Aria is now busy with calculating her money for where she will put it. She's now one of the stockholders as a replacement to Mr. Erin. So, holding the business, Alanis taught her few things with Kade.
"Dad, can I have a car?" Kade asked Alanis suddenly.
"Yes. When you'll turn 18." Alanis told and showed Aria more.
"Uhh, that will take a lot of time."
"It will." Alanis somehow ignored him a little. Kade sighed.
"Dad, come on."
Alanis pulled out a key from his drawer and showed him one of the expensive sports cars that he owns.
"You'll have this when you turn 18."
"Can I hold it?" Kade insisted.
"No." He put it back on the drawer. Aria kicked him under the table, and he pouted.
So, after their little study, they went back to the family room. Carter is busy admiring his cousin and Levi too.
"We also have a shooting range here," Kade said.
"Can we go there?" She asked.
"Sure."
"Can I go?" Carter asked.
"I'm sorry, you can't go there. It's dangerous." Aria patted his head. "We'll play later. Okay?"
"Okay." He nodded. Levi came along with them as the butler escorted them to the shooting range. Assassins are practicing their marksman and they all stop and bowed at them. Aria smiled at them.
"Dad won't let us use the gun. He said that we need to specialize in the archer first."
"Hmm, it's great in here. Mom said that Aunt Andy learned to assemble and disassemble guns at the age of twelve." Aria told.
"Hmm, lucky her. But mom said that she's going to teach us maybe next month. Zavanna needed more attention since she's an infant." Kade told.
"At least we could watch?" Aria asked the butler and the butler nodded.
They watched as the agents showed them how to assemble and disassemble and it became a contest on who's the fastest. From handguns to bigger guns.

Bea looked at the boys who are playing volleyball. She already got a crush from one of them and her father came to cover her eyes and hauled her out from the eyes of those boys' senior boys and take her back to their tent.
"Dad!" She frowned at him.
"You aren't getting a boyfriend at that age." He said strictly.
"I won't. Duh! I am just admiring." Bea crossed her arms.
"Admiring half-n.a.k.e.d bodies," Demi said as she flipped on the novel that she's reading.
Bea moved closer to her.
"I didn't know that Christian has a great body!" She said and peeked on the boys and girls playing volleyball.
"We also have great bodies!" Raiden and Rhys showed their abdominals and Bea sneered at them.
"Nah, I am not interested. Your bodies are far way skinny than what I have in mind." Bea waved them off.
"You got a dirty mind." Kale rubbed her head hard and she pushed him and fixed her hair.
"You already got a crush?" Her father asked and crossed his arms. Bea frowned at him.
"Let's play soccer!" Thunder said as he brought a soccer ball. "They are already getting ready the net." They looked at their guards who are wearing the same khaki shorts and Hawaiian shirts.
"Pass." Demi waved them off.
"No!" They all said at the same time. Bea took away her book.
"Sunblock!" Luna called and they went to their mothers to have their sunblock. Agatha approached Demi and she let her do it.
Her eyes flew on the boys that are surfing. If Zendaya and Athena are here, they would go on surfing, but they are on their own business and Athena also needed to attend something with her family. She looked at her brothers who would join the game except for Dean and then to her cousin's siblings. They already set up and their bodyguards are their referee.
She warmed up with others and it wasn't that hot and sunny. It seemed like it's going to rain; they continue with their game. Bea is on the other team and they continue their game. Bea's sports are soccer and she wasn't good at it and the team had more scores than them. So, they had new tactics.
"Hi, Christian!" Bea waved and Demi looked at Christian who is only wearing beach shorts and she shook her head. She doesn't want to remember how he f.u.c.k with his girlfriend. It's disgusting. She heard how their parents would make love, but she never saw it.
Now she's shuddering and she felt completely bad like her insides are twisting.
"You want to play with us?" Bea asked.
"You can replace my spot," Demi told him.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah." She nodded and she removed the blue scarf that she's wearing around her waist and toss it to him.
She left and went back to the cottage. Her mother gave her a coconut juice and she hugged her mom.
"What's wrong?"
"I just feel real, not right at this moment."
"Why?" She patted her head. She sighed.
"I don't want to see Christian around." She said.
"Why?"
Demi sighed.
"Well, we entered his room and the door is open. We didn't mean to go inside but I just saw him making love with his girlfriend and it's very lewd and it disgusted me." She babbled. "I mean, I heard you and dad making love but I never saw it and so I have to just pretend that I heard nothing whenever I passed by your room and geez." She sat down and sighed.
Agatha laughed and patted her hair.
"You see the whole thing?" She asked as a gossip.
"Mom!" She pouted at her. "I didn't see their genitals…"
"Oh," Agatha is teasing.
"Mom, please just don't tell it that. It's completely embarrassing."
"Yeah, I won't."
"You better promise me that!" She hissed at her.
"What is it?" Dmitri asked. Demi took her coconut and moved away from her dad.
"Just moved away, daddy."
"What is it that you wanted to tell me?" Dmitri asked.
"I didn't say that I have something to tell you." She snarled at him.
"Oh, there is something!" Dmitri approached her but Agatha pulled him away.
"Stop bugging your daughter!" She hissed at him.

Zendaya looked at herself in the mirror. Yeah, the gala is completely for rich people and at her age, she already had her own money. She had her cards and 100K allowance every month. But she couldn't seem to spend it all. So, after her allowance has been saved, her mother would convince her to donate it and she would.
They went to the gala riding a limousine and Andy is holding baby Wynter as they have a butler and a maid to help them with Wynter and five bodyguards. Andy and Wynter went to their hotel while Zachary, Zendaya, and the triplets tag along with their father. They are already old enough to mingle around and observe everything.
Their father taught them a lot in this kind of business and Zendaya stopped seeing familiar cufflinks and tuxedo that she only saw in her visions. She exhaled as she panics a little. The man turned around and it wasn't just a man but a teenager. She observed the teenager as he laughed with young girls.
She doesn't know why she's seeing this now.
"Little love?" Zach called. Zendaya turned to her father and followed him. "This is my firstborn, Zendaya." Zach introduced to his business partner in one of the branches here in Paris. They smiled at her and she smiled in very businesslike. "And here are my triplets, Logan, Luke, and Cyra.
"Comme c'est adorable!" The lady in a blonde hair said.
"Merci." The triplets said at the same time and they are impressed as they looked at Zachary. He smiled at them.
"L'un d'eux pourrait reprendre l'entreprise ici. But we don't know." Zachary shrugged after he spoke in a fluent French.
They nodded.
Zendaya glanced again at the direction of the young man and unexpectedly she met his eyes. Maybe it wasn't the man in his visions. Some other older would have the same cufflinks and the same tailored tuxedo. He smiled at her charmingly. She looked at him one last time and she ignored him and speak in fluent French with her father's business partners.
Their butler came with drinks for them and she thanked them.
"Dad, can we go?" Cyra whispered to her father.
"Just a little more darling and I promise that you all have two days shopping in the city."
Cyra nodded and she kept close to her brothers. Their father left them on their table, and they started observing and judging each people. They laughed and the triplets stopped when a man approached, smiling.
"Milady," he bowed at her in a very gentleman way and the boys raised their brows.
"What can I do for you?" Zendaya asked coldly.
"Would you like to dance?" The gentleman asked.
"I don't dance. I apologize." Zendaya snapped. The boy chuckled charmingly. "I'm Timothy." He extends his hand. Zendaya doesn't want to be rude so she accepted it.
"I'm Zendaya." She said with a little smile. He bent down and kissed her hand.
"Beautiful Zendaya."
The triplets gape.
