nInstead of going back to their house, Zach brought her to their resthouse to celebrate her Uncle Edmond's birthday. She already had a ready dress for her to wear and it's already prepared in the resthouse located on a beach.

nIt only took them two hours to get there since he's driving the motorbike. They got there and everyone is settling and guests are lining up. He parked the motorbike while she's waiting for him.

nThey went to their room. She took a warm shower first and dress up. He's already dressed up for the event. Zach helped her up with her hair and her dress. He kept teasing her but she isn't in the mood and she's on her period.

nEllen knocked on the door and enter the room with her makeup kit. She put powder on her face, lipstick, and mascara. That's it and she's done. Zach escorted her outside and it's already crowded.

n

"Andy!

" James came running and took her, twirling her around, put her down and kissed her forehead.

"Where the f-ck have you been?

" He asked.

n

"James, don't mind me.

" She waved off and looked at Moira in her white dress. She dressed simply and still her beauty is stunning. No need makeup to highlight her beauty. That's what a real Mondragon is. Then she looked at Kathleen who made sure that her makeup is perfect.

n

"Moira.

" Zach greeted her and shook her hand.

"Well--I guess she's your date tonight?

" Zach asked James. James looked at Moira and patted her head.

n

"She's my little sister beside Andy. But she babysits me more than I babysit her… Anyway--your loverboy isn't here?

" James grinned at Moira.

nMoira rolled her eyes and she accidentally looked at Edmond Mondragon. Her real father. Well, he doesn't know at all. Because General Mondragon hides her from everybody for her safety. She's eager to have a father but--she must endure everything to make her grandpa proud of her.

n

"We will be going,

" Andy said and looked at Moira one last time implying something.

nMoira told James that she's going to grab some drinks. She took a glass of wine and looked at her grandfather on the main seat talking to people, besides him are his children, Aaron the firstborn, next is the birthday celebrant and her father Edmond, his daughters Andrea and Cersei.

nAround them are family. She wanted to have a family like them. They look so happy but behind it, everyone is scheming behind each--mostly their in-laws. Stabbing each other's back for the sake of the big amount of inheritance.

nMost guests are from the army since Edmond had become a General three years ago. She looked at Andromeda. Everyone knows that Andromeda has the most of the Old General's inheritance so everyone wanted to kill her over the sum of money. She pities her somehow but Andromeda has been shaped up by their grandfather.

n

"What are you thinking?

" Steve Mondragon-Smith, son of Andrea Mondragon asked.

n

"None of your business.

" She said coldly.

nSteven Mondragon-Smith had a twin brother Stanley-Mondragon Smith. Their father is an American who loved their mother Andrea so much. She never saw anything scandalous in their family. Andrea is very lady. She could be a perfect housewife and muse at the same time. Nothing's wrong with their family at all.

n

"Aren't you afraid to get fired?

"

n

"James can't fire me.

" She smirked. Steve thought dirty about her.

n

"You are James's little lover.

" He said. She looked straight at him.

n

"James is not my type. He's just my boss and if you think that I am interested in a Mondragon--I think you should think again because I have no interest in anyone.

" She said casually.

n

"Okay.

" He said.

n***

nAndy wanted to leave badly but she's Zach's wife and she should be with him. But she's so bored. The celebration started and there are little speeches for Edmond. Andy watched Kathleen steal the light and say sweet things toward Edmond and her mother Paula.

nBut she got lots of proof that Paula is a scheming woman. She scandalous and she even got lovers behind her husband's back. She suddenly felt lonely. Moira's mother died without her Uncle Edmond knowing that she's pregnant before they separated because of the bitch Paula who claimed that she's pregnant with his child.

nShe monitored Kathleen for a while. Then she left and Andrew Pattinson followed. She didn't say anything and Moira who has been bugging by the twins Steven and Stanley left and went inside to the bathroom.

n

"Excuse me,

" Andy said and kissed her husband's cheek. She unwrapped her arm from him and she followed Moira.

nMoira entered the powder room and wash her hands. She stopped when she heard the rustling sound of clothes and the cubicle from the very last has this weird sound. Then the sound of a moan.

n

"Shh.

" It seemed like she's holding herself not to moan loudly.

nMoira looked at the mirror in front of her and saw the shoes of the woman. She put a little makeup on and the door opens. She looked at the door and saw Andy. Moira pointed the mirror where the reflection of the cubicle at the edge. Andy scoffed.

nAndy stood beside Moira.

n

"Your little suitor can't forget about you,

" Andromeda speaks that makes the two people at the cubicle stopped but then the man doesn't want to stop so Kathleen who is practically at the cubicle with a man couldn't help but to make some weird noises.

n

"Tell him that I have no interest.

"

nAndy washed her hand first carefully and thoroughly and Moira rolled her eyes. They ignore the couple in the cubicle who are screwing. Andy dries her hand and they stepped out the powder room. Then they went further to the balcony. The waiter came up to them and serve them drinks.

nAndy took one and Moira did the same. She sipped on the champagne flute and Moira smell it first and taste a little of it.

n

"Nice watch.

" Andy noticed the silver wristwatch that is surrounded by real diamonds.

n

"I can't take this off.

" She said and tried to take it off many times but there's a key to it.

nAndy giggled and then laughed.

n

"Don't tell me that Alanis gave it to you?

" She asked teasing her. Moira frowned. She turned back from her and she was surprised to the upcoming Kathleen who she dodged but she practically smacked at her making her nearly hit the parapet. Andy had stopped Moira from hitting the parapet.

nKathleen glared deadly at Moira and slapped her. Moira is surprised and Andy couldn't cover it because she's holding Moira from behind.

n

"It's you again, you little whore!

" Kathleen growled at her. Andy frowned and stepped forward between Kathleen and Moira.

n

"You are the whore here, Kathleen. You hit the wrong person.

"

n

"It's alright, Andy.

" Moira stopped Andy but Andromeda moved closer to Kathleen making her intimidated and stepped back a little.

n

"You don't know about your whole history? I feel so bad for you. You are the whore here Kathleen. Didn't you know about your real identity? Have you ever asked yourself if you are a real Mondragon?

" Andromeda's eyes are burning in anger but she's holding it and it makes Kathleen intimidated.

nKathleen slapped Andromeda hard and then she was dragged by a strong hand gripping on her arm.

n

"Touch my wife again, and I will make you miserable.

"

nAll of them are surprised by Zach. His voice was low and threatening. It sounds so dangerous and shivering cold.
