Chapter 21 - (Unedited) Action Part 1
Zachary was insisting on checking her whole body. Stripping her clothes and she was like a dummy doll on the bed while he's observing her like a science item. She watch him check her if she got bruises and he found nothing. Then he sat down beside her and gently cover her body with his.
"Stop it. We aren't going to have sex!" She pushes him and reach the robe that he prepared. He move away and sat still beside her. "That's not going to ever happen." She added and about to leave the bed. But he hold her hand. ??
"You still hate me?" He asked.
"I hate you. But I hate myself more."
"Andy, look. Let's talk about—"
"No. We can't talk about it. I don't want to hear it. Let's just do what our grandfathers had decided and that's it. Don't expect too much from me." She said monotonously.
Zach pull back his hand and let her leave the bed. He looked around his messy room. The bullet marks, knife… he call the maids to clean it up. He must fix his life now. First, he must fix the house hold. He will install more cameras and increase security.
Andromeda almost got killed many times. First the Carbonara and now, the attack while she's napping. He don't want to leave her even when she's sleeping. Who knows when they will attack again?
The bed was newly made with new covers. He take a shower on the other room so he could cuddle her. Andromeda came out from his walk-in closet. She's wearing the adorable pair of pajamas that he owns. She glance at him and reach the pillow.
She turn off the lights and leave the lamp shade beside him. She yawns and strode to the sofa leaving him. She dropped her body there and cuddle with the pillow. She fall asleep in just few second. Zach glance at the space beside him.
Back then, it wasn't like that. Although they have fights, they always end up making love. So passionate and so wild. He missed those moment. He had decided. He will make this work.
He slipped off from bed and reach her, carrying her back to bed and he wrapped him into his arms like he always do.
"Andy, please forgive me." He mutter.
***
Andromeda enters EPUA.
Last, she must call her cousin Sabrina about how to undo or to make the assassin back to her consciousness so they could torture her. Sabrina send her a video on how to do it. With Andel as an example. Andel almost peed on his pants because he knows how deadly it was. Her cousin is just good at tai-chi. She's more of combat and marksman.
Her phone started ringing that makes everyone looked at her. She frown and answer it.
"What?" she asked with creased brows.
"Where are you?" Zachary asked.
"Why do you care?"
"I texted you more than twenty messages and you didn't reply. You always leave without a body guard. How can I make sure that you are safe?"
"Are you my dad? Or perhaps my grandpa?"
"I am neither. I am your fiancé—"
"Fiancé as an arrangement. Please, you don't have to work that much to protect me. I don't need protection."
"Andy…" His voice soften. Andromeda hang up and face Sabrina.
"Hey, sorry about that. It's just some stranger, now let's go torture this girl." She said excitedly and Sabrina scoff. She didn't say anything as usual since she don't really talk.
They start torturing the woman for her to say who sent her but she's not blurting out anything. Andromeda has a lot on her mind, and she can just choose or maybe accuse all those people who wanted her head.
Sabrina patted Andromeda's top head.
"Okay, okay. I know. I should've put a golden crown on my head with 24 karats diamonds around it." Andromeda murmured.
They watch as the woman has been beaten up with one of their female executioners.
"This woman get into the house--guest what house. Zachary's. Can you believe it? How can they just hire someone like that. Zach's has don't have a proper securities. Their securities is from a low agency. Like a normal one. For God's sake. My grandfather was in military and even Elder Pattinson. I am so, so frustrated with Zach."
????Sabrina exhales and let her talk while she is talking and talking and talking and at the same time complaining about Zachary's house. Andromeda found that Sabrina is laughing at her. Because of her frustration--she couldn't help but to laugh as well.
????Sabrina type on her tablet.
"What kind of asshole is Zach?" Sabrina asked.
"Well, he's an asshole. He don't know about security and other stuffs but to work out his muscles and attract women. Oh my, I swear to you. We never hire body guards at all. He don't know about security and he just work for business. I just wished that I married Gabriel than him."
????Sabrina frown and type on her keyboard.
"Gabriel is mine."
????Andromeda started laughing and hands up.
"I am just fucking with you!" Andy exhales and thought about Zach.
????Zach was a good man. He wasn't perfect. He might not as powerful as Gabriel Lawson (Sabrina's Husband) Or good at handling securities. But the way he cared for her, spoil her and make sure that she met the right nutrition she needed everyday was enough for her. She love him and her mentality is low, not as strong as Sabrina but the two of them are perfectly not identical.
"Sparring?" Sabrina asked lifting her tablet.
"Why won't you just use your damn voice to talk to me. I am so tired of this." She complain. Sabrina lifted her tablet.
"I didn't vocalize well. Besides there are people around."
"Okay let's go sparring." She stood.
????Andromeda and Sabrina went to Sabrina's personal training gym and they started fighting. Sabrina was breathing heavily while Andromeda seemed like didn't break any sweat.
"You done fighting?" She asked her cousin. "You asked for sparring then why are you crawling. Three hours hasn't past yet. It's only been--" she glanced at the timer. "It's only been two hours and twenty minutes. Brina. You have to work on your stamina. How Gabby did take you in bed all night?"
"Damn it." Sabrina muttered and reach a bottle of water.
"Brina, you have to work on that. I trained five hours a day when I was fifteen years old."
"Okay. You beat me up and training for more than five yours doesn't mean that my stamina isn't that strong. Gabby worked me out every night. Even day breaks."
????Andromeda started laughing and Sabrina laugh with her.
"I think we also need Andel to satisfy me with sparring."
"Seriously..." Sabrina shook her head. "Just get laid. Okay? I think that's what you need." Sabrina put a hand over her shoulder.
"I am not mentally strong like you." Andromeda said.
"And I am not physically strong like you." Sabrina squeeze her shoulder. "You can do this, Andy."
"The wedding is in few days." Andromeda sat down and her hands started shaking. "I love him. I don't know how to face him. I killed--" Before Andromeda finish her sentence she break down.
