Chapter 66 - Possessive Husband Part 1
Kathleen is taken aback from Zach's action. Andrew came and stopped Zach. Zach held to Kathleen tightly that nearly marked his hand to her skin. She winched and Zach let her arm go.
"You okay?" Zach asked Andy. His eyes soften towards her.
??"I'm fine." She said and looked at Moira who was shocked.
"Moira?" Zach called and she's still holding her sting cheek.
"I'm okay," Moira said and she remained calm.
Zach faced Kathleen who's practically shaking from Zach's scary threats.
"She's bullying me!" Kathleen said aloud.
"Don't deny anything, I saw you slapped Moira and my wife. I won't let this go, Kathleen." Zach accused.
"Zach." Andy reached his arm.
"Zach--it's just a little catfight," Andrew said trying to convince him. But Zach's eyes are so scary. Scarier than a demon.
"Don't get in here, Andrew." Zach glowered at Zach. "She didn't only hit Moira but my wife." His voice got a little loud. Kathleen is shivering from Zach's rage.
"What's going on?" Edmond asked who was passing by and notice the commotion. He looked at Moira to Andy and then to his daughter who looked so scared. Kathleen rose his eyes to him begging for his help but he remained calm and walked toward them. "Zachary?" He understood Zach's expression. Something extreme happened that made him look scary.
"Ask your daughter."
Moira is stiffened at the back of Andromeda. Andy exhaled and faced Moira and checked her reddish left cheek. It looked so bad. Kathleen slapped her so hard that it marked Moira's face.
"Kathleen. What did you do?" Edmond asked his daughter. Kathleen bit her lip like she's been wronged. "Did you hit the girl?" He asked in a low dangerous voice.
"I didn't. It was an accident." She started sobbing. Edmond faced Moira and looked into her eyes.
"I apologize, young lady for what my daughter did," Edmond said in a very apologetic way. "Andy…"
"Uncle--It's fine for me… but not Moira." She said and Moira let Andy take her away.
Andy took her to the gazebo and Zach bring an ice bag and gave it to her. She pressed it on her cheek and she winced from the sting. She exhales and it's the first time that she had an eye to eye with her father.
Zach reached Andy's face and pressed another ice bag to her cheek. He sighed and kissed her forehead.
"I am fine," Andy said.
"What happened?" James asked as he put a bottle of champagne on the round marble table, together with flutes.
"Don't ask."
Then James laughed making all of them frown.
"How can the two of you let Kathleen slapped you? Especially you, Andy."
"Being weak into people's eyes means that they didn't see any potential risked that we are a big threat to them." She said. "It's okay to be weak in people's eyes. They will be surprised by how much power we have."

"Dad." Andel who is leaning on the wall greeted his father in a suit. Edmond frowned seeing that messy hairstyle of the man--he knew that it was his son, Andel.
Andel is his first child. His son from his deceased wife, Margareth. He's just twenty-two when he got married to Margareth who was the love of his life but, she died after giving birth to Andel.
"You only show up once every two years?" He asked him. Andel smiled playfully and handed him a box from his suit pocket.
"I showed up every year for your birthday. I blended so nice that I camouflage in the crowd." He grinned.
Edmond opened it and he frowned to see an old necklace. In the middle is a heart-shaped gold pendant and in the very middle of the heart is a real diamond. It's so familiar then he turns the pendant and his eyes dilated. He looked at his son but he's nowhere to be found.
His heart is pounding as he read the carved words on the pendant.
Erin, my love is true. -Ed.
How did his son found this?
Erin is the woman he loved after his mother. Erin is his secretary and they fall in love with each other. She treated Andel like her real son and she attended every meeting in school for Andel and Andel said that he like her to be his mother.
He opened his heart again and they have little romance and fall in love with each other. They break up that only last for three months and he became miserable on those days and slept with different women and he got back to Erin and proposed to her but a woman came in claiming that she's pregnant. It was the woman he's with after their break up. He slept with her using protection but now she said that the condom broke and she's pregnant.
Erin is in a big heartbreak and told him that she loved him but he must take responsibility for the woman. He doesn't want to but when his father knew about it--he told him to choose. His reputation over love. He chose his reputation and thought that his father would be pleased but there's no response from him. He regretted his decision. He kept searching for Erin but--just like a pop of bubbles-- he can't track her.
He tried to call Andel and he answered.
"Where are you?" He asked.
"Somewhere," Andel answered.
"Why do you have this?"
"I was searching for her. But it seems like she already evaporated from the ground."
Edmond stiffened from what he heard. He's been searching for her for years even after he got married. He hadn't slept with his wife on their honeymoon because he was thinking of her. Now--it's too late.
"I want her to be my mom… but you choose someone. I gave it to you because--I want you to know. Happy birthday, dad." Andel hung up.
Edmond's heart is breaking slowly.

Andel saw Andy and Zach making a scene in front of Moira. He rolled his eyes and then turned to the flashing light. He frowned to see a girl taking photos in his direction. He exhaled and move closer to the girl who is busy taking photos around. He was behind her and he patted her head, messing it a little. He snatched her camera.
"Hey!" She exclaimed.
Andel is tall so he lifted it and checked the photos then he admired his photo for a while and clicked his tongue.
"Damn, I'm so handsome here. But sorry darling. This has to go." He deleted it.
She frowned at him and punched his abdominal. Andel wasn't ready for it so he groaned and the little girl grabbed her camera.
"Idiot!" Ellen growled at him. Andel scoffed and stood straight.
"Little wolf." He patted her head and left.
Ellen gaped with creased brows. Who the hell is that guy?
