They are at the patio together with Edmond while eating their late breakfast. Gia is sitting on the lounge chair with her feet up the arm of the chair. The table and Edmond is in front of her eating. She is doing something in her mini laptop while eating her homemade burger. Edmond is eating in a much welled mannered while she is not. She's wearing a white dress that is X-back without any shoes on. He is staring at her like studying her.
"You know it is not pleasant on staring at people." She told him.
"What are you doing?" he asked. She entered the keyboard hologram showing him. It is the design or the plan of a certain city. But the plan looked so much real like you can touch it but it is just a hologram that looks real even in the light. "And what's that?"
"I designed this city. And now, the land that I bought which is 10, 023 sq. km and 9, 234 sq mi is under construction. They are going to build every part of this plan."
"So, you are going to be the mayor of the city?" he asked.
"Not actually, but I am going to be the President, which is I will manipulate people, here." She said pointing the hologram. "There are lots of people around the world who still haven't home yet, I will make them as sub actor and actresses and I will gather lots of actresses in the whole world to perform." She explained not ending it.
"I don't get it..." he said shaking his head. Gia sighed and frowns.
"If you don't get it, stop asking it will make you more nuts. I will just show you everything after this had built." She said entering on her keypad and the hologram was gone.

Reina woke up at eight-thirty. She felt an arm around her waist and a warm palm on her navel. The soft warm body is pressing at her back. She can feel and hear Lester's heart beat and his warm breathe at her nape. She looked down at her chest and her breast is showing so she pulled up the satin sheet. She looked around and almost everything is messed up. There's ripped clothes on the floor and also towel. Some pillows are ripped too and the cotton is on the floor. She sat up holding his wrist removing it from her. He grabbed her down and she fall back on the mattress. He kissed her shoulder softly and gently, up to her neck, tracing her jaw line ending up on her lips.
"Good morning," he smiled.
"Morning," she said in low voice. "Do you mind of releasing me? It's eight quarter." She said peeved on him. He giggles and just held her naked waist tight pressing her in his naked body.
"You said that we need to make love more often, why won't we have some morning intercourse?" he proposed. His hand crawls up her chest and she felt her hair stood at her nape. She throws his arms and she sat up removing the satin sheet. She cross over her tights above his hips and faced him.
"Since that we had done this a lot last night, why not?" she said in her cool tune. Lester smiles and he tilt his head giving her a kiss on the corner of her lips.
<><><><>
Gia stopped on what she is doing when she sense, Lester's presence and Reina's presence. They sat on the vacant chairs on the table. Gia is staring at Lester while they are eating. She is like going to eat Lester alive or what. Reina stopped when she had realized something.
"You did have sexual intercourse with Reina last night." Gia said loudly and forthright that startles everyone in the patio on her. Lester jaws drops and Reina had put her palm on her forehead. She completely forgot that it has an effect on Gia. She just went all the way to the drift of her feelings. "Am I right, Lester Blake?" Gia interrogated. Edmond was gaping and also shocked on what she had said.
"H-how do you know that?" he stammers.
"My mark is burning and it's itchy on whatever sensation you felt together last night. It's getting me up tight and do you know that I have to wake up early in the morning when the sun is still sleeping because of what you did?"
"Gia, can you just fall silent for a while and let them finished eating?" Edmond alluded. "Or just simply shut up."
"You are so dead to me Lester." Gia frowned ignoring Edmond. "If this is not a good sign you get ready yourself from death." She threatens. Reina wanted to laugh and she just laughed silently on her mind.
"But Edmond is with you, right?" Reina interrupted that saved Lester for a while and to make him catch his breath. Edmond was baffled on what Reina is talking about. "You won't feel it just let Edmond be with you." Reina said nonchalantly taking a sip on her orange milk juice. Lester had to smirk and he smiled at Reina meaningfully but Reina rolled her eyes on him.
"Yeah, just let Edmond holds you." Lester said playfully teasing her. Gia throw the table napkin on Lester's face. She stood and went at the side of Reina showing her, her back. The birth mark is showing on her X-backless dress so she doesn't bother pulling down or pulling up her dress just to make them see it.
"Wow," Reina was astonished on the increasing of the mark.
"What does it mean?" she asked.
"I don't know we have to ask Gretta about this. It's kind-a complicated thing in their signs which is a sign that is written in Latin." She told scratching her chin.
"The hieroglyph is like a combination of Egyptian and Mayan hieroglyph." Edmond said. Gia looked at him suspiciously like he's a criminal. "There's something wrong on what I said?"
"No, it is just; you gave me an idea about it." She smirked like an evil genius.
"What idea? Mind of sharing?" he asked. Lester cleared his throat.
"We can do research about that? I mean, I have been researching about it when I had been destined in Egypt." Lester suggested.
"No, we are going back to Ireland. I don't want to waste my precious time in researching, if we can ask Gretta."
"Oh-kay." Lester hands up. "I am just suggesting." He murmurs pouting. Gia gaze at him impassively.
Lawrence clapped his hand once to get everyone's attention while walking in the middle of the patio. They all looked at him.
"Okay, since this is our vacation, we are going to start our tradition." Lawrence speaks.
"What tradition?" Edmond asked Lester. Lester looked at him and grins.
"It's a tradition that we always do whenever we are in beach for vacation. We always do this almost 2 times in a year."
"For short, we are going to have a game." Gia told. Edmond bounced his head up and down.
"But before that, I would like to tell everyone that whoever makes it in level 20 will be sleeping in the mansion for a night and people who can't make it in level 20 will stay here in beach for the survival night." Lawrence explains. Everyone objects murmuring. Survival night in the beach is terrifying and you will wake up in the morning like a zombie. "The rule is very simple, "dead or alive." Lawrence smirked.
"It sounds very terrifying." Edmond said.
"Yes, because it's terrifying." Victoria said. The twin make "awoo" sounds like there's a ghost or whatsoever. Victoria grimaced at them because she is afraid of bad ghosts. She can see things that ordinary people can't see. She had the sixth sense. The twin laughs. Logan's daughter Stephanie smirked looking at Victoria. "I will do everything just to be in the level 20 and you two are going to die." She threatens.
"We're so scared." The twin said mockingly. Victoria shook her head.
"Okay, I am not yet done talking, sweetie." Lawrence told Victoria. She just rolled her eyes. "So, we grouped you into 10 and there's 3 members each team."
Edmond listens carefully. He wanted to be teamed with Gia or if he and Gia is only in one team. Lawrence is dictating the groups which include the Florente Family, Blake's family, Da Vinci Family, and James Family. Their kids are just going to play the game while their parents are the facilitators in the game. They are also the one who make the games and tasks.
"Gia is with Miles and Stephen," Lawrence declares. The twin squeals and Gia runs to them jumping to them while they caught her and they are jumping.
"Yes! Whooo!" the twin cheers. Edmond felt disappointed. Lawrence continues declaring the groups. Reina is with Lester and Stephanie. Alex is with Victoria and Edmond, Lian is with Ryle (Roco's daughter) and Ken (Eros' son. Eros is Athena's youngest brother)... and so on and so forth.
"Our first tasked is treasure hunting." Lawrence said. They cheers and Edmond looked at Gia whose arms are on the twin which she is in between them. The twin kissed her cheeks.
"Jealous?" Alex asked. Edmond gazes at him. "Do not worry about Gia; she's our enemy for now. We have to win this game or we are dead."
"Not really dead, right?" he asked. Alex laughs.
"No, by what it means dead, we going to suffer if we didn't make it on level 20."
"Okay, I understand." Edmond said.
Lawrence explained them some rules on playing the treasure hunt. If they had completed the ten cards and had find the key, they are going to move into level 3 which is the amazing race. Amazing race has 15 levels and each level had a piece of puzzle that they have to complete. And that level is level 19, each team will going to race to the boat house Cassandra after completing the puzzle. Finally the last level is level 20 which is the IQ test.
"Now we are going to make you settle in 10 minutes. Change clothes that will make you comfortable or plan for your strategies. Then you are going back here after the time is done to pick your cards."
The game started. Edmond is wearing his beach shorts and his white shirt and hiking shoes like his team is wearing. He looked at Gia and studied her white dress which has a long sleeve but the cloth is very thin. Then she is wearing her sneakers and her big hat. Gia raise her eyebrows at him. Edmond winked at her that disgust her by rolling her eyes.
Lester is being importunate to Reina who is very cold on him. Stephanie laughs at Lester and she joke him that Reina doesn't like males like him. Lester frowns at his cousin. Alex and Lian are talking to each like no one can take them apart where they are so romantic and sweet.
"You need to make it in level 20, okay?" Alex told her. Lian smiles sweetly.
"I know we have plans in the boat house so we have to make it in level 20." She said sweetly. They are whispering at each other.
"It's okay if you didn't make it. We are just going to make it next time." Alex said. Lian frowns at him and her sweet smile disappears.
"No way!" she slapped his arm. "I am going to break up with you if it didn't happen!" she shouts at him. Alex shook his head rolling his eyes.
"Whatever." He said peeking on her lips and he went to his team. Lian is so irritated and her blood is boiling because of him.
"I am going to break up with you after this!" she yells at him Alex hands up rolling his eyes. He is doing it on purpose.
"You just make her annoyed." Edmond said. Alex move his mouth closer to his ear after Lian had turn her back.
"Yup, I'm doing it on purpose for the both team to win."
"Is that even possible?" Edmond asked.
"It is." Victoria answers while having a warm up, stretching her legs, arms and her body. "Lawrence said that if whoever makes it on level 20 will stay in the mansion. But whoever wins the last level will have a prize." Victoria explains. Edmond nods.
Athena is speaking with her youngest daughter about some things. She gave Gia an inhaler neck lacing it on her.
"You need to use this before the asthma attack, okay? Boys watch over my baby." Athena told the twin. The twin salutes while their arms are around Gia's shoulder.
"I'm not a baby mother." Gia objects at her. Athena smiles at her. "Why won't you just ask dad to have another baby, so that you won't treat me like a baby." She said frankly.
"We are still thinking about it." Ares winked at her. "We are thinking to adopt 10 kids and make another 7." Ares grins. Athena punched Ares on the stomach that make him grunts. He hugged his wife.
"Cool." Gia said without any emotions.
"I did not agree on having 20 children." Athena whispered huskily on her husband.
"I love you, Cass." He just told her patting her head. Gia shook her head while the twin admired their sweetness.
"Get a room!" Gia scowls.
The game had started and they picked their own cards. Then after they had analyzed where the next card is they ran as fast as they can just to get there. Edmond is doing his best with Gia's sister and brother. They are smart and they had found where the next card is by just reading it. Gia and the twin are doing well and as for Lian's team they did the same.
After Gia and her team had got the key after completing the ten cards and they went to level 3 the amazing race. They went to station one and they gave them the task to get the piece of puzzle. They had climbed the tallest wall to get their flag.
"You surely wear dress on this." Miles told Gia. Gia smirked.
"I did."
They went to another station which is station 5 and they had encountered Edmond's team. They are going get to the cave and they also ran to the cave. There's a hard cap with a flashlight on the cap. They wore it and they entered the cave. Gia's waterloo is dark so the twin had held her hands until they get inside. There are a few lanterns that lighten the cave bit. They jumped to the stones to the stones and be sure that no one will fall on the water or jumped in the wrong stone or else the stone will sink into the water. If someone had fell on the water the alligators are ready to smack them. But the alligators are just holograms including the snakes, which look real even in the light.
"Ah!" Victoria screams when she tripped on the stone. Edmond and Alex had holds her hand for her not to fall.
"I hope you don't get any scratch." Miles told Victoria. He got a long crush on Victoria. "You know that you are my type!" Gia slap his back head.
"You're not my type, Miles." Victoria said. Gia pulls the twin for them to jump another rock.
"Concentrate!" Gia told.
The twin held her both wrist and Gia stepped one foot on another rock but the twin automatically pulled her before she sink with the stone. After few stones they had reached the marble floor and they looked at the volt at the back of the big stone. The torches on the sides lighten up.
"Don't move." Gia told the twin before they had ran to the volt. "There are lasers," she said.
She moved the flashlight from left to right and they can see clearly that there are lasers. Gia and Victoria grabbed the flour powder and they blow on the lasers and the red lasers shows. Victoria smirked. She is good in gymnastic so she can passed it. She tumbling, bending and careful not to touch the lasers.
"Gia, can you do it?" Stephen asked. Gia shook her head.
"I don't know, but I have to try." She said.
She is the smallest among their team. So she tied her hair into tight bun and she removed her dress throwing it on Stephen's face, now she is only wearing a beach shorts and bra. Edmond looked away after seeing her like that. She got a sexy curve and round breast and she is almost perfect. Victoria is now on the middle and she is just about to start. She studied the lasers and where she can enter. She stretches her arms and legs and she dive on the laser being careful not to touch any of it. She rolls and stopped when the laser light is in front of her face. She tumbling and bending.
Edmond gapes on what Gia is doing. She's like dancing a jazz. She lifted her right arm gently standing up and she jumped like a ballerina. Victoria dives again rolling, tumbling and doing jumping like playing Chinese garter. Then she reached the volt. The twin clapped their hands puffing air with sound.
"Whoo! That was amazing baby! We love you now!" they chorus. Edmond smiles wide. Gia winked at them.
"You did really do a great job sis." Victoria said and she pushed the button on the right side for her team to walk without passing the lasers. Gia did the same on the left side for her team. They ran to the two big volts.
"I am always watching your stunts." Gia told her sister.
They started opening the old volt by twisting it to find the right codes. Miles is expert on it so he does it while Alex is expert too in their group so he does too. Edmond is talking to Gia while their team is busy opening the volt.
"Did you practice that?" he asked.
"No, I just do it because of ballet and jazz dancing in theatre." She told while wearing her dress.
"Oh, but it's very dramatic of you doing it." He said. Miles had opened the volt.
"Oh! Gotta go." She winked and they ran outside. The volt is the passage outside to the next station. Alex had opened the volt too so they ran after them as fast as they can. They separate ways when they got the piece of puzzle.
After finding the 14 pieces where they will find the last one they ran to the speed boat and they drove it in the middle where there is a floating light for the boundary. Gia squeezed her inhaler and she relaxed her body. Miles gave her water while Stephen is driving the boat. Lian's team and Edmond's team are also racing to the middle. Gia squeezed her inhaler again to gain strength.
Edmond is driving the boat and he is fast driver than them.
"You gotta be kidding me." Stephen shouts. He speed the boat. When they are at the boundary, Gia removed her dress. "Are you sure about this Gia?" Stephen asked.
"Yup! I know that you are not good at swimming so I will take this besides you did a lot." Gia told. Miles and Gia dive into the water and Ryle and Ken in Lian's group dive into water. Edmond is tapping on the wheel waiting for them come out. He is worried to Gia.
"Gia? You can do it right?" Stephen asked worried of her though she's under water looking for the last puzzle. Lian's team first come out and next is Alex's team. Edmond is worried. Miles had come out the water with the puzzle. "Where's Gia?" he asked.
"She's just behind me..." they all stopped. Where's Gia?

They are at the patio together with Edmond while eating their late breakfast. Gia is sitting on the lounge chair with her feet up the arm of the chair. The table and Edmond is in front of her eating. She is doing something in her mini laptop while eating her homemade burger. Edmond is eating in a much welled mannered while she is not. She's wearing a white dress that is X-back without any shoes on. He is staring at her like studying her.
"You know it is not pleasant on staring at people." She told him.
"What are you doing?" he asked. She entered the keyboard hologram showing him. It is the design or the plan of a certain city. But the plan looked so much real like you can touch it but it is just a hologram that looks real even in the light. "And what's that?"
"I designed this city. And now, the land that I bought which is 10, 023 sq. km and 9, 234 sq mi is under construction. They are going to build every part of this plan."
"So, you are going to be the mayor of the city?" he asked.
"Not actually, but I am going to be the President, which is I will manipulate people, here." She said pointing the hologram. "There are lots of people around the world who still haven't home yet, I will make them as sub actor and actresses and I will gather lots of actresses in the whole world to perform." She explained not ending it.
"I don't get it..." he said shaking his head. Gia sighed and frowns.
"If you don't get it, stop asking it will make you more nuts. I will just show you everything after this had built." She said entering on her keypad and the hologram was gone.

Reina woke up at eight-thirty. She felt an arm around her waist and a warm palm on her navel. The soft warm body is pressing at her back. She can feel and hear Lester's heart beat and his warm breathe at her nape. She looked down at her chest and her breast is showing so she pulled up the satin sheet. She looked around and almost everything is messed up. There's ripped clothes on the floor and also towel. Some pillows are ripped too and the cotton is on the floor. She sat up holding his wrist removing it from her. He grabbed her down and she fall back on the mattress. He kissed her shoulder softly and gently, up to her neck, tracing her jaw line ending up on her lips.
"Good morning," he smiled.
"Morning," she said in low voice. "Do you mind of releasing me? It's eight quarter." She said peeved on him. He giggles and just held her naked waist tight pressing her in his naked body.
"You said that we need to make love more often, why won't we have some morning intercourse?" he proposed. His hand crawls up her chest and she felt her hair stood at her nape. She throws his arms and she sat up removing the satin sheet. She cross over her tights above his hips and faced him.
"Since that we had done this a lot last night, why not?" she said in her cool tune. Lester smiles and he tilt his head giving her a kiss on the corner of her lips.

Gia stopped on what she is doing when she sense, Lester's presence and Reina's presence. They sat on the vacant chairs on the table. Gia is staring at Lester while they are eating. She is like going to eat Lester alive or what. Reina stopped when she had realized something.
"You did have sexual intercourse with Reina last night." Gia said loudly and forthright that startles everyone in the patio on her. Lester jaws drops and Reina had put her palm on her forehead. She completely forgot that it has an effect on Gia. She just went all the way to the drift of her feelings. "Am I right, Lester Blake?" Gia interrogated. Edmond was gaping and also shocked on what she had said.
"H-how do you know that?" he stammers.
"My mark is burning and it's itchy on whatever sensation you felt together last night. It's getting me up tight and do you know that I have to wake up early in the morning when the sun is still sleeping because of what you did?"
"Gia, can you just fall silent for a while and let them finished eating?" Edmond alluded. "Or just simply shut up."
"You are so dead to me Lester." Gia frowned ignoring Edmond. "If this is not a good sign you get ready yourself from death." She threatens. Reina wanted to laugh and she just laughed silently on her mind.

The birth mark is showing on her X-backless dress so she doesn't bother pulling down or pulling up her dress just to make them see it.
"Wow," Reina was astonished on the increasing of the mark.
"What does it mean?" she asked.
"I don't know we have to ask Gretta about this. It's kind-a complicated thing in their signs which is a sign that is written in Latin." She told scratching her chin.
"The hieroglyph is like a combination of Egyptian and Mayan hieroglyph." Edmond said. Gia looked at him suspiciously like he's a criminal. "There's something wrong on what I said?"
"No, it is just; you gave me an idea about it." She smirked like an evil genius.
"What idea? Mind of sharing?" he asked. Lester cleared his throat.
"We can do research about that? I mean, I have been researching about it when I had been destined in Egypt." Lester suggested.
"No, we are going back to Ireland. I don't want to waste my precious time in researching, if we can ask Gretta."
"Oh-kay." Lester hands up. "I am just suggesting." He murmurs pouting. Gia gaze at him impassively.
Lawrence clapped his hand once to get everyone's attention while walking in the middle of the patio. They all looked at him.

Edmond looked away after seeing her like that. She got a sexy curve and round breast and she is almost perfect. Victoria is now on the middle and she is just about to start. She studied the lasers and where she can enter. She stretches her arms and legs and she dive on the laser being careful not to touch any of it. She rolls and stopped when the laser light is in front of her face. She tumbling and bending.
Edmond gapes on what Gia is doing. She's like dancing a jazz. She lifted her right arm gently standing up and she jumped like a ballerina. Victoria dives again rolling, tumbling and doing jumping like playing Chinese garter. Then she reached the volt. The twin clapped their hands puffing air with sound.
"Whoo! That was amazing baby! We love you now!" they chorus. Edmond smiles wide. Gia winked at them.
"You did really do a great job sis." Victoria said and she pushed the button on the right side for her team to walk without passing the lasers. Gia did the same on the left side for her team. They ran to the two big volts.
"I am always watching your stunts." Gia told her sister.
They started opening the old volt by twisting it to find the right codes. Miles is expert on it so he does it while Alex is expert too in their group so he does too. Edmond is talking to Gia while their team is busy opening the volt.
"Did you practice that?" he asked.
"No, I just do it because of ballet and jazz dancing in theatre." She told while wearing her dress.
"Oh, but it's very dramatic of you doing it." He said. Miles had opened the volt.
"Oh! Gotta go." She winked and they ran outside. The volt is the passage outside to the next station. Alex had opened the volt too so they ran after them as fast as they can. They separate ways when they got the piece of puzzle.
After finding the 14 pieces where they will find the last one they ran to the speed boat and they drove it in the middle where there is a floating light for the boundary. Gia squeezed her inhaler and she relaxed her body. Miles gave her water while Stephen is driving the boat. Lian's team and Edmond's team are also racing to the middle. Gia squeezed her inhaler again to gain strength.
Edmond is driving the boat and he is fast driver than them.
"You gotta be kidding me." Stephen shouts. He speed the boat. When they are at the boundary, Gia removed her dress. "Are you sure about this Gia?" Stephen asked.
"Yup! I know that you are not good at swimming so I will take this besides you did a lot." Gia told. Miles and Gia dive into the water and Ryle and Ken in Lian's group dive into water. Edmond is tapping on the wheel waiting for them come out. He is worried to Gia.
"Gia? You can do it right?" Stephen asked worried of her though she's under water looking for the last puzzle. Lian's team first come out and next is Alex's team. Edmond is worried. Miles had come out the water with the puzzle. "Where's Gia?" he asked.
"She's just behind me..." they all stopped. Where's Gia?
They are at the patio together with Edmond while eating their late breakfast. Gia is sitting on the lounge chair with her feet up the arm of the chair. The table and Edmond is in front of her eating. She is doing something in her mini laptop while eating her homemade burger. Edmond is eating in a much welled mannered while she is not. She's wearing a white dress that is X-back without any shoes on. He is staring at her like studying her."You know it is not pleasant on staring at people." She told him."What are you doing?" he asked. She entered the keyboard hologram showing him. It is the design or the plan of a certain city. But the plan looked so much real like you can touch it but it is just a hologram that looks real even in the light. "And what's that?""I designed this city. And now, the land that I bought which is 10, 023 sq. km and 9, 234 sq mi is under construction. They are going to build every part of this plan.""So, you are going to be the mayor of the city?" he asked."Not actually, but I am going to be the President, which is I will manipulate people, here." She said pointing the hologram. "There are lots of people around the world who still haven't home yet, I will make them as sub actor and actresses and I will gather lots of actresses in the whole world to perform." She explained not ending it."I don't get it..." he said shaking his head. Gia sighed and frowns."If you don't get it, stop asking it will make you more nuts. I will just show you everything after this had built." She said entering on her keypad and the hologram was gone.Reina woke up at eight-thirty. She felt an arm around her waist and a warm palm on her navel. The soft warm body is pressing at her back. She can feel and hear Lester's heart beat and his warm breathe at her nape. She looked down at her chest and her breast is showing so she pulled up the satin sheet. She looked around and almost everything is messed up. There's ripped clothes on the floor and also towel. Some pillows are ripped too and the cotton is on the floor. She sat up holding his wrist removing it from her. He grabbed her down and she fall back on the mattress. He kissed her shoulder softly and gently, up to her neck, tracing her jaw line ending up on her lips."Good morning," he smiled."Morning," she said in low voice. "Do you mind of releasing me? It's eight quarter." She said peeved on him. He giggles and just held her naked waist tight pressing her in his naked body."You said that we need to make love more often, why won't we have some morning intercourse?" he proposed. His hand crawls up her chest and she felt her hair stood at her nape. She throws his arms and she sat up removing the satin sheet. She cross over her tights above his hips and faced him."Since that we had done this a lot last night, why not?" she said in her cool tune. Lester smiles and he tilt his head giving her a kiss on the corner of her lips.Gia stopped on what she is doing when she sense, Lester's presence and Reina's presence. They sat on the vacant chairs on the table. Gia is staring at Lester while they are eating. She is like going to eat Lester alive or what. Reina stopped when she had realized something."You did have sexual intercourse with Reina last night." Gia said loudly and forthright that startles everyone in the patio on her. Lester jaws drops and Reina had put her palm on her forehead. She completely forgot that it has an effect on Gia. She just went all the way to the drift of her feelings. "Am I right, Lester Blake?" Gia interrogated. Edmond was gaping and also shocked on what she had said."H-how do you know that?" he stammers."My mark is burning and it's itchy on whatever sensation you felt together last night. It's getting me up tight and do you know that I have to wake up early in the morning when the sun is still sleeping because of what you did?""Gia, can you just fall silent for a while and let them finished eating?" Edmond alluded. "Or just simply shut up.""You are so dead to me Lester." Gia frowned ignoring Edmond. "If this is not a good sign you get ready yourself from death." She threatens. Reina wanted to laugh and she just laughed silently on her mind."But Edmond is with you, right?" Reina interrupted that saved Lester for a while and to make him catch his breath. Edmond was baffled on what Reina is talking about. "You won't feel it just let Edmond be with you." Reina said nonchalantly taking a sip on her orange milk juice. Lester had to smirk and he smiled at Reina meaningfully but Reina rolled her eyes on him."Yeah, just let Edmond holds you." Lester said playfully teasing her. Gia throw the table napkin on Lester's face. She stood and went at the side of Reina showing her, her back. The birth mark is showing on her X-backless dress so she doesn't bother pulling down or pulling up her dress just to make them see it."Wow," Reina was astonished on the increasing of the mark."What does it mean?" she asked."I don't know we have to ask Gretta about this. It's kind-a complicated thing in their signs which is a sign that is written in Latin." She told scratching her chin."The hieroglyph is like a combination of Egyptian and Mayan hieroglyph." Edmond said. Gia looked at him suspiciously like he's a criminal. "There's something wrong on what I said?""No, it is just; you gave me an idea about it." She smirked like an evil genius."What idea? Mind of sharing?" he asked. Lester cleared his throat."We can do research about that? I mean, I have been researching about it when I had been destined in Egypt." Lester suggested."No, we are going back to Ireland. I don't want to waste my precious time in researching, if we can ask Gretta.""Oh-kay." Lester hands up. "I am just suggesting." He murmurs pouting. Gia gaze at him impassively.Lawrence clapped his hand once to get everyone's attention while walking in the middle of the patio. They all looked at him."Okay, since this is our vacation, we are going to start our tradition." Lawrence speaks."What tradition?" Edmond asked Lester. Lester looked at him and grins."It's a tradition that we always do whenever we are in beach for vacation. We always do this almost 2 times in a year.""For short, we are going to have a game." Gia told. Edmond bounced his head up and down."But before that, I would like to tell everyone that whoever makes it in level 20 will be sleeping in the mansion for a night and people who can't make it in level 20 will stay here in beach for the survival night." Lawrence explains. Everyone objects murmuring. Survival night in the beach is terrifying and you will wake up in the morning like a zombie. "The rule is very simple, "dead or alive." Lawrence smirked."It sounds very terrifying." Edmond said."Yes, because it's terrifying." Victoria said. The twin make "awoo" sounds like there's a ghost or whatsoever. Victoria grimaced at them because she is afraid of bad ghosts. She can see things that ordinary people can't see. She had the sixth sense. The twin laughs. Logan's daughter Stephanie smirked looking at Victoria. "I will do everything just to be in the level 20 and you two are going to die." She threatens."We're so scared." The twin said mockingly. Victoria shook her head."Okay, I am not yet done talking, sweetie." Lawrence told Victoria. She just rolled her eyes. "So, we grouped you into 10 and there's 3 members each team."Edmond listens carefully. He wanted to be teamed with Gia or if he and Gia is only in one team. Lawrence is dictating the groups which include the Florente Family, Blake's family, Da Vinci Family, and James Family. Their kids are just going to play the game while their parents are the facilitators in the game. They are also the one who make the games and tasks."Gia is with Miles and Stephen," Lawrence declares. The twin squeals and Gia runs to them jumping to them while they caught her and they are jumping."Yes! Whooo!" the twin cheers. Edmond felt disappointed. Lawrence continues declaring the groups. Reina is with Lester and Stephanie. Alex is with Victoria and Edmond, Lian is with Ryle Roco's daughter and Ken Eros' son. Eros is Athena's youngest brother... and so on and so forth."Our first tasked is treasure hunting." Lawrence said. They cheers and Edmond looked at Gia whose arms are on the twin which she is in between them. The twin kissed her cheeks."Jealous?" Alex asked. Edmond gazes at him. "Do not worry about Gia; she's our enemy for now. We have to win this game or we are dead.""Not really dead, right?" he asked. Alex laughs."No, by what it means dead, we going to suffer if we didn't make it on level 20.""Okay, I understand." Edmond said.Lawrence explained them some rules on playing the treasure hunt. If they had completed the ten cards and had find the key, they are going to move into level 3 which is the amazing race. Amazing race has 15 levels and each level had a piece of puzzle that they have to complete. And that level is level 19, each team will going to race to the boat house Cassandra after completing the puzzle. Finally the last level is level 20 which is the IQ test."Now we are going to make you settle in 10 minutes. Change clothes that will make you comfortable or plan for your strategies. Then you are going back here after the time is done to pick your cards."The game started. Edmond is wearing his beach shorts and his white shirt and hiking shoes like his team is wearing. He looked at Gia and studied her white dress which has a long sleeve but the cloth is very thin. Then she is wearing her sneakers and her big hat. Gia raise her eyebrows at him. Edmond winked at her that disgust her by rolling her eyes.Lester is being importunate to Reina who is very cold on him. Stephanie laughs at Lester and she joke him that Reina doesn't like males like him. Lester frowns at his cousin. Alex and Lian are talking to each like no one can take them apart where they are so romantic and sweet."You need to make it in level 20, okay?" Alex told her. Lian smiles sweetly."I know we have plans in the boat house so we have to make it in level 20." She said sweetly. They are whispering at each other."It's okay if you didn't make it. We are just going to make it next time." Alex said. Lian frowns at him and her sweet smile disappears."No way!" she slapped his arm. "I am going to break up with you if it didn't happen!" she shouts at him. Alex shook his head rolling his eyes."Whatever." He said peeking on her lips and he went to his team. Lian is so irritated and her blood is boiling because of him."I am going to break up with you after this!" she yells at him Alex hands up rolling his eyes. He is doing it on purpose."You just make her annoyed." Edmond said. Alex move his mouth closer to his ear after Lian had turn her back."Yup, I'm doing it on purpose for the both team to win.""Is that even possible?" Edmond asked."It is." Victoria answers while having a warm up, stretching her legs, arms and her body. "Lawrence said that if whoever makes it on level 20 will stay in the mansion. But whoever wins the last level will have a prize." Victoria explains. Edmond nods.Athena is speaking with her youngest daughter about some things. She gave Gia an inhaler neck lacing it on her."You need to use this before the asthma attack, okay? Boys watch over my baby." Athena told the twin. The twin salutes while their arms are around Gia's shoulder."I'm not a baby mother." Gia objects at her. Athena smiles at her. "Why won't you just ask dad to have another baby, so that you won't treat me like a baby." She said frankly."We are still thinking about it." Ares winked at her. "We are thinking to adopt 10 kids and make another 7." Ares grins. Athena punched Ares on the stomach that make him grunts. He hugged his wife."Cool." Gia said without any emotions."I did not agree on having 20 children." Athena whispered huskily on her husband."I love you, Cass." He just told her patting her head. Gia shook her head while the twin admired their sweetness."Get a room!" Gia scowls.The game had started and they picked their own cards. Then after they had analyzed where the next card is they ran as fast as they can just to get there. Edmond is doing his best with Gia's sister and brother. They are smart and they had found where the next card is by just reading it. Gia and the twin are doing well and as for Lian's team they did the same.After Gia and her team had got the key after completing the ten cards and they went to level 3 the amazing race. They went to station one and they gave them the task to get the piece of puzzle. They had climbed the tallest wall to get their flag."You surely wear dress on this." Miles told Gia. Gia smirked."I did."They went to another station which is station 5 and they had encountered Edmond's team. They are going get to the cave and they also ran to the cave. There's a hard cap with a flashlight on the cap. They wore it and they entered the cave. Gia's waterloo is dark so the twin had held her hands until they get inside. There are a few lanterns that lighten the cave bit. They jumped to the stones to the stones and be sure that no one will fall on the water or jumped in the wrong stone or else the stone will sink into the water. If someone had fell on the water the alligators are ready to smack them. But the alligators are just holograms including the snakes, which look real even in the light."Ah!" Victoria screams when she tripped on the stone. Edmond and Alex had holds her hand for her not to fall."I hope you don't get any scratch." Miles told Victoria. He got a long crush on Victoria. "You know that you are my type!" Gia slap his back head."You're not my type, Miles." Victoria said. Gia pulls the twin for them to jump another rock."Concentrate!" Gia told.The twin held her both wrist and Gia stepped one foot on another rock but the twin automatically pulled her before she sink with the stone. After few stones they had reached the marble floor and they looked at the volt at the back of the big stone. The torches on the sides lighten up."Don't move." Gia told the twin before they had ran to the volt. "There are lasers," she said.She moved the flashlight from left to right and they can see clearly that there are lasers. Gia and Victoria grabbed the flour powder and they blow on the lasers and the red lasers shows. Victoria smirked. She is good in gymnastic so she can passed it. She tumbling, bending and careful not to touch the lasers."Gia, can you do it?" Stephen asked. Gia shook her head."I don't know, but I have to try." She said.She is the smallest among their team. So she tied her hair into tight bun and she removed her dress throwing it on Stephen's face, now she is only wearing a beach shorts and bra. Edmond looked away after seeing her like that. She got a sexy curve and round breast and she is almost perfect. Victoria is now on the middle and she is just about to start. She studied the lasers and where she can enter.

Victoria said and she pushed the button on the right side for her team to walk without passing the lasers. Gia did the same on the left side for her team.
