After their spa, they ate their lunch in a pavilion. Everyone is peeving Timothy calling him gay. Timothy teased them back that he's going to touch their boobs. Zendaya kept laughing from it. So, every time that Timothy came to them, they would put their shirt on and covered their chests.

Laurence already had a trauma from the twins Rhys and Raiden and Kale. Now, Kale felt like Timothy is a maniac. But somehow, Timothy is just sad because they got greater bodies than him.

​​

"Dad, is there something wrong?" Demi asked.

"What wrong?" Dmitri asked. Demi stared at him. Dmitri understood that stuff so, he shook his head. "There's nothing, honey."

She knew well that there's something wrong.

"You guys relax today because later at seven, the party will start." He told. She only nodded and Christian put the shrimps on her plate that he peeled for her.

"You guys ready everything for Monday. It will be a long weekdays training." Andromeda told. "For the graduates, girls and boys kick some asses. Athena is leading on top. Demi, Bea, Kale—guys, do it, please. I know that Demi has been aggressive and there's only one who could go on the top. But girls—boys, please."

"Auntie, I don't want to be on the top. I hate facing people and I dislike being on stage." Demi told.

"Well, if you say so." Andromeda shrugged. "How about Natalia and Nathaniel?"

"Auntie, we still made it on the top ten." The twins told.

"Babe, but you love being on top of me, right?" Christian whispered to his ear and she turned to him and winked. Christian hid his grin and continue eating.

"Don't feed me a lot. I had enough shrimps." Demi told him.

"Okay." Christian nodded.

Their family lunch is always perfect with their grandparents. Afterward, everyone left to do their other stuff. Demi and the girls went to her room to put makeup on each other. Chelsea, Natalia, and Bea are good with the stuff so, they make her pretty and the little girls also joined them. Esme is helping them with their hair.

On the other side, Sophia is filming.

"So, on your upcoming wedding, we'll be like this," Bea said. "Who will be your maid of honor?"

Demi thought for a while and she shrugged.

"Christian hasn't proposed yet," Demi told.

"It's fine. You should start planning though." Bea told. "Don't tell me that I should get married first."

"Are you certain that Noah will propose to you?" Athena asked. Bea stopped and shrugged.

"He said that he'll take responsibility for me," Bea told.

"Men are like that. They'll say that they'll take responsibility and then soon, poof. They'll runoff." Athena explained. "But not all men are like that." She told.

"Timothy told me that he'll take responsibility when we make love on our first date," Zendy said with a shrug. "It's okay with me if he won't marry me. But it's not okay if he cheated on me. I'm going to beat him into a pulp and make sure that he won't fuck anyone ever again."

"What do you mean by 'he won't fuck anyone ever again'? Is that for real? Are you going to cut off his—thing?" Athena asked.

Zendaya laughed so loud.

"No, darling. He didn't get any hard on to any woman."

"What?" Athena creased her brows. "Is that even possible?"

"Hey! Stop talking about that. We have kids here." Natalia interjected.

"Sorry." Athena and Zendaya said at the same time. But they get close together to talk.

"So, how is that possible?" Athena whispered to her.

"Well, while I was gone to Madagascar, I review the cameras. I have secret shit in the bathroom and my bedroom." She explained shortly then continue. "He is watching porn and he watches it with popcorn in the bed."

Athena laughed.

"Like he's just watching some movie. But he never jacked off. He watched again the other night and again and again. Then, he talked to his buddy like 'damn it! Why aren't you damn hard? You were hard a while ago while talking to Zendy. Buddy, we can't release tonight because Zendy isn't here.' Then, he just went straight to sleep."

"What?" Athena chuckled. "I can't believe that. There will be a time that he's going to leave the house."

Zendaya shook her head.

"He only just went to the new café and then back home again to work and then to my parent's house."

"Odd." Athena shrugged. "Usually men like Timothy's appearance would go and fuck others."

"Yeah." Zendaya nodded. "I agree with you. So, how did Xavier cheat on you?" Zendaya asked.

Athena sighed.

"I don't know. He just stopped messaging me." She said a little lonely and she stops. Did Zendaya just ask her back? "Wait—tsk. I should've talked to you." Athena mumbled.

"If we didn't have this conversation, I wouldn't know." She shrugged. Athena didn't have a plan to tell it to everyone. She usually wanted to keep it to herself. But now, Zendaya somehow made a way to make her talk. "So?"

"Let's not talk about it over here." She said.

"Okay." Zendy shrugged.

*****

Freya's phone shows that it's a red alert in Manhattan. There are an explosion and three men down. EPUA didn't make a move and their job is to facilitate around. Andromeda should be relaxing after making herself beautiful, but even she will be very busy.

Since EPUA is frozen as a reserve, Freya evacuates all of her men living close by. There might be another attack and the government of Manhattan is already investigating with the Phoenix Empire. But Freya, won't just sit down and let her men suffer.

"Don't tell me that you are leaving the country to Manhattan? Freya, it's Demi's birthday." Steven tried to calm her down but somehow, she won't even calm down a sec.

"Steven, those are my people. I don't care if they bomb one of my businesses. But those lives that have been taken should be paid with life." Freya gritted her teeth.

"Okay!" Steven raised his hands. "But stay for the night. Then, tomorrow, we could leave. I'll accompany you to Manhattan."

"I can go there alone. I need you to watch over the kids."

"Freya," Steven exhaled and put his hands down. "I will accompany you. I'll let mom take care of the kids. The twins are very responsible, and they can take care of the girls, while they are in the Academy."

He approached her and scooped her cheek.

"Babe, I'll go with you. Whether you like it or not."

Freya calmed down and she wrapped her arms around him.

"I'll tell the kids to ready their things this Monday and after the party, we could leave for Manhattan."

He caressed her hair and kissed her top head.

"Thank you, Babe."

"You don't have to thank me. I love you, and you are my wife."

*****

Everyone had gathered for the party and they started singing on the karaoke even though the party hasn't started yet they seemed to be having fun. Andromeda helped on facilitating around and helping the maids and the crew to set up the table. Then, she looked at Freya on the balcony sipping on her wine. She looked very stress and as a family, she already set up the plane for them.

"I already contact my team to keep an eye on them. But unfortunately," Sabrina sent her a photo. Andromeda checked her phone and zoom it. "De la Fontaine is there with other friends."

"Oh," Andromeda looked at Timothy who is busy fixing the girl's braids with Esme. "De la Fontaine. I hate hearing that French name, however, my daughter is marrying one." Andromeda shrugged. "Life is a paradox."

Sabrina laughed.

"I need to agree with you." Then they looked at Demi and Christian. Christian is always supportive, caring, and like a butler to Demi.

"I think we should start the show and let Freya enjoy a little. She doesn't look well after the bombing." Andromeda told. Sabrina agreed to it. "Cyra!" She called out and Cyra approached her. "I'll give you a mission." Andy grinned at her. Cyra grinned.

"Sure."

"Later, after the party, go with your Uncle Steven and Aunt Freya to Manhattan."

Cyra thought for a while and nodded.

"Okay, no problem. What do you want me to do?"

Andy patted her head and bent down to whispered it to her. Cyra nodded and smirked. Then, after that, they make a handshake and she left to go to the main house probably to her room. Zendaya approached her.

"Now, you tell Cyra about the problem. Why not tell me?" Zendaya confronted. Andy chuckled.

"Darling, if I tell you, the news will spread like a virus."

"Seriously, mom. Demi already knows that something is off."

"Let's just go back there and enjoy the party. Okay?"

Zendaya sighed.

"Mother,"

"Zendaya, I'll tell it later. But we must enjoy the party first. It's good that only a few people know about the situation. Okay? Just enjoy the party and make Demi happy."

"She's already happy whenever Christian is around and making some goofy actions," Zendaya told.

"Goofy, huh?" Andy chuckled.

"Yes." Zendy sighed and looked at Athena who is laughing and drinking her first champagne. "Screw it!"
