Andromeda is sitting in the dark of her study room as she stared at nowhere. What a bad bitch to stain Mondragon's name. Yup, she just found out something terrible that Kathleen is doing. She's dealing with the drug lords since all her business failed to go up without Mondragon's assistance.

She turned her swivel chair and put her feet over the table. She tsk and looked up the ceiling.

​​

"Kathleen, are you also crazy about my husband's sexiness and wealth? Well, too bad for you, he will never be yours."

A knock on the door makes her stop from overthinking and Zach came with a tray of fruits. He sighed and put it on the coffee table. Andy put her feet down and strode to him. She sat on his lap and started kissing his face nonstop. Zach loved how childish she became.

"Are you done?" he asked when she stopped.

"Yeah." She smiled brightly. She was about to reach one of the bowls when he pinned her down on the sofa and start kissing her face and neck. He also ripped her shirt and sucked her nipples. She gasped and hold on his head.

After that hot lovemaking inside her study room, they enjoy the fresh fruits while watching cartoons. Andy wasn't focused on the cartoons but why would Kathleen do such things? How long is she doing this? How can she do this to their family?

Well, anyway, her grandpa would announce Moira as one of the heiresses in their empire. But she better be safe than sorry so, her grandpa is keeping her as a reserve if anything happened to her. Kathleen will never be the heiress because her grandpa probably knew how Paula, her mother make lots of twists just to get into their family.

"I'm off to Madagascar this week." She told him.

"Okay. I'll settle everything for you." He kissed her top head lovingly. "How about Fox?"

"Yeah, he's with me."

"Who else?"

"Moira." She snuggled on him.

"Hmm. I'll prepare anything you all need for this adventure. But promise me, you'll be safe."

She looked up at him.

"I promise, hubby-dubby."

"That's not a good nickname." He chuckled. She giggled and played her fingers on his nipples.

"What? It rhymes."

All Zach could do was laugh with whatever she's saying. Well, his wife has a good sense of humor and she's childlike which he loved about her. Lots of things are in his head. Madagascar. It's a dangerous place and he doesn't want her to just stop her from doing her duties. He loved her dearly that he could just lock her in their house so she won't get hurt outside, but he can't do that. His wife has her freedom. Sure, she can protect herself, but it was his duty to protect her and he failed once and big.

Her old phone chimes and he took it and to check since she doesn't care if he checked notifications except for highly confidential messages.

"Why is Allona sending you photos?"

"For fun." She said casually. "Don't ever fuck her, okay love?"

"Not gonna happen. I'll fuck you." He kissed her cheek hard. "Stop being so dumb. Okay?"

"Okay." She answered casually. Then she thought for a while. He did just called her dumb. "You just call me dumb." She looked up at him.

"Yeah. You are dumb." He kissed her temple. "I am dumb as well. And no matter how dumb you are, I still love you with all of my life. Be quiet, okay? I am enjoying this cartoon."

"Hmm." She hugged him. "Zach,"

"Yes, love?"

"If I lied to you… you said that you would still love me."

"Yeah."

"That's serious?" She asked so suddenly.

"Yes. I would still love you. I don't seem to feel like loving someone else but you. Even though we've been apart for long… you are the only woman that can fill my emptiness."

"Okay." She smiled and suddenly felt like a thorn has been pulled from her chest. "I feel the same."

Zach felt anxious whenever she would ask about her lying. What did she lie about? Well, whatever it was, he will accept it. He loved her and lying might be a secret that she couldn't endure so she lied about it. It's okay. But still, he wasn't so sure if he could accept it so easily. However, he's her husband and he must accept it no matter what lie it is.

Fox had fallen asleep on the sofa while sitting as he got drawn into a deep dream that seemed to feel like he's in the movie. It's a fast forward as they had entered the cave. There are lots of gunshots and shouting.

There's Andromeda's voice talking to someone in a very fierce way. He looked around and Moira wasn't anywhere. Where is she? And he saw that Andromeda has been hunting by Yves's men.

"Andromeda!" He shouted and ran after her to protect her.

She's holding the scroll. She had it. However, she's at the dead-end of the jungle. The tallest fast and she couldn't escape. Yves is laughing so hard as he pointed the gun to her. Fox lifted his gun and pointed it at Andromeda.

Andromeda looked at him and he saw a red laser dot on her forehead.

"Fin. Now." She mouthed. He closed his eyes with a pained heart as he shot her. When he opened his eyes, she fell without screaming.

"Get the fucking scroll! I don't care if she's dead or not!" Yves shouted.

"She can't survive in that height, sir." One of his men told.

Fox looked down at his shaking hand holding the gun. Did he kill her?

He sat up with gasped and hold his palpating chest. He looked down at his shaking hand and nearly screamed in frustration. It's not right. He's not going to kill his boss. His boss is like a sister to him. He can't. It shouldn't happen. He must do something about it. But how?

Alanis picked up the phone call from a very important person. He suddenly froze and stared at nowhere from what she said. He put down his phone and turned his swivel chair. He exhaled and then he called his lawyer and his assistant.

He must finish this crisis right now. It's now or never and he will not let Yves win in every way. He strode out from his office toward the conference room where they had gathered. They have their own laptops and he started giving them instructions on how to pull this bastard down.

Moira is waiting for him and he doesn't want her to wait any longer. His heart couldn't take the pain of being away from her.

"We are not going to leave this room until we finished it." He said and he sat down on his throne and face his computer. He put his eyeglasses on and started working.

Andy is cleaning her favorite guns and also thinking at the same time. It's her stress reliever and she can think clearly and precisely with the plans. Once that she finished the five of them, she carefully put it back on the briefcase.

She put it on her vault and then left her office. She went to the conference room and Cornel Lucas salute on her. She nodded her head and face the Commanders, standing in a very snappy way and saluting on her.

She sat down and they put down their hand at the same time and sat down. She exhales and crossed her legs.

"Well, as you all heard. Someone is betraying me in my own empire. And you all know how kind I am to welcome them in my empire and accept them with open arms." She said in a very kind way but it's all an irony. "However, it's fine. I won't be able to fire back." She smiled.

"All of you here as an eye on my throne. It's fine. Just don't do anything bad in my office. Okay? Now, our topic is on how to execute these traitors." She said carefully.

Then she showed in the presentation how she tortured the man who killed the sniper that Ivanov Assassin had captured through her husband's request.

"I don't execute easily. Because, a person told me once, what's the fun in killing someone without torture?" She smiled in a very charming way like she's talking casually with friends.
