Zendaya stared across the room as she exhaled and shook her head. She glanced at Dmitri who is staring at the skyscrapers. Photos of his family with Dmitri on it is on the long side and their empire's photo. Then there's a single photo of her daughter riding a Friesian Horse with a bow and arrow.

Standing a few steps in front of the antique table are Mr. Francisco and Mrs. Francisco.

​​

"Where is your daughter?" Dmitri didn't face them and just stared at the building across the Phoenix Building.

"She's in the hospital, Mr. Black."

"I see." He nodded and looked at Zendaya. "Is Demetria in the hospital after taking all of the hits?" He asked Zendy.

"No, she's in the house still working on a few financial statement problems that you gave." She answered as she checked her manicured nails.

"I should've just let Christian killed your daughter." Dmitri said sounding depressed. "You see, Christian is my adoptive son." He glanced at Mr. Francisco who looked so bad like he hasn't slept for days. Yes, it's been 2 days. "I felt so bad for your loss. But you see, Zendaya here is the heiress of the Dragon Empire." Dmitri gestured. "Her sister Cyra is the first one to see the video that your daughter made about us. Actually, I should praise the films and others, but the Dragon Empire had banished your company."

Mr. Francisco knelt in front of them and she only sit pretty and watched the entire thing.

"Please, I beg you, Miss Pattinson."

"Oh, sorry." Zendaya chuckled. "I like the entire drama but the person you badmouth is my Aunt. My father's first cousin. Also, I hate your daughter who kept on cling on Christian because he's good in bed. You see, my cousin Demetria is very territorial, and she hates people who would just grab someone she likes."

"Is it final, Zen?" Dmitri asked.

"Yeah, I also would like to see your daughter." Zendaya said. "Maybe I'll change my mind after that." She shrugged.

Mr. Francisco told his wife to call their daughter and Mrs. Francisco immediately called her daughter to come.

Hazel is just in the car outside and she came inside with Rhys and Raiden. They casually sat down with their laptops and started working.

"What took you so long?" Zendaya asked and Dmitri lean on the desk.

"Dad," Hazel run to her father and pulled him up. But her father pulled her down and slapped her.

"Why did you do this? Why did you ruin our family for that man?!" He slapped her again.

"There's no use of slapping your daughter for her mistake. It's maybe because on how you raise her." Zendaya said and Mrs. Francisco tried to stop him. Mr. Francisco stopped from hitting her daughter hearing Zendaya's words.

"I'm sorry." Hazel cried.

"I will kill her." Zendaya mumbled in the most horror way. They all froze but Dmitri is enjoying the horror in their face and she looked at Hazel's mother. "She hurt my family." Zendaya scoffed. "I can't accept that. Oh! You see, we love blood. We love fire. We love burning people." She exhaled. "I'm so sorry that you are obsessed to fuck Christian. But he is already under our spell." She leaned on her seat and then turned to Hazel. "I think maybe because your parents didn't give you the same pleasure as Christian treats you."

"We will give a public apology. Is it enough?" Mrs. Francisco said.

"But you already sent the video to the media." Zendaya shrugged. "I already did something." She looked at the twins as she admired them.

****

Mr. and Mrs. Francisco together with Hazel left the building.

"You did this. You fix this." Her father said. They left her just like that and she started walking as she wiped her tears and fixed herself. It was Demetria's fault. If she didn't just seduce Christian, Christian would be hers.

She went to Christian's café and froze as she watched Demetria pushed Christian on the corner sofa and sat on his lap like she usually does to Christian. But now Christian is Demi's and she is so fucking pissed that she could explode.

"Woah, such a thick fake. She came in here after hitting Christian's girlfriend?" The waitress mumbled and even the customers are glancing at her.

"It's her right?" They mumbled and she suddenly felt dizzy as she turned back in embarrassment and left.

She took out her phone and checked the notifications. Her eyes widen when it's her and Grayson making love and she's screaming out Christian's face. Grayson did fuck her well from behind and call her bitch for calling him Christian.

Then there's few videos of her, hitting girls in bars and when they know that she's from a powerful family they just back out. She covered her mouth and started tearing.

****

Demi saw her and she loved it. The expression and how she wished that she never let go of Christian and just fight him to her parents but too late, Christian is hers already.

"What do you want for lunch? Zendaya and your dad will be here."

"So, dad talked to you last two nights ago?"

"Yeah. I need to work double for you," He pointed her nose and she giggled. "Let me check your bruises." He checked it and it's fading. "Customers kept coming, I should probably go and cook."

"Let me help."

"It's fine." He kissed her cheeks.

"I am bored." She pouted at him.

"Okay."

She stood and take him to their locker. He brushed her hair carefully and tie it up and he put the apron on. He kissed her forehead and they went to the kitchen to cook. Demi is a good cook. Her father taught her a lot and she even watched the chefs in Asian Seasons, and she learned a lot of things.

Raiden and Rhys arrived and greet them.

"Where's Zendaya?" She asked them.

"Well, Prince Charming came." They shrugged. "Hey, surprise us with anything." They also said at the same time.

"Prince Charming," Demi murmured and turned back from them and went to the kitchen.

****

Zendaya didn't use her car since the café is just walking distance. Just few blocks away and her penthouse is also nearby. She's wearing a tailored outfit from her mother's dresser and a coach purse and then Louboutin shoes. It's so much fun in her Grandpa's office, but whenever she felt the pendant of the Easter Egg, she still felt the pain in her chest.

Someone bumped into her and her purse fell on the ground. She frowned and glared at the man who is in a hurry. She was about to picked it up, but someone picked it up and removed the dirt and gave it to her. She took it and looked up at the man. He's tall, bulky, handsome and he's smiling that makes others smile.

She glared at him and smacked his chest and pushed him away as she walked past him briskly.

"Zendaya!" He called and walked briskly toward her. She clenched her fist trying not to cry. "Zen-Zen!" He called again. She somehow her left foot stumble and she got out of balance. He caught her and then pulled her up and hugged her tightly. "I'm here, Zen."

She exhaled and let out of those tears. She pushed him and faced him. Then she smacked him with her purse.

"Why are you here?!" She scolded him. She doesn't care if she is crying on the side of the street hitting a handsome guy.

"I promise to be here." He scooped her face and wiped off her tears. "Stop crying, my love."

"I don't want to be your second!" She slapped his chest.

"My Goddess, you aren't my second." He scooped her face and wiped her tears away.

Timothy hugged her tightly until she calmed down and although it's embarrassing that they are making a scene. But Timothy hugged her tightly and muttered to her things to calm her down. He held her and brought her to the café that Christian owns, and she is surprised that he brought her there.

He gestured on the loveseat and she sat down. He sat beside her and hold her hand. Christian came and served them drinks.

"Thank you, Christian." Timothy smiled at him and Christian winked. She frowned and looked at him with full of questions and then to the twins who waved at them.

Zendaya is so confused at this moment. Why is Timothy in their country and why is he hugging her calling her love? He's engaged and he's getting married. She doesn't want to be the headline in French Newspaper and to be called as the mistress and the other woman.

She felt like tears started to stream down her cheek. Timothy took out his handkerchief and wiped it.

"Please, Zen-Zen, stop crying."

"Why are you calling me Zen-Zen?" She asked as she took the handkerchief and wiped her snoots.

"It sounds adorable." He chuckled and kissed her forehead.

"Tim, I don't want to be your other woman." She told. "I had given you my firsts but it's okay with me if you aren't for me."

Timothy reached her hand and bring it to his chest where his heart is located.
