After everyone ate and relaxed in the living room. Jimmy and Jey brought over their wives to meet Lynn.
"Lynn, this is my wife Naomi. Nao, this is Lynn", Jimmy introduced.
They hugged.
"Its so nice to finally meet you. Jimmy and Jey talk about you and your siblings none stop. Its like I already know you like the back of my hand", Naomi said.
Lynn laughed softly.
"And this is Ember, my wife", Jey introduced.
"I hope the twins are being good to you. If not let me know and Leslie and I will set them straight", Lynn said, nudging Jimmy.
The twins chuckled.
"Oh we will", Ember said playfully.
Lynn felt like someone was watching her. She turned her head a bit and caught Roman. He smiled and looked away. She fit in perfectly here. Why couldn't she see that? Roman thought. Sasha took his hand and he looked at her.
"Don't forget who your wife is, husband", she whispered harshly.
JoJo had excused herself to the restroom. Locking the door and pulling her phone out. She called Bray.
"Jo, where are you guys?", Bray asked.
"They moved us to Ruby region. Bray, Lynn knows about you and Bo. She knows Undertaker and Kane were the ones who wanted Hunter's wife and daughters dead.", JoJo whispered.
"How?", he asked worried.
"She just put two and two together. She's really good at this kind of stuff Bray. She writes books for a living.", JoJo said, starting to pace the bathroom.
She didn't understand why he wasn't more worried about this. She heard him sigh.
"So she doesn't have proof?", he asked.
"No, but she is suspicious of you four. I just want you to be careful", she said.
"If she has no proof, I'll be fine. If she ever finds proof, let me know and I will handle it", Bray said.
She swallowed, afraid to ask her next question.
"Handle it how?", she asked, sitting on the edge of the tub.
"She isn't your family anymore Jo. You've picked me. Bo and I are your family. Whatever you feel towards them, it needs to stop now.", Bray said.
She took a deep breath, knowing he was right.
"She has a video of the road leading to Opal, the one I'm assuming you blocked off to get the queen to go around. I don't know what's on it, she doesn't either. What do I do?", she said.
"Take it Jo. Break it, throw it out, I don't care. Just don't let anyone see what's on it. I'll handle things in Opal", he said.
There was that word again. Handle.
"Okay", was all she could say.
"I love you", he replied.
"I love you too Bray", she whispered.
That reminded her of Lynn and Hunter. Bray was right, as soon as they found out that she was breaking it off with Liam, they would kick her out of the so called family they said she was in. Leslie and Lynn were his sisters after all.
"There's something else you should know", she said.
"What?", he asked.
"Hunter asked Lynn to be his new queen. She hasn't really said yes yet, but I just thought you should know", she said.
"That's good information my love. Thank you, Taker and Kane will be pleased.", Bray said.
She smiled. Hanging up, she washed her hands and walked out.
"Hey", she jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
It was only Liam. He smiled as she placed her hand against her heart.
"You scared me", she said exhaling.
"Sorry. I was going to our room for a quick nap. Then I saw you come out of the bathroom and wanted to see if you wanted to join me.", he said, wrapping his arms around her.
She smiled softly at him and met his eyes. He leaned down and kissed her.
"Sounds good", she whispered.
Their room was right next to Lynn and Hunter's room. She could grab the disc out of Lynn's purse. Liam lifted her and carried her to their room, passing Seth on the way. Seth could feel his heart shattering into a million little pieces again.
Lynn made her way to Roman's office to thank him for the hospitality. She walked in and closed the door behind her. She found Sasha instead of Roman. She was with another man. Pushing him away.
"What are you doing?", Lynn asked.
Sasha smirked and jumped off of Roman's desk.
"Like he didn't tell you. Whatever, he's not here.", Sasha said, walking past her.
Lynn would have to tell Roman about what she saw, and which guard it was. She didn't want to believe Sasha was capable of possibly hurting Roman one day, but seeing her cheating on him. Sasha would do whatever she had too.
Liam had JoJo completely naked on their bed, yet, his friend didn't seem to want to cooperate.
"Its okay baby, maybe its all the stress from everything that's been going on", JoJo tried to comfort him.
He sighed. He knew what it really was. Seth. Thinking about the man had his friend hard as a rock now. JoJo giggled. Kissing his cheek.
"Just a little motivation", she whispered.
He kissed her. When he opened his eyes, Seth was the one underneath him.
"I'm yours", Seth whispered.
Liam licked his lips before kissing him again. Only when he opened his eyes again, it was JoJo. Setting his forehead against hers. This wasn't how he saw this going. Turning JoJo onto her stomach. Thinking about Seth.
Seth stood outside of Liam and JoJo's room. He knew he shouldn't torture himself this way, but he deserved it. He let the man of his dreams get away. Right into a woman's arms.
This was his fault.
"Liam", JoJo moaned.
"Fuck", he heard Liam groan.
Seth pushed himself away and down the hall to his room. Slamming the door hard, before sliding down to the floor and crying his heart out.
Liam laid beside JoJo, completely unsatisfied. It never did feel right, not with JoJo. She kissed his chest, down to his abs before moving back up to his lips.
"That was amazing", she whispered against his lips.
Because it wasn't you I was picturing underneath me. He wanted to say. He just smiled and kissed her.
"I'm going to get in a quick shower, then sleep. I am so exhausted", she said.
He nodded. She grabbed her things and left the room, finding the hall bathroom, she set her clothes and towel on the counter. Stepping back out into the hall, she knocked on Lynn and Hunter's bedroom door. When no one answered, she walked in. Finding Lynn's purse and digging through it.
Pulling out the disc, she quickly made her way out and to the bathroom. If she destroyed it now and threw it in the trash, they would know it was her.
Biting her lip, she knew she had to hide it. But where?
Lynn found Roman in the library.
"Hey", she said softly, taking the seat opposite of him.
He smiled.
"Is there something you need to tell me? You know, about your marriage. Or should I say, open marriage", she said.
Roman raised a brow.
"I caught your second choice with a guard in your office", she said.
Roman chuckled.
"Figures she couldn't hold off till you all left", he said, shaking his head.
"What is this Roman? You know she's cheating on you and you're okay with it", Lynn said.
He met her eyes.
"She's not cheating on me. Yes, we are married, but I can't be with her Lynn. I tried, trust me I've tried.", he said.
He looked away.
"We have a deal. She can fuck whoever she wants, if I don't have too", he replied.
"And what happens if one of these guys knocks her up?", she asked.
"Then we get divorced. Trust me, she knows this and is protecting herself. One slip and her crown is gone", he chuckled.
"You've been doing this since marrying her?", she asked softly.
He nodded.
"No one could ever replace you, my love", he said softly.
She felt like she couldn't breathe. She stood and straddled him, connecting their lips. Roman's body felt like it was coming back to life. Her hands buried in his long hair. His hands finding their way under her shirt, feeling the soft skin on her back.
Leslie joined the group of old and new friends after her nap.
"You look like shit", she pointed out on Seth.
He chugged his beer and chuckled.
"Okay, so what are we discussing? Why are you all hush hush over here?", Leslie asked.
Dean shrugged.
"Just thinking of ways we could help Roman and Lynn get back together.", Dean said.
Leslie chuckled.
"Sasha isn't right for queen. Ever since she took the crown, its like she forgot the person she was before.", Naomi said.
"Lynn was always meant to stand beside Roman. It was perfect. He's not himself and we are all just worried about him", Dean added.
"We are afraid he's going to lose it even worse if Lynn stays with Hunter.", Peyton said.
"It will kill him, Leslie", Jimmy said.
"We all want Lynn for our queen. Help us get her to see that. For her and for Roman", Jey continued.
Leslie nodded. She knew they were right. Her sister would lose herself if she married Hunter.
At least with Roman she would know her sister would be happy. She knew Roman would never try to change Lynn to fit what he thought was right.
"I'll she what I can do", Leslie said.
Hunter had heard everything. It hurt, but they made great points. He saw the way Roman looked at Lynn and vise versa.
After getting to know Stephanie, he had started getting that same look of love for her, the one Roman had for Lynn whenever he was around her. As much as it hurt to do, he had to let Lynn go. At least he could thank her for getting the fire started for him again.
He has a chance again, to find someone to love. It wasn't the end like he thought it was.
"I'm so sorry your highness, I didn't mean to bother you", a young woman said, bowing.
"You weren't. Please, do what you need too", he said.
She nodded and walked around the kitchen.
"What's your name?", he asked, sitting down at the bar end of the counter.
She smiled.
"Bayley", she replied.
"Hunter", he said, holding his hand out to her.
She shook it. She was pretty. Just from her smile, he could tell she was kind hearted and easy going.
Maybe, just maybe, this could work.
