They didn't expect that they would have to stay for a few more hours in the new Dungeon for hours. Zendaya, Kade, and Thunder reached the main door of the tunnel. They dropped their knees dramatically in front of their controls. Aria and Asher turned their swivel chair to them and laughed.

"How could you do this to us? We are your family!" Kade shouted at them dramatically.

​​

Zendaya lay flat on the cold floor and stared at the ceiling.

"I need a shower right now." She mumbled.

"It's a perfume factory," Asher told.

"Perfume factory my ass!" Thunder snarled at them. "You lead us to a dirty canal."

"I'm sorry, it's the tracker!" Asher hands up. "How about I treat you to a nice massage and girls that would help you massage down there."

"No. I'm fine." Thunder shook his head.

Kade laughed.

"Poor you, Thunder, why couldn't you get a real girlfriend than staring at someone's picture."

"I found her but she betrayed me," Thunder mumbled.

"Then, are you sure that she indeed betrayed you?"

"Yeah." Thunder nodded.

"Poor you," Zendaya said. "But maybe that girl isn't really for you."

"Guys, before you mentioned those things, I think we need to shower," Kade said. "And call my mom, I have to know that she's safe," Kade told the twins.

"Your mother is fine, Kade. At this moment, your dad is going to pick her up. So get your ass ready." Aria said.

Jaxon came out from the bathroom after he flushed and he was puzzled seeing the three on the floor.

"Hey guys, I'll ready the bath. Stop sulking there." Jaxon said as he tossed towels on each of them.

"How's everything now?" Zendaya asked.

"They are fine, you don't have to worry." Aria made it sure.

Cyra stared at Demetria for a while. Her wounds are slowly healing and there's no hemorrhage. She's simply sleeping and the nanomites are still repairing her cells. Well, the war has ended and they have a lot of injured men. At this moment, her mother is gelding a victory dinner with Claud. They prepare grand foods for them and as allies.

"How's my daughter?" Dmitri asked as he controlled his wheelchair through the controllers on each side. He got a cast on his left ankle and a bandaid on his forehead from the glass that shattered.

"She's stable. She needs more sleep at the moment so the nanomites could repair the damage in her head. Overall, she's fine. By tomorrow, she can go home."

"Christian will be really worried," Dmitri mumbled.

"Don't worry, Uncle. She'll be good as new soon."

"Yes, I hope so."

Cyra left Demetria's room and went outside. Tucker was waiting for her and she smiled at him. He scooped her face and kissed her lips.

"I already set up your food and bath. Then, we can go to your parent's house."

"Thank you."

Tucker held her hand as they went to her room. He joined her in the bath and scrubbed her back.

"Was it relaxing?" He asked.

"Yeah." She sighed. "Thank you for the hot bath."

"I know that you are too busy. Even Xavier helped around."

"Hmm,"

"Can we have kids?"

She creased her brows.

"Not yet. I am still enjoying our endless lovemaking. Do you badly want to have kids?"

"Yes."

"Let's wait until my sister plans for kids before we do that."

"Okay," He kissed her cheeks.

"How can you take care of them when I'll be busy in the lab?"

"I have my ways," he grinned.

"Like you have your ways around me?" She smirked at him.

"You know well."

Xavier arrived at Athena's grandparent's house. He smiled seeing her mother with her bodyguard that is now her longtime boyfriend. They are planning for a wedding and he's helping Marga in her business and all. He's happy that her mother found the love of her life. However, her mother looked nervous. Xavier rubbed her arms. He already knelt in front of them to forgive his mother and what Athena's grandparents did is something that he will always remember.

They said, "You don't have to kneel in front of us to ask for forgiveness for the sins that you didn't commit. We are happy that you love our granddaughter with all of her heart."

"Mom, don't worry. It'll be fine. They missed you too."

Marga entered the door. Athena greeted her first and hugged her. Marga never expected Athena to do it. But maybe it's because she loves Xavier so much as his son loves her back more. Sabrina smiled at her and lifted a glass.

"Marga!" Ferdinand approached her. She couldn't hold her tears anymore as Athena pulled out. She knelt in front of Francisco.

"I'm sorry, Dad."

"Hey," Ferdinand pulled her up. "We already forgive you. Sabrina forgives you… okay? We are here as a family and for Xavier and Athena." They are going to get married soon. Okay?" He wiped her tears. Ferdinand saw the little girl who was always sweet towards her. Although her mother taught her bad things, Ferdinand could still see that Marga is a child that wanted attention. Now, she regrets everything she did back then.

They gathered inside and Xavier introduced Sabrina's sons and then Enzo's children and Ethan's children. They have a happy dinner as they talk about Athena and Xavier's wedding.

Laurence watched as the girls painted their nails. Finally, tonight they can go out of the house. Everything is clear now and Andromeda and others release a memo that they can finally go and have fun around. At the moment, Lisa was letting Esme choose what to wear for their clubbing while her hand is on the UV light to dry her nails.

"I'm up for a sexy outfit," Lisa said.

"You, you should wear something sexy," Laurence said.

"And you guys aren't coming?" Lisa asked. "Didn't your date get called off?"

"We are going with you but we have to leave you there and let the boys drive you back home," Laurence answered.

"Yeah, whatever." She waved him off. "And Rence, Esme, and I were talking and you should leave her room."

"No. Not until I have my fiancee back."

Lisa rolled her eyes and mocked him. It was yesterday when there's a lot of commotion and Demi and Dmitri was currently in the facility. Lots of things happened but their family assured that the Eagle Empire is no longer a threat to them. So, at the weekend they will have a massive party at the beach. But for now, Laurence wanted to be with Esme. He wanted her all by himself.

At seven in the evening, everything is packed up in Laurence's car. They went to the Phoenix Club and had fun around. They also congratulate Cyra and Tucker who are in the club for their sneaky wedding. Everyone is having fun and Lisa got every boy's attention. She's currently talking to Thunder, Kade, Luke, and Logan. Luke introduced to everyone her girlfriend which is the current picker at Tucker's farm. She graduated in Business and is now working at Tucker. Luke met her again when she was running an errand for Tucker and they dated and after a few months, they did the deed.

Laurence was happy seeing everything around happy. Then, he sneaked out from the bar with Esme. They went to their future house by the beach. Laurence sent someone to take care of the house, clean it up and set up romantic lanterns for them. It's one and a half hour drive and Esme seemed excited.

"I bought a lot of condoms." He told her. She giggled and reached his face.

"Thank you,"

"For what?" He asked as he held her hand with his right hand while his left hand was on the steering wheel.

"For waiting for me."

"Of course, I will do everything for you."

"You never fall in love while we are away?" She asked as she turned to him sideways.

"I was always in love." He told and kissed her hand.

When they reached the house, Laurence took out the groceries and bags while she turned on everything. The lights, the fan and checked the security system around.

Laurence prepared their bedroom that has newly fresh sheets. Then, he settled the cold wine on the bucket full of ice. Then, Esme came with a tray of fresh sliced fruits.

"I'll ready the bath."

"Make love with me first."

She put the tray on the table and she lifted her dress over her head. Laurence gaped at her. He stepped back and turned the lights into dim, something romantic. Then, he removed his shirt and his pants. It's been years since he last had sex and he was using his hand all along to relieved his horny balls. Now, he didn't have to restrain anymore. He pulled her and scooped her face. He kissed her passionately and gently lay her down on the bed.

"Esme, the waiting is worth it."

"Ditto, Rence. I never love you less… I love you more and more as time goes by."

That night, Laurence made love to her endlessly. He loved her and miss her and they deserve a passionate and hot love.
