Fox stayed in the living room monitoring Ellen's penthouse if ever someone would get in. He viewed the front door and found Ellen with Seth who dropped her off. He reached the volume and listen to their conversation.

"I was here the other day and you aren't answering. I thought that you already moved out." Seth said using a psychological reverse conversation for her to talk. But Ellen knows well, and she wasn't stupid.

​​

"I never moved out. It's still my penthouse. Sometimes I come out to buy something and have drinks with friends."

Seth nodded with a smile.

"Just be careful. I recently heard that there's a serial killer out there… NBI is already catching him. You can call me anytime." He offered nicely. "But is your brother there? Brother in law, right?"

"Yeah." She nodded. "He's quite busy and maybe he's out somewhere." She answered calmly. "This night is really tiring." She muttered with a sighed.

"Your sister in law sings well, as well as your brother."

"It's in our blood. My brother was in a band with Andy's brother."

"Yeah, I remember all of your brother's concert. It's was back in high school and they are in senior. Good night." He kissed her cheek and he left.

Ellen frowned. Yeah, he was in the same high school as her. She opened her penthouse and get into the house. She locked the room and she got startled when an arm wrapped around her. She almost screamed but the big hand covers her mouth.

She muffled a cry but the man pointed a gun to a cold knife on her.

"Shhh."

Tears started flowing from her eyes.

***

Fox never thought that a man is hiding somewhere out of the sight of the cameras. He stood and call Andel as he rushed to the balcony and climb up using other's balcony so he could sneak inside her house. Using the front door is not a smart decision to help Ellen.

Fox glanced at the other balcony and saw Andel. His eyes are fierce, and he signed him to keep quiet. They sneaked inside and the man tied up Ellen and pushed her on the sofa. The man took photos of her and send it to someone.

Andel glanced at the clock. As soon as the man destroy a few cameras and disposed of it to the trash bin, he went to the kitchen. Andel immediately unlocked the balcony with his key and then sneaked in silently with Fox. Andel put a finger on his lips and he hides with Fox. Fox positioned on the hall entrance waiting for the guy to pass but the shadow of the man stopped. Fox signed Ellen to lay down so she did and the man at the same time throw the knife at Ellen's direction. The knife darted on the sofa.

Ellen gasped and Fox sneaked to the man and attacked him. Andel carried Ellen to the corner and removed the duct tape carefully and the wires on her wrist and ankles. He removed his coat and put it on her. Then he took her to his room and Fox kept on fighting on the man.

Andel scooped her face and wiped her tears.

"You are safe." He kissed her forehead. Andel stood but Ellen held his hand to stop him.

"Don't leave me." She begged and hold him tightly.

"Ellen." He pulled her hand and put it down to her lap. He scooped her face. "I have to catch that guy."

There are shattering on the living room and Andel stepped out closing the door. Andel watched how the man fought Fox. He's good and it seemed that this assassin is not an assassin. The height and the body structure are perfect for the man who always visits Ellen's penthouse last time and took photos from her photo album.

The man punched hard Fox on the face and Fox stepped back. So Andel pulled the man and ready to fight him. What he didn't expect is the man have this tear gas throwing it in front of him between them and the man left using the front door.

Fox is about to run after the guy but Andel ran first and when he came out to the corridor of the building. The guy is nowhere to find. Andel called the security downstairs and told them not to let anyone out.

Andy exhales as she thought it repeatedly. Shalane Gilberts… how is she going to torture the woman who hurt her mother? She needs to think of something eviler for revenge.

Zach wrapped her arms around her and pull her closer to him. He kissed her injured wrist and then her forehead. Andy sighed the comfortableness she's feeling on their bed and in his warm arms and hot body.

"Don't worry." He kissed her forehead. "I'll handle everything."

"Thank you, Zach."

"You don't have to thank me. I love you. You are my wife. Your mom is my mom and I will do everything for you. To protect you and seek revenge for you." Zach murmured on her ear.

Andy felt guilty so suddenly. She lied to him on what he wanted and once that he will know—she can take all the blame. It's her fault after all. Andy turned to Zach and hugged him tightly.

Suddenly, Andy's phone chimes and then, she turned back from him and reached the phone. She opened the message and frowned on photos of Ellen, with duct tape on her mouth, her hands at her back and her ankles are wired.

Her eyes become fiercer. And then a message was sent to her.

"I won't bother her again. But you have to be mine first."

Zach saw her expression so he took her phone and frowned even more from the unknown number. Zach immediately took his phone and call his bodyguards to check on Ellen. Andy took her phone from Zach and call Andel.

"How is she?"

"She's fine now. She's safe and the guy nearly killed her. We lost him. He's fast… like a real assassin."

"I got it." Andy hung up and face Zach.

"Ellen is safe now."

Zach exhaled and faced her.

"She's already with one of my people. They arrived right in time."

Zach is still uneasy so he contacted his men to investigate although Andy insisted that she's safe.

"She's safe with who?!" Zach couldn't help but shout at her.

"She's safe with my very own spy." She told. "I'm sorry. I can't tell you his name. He's a good person and he is monitoring Ellen. He saved her many times and he even caught the stalker who stole photos of me in Ellen's penthouse. They catch him but it seemed that this man had settled a class B assassin as his decoy."

"What?" Zach frowned.

"She's not in the penthouse. It just happened that Seth is dropping her by and the man is there."

"So, Seth is not the stalker?"

Andy kept quiet. She didn't even know. Seth looked so normal.

***

Andel is frowning hard as he checked the recordings. He was so sure that the man is the same man that is stalking Andy and has been roaming around Ellen to make it his target. Andel took her to a warm bath and then cuddle with her on the sofa as Fox take over the CCTV cameras and saw the guy change clothes so quickly.

"So, Seth is not the guy?" Fox asked. "How about the car that kept going in and out? I can't get a chance to sneaked in since there are roving guards around the area of his house."

"Seth leave so it wasn't him," Ellen told. Andel held her head and kissed her top head. She's shuddering from trauma.

"Any man can hire someone to do that to you." He muttered.

"Andel is right. But, you see the man's body structure and the man's height is perfect for our subject."

"What if? This is another trap again?" Andel asked. "This time to trap Andy?"

Fox turned his swivel chair and looked up.

"You are right. There are lots of possibilities."
