Nate gave her a night that she'll forever remember. He kissed her forehead, slipped off from bed, and went to the bathroom. He takes a bath, brushed his teeth, put his clothes on, and took his bag. 

 He went out of the walk-in closet and looked in her direction. She sat up and brushed her disheveled hair.

​​

"I'm leaving."

"I see." She mumbled. "Do you want breakfast before you leave?"

"I'm fine." He approached her and scooped her face. "Live your life. You are too young to be tied up to me. I have fun living with you and you are a great wife." He kissed her lips. He left the room and closed the door behind him.

 He went to his study room and took the rest of the files. Then, he went outside where Mason is waiting to pick him up. Then, the agent named Fanny greeted him.

"Take care of her. I'll call to check up on her."

"I will, sir."

"Thank you." He said. He walked to the car and Mason opened the front seat and took his bag.

 He looked up the master's bedroom, in the window. She had the sheet around her petite body and she looked down at him. He looked away. He didn't want to see her in tears. She can't fall in love with him. Firstly, it's just a contract. Second, it should be just sex. Third, he can't fall in love again.

"So, you are completely leaving her?" Mason asked as he drove away from the villa.

"Yes."

"Hmm," Mason bounced his head. "You love her."

"She's my wife."

"What type of comment is that?" Mason asked him. 

 Nathaniel took the identical tablet from his bag, delaying his answer, and checked her. She's lying on the bed hugging his pillow and crying. He immediately put it away.

"She can't be tied up to me. She's still young."

"You are twenty-five. She's like twenty-four? Well, the two of you can be together at that age."

"It's fun." He mumbled. Mason creased his brows.

"No. Do not tell me that getting married in Vegas and fucking the girl is fun. Both of your feelings~~let's say the heart is at risk. You just did risk yours and hers."

"If I still thought about her. Then, I might come back to her."

"And what if she's already married to someone else?" Mason rose his left brow to him and he looked back in the driveway.

"Well…" he mumbled. Did he just let go of someone that he shouldn't?

"You also forget to leave your ring. Or do you want your divorce files to be sent in the court?"

"No. I—I don't have much time. They need me there."

 Cyra told her parents not to attend her graduation on that day. She's glad that they didn't arrive to surprise her. She will hate it. Even her brothers. However, they are back in the Philippines and her father hugged her tightly. She then got scolded by them for not telling about her condition. Her brothers, Luke and Logan are just quiet standing at the corner when they find out about her condition.

"How did you find out?" Cyra asked her father.

"Butler Samson told me," Zach said. "Just recently."

"Don't worry," her mother in teary eyes knelt in front of her and reached her warm hands. "You'll be fine. We'll take care of this."

 She hurt them. She hurt her mother mostly. Her mother is in pain more. Both of her parents are afraid to lose a child. Because they already lost one.

"You look so small and thin," Andromeda mumbled, and she caressed her hair. Seeing her mother's tears rolled from her cheeks makes her eyes heated as tears started forming. Her nose also felt it.

"I'm sorry, mommy." Cyra hugged her mother.

"It's alright, baby. Mommy will do everything. Okay?" Andy promised her. 

 She started sobbing and hugged her mother. Andromeda caressed her daughter's hair. She looked up at her father who is in so much heartbreak and he knelt and hugged her mother and her. He kissed her forehead.

"It'll be fine." He smiled at her.

 Zendaya isn't happy about it at all. Wynter hugged her big sister and Zendaya wrapped her arms around Wynter. Wynter found out about Cyra falling into illness, and Zendaya received it too. They weren't sure about the illness but now, they know.

 Zendaya knew that one of the twins might match a DNA for bone marrow. Yet she didn't know what else to do. Maybe the only way is to construct that capsule. But maybe she can be saved with the hospital treatment.

 After everyone are calm. The triplets sit together in the same seat and Luke and Logan will surely focused on taking care of their sister than anything else in the world. When the three were born, Cyra mostly gets sick since she's the least who get nutrients from their mother while she's pregnant with them. Until this happened.

"It will be fine." Zendaya murmured to Wynter. She kissed her forehead.

"We need to increased protection," Wynter told her.

"Yes, don't worry. I will do everything." She patted her head. Wynter nodded at her, completely trusting her. Family should come first.

 Wynter went to the sofa and hugged her big sister. Zendaya went to the dining room and she heard her parents talking. Her father hugging her mother as her mother burst into tears in front of him.

"She's not dead yet," Zachary said. "Stop crying. I know that it hurts. I know that you are afraid. But it won't happen again. I promise you."

 Zendaya sighed. Her mother would rather die first than seeing them suffer. Her mother composed herself.

"Okay." She nodded at Zach. "Let's do this. Cyra is a smart girl. She can do this."

"Yes. Butler Samson sent me ingredients to decrease the lymphocytes. I will verify it without using chemicals. It will help her bone barrow to decrease in releasing lymphocytes. I will do everything for our little girl."

"I trust you."

 Zach kissed her forehead. Zendaya left the dining room and went back to the family room where the triplets are discussing how to build it up. Then, other stuff. Cyra created the nonomites with the help of her brothers. So, now, they will be there for her no matter what.

 Zendaya called Ashton to meet her up. She left the room and drove her motorbike to the Empire Café. She glanced at Demi on the other side with Christian as they have their romantic dinner. Then, she approached Ashton.

"What's up?" He asked and he already served drinks and foods.

"Thank you but I don't have much time for that."

"Hmm, it's my new dish."

 Zendaya nodded and have a taste of the pasta that he made some twist on it. She nodded and chewed her food. Then, she sipped on the bubble tea.

"Well, I just wanted to ask about Butler Samson?"

"What about him?" He asked as he sipped on his smoothie.

"About him and Cyra. On why he reported to dad in very late."

"That's because he signed a contract with Cyra. That would cost his job and his position in the Knight Empire."

"What?" Zendaya creased her brows.

"Butler Samson is also here in the Philippines… away in the mountains. He risked his living for Cyra. In my position, I will do the same. Cyra is in stage 3 now. Butler Samson did his job to protect Miss Cyra."

 Zendaya had thought about it. He needed to save the poor man from the contract.

"That man is protecting her all this time and the files. So, your dad sent him to her. He also found out that the maid is acting weird and strange, so he took the chance to follow her. He retrieved the sample and the drafts. But I assume that she already scanned it but not the sample. He's nearly died too, so I have to use it for him. He's also cleansed and chose to leave the Knight Empire."

"Hmm," Zendaya sipped her bubble tea and popped the popping bear in her mouth as the sweet cherry flavor explodes. "Poor guy."

"Yes, I just recently found out that he sold his villa in Miami after he caught his fiancée fucking a man in their room."

"Oh," Her eyes widen.

"Yup. He just mentioned randomly while we are drinking at the Elite Bar last night. He also said that he realized something while he's serving Lady Cyra."

"And what is that?"

"He said that life is full of mysteries and while you are alive, you should live your life into fuller. Lady Cyra doesn't want treatment from the hospital because it will make her feel worst. So, instead of staying there, she will find a way to live."

"That's depressing." Zendaya just realized it now. Life is full of sh-ts sometimes. Now, she will convince Uncle Alanis to get back to Butler Samson.

"Well, the Knight Empire didn't kick out Samson. He already finished his mission and he chose to leave. It's like a vacation leave. You don't have to worry."

"Hmm. I should know about him more." Zendaya proceeds to eat the pasta.
