Andromeda's job is done in Manhattan. She followed Ivana Lebedov and she sent a letter to her with a seal of a half Dragon and half Phoenix. Then she called Adrian and inform him about what Ivana did and she deserves the two shots from Freya's man.

She went back to the site where the bloodbath happened. She took the two bullets. One has the Eagle emblem carved on it and the other bullet is from her. She put it in her pocket as she left.

Steven checked it all and it was all positive. His heart is thumping, and he immediately went back to the bed with a strip on his hand. He pulled the duvet. She moaned and turned to him. He reached her waist and then he caressed down her stomach. He sat beside her and kissed her temple. He put the strip over the side table, and he caressed her back.

She opened her eyes and she looked at him as she adjusted her eyesight.

"Are you hungry?" He asked and covered the duvet to her.

"Yeah." She murmured.

"What do you want to eat?" He caressed her hair. She thought for a while.

"A normal breakfast."

"Okay." He kissed her temple and then he picked his boxer shorts and he went to the kitchen. He checked the fridge and there are eggs and bacon. The fridge doesn't have a lot of ingredients for his cooking.

He then checked the cabinet and found a bag of rice. He went on the corner where the rice cooker is located. He washed the rice first and then get it ready on the rice cooker. He took out the pan and then started with the egg.

Freya walked toward him and hugged him from behind. He reached her hand and kissed it. He continued cooking and then he placed the sunny side up over the towel tissue the same with bacon so the oil will sink in.

He made a strawberry smoothie with milk. He spoils her like before. She ate a lot of breakfast and he watched her eat. She doesn't seem to notice that he learned something. He fed her more until she's full. She stands and helped him wash the dishes though he insisted on washing it.

Once that they are relaxing on the couch and watching television while cuddling. He reached her stomach and rubbed it. He kissed her temple and hugged her tightly.

"Let's go to the hospital." He murmured.

"What?"

"Let's check the baby."

She looked down at his hand, holding her navel. Then she looked at him. He's sincere and he still loves her despite leaving her.

"I won't go anywhere from now on. I will always be with you, to protect you and our baby."

"Okay." She snuggled to him. "But before that," She straddled him. "I want you." She started with his lips, sucking and tasting every corner of his mouth. She removed the shirt that she's wearing. He scooped her ass and pull her up so he could devour her breasts.

"I missed you so much." He took one of the perky nipples to his mouth and sucked it. He hummed and watched her gaped.

They stopped when the ding-dong bell rang. She groaned and told him to continue. The ding-dong bell kept on ringing. She grunted and reached her shirt and put it on. She stormed to the monitor and checked the person. She exhaled and then finally opened the door.

"Hey I got—"

"I already had breakfast. Please tell me that it's not Chinese again." She said.

"No, it's Mexican this time."

She let him in, and he probably found Steven on the couch with a hard boner. She exhaled frustratingly and told Wren to wait there. Steven stood from his seat and then he carried her to her room.

"Wait there, Wren," Steven said and then he closed the door behind him. He grinned at her and take her to bed.

"Quick, I want you badly." She murmured.

Andy went to Zachary's hotel room in New York. She knocked on the door and he opened it shortly. She greeted him with a big kiss and hug then he carried her inside. He locked the door and then he put her down on the bed.

"How's your trip?"

"It's good." She grinned at him.

"Do you want to go shopping?" He kissed her forehead and just stay on top of him.

"Hmm—shopping isn't a good idea."

"Why?"

"Well, I think Lebedov will send lots of assassins around to kill me."

"You have your men around you." He kissed her nose. "Let's go shopping. I want you to spend my money. You are too busy with lots of things."

"Okay." She started unbuttoning his shirt. "But first, you have to please your wife in bed. Then she will walk bowlegged around the boutique to find very expensive shoes and a dress for tonight's dinner."

He chuckled and started peeling her clothes off her.

"I prepare a bath with roses."

After their lovemaking, Zachary promised her to do it all night after their romantic dinner in New York. She wore the pretty dress that he prepared for her and sexy panties. He lifted a small remote and grinned at her.

"What's that?" She asked as she checked her purse. He clicked the remote and she gasped as she closed her legs and sat down on the carpet. "Zach!" She squealed at him. She moaned and bit her lip. "What the hell?!" She scolded him as he adjusts the volume on the remote.

It vibrates directly to the very sensitive button. She moaned and keep sitting there with fold legs as she squirmed and reached her orgasm. Zach laughed at her and turned off the vibrator. She exhaled and lay down on the floor. He pulled her up and kissed her lips.

"Come on, we got lots of store to roamed around to."

"You just drained me!" She scolded him. He carried her out the suite until to the elevator.

"I won't tease you." He murmured but still, he's grinning. Damn, he's playing on her.

Ivana winced from the gunshot on her arm and leg. Fuck that Freya. If she only knew that she owns an army and she's a Phoenix for fucking sake. She doesn't just wear a Dragon Emblem but a Phoenix! She's still in the hospital and Adrian flew from the Philippines to Manhattan just to check on her.

His eyes are murderous but not toward the people who did nearly kill her but he's mad at her.

"I told you not to touch the girl! First, you tried to kill Alanis's fiancée now her?!" He scolded her.

"She's not what you think! She's a Phoenix!" She shouted at him.

"What?" His brow creased.

"I thought that I could kill her. But behind the Dragon necklace that she's wearing is a Phoenix. The one that father told us about."

Adrian is quiet and then he laughed. He took the letter from the table and it's Andromeda's penmanship. He glared at her and still the pain that she received is worth it. Because he somehow met a real Phoenix? And where are others, are they still hiding in the family of Mondragon? He exhaled and took the letter.

"Make sure not to let her do anything stupid again. If you did, let her die." He said coldly to her bodyguards. She gritted her teeth.

"I want Freya's head. I'll have it." She said strongly. Adrian glared at her.

"You can't even have Moira's head. She nearly slashed your neck. How dare you ask for Freya's head?"

She grunted and showed him what Freya did to her.

"She nearly got me killed. Have you no consideration for me?"

"Do whatever you want then, kill her if you can. But don't expect me to back you up."

Adrian left with an amused smile and at the same time a very annoyed one. What else? Who else? How did the Dragon Empire become an ally of the Phoenix? He needs to find out who else they are hiding.

He stopped from his track and thought about Selina. He exhaled. Then he thought about Agatha. He laughed and shook his head. Impossible. The guy that is promised to Selina is a Phoenix? He will be damned if Agatha is also promised to a Phoenix. He needed to find out.

Dmitri put an earpiece on his ear as he listened to the discussion behind their conference call. Freya showed up. He predicted it and now Freya is living with Steven and he's happy about it. He's been planning it for weeks and his army is ready. He's also ready to show to everyone that he's a Phoenix. But he needed to keep Fin to be in a low profile.

"Hon, why do you have to move out?" She asked with a pouty lip. She crawled over his lap and snuggled to him like a kitty. He put a hand over her lips and then he kissed it lightly.

"Settle it this week." He muttered. He hung up and hugged her.

"Do you like the city?" he asked.

"I do because Percy is here."

"Well, darling. I think I need to secure you and our baby. But I will be with you. I will be working behind."

"Okay. Can we eat in one of your restaurant one last time?"

"Sure, I'll settle it."
