James exhaled and put away the photos. He will beat up his son later. But now, he needed to make arrangements. He called Alanis and it only takes a short moment before he answered.

"Yes, James?

"

"I need your plane. Other planes are occupied. I need to get someone from California.

"

"Okay. If you say so. It's not your mistress, right?

"

"No. I don't have a mistress, besides my wife. Anyway, I need it ASAP. Before the family gathering.

"

"Okay. Do whatever you want.

"

"Thank you.

"

James turned to his wife who only looked calm from it. She looked at him.

"What?

" He asked.

Natasha only shrugged.

"They got married in Vegas, huh?

" Natasha chuckled.

"Seemed like I remember something from Vegas. It's unforgettable because someone tried to kill us in the middle of our honeymoon.

"

James knelt in front of her, took her hands, and bring it to his lips.

"You know that I love you so much.

"

"I know.

" She bent down and kissed his head.

"It'll be our anniversary too.

"

"Hmm, what do you prefer?

" She smirked at him.

"To be alone.

" He winked at her.

His phone started ringing and he picked it up.

"Hey, Nathaniel!

" He said in a very strict voice.

"Da~addd… what's up?

"

"Why are you calling?

" He asked coldly.

"Dad! Don't scare me. I need clothes. Can you deliver it?

"

"Get it yourself. Or I'm going to whip that ass of yours.

" He hung up and he received a big slap on his chest from his wife.

"Ow, honey!

"

"Do not do that again to your son.

" She pushed him away.

It's been two weeks now and they are in phase 3 of reconstructing the capsule. It's easier than they thought because of the complete materials. Also, Zachary is there to help with constructing it. Zachary didn't have enough sleep like Natalia, Aria, and Asher. They also changed shift to do it just to finished it right on time.

Cyra finished the nanomites and she tried it with her blood. Now, they just need the capsule to reconstruct a new bone marrow using the nanomites. It's like repairing and making a new one.

Zachary test the tubes. He tested it with water and a mixture of different colors and it's like a dialysis machine. On the other side will be the new bone marrow and the other will be the nanomites.

"It will work,

" Zach told Cyra.

"Thank you, daddy.

"

He winked at her. Luke and Logan high five.

Kelsie is done with cleaning, however, men in a black tuxedo came to her villa. Fanny is currently talking to them. She approached her companion.

"Miss Kelsie?

" The man in black shades looking sharply in his back suit with a brooch on his left chest with a logo of four symbols.

"Yes?

"

"We are from the Dragon Empire and we are picking you up.

"

"What?

" She is too puzzled.

"Kelsie, we will go with them. I received an email from the Knight Empire.

" Fanny said.

"I don't understand.

" Kelsie shook her head.

"Let's go pack your things.

" Fanny takes her to her room.

"I don't understand, Fanny,

" Kelsie mumbled to her.

"Did Nate know about this?

"

"Yes, we'll just pack our clothes.

" They went to the walk-in closet. She watched Fanny packed her clothes neatly into her baggage. Then, she took her tablet and checked as the security stood and checked around.

She needed to call Nate. She reached for her phone. Mason's number popped out and she answered it.

"Mason, there are people in here.

"

"Yes. Uhh, I think you need to chop-chop. We'll lock down the villa.

" Mason told her.

"Why?

"

"Please, Kelsie. Dressed up. Follow them. They will protect you.

"

Jasmine took the photo of Natalia and Nathaniel with a villa behind them. She mentioned that Nate has a villa in Stanford California. Maybe, she'll get something in there. There is also information that she received. A girl's photo is named Kelsie.

"We'll get her. She's a Mondragon.

" Jasmine told her men.

They immediately left the penthouse. It takes time to reached Stanford with a fast jet. They soon reached the villa from the airport using a chopper. They surrounded the house and oddly. The house has a metal bar around it. Like it has been shut down.

They looked around and found no one there.

"We are late.

" Jasmine kicked the pot of flowers.

"Fuck! We are leaving for the Philippines. Right away!

"

<><><><>

Nathaniel couldn't contact Kelsie. So, he checked every room of the villa using the tablet. No one is there. The car is perfectly parked in the garage and he noticed that the bars are activated. He also tried to call Fanny. Now, he's pacing back and forth. He then called Mason.

"Mason, what happened to the villa?

"

"Nate, I'm sorry. We need to shut it down.

"

Nate creased his brows.

"What do you mean?

"

"They are after your wife. Don't worry. She's fine.

"

"Can I talk to her?

"

"No. She's unable to reach this moment.

"

Nate exhaled and leave a message to Kelsie. They aren't divorced yet. He called Zendaya and she answered shortly.

"Hey, Nate.

"

"Where is my wife?

"

"Oh, so you haven't divorced her yet?

" Zendaya asked with a chuckle.

"This is not funny.

"

"She's fine. She's with Fanny and hot bodyguards…

" She teased.

"I'll send you their handsome faces. Since Kelsie knows that she's divorced from you. She can flirt with them.

"

"Fuck you!

"

"Hey, watch your mouth.

"

Nate massaged his forehead. He's losing his ** when it comes to Kelsie. He's always composed and now, he's losing it.

"I'm sorry.

"

"Now, that's a good boy. She's fine. Okay? You don't have to worry.

"

"And my villa is shut down?

"

"Yeah. We have to shut it down. Eagle Empire went there. They are unable to go inside since it's like a fortress. They are planning to take Kelsie to get to you and the nanomites.

"

"Fuck.

" Nate mumbled.

"Yes, I know. I'll see you at the family dinner tomorrow.

"

"I will.

" Nate hung up and searched for that document. He lifted it and took out the papers inside the brown envelope with Kelsie's signature. He started stripping it into pieces and started killing his pillows.

The door opened.

"Wow, here I thought that you are getting killed.

" Natalia scoffed.

"What's with the temper?

" Natalia knew him well. He's silent when he's angry and if he's alone he would burst it out. He'll also ignore a few signs to control himself from hitting and beating someone. But, when Natalia heard from Kale on what happened, she knew that Nathaniel tried hard to keep silent and let Kelsie tell him that a bastard is harassing her.

If Kale wasn't there, Nate might've already killed Ricky.

Natalia reached the shred papers and frowned.

"You divorced her?

"

"Not yet… it's just a dumb signature.

" He mumbled.

"Tsk, you are so dead right now.

" Natalia shook her head. Nate looked up at her.

"Hey, do not mention it!

"

"You are D-E-A-D.

" She spelled it out.

"Ugh.

" He kicked his bed.

"Calm yourself. You need to see this testing.

"

They went to testing. Zachary, Luke, and Logan are inside in protective gear. Cyra is standing, watching them as they put the upgraded-nanomites.

"Are you sure about this?

" Zachary asked Cyra.

"Yes, dad.

"

"Alright. We'll clean it first.

"

Cyra nodded. She closed her eyes and opened it. Nathaniel ran to her. She collapsed and just before she hit the floor, Nate caught her. He winced when his elbow hit the ground. Natalia run to her and checked her.

Ignoring the pain in his elbow and arm, he carried Cyra to her check-up bed. He moved away and let Natalia do the job of checking her. He also called Sam, the doctor of EPUA.

Zachary and the twins Luke and Logan left the creation room, removed their gears, and went to Cyra.

Cyra tried to open her eyes.

"Daddy…

" She mumbled. Zachary held her hand and bring it to his cheeks.

"I'm here.

"

"Daddy…

"

Luke and Logan looked away from their sister. He doesn't want to see her suffer like this. No one does.

"I love you… I love mom too, Zendy, Wynter, Luke… Logan…

"

"Okay. I know. We know. We are going to finish the capsule.

" He kissed her forehead.

"We are going to clean it up.

" Logan left and put his gear back. Luke doesn't want to leave his sister. But he followed Logan.

She slowly loses consciousness.

"Cy, baby?

" Zachary reached her face. Soon, the door opened and Samantha entered the room.

"Zach, I'm going to check on her.

" Zachary gently put her hand on the mattress and stepped away.

Zachary held his head. This is the first time that he sees his little girl hopeless. They had gone through a lot. Andromeda doesn't want to see this too. He's the father, and he should protect them. But then, he failed to Cyra. However, thinking about it. He didn't fail yet. He won't fail her.

He went back inside and help Luke and Logan. They won't sleep tonight. They need to finish it.
