The first thing in the morning, Zendaya got up early to rescue Mason. It's like three days before Christmas. She lost track of the time. Athena didn't want to go. She's too depressed to do so or too lazy. Anyway, she'll deal with that later. Just a little manipulation for Xavier and they will get back together.

The main problem is Mason. They have him and although he was tortured, she's sure that he won't leak any information. They can't have Demi with them since she's pregnant and there are other complications.

She gave Tim a hot kiss before she left. She walked through the corridor of rooms and noticed a guy coming out from Esme's room. She knew well that something is fishy. It's three in the morning and who would come out from a lady's room at that time?

She approached him and pulled him away.

"You have a lot to tell me.

" Zendaya hissed at him. Laurence lifted his hands.

"Is it what I thought?

" She whispered. Laurence nodded. He knelt in front of her immediately and hugged her leg.

"Please don't tell anyone. I'm begging you.

" He said dramatically.

Zendaya rolled her eyes and exhaled.

"Laurence,

"

"I love her.

"

"I know.

" She pulled him up and hugged him.

"I know. You are my best friend, and you shouldn't hide things from me.

"

"I'm afraid that they might take her away from me. You know~~

"

"I know…

" Zendaya patted him.

"Just be careful. You know that I will always help you.

"

"Thank you.

" Laurence kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly.

"You are the best cousin in the whole world.

"

"I know.

" She chuckled and pushed.

"I'm off now.

"

Laurence went to his room, and Zendaya exhaled. She went downstairs. She found Athena there sipping on her tea wearing her suit. Zendaya scoffed and stood in front of her.

"Well, who's awake?

"

"I plan to be there,

" Athena spoke as she brought her cup to her lips.

"I decided that I have to do something that would make my mind off of him.

"

Zendaya sighed. She knew well how she felt.

"Now, let's get that man. We don't want him to stay in a cold cell topless and be feast by that maniac.

"

"Right.

" Athena stood.

It's eight in the morning and Chelsea brought food for the guy who stole Mason's face. She sighed and put it in front of him. She sat down and crossed her legs. The man looked up at her.

"Well, at least you aren't beaten like Mason.

"

He moaned and looked up at her.

"You almost got blind because of the contact lens that you are wearing. But we saved you with the nanomites. However, you won't let any detox. After three months, it will stay in your body and we will control it.

" Chelsea smirked at him.

"Y-you…

"

"We find out that you aren't Mason. You see, I have been with him many times. He's our guardian angel. My sister had a photographic memory. So, anything that she knows about Mason's figure is right in her head printed forever.

"

The man didn't speak for a while but then he started speaking in Russian saying that they will all die. He even laughed in a very devilish way. Chelsea stood and smiled at him charmingly. She approached him and bent down as she pressed her hand over her knees.

"You'll pay for what you did to the person who is part of our family.

" Then she kicked his balls and left.

"That's satisfying.

" She said and outside, Noah is laughing at what she did.

"Well, he got a small~~thing.

"

"What is the name of that thing?

" Noah laughed.

"Balls.

" Chelsea rolled her eyes. Noah kept on laughing as he locked the door.

"Why aren't you on the mission?

"

"Well, I am here to protect all of you,

" Noah said as they went upstairs and locked the door again.

"There will be a possible attack for that guy. Or they might kill Mason at this moment so they use the superfast jet.

"

Chelsea is worried about Mason. The guy told her a lot of things. He said that if he's lucky to have his own family, he'll cherish it. She still wanted the guy to have his family. She wasn't in love with him but Mason is their family and he always protects them.

"Don't worry, Mason will be safe,

" Noah said.

"I know.

" She exhaled.

"I know that Mason didn't have a family anymore, but he deserves to build his own family.

"

"It'll be better if he married someone from your family.

"

Chelsea shrugged.

"Well, it's up to that guy if he fell in love with someone in the family. If he's here, he might've fallen in love with Lawson. But first, I need him to get rid of this crazy suitor. He even tried to bribe my parents.

" She mumbled.

"Oh, crap. Your mom is going to kill that guy.

"

"I know,

" Chelsea mumbled.

"I was supposed to meet Mason in the bar but he didn't show up. That's why I text Jaxon.

"

"Hmm,

" Noah rubbed his chin.

"I received a message from Mason that he didn't feel well. So, when I went to his penthouse, he wasn't there. I just assume that he's okay when he shows up after a while.

"

"I just hope that they will bring Mason back. I know that raiding that house would be risky.

" Chelsea mumbled.

"Don't worry, they are going to make it.

"

Raiden just received something from his secretary. He checked the photos that the woman met for the past few days. Why would he be surprised about who it was? Mary Ann paid the doctor to tell her that she needs an operation. They are also finding out the doctor that she will visit for it. They are planning it along. It's a good thing that they didn't know much about Raiden's family. All they know is they are powerful. But how dare Mary Ann do such a thing to his wife. Even though she's his sister-in-law, it wouldn't be easy for her.

He told his men to watch out for Mary Ann. They need to gather more information and if kidnapping the Doctor will be part of it, they will just have to take threatening measures. He gently pushed away from the duvet and bent down to kiss her stomach. It woke her up and she smiled at him.

"Babe, why won't you take a pregnancy test now?

"

"Right,

" She kissed his lips as she sat up. She went to the bathroom and Raiden waited. After a few moments, she came out with a smile on her face.

"Cyra is right. Maybe I take it too early. But look~~

" She showed it to him. He's happy that she's smiling.

Raiden slipped off from the bed and spread his arms to her. She walked close to him and he hugged her waist and kissed her tummy.

"I'm happy because you are happy.

"

She sighed and kissed his forehead.

"I'm sorry for my drama and all.

"

"You don't have to. You are my wife. You deserve a drama.

"

"Thank you, my handsome husband. I am very grateful that I married you.

"

"Me too.

" He kissed her stomach again.

"Now, are you hungry? Because you have to eat for four now.

"

She giggled.

"I can't believe that we are going to have triplets.

"

"It's in our family.

"

"It's a big family. I want to teach them good things that my parents didn't teach me.

"

"I'll help you with that. I love you.

"

"I love you too.

"

She traced her hand to his muscles and he reflexes his abdominal and she laughed.

"You horny?

" He asked. She nodded.

"Well come on, baby. We need to work it out.

"

She laughed and lifted her dress.

Mason felt cold. He didn't know how many days it had been. But those bulky men dragged him inside the van. It was fast when they injected something into him. He even fought them but it's too late. He woke up in this cell and topless.

The first thing he thought when he woke up is Chelsea. She's waiting in the bar and he wonders if they know about it. Chelsea is one of the heiresses and she needed protection. It was his responsibility. He wanted to leave the place but how can he do it when both of his hands are in heavy metal and even his ankles.

"I need to piss!

" He shouted.

"Can you at least give me that?

" He asked.

One of the men that is guarding him pulled him up and let him take a piss. He washed his hands and went back to the corner. He started doing push-ups so he got sweat. Even though he is bruised, he still needs to work his muscles, or else he'll die of hyperthermia. He indeed had a fever because it's cold and they didn't give him any shirt.

A loud vibration that seemed to be a bomb crashed outside. They all stood and the radio was alert. He stood and reached the coat of the guy as they left. He searched for keys to remove the cuffs but there's none. So, he put it on him. He's cold, so cold… He fell on the floor, his sight slowly getting dark, but something is on the wall.
