After training, they went to shower in one guest's rooms. Adele was playing on her phone while waiting for Bella to finish. They heard knocks on the door. Dean wanted to talk with them, so he was invited inside.

"Bella, I don't want to pressure you about telling my family, but I think it would be better if you could tell them a little early?" Bella looked at him curiously.

"We saw that the villa is undergoing changes, did you tell them already?" Adelle asked.

" I did, but without proof, I know some of them are still skeptical. It's really shameful of me to ask because they're my family and I'm putting you in danger, but the earlier I can convince them, the more we can prepare."

Bella thought. She also wanted to tell Grandpa Tang about it, so they could move his greenhouse inside the space. She remembers that the other day, Adelle brought with her the ginseng that was grown from her space.

There are herbs that need a special environment for them to grow, so he was really dumbfounded that it grew inside a normal vase and it was 5,000 years old! He never heard of such a method, so he was curious about how it was grown. The more ginseng is aged, the more it's effectiveness.

Adelle couldn't tell him for now. But they can't ignore the endless possibility it could bring if they produced the medicines in space. Also, the more species of plants she could save, the better.

Bella closed her eyes. Dean was nervously waiting for her reply. Actually, there's another reason why he's trying to convince her, but he can't tell her without his grandfather's approval. He's been trying to convince him these past few days, but he's so stubborn. So he decided to ask Bella. It's also for her benefit, so he's really eager to know her opinion. After a while, she opened her eyes.

"Are they all here?"

"Aside from Drake, yes, even the teens are present. But I think it's better to keep it from them for now."

Bella smiled brightly, "Okay, I agree." Adelle and Dean sighed in relief. Bella chuckled.

They all went to the dining room. Everybody greeted them and they started eating. After dinner, Dean invited the adults in the study room. Butler Bo brought a tray of empty glasses. He placed it on the table, then he exited the room.

" I called the meeting to tell you something very important…." Dean started with the story. Grandpa, Grandma, and his parents were not surprised since they already knew. But it stunned others, curious and doubtful.

"How sure are you that it will happen?" Devyn asked curiously. Dean looked at Bella and she nodded. Dean pointed at the glasses in front of them. The empty glasses on the table are now slowly filled with water! Everybody was speechless! All of them had eyes wide open, the white part of their eyes were visible. Adelle wanted to laugh, but she covered her mouth.

Devyn was pointing at the glasses with his mouth opening and closing, but nothing's coming out. He looked at his parents beside him. They were no better. His father stood up and started to walk in circles inside the room, peeking at the glasses while murmuring something. Aurora still held her chest, was so shocked. She looked at her son, questioning what happened.

"Please drink them, don't worry they're safe."

"Is it the same liquid you gave me?" asked the excited Aunt Deborah.

"Yes."

One by one, they drank the glasses of water. Maybe because of shock, nothing remained, not even a drop.

"Everybody, please find a place to sit down." They usually hold family meetings in the study room, so there are three long sofas placed in a "U" shape to accommodate more people. A long table at the right with chairs and a mahogany table near the window where Grandpa Tang usually sits. Tonight Dean, Adelle, and Bella are in front of Grandpa's table facing them. He pointed at the sofa, so everybody obeyed. Dean went to check if the room was locked and went beside Bella.

He looked at Bella who's beside him, leaning on Adelle with her eyes closed. He seemed like he was waiting for her, so everybody looked at her.

Bella opened her eyes, looked at the room.

Seeing everybody's properly seated, she smiled then. "Poof!"

"AAHHHHH!" Shouted Devyn, and he fainted. Others were also shocked and held on to anything beside them. Dean's parents and grandparents held on to each other. After calming, everybody looked around without leaving the sofa. They're amazed and bewildered.

"This is my personal space and everything he has told you will happen," Bella observed them and she sighed of relief when she didn't see any disgusting reactions.

"Bella Darling, are you okay? Does it have side effects?" Aurora asked worriedly.

"No, it doesn't have side effects." Bella felt warm.

"Dear, please do not expose this to others." Aunt Deborah said with a stern voice.

Bella was teary, " I won't, I treat you like my family and I also need your help."

Deborah and Aurora went to embrace Bella. She embraced them back.

" I'm sorry, I can't bring everybody here, so I need a safe place where the people I chose, other than my family and friends, can take refuge without exposing this space."

"Dean, you can show them." Grandpa said while trembling. Grandma held his hand, and he calmed down.

Dean sighed with relief. He took time to observe the place. The palette floor seemed wider, so the sofas are safely on top. Bella added more palette floor where she can place more things. Beside them is a separate living area , a small kitchen with tables and chairs and a divider separating the view of the king-size bed. At the back, further from where they are, there's a small pathway to a bamboo encasement meant for the shower, changing room and toilet.

Before she slept the other day, she dug two large holes at the back. Where she placed two huge metal containers. She placed tubes that are connected to the shower room and the improvised kitchen. The deeper hole is for human waste where she can collect and use as fertilizers in the future. She's not a professional plumber, so she watched DIY videos on the net because she doesn't want to contaminate the river.

Although they rarely stay for long, she made sure if anybody remains inside, they could stay comfortable for days.

Aunt Mia went near the waterfalls together with Aurora and Deborah. Bella led everybody near the river. Aside from Devyn who was still on the sofa, she informs everybody that she'll transport them on the other side of the river. She held Dean's grandparents' hands as support and brought them all to the other side.

Grandpa Tang and Grandma Dy slowly explore the space. The others went to feed the chickens. His Uncle Desmond and Liam explored for a while, then Dean explained to them about the bridge he planned to make. His Uncle was glad to help, so they asked for a measuring tape, paper and pen from Bella.

It surprised Bella when they soaked in the river to measure the depth of the river. Her heart felt warm seeing how they accepted everything. The space became lively. She suddenly remembers her parents, hoping they're doing fine.

When the uncles emerged from the river, Bella took the water from their clothes, drying them in the process. They were amazed and curious if she could do it outside. Bella shook her head, she could only sense the water from the river. They were not disappointed, thanked her, and continued scribbling on the notes.

"BANG!" Everybody looked where the sound came from. They saw poor Devyn holding his head on the east side of the river. Bella chuckled and transported him near her. He looked at her confused, so he let Dean explain. In his eyes, she saw shock, admiration, and curiosity. He explored after Bella gave her a glass of water. She smiled happily and Dean held her hands. Devyn was like a curious child asking her so many questions. Bella patiently answered him.

"Bella dear, Dean also told us about the houses you bought, can you give us too?" Grandma Dy said pleadingly. Bella chuckled.

"Of course Grandma, I can't move anything attached to the soil. I really plan to build a Villa inside, but it needs people and time to construct it, so I ordered those moveable houses as a solution."

"Isabella, are you talking about those houses on lakes?" asked Uncle Liam.

Bella seemed confused, so he explained. He also works at Zhang's company, but his job is to travel to the branches outside the country when needed. So he saw many models and designs of houses in different countries.

One place he went to is a town near the lake in Arti country. The two-story houses float on the water safely. The materials are made from a combination of wood and metal. It's self-sufficient and environmentally friendly. He also knows about the houses she ordered, but those floating houses are much bigger. He saved pictures on his phone so he showed it to Bella. She's so excited! It's much bigger, and it looks comfortable to live in. Uncle Liam volunteered to order the houses she liked. She also told him to order for her Uncle Belden and for everybody, so he's elated to know they're welcome to live inside her space.

Exposing the space to others is dangerous, so Grandpa and Granny also looked at the pictures. They really don't mind living in a smaller house. They also asked Bella if they could store their treasures inside, like Grandpa Tang's antique collection. Bella agreed and promised to give every family a storage place.

The houses will take months to build, and by the time they're finished, she needs to go there and collect them. The mobile houses can still be used if they plan to travel outside, so she's not worried. Storing them is no biggy, why not? She could expose her space ability since it's a common skill, but will not reveal its ability to transport people inside.

After a while, she called everybody. "Poof!"
