Zendaya knew that the news is expected. They somehow talked to the new president but he seemed to brush them off. So, they have no choice to facilitate the items from Russia. The election is in a few weeks and the Vice President had lots of supporters. If the President didn't participate with them, it only means that they have to use force.

"I can't send Christian and others in any mission to avoid it,

" Andy said.

"I understand, mom.

" Zendaya crossed her arms. Zendaya shifts another news and it's in Russia. There's an arson to Ilya's house. Zendaya knew the location and it's where Claus lives.

"The f-ck.

" She mumbled.

"Yes,

" Andromeda showed her Ilya's message. It's a threat and he showed photos that a Dragon agent is from there. It's in the video too. He's up for a war.

"Is Clause dead?

"

"No,

" She shook her head. I think Jacob finds out that Clause is alive. Now, they want to take the nanomites and put us down.

"

Zendaya massaged her forehead.

"This is what we expected?

" Zendaya asked. Andy nodded at her.

"Hmm, I know that Jacob will threaten Ilya. But framing us with the thing he did…

"

"Yes,

"

"F-ck. Just what I and Demi had thought.

"

"I know. We have to ready for everything. Your siblings and your dad are upgrading the bomb detector.

"

"I will.

"

Zendaya left her office and went to Demi's office in the Phoenix facility. She showed her access and she went directly to her office. She knocked first but when she opened it, she just saw that Christian and Demi are kissing in the middle of work.

"The ** guys!

" She scolded. Christian pulled away and chuckled.

"I'm leaving,

" Christian said. Demi shrugged.

"It's not a porno!

" Demi told her. She shook her head. Christian smacked Demi's butt and whispered to her ear. Then, he salutes and left.

Zendaya went to the sofa and slump there.

"Don't tell me that you guys ** in here.

"

"No. I have a sleeping quarter.

" Demi pointed to her sleeping quarter.

"Whatever.

" She rolled her eyes.

"What's up?

"

"Jacob is the one who is making a move.

"

"Yeah, I heard from your mom. Cyra expected it. Claus is safe and with Ilya. The two are fighting over it.

" Demi said.

"How did you know?

" Zendaya asked. Then, her eyes widen.

"Fuck, don't tell me…

"

"Double agent.

" She winked.

"Working in the Rose Empire. But, it's a secret.

"

"It's predictive,

" Zendaya said.

"But they won't know.

"

"They won't know and that agent is risking his life for it,

" Demi said.

"Who else knows about it?

"

"You, me, dad, and Uncle Viktor.

"

"I feel nervous about this,

" Zendaya said.

"But it's thrilling.

"

Camila enjoyed it. It felt like nonstop lovemaking. They will just stop when they are tired and hungry or need to go off to the bathroom. She never expected that Rhys would do it on every corner of the penthouse and every floor of the house.

She's tired and aching but, she didn't want to sleep and just be with him and to watch him.

"What's the reason why your mom is sending you to Chicago?

" She asked.

"It's work-related.

" He looked at her bare breast and shove his face there and started sucking.

"And you'll stay for two months?

"

"Yeah, if I finished it quickly, I might be home earlier.

"

"Why do you keep sucking that?

" She hissed at him. He looked up at her and kissed her lips.

"I love sucking it.

"

She bit her lip and attack him with a kiss.

"Let's screw-like bunnies!

" Rhys said and he pulled her on top of him.

<><><><>

48 hours later. Rhys finally left her penthouse. He had a flight in three hours. His mom already set up his clothes and gears. She didn't wake her up. He left that afternoon after kissing her forehead, her nose, and her lips. Leaving words on her ears.

"I'll be back for you.

" Even though he knew that she wouldn't hear it.

He picked up his clothes and the driver is waiting for him to drop him off at the airport. He exhaled and checked the time. Then, he stared at her number.

"Should I text her?

" He mumbled.

"Tsk.

" He put his phone down.

"I think you should text her.

"

He stopped and turned around.

"What in hell are you doing here?

" Rhys asked.

"Same as why you are here.

" Jaxon shrugged.

"I know that you are angry at me because your girlfriend found me handsome!

"

"No!

"

"No~~what? No, she's not your girlfriend or no, I am not handsome?

"

Rhys stopped for a while thinking of what to choose.

"The second one.

"

"So, you just left your girlfriend without saying goodbye?

" Jaxon asked and he exhaled depressingly.

"Poor girl.

"

Rhys exhaled.

"She's sleeping.

"

"So?

" Jaxon asked.

"It's not like she won't read the message after she wakes up.

"

"F-ck,

" Rhys said.

"You love her,

" Jaxon grinned and move closer to him as he leaned over the sofa facing him.

"Yes, she's my best friend.

"

"Aw, it's stupid of you to reason that she's your best friend that's why you love her.

" Jaxon messed his already messy hair.

"When you come back, you have to make it up with her.

"

"Jaxon, do not get close to my girl.

"

Jaxon laughed.

"You were guys are sleeping together. You are acting like a lover and a boyfriend but you never tell her what you feel.

"

"You are a love expert, are you? But I heard that you never had a girlfriend?

" Rhys said.

"Pfft! Girls are not for me.

"

"So, boys are you for you?

" Rhys asked. Jaxon grinned and gently reached his face. He slapped it away. Jaxon laughed.

"You see your face, dude!

"

"I'm serious here!

"

"No,

" Jaxon said.

"What I mean is, there's no one right for me yet.

"

"You are too choosy.

"

"It's better that we weren't into a relationship with someone. Since we've been in a countless danger.

" Jaxon said and he relaxed.

"That way, it's easy for me to risk my life to anyone of you without worrying that someone is waiting for me.

"

Rhys suddenly felt sad towards Jaxon.

"You are so dramatic,

" Rhys said to break the sadness. Jaxon only laughed.

"So, you have no family?

"

"None. I'm living alone.

" Jaxon said.

"That's sad.

"

"I wasn't sad at all when I am protecting everyone.

"

"You need to get laid,

" Rhys said.

"We'll hit a bar when we get there and get laid.

"

Jaxon smacked his head.

"You aren't going to get laid,

" Jaxon said.

" What if you impregnate someone there, huh? How about Camila? If you impregnate her too?

" He smacked him again.

"Don't be stupid!

"

"Ow! I am not going to get laid. You are! I will just be at the door and wait for you until you are finished.

"

Rhys's phone started ringing.

<><><><>

Camila felt his kiss from her forehead to her nose and her lips. She also heard what he said. She rolled in the bed after he left and pulled his pillow and hugged it. She didn't want to leave the bed. It smelled like him. Somehow, it comforts her broken heart.

She stopped when the doorbell rang. She put a shirt on and then her robe. She went to the door and checked the monitor. A delivery guy? She pushed the button.

"Yes?

"

"Delivery from Asian Season to Miss Camila?

"

"I didn't order.

"

"It's from Sir Rhys, Ma'am.

" He showed his Dragon Badge.

"Okay, can you please leave it in the door?

"

"Will, do ma'am.

"

She watched as the man left, she went to the door and took it. She put it inside and then she run to the bedroom and reached for her phone. There's no message from Rhys. She clicked the call button and tapped his number. It's ringing. It means that he hasn't left the country.

Her heart is palpating or more like going crazy.

"Hello?

"

"Rhys, did you sent me a food from Asian Season?

"

"Yeah, I did. They will deliver your food every dinner. I need to make sure that you aren't starving yourself.

"

"Rhys,

" She bit her lips as tears started streaming down her cheeks. She wiped it.

"You are still annoying me even if you are leaving?

"

Rhys laughed.

"Hey, you have to store a lot of energy. And check the drawers in your walk-in closet. I got a surprise there for you.

"

"I-I will. Have a safe trip.

"

"I'll call you when I get to my destination. My flight has been called.

"

"Okay.

" She sniffled. Rhys already hung up when she burst into an ugly cry. She put her phone away and went to the walk-in closet. It's all sexy negligee and well-organized sex toys and vibrators.

She sat on the carpet. She folds her knees and hugged it. She loved Rhys so much, and she's a coward to tell him. She stopped crying and wiped her tears. She took her phone with her and went to the kitchen to eat. She washed her hands as she sniffled. Then, she started eating while watching her videos with Rhys as he filmed, and they talked about crazy stuff.
