Demi finally left Christian's penthouse. Bodyguards are outside waiting for her with her brother Dominic. They aren't letting her stay alone in Christian's penthouse. But she'll visit tomorrow again. She doesn't know what happened to her love but she'll know everything soon.

"You know, I can't let you stay there,

" Dominic said.

"Yes, whatever.

" She shrugged.

Dominic put his arms around his sister and led her to the car. The bodyguard opened the back of the sedan for them. Then, he sat beside her. He unbuttoned his coat and exhaled. Demi sighed and took out her phone.

"No update from dad?

" She asked.

"None,

" Dominic said.

It's an hour's drive to the mansion. As soon as they reached the mansion, her mom was waiting at the door. She knew that she made her mom worried but they are all worried about Christian and her dad. After the mission, their dad went out for negotiation. They knew that it's dangerous.

"Good that you are here.

" Agatha hugged her.

They went inside and her brothers were there too. The kitchen is the first thing that she visits. The boys already prepared something for her. She sat down and ate with them. It's been a while since she last eats with them like this. But her dad is missing. She knew that her mom is lonely and worried that her father is not here and she feels the same. They missed Christian too. Everyone is fond of him. Even her mother and father treated him like a son.

They all stopped when Agatha's phone started ringing. She checked it and answered it immediately and put it on speaker.

"D?

"

"Hey, my beautiful wife!

"

"Dad!

" They all shouted.

"Woah! They are there too?

"

Agatha exhaled relieved.

"Yes, we are here. Where are you?

"

"Well, I'm somewhere. I don't know.

" Dmitri said.

"Love, come home,

" Agatha said.

"I will come home. Don't worry.

"

"Dad, we miss you,

" Demi said.

"There you are, Princess. Of course, you miss me. I'll be home before you know it. For now, I will just check on a few things.

" Then, Dmitri hung up. Agatha checked the phone again. Someone hugged her from behind and everyone shrieks which makes Agatha froze.

"I love you,

" Dmitri whispered to her ear. Agatha turned to him. She stood and hugged him.

Demi stood from her seat and hugged him too. The boys came to go for group hugs.

Kale watched as Christina massaged his head. He's been sleepless because of her sudden cravings in the middle of the night and also because she craves sex all of the sudden.

"Close your eyes.

" She told him.

"I'll keep on massaging you until you fall asleep.

"

Kale closed his eyes and hummed on the good massaged. They are in the great room and Christina is bored. All she did was sleep and eat and she didn't want that. They will be off shopping later but now, Kale needs some nap. Also, he needed to give her something. He reached it from his pocket. He opened his eyes and then he opened it for her and put the box over his forehead.

"Kale?

" She asked and reached the box.

"What's this?

"

"That's a ring, dummy.

"

"Ring?

"

"Don't you know a ring?

"

"I know but why are you giving me one?

"

"Because I love you and I want to marry you?

"

"I know that. But you don't need to buy an expensive ring to seal it.

"

Kale reached her left hand and kissed it.

"Baby, I can't sit up. I might get dizzy. So, let me put that on.���

She giggled as she took the ring from the box and gave it to him. He put the ring to her and kissed it.

"I love you, baby.

"

"I love you too.

" She bent down and kissed his lips.

"Now, go take a nap.

"

"Let's go to our room.

" He said.

"I think you should nap with me.

"

"Okay.

" She smiled. He sat up and reached her hand. They went upstairs to nap. Kale immediately drifted to sleep while she continued massaging his face.

She lay beside him and hugged him. Christina admired the big diamond that is shaped as oblong. She removed it and read the words inside the ring. Her heart melted when she read it. I love you, Tina. She put it back, holding her tears. She hugged him tightly.

As soon as she arrived at her penthouse, a delivery man was already in front of a package. She creased her brows. She didn't order anything. She checked it. It got her name there and Ashton's number. She remembered that he said that he'll buy her new sex toys.

"Please sign this, ma'am.

"

She signed it and then she opened her unit and entered the box. She put it on the table. She stood and stared at it. Should she open it? However, Ashton won't be with her anymore. She should give it back to him.

She sobbed and held her cry. She removed her shoes and put them on the shoe rack feeling so drained. She removed her clothes and went to bed. She turned on the air conditioner and snuggled to the pillows. This isn't the moment that she wanted to happen. Not by crying alone in her bed.

She didn't know how long she'd been crying and sleeping. But the ring of the doorbell wakes her up. She rubbed her eyes. She reached for her robe and put it on. She walked to the monitor and checked the person. There are Jaxon and Mason? She creased her brows. Why did they leave the facility early?

She opened the door and the two entered and greeted her. They sat on the sofa comfortably.

"What are you doing here?

" She asked and crossed her arms. The two didn't look at her. Mason raised his hand.

"Close your chest!

"

She looked down at her chest. It shows her cleavage. She fixed it and tied her silk robe tightly.

"So, what are you guys doing here?

"

"Well, we are bored. Do you want to go clubbing?

"

"The two of you are aware that you can't drink any alcohol.

"

"We aren't drinking. Rhys, Camila, Kale, Christina, and others will be in the club. Well, except for Ashton.

"

"Yeah, sure.

" She nodded.

"Now, get dressed, beautiful lady and we'll watch some porno,

" Jaxon said. Natalia snickered.

"There's indeed a porno just search for it.

" She said and left.

Mason immediately ran to the kitchen to grab chips and other foods and drinks. They set up the table and Jaxon started scanning for something to watch.

"Minions!

" The two exclaimed and watched Despicable Me cartoons as they ate.

Natalia thought that the two are watching porn. She's getting ready. Wearing a fitted shirt and a sleeveless blouse. She straightened her hair. She went to the room, and the boys thumb up to her.

"You look beautiful. Now grab your jacket!

" Mason commanded. She rolled her eyes and went back to grab her jacket and her purse. Then, she went back to them. In the low sound of the television, she thought that they were watching porn.

"I thought you guys are watching porn.

"

"It's boring.

" The two answered.

She went to the fridge to grab something to eat. She's so hungry, and just when she's shoving herself on eating the fruits. She stopped. All of it has something to do with Ashton. She put it back there, wiped her lips, and drank on her water. She looked up at the ceiling trying hard not to cry. Ashton helped her with the grocery and when she's lazy, she would just give him lists for him to buy.

"Hey, let's go.

" Jaxon and Mason said. She nodded and followed the boys.

They soon reached the club. They set up the second floor just for them and Kale is dancing in front of this girl named Christina. Kale introduced her to everyone as his fiancée. She greeted Christina and they knew Camila who is as crazy as Rhys as they started laughing and pissing everyone.

She ordered her drink. A hard one already. She cheered up and started dancing with Mason and Jaxon in a goofy way. There's Cyra and Butler Samson. There's also Zendaya and Timothy. Demi is absent since Christian is not with them. They shouldn't party like this but it's the engagement of Kale and Rhys and a get along with the family.

"Let's drink more!

"

Cyra watched as Natalia got wasted. The barman gave her another drink. She sipped on the cocktail as tears streamed down her cheek. She wiped it quickly and pressed her lips and her nose to avoid crying. She's good at it. But now she's breaking into pieces. This club is very memorable for her. She used to tease Ashton. They play chess there and drink a lot of shots on whoever loses. Ashton loses, and at the end, he's been dragged by Jaxon and Mason off from the Club.

Natalia exhaled as she held on the counter. She looked up at the ceiling as her feet were tapping on the floor.

Cyra closed her eyes and massaged her forehead.

"Well?

" Butler Samson asked, waiting for whatever she commands. She took out a handkerchief and gave it to him. Butler Samson nodded and approached Natalia.
