Flash Back. 2015
"Alright bro tell me why was it so important we eat here?" Roman asked sitting down at the table. Jon sat down with him but was half paying attention as he was looking around the restaurant.
"The food is kick ass." Jon stated as his eyes met the Brown haired, Brown eyed waitress.
"The food huh?" Roman chuckled noticing his friend checking her out. "The view isn't that bad either."
"Huh?" Jon asked as he quickly looked at Roman.
"Who is the girl?" Roman chuckled glancing up from the menu.
"Uce come on who said there was a chick?" Jon asked pretending to look at the menu.
"From the moment we walked in here you've been looking for someone. The moment you saw her your face lit up dude. So who is she?"
Jon glanced over in the pretty young waitresses direction and gave a subtle head nod.
"Ask her out?" Roman asked.
"A few weeks ago."
"So did you go out?"
"No she said no."
Roman laughed. "A woman actually turned you down? Damn man. Is that why you are stuck on her?"
"No maybe. I don't know there is something about her. I just want her man. So I am gonna ask her out again until she says yes. See where things go ya know."
Roman smirked and nodded at his friend. "Bro word of advice here. Don't maker her a one night stand if all you want is sex move on."
"I don't want just a one night stand with her. Give me some credit Uce. Shhh. She's coming over."
"Sorry for the wait my I take your order?" Karen asked looking up from the note pad in her hand. She bit her bottom lip and blushed as Jon flashed that sexy Jon Moxley smile. "HI Jon. Would you like your usually?"
"Yes darling. Turkey Club ….."
"Turkey club no tomato with extra french fries." Karen finished for him.
"You got babe." Jon winked making Karen giggled. "And for you?" She said looking at Roman.
"Well Baby girl I will have a double cheese burger with everything and an order of onion rings." Roman said.
"I will get this right in for you. Anything else?" She asked looking at the two men.
"No we're good babe." Jon winked.
Karen felt flushed as she grabbed the menus and her hand touched Jon's softly.
When their food was ready she brought it out to them then went behind the counter as she kept glancing over at Jon and Roman eating their lunch.
"She has no idea who the hell we are does she?" Roman asked.
"None. She's not a wrestling fan at all. She has no idea about The Shield , Dean Ambrose none of it. Honestly I like it. I can just be me around her and not worry about her using me for money or whatever."
Roman nodded shoving another onion ring in his mouth.
"The blonde has been coming in here a a lot. I think he likes you." Hannah said.
"He is hot. He did ask me out." Karen said as she was cleaning off the counter.
"What the hell and you didn't tell me? We are room mates girl what did you say?" She asked.
"I told him No. Liam agreed it wasn't the time." Karen said.
"Screw Liam that man is never gonna be ready believe me I have tried to ask him out. But Karen go for it. You came to Vegas to start a new so start it with that hunk of a man right there." Hannah said. "He likes you a lot and clearly you like him too."
"I do like him. I mean just look at him." Karen said.
"Then ask him out."
"Oh I couldn't do that. But if he asks me out I would consider saying yes this time."
After Jon and Roman finished eating their lunch Jon went up to pay as Karen was cashing them out.
"Thanks for coming in again." Karen said handing back his change.
"Keep the change." Jon winked.
"Jon this is to much."
"It was great service." He winked. "A few friends and I are going to a karaoke bar tonight. Would you want to go?" He asked.
"Jon are you asking me out again?" Karen said a smile appearing on her face.
"If you say yes then it's a date. But gonna be honest with you babe my ego can't take another rejection." He said placing his hand over his heart.
Karen took a deep breath not sure why but she felt like she could trust him.
"Yes." She said biting her lip. "Yes I will go with you tonight."
"Hell yeah." He smiled. "I mean sweet. I'll pick you up about 8."
Present Day - 2019- Motel off the Vegas Strip.
"Karen what the hell were you thinking coming here alone." Liam said as he was brought into the room by Lane about 20 minutes later.
"I know I fucked up! I couldn't take the chance of them hurting Jon or Jagger. But what about you? How the hell did you end up here?" Karen said untying Liam from the chair.
"This was stupid Karen. But I get it. They threatened Hannah. He said if I didn't help him he would take her and then kill you. I couldn't let him do that."
"He's ruthless." Karen said. "I shouldn't let him control my fear. Come hell or high water I am gonna get out of this. Can I trust you to help me Liam."
Liam just nodded as Ethan came back into the hotel room ending a phone call.
"Hey sweet heart. Sorry for the delay." He said touching her face as Karen slapped it away.
"I was on the phone with your father. He's happy you'll be coming home where you belong." Ethan smiled. "In the eyes of the lord I am your husband. You will be coming back to Utah with me. You will be an obedient wife. You will conceive me another daughter."
With Jon.
"Mr. Moxley we've tracked her phone to a motel a few blocks off the Vegas strip." Ridge told Jon as he was pacing the front living room.
"What the hell."
"Do you know who she would be meeting or any other information you could give us?" He asked.
"Her past." Jon growled.
"Her past?" Ridge questioned.
"She grew up the daughter of a cult leader. She's from Utah a cult/ polygamy family. When she was 17 she was promised to Ethan that sick son of a bitch. Her father's right hand stooge. He raped her and treated her like shit. So she left and came to Vegas. But recently he's been trying to contact her." Jon stated anger in his voice.
"You think that is who she met?"
Jon glanced over at Jagger who was playing in the other living room and watching his cartoons.
"Fuck if I know. I would hope she wouldn't be so dumb as to go in alone. Not now she's pregnant and who knows what the sick fucks will do."
Ridge's phone went off as he glanced at the screen.
"Confirmation. Her vehicle is there as well."
"What the hell are we waiting for let's go get her damn it." Jon said.
"I have a team there now. But we can't go in hot. We don't know what they are packing."
Jon signed so pissed off and full of emotion in this moment.
Back With Karen.
"Do you trust me?" Karen whispered to Liam.
Liam gave her a yes nod. As Karen stood up and walked over to Ethan.
"Ethan?" She said softly touching his back.
"Yeah?" He said.
"I'm sorry. I know I've strayed away from you, the lord and our way of life. I will repent to the father and my father upon returning home." Karen stated putting her hands behind her back and trying to reach for her purse
"You will fulfill your wifely duties including obeying me and conceiving me a child? You were never with child my child. After almost two years nothing. Then you just up and leave me. No warning in the dark of night sneak out of the home I built for us and a couple years later you have another mans son. That is the work of the devil." He said as he moved closer to Karen pinning her against the wall.
"I know I failed you. My body failed you. This time could be different."
"It will be different. You are mine Karen. I am taking you home where you belong." Ethan stated as he pressed his lips to Karen. She finally reached her bag.
"I am going home. But not with you!" She stated before Ethan knew what hit him. Karen sprayed the mace spray and sprayed him right in the eyes.
"AHHHHHH!" He screamed.
Karen pushed Ethan to the ground as he was screaming in pain rubbing his eyes. He reached out for her but couldn't see so he grabbed her leg making her fall to the ground.
She kicked and fought back finally getting to her feet.
"I am not going back to that hell. You come any where near me or my family again I will kill you where you stand." Karen stated before running out the door.
"Took ya long enough to use that damn mace." Liam chuckled.
"Shut up you were tied to a damn chair." Karen said as they reached the stairs she stopped. "Mmm" She whimpered softly touching her belly.
"Karen? You Alright? We gotta go now." Liam said.
"I know. Hmm I just need a minute." Karen said softly.
As they heard foot steps.
"Karen we gotta go now." Liam stated as they both started down the stairs again/
When the fresh air hit Karen she buckled over and was getting sick.
"Karen." Liam said looking around as he seen two men getting out of a black vehicle. "Shit who are they?" He asked.
Karen glanced over trying to get it together because she knew Walker and Ethan were coming after them.
"Karen Moxley?" one of them said.
"Who is asking?" Liam asked.
"My names is Don I work private security for her husband. You alright?" He stated.
"Jon." Karen signed softly. "Yes I just want to go home."
"Then let me get you home." Don stated.
Ethan, Walker and Lane came out of the motel just in time to see the SUV with Karen inside pull away. In not time Karen's phone buzzed.
"This isn't over." The text message read.
When they reached the Henderson home Karen got out before the car was in park and rushed inside. Jon was right there at the door to greet her he pulled her close to him and gave her a deep passionate kiss. Then he put his hands on her face. Tears streaming down he face.
"I am so pissed off at you! I love you but why the fuck would you do that? Huh? Did you not trust me enough to tell me? Karen what the fuck?" He said in his ruff husky voice before he kissed her forehead.
