A knock on the door makes them both stopped, and it opens. A boy at the age of eleven but taller than eleven entered and he put his stroller on the corner and then he approached them and sat on the sofa.
Dmitri frowned at him and then he reached one of his stress balls and throw it at him. He caught it with one hand.
"You just come here without noticing anyone. Does your father know that you are here?" Dmitri asked.
"They already forget about me." He shrugged.
"You are so dead, Asher!" Zendaya stood and she approached him and pulled his ear. He squealed in pain and Zendaya punched his abdominal and he fell on the floor. Struggling.
"Ow! Grandpa," Asher struggle.
"Do not call me, Grandpa!" Dmitri hissed at him. "Stand up! Boys should be stronger than girls, but it seemed in this Era you got beaten by your big sister."
"She's older than me!" Asher complained.
"Why are you here?" Dmitri asked him. "You are supposed to be out of this country doing some research at that age and be the first child who had a vacation around the world. This is why your parents forget about you. You didn't know that your mom already gives birth?"
"I know about that. I am cooling my dad down since he didn't know yet that I am already in the country." Asher struggled to sit back on the sofa and frowned at his cousin.
"How did you get in?" Dmitri asked.
"I show my real ID and when they saw my surname, Mondragon, they immediately opened up the gate for me, like I was a prince and even escorted me here."
"Asshole." Zendaya murmured and she went back to her seat.
"Seriously, they already forget about me. Even my dear twin sister who stop contacting me. It hurt me, right here." He pointed out his chest.
"Your sister is so angry with you. Just so you know. She stopped mentioning you and she is more in pain than you feel."
"I just go with Grandpa Raffy to a few of their tour with Grandma Angela." Asher exhaled. "And I already did my research and guess what? I am a billionaire in a year!"
"Your sister is also a billionaire, just so you know," Dmitri mumbled and checked Asher's data so he could enroll him though it's late.
"That's because Great-Grandpa Manuel gives her billions of money."
"You also had that money." Zendy frowned.
"Where is she, by the way?" Asher asked and then he went to the cabinet where Dmitri hid the CCTV monitors.

After Andel received from Owen a message, he immediately grabbed his wallet and phone and car keys.
"Babe, I'll just pick up our ass-son!" He called out.
"What?" Ellen stood from her seat. "Asher is already in the country?"
"Yeah, I will ground him," Andel said who is completely angry.
"Don't hurt him," Ellen told and Carter run to Andel.
"Didi, I want to go," Carter said. Andel stopped and then he took Carter with him.
"I'll also buy groceries." He said. "Send me the list."
"Will do."
Andel drove an hour to the Empire Academy. He went directly to Dmitri's office and found his children fighting. Aria seemed to be breaking Asher's arms.
"Fight! Fight!" Andel cheered and even Carter followed his daddy. Zendaya is filming it and then Kale is reviewing the footage on the corridor where Aria attacked him with a flying kick. "Go, break his limbs too!" Andel told and covered Carter's eyes.
Aria switched to Asher's limbs.
"This will be put in our memories!" Kale seemed too excited as he exported the video and connect his flash drive from his wrist and copy it.
Aria is now calm and Zendy gave her water. Andel sat beside his son Asher and smacked his back like patting him. Asher complained and pouted at him. And then he hugged his father and Carter.
"I haven't introduced you to your Aunt Kathleen and your cousin Liam. Your mom missed you too and she said that she won't ever cook for you." He smirked. Asher complained to him. "I am just kidding." Andel kissed his top head. "So, you already got a girlfriend?"
"I did." He showed him the girls that followed him and messaged him. "Grandpa gave me lots of money and use it to treat girls to foods and at the same time doing business with them."
"Oh, wow." Andel raised his thumb and looked at Aria with piercing eyes toward her twin brother.
****
Andel took Aria and Asher back to their house. Ellen put down her daughter to the crib and she ran to them and started smacking Asher at the back.
"You just left without telling us and then I just received a message from mom that you are with them!" Ellen is crying as she smacked his son. Asher hugged her and Ellen hugged her and started crying.
"I'm sorry, mom. I know that you wouldn't let me, so I just left. I won't do it again." It's been nine months since he left the country to go with his grandparents to have a great time traveling and researching.
"You are grounded." Ellen finally said and pushed him. Andel reached his wife and wiped her tears. The twins complained about their romance.
Aria went to the bathroom to wash her hands and then Asher followed her. He waited outside and lean on the wall.
"Sis, I'm sorry."
"Keep your sorry. I won't forgive you."
"You are killing me." He said dramatically.
Aria wiped her hands and told him to wash his hands and he did still pout at her.
"I'm sorry, sis."
"Yeah, you didn't even call us for nine months!"

Zendaya lay on her bed as they keep monitoring the possible drone attack. Aria is not with them and it's just good that they aren't there. Demi is lying on the carpet staring at nowhere.
"We aren't dying here, Zen," Demi said and Zendy exhaled and went to their foyer where Demi is lying looking depressed.
"Dem, I think we should ready our archers," Zendaya said. Demi sat up and nodded at her. They sneaked out of there room and went to the archery center and took out their archers and arrows.
"What are you doing?" Athena just appeared like a ghost. They got startled. Athena laughed and opened her locker.
"Wow, my girls are something." They looked at Andromeda who is smirking. Suddenly, her phone is beeping.
"There's a fire in the boy's dorm."
"That's not a drone attack!" They gathered their things and put safety braces.
They run there and Christian is helping the boys out as the sprinklers work in the corridor but not in the rooms. Andy checked it and the guard said that someone messed up on the controls of the sprinkler in the rooms.
The guards immediately actioned it and started killing the fire from where it causes. In Christian's room in the foyer.
At that moment as the guards put their gears on to check the students, an upcoming drone from the south makes them stop. They froze when someone started targeting the drones and the person is precise. They looked up at the rooftop of the dorm.
"Moira and his son Kade. Dmitri is also standing there helping.
Athena, Zendaya, and Demi whistled as their horses came from the school stable. They told Kale to open up the stables and they rode on their horses with their arrows. They come closer and the girls started releasing arrows and they are precise in each attack as the guards pushed away from the students to the safe spot.
Andel is staying at his office and he released his biggest drone and attack one drone and covered it with Zachary's latest invention with AFFF Aqueous film-forming foam that is used in the fire extinguisher. The box that covered the drone is made of steel and when it started heating on fire and the fire started, the AFFF released to cover it and Andel operate directly to his office and then with his son's help, Asher, they removed the cover with gloves on.
****
They took the chip and connected it to the new computer and inserted it Andel started fighting with the hacker and since he's busy releasing few drones.
"Oh, he had someone working with him," Andel said.
Asher sat down and since Aria is busy with operating and commanding on the girls and boys.
****
Christian ran to the girl's dorm. He exhaled seeing Demi busy with the drones as it explodes in the air. He took an archer from Kale and he started hitting the far drones and making sure that girls wouldn't get hurt by the falling parts of the drones.
Zendaya and Athena run to the woods to locate through their earpiece. He reached one horse that has been released from the stable. The boys take over the drones and Demi followed Zendaya and Athena. He told the boys that he'll follow them and when he reached the girl's he pulled out his archer. With a strong vision at night, he noticed few men around.
They are protecting the three and it's from the Knight Empire.
