"She knows" spoke Mark, turning around to see his wife standing there a confused expression on her features most likely wondering who it was ringing them at almost six in the morning, the concern there as well considering the solanum look on his features, it only meant Paige had discovered something she was never meant to. Michelle was all to aware there were many things he had hidden from her, always saying it was to protect her from his past. He knew the true reason why she had been hunted throughout the years but never once tried to tell her, instead he kept it from her. "She knows her mother is dead, someone told her" continued Mark revealing to Michelle, someone had informed his oldest daughter of the true fate her mother had endured, although he could never bring himself to tell her the worry he now had for Paige.

"She was going to find out sooner or later, you know she would have" responded Michelle, knowing Paige was a smart young lady, she would have stumbled across the truth sooner rather than later. "You will just have to accept she's going to be angry you never told her the truth, but you also know she will come to see why you never told her eventually, she will come home" added the blond woman, realising there was a high chance the raven haired girl wouldn't want to come home at the moment, she was probably feeling as if her whole life with her father was a lie at this point. "She will come home once she has found who she is again" finished Michelle knowing from her husband's expression there was more Paige didn't know and probably something she herself didn't know.

"It was no accident Paige was the one attacked six years ago. They knew who she was, the people who sent them after didn't realise how important she is. Every day since I left the business I have been trying to protect her from the truth, to keep her hidden and safe" replied Mark revealing it wasn't a coincidence his daughter was attacked and almost killed back then, although he knew they were unaware she was his daughter they had attacked her because of who her mother was and what she had inherited at the time of her mother's death all those years prior. "Her mother was Saraya Knight, we never married but Paige was her only child, when she died Paige inherited everything, an entire illegal business, millions, at least three mansions everything Saraya owned went to Paige. She is by birth the owner of one of the biggest illegal business in the world" explained Mark, revealing he had hidden his daughter's true heritage from her and everyone around them, only Kane was aware of what she had inherited.

"You have to tell her. Before something happens. She has already found out her mother was killed in a sniper attack. Do you want her to find that out the same way?" spoke Michelle, horrified to learn her step daughter had been the target of multiple assassination attempts because of what she had unknowingly inherited when she was so young. "You put her in more danger by not telling her the truth, you took away her right to choose what she wanted to do. I know you were trying to protect her but you should have told her the truth when she was old enough to know, at least that way she would have been prepared for them to come after her. All this time you let her believe they were after her because she was your daughter, when it was because of this and what she unknowingly owns" continued Michelle forcing him to see the error of his ways, by not telling her he had put her in more danger, made it easier for the people hunting her to get her. Although she wouldn't know anything if they asked about it, it still wasn't the point.

"If I tell her I will lose her. I don't want to lose her, she's all I have left of her mother. She's all that remains of Saraya" responded Mark, revealing he was aware he would lose her either way, if he didn't tell her and something happened he would lose her that way. If he did tell her the truth on why they were really after her, then there was a chance she would go away and never return. Either way he knew her hatred for him would grow. "Either way I lose her, I don't think I could handle not seeing my princess again. I did this to protect her" added Mark, almost like he was trying to convince himself he was doing the right thing by not telling her. Even when he knew she deserved to know the truth. He knew there was someone out there who already knew who she was, besides Jeff Jarrett. He knew someone else had to know, the attackers six years prior they weren't sent by anyone he recognised, neither he or Kane had heard of the name they had said was their employer.

Back at the Shield head quarters, Finn had arrived with Luke, Karl and AJ. Each knowing from the two bodies on the floor and the call they had received from Roman something had happened, they knew it was serious if they were willing to team with them to keep her safe. Finn stepped over the two bodies noticing both of them had taken a single bullet to the head, he knew this wasn't the work of either of the Shield boys, after all they preferred the more hands on way, especially Dean who had been known to get himself into fights with his enemy before hand, Roman on the other hand preferred to keep his hands clean and use a gun, but normally with him there was at least three shots.

"What happened?" asked Finn, he knew as did his demons who had done this. The single bullet to the head in the execution style was ominousness with the Wyatt Family. "Is she okay?" quickly added Finn almost as if he was afraid of something. He knew he was the only one there to know who Paige really was and what she inherited when her mother was killed. Just as he knew when she found out she would also work out he hadn't revived her father's business but used his tactics to hide who it really belonged to. Dean looked up upon hearing the Irish accent, it was near enough unmissable to those who knew him, a small smile appearing on his features at seeing how worried the one who had stayed undetected by Mark Calaway for so long was about Paige.

"She's fine, Seth is with her upstairs, a minor injury to her left arm when she was trying to get someone's attention. The Wyatt's actually helped us out, the got to her and hid her before these two did" responded Dean, revealing the Wyatt's had only protected her from the two lying dead on the lobby floor, as well as informing the group of four she had suffered a minor wound to her arm when she knocked over the picture frame in Seth's room. "Oh they also told her the truth about her mum, she phone her dad who confirmed it" added Dean seeing the concern appear in the eyes of Finn to learn she knew the truth on what really happened to her mother. Dean knew something wasn't right although he highly doubted any of them would get a straight answer if they asked.

"Is something wrong?" asked Punk also noticing the concern to come to Finn's eyes upon learning Paige was now aware her mother was indeed dead. AJ looked to Finn where as Luke and Karl checked for any sort of ID on the pair who had been sent to eliminate her, curious to see who had sent them in the first place. They had both guessed it was someone unknown due to the two of them also being unknown to any of them. Although they were curious to know if the Wyatt's had something to do with them since they were quick to execute and silence the duo. Finn just shook his head seeing the way Punk, Dean and AJ looked at him, he knew AJ was aware of what he was concerned for, just as he knew the remaining two and Roman had no clue what they had inadvertently got themselves into.

"What else does she know?" asked Finn in response, seeing the suspicious looks directed towards him from Roman in particular, he knew Roman didn't trust him all that much, just as he knew the only reason why Roman had called him was because he had sent two of his own to protect her, making it one of the highest priorities. "Alright I'm going to tell you something but you have to promise me you wont tell her, she has to find out this out on her own, in her own time" added Finn revealing there was more Paige wasn't aware of, he watched as Dean nodded as did Punk, noticing Roman looked as if he was arguing with himself whether or not to agree to the terms of being told. He knew whatever it was had to be important, especially if Finn was asking if she knew of it. The Samoan soon nodded although rather reluctant to do so.

"Her mother was Saraya Jackie Knight, when she died Paige got everything, money, estates, cars, jewels, and the biggest illegal business in Europe possible the world. She doesn't know about any of it, her dad never told her" spoke AJ explaining Paige was by rights one of the richest people in their business, her mother had set a saving account off for her when she was born, unknown to the twenty five year old she had everything she could ever want at her finger tips. "That's why so many people have gone after her, they don't care her dad isn't coming back, well most of them don't. They know she is the owner of that business, she is one of the most powerful there is. Even more powerful than the McMahon's and Evolution combined. The ones hunting her either want to eliminate her or work for her, most of them have been sent by someone else to kill her" explained AJ, seeing the look on their faces, he knew that was probably the last thing they were expecting to hear, the girl they had hoped to gain the trust of was actually more than capable of protecting herself, although she wasn't aware of it.

"I took control of the business a couple of years ago, when I found Paige others who were hunting her had already beat me. I managed to help her then and have used what I have to protect her. Everyone in my trusted circle knows she is the true owner of the company. She knows I know more than I'm letting on, I used her father's way of hiding things so only she would figure it out. When she is ready or when she wants it, I will give her what is rightful hers and stay to keep her safe" added Finn revealing the business he ran actually belonged to Paige, the one her mother had began all those years ago. He had used things that only she would recognise. "I failed to protect her then, but I refuse to again. The Wyatt's or at least one of them know who she is, they wont harm her not when most of their power comes from her business" finished Finn revealing the at least one of the Wyatt's knew who she was and would keep an eye on her much like he had done over the years.

"You kept it going so she got what her mother left" whispered Dean realising Finn had only taken control until Paige was ready for it. Finn nodded at the statement Dean had made. "So Paige is the Princess of the Empire, now it makes sense. How much does she actually know?" added Dean, curious on how much the poor girl actually knew, he knew she was aware her mum was dead, although it appeared she didn't know her mums identity or what she had inherited when she was just a toddler. He could understand why Finn had taken control, she was way to young to have that kind of responsibility. He also knew Paige was likely to be the key to ending the war between The Shield, Wyatt's and Evolution although he doubted Evolution would back down that easily, for the time being they were the most powerful ones out there. If Paige did take her rightful place they would dethroned rather quickly.

"She doesn't, she was three years old when everything happened. Her dad has kept it hidden from her ever since. He actually made it his personal mission to get rid of all illegal business so she wouldn't find out. He blames himself for what happened to Saraya back then, so to protect their daughter he took her away from it and hid the truth in hopes she would be safer and grow up like any normal child" responded Karl, he could remember when he was first put in charge of protecting her with Luke, the two always called her Princess. She had gotten used to it although she didn't know they were calling her that because of everything she owned and by rights she was also their boss.

"So how are we going to protect her?" asked Punk, he knew they had to do something. It was unlikely the raven haired girl his brother was keeping a close watch on was going to be able to protect herself considering she had no idea who she really was. He also knew if Evolution found out then they would use all at their disposal to get rid of her as quickly as they could, knowing she would be a huge threat to the power hey had gained over the years. Especially Stephanie, the one thing she couldn't bare to lose was her power. "We know if Evolution find out who she is or even where she is then they wont stop until they get what they want" added Punk knowing all to well if they found her then she would be in even more danger than before.

"Find a place and hide her would be the best option. One of the mansions she inherited. Someone stay with her until we know the threat has been eliminated, if she wants to go out then one or two go with her so she has the protection needed if something happens. I would say tell her what she inherited way back then but that's not on the table at the moment" spoke Dean throwing his ideas out there although he had noticed Roman was unusually quiet, something that was pretty unsettling to him. He noticed Roman was looking to the top of the stairs, when shaggy haired man looked around he seen Seth at the top of the stairs, clearly having heard the conversation, although how much of it was unclear. Dean offered him a small smile, watching as he slowly made his way down the stairs, glancing at the two dead assassins from earlier in the morning.

"Or option two, we separate ourselves from this. We don't have the fire power to protect her. There's nothing we can do without getting ourselves into more danger than we already are. If we do this we run the risk of Shane finding us. He has been after us for years, helping here will make the probability higher" responded Roman, putting his opinion out there. He knew at least Seth was going to argue with him on that one, the attachment he had to her was plain for anyone to see. Especially when he was the one to go after her when the two broke in, the Wyatt's left her with him. The look he was receiving from Seth screamed he didn't agree and nor was he going to, especially when someone was in that much danger.

"I'm not leaving her, she is in more danger than we are and your suggestion is to walk away and act like we don't know anything" replied Seth standing at the foot of the stairs looking directly at Roman the other side of the small circular table in the lobby of the mansion. "When did you become so cold, where you would leave someone who clearly needs our help to fend for themselves. You heard Finn, she doesn't know about any of this. How could you be so cruel to suggest we just leave her on her own, knowing there's a chance she wont live to see her next birthday?" questioned the dark haired Iowan, curious as to when his close friend had changed to the point he wouldn't even bother trying to protect someone who was more in need of it. He knew he wasn't going to get an answer when Roman looked away from him and to the polished wooden floor under his boots. "Where is the closest mansion she owns?" asked Seth this time directly to Finn, the smaller Irish man quickly wrote down an address on a piece of scrap paper along with a four digit code, handing the piece of paper to the one known as the Architect.

The group watched as Seth took the paper with a nod of thanks, turning on his heels shortly after and returning the to staircase. Dean turned to look at Roman, beginning to question when his brother had changed so much. Like Seth had done just moment before hand. Seth had re-entered the bedroom Paige was staying in, seeing her still sleeping on the far side of the bed a small soft smile appearing on his features at seeing her so peaceful, especially after everything that had happened over the hours since they had met. With a prang of guilt Seth walked over to her side of the bed gently shaking her until she woke up. He knew she would be safer in one of her own mansions, knowing Finn there was a high probability he had been planning for her to go into hiding so had everything she would need in the mansion waiting and ready for her.

"Sorry to wake you, going to take you to a safe house. It's not that far from here. That way the events from this morning wont repeat itself. Its all ready for you" whispered Seth, listening as she took a sleepy long breath before beginning to move. "You can change when you get there, since we haven't got anything for you here" added Seth watching as she nodded in reply, wiping the sleep from her eyes and yawning. Seth held out his hand to her, feeling as she gently placed her own smaller hand in his allowing him to lead her from the room and the mansion in general. He was at least thankful she trusted him enough to go with him even when they hardly knew each other. "I'll stay with you, until it's all over" finished Seth reaching the top of the stairs moments later, seeing Punk was no longer in the lobby neither was AJ. The two bodies had also disappeared. Dean also seemed to have gone, where as Finn was content on giving Roman the evils.

"I'll send someone to keep watch from a distance Paige. Just like always" spoke Finn when he noticed she and Seth were at the top of the stairs. He was thankful Seth and Dean were willing to help protect her but he was also rather distrustful of Roman, he had refused to help but also had valuable information on her, something that could be dangerous in the wrong hands. "Dean has gone to get Renee, they will meet you there, AJ and Punk are clearing up the mess" added Finn when Seth got the bottom of the stairs, the younger Iowan nodded signalling he had heard Finn's words. The four remaining watched as Seth picked Paige up bridal style when they reached the double door entrance, making sure her bare feet didn't touch the cold stone paved ground outside the front door, instead he opted to carry her to the car, hearing the small giggle to escape her lips.

The two soon drove away from the mansion being used as the headquarters. As they did Seth began to wonder, what Paige would be like if she knew the truth on what she had inherited, if she took control of the business that was rightfully hers. He was kind of intrigued by it, she was one of the most powerful people in their line of business and didn't even know it. Her mum had left her with everything she would need to live comfortably, from a business to run, places to call home and transport, she had everything but the knowledge of the truth. He could almost imagine what kind of person she would be to work for, a tough but fair leader, making sure she had all the facts and information needed to make an informed decision about something, making sure her employee's knew where they stood and had everything they needed. He could also imagine the punishments she had would be brutal but fair, to make sure no one betrayed her.

"Welcome home" spoke Seth after the ten minute drive in complete silence, the air conditioning and radio in the car being the only things to make a noise. The sun rising in the blue cloudless sky, another normal day in Florida. He could see the confusion in Paige's eyes when he said welcome home, he knew eventually someone would explain that to her, probably when she finally discovered what had been hidden away and almost denied to her for over twenty years. "I'd love to see someone try and break into this place. There's not a security system like it, all outside door are locked with hand print recognition and a four digit code, emergency services would be alerted within seconds of someone entering without the proper codes, and your own security team when you pick it will be alerted instantly if someone entered without authorisation" added Seth signalling for her to place her hand on the pad near the door, he had figured Finn had already added her to it, since he had clearly been planning on hiding her away sooner or later. He soon clicked the code into the number pad watching as the light shone green and a beep could be heard as the front door unlocked and opened allowing the pair access.

"Wow" was all Paige could muster upon seeing the grand interior, the staircase was a work of art with the wood and metal decoration, the chandelier in the centre of the hall looks as if it was made of diamonds or some clear jewels. Even Seth seemed stunned to see what it looked like. Especially when he could hear trickling water coming from the back of the house. He knew Finn had kept each mansion updated and in working order ready for when she finally took her rightful place, it was clear he didn't use this one but planned to keep her hidden there, it had everything she could possible need there. "This is amazing" whispered Paige as she walked around the ground floor in awe at what she was seeing, the Gothic decorations in each room from candle sticks to picture frames, all of it had been done to her taste.

"Looks like Finn didn't spare anything when it come to doing this place. You even have your own water park" spoke Seth upon rejoining her in the kitchen, he pointed towards the sliding glass doors to the right where the swimming pool was, there the two could see at least three water slides, each a different height and probably different speed. "Welcome home princess" added Seth knowing this was hers even when she didn't realise it, he watched as she smiled slightly, a blush coming to her cheeks when she heard that name. Normally it didn't bother her but there was something about how Seth had said it that made her blush. Maybe it was just being alone with him in a place neither of them knew. It wasn't long before the house phone began to ring, Finn's name popping up to which Paige pressed a button, noticing it appeared to be on loud speaker or on a speaker system of some sort.

"Hey Paige, when I get there later on I have something to tell you. It's something you should have known from the beginning. To be honest I should have told you when we first met but I couldn't bring myself to do it, especially when I realised your dad hadn't told you or even mentioned it" spoke Finn, Seth realising he was going to tell her she owned everything in the mansion as well as two others like it. "Okay, should I be worried?" asked Paige responding to the man who had been bent on protecting her for the last six years or so, she never really thought she was of high importance but she was beginning to realise that wasn't the case. "No nothing to worry about, it will answer your question on why some of us call you princess and why so many are hunting you. It's about time someone told you the truth. You deserve that much" replied Finn revealing it was something that had been hidden from her for a while, and was the reason why so many had been hunting her. "Okay, see you when you get here" spoke Paige before hearing him say goodbye and hang up the phone, Seth could see she was curious on what he had to tell her.

"Want to explore this place? Might as well see what other hidden gems we can find. And maybe we can find your room so you can change from my Day to Remember t-shirt and the shorts" asked Seth watching as she looked down at her attire, the t-shirt reaching the top of her thighs like it was a short dress on her, the shorts however were a few size too big and looked more like an ill fitting skirt on her, although the colours matched since both were black. Paige nodded to the request quickly running off to the stairs and opting to silently challenge Seth to a race, something the older man clearly picked upon since her began to chase her mere seconds later, catching her with a warm smile half way up the stairs, that smile only getting bigger at hearing her chuckle.

"So which way left or right?" asked Paige, looking up to the dark haired man who had caught her and accepted her childish challenge. The way he looked at gave her the sense of safety as well as a warm fuzzy feeling. She knew she would be safe with him, although something about that scared her. Seth looked both sides of the hallway, seeing both of them look similar, each room having a double door entrance to it, making the lucky person to stay in there feel all that more special and important. It wasn't long before he pointed to the right noticing all the doors were white glossed wood with diamond like door handles, there was a wall light outside each door on either wall to light up the hallway a little more. The two crept down the small landing, opening each door and looking inside as they went, each picking up of the flowing curtains and light décor of each room.

"I think I found your room" spoke Seth although it sounded as if he was shouting, the quietness made his voice boom down the landing like he was shouting at her from the other side of the mansion when in truth she was only a few meters away from him. When she reached where he was standing he opened the door wider so she could see inside. The queen size bed was the feature of the room, made of a black polished wood with a purple feature wall behind it, the silk throw on the bed making it feel like a five star hotel. "You got your own walk in wardrobe and on suite. Even got a balcony which over looks the landscape outside" added Seth, figuring the room they were in was the master bedroom, it had a rather generous size flat screen TV on the wall in front of the bed and breath taking views. Fit for the princess she was.

"So which rooms yours?" asked Paige, knowing from his earlier statement he had no intention of leaving her alone. She was going to be stuck with him until he deemed it was safe for her to be on her own again. Seth smiled and signalled for her to change, to which she once again looked at her attire and smiled, nodding before going to raid her wardrobe, making a mental note to thank whomever had stocked it as they had done a good job with her style. When she reappeared she was wearing a black crop top with torn skinny jeans and a pair of flip flops. "How do I look" spoke the raven haired woman when she finally appeared from the bathroom, Seth eye's grew a little wider upon seeing her. He had seen her glammed up in an evening gown and dressed down in some of his clothes now he got to see her in her ideal casual wear, he liked what he was seeing, especially how she wasn't afraid to show off her body or show she was comfortable in her own skin. The two soon walked from the large room, although Seth already knew which room he wanted to stay in. something he made obvious when he walked with her a few feet and then stopped outside the white glossed door. A smile on his lips at seeing a small one appear on hers when she realised he would be close by in case she needed anything.
