A/N: I only own Briar.

ruizx3, guest, Ghostwriter, and Yankees01- Thank you for the reviews. Sorry about the delay I am dealing with medical issues.


I walked back to my room after a family meeting. Mr. Balor was extremely pissed at this happening. He couldn't believe that they had gotten on the compound. He had already had most of the guards rounded up and I didn't think that they would make it until tomorrow. I didn't know where he got guards at, but I figured he could easily find replacements for the stupid one.

I walked into the room and stretched. They were adamant that the wedding would still happen tomorrow. They wanted everything to appear normal and I had to accept that this was really going to happen.

"You look tense." a voice said and I spun around to see the same man from the engagement party standing in my room. He was in all black and wearing a smirk on his face.

"You must have a fucking death wish." I mumbled as I felt my heart attempt to slow. He smirked and shrugged as he stood up.

"You look tired." he said and I sighed.

"You snuck into my room to tell me that I look tired. You think it might be because someone just snuck onto the property and burned my future house to the ground?" I asked him as he stepped closer to me. I wasn't afraid, but I didn't want to deal with him.

"I wouldn't know anything about that, but I would thank him. The house wasn't ever going to be yours." he said and I smirked.

"So, really, what did you risk life and limb for? Just to tell me congrats on my upcoming wedding?" I asked him and he was now standing directly in front of me. He wasn't saying anything when I turned to walk away, but he caught my by the shoulders. He pulled me to him and kissed me. I expected a bullet before a kiss. I finally realized what was going on and pulled away.

"Leave." I said and he smirked at me.

"You know I could kidnap you and make you leave all this." he said and I raised an eyebrow.

"Why would you want to do that?" I asked him and he sighed.

"Roman and I go way back... back far enough to know that Becky ripped Roman's heart out. I know that he loved her and she didn't even fight for him. I know that Finn or Sheamus will fight for you... it will be interesting to see which one." he said and I realized that he wanted to hurt them the way they had hurt his family.

"Why me? Why not get the first girl?" I asked him as I looked at him.

"I did. She tried to go back and they found her." he said and I was surprised.

"I can't just leave." I said and he sighed.

"Briar, I don't want to hurt you... there is something about you. You deserve something better. I am giving you this chance. If you don't take it then one day I will come back." he said and I sighed.

"This will protect Finn and Sheamus a little longer... and Becky." he said and I nodded. I didn't want to hurt Becky. I liked Becky. I was thinking about it when he held out his hand and motioned towards the balcony. I didn't want anyone to get hurt, but I did want my chance at freedom.

"Come on, beautiful, it will all be blamed on me no matter what. I promise you will have fun." he said and it was a very tempting offer.

AN: Should she go with him?
