She said that she wanted some snacks and for tonight. So, they passed by the convenience store and then buy a few chips and then, ice cream and other stuff. He paid for everything and his phone chimes. He texted his dad that they just buy something and then after hearing that it's an emergency and they need to go. He immediately took the items after paying for it and he grabbed her wrist.

"Is there something wrong?" She asked.

​​

"Dad already sent bodyguards in our location."

Black cars of the Pattinson with a Lion on front arrived and two come out from the car. He nodded at them and he opened the door for Esme. Esme entered the car and he gave the items and closes it. He immediately went to the driver's seat and then he drove the car back home.

When they reached home, few bodyguards had gathered, and his father is holding Zayne as he checked them one by one.

One of the bodyguards opened the car door for Esme and she came out. Ashaya sighed and approached them.

"What's wrong?" He asked his mother. Then, Ashaya checked on Esme.

"Esme, go to your room and change your clothes," Ashaya said. "Go to your dad," Ashaya told him.

This is something odd. Is this an emergency? He stood beside his father.

"Why the sudden increase of guards?" Laurence asked.

"Check them one by one and scan them."

Laurence nodded and took out his phone to check the details. It's legit that they are from the Dragon Empire. Percy set up bodyguards to Esme and Ashaya. Laurence didn't need a bodyguard, but Percy still set up for Laurence.

After that, Percy dismissed them to their rooms and then they went to his office. Percy is still holding baby Zayne until there.

"Why Zayne is here?" He asked.

"He's a man and he needs to learn such things."

Laurence chuckled.

"Okay."

Percy sat down with Zayne on his lap.

"So, Andromeda somehow got an emergency with others," Percy said. "Then, Andel said that we need to increase security. The Eagle Empire is planning to kidnap Demi and Agatha to hurt Dmitri and bring us down. Since we have this motto that family comes first, then if one of the first lady and heiress got kidnapped—it'll be a fall down of one empire."

"I understand," Laurence said.

"Since Esme is your sister. I don't plan to introduce her, Zayne, and your upcoming sibling to the media. You should show less on the internet."

"How about the girls that I am dating?" Laurence asked. Percy smirked at him.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Well—I break up from my last girlfriend."

"Why?" Percy asked.

"Well, I don't like her anymore," Laurence said trying not to look away or tell his dad that his ex-girlfriend hit Esme's head. Well—it's kind-a like hitting.

"Hmm? You don't like the lovemaking from her?" Percy asked.

"I don't like it." He agreed.

"Do you love, Esme?" Percy asked. Laurence nodded.

"Yeah, she's my sister."

Percy nodded.

"Go change your clothes and eat your dinner with your sister."

"Okay." Laurence nodded.

He left and went to his room to changed his clothes. He already had a bath from his rest house and he smells manly and good. He went downstairs and the maids and her mother prepare their foods. Laurence hugged her mother and kissed her cheek.

"Laurence, don't go out again like that."

"Mom, dad just scared you a little. You should relax. It'll be bad for my upcoming sister."

Ashaya chuckled.

"Okay." Ashaya nodded. "Esme, sweetie," Ashaya called.

"Here," Esme approached her and Ashaya hugged her tightly. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I was just nervous." She told. "So, did you enjoy the beach?" She asked. Esme nodded with a big smile. "Okay. Good. Now, eat with your brother. I'll just make Zayne's milk. And the two of you should also sleep. You still have a shopping appointment with the girls."

"We will." They said at the same time.

Demi rubbed her eyes and checked a few details on the computer.

"So, what's their next mission?" Bea asked her father.

"I'll send the guys to Russia with the Rose Empire." Fin said. "Jaxon is working to the Rose Empire and Masen is to the Knight Empire. They are our top agents and so, we only trust them with this."

Bea sighed. Demi can feel Bea's despair.

"Okay." Bea nodded.

"Don't worry. They'll be fine." Fin told. She nodded at him.

"I think I should go," Andel said with a yawn. "We still have a shopping appointment tomorrow."

"We'll leave too," Sabrina said.

"Sure. You all drive safely." Andromeda said.

"We will." The three said.

Demi exhaled. Something will be wrong with this mission. So, she looked at Fin who looked confident as he speaks with Andromeda. They left with Dmitri and Moira. She wonders what it was.

"Don't mind it, Demi. They are planning something big." Zendaya said.

"How big is it? Why aren't we included?" I asked.

"I think it's about how to save our agents." Thunder said and shrugged. "We all know that once that they enter this mission, it'll be a wreck. Those ninjas will start targeting our agents. Since they have that great Russian-Hacker named Jacob Ike."

"You are right." Bea nodded. "Tsk. Damn it." Bea mumbled.

"What's pissing you?" Zendy asked.

"You see, if Noah is with them—they will target him. Just like in my vision. We'll go to his Penthouse and he'll die there with me and dad."

"Oh, shit," Demi exclaimed.

"Yes. So, since we already know what's going to happen, Dad and I already had a plan for it. I hope it will work."

"It will work," Thunder assured them.

"I hope that I have that positive thought of yours," Bea said to her brother.

"You can have it. I'll send it to you." He winked.

"Whatever." Bea shook her head.

*****

Laurence and Esme are in the movie room as they relaxed on the beautiful reclining chair just for the movie while eating their chips and ice cream. Esme had forced herself to eat ice cream and not to sing for a day. She's also drinking a cold soda while her brother is drinking some beer.

They should laugh about the movie, but it's a damn horror and it scared her a lot. They are watching the movie Nun. The scariest movie from 2018. It has good quality and it's HD.

They both screamed when a real nun appeared just beside them and stand there. They both shuddered and Laurence throw his popcorn to that nun and Percy burst out laughing as he removed the realistic mask of the nun.

"Dad!" They shouted at him.

"Why are you guys watching without me and mommy?"

"Well, we don't know that you want to watch that," Laurence said and Percy sat on the chair still wearing that black outfit. "Where did you get that?"

"I bought it online." He winked. "I'll scare the others with his outfit for the coming Halloween."

"Wow," Laurence mumbled.

"Well, I won't interrupt, I need to help your mom with Zayne. You guys, enjoy. Good night." He said and kissed Laurence's top head and then Esme's top head. Like he would do to his real daughter.

"Night, Dad." The two said at the same time.

Esme reached her chest and Laurence laughed.

"Damn, that got you too?" Laurence laughed.

"Who wouldn't. That was so realistic." Esme said and she threw away the popcorns that flew into her hair.

"Damn, I have never been had a companion like this in the house. When mom and dad are with me, they kept flirting."

Esme laughed.

"At least your parents are lovable."

"Our parents." He corrected and patted her head.

After that, Esme seemed not to want to sleep alone. She's completely scared, and Laurence felt a little tipsy. So, he continued laughing at her until they reached their bedrooms.

"I think I can't sleep. We shouldn't watch horror." Esme complained to him.

"Just go to sleep or something." Laurence entered his room.

Esme changed her clothes and lay down on the bed. She kept the lights on and then, she went to the bathroom many times. Damn it. She nearly screamed when she saw something on the window. She approached the window when there's nothing. Maybe, it's because of too much television. She closed the window and she ran off her room after closing the lights. She entered Laurence's room and she shook him.

He's sleeping heavily.

"Laurence." She shook him again.

"Hmm."

"I think there's a ghost in my room or something."

"It's nothing." He mumbled. She pouted with a frown.

"Laurence. I did saw something in my room."

Laurence moved to the other side and put a pillow between them.

"Here, just for this night."

She slipped on the duvet and she turned to him.

"Is there a ghost at my back? I suddenly feel chills."

Laurence looked past her.

"Nah, it's nothing." He patted her head. "Good night."

She sighed and closed her eyes. So, much for scaring her.

Laurene sat up because he needed to pee in the middle of the night. He went to his bathroom and do his business and then he went back to bed and just realize that Esme is there. It's a good thing that he had his clothes on.

He lay down and slipped to his blanket and stared at her adorable face for a while. Something is odd. He didn't know what.
