Anastasia finished cooking everything and set it. Ezekiel walk around in front of her. He has never seen her so determined. It was like the old days when Anastasia was a mother to her triplets. They were in grade school and every time her classmates visit—she would prepare the same. And now—it's been more than ten years. She is preparing food for her family.

Was he too selfish to lock her up in the villa for her to be safe? All he wanted was for her to be safe and to keep her alive and happy. But he took her happiness in exchange of her security.

"I promise to give you your life back." Ezekiel said.

"Dad, even if I am back with them—I would never leave you. I am your daughter and daughters are responsible to their dad. Okay? And as for Ferd, it wasn't his entire fault." She muttered her last sentence.

"You went to him." He stated. "If he sees you—our game is over."

"If he sees me—it will never be over." She said. "I love my husband. He cheated on me once, but I can still give him a chance."

"And if it happens again?" He asked.

"There will be no chances anymore." Anastasia knew to herself that Ferdinand isn't going to cheat on her. He loved her until now. He vowed to love her until death separates them.

Ezekiel was silent, then he turned back from her and he stopped walking.

"Your next mission will be tomorrow. Sleep well, this is just the start."

Anastasia knows well how she enjoy this to herself. The greatest revenge was to torture them slowly until they wished they would just die instantly. Because after death—you will feel nothing at all. Nothing.

"I'm running to grocery." She said. "Do you want me to prepare your favorite tomorrow?"

"Hmm." Ezekiel answered and he left. Tomorrow was the day when her mom died. She will torture him slowly. She clenches her fist and look up at her mother's painting. She will avenge her.

She went to the grocery with mask on her mouth and nose. With four body guards, two in her front and two behind, just few steps away from her. They are moving in sync like her moves.

Ferdinand was running late on the dinner but then Ethan called that he needed diapers for the twins and then for the triplets since they all forget about it and they are already at Sabrina's villa. Just like old times. He pick the diapers since he knows the sizes and the right diaper that are needed that won't rush the babies.

He was choosing something sweet for the twins when someone caught his eyes. He stop and he froze when he saw a woman, wearing an Aline dress with a mask on her face and black glasses. She slowly and gracefully pulled down her black glasses a little to read the label.

His heart stopped then it beats again. He dropped everything he was holding and his body moved on its own as he strode toward them. The males around her was at alert and she put back her glasses and turn back from him.

He opened his mouth to speak but her body guards stand in front of him to cover her from his sight. He tried to peek on her again and he inhale—he had inhale the scent of his wife.

"Ana…" He whispers.

***

Ana's hand was shaking a little and her legs feels jelly. Hearing his voice and him calling her name. She bit her lip hard and calmly pick another one and another one and she walk ignoring him as her body guards follow her.

"Ana!" Ferdinand calls.

"Sir, who are you?" One of the body guards asked.

"I think I know her." Ferdinand said.

"Mrs. Pattinson can't talk to anyone. And Ana isn't her name."

Ana wanted to run to his arms and cry and tell him everything but she just couldn't. Her body guards settled it quickly. She left the grocery store, run inside the van and started sobbing.

***

Ferdinand was sure that it was Anastasia. His wife. His wife is alive. So after he finished buying everything he call his men and request a copy of the footage in the grocery store and in the parking lot as soon as possible. Then he didn't waste time at all. He call someone to fix something for him.

He arrive in Sabrina's villa with a smile on his face. Although it was hard to believe that his wife is alive—he wouldn't doubt that Ezekiel would cover up someone's death. What does he know? What does Sabrina know? He creased his brow while thinking deep.

"Daddy!" Sabrina clung into his arm and he kiss her top head and handshake with Gabriel and she lead him to the dining table.

He was surprised seeing the food. It was famishing. It smells like Anastasia's cooking. This is impossible they all sat down and after they pray. They started eating. The triplets including him stop for a while after tasting the food.

Ferdinand remain calm even though he wanted to cry out loud tasting the cooking of his wife.

"You've got a new cook?" He asked Gabriel.

"Yes. It's Sabrina." Gabriel answered. He has a hint now. Gabriel had found out. What else are they hiding from him? Then he glanced at his princess. Sabrina who was happy eating.

His poor princess. What exactly did she find out after visiting her grandfather? How much pain did she take to break down and block everything in her head?

"It's a great food!" Jason said who is also present in the dinner with Hailey. Catriona was eating all by herself although Enzo wanted to feed her, she told him that she can take care of herself. She's blind but she knows well where everything is.

Hailey glanced at Tony and Veronica who are muttering at each other and snickering. She creased her brows when she read Jason's name on her lips. Jason taught her how to read lips and Tony encourage her to learn.

She kicked Jason's foot under, and he look at her. She's still enjoying the food. She cocked her head to Tony and Veronica. He shrugged his shoulders.

After their main course, Gabriel cleared his throat and speak.

"I know that it's been tough in our family these past few days." He said. "I am currently holding EPUA. Our operations regarding our subjects will be delayed."

Ferdinand was in thought. Operations and there's a subject. Of course, he wanted to know who their subject is. But Gabriel didn't say who the subject was.

"We are currently cooperating with Ivanov's Empire. The Government Approve and I want to keep everyone safe. We will cool down the situation and let other's have their own strikes. Until Sabrina give birth, and Aria…" He nodded at Aria. I will increase security to everyone. And about my sister's main problem—" He glance at his cousin Hailey. "Jason will be your personal guard. You must cooperate. Our enemies are growing, slowly… We aren't just fighting one empire but there are other two who strike the Lawson and the Alvarez. We will strike back slowly and torturously."

Gabriel reach Sabrina's hand.

"No one can bully our family. Not even the most powerful man in this world."
