Aria is having a great day now that they finally have everything that they need. She's working hard with Asher and her dad while Jaxon is walking back and forth, massaging them, giving them drinks, and so on. He's a supportive boyfriend and she just wished that they'd end together.

Jaxon hugged her from behind and kissed her top head. Now, he moved into Aria's house. He's doing his best to be a housewife. Serving her and Asher.

​​

"Babe, hug me too!" Asher said and pouted at him. They used to play such things and they are almost best friends.

"Don't you flirt on my man! He's mine." Aria roared at him. Jaxon also hugged Asher and kissed his top head. Asher looked up at him like a cat. Aria pulled Jaxon from Asher and she kicked Asher's swivel chair as it rolled away from them.

Aria stopped and looked up at the red dot on the monitor above her. She typed codes. The plane will land in a few hours in Russia. They need to be ready.

"Asher, get your ass here."

Asher obeyed Aria as he continued working. Jaxon sat down and watched as the twins became occupied with codes and whatever it is that they are entering.

They finished in an hour and the two reclined their chair and put their feet over the table. He approached them and massaged Aria's temple. He kissed her forehead.

"Since you moved-in with us. You have to serve me too." Asher said.

"Sorry, but I have to stick to my original girlfriend," Jaxon smirked at him.

Asher snorted and ignored them.

Christian knew that they would come back soon that they knew that someone was breaching the servers. They are on their way back and the guards lock him in his room. His phone was confiscated by them and there are only the television and the telephone. The telephone rang after what seemed like forever of waiting. He knew that they were going to kill him. Jacob can do that. The mystery of the phone still made him puzzled. So, he took the hands-free phone and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Christian?"

That sweet voice. Christian froze hearing her voice after a very long time of yearning to hear it.

"Demi?"

"I miss you."

Christian covered his mouth not to let go of those sobs. His tears rolled down his cheek.

"I miss you more, babe."

She sniffled on the other line.

"I'm pregnant. I need you and our baby needs you. Please come home."

"I will. I promise."

"Can you make it this coming Christmas?"

"Yes, I will." Christian sniffled as he wiped his snots. "How many weeks?"

"Ten weeks now. I stopped the shot like four months ago to surprise you. But you weren't here and I don't know how long you are going to stay there. But I want you home safely, okay?"

"Yeah~~" Christian wiped his tears and he leaned on the wall. "I will come home."

"Good. I will for you."

"I want to hear your voice more, Demi."

"I want to hear yours too." Demi sniffled on the other line like she's been crying.

"You know that I hate it when you cry."

"But not cry like a baby?" She giggled. Christian laughed a little.

"I can't wait to touch and kiss you and our baby."

"Does this mean that you are going to propose to me?"

"No. We are going to get married right away."

"And use my name instead?"

"Yes." Christian chuckled.

"I don't want a diamond ring or expensive weddings, babe. I just want you to be with me until we grow old."

"I know, but I can't help it. I want to give everything my best for you."

"We have a baby on the way too."

"Yeah, I'll think of baby names."

"When are you coming home?"

"I will try it tonight. Okay?"

"Okay,"

"Christian, I~~"

Before he could even say romantic words to her, the line was cut off.

"Demi?"

He checked the telephone and the door opened. Jacob entered. Christian exhaled and put the phone down calmly.

"I don't know how you pulled this up," Jacob asked and showed how the files were leaked. "Everything is there."

"Then, it's good to know," Christian smirked. The guards entered.

"Take him to the torture room. Tie him up and start punching him."

"Sir, but~~" The man hesitates.

"Do as I said!" He scolded.

They took Christian almost dragging him and Claus watched as Christian got dragged. He faced Jacob who seemed frustrated. He also looked like he's in killer mode.

"I was played!" Jacob shouted. "Demetria and everyone in that café isn't dead. Now, he took something more important and it's my program. Everything is gone!"

Claus scoffed.

"It's called karma."

Jacob grinned deviously.

"Watch as Christian gets his karma. Like everyone in that empire. And I will kill Demetria next and the baby in her womb."

Claus froze from what Jacob said. He stepped forward and glared at him.

"How dare you touch the heir of the Eagle Empire? And the baby in that girl's womb is a Lebedov."

"Well, it seemed like you didn't hear what they said. Christian never want the child to be a Lebedov."

"Where's Ilya?" Claus asked. "Don't you dare lay a hand on that boy!"

"It's too late, Ilya wants him gone." Jacob sneered.

Demi knew that he'll get hurt. She wiped her tears as she reached her tummy. But Christian promised. He'll come back to them. Now that they will probably hurt Christian on what happened. She sighed and thought. She took out her other phone to call her agent. The agent answered after a few rings.

"Make sure that they won't kill Christian. Keep him safe and bring him to me safely."

"Yes, boss." The man answered. She hung up.

She went to her desk and turned on her computer. It's time to work. She needed to make sure that everything was perfectly aligned with their plan. A soft knock on the door interrupted her. She turned her swivel chair, and Zendaya and Bea entered.

"Hey," They smiled and lifted her favorite ice cream cake.

"What's up?" She asked.

"Well, I think we should all work together. Since it's Christian." Zendy smiled. "Mom is on the way to Russia."

"Dad too," Bea said. "Well, we are going to get our brother back."

"Okay," She smiled at them. "I think we should go to the control room."

Demi took her laptop and the connectors. Then, they went to the control room. After a few moments, Agatha and her brother Dean are helping by putting the food on the table. Lots of food for them. Soon, Luke and Logan arrive with their gadgets, and they locate things.

Someone just sent them an email. Demetria opened it. She bit her lip hard that almost bleeds when they started punching Christian like he's a punching bag. They kick and taser him. Jacob on the other hand is laughing.

"Don't watch that," Zendaya said, and she turned it off and replied to Jacob fast.

Demi's tears started streaming down her face. But she tried hard not to sob. Bea hugged Demi, and she burst.

Claus has been locked in his room, but Jacob has the gut to show him how they torture Christian. He called Ilya and he's not even answering. He didn't know if it was Ilya's doing. But it seemed like Jacob took over the Eagle Empire and Ilya was just a puppet. But how dare Ilya ignore that Christian, his son let his lover hurt him.

The door opened, and he turned with a scowling face.

"Ilya! How dare you let Jacob hurt your son."

"I have no choice," Ilya said as he approached the mini bar in the room.

"You have no choice? Or Jacob didn't give you a choice?" Claus growled at him. "You know what? I just wish that I die. It's my burden when you break the promise from Cyra. It's my fault when you break it from the Dragon Empire!"

"They tricked us!" Ilya turned to him scowling.

"You trick them first!" Claus said. "Christian will be happier if he was in their family. Even though they killed your family for murdering all of Phoenix!"

"I don't want to fight you, Claus."

"I don't care if you don't. But you are a useless father. You are a useless man!"

Ilya threw the martini glass that he's holding across the wall.

"Say it again and I'll—" Ilya swallowed his words.

"I have nothing to lose, Ilya. You know well that I don't want to live like this. But you still make me. I am sick of everything here."

Ilya pulled his hair frustratingly.

"Look at your son!" Ilya couldn't even look at Christian who is being tortured. "I don't know what you are fighting for, Ilya. But they are dead. Do you want Christian to die too? He's the only real family that you have. Now you are torturing him and killing him."
