Aaron stayed in the country clubhouse together with his children, Moira and Zachary. He kept drinking until he had fallen asleep and woke up in the morning with a big headache. Andy gave him medicine and left. Well, that's how his daughter is sweet towards him.

But anyway, it's not about that. He should start finding her but where should he start. He went to the conference room and found Moira facing two laptops as she started taking all the details. She wrote it all up and then Aaron sat down beside her and watched her do the stuff.

​​

"I found the recent contact since she hasn't changed the number."

She printed the conversations that she retrieved, and Aaron started reading it. It's all about Fiona. His heart is pumping fast and, in the end… Fiona is nowhere. They are also looking for her and maybe assumed that she's dead.

"From what I read—I think your wife is still alive and had escaped from them for years. Maybe she's just around and afraid to go back because of threats."

"You are a smart girl," Aaron told. "Thank you, Moira."

"Anytime." Moira rubbed her head.

"I'm sorry about this that I have to—"

"It's alright, Mr. Mondragon. It's good and I like doing stuff like this."

Aaron gathered it all and then told her to rest. He stood ready to leave and to start his investigation when his brother Edmond arrived in his casual outfit. He especially called him to help him with these kinds of stuff.

Moira and Edmond's eyes met, and she nods her head and gathered her laptop to leave.

"Wait." Edmond stopped her. He walked around and then face her. "What's your relationship with our father?"

Moira is surprised by his question, but she remained calm and look up at him.

"He's like a grandfather and father to me," Moira said. "If you think that he is my sugar daddy then, you think it wrong. Grandpa loved his wife until he dies so, my relationship with him is like-father and daughter."

"I understand. I just want to clear things. But anyway, you mind joining us for lunch? I want to know you more." Edmond said.

Moira glanced at the clock and it's nine in the morning. She hasn't sleep yet.

"She needed to sleep," Aaron said. "How about dinner? I am sure that Moira will be catch up with her sleep. Right, dear?" Aaron asked sweetly like he's a father to her.

"Yeah, sure." She nodded and she turned back. Edmond's eyes are on her. Edmond seemed to want to talk to her more, but Moira left with her laptop to her room.

Andel and Fox enter the penthouse and found Ellen sitting on the sofa. She stood and turned on the lights. The two seemed to see horror and Andel hide behind Fox. Ellen crossed her arms and frowned at the two.

"Where did the two of you go?" Ellen asked.

"Just unwinding," Fox told and then pushed Andel to Ellen. Andel hid his cut and put his arm to her and kissed her forehead taking her back to their room.

"I'll just take a shower and give you a lot of kisses down there." He murmured sexily.

"No!" She frowned at him. She removed his coat and found a bandage wrapped around his forearm. She punched his stomach and he winced. "Let me see it." She pushed him down on the bed and he walked around to the bathroom and took the medicine kit. Then she cleaned his wound that has two inches cut and it's not that deep.

She sniffled as she wrapped up bandages. He watched her weep as she wrapped up bandages. He wiped her wet cheeks and kissed her head.

"I love you. Okay?"

"Then why do you have to risk your life to catch that man?"

"Because I love you. I just said that."

"If you love me, you wouldn't do stupid things to put yourself in danger… what if…" She started sobbing like a little girl and Andel's heart just breaks.

"I'm sorry. How can I protect you if I won't risk something?"

"Just be with me. It will be fine… everything will be fine." She hugged him.

"Ellen, you have to understand my ways of protecting you."

"But I don't want you to get hurt."

"I know… Baby girl. Sleep now. Stop crying… tomorrow is the reunion and you need to look beautiful."

She sniffled and wipe away her tears.

"I will just watch over you."

"So it's okay if I'll escort Seth or be his muse for a night?"

"Yeah." He kissed her nose. "Sleep now, darling. I'll bring ice for your eyes."

"No. Just… give me orgasms." She murmured shyly. Andel laughed and patted her head.

"As you wish my little girl."

Andromeda fit her gown and was satisfied with it. It's her second fit and their reunion will be in a few hours and the designer make few adjustments. Zach is sitting on the sofa watching her stand in front of the mirror and admire her beauty. His Goddess.

Andy stepped down from the stage and strode to him.

"Gorgeous." He reached her injured hand and carefully check it. "Still hurting?"

"Yes."

"Don't worry, I already bankrupt them."

"You don't have to." She said. "I can put them down in my way."

"No." He caressed her curves. "My wife can't be bullied by anyone and can't be hurt by anyone. I can torture anyone who will try to hurt you."

"Hmm. Well,"

Zach stood and kissed her lips.

"Is she done?" He asked the designer.

"Yes, sir. The gown is ready for tonight."

"Good." He smiled. "Love, why won't you dress up. We got an appointment for your spa."

Zach helped her on changing clothes since her right hand is injured. He told her to wait on the sofa and he talked to the designer about new gowns for other events.

Andy waited near the door and looking out, she saw a woman in black scarf peeking inside. Andy stared at the woman thinking that she had seen her before. Andy met eyes with the woman and her eyes widen. The woman was shocked, and Andy didn't think twice about bursting outside. The woman runoff.

"Wait!" Andy calls. The woman stopped. Andy exhales as she recognized the height, how the woman stands, and the woman dressed. "Please, turn around. I am not going to hurt you."

The woman turned back covering her face and runoff. Andy runs after the woman and caught her by holding the woman's arm. Andy stopped as she saw scar of burns on the woman's left hand. The woman shuddered and gently reached her injured right wrist.

Andy gaped, her heart started shattering as she saw a half of the woman's face.

"Mom?"
