In the Mansion of Del Carlo,

Never did they think that they would have this kind of dinner again after losing one family or two. But it's like a dream come true for Keira. She has her family back and they are complete. However, one person didn't know about this one. Henry's best friend, Alex. It's only as a family and since Alex was in the other city with Gena for business.

MJ and Karmina were the ones who prepared for this big dinner. They cooked each of their favorites. It doesn't only serve as a reunion but also as Harvey and MJ's engagement party.

Keira never expected to have this kind of gathering. Family. Her family grows bigger. Although one was her half-blood and the other has zero blood connection, she's happy because she loves them. There's nothing more important in this world than a happy complete family.

"I was wondering. What should we do for the wedding?" Keira asked. "Shall we hold it here?"

"That's a good question. But, baby girl, this house should be confidential although people were lingering here."

"We can use our villa," Alessandro suggested. "I'll handle the staff and security. Dad can disguise himself. It's not like they are still searching for him. At this moment, they were more focused on Tracey."

"Yeah, I wonder what happened about the catfight? I am sure that she will get hurt again."

"Why does Tracey have to get hurt? Can it happen when she won't get injured?" Karmina creased her brows.

"Sorry, mom." Keira sighed. "But I already bribed her. Also, they are going to take a vacation," She shrugged. "I am sure that she'll be happy."

"Bribe, tsk." Henry shook his head in disapproval.

"This is one way to divert their attention." Keira reasoned.

"But that poor girl~~"

"Ian is with her, dad." Keira pouted. "I told him not to let Wendy lay a hand on her."

"Hey, don't worry." Johanna rubbed her back.

"Little sis. We handle it." Harvey winked at her. "Tracey might get hurt a little but that would be the last time now."

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Let's finish our meal so we can discuss it after."

Keira didn't ask further as they continued with their dinner. It continued with purely joking and planning about MJ and Harvey's wedding. They were surprised that MJ already had a wedding gown. Karmina started preparing it when Harvey proposed to MJ and she was going through the personal designs of Karmina and admired one dress. That's how it started. Karmina was making the gown although she has few people who are making it together with Harvey's tuxedo.

"I will film this one and treasure it," Keira said.

"I can't wait for you to get married this year! So, I can have a proper wedding ritual next year!" She exclaimed. Harvey was surprised at his sister's energetic reaction. He's sure that she's very much excited about the wedding. Well, if Alessandro didn't rush their marriage by tricking her to sign the papers she would have the fairytale wedding that she wanted.

"Proper wedding?" Henry asked as he glared at Alessandro who quickly raised his hands.

"Dad, come on. It's been years~~" Alessandro said.

"Dad, it's good that we marry first to like this. We won't be engaged for long." Keira clings her arms to Alessandro's waist. "We've been engaged for so long, right love?"

"Yes. Since eighteen." Sandro patted her head lovingly and kissed her forehead.

Harvey remembered although he wasn't beside them anymore that Keira and Alessandro got engaged on her eighteenth birthday.

"So, when will be the wedding for you Jo?" Henry asked. "Don't tell me that Connor won't marry you?"

Connor glanced at Karmina who winked at him.

"No, Papa. I don't want to tie the knots."

"Why not?" Henry creased his brows. "Although you promised to protect Keira it doesn't mean that you can't live your life."

"Papa," Johanna felt like she's in a hot seat, but Connor put his arms to Johanna.

"Don't worry, Sir. I'll protect her and our baby. I'll take care of her even though she didn't agree about marriage."

"Hmm," Henry's face darkened as he sipped on his wine. He's a strict father and all he wanted was to give his daughters the best life.

"Papa, please." Johanna weaned.

"If that's your decision." Henry turned his head to his wife. "Are there more wine, love?"

"Yes, of course." Karmina stood to get more wine as she served her husband. Because she knew, later, she would be served by him too.

Ian was currently massaging her head while she's relaxing in the bathtub filled with warm water. She was leaning with him and after finding that she didn't have any injury on the face, he felt relieved. Although he missed the reunion, there will be another so he wanted to stay with her longer. Her life is also in danger so they went somewhere safer. To his cabin away from the city.

"Does it still hurt?"

"No." She shook her head. "She didn't grab it as hard as before."

"You might receive a brain hemorrhage. So, next time, tie your hair and know where to hit her. Okay?"

"I will." She said softly and intertwined her hands with him. Ian somehow felt so warm around Tracey. He never felt it for so long even though she slept with many women after Viola. "I'm sleepy too."

"Great." He kissed her cheeks. "I set up a new bed here… it won't break so don't worry."

She giggled and turned to him. He reached her chin and kissed her lips gently. Ever since they plan to date, he has become gentle and caring toward her. He never expected this to happen. He thought that it would become like usual sex mates without caring for each other. He was so selfish that he even got involved in his family problem. She even got hurt. So, after the bath, he cleans her nails carefully to remove dirt from the catfight. It's one way to care for a girl.

"I didn't expect you to do that." She giggled.

"Well, I at least need to check your nails." He kissed her hand as he looked at her with those seductive eyes. "You can sleep if you want now. You don't have to wait for me."

"Hmm," she nodded at him.

She watched him clean her nails and massaged them. Never had she had a man like this in her life? If she would probably force Alessandro to marry her, she would be neglected and ignored because he didn't love her. At that moment, Tracey was hoping that it could be him.

"Ian," She called.

"Yes, babe?"

"Is there a chance that you will love me?" She felt embarrassed asking it but she was still curious. Ian stared at her eyes for a while and smiled.

"Sure, why not?"

"I'm serious."

"You are not hard to love, Tracey." He put away the cleaning items and sanitized his hands. "I'll check the locks." He patted her head and left the room.

Ian started in the living room and checked the locks and the security alarm. He took out fresh milk from the fridge, poured it in two mugs, and put it in the microwave oven. He waited until it's done. Then, he carefully put it on the tray and went back to the only bedroom.

"Milk?"

She sat up and waited for him to sit beside her. Then, he gave one to her and put the tray on the side table.

"If you aren't tired~~" Ian grinned at her as she sipped on her milk.

"I'm hungry." She said that made him surprised.

"You usually don't eat at this time."

"It's probably because of the pills that I'm taking. It increases my appetite and my boobs are sore."

"Oh," he sighed. "Too bad. I was planning to suck those beauties." He stood and put his milk on the tray. "I'll make something to eat."

To his surprise, she followed him, taking the tray of milk. He smiled as they went to the kitchen. He somehow saw on social media about bacon and egg sandwiches in a pan. So, he's going to try to make it. He was hungry too since all of the food that they ordered went to waste. He prepared two of them as they enjoyed it.

"It's delicious." She said. "I should have this by tomorrow."

He chuckled and patted her head.

"Sorry that I didn't put mayo on it."

"No." She shook her head. "I dislike mayo."

"Good." He sat beside her. "Let's go somewhere tomorrow." He told him.

"Where?" She asked as she enjoyed the sandwich.

"Well, maybe in the ocean?" He grinned. "Let's go together. I hate going out alone."

"Ocean?" Her eyes sparkled in excitement. "Really?"

"Yeah," he chuckled and winked at her.

"I don't have swimsuits."

"Oh," He snapped. "Did you forget that I shoved it in your bag? Or probably in my bag before we left your unit?"

"Smart and fast." She giggled and nudged him. "I'll go with you. Wherever it is."

"Good. Because you will enjoy it so much. We will make love and I'll spank you while thrusting on you~~ oh, that's dreamy."

Tracey blinked her eyes and never thought of him thinking of something lewd. She looked utterly shocked.
