nAndy looked at the man's corpse. His half body is covered by white cloth and on the very middle of his forehead is a whole of .45 ammo. Andromeda sighed and stepped out of the morgue calmly.

nDeep inside, her blood is rushing her heart is ready to explode. She's in rage but showing how calmly she was would make them think that she doesn't care about the sniper.

nBut she does care because that sniper knows the person who wanted to kill her husband.

nShe went back to her office and reach one of the throw knives and start throwing on the wall to release some anger.

nShe groaned and almost break things inside her office. Someone is threatening her even, inside her territory. She will know soon enough. No one can rule their empire but a Mondragon.

nAndromeda stands still, her eyes fierce and anyone that would look at her would be intimidated. She exhales and smiled at herself then she started laughing. Everyone would think that she's crazy. What's crazy? The craziest thing is how she thinks. She will torture whoever is trying to challenge her here inside her facility.

nShe grabbed her keys, phone and wallet putting it on the inner pockets of her jacket. It's time to search for them.

nYves Kuznetsov has been quiet lately and they haven't found where his father is. Maybe he's quiet because they learned that she's searching for his father and the best way to hide his father is to be quiet.

nAndy left her office and called Moira to meet her in thirty minutes.

n***

nMoira, on the other hand, is with her grandfather eating in a Japanese restaurant. She takes care of him and after the call from Andy, she already guessed that something bad happened.

n

"Grandpa, are you proud of me?

" She asked him. Elder Mondragon looked at her warmly and reached her hand.

n

"My dear, I am always proud of you.

"

nShe was relieved about what her grandfather said. Every day she kept thinking. If her father knows that he had a daughter with his former lover, would he be happy? Would he be proud of her?

nShe continued eating.

nOn the other hand, Kathleen is eating with her friends when she saw Moira smiling and her Grandfather. Her eyes widen and she immediately took her phone out and take photos of them. Her grandfather looked so happy talking to Moira.

n

"That gold digger.

" She muttered.

n

"What is it?

" One of her friends asked.

n

"That little bitch who embarrassed me is dating my grandfather.

" She said sharply.

"I won't forgive her and I will make her life miserable.

"

n

"Yeah, she looked so closed to your grandpa.

" The other one said. Kathleen frowned and they stormed out the restaurant.

nAlanis, on the other hand, is nearby and stalking his woman. Moira is aware of it. He's just bored and following her around is such an entertainment. He read and eat whatever food is in front of him.

nMoira sipped on her red tea and checked her phone. Alanis kept on texting her and she ignored it all.

n

"Grandpa is it okay if I go out of the country… just relax and have fun. Sightseeing? I already filed for a month vacation-leave.

"

n

"Sure.

"

n

"And…there is this guy stalking me.

" She said.

nElder Mondragon glanced at Alanis on the other table.

n

"Do you like him?

" He asked with a grin. She looked down at her plate in very lonely eyes.

n

"I can't like him.

"

n

"Why not?

" He asked.

n

"You told me not to trust anyone.

"

n

"Yes. I did. But it doesn't mean that you can't fall in love. You can fall in love, my dear. What I want you to understand is to be careful about flying high, when the person you love hurt you and break your wings… you may not able to fly again. Learn something from your cousin. She loved Zachary so much to the extent that she rather die than him leaving her.

"

nMoira heard about their tragic love story years ago. She doesn't know the reason why Zach would leave her in the middle of their wedding. Andy must be in so much pain. But now, she sees how Zach cherished her and worshipped her like a Goddess. She now thinks of Alanis… she's not really into the man. They have different views and he's the King of an Assassin Empire.

n

"I am just warning you, my dear. Don't fall too hard. But Grandpa will always be here for you.

"

nMoira smiled tightly

nAfter they ate, Moira escorted her grandpa outside and his bodyguards with him and his nurse. She stood outside the restaurant. Alanis hold her hand, but she grabbed her hand away and crossed her arms.

n

"Well, dear… Go out with me.

"

n

"We are already outside.

"

nHe reached her chin turning it to him.

n

"Let's have dinner.

"

n

"Sorry—

" Before she explained further, he pressed his lips to her soft one and kiss her further. She was pushing his chest away but Alanis hold her waist tightly and her jaw tightly so she wouldn't restrain.

n

"Are you done yet?

" Andromeda behind Moira is standing with arms crossed and annoyed.

n

"Nope,

" Alanis answered giving her only a little time to breathe. Andy rolled her eyes and exhaled.

nMoira gave all her strength to pushed him away. Alanis grinned at her wiping the wetness around his lips.

n

"Goddamnit!

" She slapped him but he dodged and winked at her.

n

"Ugh.

" Andy groaned and punched Alanis into his stomach making him groaned in pain.

"Next time punch the guy into his dick.

" She told Moira and Andy grabbed her giving the helmet to her.

nMoira is wearing a fitted skirt and looked at the motorbike.

"We don't have time.

"

nSince Moira is wearing a black pantyhose, she ripped the side of her skirt and straddle on the seat at the back of Andy. Andy drove away.

nAlanis flushed seeing her wearing that sexy thigh. He won't let this Mondragon go. He like her so much.

n***

nAndy and Moira arrived at Andy's secret hideout. It was away from the crowd and it's just a small house. Andy is so smart that Moira started learning from her. Her grandfather is right. She had lots to learn from Andy.

nThey went to a secret passage which is underground and lots of computers and there's a vault door. Okay, Andy trusted her and she won't break that trust.

n

"All of the CCTV recordings on that day have been deleted. No one can retrieve it. I want you to retrieve it. This is the I.P. Address,

" she showed it to her.

"And it's hard to hack the system so one of them intently get into the server and fabricate few of it and delete few recordings.

"

n

"You got hold of the server?

" She asked.

n

"It's all in here.

" She told her and clicked a button and shows the server behind the wall.

nMoira gaped and just noticed that the walls are all servers. Andy is so smart.

n

"This is our little secret.

" She winked.

"Only you, your brother and our cousin Sabrina know about this.

"

n

"Thank you for trusting me, Andy.

"

n

"Of course, grandpa raised you and trained you. He trusted us more than his own sons and daughters.

"

nMoira exhales and puts her fingers on the keyboard like she's ready to play the piano.

n

"What happened?

" She started working her fingers and Andy sat down on the swivel chair and kicked on the floor as the chair run to the fridge and she took a bottle of champagne and wine glasses. She gave one to Moira.

n

"The sniper that almost killed my husband has been captured by my own husband behind my back through Ivanov. He eventually gave the guy to me and just a few days of staying in our cell—he was killed. Right directly to his skull.

"

n

"Someone is against your ruling inside your own kingdom,

" Moira said.

n

"Yes. Precisely.

" She said.

n

"You trust Zach?

" Moira suddenly asked. Andy smiled tightly.

n

"I love Zach. I trust Zach but not with these kinds of stuff. He doesn't ask much because he trusts me.

"

n

"Well, you are lucky today, cousin. I just recovered your recording.

" Moira said with a smirked on her face. Andy laughed and they clink their glasses.
