She didn't bring anything else but a purse, her engagement ring, and a warm coat. She doesn't want to take clothes from the wardrobe that Alanis settled for her. She wanted him to be confident that she's coming back.

"I want this trip to be secret.

" She told him.

"Of course, only my pilot knows that you are going to leave.

"

He held her hand. They are sitting at the back seat of a tinted car on their way to the airport. Since her arms are entwined with him, she leaned her head to his shoulder. He leaned his cheek over her head and kissed it more.

"Don't worry about it. I will be fine and when you are done with that stupid war with Kuznetsov, let's celebrate Christmas in the Philippines.

"

"Good. I wanted to be properly introduced as your fiancé.

"

She only nodded. It didn't take long when they reached the airport. They got out and they went inside the private jet. He led her to their bedroom, and he locked the door. She gently removed her coat and hang it, then she turned back from him so he could unzip her dress.

She dropped the dress and turned to him. He reached her chin and kissed her lips.

"I love you, my Queen. You will be mine.

"

"I am yours.

" She kissed his lips and she lay on the bed.

Alanis's eyes burned down to her, as he removed the rest of his clothes and kiss her whole body. Then make love to her. It was a passionate hour for them, and it seemed like he doesn't want to leave. He dressed her up with warm PJs and kissed her forehead.

"I hate to leave you.

" He said.

"I will be fine.

" She kissed his lips.

"Come to me, okay? I will decorate my penthouse and we will celebrate our Christmas there.

"

"Okay.

" He kissed her forehead.

"Back in your country, a car will pick you up.

" He kissed her forehead.

"You won't be living in your penthouse.

"

"What?

"

"While we are here, I already purchased a house where you can be safe. It's already reconstructed and just call me if you want any changes on the interior.

"

She was quiet. He is so sure that he wanted to marry her. Her heart is beating crazily. How can he do this to her? How can he be so kind to her? How can he pamper like this? Sure, her grandpa showered her with everything she wanted but there are limitations and the need to be perfect for him. But this man breaks everything. She doesn't love him as much as he loved her. But he is willing to give the whole world and concur it for her.

She exhaled with a heavy heart.

"You are making me feel guilty.

"

"Why?

" He asked her.

"I don't love you as much as you love me.

" She breathed.

"Aren't you afraid that I may not be able to love you?

"

"My Queen, you are enough for me. If you are there, and I know to myself that you won't cheat on me or betray me.

"

"How can you be so sure of that?

" She asked him.

"I feel anxious. I am sure that I want you and I like you so much.

" She breathed heavily like she's been shouting for long.

"You are the only man that loves me this way.

"

"That's because I am your man.

" He kissed her forehead.

"Worry no more, I'll be with you as soon as I am done with everything. We can settle our wedding anytime you wanted, I'll let you decide with other things.

"

"You just construct a house for me. For our future…

" She said almost scolding him. He chuckled and kissed his lips.

"I purchased it a long time ago. I thought about it and when you put that ring on, I tell them to renovate it ASAP.

"

"Al,

" She punched his chest like a girl. He chuckled and kissed her face.

"I will leave now. The weather is calm and call me when you get there.

"

"Okay. I will.

" She nodded at him.

"Good night.

" He tucked her in,5 and he left.

Moira felt a little miserable and her heart is uneasy. Was it love? She felt like she wanted to be close to him more and she doesn't want to leave him. She put her thick coat and went to the guest area as the attendant took a new bottle of mojito and mixed it in front of her with mint and lime.

"Thank you.

"

She sipped on the mojito and the attendant served her food. She didn't eat much, and she drank more until the plan the plane departed. She drank more and more until she's drunk, and she headed to the bed. She lay there and had fallen asleep.

Andromeda stared at Leon for long. He hasn't spoken yet and she's so sure that they are searching for him to finish him. She exhaled and looked up.

"Who in my empire is betraying me?

"

"Everyone.

" He suddenly spoke and he laughed, then he shook his head.

"Kill me now.

"

"Beg.

" She said in a very strong and dangerous voice.

"I will ask you again. Is it someone close to my grandpa?

"

"Even though I'll tell you, there are a lot more who wanted to take the throne from you.

" He looked away and hugged himself.

"If you are thinking about your daughter, she's gone. I send her away from threats. Now, tell me.

"

Leon looked up at her with hope. She showed him the video of her daughter playing in the snow together with her mother.

"No bodyguards. I already have someone to monitor them and it's not from my empire, which is good. They are perfectly safe.

"

"Where are they?

" He asked.

"I can't tell you that. No one knows but me. So, are you going to tell me now?

"

"I promise everything you needed, just don't let them die. Don't let them take him.

"

"Who is he?

" She asked sharply. He looked straight into her eyes.

"What I know is his code name. He is called ``Water Dragon.

"

She frowned. How dare he use Dragon as his code name.

"He called himself Water-Dragon. I am not sure if he's part of your family.

"

It made her think more. It wasn't sure her grandpa because he arranged their marriage and he's fond of Zach. And he can't kill him because he knew that it would make her miserable when he's gone.

Who is this Water Dragon? Is he part of their family or he's just using it because he wanted to own the Dragon Empire?

"What else? I need more.

" She said eagerly.

"Who told you to shoot the captive?

"

"He's one of your directors.

" He muttered.

Andromeda's are dilated and she turned back from Leon. She clenched her first ready to kill someone.
