Andromeda call Ellen and Andel answered it. She listened to every word as he tells her details on what happened. Then, Andy called Moira and Moira give her details about the guy tampering Ellen's car.
She then studied her husband's expression. Zach looked so dangerous that he almost burned the whole hotel.
She wanted to do this with a cool head. And she understood that Zach is angry, but he can't know that Ellen is with Andel that night.
Andromeda called her people to start checking every angle of CCTV at the said time after that, she calmed him down and sang a lullaby to him. He's pillowing on her stomach until he fell asleep.
Andy has lots of questions. Is Ellen their target? Or was it Zach and they wanted to use Ellen? It might be Yves? But tampering car isn't Yves's thing. Who wanted to kill Ellen?
She couldn't sleep the whole night and she stayed on the window seat contemplating. Ellen nearly died. That could be the worst. It's good enough that Andel is there and he's driving the car. He can control the car without the break and Moira and Alanis helped them stopped the car.
But the trauma that it gave to Ellen is huge.
***
Andel helped Ellen dressed up into her nighties and he helped her removed her make up. He is still trying to calm her down and make her drink warm water. Since it's November 1, 2019, and holiday, he didn't have to go to the office. He will just accompany her and take care of her.
"Sleep, okay?" He caressed her hair and reached her chin. "Oh, poor dear. I won't let anything bad happen to you."
"I'm grateful that you are there." She snuggled on his chest.
"No one will hurt you again." He held her head and kissed her top head. His eyes suddenly become fierce as he stared out the window.
The whole night, he didn't sleep as he only stared at the window hugging her and finding out who try to kill Ellen. He won't let this slid. Someone is provoking them. No one can provoke a Mondragon. Andel will make that person's life miserable.
When Ellen is asleep, he finally called Andromeda as he sat at the edge of the bed, holding Ellen's ankle and admire her beautiful feet.
"They are still processing the review," Andy said in low voice. "I'm sorry for not answering the car."
"Don't worry about it. I can still manage it. Her car is running out of gas… and Moira is there to save us."
"I will torture whoever is provoking our family," Andromeda said. Andel agreed.
"The Little Girl is so scared, Andy. I am also scared that this person is not trying to hurt Ellen."
"Don't worry, Andel. I will take care of this. Zach almost burned down everything in the hotel. He will probably visit Ellen later. Zach can't see you."
"Uhuh… yeah sure. I will disguise well when I'm with Ellen. My identity should remain a secret… Sabrina has threats and the same with you." He told. "And who's phone are you using?"
"Zach's old phone. I recently lost my phone so—Zach is still checking if it's tampered."
"Okay, maybe I should rest. You should too. I have to visit my mom later."
"Yeah. Sure." Andy exhales. "Take care of Ellen. Don't hurt her."
"I will." Andel hung up and stare at Ellen.
Does he deserve this woman? She's everything. She's perfect in his eyes.
Andel lost his mother and after his mom, he loved another mom and it's Moira's mother. She's good and he loved his sister Moira. He thought that he also love Ellen as a sister, but this became an attraction that he can't see her as a little girl anymore but a woman.
Ellen deserved everything beautiful in this life and he will complete it for her. He will give it to her whether she likes it or not. He exhales as he remembered how Ellen would treat him as a big brother and protector.
"Can you please get me my cat?" The five-year-old Ellen, wearing a purple dress asked him. He's nine years old and practically four years older than her. So, he treated her like his little angel. "She won't come down." Her lips wobble and she sniffled and wipe her tears and still stand there looking so strong.
"What do I get in exchange?" He asked as he closed his book and lean his cheek on his hand.
"Anything. Please? She might die there."
"Your cat won't die there. They have nine lives. Do you know that?"
Ellen blinked and thought for a while. She's so adorable that Andel couldn't help but admire the little girl more.
"Well, are you going to get it or not?" She asked still looking adorable. Andel stood from his seat and take her hand and let her lead him to the tree where her cat climbed up.
Andel removed his slippers and climbed up expertly then reached the white kitten crouching like a cotton ball. He put the cat on his shoulders and the cat's paws dug on his shirt. Then he jumped and Ellen jumped in excitement. She hugged him tightly.
Andel knelt one knee and gave the cat to her. Then Ellen kissed his lips that makes him stunned. For little Ellen, it's an innocent kiss from a baby but it did something to
"Mommy! I got Snow Ball!"
That day, Andel become close to her and whenever her mother left her to her grandpa's mansion whenever she got big appointments with investors and Ellen would willingly stay in the Mansion and make her grandparent's happy. Andel is just around to babysit her and play with her and take care of her. He became her total knight and shining armor and a babysitter.
***
Andel looked at the beautiful princess sleeping peacefully. Her parents didn't even let any bugs bite her and now—someone is trying to kill her.
Ellen opened her eyes and looked at him. She smiled and reached his face.
"You didn't sleep?" She asked. He moved close to her and hugged her.
"I just love admiring you and didn't notice the time."
"Come on, sleep okay? We got all the time." She kissed his forehead.
"Ellen, did you remember when I climb up the tree and took Snow Ball down?"
"Hmm. Yeah." She nodded.
"You remember that you kissed me on lips?"
Ellen thought for a while.
"Did I?" She asked.
"That's my first kiss, little kitten." He kissed her lips. "Your brother is on his way here. I'll just go hide…"
"Can't I just tell everyone about us?" She asked. Andel scooped her face.
"Baby girl… it will be more dangerous. I will protect you with all my life, but this is my way of protecting you. I am one of the heirs of our empire. I have to support my cousins."
Ellen is disappointed but she understood him. So, she nodded and let him decide about it.
"You sang beautifully… can you sing to me? Please?"
Andel laughed and lay flat on the bed. She's silent so when he glanced at her… he cleared his throat.
"What do you want me to sing?"
"Your man…" She grinned and looked at him.
Andel laughed and started singing that sexy song. Ellen sat up and watch him sing. She started removing the buttons of her PJs and Andel stopped.
"Make love to me."
Andel's eyes widen. Ellen already removed her top and she straddles on him. Damn… it!
