Zachary held the party in one of the exclusive Villa Resort that he owns. They arrived early so he could take care of other things. He told Andy to take a nap first in their room though she insisted on helping. She eventually gave in and just stay in their room.

He walked around organizing everything and their parents are also there and soon enough, Ellen came with their grandparents and Andel. He greeted her warmly with a hug and kissed her forehead.

"Happy birthday, baby sis."

"You are holding a big party for my 24th birthday?" She creased her brows.

"Yeah. I invited your friends." He winked and then he looked at Andel who grinned at him and he jumped on him and kissed his cheek. He pushed the guy. "Hey! Hey! You better behave yourself, big man."

"What?" Andel shrugged and then put his arms around Ellen like a big brother. "Let's party!" He dragged Ellen inside and she looked up at him with a smile.

Zachary followed them and their friends started coming in. Ellen greeted them and Andel distance himself. That introverted man. Zachary smiled at the upcoming cars of Mondragon. Then there's Steven and Freya with bags with them. Steven jogged around to helped Freya.

Zachary eyed the big stomach of the woman, but she wasn't fat at all. Steven greeted Ellen and they went inside so Freya could rest.

Dmitri couldn't come since he needed to take care of Agatha and their baby Demi, but he sent his Chefs to cook for everyone.

Soon, he let his wife accompany him and she's wearing a stunning white dress and she looked sexy as hell though her stomach is big and visible to everyone's eyes. He's proud of his wife. He stayed by her side to assist her while entertaining a few people at the same time.

Ellen smiled at them and greet them. They have gifts for her, and they put it on the table. But what she wanted most is to be with Andel. But he's just in the corner, hiding from everyone and watching her. He promised to protect her, but he can't be in the crowd. It's her party and no one would dare to hurt her. Besides, Zachary had lots of security around.

She didn't expect that Zachary would prepare this big. She only wanted a simple dinner with family and then stay with Andel for the rest of the night until forever. She glanced at where he is and then one of her ex-boyfriends who she is still friends with greeted her and hold her waist. She resists from him but he only tightens.

"You look gorgeous as always, Ellen."

"Th-Thank you." She said in an uncomfortable tone. They have the longest relationship, but the guy is an asshole at the end.

She can feel his hands to her waist like he wanted to own her but suddenly it was smacked away by a strong hand and a big body covered her from him. It's Andel, he pushed the man and glared at him in a very murderous way.

"You touch her like that and I'm going to fucking cut off your dick," Andel warned him in a low voice Males stepped back.

"Andel." She murmured and reached his arm. Andel turned to her.

"Baby girl, I don't care about who he is but he's practically harassing you."

"What's going on here?" Zachary asked and Andel turned to Zachary and move his lips close to his ear.

"This guy is practically harassing your sister," Andel said. Zachary glared at the man and he noted him.

"I am fine. Let's not messed up the party." She held Andel's arm. "How about let's start with the food?" She suggested and glanced at the Chefs that are ready for their cooking show.

Zachary nodded at the host and the host introduce the Chefs of Asian Season and females cheers and gawk at them.

"Baby!" Percy and Andrew came and hugged their baby sister.

She laughed and hugged each of them.

Zachary watched as Andel leave and go on the corner. He looked at Ellen and then to Andel who is now sipping on his champagne. Something isn't right at all. Is his sister dating Andel? He had a suspicion but he knows that from childhood, Andel is close to Ellen and he protects her like a little sister. And if Ellen is dating Andel, they would tell him. Andel wouldn't betray him like that.

The party goes on and there are singers and performers. There's also a game where lights go off and everyone would grab a partner and kiss them. Percy pushed Andrew and told him to position somewhere. They nodded at each other and Ellen goes to the corner to avoid anyone before Andel could kill someone.

Their bodyguards put their night-glasses on, and the lights are off.

Andel grabbed Ellen to the corner and he pulled her up and kissed her passionately. She responded to him quickly. She knows that it was him. His touch, his smell, and the way he held her. It's him.

"Happy birthday, baby girl." He said between their kiss and continue kissing her. He gently put her down and she's still dizzied from the kiss. Andel moved away from her. "I'll wait in your room." He kissed her forehead. "I love you."

"I love you too."

The lights are on and Zachary is busy kissing his wife. Then, Ellen's ex-boyfriend is kissing a transgender that is also Ellen's friend that she met in France while she??s studying jewelry design. She covered her mouth to avoid laughing. The guy is so shocked.

"Are you happy?" Percy asked and hugged his baby sister. She laughed and hugged Percy. He must've set it up as a revenge for what the guy did to her. "Who did you kiss?" He asked and looked around.

"Secret." She checked her lipstick and fixed it. She hugged him and they went to the crowd to enjoy the party.

"Where's Andel?" Zachary approached them.

"I—" She looked around. "I don't know."

"Hmm." He looked around. "Well, enjoy your party baby sis." He kissed her cheek. "Are you ready for my surprise?" He asked her. She nodded.

He pulled out a small box from his pocket and gave it to her. She opened it and it's a key with a small remote control? She looked up at him.

"The rest house is on an island. That is exclusively yours. It's secure with the electric power and water filter. Plus, it's rich. The rest house could have a voice control only registered to you and mine."

"Who knew about the place?"

"Only me and Andel know where it's located for your safety if you wanted to go there alone. If you want to check it, a chopper can always bring you there."

"Wow! Great."

"I'll escort your sister in law back in our room so she could rest."

"I haven't eaten," Andy complained. Zach chuckled and faced her.

"Enough watching those Chefs." He patted Andy's head. "Freya is inside and join her."

Andy rolled her eyes and she pinched Zachary's cheek hard. He groaned in pain and she walked inside completely peeve.

"I'll join your sister. You enjoy your party." He kissed her again and he followed Andy inside the house.

He found her in the dining room. Freya is eating with the old men and Andy joined them.

After Freya finished her dish, she went out to search for Steven whom she told to picked him something else that the Chefs newly made. She found him chatting with females and he's holding the plate.historical

"I'm going to kill him." She strode to them and they all looked at her and Freya punched Steven's hard abdominal. "Your children are hungry, you idiot." She hissed at him. He grinned at her and hugged her.

"Sorry, baby."

They eyed her protruding belly and she glared at them.

"What? Is it your first time seeing a pregnant woman? This will happen to you if you don't use protection." She said frankly. Steven laughed and kissed her head so she wouldn't get mad at him.

"Sorry, babe. Let's go?"

She rolled her eyes and started walking. Steven's hand went to his waist as they entered back to the house.

"Don't get mad, babe."

"Why are you chatting with them?" She growled at him.

"Hey, they came to me."

"And you flirted back?" She nudged him.

"Ow!" He chuckled and kissed her temple. "I love you, babe."

"Shut up." She took the plate. "Get more of these in one minute."

"I'll escort you first."

He helped her and kissed her head.

"What else do you want?"

"I want you to get away from those females!" She hissed at him and Zachary and Stanley kept on laughing.

"Alright." He looked at his father standing on the other side with wine and laughing.

He jogged back there and ignored everyone. He took dishes that she would love. He doesn't want to tell some maid or waiters to get food for Freya since he's overly protective. The Chefs already prepared foods for Freya and their family inside.

"Hey, Steven!" A woman came. "We didn't know that you are—"

"Yeah. She's my fiancée." He took the tray and went back inside within a minute.

Freya ignored him and continue to eat.
