"He's a criminal, are you really going to let your oldest daughter marry a man who is known to have dipped his hands in that kind of thing? Not to mention you arrested him a while back" asked Michelle almost outraged her step daughter had said yes to marrying the man who had asked her, although she had only met him that one time three years prior she knew he had his hands in the illegal side of things. It scared her to think Paige could trust let alone love someone who had been in that kind of business. Crystal looked over to the woman in question curious to know what she seen wrong with it when both Michelle and herself had married men and had children by two whom were in that kind of business.

"You married me, even when you knew what I had previously done. Even when you knew the type of man I had once been" responded Mark showing Michelle she too had married someone who had dipped his hands into breaking laws around the world for profit. "He makes her happy Michelle, for the first time since everything blew up she is truly happy, I'm not going to destroy that or lose her again by making the same mistakes twice. If this is what she wants then she has my support, even if I don't agree with her running Knight's Raven" continued the father of two, a small smile on his lips as he remembered when she had began to trust him again by writing the letter, although it had also informed him she would never return to living in Orlando. "I refuse to have a helping hand in destroying her happiness again" finished Mark revealing he would rather let her do as she wished than losing altogether despite knowing her running the business could result in that.

"She has the best protection. The mansion she calls home has a state of the art security system. No one will get close to her unless she wants them too. If they wanted to do her harm they would have to get through a near impenetrable mansion which has flexi and bullet proof windows, hand print recognition and coded entrances and blast proof interior. Those mansions could stand a nuclear blast. Not to mention the security team around the place and the little security hub. No one is gonna get near her without someone noticing and stopping them" spoke Kane revealing just how protected his niece was and why he was okay with Emma and Summer going to visit as often as they did. "She allowed me to take a look at the security the mansions have. To say Saraya thought of everything for her princess really is the understatement" added Kane a small smile creeping over his lips as he thought of how safe those who called the mansion home were.

"That's different. You had already left the business by then, you were trying to raise your daughter the best you could as a single parent. Seth hasn't left that business behind, nor does it seem to me like he wants to" responded Michelle revealing in her mind the two men were very different, her husband had already left the illegal business he once ran and that entire life behind him, Seth on the other hand was still very much involved in that kind of business and life style. Yet neither her husband or her brother in law seemed realise he was more dangerous to Paige than anyone else, she worried what would happen if he decided one day he wanted control of the company and killed Paige himself to gain what he wanted the most.

"Is it different. Love is love, for the first time in so long she is happy, yet you stand here making the same mistakes as Mark made years before hand. Did you learn nothing from what happened. She's not a child any more. She trusts Seth and those around her then that's good enough for me. Plus it was as clear as anything to see he loves her as much as she loves him" replied Crystal saying what she could see and also knowing what would happen. She wouldn't be able to stand it losing her niece again, just as she doubted Mark or Kane would be able to handle losing her again because of the actions of another. It was clear both of them had learn from their past mistakes and would now do anything to make sure she knew the truth and was as safe as she could possible be.

"They've never hurt her. The one who did stayed behind to help despite knowing his life was at risk. He also told the truth on what happened and who his true target was. Through his attempt to protect the people he loves he ended up hurting her" came the voice of Summer revealing she and Emma had stayed behind when they other returned to the hotel, or at least that was what they thought, they soon learnt other wise when they seen the group standing there together. Although they had noticed the Samoan was missing. Crystal could only smile upon seeing the group, if she didn't know any better she would say they were family rather than a group of friends. Her smile only grew when she seen the couples of the group stood together the boys keeping their partner close so no one could take them away and making sure they were protected against anything that could pose a threat to them.

"I have no intention of hurting Paige, just like none of these guys are going to hurt the person they love the most. We will do whatever it takes to protect them, even if that means leaving them behind" spoke Seth revealing no matter what he loved Paige and would do all in his power to make sure she was happy and safe even if that meant letting her go so she could find another who could give her the happiness she desired. He was however determined to give her that happiness she had been looking for, he knew she wanted someone to love her and to become a mother having her own little family, just as he was well aware she just wanted to help those who called her boss and saw her as family, just as she preferred to be call friend rather than boss.

"Look after her and you have my blessing. Just let us know when the wedding is and the venue and will be there" replied Mark giving his blessing and allowing his oldest daughter and the one in which had been born a princess to marry the man who had stood by her side and did all in power to make sure she was safe since he had met her. As a father he couldn't ask for more than someone who would be there for her when she needed it most. He just hoped Kaia too would also find someone who treated her as Seth had treated and loved Paige over the years. "I can see you make her happy just as you love her. Just please keep my princess safe and protected no matter what" added Mark allowing them to leave although he noticed both Summer and Emma stay behind, almost like they were spending some time with their parents before deciding whether to go back to Tampa with the others or follow along a few days after.

Elsewhere in Orlando, those who worked for Evolution had been doing their best to keep those who were employed by TNA or Impact as they now called themselves attention away from the formal event that was happening at the city hall and off those who ran Knight's Raven. Stephanie and Hunter had quickly figured Jeff and Karen Jarrett were going to try and eliminate Paige at some point just as they knew they had a mole in their midst, after all their wasn't any other explanation for how the Jarrett's knew of their sensitive and secret information or about the planning they had been doing without someone in their ranks telling them or passing on that particular information.

"So what are we going to do to flush out this mole?" asked Stephanie wondering what they could possible do to find the identity of the mole and get rid of them before any more information was leaked to their enemy. On the phone was Paige, Seth and Dean, along with Corey and Finn all of which had helped them so far since they had made an alliance. It was rather clear to Stephanie and Hunter that neither of them trusted Roman either at the moment although they couldn't tell if that was for work reasons or for personal ones. "Whomever it is, is giving the Jarrett's all the information we have on you lot as in Knight's Raven and also about the mansions you had around the city. Although lucky enough we didn't record where you current location" added Stephanie thankful none of them had gotten around to that as she was sure there would have been a lot of danger heading the way of those who Jarrett had targetted years prior and a hefty reward for the mole who had given them the information.

"Round up everyone who used to work for Jarrett's band of goons, interrogate them one by one, if you don't think that worked them call them back again one at a time and tell them something different. Whichever piece of information gets the Jarrett then you will know who your mole is" responded Finn giving them a few ideas and the quickest way to get the mole, he had already figured it was someone who worked for Jarrett before, as the others did have a reason to go to the man nor would they know how to contact him let alone actually find his hiding place. "As soon as you find out who it is let us know. I would like a personal meeting with them, see if they want to continue passing on sensitive information when I'm done with them" finished Finn, he knew the people around him would understand what he meant and what he had in mind to make the poor double agent think twice.

"I would suggest finding out what sort of information Jarrett wants first. Then when it comes to tell each one something different it will be believable. Use something to do with us, that should gain his attention" added Dean quickly figuring out there was a high chance that Jarrett and his band of goons were once again after Paige, after all why else would he move his entire band from Tennessee to Orlando. The only reason any of them could think of was to finish what he had started years prior and apparently unaware she was not about to be victimised again or about her alliance with Evolution. "We'll do what we do best over here and protect the princess along with finding out their secrets. I'm sure Paige has a trick or two up her sleeve" added Dean making it known what it would be like over their end, after all Evolution were no strangers to what she could do as most of them had ended up behind bars from being outsmarted by her.

"Okay, thank you and congratulations on your engagement Seth and Paige. Sending our best to you" spoke Hunter in reply and congratulating the recently engaged couple. He had heard about it from his own employees who had gone to the event, just as Stephanie was happy to see being in the illegal business hadn't stopped some of them from finding their happiness. He wondered if any of his own ones besides those who had already found their happiness would go on the journey to find their own. He knew Randy had already found his in Kim, as had some of the others in Batista, even Heath had found his although he was aware there were some who didn't like the idea of finding someone to settle down with, seeing it more as a bad idea due to putting others they may love in danger. It wasn't long before they heard the beep of the phone to signal the ones on the other end of the line had hung up to return to their own business.

"How many have we got here that used to be employed by Jarrett?" asked Stephanie, she knew there was a few of them such as ECIII, Kurt Angle, Bobby Roode, Rodrick Strong and off course Samoa Joe who worked under her brother, she also knew there was some who worked for Knight's Raven just as she knew it couldn't have been any of them due to the information being leaked was that of Evolution rather than Knight's Raven. "Call them all in, we will do what Finn suggested and given them all a random pieces of information, whichever one gets to Jarrett then that's the one we interrogate" added Stephanie going with the idea the one known as the Demon King had suggested.

"That means we will have to give them made up pieces of information to do with Knight's Raven. It will put them at risk especially if someone is using the mansion you have written down, although I will admit those mansions are like impenetrable fortresses" responded Hunter knowing they would be risking the safety of those they now had an alliance with, although he knew it was also their idea he still didn't want to hurt any of them as he had once done. He didn't even want to think how they would respond in retribution now, especially after what happened the last time when the young owner of their former rival company had responded to their constant attacks. "But I also know we don't have any choice, if we don't do it then all information we have is going to be leaked to Jarrett including our plans for him, either way we could be caught in the middle of a deadly war, especially if Jarrett and his band of goons happen to be successful in during Paige out of her hiding place and in to an open field" finished Hunter realising there was no other choice for what they had to do, although he had made it rather clear he didn't like the idea especially when Paige was the only one keeping them out of prison at the moment.

"Send them a message and get them to question Roman as well. He had access to the information currently being leaked. If he is the mole then they be in more danger than they realise" came the voice of Shane as he re-entered the office, it had dawned on him while he had gone to fetch a coffee top up that Roman had been with them and had access to all of the information currently being leaked, just as there was a chance he now had access to information regarding what Knight's Raven were up to or even the security plans in place. He had a feeling Roman wouldn't have access to such information especially when it concerned the safety of the one they called Princess.

At the hotel Dean and Renee went to the balcony of the room, deciding to spend some quiet time together before returning to the city and mansion they called home, AJ and Punk had decided to challenge each other to complete the jigsaw puzzle they had started the night before despite it being in the late hours of the night. Where as Summer and Emma were spending the night with their parents and would return to them in the morning if they were going to be joining them on their journey back to Tampa. Zarah on the other hand had settle for looking at pictures of her son whom she knew she would be returning to the following morning, Finn had decided to allow Becky to return to her own hotel room where as he return to his own with his demons but making sure the others were where they were supposed to be. Seth and Paige however returned to their own room, Seth being a romantic and attempting to carry Paige bridal style up their stairs much to her amusement and of those who had spotted what he was up to.

"So soon to be Mrs Rollins how are you feeling?" asked Seth his everlasting smile still placed on his lips as he looked over to the woman who had stolen his heart and point blank refused to give it back, but had given her own to him in response. He knew she was different from everyone else, yet he had been attracted to her none the less and happily went on the journey of self discovery with her. He soon went to stand by her side on the balcony that came with their little section, looking up at the stars as she was doing and seeing how the engagement ring on her finger sparkled in the light coming from the room and from the moon above them. He wasn't to surprised when she moved closer to him, a small smile coming to her lips at being able to do so and the name he had called her.

"Well all things considered I'm doing fantastic How about you? Still in total shock I didn't run from the building screaming?" asked Paige in response her smile becoming a little sarcastic at the comment she had made at the end. She could also see Seth's smile no doubt from the mental images he now had of her running from a building in a formal dress and heels, she knew that would be entertaining for anyone who seen it especially those who knew her. "Well it's official, Paige Knight is now engaged to Seth Rollins and the truce between Knight's Raven and Evolution is now permanent despite the things that happened in the past, and the leak Evolution are currently dealing with" added Paige feeling as Seth wrapped his arm around her, wrapping her in a warm and loving embrace, that alone bringing another loving smile to her lips. As did the fact her father had given them his blessing, she knew he had finally realised she was happy with Seth and running Knight's Raven despite the danger that come with it.

"In shock nope. I had faith you wouldn't be afraid. In love definitely, my dreams of being with you for the rest of my days is coming true. Plus now I know for sure the love I have for you is returned. There isn't anywhere else I want to be other than at your side" replied Seth a small loving yet soft smile coming to his lips as he leant down slightly to press a single kiss to her temple. He had lost count how many times he wondered what moments like this would feel like or how many times he admired both Dean and Punk for finding that special someone, yet now he had it he didn't want to let it go, he felt the love and the peacefulness that come with it, just as he felt the satisfaction whenever he seen her look and smile knowing it was aimed at him and he was the one who got to call the beautiful mysterious princess his own. "Maybe now we can put things right with Roman, either that or he has to find his own way" added Seth, wondering now if he could put the almost feud with Roman to the side and move forward, he knew the bad blood started between the two of them when he was told about the affair, yet Zarah had been the more grown up one about it, especially when they helped her with her pregnancy and adjusting to life as a new and first time mother.

"Go talk to him. I'll be here when you get back. Its about time to put everything behind the pair of you and Dean too. To try and move forward, see if you can bring your brotherhood back or at least attempt to save what's left of it" responded Paige, a bright smile on her lips as she placed a soft and gentle kiss on his lips before sending him away. She knew the three men had to solve their problems, they had already gone their separate ways once that being on bad terms with one of them, she knew if they were going to move forward or on then they needed to work out their differences and put it behind them as she was sure Renee had also realised. Seth could only nod as he held her tightly in his arms before leaving the room with the words I love you lingering in the air.

"Roman" called Seth as he walked down the stairs, Dean came in from the balcony having received a text from Seth about what he was planning on doing, both men followed the one who called himself the Architect when he left the hotel room heading down to the lobby and to the small bar there. Dean could tell Roman was curious about what was happening. The three hadn't spent quality time together as brothers for years, the last time having been before the affair came to the knowledge of Seth. He had to admit he missed it but also questioned why the sudden change of heart. He soon joined the two waiting at a table for him, both men could obviously see his uncertainly and curiosity on the motivation behind the sudden get together.

"We're going to sort this mess out aren't we?" asked Dean seeing Seth nod to his question as the round of drinks they had ordered on the way in were brought to the table by a waitress, the only one of which paying her any attention other than a thank you being Roman. "I'm guessing we're gonna be start from where it all went downhill and wrong for the three of us as brothers?" asked Dean again once again watching as Seth nodded while sipping on his drink at which point Dean looked over to Roman with uncertainty wondering if the older Samoan would be willing to accept his part in the down fall of their brother hood.

"Not just Roman, us to. All three of us did something that resulted in the brotherhood we once shared going down hill. All three of us made decisions and did things that lead us here. Its time we talk and get this sorted. Both of you have a child and Roman you were happy once its time we get back to where we were or at least attempt to salvage what remains of our brotherhood before its gone for good" explained Seth revealing it wasn't just Roman who was responsible for how their relationship and close friendship had gone, it was all three of them to blame, all three of them had made decisions which lead to where they currently were. Thrust to Seth all three of them had to make the decision of where they go from their current point. Do they try and save what they once had or do the go their separate ways but be there for when they need each other in the future. "We made a decision too Dean. It was us who decided to walk away after the affair come to light, maybe things would be different if we tried to talk over things" finished Seth sharing his opinion of the decision the pair of them had made that could have lead them to where they were now.

"I guess mine was not being neutral ground in the argument between the two of you. If I had stayed neutral then maybe Roman there wouldn't have gone rogue and joined with Evolution and then maybe then they wouldn't have contacted Punk about an assassination on Roman. I know if it was me and Roman arguing then Seth there would have neutral and given some sound advice as well as helped us get back to where we are now. Maybe if I had then we would still be brothers and the trust would still be there" spoke Dean owning up to what he believed his mistake was when it come to how they ended up where they were now, now he looked back on it he knew in a way Roman was right, he had turned his back and favoured Seth when he should have just helped them both to see they were still brothers.

"I should have listened when you tried to explain your actions Roman. I should have at least heard your side of the story on both the affair and the incident with Paige when she was caught in the cross fire. Maybe then the trust wouldn't be broken" said Seth as he remembered the events that had taken place and also how he could have played a part in that. "If I had just listened to you and spoke to you about it maybe you wouldn't have joined with Evolution and forced the pair of us to run. Then maybe you and Zarah would be on good terms to" finished Seth wondering if Roman would have still turned them over to Evolution in exchange for his own freedom had they just listen to and spoken to each other about what had happened. Dean could only nod and wonder the same thing, he too was curious to know how things would have turned out but knew it would only be what if's they couldn't change the past no matter how much they wanted to or what happened.

"I guess mine would be several things, the affair with Zarah, not being honest with either of you. Losing faith in both of you and joining Evolution, turning on you for no reason other than a misunderstanding and finally for allowing you two to convince me moving to Orlando would be a good idea" spoke Roman listing some of things he believed were a mistake and had lead to their current situation, he was surprised to see they agreed with most of them yet had given each other that look when he listed moving to Orlando as a mistake. "To me uprooting was a mistake, if we had stayed in Connecticut then we wouldn't have gotten involved with Knight's Raven or the war that was going on, nor would we be here where we have lost sight of who we are as a team" added Roman remembering what life was like before they had uprooted, how happy each other them were. Even how Dean had hidden his relationship and marriage from everyone including both Seth and Roman. That being one of the only things to come from the move to Orlando, Dean revealing his marriage to them.

"And Seth would be raising your son as his own, Renee would be dead and Freya wouldn't have been born. Paige would most likely have been killed, Knight's Raven would be gone and we would be in hiding right now from Evolution finding us and becoming the most powerful force in our world" responded Dean saying some of the things that would have happened had they stayed in Connecticut, he knew moving to Orlando was the best decision they could have made if only for their own survival, they had just unwittingly walked into the war Finn was helplessly trying to fight to protect Paige from their own enemy at the time. "Seth too would have likely been dead by now, Shane would have realised he was the brains and hunted him down, me being my reckless self would have probably gotten myself killed to avenge Seth or just because of having to live without Renee" added Dean explaining how things could have been so much different in a worse way than they already were, how Roman could have ended up being the last hound standing if they had stayed in Connecticut as he had clearly wanted.

"Our mistake wasn't moving here. It was being dishonest and keeping secrets from each other. Dean if we knew about Renee sooner we would have protected her as we protect all of our own. And Roman if you had come clean with me about the affair with Zarah then I would have listened, instead I had to hear it from Dean. But if it didn't happen then I wouldn't have found Paige, I wouldn't have learnt the lessons I did and we wouldn't be here right now. We just have to accept that we all had a helping hand in where our brotherhood has ended up, we all made the decisions that lead here. We are all responsible for the Hounds disappearing. We just have to make the choice do we work on our friendship and brotherhood so future generations have something to inherit one day or do we end this now and go our separate way, but keep to the pact of being there when we need each other" spoke Seth showing although bad things had happened some of it had lead to something good and all of them had leant important lessons they may not have learnt otherwise. Just as he had pointed out all of them were responsible for where they had ended up and all of them had to make the decision of where they were going from there.

"Just got to consider other things now. Seth you have Paige and your future with her to think about, as Roman has his son and I have both Renee and my daughter to think of while making this decision. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to either of them" responded Dean knowing each of them had something to think about when it come to making their choices. He knew his wife and daughter would come first, after all he would be devastated if he lost either of them, just as he knew they would lose Seth if anything happened to Paige. "Work on your relationship with Zarah Roman. That's what's best for your son. As for what happens with us, let time decide. If we drift back together again then we know our brotherhood was meant to be if not then at least we have memories of a time that could have gone the opposite and we also know we'll always be there for each other no matter what. Just promise me no matter where we end up we will always answer when another calls for help" finished Dean deciding to let time decide their fate. Since Roman had other things to work out especially with Zarah and Seth had a wedding to help plan.

"So that's it. We let time decide what happens to us?" asked Roman curious about the decision although he could understand it. They all had something else to focus on now, they all had their own priorities to put first. He knew Dean was right two of them were fathers and the other was about to settle down with that one special someone. He watched as both Seth and Dean nodded to his question. "I guess I'll go sort things out with Zarah, see if she's willing to forgive me for the sake of Jordan" spoke Roman a small smile on his lips as they finished their drinks before heading back up to the room, for the first time in years enjoying each other company and the peaceful quietness between them.
