It had been a few days since the affair of Zara and Roman had come to Seth's attention, the Iowan had yet to return to his own home instead he either stayed at Princess Mansion with the permission of Paige or he crashed at Dean and Renee's. He knew Zara would be at the house he was modifying, he had made it clear he didn't want to see or talk to her just as he didn't even want to hear Roman's name. He was still struggling to come to terms with why she had cheated on him and why Roman was the one she cheated with. At this moment in time he was at Dean and Renee moping around like he had done since finding out about the affair or at least when he wasn't on duty, Renee had been trying to think of things that would cheer him up, like Dean she had noticed the younger man's reaction when someone mentioned the raven haired princess.

"Come on buddy, lets go and get your things, you can stay here with me and Renee for as long as you need" spoke Dean walking into the living room, he watched Seth nod in thanks before getting up, hugging the blond woman as she entered the room. "Plus you've been wearing the same clothes for days, I'm pretty sure Paige is close to dragging you down town to get some new things" added the one they had named the Lunatic, he seen a hint of a smile appearing on Seth's lips at the mention of the girl both of them protected, if anything Dean knew Paige could probably bring him out of it, she had caught his attention after all, although the owner of a rather big illegal business she was kind and sweet to those around her as well as caring to those she loved. She was probably the perfect employer.

"I'm going to leave our business" whispered Seth when he entered the black SUV, he was slightly surprised when Dean didn't react in the way expected and instead smiled slightly like he understood why he wanted to leave it. "You were expecting me to say that weren't you?" asked Seth watching as Dean nodded as he started up the car reversing out of the drive way and heading in the direction of Seth's residents likely to be former residents. The drive there was quiet, while at a traffic light he got something from the glove compartment giving it to Seth to read over, as well as a pen to sign something at the bottom. "Legal Ownership?" questioned Seth not quite understanding it although he hoped Dean would explain it to him rather than let him pounder and drive himself mad trying to figure it out.

"Yeah, I know after the affair was revealed you wouldn't be able to trust Roman again, just as I knew you would say you were going to leave. So I spoke to Renee about it and together we decided I would leave as well, I realised through this I had lost trust in him too. I can't work with someone I can't trust wondering if he would do the same thing to me. I trust you and Renee with my life but I can't say the same thing for Roman any more. So if you leave then we both do" replied the Ohio native revealing he no longer trusted the Samoan they had been close friends with for so long, he had betrayed Seth in away that couldn't be forgiven and now neither wanted to work with the company. "If you sign that then you are signing your half of the company over to Roman, he will become the soul own of Shield" finished Dean revealing what signing the papers would do, he listened as Seth read through it before signing his name at the bottom next to Dean's.

"Thanks for sticking with me" replied Seth looking over to the blond man in the drivers seat, he knew he could count on Dean. "You know I thought we were crazy moving to Florida when the Brothers of Destruction were here, but in doing so we have learnt so much. Finn was actually protecting the true owner of the company he ran, what Zara and Roma were truly like and who we are as people, maybe one day I will find what you have with Renee" added Seth a smile on his lips at finding out who Paige really was and why she was a high priority for Finn, as well as who he was now he was once again on his own, just as he learnt who his true friend was out of his partners in crime. "Roman's here" breathed Seth sighing at the thought of having to come face to face with both of the people he didn't want to see let alone talk to.

"You've got me to support you. You just get your things I will give this to Roman, let him know in making the decision to hurt you he lost both of us" responded Dean patting the other man on the shoulder before both of them got out of the car and walked towards the front door, Seth using the key to enter the house seeing things were the same apart from some of the pictures hanging on the wall being different. Upon closing the front door both men were met with Zara and Roman coming from the living room. Dean's contentment turned to almost blazing rage at seeing the pair of them again although he was near enough ignore Zara was even there. Seth just tapped his chest before walking up the stairs and into the master bedroom, he could only sigh when he heard Zara following behind him.

"I'm sorry Seth" spoke Zara when she entered the room, watching as he moved around the room. Taking his clothes from the draws and wardrobe placing them in the cases he had pulled from the closet. He didn't bother replying to her as he knew it would be useless. "Are you at least going to acknowledge I'm here or are you just going to continue like you don't even know me?" asked the dark haired woman receiving his reply when he looked over and shook his head before walking into the bathroom to get his things from in there. He didn't want to be there any longer than he had to be, he just wanted to get his things, get out of there and never return to it. He didn't care what Zara did with it, she could burn it down for all he cared. "What are you doing?" asked Zara asking a question she already knew the answer to all she just wanted to hear it from him.

"You're not sorry if you were you wouldn't have done it in the first place" responded Seth not bothering to look up at the woman he thought was his match, he could see now just how wrong he was, she had stomped on his heart like it meant nothing to her. "As for what I'm doing, I getting my things and leaving, the place is yours I don't want to be in a place that reminds me of all the times you lied to my face, of all the times you stabbed me in the back. I don't want to be in the place that reminds me of you. I don't care what you do with it, you can burn it down for all I care because I never want to see you again and I definitely don't want to see Roman. Anywhere is better than here" spoke Seth finishing his packing and walking out the room with the cases, he didn't both listening to Zara when she called for him to stop and listen to her, he just carried on down the stairs and out the front door, putting the cases in the trunk of the SUV before returning knowing Dean had been waiting for him and staring daggers at Roman this whole time. "Alright I'm done" spoke Seth when he reached Dean's side to which Dean gave the papers to Roman. Both men leaving shortly after leaving Roman to look at the papers.

"What's that?" asked Zara tears in her eyes at the words Seth had spoke to her, she noticed he left his keys to the house on the table besides the front door, confirming he wasn't coming back and he had meant it when he told he didn't want to be there any more. She didn't know how to feel about that as it meant she was now the owner of a five bedroom house, she would have to pay the mortgage and other bills. Plus it was half finished with the decoration. How was she supposed to finish it, she didn't have any money or a job, she had pretty much relied and Seth for that kind of thing now he had left it to her without any way of paying for it or even caring what she did with the place. Roman soon looked up to her, quickly reading over it with a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach he was sure they had agreed the two of them together would run the business, he could handle it if it was the case so was horrified to learn it was the opposite of what he had been expecting.

"Ownership papers of our company. Both of them have transferred their third of the company to me. They left the company" responded Roman revealing he was now the soul owner of the company, he personally didn't know how he felt about that, he was used to getting things his own way but that took it to the extreme considering he was also used to Dean arguing back with him and Seth coming up with the plans to get them out of trouble. He was now completely alone, no Dean to give advice on the odd occasion and no Seth to get them out of trouble. "I lost their trust, because of the affair. Instead of them risking it they left the business to me, they walked away from it" added Roman revealing to Zara he was now the soul owner of the company and why the duo had left in the first place, it was now he had an overwhelming feeling of guilt for what he had done, not only had he been discovered but he had lost the two he considered his best friends and brothers, via that they had ceased being his business partners, they had left him to deal with this on his own. He was also starting to feel regret for the affair, if he hadn't done it then they wouldn't have walked away, yet he couldn't deny his love for the woman, no matter what the sacrifice he still loved her. She was his shining light.

"So Seth left the house to me with no way of paying for it and they both left the company to you and no longer your business partners" spoke Zara a questioning tone in her voice, she didn't understand it. Like Roman she had expected them to end their partnership with Roman where he wasn't part of the company any more yet they had done the opposite. "Why would they leave when they have nothing else?" asked Zara knowing from what Seth had told her in the past Shield was the only company they owned, they didn't have any side projects so they didn't have any way of earning the money or keeping the lifestyle they had come accustomed to over the years. All the luxury things they had would have to be given up. "Is there something we don't know about?" asked Zara hearing the knock on the door shortly after, when she answered it she seen a short man stood there, his ice blue eyes sending a shiver down her spine although she had noticed he was wearing a suit and his hair was neatly done.

"Come in Finn" called Roman, holding the papers he had been given by Dean to his side. Almost like he was trying to hide the truth of what had happened from the smaller Irishman. He had called Finn the day the affair came to light in hopes of gaining access to Princess Mansion merely so he could confront Seth about the break up he and Zara had gone through as well as some of the things she had told him, after all to he was sure the younger man needed a wake up call and a few lessons on how to be a good partner. "I wanted to ask you about the clearance I would need to enter Princess Mansion" spoke Roman when the pair of them and Zara was in the living to the house, although Finn had no idea what happened he knew it had effected Seth a fair bit due to Paige informing him he would be staying in the mansion for a while.

"Depends what you wanted the clearance for, to help with protecting Paige or for some other reason" replied Finn knowing he could only give clearance on those who were going there to protect the princess herself. Anyone else had to gain it from Paige who decided who was to come and go from the mansion. "If it's protecting Paige then I will put you through a bunch of tests and get you to find references so I know your trusted to be around her, if it's for something else then your gonna need to ask Paige herself, since it's her mansion she decides who comes and goes from it" continued Finn guessing by the way the hope faded from his eyes that it was something else thrust he would have to speak to the owner of the mansion. "I'll call her" finished Finn pulling out his phone and calling the mansion number, hearing Karl on the other end, "Hey Karl can you put Paige on please" asked Finn figuring it would be best to phone the woman in question rather make a decision for her.

"Hi Paige it's Roman" spoke Roman when Finn gave him the phone, he was hoping above all else she would grant him access to the mansion, he knew once he had the handprint recognition then he would be able to do as he pleased to get Seth to listen to him again and regain the trust he had lost due to the latest scandal. "I was wondering if you would grant me access to the mansion or at least have my handprint added to the database. I know Seth is there and it's the only way I can set things right and talk to him" added Roman putting his intentions out there, he soon passed the phone back to Finn hoping above all else she would agree to it, he knew if he was protecting her as well then he could talk to his brothers and get things sorted out, a few seconds later Finn hung up on the phone, his expression not giving anything away in terms of what was happening.

"She will allow you access to the house but I wont permit you to have twenty four hour access. The handprint recognition is for her and those who protect her. That way I know who has come and gone from the mansion. She will be there when you visit and someone will let you in" spoke Finn before getting up and leaving the house, figuring the younger Samoan had something to sort outside of his brothers not wanting to be around him. After all he had helped Dean get the papers needed to give Roman full control of the company. He knew whatever it was that had broken the trust between them wasn't going to be fixed as easily as the Samoan though it would be.

Back at Princess Mansion Seth and Dean had just arrived there after picking up Renee on the way. She had visited the mansion many times and had become close friends with the younger raven haired woman. Once again Dean was driving thankful for Paige for being there and allowing his broken hearted brother to stay there with her for a while, although she was unaware of it, her assistance and offer would help him more than anything else, something Punk was also aware of. After all he had seen the way his little brother had acted around the girl and how he smiled a little more when he realised he was her protect for an evening or when someone mentioned her name. There was just something about the raven haired one that could brighten Seth's mood up.

"Why are we here?" asked Seth noticing they had passed through the main gates to the mansion Paige currently called home, on the doorstep he noticed the young Brit was sat on the steps. She seemed to be enjoying the weather or was waiting for something. Either way he found it unusual as she was normally in the back garden if she was enjoying the weather. When Seth looked over to Dean he only seen the cheeky smile as well as hear Renee chuckle in the back seat, he knew from then on they had planned something, with whatever that was involving the raven haired woman. "Dean what have you done?" asked Seth both his nerves and his curiosity getting up, the nerves as they drew closer to the waiting English woman and the curiosity to see what his friend had gotten up to. He knew if this was Dean's attempt to distract him then it was working.

"I spoke to Finn the other day, as well as Paige. She told me she like having us, Punk and AJ around, so with that in mind I went to Finn and spoke about the idea of just one protector for Paige. He liked the idea and so did she, so we come up with the idea of you being that protector since you have more in common with her than the rest of us. In return she is allowing you to live in the mansion with her" replied Dean revealing what his secret talks with Finn were about, they were discussing what was best for Paige in terms of protectors. "She enjoys having you around as much as you like being around her. So from now on she is your mansion mate" added Dean revealing Paige had been kind enough to allow him to live there with her.

"That's why she is waiting outside" replied Seth watching as Dean carefully parked in the drive way, the older man nodding his head to the question as he exited the car. Both men watched as Renee and Paige hugged each other before entering the mansion. While Seth and Dean got the Iowan's things from the trunk taking them inside the mansion. Seth leading the way to the bedroom he had been using while he was there since he was normally the one to stay with her during the night. "Remind me to speak to Paige about joining her company, maybe she will feel more confident in taking over it with people she could trust around" added Seth, thinking since they had gave full ownership of Shield to Roman then they could work for Paige's company since they were aware she trusted them. It wasn't long before the duo entered Seth's room, Dean picking up on it being next to Paige's a small smile crept on to his lips.

"Seth, just tell her how you feel. Holding on to the past isn't going to help anyone" spoke Dean knowing if Seth had any chance to move on from what happened then he needed to let go of the past and look to the future that meant he had to let go of the hope Zara hadn't really done anything, he had Paige in front of him now, anyone could tell there was attraction between the two of them, well apart from Paige herself who had admitted she wouldn't know romance if it hit her in the face. "She's here in front of you, she hasn't done anything to hurt you only tried to help. Follow your heart buddy and go after her" added Dean encouraging Seth to go after Paige rather than fall back in to Zara's trap when she made some excuse up, he had been expecting the excuses to start at some point, after all it was no secret she relied on Seth for everything instead of working for the lifestyle she desired so much. Seth only nodded and smiled a little bit, knowing what Dean had said was true he did like Paige and wanted more than to be friends with her, she was different from others he had come across. When the duo got downstairs they were met with Roman standing in the hall looking around like he was trying to work out where something was.

"What do you want Roman?" asked Dean knowing from Paige giving them heads up he was coming, Renee had told Seth when they picked her up so he didn't have any nasty surprises. Roman held up the papers he was given earlier on still none the wiser of why they walked away from the company or what had made them decide to do it. "You want to know why, that's ironic because me and Seth were wondering why you were the one to go behind his back with Zara" added Dean knowing Roman wasn't expecting to be answering questions on what he done hence he wasn't prepared for it. "To answer your questions, Seth wanted to walk away because he couldn't trust you any more, he finally admitted it this morning. Where as I made the decision as soon as I caught you two together. You always wanted to be the one in charge of the company now you got it, your the only owner now" explained Dean answering the question on when they had decided to walk away and why, the lack of trust had destroyed their friendship, business partnership and brotherhood.

"Zara told me some things, she said you two would argue about the smallest thing, or you would accuse her of things, ignore her and neglect to tell her things" responded Roman revealing Zara had been telling him things. Dean looked to Seth knowing the things he hadn't told her were the same things he himself hadn't told Renee due to it being connected to the company and thrust could put her in life threatening danger, he also knew from experience the arguments weren't what they seemed. Seth just shook his head resisting the urge to punch the Samoan, showing their was lack of trust long before the affair had began, so in its own the affair had shown just how much Roman had thought when it come to him and just how well he really knew both Seth and Dean.

"Those arguments were caused when she kept accusing me of cheating on her, or when she got picky about how something looked, again she was the one accusing me of things. I wouldn't answer the phone when I was doing things for the company and she refused to listen to the reason as for not telling her things, they were things surrounding the company so she wouldn't be put in danger. Now you have the answers and showed just how much you know me, you can answer my question" replied Seth giving Roman the answer to the things Zara had told him, he had done those things to protect her, yet she never understood and instead accused him of cheating when it fact it was her who had been the player, she was the one who had gone behind his back. "What did I do to you? For you to stab me in the back and have an affair with Zara?" asked Seth seeing the way Roman looked at him. He knew Roman would probably make up something after all taking responsibility for his actions wasn't the Samoans strong point. "Guess you were right" spoke Seth to Dean before walking off, when Roman didn't answer his question, he had just entered the kitchen when he crashed into someone, both ending upon the floor.

"Sorry about that wasn't looking where I was going" came the English voice of Paige, a small smile on her lips as she got herself off the floor and held a hand out to help her new house mate up as well. "Good to know you accepted my offer of staying here, it will be nice to have the same protector and a friend I can talk to" added Paige before walking the way Seth come from the Iowan smiling slight before going after deciding now was as good as any to ask her about working for her company. Although he still had no idea what it was actually called. He knew Zara was in the mansion somewhere no doubt being jealous of what Paige had in comparison to what she did. He knew if the two ever met and Zara show her attitude off there was a good chance Paige would give back as good as she got. She seemed like someone who would say something back rather than sit there and take it.

"Hey Paige" called Seth chasing after the younger woman, coming to a stop just in front of where Zara, Roman, Dean and Renee were, he didn't care if Roman and Zara heard what he was going to say, they had made their points clear when they had an affair and didn't think he would find out about it. "I want to work for you company, be your protector or whatever else you need me to be. I gave up my third of Shield" added Seth seeing Dean smile at seeing the Iowan go after what he wanted starting by getting close to the girl in question, Renee too smiled at seeing this, at how he was willing to do whatever it took to be there for her. "Whatever the job, as long as I get to work for you I would be happy" finished the Iowan, a small smile on his lips when she nodded to his request, to which she looked over to Dean knowing from Renee he too had given up his third of the Shield like Seth had done.

"What about you Dean, do you want to work for me too?" asked Paige turning to the man in question, he looked surprised to say the least that she was offering to give him somewhere to work if he wanted it, he soon looked to Renee and nodded to her question. "Fair enough, both of you are assigned under Finn on the security detail, since you two are good at that. Where as Renee there is already the head of the house, as well as my advisor" continued Paige giving them a job she knew they could do with the security detail and revealing Renee was the person she had appointed one of the heads of house and her advisor when it come to things. Dean looked down to Renee seeing her innocent smile and realising that was what she was so excited about a few days prior. It was at that point Roman knew he had truly lost all chance he had to get the two to come back to the company, Zara however just looked at Paige with a disgusted look that she would grant the wishes of two people she seen as undeserving.

"Why am I not surprised" spoke Zara thinking Paige had left to return to where she was before so was slightly unnerved to see the raven haired woman standing in front of her, just looking at her like she was slightly asking her to continue. "You, a privileged girl who has everything ever wanted at her finger tips without having to lift a finger a day in her life. You don't deserve any of this. Then you had the nerve to give my ex a job when he just walked away from the one he had, just as you gave an unstable lunatic another place of employment, you'll regret. I regret every day I spent with both of them, neither of them can compare to Roman, I mean he is the best at everything, plus he lives up to what he says" finished Zara thinking she was above everything and everyone around her. Paige just smiled and giggled a little bit before slapping Zara around the face, the fury in her eyes burning brightly, Seth quickly grabbed hold of the younger woman before she could do any more damage. Roman to grabbed hold of Zara but not before she got a handful of Paige's raven hair.

"You can say what you want about me, I don't care. As for Seth and Dean I would trust them with my life, clearly I'm not the privileged on here" responded Paige in a rather clam manner considering she was near enough in a cat fight with the other dark haired woman, Renee held the front door open while Dean directed the duo of Zara and Roman out, knowing they wouldn't be able to re-enter through the black glossed door without someone opening it for them due to neither of them having a code or handprint in the database. Seth let go of Paige after, surprised to say the least he hadn't expected that reaction from the young Brit or for her to stand up for him and Dean, although he was rather proud to hear she would trust both men with her life if the time should ever call for it.

"Remind me not to get on your bad side, especially if that is your first reaction" spoke Dean an amused smile on his lips which only got bigger when she looked over to him, putting her hair back in place a smile soon coming to her own lips. "You know you would be brilliant when or if you take over leadership. I can guarantee no one would mess with you, they'd be too scared your unpredictable something that's helpful in this business" added Dean knowing if and when she took control of the company it would no doubt go in a different direction, no doubt in a better one than it was at the moment, he could see her expanding the company to different areas so it had more to offer the clients. It wasn't long before the older man looked over to Seth seeing the way he was looking in the direction Paige had walked off in, as well as listening to Zara shouting through the door and Roman banging on it to be let back in again, not likely to happen though, it was about time he figured things out for himself rather than relied on him and Seth to do it for him. "Don't do anything stupid, I have a feeling if you do she wont forgive you for it" added Dean before patting Seth on the shoulder and leaving to join Renee in the living room, she was looking out the window and watching the pair as they tried to re-enter the mansion much to her amusement.

"Paige" spoke Seth when he bung on her bedroom door, upon hearing her voice he entered the room, noticing it had changed a little bit, with the neutral bedding being swapped for a black simple one, complete with purple and silver cushions to break the black up a little bit. He walked up behind her as she was on the balcony looking over the front garden as well as watching the duo at the front door, she could see oncoming vehicles as they entered through the gates from where she stood. When he finally got to her, he gentle placed his hand on her shoulder turning her around to face him before she could say anything he quickly leant down and pressed his lips to hers, pulling away shortly after to see the stunned expression on her pale features, clearly she wasn't expecting anything like that. That being further backed up when she slowly lifted her hand to touch her lips and looked over to where he stood still with the same stunned expression painted on her features.

"Was it not you who told me to expect the unexpected" whispered Seth in her left ear as she come to stand next to him, a smile on his lips when she playfully punched him in the arm, a smile coming to her own painted lips shortly after. He was surprised things weren't awkward between them after if anything she seemed more comfortable around him just as he did around her. Like he was meant to be there with her, maybe Dean was right, if he followed his heart then he could find what he had been searching for, for so long. Maybe he could find that one special person that was out there waiting for him although he was aware Punk, AJ, Dean and Renee were convinced that special someone was the woman standing next to him looking down at the two who were still tempting to get through the securely locked front door.

"Are you going to let us back in so we can solve this?" asked Roman, looking up to see Paige and Seth leaning on the black metal railings between the stone pillars, Zara too followed suite with looking up when she heard Roman talking, seeing the same sight he had, only with Seth smiling about something. The duo on the balcony only looked at each other before Paige shook her head in reply to the question hearing the disappointed and frustrated sigh that escaped from Roman. Seth knew the man had met his match when it come to Paige, he was used to getting it his own way and Paige was stubborn to the point she wasn't going to give in to what he wanted so easily if ever. It wasn't long before the Iowan lead the one he had kissed a few minutes prior back into the bedroom making sure to lock the bedroom door before continuing on with what he had in mind.
