Hunter
After witnessing Roman proposing to Ashley in front of the entire WWE Universe, we couldn't help but to feel rappelled by the sight of seeing romance in the ring.

"Did you see that, Stephanie?"

"I most certainly did, Hunter." She replied. "We have to inform Seth about this immediately."

After the show closed off, Stephanie and I made a small visit to check up on Seth for the first time in a few weeks. We made our way through the building and the security escorted us to his prison cell.

"Seth, get your ass up!" I shouted.

"Huh?" Seth said, startled. "Hunter? Stephanie? What the hell are you guys doing here?"

"There's no time to explain and the officers won't let me bail you out of here, but we have some unfortunate news to tell you."

"What is it, Hunter? I was trying to get some sleep." Seth said, rubbing his eyes. "I already missed WrestleMania and I'm pissed off about it."

Contemplating on telling Seth that the woman he lusted for was engaged to the man he hated with a passion, I came right out and told him the truth.

"Seth." I cleared my throat. "At the main event of WrestleMania, Roman became the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, and that's not all..."

"The fuck are you trying to say?" He interrupted.

"Well, Ashley and him are now engaged, Seth. He proposed to her in front of the whole WWE Universe."

"He did what?!" Seth shouted. "You're fucking joking me. Steph? Hunter? Is this true?"

I responded with a simple nod.

"Unfortunately. They're making this company look like a joke." Stephanie said.

"I want you both to bail me out as soon as possible. I don't care if I'm unable to be bailed out. I am going to make the both of their lives a living hell for this!" He said with anger in his eyes and hitting the wall countless times.

"There's really nothing we can do, Seth. As much as we would love to get you out of here, the judge absolutely forbids it and for some reason, they put you in here for seven-years with no bail. I don't know what we're going to do." Stephanie said.

"Just sneak in here, Steph, and break me out of this cell. If I cannot get out of prison by bail, just break-in and get me out of here; because I have some unfinished business that I have to take care of."

"Look, we're going to see what we can do. Okay?" I said.

"Whatever. I'll be waiting." He said with his eyebrows furrowed.

Stephanie and I left the prison and made our way back to the headquarters, where we will soon find out how we're going to get him out of prison. With or without a bail.

Seth
You have to be kidding me? Roman and Ashley are engaged? I cannot believe that the woman I had feelings for growing up was getting married to a bastard like Roman Reigns. I couldn't help but to feel disgusted. I thought after what I done to her, it would've made him leave her and I could've had her all to myself.

I sat back down inside of my cell and ran my fingers violently into my two-toned hair.

"Fuck!" I said in frustration. "What the fuck am I going to do?"

While lying down on the wooden bed, I looked up to the ceiling and thought of a plan along with Hunter and Steph. What to do, what to do.

Roman
I was incredibly happy tonight after announcing my engagement to Ashley. Everyone from the crowd and backstage continued to congratulate the both of us through social media and in person with every chance they'd get. The moment I've been waiting for in months has finally arrived, and now she's my beautiful fiancee. I never thought this day would come and I couldn't be any happier.

We spent the night watching movies and made love on our bed twice. I couldn't wait to finally be married to her after everything we've been through within a year. Seth being in prison was a blessing. Charlotte hasn't bothered us ever since he was sent to prison. Ashley's entire memory returned. Everything was right in the world as far as I'm concerned.

Ashley was currently asleep next to me in the bed. I couldn't stop smiling at the thought of her and I being married in a year. Moments passed and she started having nightmares in her sleep.

"You alright babe?" I said as she sat up from the bed and rubbed her eyes.

"I had the worst nightmare ever." She groaned.

"Wanna talk about it?" I asked, reassuring her.

"I guess. I had a nightmare that Seth was bailed out of prison and he started to ruin our marriage, along with his side-bitch."

"Impossible. He can't get out of prison for seven whole years and he won't be able to ruin what we have anymore. If anyone else tries to, we can report it to the police and they'll take care of it for us, alright?" I kissed her forehead.

She nodded and started falling back asleep next to me.

I felt terrible that she still lived with the trauma that they gave her in the past. Ashley never deserved to endure any of that throughout her life and I couldn't wait to make things right once we become husband and wife. I was considering on therapy in hopes of helping her cope after everything.

The next morning approached and Ambrose started knocking on the door.

"Brother, open the door!"

"What's up?"

"Renee and I chipped-in and bought you guys a little something to say congratulations on the engagement last night!"

"Thanks, guys!" I said with a smile on my face.

"Dude, where's Ashley?" He asked.

"She's asleep still. Honestly, she had trouble sleeping last night."

"How come?" Renee asked.

"Well, she keeps having nightmares of the trauma she went through over the years with Seth and she's afraid of him and Charlotte ruining our marriage in the future. I was considering on getting her therapy since I want her to feel better, knowing that he's in prison now and he can't harm either one of us."

"I think that's a good idea, Rome."

After speaking with Ambrose and Renee for awhile, I went back to Ashley and seen her starting to wake up as she was rubbing her eyes and stretching.

"Did you sleep good?"

"Yeah, I feel a lot better than I did last night when it came to that nightmare."

"I'm glad that you feel better." I smiled. "Well, I had something in mind, but I don't know how you'd feel about it."

"What is it?" She asked in confusion.

"I was thinking last night that you might want to consider therapy. I just want you to feel better, Ashley."

"I was honestly considering that too. I hate that the trauma from my past still haunts me, and I feel like it could help."

After having that conversation with her, I pulled her into my embrace and kissed her lips. I really felt like therapy would be perfect for her and to help her cope with the past. She deserved to be happy and nothing more.
