They are counting down to 24:00. Then there's a firework display and at the same time, Sophia uploaded their backfire to the De La Fontaine Empire. Asher sent it directly media. The first is Timothy's message to his family and it's exactly 18:00 in Paris France.

Then the social media blasts as everyone shared the video of Timothy. Timothy got a notification and he opened it.

​​

He's sitting on a sofa in the family room of and the camera is set up and behind him is the beautiful view of the sea from the open sliding door. He smiled at the camera and thank them first.

"Hi, this is Timothy De La Fontaine, I would like to clear up things. Firstly, I would like to say to my family to stop looking for me. I'm sorry that I am not the son that you wanted. I'm sorry that I don't want to be a good son and agreed in arranged marriage. Marrying someone I don't love, tortures me. And to Emma, I'm sorry. You were my friend but, indicating my fiancée as the mistress makes me disappointed to myself." He said and paused a little. "Make me disappointed that I have a friend that couldn't be happy from my success and to be with someone that I love." He sighed. "Well, I run off from house. I sent a letter to my family that I don't want to part if it anymore. I choose my happiness over the joker that would never make me happy. Although I am not rich at this moment, I am happy. So, to those who said bad things to the Dragon Empire and to the love of my life, please. Please stop. You don't know how much we've gone through just to be each other. Thank you for listening. I'm singing off as an heir from De La Fontaine."

The video ended and Zendaya hugged him tightly after she saw it. She doesn't want to see it and it was a surprise. They must've shoot it when she's sleeping.

"I love you." Timothy whispered to her ear and she bit her lips and her lips pouts in a curve trying not to cry. Timothy peeked on it and it looked completely adorable. She sniffled and tears fell from her eyes and Timothy chuckled and hugged her tightly and kissed her top head. "Stop crying, Zen-Zen. I love you, okay? Je t'aime."

"Je t'aime ausii." She said in a very adorable voice. She's adorable when she's near on crying.

Timothy kissed her lips and their phone just blasted.

"I set up a timer in six hours." Sophia came up to them. "Our compilation will be published on my blog." She winked.

"Wow, congrats." Tim told.

"No. Congratulations to the two of you." Sophia said and waved at them.

Owen arrived in Bahamas but too late for Bea's celebration. However, he still got it. From his flight in New York, now he's here but a little late.

"What the hell?" Zachary frowned at him.

"I'm sorry. I have to deal with some problem." Owen said apologetically.

"Uncle!" Elizabeth squeal and she run to him. Owen knelt one knee and catch her and lifted her up and give her a kiss.

"A problem?" Zachary asked. Owen sighed.

"I'll tell you later." Owen told as they walked to the tables.

"It should better be something not big. Or perhaps have you already impregnated someone?" Zachary asked. Owen stopped walking. Zachary also stopped and he looked at his eyes and those eyes tell it all.

Zachary let him sit down first and Sarah came and kissed Owen as a greeting also his oldest sister Agatha. Then Bea came up. He stood and hugged her.

"Happy birthday, dear." He kissed her forehead.

"Thank you, Uncle Owen." She said sweetly.

"My gift is back in Philippines." Owen winked at her and she grinned.

Ellen also greet him and took Elizabeth so Owen could eat. He eats a lot and it's like he hasn't been eating for days.

"You looked so worn out." Agatha said and give him some refreshments.

"Thank you for noting."

"We are staying here for three days more. You should relax."

"I need to leave by tomorrow, back to Philippines." He told.

"Oh," Agatha felt bad for her baby brother. "You are 36 years old and you are worrying over something that shouldn't."

"Hey! Stop pestering him!" Dmitri came and hugged his brother in law. "Go away! Away!" He shooed his sisters. "Poor, baby boy." He said with a sigh.

"Dmitri, they said that I am already 36 so please, stop telling everyone that I am a baby."

"But you have a baby face." Dmitri told and they laughed.

"Yeah," Bea agreed, and they all agreed. "You are still handsome, and women still gawk at you."

Owen laughed.

"Girls, I don't have time to bought you gifts so, stop making feel like I owe you millions of dollars."

"Sorry, Uncle." The twins Aria and Asher said at the same time. "But you really need to at least change your clothes."

"I—I will." He told. "Let me finish my food first." He told and they all go back to their own business.

After eating, and have a nice cake and drinks, one of the boys let a room for him and Dmitri give him clothes to wear. So, he changed his clothes into a khaki shorts and Hawaiian shirts after a long hot bath and he went to the patio where they are drinking. He sat down and accept the beer.

"So, what's up?" Zachary asked.

"My ex-girlfriend, the one that dump me six years ago because, I slept with someone I don't know, is pregnant at that moment."

"Oh," They all looked at each other.

"So, she's dating?"

"Nope, she's too focused on raising our child."

"Was it a girl or a boy?" Percy asked.

"A boy, looked so much like me."

"DNA test?" Dmitri asked.

"Positive."

"Wow." Andrew said with a grin. "How old is she, again?"

"She's 29 years old."

"Oh—holy shit! You mean, you were dating this girl at the age of 23?"

"Yes."

"It's fine, you weren't mistaken to be 30 at that time." Andrew told and Percy nodded.

"You are still handsome." Percy added.

"What are you going to do now?" Zach asked.

"I make love to her just to make sure that she won't run."

"Oh," They all looked at each other.

"That's so savage of you."

"I love her. All these years and although I was focused on business and everything and I have slept with different women, I still love her."

"What's the reason why you break up?"

"Because she saw me with my ex-girlfriend in the same bed. I don't remember that I fuck my ex because I was very unresponsive at that moment."

"Ah," They all nodded.

"Then after a month, my ex told me that she's pregnant and just as I find out that she wasn't pregnant with me but to someone just to set me up." Owen explained further.

"Wow." Andrew crossed his arms. "So, when will be the wedding?"

"As soon as possible. I have to pursue her first."

"Before that, you need to at least sleep." Zach told.

"Yeah, I need to finish this drink first." He said.

"When we get back to Philippines, you should invite them to our dinner so mom and dad could meet them." Agatha told.

"Yeah, sure."

"Why won't you take a leave? I'll cover up." Percy said.

"Sure?" Owen asked him.

"Yeah. I will cover up." He winked.

After a few drinks, he went to the room that was lent to him and since the boys will be sleeping on the family room on the air mattresses. He reached his phone and called her. It was ringing and ringing.

He hung up and called again. It was ringing and then it was answered.

"Hello?" a sweet voice a boy.

"Hey, buddy, it's daddy."

"Daddy!" He said excitedly. "Where are you, daddy? Won't you come home?"

"I will be home. I'm here in Bahamas to attend Bea's birthday party."

"Who's Bea?"

"You'll meet her soon together with your cousins."

"Really?" He sounds so excited.

"What do you want me to buy you?"

"Anything, daddy. But you really need to come home. Mommy is with a man." He said almost a whisper.

He creased his brows.

"Who is the man?"

"The man name is Bert and he's giving flowers to mommy."

"Ah, okay. I��ll be home soon. Can I speak to your mommy?"

"Sure!" He called out for his mother and give the phone to her. After a while, Veronica answered.

"Hello?"

"Who are with?"

"Owen, I—uh…"

"I'm in Bahamas, what do you want me to buy you?"

"Nothing."

He's silent for a while and thinking some man around her makes him angry.

"I'll be with you soon."

"Owen, let's talk about us when you got home."

"Veronica, I won't let any man near you. Do you understand?"

"We are not together."

"He's my son and even though I have no right on you, I will still pursue that. Leaving me when you are pregnant is very unacceptable."

"Calm down, Owen."

"How can I calm down?"

"We'll talk when you get back."

"I will be there soon." Owen hung up and rubbed his forehead. A soft knock in the door makes him stop and his sister Sarah entered with an ointment.

"Let me massage that hard head of yours." Sarah told.
