"Daddy are you excited to go home?" Luna asked. Today, Zues will finally come back to the mansion after a week of staying in the hospital. His excitement to be with his children at the de Luca mansion couldn't contain as his smile never falter specially seeing his Luna staring at him with so much adoration expressing on her eyes.

"Yes baby, so much that I want to squeeze that chubby cheeks of your." He told her before literally do what he said. Luna giggles at his father's actions that she couldn't stop herself to kiss his chin.

"Daddy what about Jade? Is she going to live with his brother or with us?" She asked in serious tone. Zues stared at her before he left out a deep sigh.

You heard it right, Gerard and Delilah were indeed siblings after they took the DNA test. The scene was quite emotional as Gerard couldn't believe that he finally found his sister after 18 years. Delilah cried so much, because she never thought that she has someone that she can consider as family. Her master—— Jack told her that she had nothing, that even she died no one will look for her. But everything he said was wrong. Gerard looked for her and never give up even there's a 0% possibility that they will gonna see each other again.

🌙Flashback🌙

"Delilah I want you to know that I never lose hope that one day we'll gonna see each other again. And I am so sorry if I let you to be taken away by Mary. I was 10 and our father was sick, and she tricked me saying that she will just bring you at the park but the witch came back without you and said that she sold you for money. If only I'm strong enough that time. But I promise you now that no one will gonna hurt you again. I love you so much Delilah." Gerard said with so much tears flowing down to his cheeks.

"It's okay. It's not your fault. You're just a kid and you can't do anything that time and I really understand you. And thank you for not giving up on me." She replied before they hugged each other. And promise that they will never be separated again.

🌙End of flashback🌙

"I think Delilah would be better to be with his brother. I know you like her so much, and you're not alone as I treat her as my own, but she has her brother now that also crave for her love, like all your brothers felt for you. Anyway she's coming to our home everyday, why? Because she will be homeschooled too then if she passed her classes she might go to the same college that the twins are attending to." Zues explain to her daughter who's listening to him intently.

"Oh! that's great, it means we can see each other and can play everyday. Yes!" She squealed and give her father a killer hug. Soon, Ares and Diony came inside to ask if they are ready to go.

"Yes Ari, me and Daddy are ready." Luna replied cheerfully that made all the grown up men to laugh at her energy and enthusiasm.


"Alright Little one, which one do you prefer? The pink or the blue one?" Apollo asked while showing to Luna the two swimsuits that they bought last time at the mall. They will having a pool party today since their father was fine to get up from his bed. Luna placed her fingers on her chin while looking at the swimsuits until she points her finger to the blue one.

"That one Poly." She answered with smile.

"Nice choice baby." Apollo replied with smile too before he told her to wear it on. After few minutes, Luna was ready to swim but not before she asks Apollo about something.

"Where's my Daddy Poly?"

"Little one he's my Father too, don't be so selfish." He said before giving her nose a boop. Luna giggles and corrected herself.

"I'm sorry Poly, where is our Daddy?" She asks again.

"I think he's just taking his medicine but I am sure that he's coming to see you." Luna beams upon hearing that her father will gonna watch her. Inside her mind, she's gonna show him how good she is in swimming and planning to show him all the techniques Eros taught her. Smile appeared at her face because she knows that he will be so proud of her.

"I know what you're thinking so what are waiting for? Let's go?" Apollo ushered her towards the pool room because he cannot carry her right now as he is holding her big daughnut floaty.

At the pool area, Hades and Eros were already setting up everything; the food, the drinks even the cooked barbeque and hotdogs that they requested to Mr. Hugo. Luna jumps up and down in happiness when she saw them and run as fast as she could to be in Hades's arms.

"Oh, did you miss me that much my Selene?" Hades ask before kissing her lovely cheek.

"Yes! I thought you will not come because I've heard you have a hungover—- what does hungover mean?" She asked innocently. Hades's eyes widened in astonishment.

"And who told you that Selene?"

"Uh ah—— snitches get stitches." Luna states. Hades can't believe on her reply for that he started to tickle her but Eros came to her defense and took her from him. And the chasing starts around the pool until Hades caught them.

"We have to wait for father before we jump on the pool you id—-, I mean idol." Eros told Hades when he's about to jump at the pool together with them.

"And where is that old man!" Hades replied nonchalantly, unbeknownst to him Zues came in with Apollo pushing his wheelchair.

"You're old man is here young man." Zues said impassively. Hades was stunned and pretending that he didn't hear his father said those words and instead hide at the back of Eros and Luna.

"And give me your gadgets as part of your punishment for coming so late and drunk last night. I may not able to walk but I think I'm very much capable to monitor all my children." Zues states in dead tone, Hades on the other hand came out from hiding and grabbed his phone on the table and hand it over to his humorless father.

Zues couldn't help but smirk at his son and told him to be responsible drinker next time, that it's okay to drink but moderately, for which Hades understood and said that it won't happen again.

After that, Eros and Luna approach their father and told him that they are so excited to swim.

"Me too baby, just be careful okay? And don't go at the deep part of the pool." Zues warned her.

"I will Daddy and watch me." She said energetically before she coaxed Eros and The twins to jump at the pool. Water splashes at the surface when all of them jump altogether causing Zues to smile happily.

Soon, Luna wanted to show off her skills to her father.

"Daddy! Daddy! Look how fast I am to swim fast from here to there!" Luna squealed to her father who has eyes on her, afraid that she might never go up once she swims under the water, though all of his sons are gazing on her too.

"Yes yes darling but please be careful." He replied softly eventhough he's about to pass out when he saw his daughter jump on the water. He is so worried because what if his daughter never came out from the water.

The twins and Eros glance at their father and when they saw his face, the three of them chuckles and told their father to relax.

"Dad we trained her so you don't have to worry so much. She's fast learner and I made sure that she knew all the swimming techniques." Eros said to Zues who let out a sigh of relief.

"I didn't know that, nobody informed me that she knew how to swim." Zues explained, that all of the sudden someone tap his shoulder.

"Daddy, I've calling you for few times. And you failed to see me how I reached the end." Luna said while pouting her lips. Zues felt so guilty for not being able to watch her.

"I am so sorry Baby, maybe you can do it again? I promise that Daddy will watch you."

"Okay Dad." She replied happily before she swims again at the pool.

Soon, Delilah shows up with a bright smile on her face. She was attending her class for a week now and she was really enjoying it specially if her tutor is Mrs. Hidalgo.

She took a seat beside Zues and both of them claps and cheers to Luna who reaches the end of the pool with smile of victory. Zues and Delilah smile and waves at her, which made her smile more because she wants Delilah to join their swimming.

Luna run to them and invited her to swim, but to Luna's disappointment as she didn't know how to.

"That's sad, but Ari can teach you." She whispered to Delilah that made her blush like a tomato.

"I think that's not possible, he's a busy man Luna, see he's not even here." Delilah replied after she have noticed that Ares and Diony are not present in this pool party.

But she's wrong because Diony and Ares just walk in wearing only a swimming shorts, showing off their 6-pack abs that made Delilah's cheek blush even more than before.

The two latecomers approached their father to say hi before they showered Luna lots of kisses. After Ares gave Luna his love and affection, his eyes turned to Delilah who couldn't look at him specially to his bare chest.

Ares want to smirk because he knew that he has some effect on her but she's Delilah and she's different from any woman that he met for that he took the towel and put it on his shoulder to make her a little comfortable.

"You don't want to swim?" Ares asked her. Delilah look at his eyes for a seconds before she told him the truth. That she doesn't know how to swim.

"It's okay I can teach you, but for now you can use the daughnut floaty." Ares told her but Delilah shook her eyes because she's really afraid and shy. She's also felt so embarassed to show her skin—- that covered with still unhealed bruises.

"Hey, if you're shy about the bruises, you don't have to, there is nothing to be ashamed of because of that." Ares explained. Delilah bite her lower lip and because she really wanted to join the party she nodded her head but pout because she has no swimsuit.

"I don't have swimsuits." Ares smirk and told her that there is new one that he asked Lucy to buy online.

"Just ask Lucy and come back here." Ares instructed before Delilah nods again her head and get out from the pool area to find Lucy.

After that Zues look at his son and ask him to sit down.

"Son, you know how much I love you and reapected you. You're my bestfriend and I owe you a lot for taking good care of your siblings, but right now seeing that you and Delilah have something going on, one thing that I only ask and beg actually—— please don't hurt her, as she had enough of pain and if you just going to hurt her, please don't." Zues told him with glassy eyes. Ares understood his father because he consider her as his own.

"Dad, when I first saw her crying and begging me to listen that you're alive and you need help, she already captured my heart. Noone captured my heart but her even I'd been with so many women and after I found out that she was abused, I realized how important she is to me. I am not pitying her Dad, I admire her so much because even the world was so cruel to her all she thinks about is to help, to help us be together, and I think I will never find any woman like her. And don't worry because I will never hurt her, I promise you that Dad." Ares replied to him. Zues smile at his son because finally his son found someone that will tame him forever.

After few minutes, Delilah walk in wearing huge t-shirt and short. Ares smirk because he knew that underneath that clothes is the swimsuit that he asked Lucy to order for her. What kind? He has no idea because he asked her to buy more sets.

Delilah walk slowly towards them and her cheeks suddenly turned red when she noticed that all eyes were on her.

"Jade—- come let's swim!" Luna squeaked while waving her tiny hand. She's currently on Eros shoulder and trying to chicken fight her brothers; Apollo and Hades. Diony has a pout on his face because he has no partner to be able to join and when he saw Delilah his eyes glint with happiness. He immediately get out of the pool and run towards Delilah and ask her to join him to play chicken fight and to her ignorance because she really has no idea what was that.

"Come on DJ—- just trust me, I won't let you get hurt and it's enjoyable I promise." Diony told her with smile, assuring her that everything he said was true. Soon, Delilah took off her shirt followed by her short, revealing her onepiece bloody red swimsuit. The design is simple yet enougn for Ares to let out a low groan on his chair. His eyes staring at his brothers who were whistling but stop abruptly after he shoots them daggers.

Diony ignored him because though Delilah is extremly gorgeous, he has already boyfriend yet nobody in the family knows about it.

So after he guides Delilah on the pool and ask her to put her legs on his shoulder suddenly all her blood came up to her face.

"Don't worry DJ, I'm a gay and have a boyfriend." He whispered when he saw her hesitatation. Delilah's eyes widened in shock until she speaks in low tone.

"But is it okay with him?"

"Ofcourse unless he founds out, but don't worry I can handle that matter. For now hop in because I'm dying to beat them all, Oh! except my baby sister." Delilah laugh at him for taking back his word against his sister.

Soon, laughing and cheering erupted throughout the pool area because of the chicken fighting specially if Luna ended victorious over them. Well there's nothing to dispute about that because she's their baby sister and her smile and laughing are enough for them to forget anything in the world. Zues couldn't contain his happiness just by watching his children laughing like there's no tomorrow that even he couldn't walk, he feels like he's complete and whole again.

Elsewhere, the news that Zues was alive and living with his children spread like a wildfire that reached even the convicted Violeta.

Yes! She will stay at the prison for a very long time for attempted murder and some charges. She's enraged when she heard her virdict but she can't do anything to change it as it's the fair judgement for all her crimes that she committed.

And because she couldn't accept that, her mind didn't survive and went insane. The de Luca brothers, along with Zues have no choice but to send her to mental institution.

Meanwhile, Jack didn't survive the torture and died to their disappointment because they still want to know where this Martin is hiding. The problem is he's gone, like he disappeared literally after Violeta went to the prison and they captured Jack and his gang. But they cannot afford to be complacent about their security specially for their sister.
