We sat there in complete silence until the boys woke up, making the room loud again. Lily would continuously keep an eye on Anthony and me, like a mother hawk watching over her daughter and her boyfriend.

When we got out of the jet, I stretched my body, listening to my ear popping. That's one reason I'm not too fond of airplanes; my ears always pop.

Examining our surroundings, it was empty until several cars rolled up. The boys refuse to detach from Lily and me, so Anthony calls for a limo.

Rolling the window down, we look outside to see Italy.

One word to describe Italy: Exquisite.

The buildings surrounding us were incredibly breathtaking; with histories engraved on its wall. The people were smiling at one another, laughing, granting little kisses on the cheeks. The surrounding atmosphere was completely different from back home. Here, it was more elegant and soft.

"Like it?" Anthony asks.

Glancing over, the boys and Lily had their heads shoved out the window, staring at everything that passed by them in complete awestruck.

"It's okay," I mumble, feeling a smile surfacing.

Slowly, the buildings surrounding us faded out; fewer people were seen. My head hit the car window, and I saw the ocean. We rolled up to a giant black gate with the giant letter M, causing my head to tilt in wonder.

Passing by numerous trees, I realized there were many men in classy black suits and shades. Lily and I exchange looks of confusion as well as a shrug. We pull up to a giant older-style mansion. Examining the surroundings, a small garden, kept very clean in the center along with a fountain with a naked child with wings.

The mansion is large, and it would take days to explore. Violent flowers embedded themselves comfortably on the side as well and the classy detailed design frames itself elegantly. I can see some balconies poking out of the mansion, surrounded by flowers.

Without a doubt, Anthony is a man with style and class.

Lily pinched my side, snapping me out of my trance. "Your husband is fucking loaded. Should we plan to-" She made a slashing noise and made a cutting motion with her palm. "You know, after he put you as the sole owner of his wealth in his will."

I smacked her head, then looked at Anthony, who slid out of the limo. The boys jump out, and we follow behind them. A bunch of men wearing black suits and women in matching clothing approach us. The men were dressed very stylishly like they were going to some important event. The women wore a skirt, passing their knees along with a white top covering up everything. They made a proper line and bowed down at a perfect 45-degree angle.

"This is our new home?" David screamed and ran towards the mansion before we could say anything. Instantly, Bruce and Kevin ran in after him, followed by Lily.

Clark stands by Anthony, who looks down and lifts a brow at him. He tugs Anthony's pants, "Umm big bwother, can you cawy me?"

Anthony did something I did not expect; he picked up Clark. I thought he was going to kick him and tell him to be a man.

They walk inside, and I grab my strap bag to follow them. I can hear the boy's screams echoing throughout the house and Lily's frantic shouts for them to be quiet. Everything seems expensive, from the paintings on the wall, which look interesting, to the furniture. The ceiling is too high up, and I can barely see the bright chandelier hanging.

"Anthony, can you watch Clark? I need to help Lily. You will? Great! Thanks!" I said and quickly ran up the massive stairs before he even had the chance to respond.

Peeking back, a few men and women came to greet Anthony, eyes curiously looking at Clark, who had his arms wrapped around him. Heading into a room, my mouth gap opened as Lily released a gasp. Using our hands, we cover the boys' eyes. Instantly a guy ran towards the TV and covered it.

"What are those?" David asked, pointing at the TV, despite having his eyes closed.

Lily and I glance at each other, "Those are jellyfish."

"Like the Discovery Channel?" David asks.

"Exactly!" we said at the same time.

"Who are you all and what are you doing in here?" 

Everyone instantly narrows their eyes at us.

"We are-" The moans cut me off.

"Oh, goodness, gracious! There are children here! Turn it off!" Lily shrieked.

Everyone looks at the guy blocking the TV. and his eyes widen as he grabs the remote to turn it off.

But instead, he turns it louder.

"What's that noise-" Anthony stopped and released a deep frustrating breath when he saw everyone. He has Clark in his arms, and he covers Clark's eyes with his free hand. They all stand up in a straight line in front of him and bow down. "How many times do I have to tell you all, that this studio is not used for this?"

The young guy tries to turn off the TV with his shaky hand but turns it up even more.

"What's that noise?" Clark asks.

Bruce, David, and Kevin struggle out of Lily and my arms, running straight towards the TV.

"Oh, no boys don-"

Kevin points at the screen, "Those aren't jellyfish."
