Meanwhile, in their bedroom, Caleb and Karla were lying in their bed, having intercourse. They did that for only forty-five minutes because the party was two hours from ending, and they didn't want their guests to leave without saying goodbye and think they were ignoring them after allowing them to be part of their party.

 

Suddenly, after they took a shower, separately, got dressed, and went back to the party, they found people of their species dancing with human beings! Nevertheless, from the way that non-humans danced with one another, male and female, they learned, the humans, that the non-humans were taken. However, they could mate among their species, so they booked rooms in the nearest and biggest three-star hotels. Humans weren't economically challenged they just didn't think they'd need that much money, thus they were going to a party in a castle. They used the money in their bank accounts to book the hotels.

 

As soon as the human beings left, the music was turned off and the party was over—until Ivy and Christian arrived. The music stayed off, but Haggai made more fresh food. Some people of this species never became tired. They didn't need servants. Was that possible with fifty adults and 1,000 children in each castle? No. They had to hire servants. Haggai placed an ad on the newspaper.

Haggai just had to place an ad on the newspaper. The entire Brady, Bennett, and Ingram families needed servants so they did the same thing. This was just the beginning of the real posh life for these families.

 

One thousand people came to Eternal Love looking to get jobs. Ten thousand more people were needed. They came from all the fifty states. They even brought their youngest kids to make friends with the special children.

 

Meanwhile, the human beings that went to the party uninvited, they were talking about it. "It's hard for me to believe that you've come back, Ivan."

 

"It's hard for me to believe, too," the real Ivan replied, looking around him. "I arrived here so quickly. Just thirty seconds ago I was in South Miami, and now, here I am, in North Miami."

 

"Don't try to figure out how you got here," said Natasha, placing his arms around his neck, and smiling sweetly at him as her lips pulled closer to his. She gave him a kiss on the lips. "What matters is simply that you are here. You came back to me."

 

"Yes, I did," he said, "and I'm here to stay."

 

They sat on the couch together as he held her hands. She replied, "I wouldn't be so sure about that if I were you. I mean, I still love you, and I still want you in my life, but we can't be together. I don't know if your mother still opposes to our relationship, but if she did, and if she said that we couldn't be together, right now, she'd be absolutely right."
