Zachary sat beside her and reached her face. He kissed her lips.

"I don't want you to ruin my chance to find this out."

​​

"Oh!" She rolled her eyes. "Really?"

"No. I wanted Allona to think that we are breaking up. But since I am pissed at you when you didn't hold me back, I couldn't say it and I am rushing."

"How did Fin get involved?"

"I contact him since he had foreseen the incident in the hotel."

"Hmm." She pulled his pillow and hugged it.

"So, your mom is searching for Natasha's Aunt and somehow—Kuznetsov is still on the plan on killing Natasha."

She sat up and straddle to his lap and shoved her face to his chest. He hugged her naked body and kissed her forehead.

"Yves Kuznetsov is still in the photo, huh and he's helping Allona?" She murmured.

"Yes." He reached her chin to make her face him. "Darling, don't hurt yourself. Okay?" He said as he remembered how she nearly killed herself. "Let's forget about the past and let's forgive ourselves. We didn't kill our baby."

"I won't do it again." She said. "I will be strong from now on."

"You are strong, my love." He kissed her forehead. "Let's not fight like that. I don't like it." He pulled her closer and kissed her lips.

"I don't like it, too."

Zach devoured her mouth and lay her down. He reached her down there and felt that she's already wet. He shoved himself inside her and started making love to her. He needed to take care of everything before he temporarily left the crowded city.

Andy rolled over the bed and clutched her stomach. Damn, she's so hungry. Her husband is nowhere to find. She called him and he finally entered the room with a tray of foods. She immediately sat up and he put it at the edge of the bed. She reached the smoothie and sipped on it.

"You just woke up, slow down. Okay?" he went to the walk-in closet and pull three Louis Vuitton stroller bags. She frowned at him.

"What's that?"

"Bags." He said and then he reached the piece of strawberry and reached it to his mouth. "Finish the food. You still need to take a bath."

"Where are we going?" She asked and continue eating.

"Andy, no more questions." He entered back to the walk-in closet. "When is your next shot?" He asked.

"Uhh—next week." She said. She doesn't want to have a shot or something. It's not safe anymore in the clinic where she had her shot.

"Good." He strode to her. "What else do you want to bring with you?" He asked.

"Why?"

"We are leaving." He said.

"For how long?" She asked a little worried. He didn't answer her, and he told her to finish the food. "Zach!" She called but he told her to hurry up. So, she did. She scrambled out from bed and followed him to the bathroom.

Andy is still puzzled as they leave their house. She only had her phone and tablet, use as her communication to the facility. Zachary seemed to have planned something. Damn—there are lots of things to do in the facility. They reached the warehouse where he kept his choppers and jet plane and whatever flying things there are.

"Where are we going?" She asked him again, but he only hushed her, and they rode the chopper as it goes up and up.

Their hands are intertwined as she admires the beautiful scenery from above. It takes at least an hour until they reached a very isolated house. At least kilometers away from the main town. She looked at him and then she received a sweet kiss from him.

"This is our honeymoon."

"What?" She stopped. "Honeymoon?"

"Yes. We didn't have a proper honeymoon after our wedding."

"Didn't we just have our honeymoon during quarantine?" She rose her brows. "And every weekend…"

"Those don't count." He shook his head.

They landed perfectly on the rest house's helipad. Then, their bodyguards took their bags and a caregiver greeted them. She smiled at the woman at the age of fifties. Zach tour her around and tell her that it's one of the family rest houses and they are going to use it.

"Madame Marina is taking care of the whole rest house and she lived on the cottage near the parking." He told her. She looked at the beautiful cottage with blooming flowers. "Her husband is with her and they are taking care of the whole rest house and the garden.

"Oh, so they have a little vegetable garden here?"

"Yes. Dad let them do whatever they wanted. Since they are also family to us."

"How come that I didn't know about these locations of your family properties."

"Of course, we put it under their name." He said and kissed her lips. "Taxes are always paid and it's a safe house."

"Oh." She nodded and they entered the house and the food is already served. "Smell famishing."

Zach held her but hugging her from behind and kissed her neck.

"Love,"

"Hmm?"

"Sorry that I hurt you. Sorry that I got annoyed and didn't talk straight to you."

Andy stopped. She also became weak.

"Sorry that I was weak." She held his hand and she faced him. "I know that you only love me. I was insecure and I was stupid. I wasn't strong enough. But I will make myself better each day."

"I love all of you, from your strengths and weaknesses. If you wanted anything else to clarify on what I had done, just ask me."

"Okay." She nodded. "I trust you."

"I know that you wanted to kill her badly." He caressed her hair. "I know that she killed our baby. She said it in front of me. In front of James and Travis and Moira. They heard it coming from her mouth when you were out for mission and I settled a trap for her."

She gaped and looked up at him.

"I was catching her, more. She knows something else and she's working with the assassins. On the day when we got ambushed while we are on our way to our wedding? It was one of her plans. She's part of it. I wanted to kill her badly. But she did more wrong with you. I will let you handle her, but I will always back you up."

Her heart that seemed to be shattered yesterday had been born new. She's so much in love with him now. Though he had hurt her back then? She already forgave him. She also had forgiven herself from letting someone ruined her life.

Now, without any guilt in her heart, she wanted to start anew with the love of her life.

"Zach. But I'm hungry. Can we just eat and maybe talked after?"

He laughed and nodded at her.

Fin checked the details that they collect from the Allona. Zach is useful when it comes to Allona. They had gathered a lot and somehow—they even have someone who is also a little close to Zach's body built to set up Allona and make her think that she had fucked Zach.

Someone is good at drugs. He glanced at one of his men and nodded at him.

"It's a fantasy pill." He said in his Japanese accent.

"Wow. Since when you created this?" He asked and checked the pill.

"Two years ago, while I was working at the herbs. Master give me access to his garden."

"Great." He grinned with a thumbs up. "We could get used to this to get more information."

"So, the woman that was flirting with Sir Zachary is part of the Rose Empire?"

"She's paying big to the Empire and I think that she had lots of money. She's rich but how can she afford an assassin from Rose Empire?" Fin thought for a while. His trusted man named Zin Takishima introduced him to more of a drug that can be used during their operation.

He agreed to it and then he went back to the main house to the master's bedroom. Selina is getting ready to bed. He smiled at her and kissed her temple lightly then he strode to the bathroom to take a shower.

After his shower, he dried himself and put his PJs then he joined her to bed. He reached the ointment and started massaging her calves and feet. She smiled at him as she rubbed her stomach.

"So, how is this work with Zach?"

"Well, we handle it well. Andy is safe although one of the guards had a gunshot. But it wasn't fatal."

"Damn, you boys don't need to hurt women when you are thinking that you needed to protect us while keeping a secret on the other hand."

"Zach just do it in a rush and hadn't got time to explain to Andy."

"If Zach told Andy sooner, she wouldn't get too hurt and had a breakdown after seeing Zach with another woman."

"Andy saw it on her vision, however—she somehow forgot since she's occupied of Allona's tricks." He said to defend Zach. Women somehow couldn't understand one thing that a man could do, just to protect their woman.

"Okay! Whatever." She gave up. "Rubbed my back, darling." She murmured with a yawn.

"Yes, no problem." He bent down closer to her stomach and pressed an affectionate kiss.
