*I would like to thank everyone that reviewed, followed and alerted this story. I couldn't have written it without you. Here is the final chapter of The Farmer's Daughter I hope you enjoy.*

The crown took off to the residence of Roman's mother, the residence that he once lived in before marrying Lady Amelia. The horses galloping fast through the land, the torches of the crown burning through the night as Leah sat in her bedchamber brushing through her long black hair hoping her son and his love had begun their journey to America and were finally safe from the punishments that waited for them. She smiles at the one photograph she had of her granddaughter Leah Roman had it delivered to her a few days earlier along with a letter telling her they would be leaving for America. Leah smiles at her namesake and felt the pain in her chest knowing she would never know or meet her one granddaughter. She was beautiful, the spitting image of her father with his darker features, the dark hair, the olive skin and his plump lips while she had the beautiful blue eyes of her mother. She was a beautiful little girl. Leah wished for them all to have a happy life in America where they could live a free and happy life from the restraints of the crown.

Leah let out a sigh as she continued brushing her hair as she heard the commotion of men entering her home. She knew they had come for her. She put the brush down as they stormed into her bedchambers. She stood up as Lady Amelia's father stood in her bedchambers. "I've been waiting for you," she says softly. "I assume my son has gotten away with his wife and daughter?" she asks.

"That is NOT his wife! My daughter is his wife he made a fool of me and he made a fool of my daughter," says the Lord with haste. "Your son and his mistress need to pay for their crimes."

"How do you expect that to happen if they are on their way to America?" she asks. "Roman never loved Amelia you know that and I know that. My son was a rogue," she says. "He preferred the company of a mistress above the company of a Lady. His heart already belonged to another before he wed your daughter," she says. "He would have never been happy with Amelia."

"We had a deal," he says.

"Roman is not the man that needs to be punished," she says.

"He committed adultery," he says, "He needs to pay for his crimes as well as his mistress they need to pay for their crimes."

"Actually," she says, "I am the one that needs to pay for their crimes. I am the one that committed adultery," she confesses. "It is me that you want to behead."

"I'm confused," he says. "It is your son's sins that need paid why is it you that needs to be beheaded?" he asks.

"I committed adultery years ago," she admits. "Roman is not the son of the Earl," she confesses. "Roman's father and I have passed Roman off as a Lord all his life. Much like my son, my husband prefers the company of his mistress above the company of his wife. I was forced into this marriage with My Lord. I was never truly happy," she says. "I was in love with the farm help, the stable boy on my father's farm. He wanted to separate us keep us apart because he saw the feelings between us developing. He forced me into a marriage to keep his credibility. I was never truly happy with my husband. I continued to see my true love and the last time I saw him we conceived a child together. The Lord and I have never shared a marital bed if you want to believe that. Lord Reigns is not my husband's son."

"I'm confused," he says.

"Your daughter's husband is nothing more than a poor stable boy's son. He holds no true title or rank in social standing," she says. "It is me that you want to punish not my son. We did it to protect Roman," she confesses. "It was me that lied. I was unfaithful in my marriage. Shackle me," she says offering herself in place of her son. "Take me and behead me," she says.

Amelia's father was unsure on what to do. He wanted to make Leah pay for her son's crimes, he wanted a fight from Leah but instead she was standing in front of him confessing her own true sins. It wasn't what he expected he was lost on what to do with Leah. He lets out a deep breath and says, "Shackle her."

"But My Lord," says one of his men. "I thought it was for Roman's and Della's sins she would be punished?"

"It is for her own sins as well as the sins of her son she will be punished," he says, "now shackle her. Moving forward his men put the shackles around her slender wrists. She blew a soft kiss to her one and only granddaughter that she knew about before the men of the Crown escorted her out of her residence into the darkness of the night.

Leah was thrown into a carriage in her shackles as they took off through the night. She couldn't and she wouldn't allow The Crown to destroy her son's life or her granddaughter's life. She was not going to allow them to destroy his happiness with Della. She wanted them to live happily in America without the fear of being punished for their love. She sacrificed herself, gave herself away for her son's sins so that she could be punished for her sins as well as her son's. She had lived a happy life to the best of her ability after being forced into a marriage where she was never happy. Every day she would wake up hoping for something more, hoped to end the loneliness, the misery of her life but Roman was the only thing she loved in her life. He made her happy. She could never allow him to be unhappy or live without his true love like she had done for so many years. If she could have gone back she would have done the same thing Roman had done ran away with the love of her life to enjoy the happiness and love of true love. Leah was thrown into a dingy, cold cell when she was delivered to the crown. She spent a lonely cold night in the cell before she met her fate in the morning.

The next morning Leah arrived into town surrounded by the townspeople of England, her dress covered in dirt from the dirty cell she was shackled in, her hair knotted from her tossing and turning the night before. Leah makes her way onto the scaffold without a fight keeping her head up as she faced the people that once respected her. The townspeople booing at her presence and booing her for her son's mistakes as well as her own as she was led to the spot she would be beheaded. "Any last words?" asks Amelia's father. "You can save yourself by allowing us access to Roman and Della."

"Never," she says, "My son deserves to be happy, my daughter in law deserves to be happy and my granddaughter deserves the happiness I never got to live," she says. "I sacrifice myself in the place of my son so he can be free to live his life."

"That's foolish," he says, "you can be free if you allow us Roman's location in America."

"NEVER!" she protests. "I apologize for my sins and the sins of my son," she confesses. And with that she was beheaded in front of the people of England as they cheered and hollered before celebrating the death of Lord Roman Reigns' mother for her deceit, treachery, adultery as well as her son's adultery.

A MONTH AND A HALF LATER:

The ocean roaring as the new land came into sight before them on the ship they had spent nearly two months on, traveling across the Atlantic Ocean. The harbor of America welcoming them to the new land, "isn't it beautiful?" Roman asks his wife as she holds their daughter in her arms as they look at the scenery before them.

"It says freedom to me," says Della with a smile. "It's beautiful."

"It is truly a beautiful sight," says Dean with a smile as he stands with Adelle and their son Samuel. Dean began to show signs of healing days within their voyage. Each day he got stronger and stronger. His wounds began to heal and fade away now he was back to his usual self, ready to start his life new with Adelle in America.

It was a long voyage especially when they ran into the rough seas that rocked their boat back and forth almost making them feel as if it would flip over or crash. The days on the boat were warm and hot from the shining of the sun as the nights were cold from the water and the night sky. Disease set in a few times on their voyage but with the herbs and medicine Adelle had found in town helped them return back to health. Leah and Samuel grew in the last couple months going from a tiny newborn to a bigger infant. Leah began to look more and more like Roman every day but she kept her mother's eyes as they grew lighter each day. Samuel on the other hand looked exactly like his mother Adelle. He had no signs of Seth within his looks which Adelle secretly enjoyed his hair blonde, his eyes blue and his skin fair like his mother. He even resembled Dean a little bit but it was impossible for him to be his father as their relationship began after he was conceived but he could always pass as Dean's son. Adelle was grateful that she would never have to face the heartbreak of seeing Seth in her son. They were happy to be free and happy to be out of England where they could live a peaceful and happy life the rest of their time on Earth.

The ship sails into the dock as the men working at the dock secure the ship before Roman, Della, Leah, Dean, Adelle and Samuel make their way off the ship. Roman takes Leah from Della and kisses her chubby cheek softly. "We're home now," he says with a smile. "We're in a land and a place we will always be free and happy. I want you to have a better life, Leah. A beautiful happy life," he says with a smile as he looks at Della taking her hand into his. "And I want the same for you, My Love."

"I wish for nothing else," she smiles back at him. "I love you, Roman."

"I love you too," he says before they share a soft kiss.

Roman and Dean got their belongings from the boat and loaded them onto an empty carriage so that they could take it to their new home in the countryside of America and when they had everything loaded onto the empty carriage they joined their women on the carriage to begin their travel to the home that Roman had purchased for his family. He was excited to take his wife to the land and property he had bought for them. It was going to be their new home, their farm. He was willing to give up everything for Della, risk it all to love her the rest of his life. They traveled through the dirt back roads enjoying the scenery around them before they pull onto a long dirt path leading them to a beautiful Victorian Style home on a large property. "Is this what I think it is?" asks Della with a smile.

"Our new home," he smiles.

"It's beautiful, Roman," she smiles. "It's everything I ever dreamed of."

"I know," he says with a soft smile before the carriage comes to a stop. Dean and Adelle exit the carriage first before Roman and Della. "So what do you think?" he asks as they walk to the front porch of the beautiful home.

"I don't know what to say, Roman," she says with tears in her eyes. "It's beautiful."

"I tried," he says with a smile as he takes Leah from her. "This is our home, Leah," he says to his tiny daughter as she gives him a toothless grin. "You're going to love it here. Papa is going to have a farm with cows, sheep, horses and he is going to grow crops to sell at the shops in town. He's going to do everything to make you happy and make your Mama happy. Papa is going to get you and Mama a puppy but the most important thing Papa is going to give you and Mama is a happy life and I'm going to make sure you both feel loved. And one day your Mama and I are going to give you a baby brother or sister; a lot of baby brothers and sisters, we are going to make sure they are happy and loved too. I love you so much, Leah," he says before he kisses her cheek softly. "I love you too, Della," he says with a smile.

"I love you, Baby," she smiles before they share a soft kiss. "I guess I'm no longer the Farmer's daughter huh?"

"More like the Farmer's wife," he says with a soft smile. "Forever and always, Della."

"Forever and always," she says with a soft smile. "I can't wait to see what my life with you holds here in America."

"A lot of happiness, a lot of love and a brand new beginning for all of us," he says with a smile before he kisses her lips softly.
