Moira didn't know how to end the night. She was suddenly sober, and she started pushing him. But that handsome face is irresistible, right? She shook the idea, thinking about her promise to her grandfather. She won't get into a relationship because it's dangerous until he told her so. She's twenty-six and never had a boyfriend and never got the first kiss.

Boys who are checking her out got bruises on their faces. Everyone got intimidated by her. She remained alone and focused on the study and go home to train. She's like in an army—getting ready for a war. This discipline is like what her grandfather did to Andromeda.

​​

"Grandpa, why should I be trained?" She asked him when she turned eighteen.

"Your cousin, Andromeda is strong now. She is the heiress of our empire. Someday, everyone wanted to kill her, seeing her as a threat. I want you, to be ready anytime. You and Andy are my heiress." His grandfather was sincere with his words, but did she ever want to be the heiress?

She dragged herself out from the memory. She turned back from Allanis and took her purse. She tried to hold herself from punching him. Men who tried to kiss her got a broken nose.

"I—I don't have a gun," James muttered and suddenly shuddered. She's like Andy.

Alanis, on the other hand, likes the danger coming from her. He pulled out a small box from his coat and took out a beautiful silver wristwatch with real diamonds surrounding it. He took her hand and put it on her wrist without saying anything.

"Just a few more hours and minutes. I'll be waiting,"

***

Alanis left with his bodyguards and Moira just looked at it and then told James that they are leaving.

She's sober as they reached her penthouse. James escorted her and left. Moira turned on the lights and strode to her bedroom. Moira sighed. She took her purse and received a message from Allanis. She never saved his number but unfortunately, the man knows about technologies. She opened and she wished that she never did.

The timer sets for her to decide to go with him. But she doesn't want to. She tried to delete it but nothing happened. She sighed and take a warm shower. She was about to sleep and suddenly remembered the French kiss he gave to her. She doesn't know what to feel at all.

She took her phone again to call Andy and tell her to talk to her friend not to bug her anymore. No one has ever become that obnoxious toward her. The man is practically crazy. A psychopath maybe or just someone who is obsessed.

"Andromeda, what did you do?" She groaned.

Suddenly her phone started ringing. Alanis's name came up. She canceled it and then he called and called and called… She turned off her phone and lay on her bed. Closing her eyes. She had fallen asleep and suddenly, she felt someone in her room. She reached the gun under-heard pillow and pointed it to the silhouette at the edge of the bed, standing straight.

Andy felt like she can't move anymore. She opened her eyes and it's past seven. Zach is smiling at her playfully. She frowned and turned back from him.

"What time is it?" She asked.

"Quarter to eight." He traces a few kisses on her shoulder.

She sat up, still feel tired.

"I prepare a warm bath for us and breakfast."

"Are you supposed to be at work?" She rubbed her eyes and took the water he offered her and sipped on it. Her throat is dry from screaming last night so she needed more water. Zach reached her core and she smacked his hand away.

"Baby…" he pouted at her.

"It ends last night. I am sore." She slid off from the bed and went to the bathroom. He followed her and joined her on their jacuzzi. She leaned on him and kept his hands off from her beauty down there. "Zachary!" She hissed at him. He only giggles and helped her dry herself.

He didn't dress up to the office but to help her bring her things. Zach is worried about being away from her for weeks. He kisses her cheeks. Andy faced him and scoop his cheeks.

"Zach, I will open our marriage. For your sake. If you feel like horny and want to release it to anyone, you can do it. Just one time. I won't get mad. You can date anyone if you are lonely—just for once. You can have intercourse, but you must use protection. Okay?" She said it softly.

Zach frowned. It hurts him when she's like this. He won't cheat on her.

"Andromeda stop talking such things. I am not going to do it. I love you, okay?"

"I—I can't stop you from looking at others. The most important thing for me is that you are happy, and you won't leave me."

"I won't leave you." He said. She just looked at him for a while.

"I'll make sure of that." She turned back from him and reach one of the ponytails and fix her hair.

He watched her with sad eyes. She became like this because of him. He doesn't want her to be this desperate and insecure. He doesn't want her to think that he will cheat on her and it will be okay. It will never be okay.

He escorted her outside to her car and kiss her lips.

"Come back to me. Okay?"

"I will. In two weeks." She reached his cheek, kissed his lips, his nose and she tiptoed to reached her lips to his forehead. He hugged her tightly for a while.

"I'll wait for you. Eat well and don't let yourself get any cut." He pressed his lips when he faced her. He looked at her for a while, holding back not to tie her in bed so she won't leave, ever.

"Zach, be a good boy." She turned back and entered the back seat of her car.

It takes an hour for her to reach the airport. She frowned seeing Alanis waiting outside the car. He kept looking at his phone. Andy scoffed. She already knew what he did. She smacked his back.

"She's not coming. Stop bugging my cousin. Will you?"

"It's super late. I should've picked her up."

"Stupid guy. She's not coming, idiot!" She climbed up Alanis's private jet plane.

They are on their way to Pakistan where her soldiers are and where she will command everything and help people there.

Her grandfather taught her how to be compassionate. So she must be in Pakistan to help the civilians start all over again. Moreover, those terrorists are their priority to finished.

Mondragon doesn't want wars. But they are finishing off those tricky terrorists to avoid a world war. It was exhausting to think. Andy has been avoiding it and advising a few countries regarding this threat. They don't know yet their real enemy but she was certain that Yves Kuznetsov was part of it. What was his goal?

Andy exhales and massaged her forehead. She then glanced at the sulking Alanis. She rolled her eyes. Why does he must assume that Moira would go with him? Her grandfather trained Moira to be the second heiress of the Dragon Empire and told her not to trust anyone, mostly men.

"Stop thinking out loud, Alanis!" She scowled at him.

"Why didn't she want me?" He asked her.

"Don't force yourself to someone who doesn't want you."

"Then why did you force Zach?" He asked. Then he thought for a while. "Did you force Zach?"

"I didn't force him." She snapped at him. "He wanted me. I just get hold of him."

"How can I get her?" He asked. "I want her. Badly."

Andy rolled her eyes.

"What's with your taste? You have this thing toward Mondragon's. First my cousin Sabrina then now, Moira. I wonder why you never get interested in me."

"You are beautiful and got that perfect to die for curves. But you are a dude to me." He sipped on his mojito.

That's an insult.
