhere. Our mother just decided to come out of retirement.”

“What are you getting at?”

“Face it, Kim. You are the most successful person in this family right now. You are the SCW Underground Champion. You have held the HKW Bloodlust Title for over a year. You also have a shot at the SCW World Championship promised to you sometime in the future.”

“Stop it.” Kim shakes her head.

“I mean it.” Marie smirks. “Like it or not, you are becoming the face of the Jones Wrestling Family.”

“Which is ironic, don’t you think? I don’t even use the Jones name. I use our father’s name, Williams.”

“You could change your name if you want. Kimberly Jones has a nice ring to it.” Marie suggests. Kim shakes her head.

“No thanks, Marie. I broke into this business as a Williams and, quite frankly, I always will be a Williams. Besides, I feel as if I have an obligation to our father.”

“What sort of obligation?”

“Think about it. Mom and dad both made serious mistakes in their lives. While mom had a chance to redeem herself, and has, dad never got that chance. He died before he could seriously redeem himself and his family name. Those who knew him…and I mean knew the REAL him…only knew of the murder allegations against him. He died with that tainted reputation. He never got to redeem himself. Maybe that’s something I can do?”

“You’re such a selfless, humble person Kim.” Marie says. Kim smirks.

“Well I kinda have to be, since you have all the ego in the family.” Marie lets out a soft laugh.

“Fair enough. Now get dressed. I want to take you out to breakfast before you catch your flight back home.”

“It better not be anywhere fancy!” Kim exclaims. “I wanna stay grounded! I can never get used to the fancy shit you and mom always reveled in!”

“Don’t worry, it’ll be as down to earth as I can find. But you are right…”

“Right about what?”

“About me still having fans.” Marie reaches into her purse and produces a small envelope. Kim stares at it. It reads ‘Marie’ on the front.

“What’s that?”

“What does it look like, Kim? It’s a fan letter! At least that’s what the security said backstage at Under Attack.”

“Where did it come from?” Kim asks curiously.

“Like I said…a fan. Someone apparently found out I was gonna be there and passed on this fan letter to me.” Marie shrugs her shoulders. “I have no idea how this fan found out I would be there. I suppose its a logical guess that I would be there in Wembley to support my sister.”

Red flags and alarm bells are going off right and left inside Kimberly’s head. None of that makes any sense. None at all. But then again, Marie seems so happy to have a fan. Maybe Marie is right? Maybe this is just a fan? Kim can only hope anyway. Against her better judgment, Kim decides not to raise her concerns to Marie.

“Sounds good. I’ll get dressed so we can leave for breakfast.”

It has been over two weeks since Under Attack and Kimberly Williams brutal and violent war with Sarah Wolf that resulted in her retention of the SCW Underground Championship. Under normal circumstances The Woman Scorned would be focused entirely on her next challenge; that would be a non-title match against Calvan Greene on the first Breakdown in December. Unfortunately these are not any ordinary or normal circumstances. An emergency has forced Kimberly and her mother Angelica to delay any and all training and prep time so that they can make an immediate stop by the nearest hospital. Angelica Jones isn’t injured. Neither is Kimberly Williams. The patient in question is Kimberly’s identical twin sister, Marie Jones.

Angelica Jones is wearing a black silk blouse, a black women’s blazer, a black knee length pencil skirt, and black high heeled pumps. Kimberly Williams, in contrast to her mother’s more elegant attire, is wearing torn denim jeans, flip flops, and a black t-shirt that reads “Team Oktoberfest” on the front. They are sitting in a waiting room at the hospital anxiously waiting on news from doctors about Marie’s condition.

“So what the hell happened?” Kim asks.

“Marie was at home with Sean [her son] when it happened.”

“What happened, though?!” Kimberly asks with a note of frustration. “Did she have a seizure? What was it?!”

“Calm down, Kim. I just don’t know.”

“How can I calm down?!” Kim exclaims. “My sister is in there and I would like to know what happened!”

“I know you want to know exactly what happened. I wish I had answers for you but I don’t. She just collapsed but that’s all I know. We’re just lucky that Sean was quick thinking enough to call paramedics and then call me.”

Kimberly knows that her mother is right. She should try and calm down and she shouldn’t take it out on her. It isn’t like Angelica can do anything. The problem is that Kim does feel a sense of guilt over this whole situation. Just over two weeks ago, the day after Under Attack, Marie got a mysterious letter from what Marie thought was just a fan. Kimberly saw the warning signs but said nothing. Williams cannot help but think that maybe this letter, and whatever it contained, might have something to do with this. And had Kim spoken up, maybe Marie would not have been hurt.

The Woman Scorned’s thoughts are interrupted when a doctor walks into the waiting room dressed in his scrubs. “Jones?”

“Yes, I’m Angelica.” Angelica stands up, followed by Kim.

“You must be Marie’s mother, correct?”

“Yes.”

The doctor looks at Kim. “And you obviously are her identical twin.”

“No shit, Sherlock.” Kim snaps back angrily. “Now tell us what’s wrong with my sister!”

“Kim, hush!” Angelica says sternly. She looks back up at the doctor. “Now what’s wrong with my daughter? Will she be ok?”

“I think she will recover and be just fine, Ms. Jones. But we do want to keep her a few days to run some more tests.”

“Is it that serious?”

“Potentially. The tests are primarily to confirm our suspicions that she was poisoned.”

“Poisoned?” Angelica raises her brow out of curiosity. The doctor nods his head.

“Yes, poisoned. And not food poisoning. This seems like foul play could be involved. I would advise you get police involved.”

“When can we see her?” Kim demands.

“Soon enough.” The doctor states. “I need to check on her. I will return and let you know when you can see her.”

Kim and Angelica watch as the doctor turns and walks away. Once he is out of sight the pair walk back to their seats in the waiting room and sit down. Angelica is in utter shock but Kimberly’s guilt is overwhelming. She just knows that she was right. She knows that letter was bad news.

“I’m sure the doctors know what they’re talking about but still…poisoned?” Angelica shakes her head. “I find it hard to believe. Who would want to hurt Marie?”

“No one would want to hurt Marie.” Kim answers back. “She wasn’t the intended target.”

“What do you mean?”

“I was the intended target.” Kim says with tears rolling down her cheek. “It was me.”

“You’re being ridiculous, Kim.” Angelica says as she pats her daughter on the back. “Don’t blame yourself.”

“I don’t really want to talk about this right now, mom. We just need to worry about Marie. If this is a poisoning then maybe someone is targeting the family again? If so, someone should take care of Sean.”

“I suppose I can keep him for the next few days while his mom is in the hospital.” Angelica suggests. But Kim emphatically shakes her head.

“No, you don’t get it.”

“Get what?”

“In the off chance that Marie was the intended target, someone should take care of Sean for the foreseeable future. We don’t want him caught in the crossfire do we?”

“I see your point.” Angelica nods her head. “Still, I think you’re overreacting and being ridiculous about this idea of someone targeting you or your sister. But at the very least someone has to take care of Sean while his mom is in the hospital. We can talk to her about that when we see her.”

“Yeah…” Kimberly’s voice trails off but the deep feeling of guilt and sorrow is there. She still hasn’t told her mother about what happened the morning after Under Attack, when her sister visited her and told her about that letter. Kim saw the warning signs and said nothing. Kim felt that the letter was unusual and that it could be dangerous but said nothing. Now Marie is sick and in the hospital. Has she been targeted? If so, it is Kim’s fault for saying nothing. But Kim will make it up to Marie by getting to the bottom of this. That is a promise.
