Roman POV

•°FLASHBACK

6 Months Ago•°

Getting home, it was late.

It was a good thing he and the guys didn't have to work tomorrow.

He took a deep breath before walking into his house.

Everyone was here.

He set his bags down and pushed his hands into his pockets. Ready for what came his way.

"How could you?" His dad asked.

Roman didn't say anything. It was better if he stayed silent till everyone got out what they wanted to say.

He knew they had found out about Melissa. But he didn't know how.

"You are about to have a family Roman. Have we taught you nothing about family? She is pregnant with your child," his dad said.

Desiree was crying on his mom's shoulder.

His dad sighed. He looked completely exhausted.

"I don't know where I went wrong. I've been thinking and thinking and I just don't know," his dad said.

It almost looked like he wanted to cry, but he knew his dad wouldn't.

"This is a damn good woman you have and you want to throw that away for someone you just met? Its lust Roman," his dad said.

"Easy women like her are easy to find, but a good woman, isn't Roman. I've been a damn good woman to you." Desiree shouted while crying.

"See what you did?" His dad asked angry.

His dad stood and walked over to him, setting his hand on his son's shoulder.

"I told you that if Desiree ended up pregnant at any time, I wouldn't let you walk away from her or your child," he said.

"And I didn't or haven't. I taking care of mine on my own." Roman said.

His dad nodded.

"And now you need to continue to and or you are out of the family. You need to end this little fling Now." His dad said.

"I love Melissa," he whispered for only his dad to hear.

His dad could see the pain in his son's eyes.

"But you are a father first, the man of your family. Set a good example for it." His dad said.

Roman swallowed.

"Don't make me do something I'm going to regret Roman." His dad warned.

"I work with her dad. I can't just ignore her," he said.

"There's a difference between working with her and sleeping with her. If you two have to step into the room together. Stay away from her. Do it. I don't want to see photos of you together. I don't want you riding in the same car as her. Understood?" His dad said.

Roman sighed softly but nodded.

"Understood," he whispered.

•°PRESENT•°

Roman had just told Melissa why he had stayed with his fiance and he wanted to leave and tried to so many times.

He was gonna let her go but not before explaining why.

But Melissa didn't give him a chance before he could explain. She also didn't know his family found out about them.

It was hard but he has to tell her everything, reliving the pain.

He knew it sounded bad but he had falling in love with Melissa and wanted to be with her. But his family had threatened him and Melissa. He knew his dad would make her life a living hell.

She had to know the whole truth.

He hoped she believed every word.

He also knew she had something to tell him but he had more to say and wanted to get it out before he lost his nerve. He had missed her. Also was still in love with her.

Now as they were staring at each other, she knew Roman wasn't done and when he was done she had to tell him, her secret.

••••••••••••••••••

•°FLASHBACK
2 Days Ago•°

Roman got off early and was tired and he missed Melissa but she wouldn't even talk to him.

He hadn't seen her backstage lately. She had taken some time time off.
He hoped she was doing better than him.

He was headed home for a couple days to try to relax.

What he didn't know was it would be ANYTHING but relaxing.

Meanwhile With Sierra

•°Flashback with
Sierra•°

NXT takeover had finally ended and everyone was packing up to go home.

Sierra stood outside the locker room waiting for Damien their bags at her feet as she leaned against the wall looking down at her phone not paying any attention, at least not until she heard a voice she recognized.

She looked up to see Finn Balor and Roman's fiancee in a heated conversation pretending to look down at her phone she strolls past and stops just close enough to eavesdrop on their conversation seeing the conflicted look on Finn's face.

"Des...you have to tell him about this..."

"About what Finn...the fact that I'm carrying his child? I think he already knows that."

Finn sighs rubbing his face with his hands trying to bring himself to tell her what he had found.

"I already know Des..... I spoke to the doctor earlier today."

Sierra raised an eyebrow knowing by the tone in Finn's voice that it wasn't good news and judging by the look of surprise on Desiree's face she had no clue that he talked to her doctor.

"Be honest with me. The child is mine isn't it?"

Finn asked looking Desiree in the eyes.

Sierra almost drops her phone hearing that. She's been cheating on Roman this entire time Sierra thought to herself getting angry.

"No its Roman's."

She stammered after recovering from shock seeing the look of disbelief in Finns eyes.

"I would never cheat on my future husband."

"But yet you did over and over again and still are so stop with the lies. He's going to find out and it won't end well. This can go one of two ways, you can tell Roman the truth or he will find out and it won't end well if he finds out the hard way."

Finn warns her as Sierra leans against the wall still reeling from what she just heard.

Sierra had a feeling there was more to why Desiree
wanted to marry Roman and make him think the baby was his but she didn't know what.

Finn giving Desiree a stern look as she tries to reason with him.

"What exactly am I supposed to say? "Oh hey Roman you know I been cheating on you with someone else now I'm carrying their child?"

Finn nods at the suggestion then shrugs.

"Tell him to call off the wedding for that reason."

Finn says crossing his arms as Desiree starts to tear up, Finn shaking his head unphased by the fake tears.

"It's not going to work this time Des. You're going to have to tell him."

Sierra walks off before the end of their conversation making her way back bumping into Becky who was at the show to speak with Hunter and to see Seth.

Becky looking up from her phone seeing the look of anger in Sierra's face.

"Whoa... What's got you all pissed off?"

"Roman's so called faithful fiancee."

Sierra snaps Becky looking at her confused.

"Desiree?"

"Ugh. Yeah that Bitch."

Becky could see the amount of rage in Sierra's eyes as she pulls her into one of the open room giving her a chance to calm down and explain.

"What about her?"

"She's been cheating on Roman with Finn Balor and She is pregnant with Finn's child so the baby isn't Roman's."

Becky's jaw drops at the news as she runs her fingers through her hair and sighs pacing a bit.

"And she has Roman convinced that the child is his." Becky concluded as Sierra nods finally calming down and sighs shaking her head.

"Roman's been trying to talk to Lissa and she's been avoiding him and doesn't really have too."

Becky sighs shaking her head looking at Sierra.

"Does Roman know?"

Sierra shakes her head no looking down at her phone.

"Knowing that kinda softens the fact of me wanting to punch Roman in his face."

Becky chuckles placing her hand on Sierra shoulder.

"We should tell Melissa."

Becky suggests Sierra shaking her head.

"It's not ours to tell Beck that's the thing even saying that I feel conflicted like I should tell her and run the risk of my beastie not believing me or she finds out and gets mad at me for not telling her."

The two start walking back towards the locker rooms as they talk.
