It was a bit passed midnight when she decided to sneak in. The kids were asleep and so was Roman. Giving him an hour to fall into a deep sleep. She went through the back door. Thor ran over to her and whined, rubbing himself against her leg.

"Hi baby, I miss you too", she whispered, kissing the top of his head.

She let him out before closing the door. Making her way quietly to their bedroom. Baron wasn't keeping an eye on them. He wanted Max to have a moment with her family, even if they didn't know she was there. Entering her and Roman's room. She left the flowers on his nightstand. He would see them when he woke. She watched him sleep.

"I'm sorry", she whispered.

She touched his cheek gently. He sighed and turned over in bed. She made her way to her daughter's room. Tucking her in again since she kicked off her blankets. Kissing her head.

"Sleep tight my love bug", she whispered.

She peeked in on Roman before making her way to Raiden's room. She picked him up and held him close. Kissing the side of his head.

"You're getting so big my baby", she whispered.

She set him back down and tucked him in. It took her a few minutes to go back downstairs. She made her way to the office and reconnected the camera.

"I was going to do that", she stopped.

Turning to face her husband. His eyes running over her.

"I heard you with Raiden. Baby monitor. Then I saw the daisies. You were at the pier? Why didn't you come to me? You couldn't could you. I just, I", he didn't know what he was trying to say.

He took a step towards her. He was afraid she was going to disappear or he was going to wake up.

"Tell me you're really here", he said.

"I am", she said.

His hands were shaking.

"I don't know what to do baby", he said.

She swallowed.

"Well, you have a few options", she said.

He smiled.

"Which are?", he asked.

"Option A, you yell at me for hurting you, painfully. Option B, You kick me out and I would understand. Option C, you slap me with divorce papers and take my kids from me", she said.

He shook his head.

"Those can't be the only options", he said.

"Or my hopeful option D, you close the space between us and kiss me like there's no tomorrow. Maybe throw in a quickie, because I've missed you so fucking much", she said.

His tears slipped as soon as hers did. He closed the space and lifted her, kissing her. She moaned. His hands moved up her back and into her hair. He sat her on the desk and they quickly shed their clothes. Grabbing her thighs and pulling her to him, pushing himself into her roughly. She moaned loudly. His rough thrusts satisfied her in so many ways. He grunted in her ear, her hands smoothly gliding up his arms. He rested his forehead against hers.

"Maxine", he whispered.

She kissed him gently. With one last hard thrust, he released inside her and she sighed happily.

"Only you", he whispered.

She wrapped her legs around his waist, not wanting him to move away just yet.

"Don't worry about that whole ex-wife thing. You didn't do anything.", she said softly.

He kissed her. Her phone vibrated on the floor and Roman reached for it. Baron's name flashed. Roman smirked and answered.

"She's on her way", he said.

Baron chuckled.

"Well tell her to hurry. We need to get back before the sun comes out", Baron said.

"I'll tell her", Roman said.

He handed his wife her phone and she jumped off of the desk.

"How much longer?", he asked.

"Hopefully not long. We've made a deal with Zelina and Andrade.", she said.

He nodded and they got dressed. He walked her to the door. Stopping her from opening it.

"Don't you ever do that to me again. You have no idea what I went through. Trust me enough to tell me", he said.

"It wasn't about trust, Ro. We needed Lana to believe that I was really dead. We knew that she would come to see you for herself. To rub salt in your wounds. You not knowing I was alive still, showed your real pain of losing me. She needed to see real pain.", she said, brushing his hair back.

She looked into his eyes.

"But I am sorry my love. I never want to hurt you or my family like that again. One last time and then I come home, so we can work on baby number three", she said.

He smiled and nodded.

"I forgive you. Just come home, because I want you home", he said.

She smiled and kissed him once more before leaving. He sighed as he closed the door.


Baron waved a hand in front of his face once she was inside the car with him.

"What?", she asked.

"You smell of sex", he said, playfully gagging.

She swatted his arm and he laughed.

"Shut up and let's go", she said.


Lana was going over the plans to break out Sheamus. Jinder, Drew, and Adam stood around the table. Looking down at the map of the prison.

"All the guards get together to celebrate with their families. Only a few will actually be inside.", Adam said.

He and his crew had gone through records and hacked into private information.

"About how many?", Jinder asked.

"A little more than thirty men. The others will be outside having some sort of picnic or something. Its to celebrate how long the prison has been open and the fact that no one has ever escaped.", Adam smirked.

Drew laughed and slapped Adam's back.

"That's genius. You were right about this one Lana", Drew said.

Lana smiled. Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in", Lana called out.

The door opened to Ruby Riott.

"Ma'am, Zelina Vega and Andrade Almas are here to see you", Ruby said.

Lana raised a brow. She looked at Drew and Jinder.

"They've got some balls to show up here and walk onto your territory", Adam said.

"That they do", Lana said.

"Should I send them away?", Ruby asked.

"No. Show them to my office and wait with them there. I think I know why they've come", Lana said.

Ruby nodded and walked out.

"Are you going to ask them to help?", Drew asked.

"No. They want what's mine. I've never been one to share", Lana said.

"Its about Jason, isn't it?", Adam asked.

Lana nodded. She made her way out. Liv and Sarah followed behind her. Getting to her office, she walked in. Ruby was standing beside Andrade, which she could tell he didn't appreciate. Lana put on a smile and walked over to her desk. Sitting down and crossing her legs.

"What can I help you with today? This better not be about wanting your side of Mexico back. I won it fair and square", Lana said.

Zelina rolled her eyes. Placing a hand on Andrade's shoulder, because she knew he was going to say something he shouldn't. They weren't here for that.

"No. Its about Jason Jordan.", Zelina said.

Lana nodded and opened a drawer on her desk. She pulled out the photos and let them fall on her desk.

"This?", Lana asked.

Zelina glanced at the photos before nodding.

"It seems our little "friend", has been working the both of us. He hired us to kill those agents, and then he hired us to kill you", Zelina said.

Lana nodded.

"I sort of suspected after seeing those photos. Then you should know he's been aiming to kill your man as well. With him out of the way, I can rule the rest of Mexico in the drug trade", Lana said.

Zelina smirked.

"We figured as much", Zelina said.

"So, I'm assuming you have a deal for me. Getting rid of Jason Jordan", Lana said.

Zelina shrugged.

"Something like that. We figured we can work together on this. You've got your side of Mexico and we've got ours. We can work together, make trades. More trades, means more money for the both of us.", Zelina said.

Lana nodded. She looked at Andrade.

"You made the bomb?", she asked.

Andrade nodded.

"Can you make one before next week?", she asked.

Andrade raised a brow.

"What do you need it for?", Zelina asked.

Lana looked at her.

"I have a friend who's in prison and I need him out.", Lana said.

Zelina leaned down and whispered in his ear. Andrade sent her a small nod. Zelina stood back up and looked at Lana with a smile.

"By when do you need it again?", Zelina asked.

"I really need it for next Saturday, but I want it before that so I can see it for myself", Lana said.

Zelina nodded and looked down at Andrade. He nodded.

"He can get it done", Zelina said.

"Good. After its done, we can both get a crack at Jason.", Lana said.

Zelina nodded.

"That's good for us", Zelina said.

Lana stood, Andrade did the same before buttoning his jacket. Lana held her hand out to him, he shook it.

"It was a pleasure doing business with you", Lana said.

Andrade smiled.


Jason had gotten a message from Alexa and Sami to meet them at headquarters. It was quiet, which was weird for work. Alexa pushed herself off the wall and smiled at him.

"Glad you could make it", she said.

"You said it was an emergency. I figured it was since you and Sami texted me", he said.

She nodded and opened the double doors. The room was empty.

"What's this about?", he asked.

"Please sit. We are just waiting on a few people", Alexa said.

Jason nodded and sat. Alexa stood at the front of the table. The doors opened again and he turned. His jaw dropping and he stood slowly.

"What the fuck is this?", Jason asked.

"Aren't you happy to see us, Jason", Max smirked.
