He bathed with his corgi, then dried its fur with a blower and brush it.

The dog kept on licking him to show his love.

​​

They went downstairs for breakfast. Once that he settled the corgi named King, with food and water, he sat down on the chair and reach for the cup of coffee as he took his tablet and checked his emails.

His father sat down on the chair and join him. He sipped on his coffee and look at him.

"Why didn't you say anything when I told you that you'll marry the heiress of Mondragon?"

"I know that you'll still push me to marry her."

"Then better get rid of your women."

He's been a rebel after what happened to them two years ago. It was his fault after all. It was all his fault that both of their hearts are broken. It was his fault that she was angry at him. She hated him a lot.

He was about to leave in his Porsche when a big bike blocked the driveway. He saw her, wearing black heels, skinny jeans, a white shirt, and a black coat and a backpack. When she removed her helmet, the wind passes through at the right time as it brushes her long raven hair. He was mesmerized and his heart is beating loudly.

He doesn't know how long he gaped at her, but he was stunned, and he opened the back door of his car when he composed himself from his daze and put his bag there.

"Where's King?" she asked in a fierce voice however, the dangerous look was her main asset.

"Inside. Why?" he asked coldly and approach her. She didn't say a thing walking inside like she owns the runway. He exhales and followed her as the dog barks and ran to her, wiggling his tail and jump to her. She caught it and hugged the dog. "Andromeda," he stopped her. "Don't take King."

"He's mine!" she growls at him and the dog whimpers getting terrified.

"Hey~~" he got irritated and followed her outside as she put King inside her big empty backpack and put the little helmet on the dog that fits King perfectly. "Come on, Andromeda. Let's talk about this." Good thing that he bathed King, if not, she will get mad if he smells bad.

"Shut up." She said coldly.

"What if he jumped out?!" He couldn't help but raise his voice. The woman is so stubborn.

She stopped and looked up at him. She put the belt on the dog inside the bag and then put the bag in front of her. Damn, her stubbornness is annoying but he still loves her.

So, he had no choice but to let her. He followed her using his car and he lost her making him cursed and annoyed. She is driving him crazy. She's fast with her driving and it drives him even madder. He arrived at the office and in a bad mood. He asked his secretary about the updates and while he's checking, his phone rings. He didn't answer it and continue his work.

After like an hour, his girlfriend showed up with a cupcake that he hates. Cinnamon. She thought that he loved it, but he gave it to his secretary since his secretary loved cinnamon so much. She needed a thing from him that's why Tina is there purring like a cat, twirl his swivel chair around, kneeling… unbuckling his pants. He just looked down at her and let her pleasure him. But all he thought was Andromeda, the woman who has done it with him multiple times.

"Stop." She stopped from what she's doing. He didn't even have an erection when she did it. He sat up fixing himself and sign her to sit on the sofa. "What do you want?"

"I—I just missed you. We've been together for like a year. Why do you always asked me what I want whenever I came here?"

"Because it's your hobby?" He sounded very much joking and pick up his phone and played with it for a while and checking his messages. Tina is his long time girlfriend or a bed mate. He isn't serious with women around him. He just thought of Andromeda all these years. He cursed himself to only love her.

"I'm asking you to marry me." He stopped for a while. "Is that what you want to hear then?"

"Let's not meet again." He said putting down his phone. "I'll give you one last project and that's all. Never contact me again." She looked broken for a moment.

"Why? Because I asked you to marry me?" she wiped her tears.

"Fuck!" he turned back and brushes his messy hair with his fingers.

"Then I take it back." She said and keep on insisting him.

"We both know that this is a game, Tina." He knew why Tina approached him. He's powerful. He had a lot of connections and had lots of money sitting on his bank account.

"Well, let's keep playing then." She stood fixing her dress.

She's a model after all, beautiful body—but for Zach, no one ever compares to Andromeda. She has a very beautiful body. Hourglass fit and athletic. He couldn't forget how she danced around and expertly beat up males. He just missed her, and it is killing him every day remembering how he left her.

"I can't play anymore." He decided. He went to the wall glass and look down from the tenth floor, seeing her passing by with a dog on her backpack. "I am getting married." He already had pictured in his mind about her reaction. "I already had given you a condo you want. A car you want. A job you want. You are nearly a superstar. Tina, I can't play anymore."

"Z-Zach! We can still play even though you are married. You know that. It's not like I am not better than her."

She will never be enough or better than Andromeda. No woman compares to her. She's the best among the bests.

"I can't Tina. My fiancée, she's different. And please, don't ever compare yourself to her."

"What do you mean different?" she strode toward me and caress my coat. He just can't say that she's the love of his life. "Don't tell me that you are afraid of her?" she wanted to laugh, and she caressed his crotch but he didn't get hard on her. "Let's have lunch."

"This will be the last time that we see each other. Consider is a breakup lunch."

He tolerated her by going to the restaurant that she loved most. Her assistant made reservations. When they arrived, he only eats a little and after they ate, he walked her to her car and since his building is nearby, he'll just walk back to his office.

He did not expect that he'll bump into Andromeda. He was too occupied watching her putting things on her Maserati and King is barking at him. Andromeda look in his direction and Tina kissed his cheeks that surprises him.

"Later, I'll wait for you in my unit."

He doesn't know if Andromeda is mad at him, she is just monotonous. Then he looked at Tina.

"I told you, this is the last time." He gritted his teeth at her.

He walked off and walked toward Andromeda. She ignored him, closes the door of her 2018 Maserati Ghibli from the shotgun seat. She was about to walk around the driver seat when he grabbed her arm. She pushes his arm away, but he still grabbed her elbow and make her face him.

"Let's have dinner later."

"I don't eat dinner." She was about to walk off again but he held her and make her face him.

"You are just borrowing King from me."

"No. I am taking King away from you." She grit her teeth. He was too mesmerized by her smart mouth. "I bought that Corgi for few bucks and you just stole him from me!" She pushes him. He held her elbow and pull her a lot closer to him. She chinned up and glared at him.

"I am going to marry you anyway so—" she clenches her fist and probably her nails are digging on her palm skin, trying to compose herself not to hurt him. "We'll have dinner no matter what." He kissed her forehead and he let her go.

---

He went directly to the Mondragon Mansion. He asked the cook for their dinner since she doesn't want to go out and eat. He found her on the bed, lying there, still on her clothes and cuddling King. She was staring from nowhere. He couldn't help but crawl on the bed and hugged her from behind as well.

He was like dreaming. He was so caught up in their past that he can't move on. That until now, he cannot control himself just to get near her.

It was after their hot intimate first night together. She was so tired that couldn't get up from the bed. She even asked him to bring her to the bathroom that she needed to pee. He laughed, kissing her lips and bring her to the bathroom. Then he prepared the bathtub with warm water and pour some essential oils while she's peeing.

"I'll call for breakfast." She nodded still half eyes are open and he kisses her head as he called for breakfast.

He goes back to the bathroom finding her already on the bathtub and reaching for him. His clingy girl. He never thought that he'll be her first. He never thought that this kind of woman—wanted to party all day and night was an innocent virgin. She got the perfect body that he wanted. She's healthy and can give him kids. She was just perfect for him.

After their breakfast in bed, still both naked, they cuddle again on the bed, while the balcony double door is open, and tell each other stories about themselves as the sea air entered their room.

He was back to reality and she didn't mind him spooning her. She probably remembers those times with him. But not until she demanded him to get off from her. He probably smelled like Tina since the girl rubbed herself to him which he pushed her away.

Since he has a pair of clothes with him and the guest room is settled for him, he took a shower in her room, which she didn't mind. Then he found her still on the bed with King.

"Let's eat now."

"I'm not hungry." Seeing the bandage around her upper arm makes his heart clenched.
