Laravel pagination inside iframe is leading me to another page

So let me start off with giving you what I have in my controller index:

function index() {
    //get all roles
    $roles = Role::paginate(2);

    return view('role.index', compact('roles'));
}

I have 3 roles. To test if paginate works I set it to 2. So far this works. for my blade:

@foreach($roles as $role)
                    <?php $count++ ?>
                    <div class="tr row jquery_update jquery_update_child">
                        <div class="td checkbox col-xs-2 ">
                            <label>
                                <input class="checkbox_ck" name="checkbox_{id}" type="checkbox" value="">
                                <span class="cr"><i class="cr-icon glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></i></span>
                            </label>
                        </div>
                        <a class="iframe" href="">
                            <div class="td col-xs-2">
                                
                            </div>
                            <div class="td col-xs-6">
                                
                            </div>
                            <div class="td col-xs-2">
                                
                            </div>
                        </a>
                    </div>
                @endforeach

<div class="pagination_container">
    
</div>

This part works. I'm using colorbox to get popups. I load my show method from my controller in a iframe popup. my show method:

function show($id) {
    //get the specific role
    $role = Role::findorfail($id);

    return view('role.show', compact('role'));
}

As you can see I don't use paginate because it is just 1 role, but I do have multiple profiles connected to this role. In my show contoller I show all the profiles connected to that role:

    <table class="table table-striped">
        <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>#</th>
            <th>img</th>
            <th>full name</th>
            <th>Company</th>
        </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
        <?php $count = 0;

        use Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator;

        $profiles = $role->profiles;

        //Get current page form url e.g. &page=6
        $currentPage = LengthAwarePaginator::resolveCurrentPage();

        //Create a new Laravel collection from the array data

        //Define how many items we want to be visible in each page
        $perPage = 1;

        //Slice the collection to get the items to display in current page
        $currentPageSearchResults = $profiles->slice(($currentPage - 1) * $perPage, $perPage)->all();
        //Create our paginator and pass it to the view
        $paginatedSearchResults= new LengthAwarePaginator($currentPageSearchResults, count($profiles), $perPage);


        ?>
        @foreach($paginatedSearchResults as $profile)
            <?php $count++?>
            <tr>
                <td>
                    
                </td>
                <td>
                    <img src="" alt=""/>
                </td>
                <td>
                      
                </td>
                <td>
                     (Function )
                </td>
            </tr>
        @endforeach
        </tbody>
    </table>
    <div class="pagination_container">
        
    </div>

in my html browser the pagination does load correctly and I can see it visually

<ul class="pagination">
    <li class="disabled"><span>«</span></li>
    <li class="active"><span>1</span></li>
    <li><a href="/?page=2">2</a></li>
    <li><a href="/?page=2" rel="next">»</a></li>
</ul>

So when I click on (example) <li><a href="/?page=2">2</a></li> then this brings me to another view. NOTE: there is the iframe url and browser url. The Iframe url is the one that is changing. If I manually change the url from my iframe to http://example.com/role/1/?page=2 then it does work.

So when I click on the tag is brings me to: http://example.com/company/1

I have no clue why this is going on?? any help would be appriciated!
