Once the pies finished, they each decided to wait till morning to have a slice. It had been weird between them since they kissed, or maybe it was the heat between them they couldn't stand.

Lynn sat up in bed, not able to sleep. Grabbing her laptop, she turned it on. The white page, still completely blank.

She smiled, her writers block officially gone, well for now. She wrote about a couple meeting in an apple orchard, reaching for the same apple. The young man handed the young woman the apple.

Sparks flew as their finger tips touched.


She woke up the next morning to a knock at her door. Checking her phone, it was almost ten. Her laptop was running out of battery, but she noticed she had about four pages of her new book done.

She saved the pages and charged her laptop, hearing the knock again. She went over to answer it. A maid stood there with a tray of food.

"Oh, I was just about to go downstairs. I was up late working", she laughed softly.

The maid did as well.

"King Hunter had me send it up. He also wrote you a note. He had to leave for work miss", she said, handing her the note before leaving.

Lynn sat on her bed and opened it.

"I don't know why you didn't come down. I just hope it had nothing to do with what happened last night. If you're wondering, I had a wonderful time with you. If I made you uncomfortable, just let me know. I promise I won't cross that line again. Enjoy breakfast in bed, I'll see you for dinner."

Hunter

She sighed and laid back. She had to let him know why she didn't come down. She blushed, thinking about the kiss and the feel of his hardness pressed against her. Biting her lip, she wanted him to cross that line again and wanted him to cross the next one.

Another knock at her door, she stood, eating some of her food before answering. Billy stood there. Files in his hand.

"Sorry to bother you, but I have what you need miss", he said.

"Good", she replied, looking around.

"If you want I can wait for you in the library", he suggested.

"Actually, can you meet me in Hunter's office?", she asked.

"Of course miss", he said with a nod before leaving.

She quickly went over to the closet and grabbed some jeans and a tshirt. Putting her hair into a messy bun. Grabbing her notebook and laptop, along with the charger. Getting to the office, Billy smiled.

"So, do these men have anything to do with what happened to the Queen and princesses?", he asked as she grabbed Bo's file.

"I'm not sure. I met them while I was in Limbo waiting for the king to be done with the meeting. He was asking me questions. The entire bar was empty and he chose to sit next to me", she said.

He nodded.

"I mean, its happened before back on Earth 1, but usually the guy sits a bit away before ordering a second for me after I finish my first. Then he comes over to sit and talk to me.", she said.

"And this Bo didn't do that?", he asked.

She shook her head no.

"I also feel Undertaker and Kane have something to do with it. Always look at the obvious, they hold a grudge against him", she said.

"Well, then you are going to love what you find in that file", he smirked.

She opened it. Turns out, Bo had been in purgatory a few times in his short 28 years of life.

"He killed someone at ten?", she asked.

Billy nodded.

"Pleaded self defense. The judge didn't believe him, gave him eight months in purgatory since he was young.", Billy said.

"They live in Black Diamond region. Taker and Kane's region", she said, meeting his eyes.

He nodded. She grabbed Bray's file and opened it.

"Wow", she said, when she saw his rap sheet of purgatory.

"Tell me about it. I mean, I've seen worse, but never when it came to brothers. Living in Black Diamond is why they can walk around like nothing happened.", Billy said.

She nodded.

"Well, I have to get back to work. If you need anything else, I left my card. Call me", he said.

She nodded. Also finding the witness list and tapes of the accident.


Hunter was going through paperwork when Roman walked in. They shook hands and Roman sat.

"Is Lynn here with you?", he asked.

"No, she's back at the castle. She's busy writing her book", he answered.

Roman nodded.

"So should we discuss the meeting I missed?", Roman asked.

Hunter nodded and explained what was going to happen if Taker and Kane couldn't keep their people in line. Roman nodded in agreement.

"I like that idea. I would like it even better if we could just cut off Black Diamond and send it off into space somewhere", Roman said.

Hunter chuckled.

"Trust me, me and Shawn have tried", Hunter said.

Roman nodded. Hunter stood and so did Roman.

"I hope you don't mind me borrowing your cousins, Jimmy and Jey to protect her.", Hunter said as they walked down the hall.

"Not at all. I trust them and they'll take good care of her", he said.

Hunter nodded.

"If I may ask, why did you get her guards? I mean, she's only writing a book right?", Roman asked.

When they got into Hunter's car. John was driving so he could speak freely on the subject.

"She's helping me look into the deaths of my wife and daughters", he said.

Roman looked at him.

"Are you saying, it wasn't an accident?", he asked.

"I don't believe so. Neither does Shawn or Billy, my guard. We've been looking into it and some things just don't add up. The cops who did the report are also dead. They were killed", Hunter said.

"Who would do this?", he asked.

"I don't know, its why Lynn is helping.", Hunter said.

"If you need anything from Ruby Region, we've got your back. I trust Lynn", Roman said.

Hunter nodded.

"Thanks", he replied as they pulled into the driveway of the castle.

Getting off, they walked in. Hunter saw a maid.

"Where is she?", he asked.

"In your office your highness", she replied.

He nodded and Roman followed. Getting to the second floor, they walked into the office. Lynn was asleep, papers scattered on the coffee table and floor. Her laptop open with notes and several windows.

Hunter bent down and rubbed her cheek gently. Roman noticed the gesture, but decided not to say anything. Lynn shifted a bit before opening her eyes. Hunter smiled and she returned it, till her eyes found Roman with his signature smirk.

She sat up and hugged him.

"Romie", she said happily.

He laughed as he returned it.

"I haven't been called that in a long time", he said.

Hunter didn't like that she had a nickname for him, or that she was so happy to see him. She couldn't even come downstairs for breakfast after their kiss last night.

He cleared his throat.

"I'll give you two some time to catch up. If you need me I'll be in the library", he said.

Roman nodded and Lynn did as well before going back to asking Roman all kinds of questions. They had a lot to catch up on. Hunter took one last look at them and left the office.


JoJo was nervous about this, but Bray assured her it was the only way to protect Lynn. She added the letter Bray told her to print out. So that way her handwriting won't get recognized.

Walking back into her apartment she shared with Liam. She set the mail down. He walked over and opened the bills, as he got closer to Bray's letter, she got more nervous.

He reached for it and opened it.

"What the fuck?", he said.

"What?", she asked.

"This letter, its about Lynn. It says if she keeps sticking around king Hunter, she's a dead woman. If they have too, they'll also come after us", he said, not taking his eyes off the letter.

"You think, whoever wrote that, actually would?", she asked.

"Lets not find out. I need to call Lynn", he said, walking out of the kitchen.

JoJo sighed. She didn't want to do this. She was already hurting him by being back with Bray.
