"This is the village of mercy?" Zackeeyah asked as she looked outside the window. "Hmm, It changed in a lot ways but I'm glad the village stands up again." Jayden said as he lean closer to Zackeeyah to see the village as his face is closed to Zackeeyah.
Zackeeyah's heart skip a beat as she tried to stop herself from falling any further to Jayden since she already have Daniel.
"Your too close Jayden," she almost whispered as Jayden sat properly. Wendy smiled seeing them get along as she stared at Zachary who was quiet the whole trip.
Wendy tap Zade as he gave him a look as Zade understands what she meant by her look.
"What's wrong Zachary?" Zade asked as Zachary smiled sadly. "It's just quiet lately that Target isn't around, She always have something to say to me." He said as he had attachment issue with Target since they have been together for a long time.
"I see, I'm sorry for being incompetent master." Anastasia said as Zachary got anxious. "N-No it's not like that Anastasia, Your not the problem here." Zachary reassured as Zade smiled at them.
"Now Zachary, Target needed to be away for awhile since that's a little request from the Admiral himself." Zade said as they arrive to Steel's mansion as the staff welcome them warmly.
Mary was there waiting for them as Aaron immediately run towards her. "How have you been? Did Steel did something bad on you?" Aaron asked immediately as Mary smiled at him.
"Come on now Aaron stop overlooked things like that. I'm a change man now." Steel said as he approached Zade and gave him a handshake.
It's been years since he met this people. "I see that Wendy is getting younger each day." Steel said as he kissed Zackeeyah's hand as Zackeeyah looked at Jayden.
"Hey back off, This isn't Wendy but Zackeeyah Emerie Reyes." Jayden said as Wendy laughed on the corner. "How's life lately Steel?" He asked as Steel was stunned looking at Zackeeyah and back to Wendy since Zackeeyah have the spitting image of Wendy when she was younger.
"I'm sorry about that young missy. Anyways I've been doing okay in a lot of ways and I owe that to the Reyes for giving me another chance to prove myself." He said as he bow down.
"My staff will guide you to the guestroom please enjoy your stay." He said as he stopped when he looked at Anastasia.
"Anastasia..." He whispered as Anastasia smiled and wink at him.
When Halix made a request about giving Steel a chance to live and rebuild his character to the village of Mercy, Anastasia was the one who fixed some reports and helped Steel stand back to his feet since Aaron cannot do it because he is still pissed about Steel almost marrying Mary.
'The beautiful woman who save me from the misery of death. Anastasia is here.' Steel whispered to himself as Aaron saw how Steel looked at Anastasia.
'Why is he looking at her like that?' Aaron thought as Mary hold her hand. "Hey, Let's go to our room." She said as she smiled at him.
Anastasia smiled at Steel as they began talking about certain things. 'They are really hitting it off...' Aaron thought as he glance lastly at them and saw how Anastasia laughed in front of Steel.
Zade saw Aaron's reaction as he looked at how Steel and Anastasia is making a vibe. 'Did I misinterpret my twin's feeling?' he asked himself as Wendy holds her hand. "What's wrong babe?" Wendy asked as Zade shrugged the idea off.
"Nothing babe, Anyways do you want to take a rest first before going to the graves?" He asked as Wendy nodded since it was a long ride after all.
"Okay, Let's get some rest then." Zade said. "Mom! Dad!" Zachary shouted in the hallway as he run towards them. "What is it Zachary?" Zade asked.
"What the hell are they doing here?" He asked as his tone is angry pointing at the people coming inside.
It was Zel together with Camilla and Zion. "I see, they want to witness Aaron's proposal probably." Zade said as he looked at Zachary.
"Bring your Mom to our room. I'll greet them downstairs." He said as Zachary nodded as Zade went down to meet Zel and his dying mother.
Aaron was looking at the window as he saw Zel's cars outside. He looked worried about their appearance but they still need to show respect to Zel after all he was the chairman of the Empire.
His very existence is what made the Falcon where it is now.
"Aaron," Mary called as Aaron looked at her. "You seem a little bit distracted, Are you okay?" She asked as Aaron smiled knowing that he isn't.
"I'm fine Mary, How was your stay here?" He asked as Mary smiled sadly. "I was happy seeing the village of Mercy back to its feet but this isn't the village that I once knew anymore." She started.
"It change in a lot of ways since it's been twenty years since this village got burn down into ashes." Mary said since she herself witness such a horrible scene.
"Did you went to see Margaret?" He asked as Mary nodded. "I went to see my father too." She added as Aaron didn't respond.
"Anyways, I want to thank you for giving me a time off and letting me stay here for awhile." Mary said as Aaron nodded.
'Is it me or Aaron was just a bit cold today?' Mary asked herself.
"Ahhhhh fvcking shit why didn't you tell me about this Jayden?!" Zackeeyah hissed as Jayden closed the door.
"This was a long vacation?! I thought we will just stay here for a few days! I should have invited Daniel if I knew this will take us a month!" Zackeeyah said as she looked angrily at Jayden who is busy unpacking their things.
"I didn't tell you because I knew that you will do that." He said as Zackeeyah glared at him. "Do you have a problem with my future boyfriend?" She asked as Jayden stopped unpacking and stand properly as he face her.
"Yes, I do..." He answered as Zackeeyah raised her eyebrows. "Come again?" She asked verifying what she heard is right.
"I said yes, I have a problem with that! I hate seeing that guy clinging on you. Your such a beautiful jewel to be messed with." Jayden said that made Zackeeyah opened her mouth in shock.
"A-Are you perhaps jealous?" She asked as Jayden glared at her. "Who wouldn't be mad if you see your fiance getting hit with another guy." He said as he went back unpacking their things.
"Fiance? W-What are you saying?!" She asked as Jayden didn't respond and continued what he's been doing.
"AHHHHHHHH UNCLE AARON!!!!" Zackeeyah shouted as Aaron's bracelet blinks as he immediately rushed towards Zackeeyah's room.
Aaron had this special rong that was made for him so he will know if the twins are in trouble or if they are calling for him.
"What the fvck happened?!" Aaron asked as Zackeeyah was teary eyed while Jayden looked at Aaron with bored eyes.
"What's the problem here?" Wendy asked as she heard the commotion as Jayden stands up properly. Zade came and stands beside Wendy as Jayden bow down his head.
"I've finally decided to officially announced our engagement here in the Village of Mercy. Please give me your blessings on having Zackeeyah as my partner." Jayden said as Zachary was stopped hearing such a things.
"What the hell is happening?! Didn't you rejected Target since you love my Mom?! Don't tell me your marrying my twin sister since she looked exactly like my Mom?! I OBJECT!" Zachary said as he grabbed Zackeeyah's hands and run outside the mansion.
"Anastasia follow them, Jayden stay here as we will have a talk about your sudden decision." Zade said as Zel smirked. "I guess the three that you planted finally bears a fruit." Zel said as Zade glance at him.
"If you try something funny again between my children and Wendy I will not hesitate to kill you even if you are the chairman of the Falcon Empire. The Reyes can stand alone now even without your existence Zel." Zade said as Zel smiled.
"I am deeply aware of that Zade, Please don't mind me. I'm just hear to watch." He said as they proceed to the living room.
Zachary and Zackeeyah was panting as they didn't know where are they even going. "Zachary I can't run anymore!" She shouted as Zachary stopped as he let go of Zackeeyah's hand.
"Why did we have to run away?" She asked as Zachary looked at her. "Your not happy about Jayden's confession aren't you?" Zachary asked as Zackeeyah blushed.
"SHRUGGED THAT OFF ZACKEEYAH EMERIE REYES! That guy had been hopelessly devoted to our mother! It is such a possible thing for him to like you not with the reason that you looked exactly like our mother!" Zachary shouted as they caught the attention of the people around them.
"But maybe he just..."
"Raise your standard to the highest! Don't let that man get into your head he is way older than us and we should outsmart those adults! Do you wish to have a partner that thinks of you as Wendy and not Zackeeyah?" Zachary's question hit Zackeeyah in the head.
"Then what should I do Zachary? I really really really liked him..." She almost whispered as she kneel down to her knees and cried.
'After all I am Zackeeyah Emerie Reyes not Wendy Emerie Reyes.'
