Chapter 325 - No Counterattack Part 1

Andromeda drank a bottle of water as they settled inside the sedan. Zachary held her warm hands and looked up at her.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"I am good."

"You don't feed odd with something you ate?" He asked just to check on her. She shook her head and smiled at him.

"Don't worry. They can't possibly poison me." She smirked at him. She had at least a dozen people in that area to protect her. The best agents that she chooses are there to protect her. She wouldn't enter there without a complete security protection plan. She didn't do it just to protect herself, but to protect Zachary, Dmitri, Freya, and Steven.

She dialed Dmitri's phone and he answered it.

"I just got home." He said.

"What's your plan?" She asked as Zachary kissed her hand and their car leaving the hotel.

"We wouldn't make a counterattack," Dmitri said unexpectedly calm. "I am safe and so my wife. I'll let him play on trying to kill a cat with nine lives."

Andromeda laughed at what he said. She looked at her husband lovingly. She moved close to him and lean on him.

"Well, you better feed your wife before she initiates a catfight."

Dmitri laughed in a very masculine way from the other line.

"I will dear, niece. It's not good to make a woman wait for long."

"Yeah. I agree with you. Good night."

"Good night." She hung up and snuggled to Zachary with puppy eyes.

"I want to go shopping and buy new shoes."

"Okay." He patted her head. "I think Lawson has a new release of leather shoes."

"Hmm. Then I'll grab my cousin Sabrina about it. I think I need sister bonding. She'll be very busy soon."

"Okay. Spend some money." He kissed her temple. "Just tell me if you feel something not right."

"I will."

Soon they reached their house and their dogs started barking and wiggling on them. She greeted them with big kisses. Zachary knelt one knee and help her removed the strap of her shoes. And put the slippers beside her. Feet. She thanked him and now, her feet are free from shoe bites.

"I'm going to give them treats." She said as she went directly to the kitchen to the cabinet.

She gave them each with treats and hugged them and pat them one by one as one of their maids came to greet her.

"Take them outside." She told. The maid nodded. Their dogs had their doghouse outside and where they could poo and do whatnots.

They prefer going out in the evening and bark at everyone and probably play with the guards.

"Love, our bath is ready!" Zachary called out. She walked upstairs and greet him with a kiss as she scratches her nails lightly to his ripped abdominal. "Bath first." He caught her wrists and then he helped her with her gown and then with the pins on her hair. He put the lethal weapon to the drawer and carried her to the bathroom. "You stand too long with those heels."

She smiled at him.

"I think I need a foot massage."

After a good foot massage, she relaxed on the bed while Zachary sleeps over her lap. She's still reading while brushing her fingers through his hair. She's reading the tabloid regarding the gala and she and Zachary are part of it. Then, there's Steven in his very serious yet cool expression with an unknown woman beside him.

He's known to be one of the hot lists together with Stanley. They once become a model for their company products that hit a bit because of their half-n.a.k.e.d body. Steven and Stanley aren't bringing dates during big events. They hook-up at every party and it's the first time that Steven brings a woman with him. Stanley is known to be already committed to Luna and doesn't want to show her off too often.

Her phone started ringing and she immediately answered it before it wakes Zachary.

"Dragon."

"Boss, they aren't from the Eagle Empire. They are hired assassins."

"Hmm. I see." She kept her voice low. "Kill them and send their heads to their Empire."

"Yes, Boss."

She hung up and caressed Zach's handsome sleeping face. No counterattack this time. She will play along with the Eagles. She put away his iPad and gently adjust Zach. He m.o.a.ned and he moved. She lay down facing him and she snuggled to his n.a.k.e.d chest.

"Zach…" She whispered and kissed his chest where his heart is located. "I love you."

"I love you…" He murmured sleepily as he tightened his hug to her.

When Dmitri arrived, he took a quick shower and he went to the kitchen where the ingredients have been prepared by his wife. She's sitting on the barstool and playing some video games. He kissed her temple and he washed his hands thoroughly and started with cooking the rice and preparing other ingredients.

"So, baby, how's the party?" She asked and put down her phone.

"Some of your admirers are asking about you. They can't wait for the next exhibition."

"I am busy finishing up the chapters of book one."

"Uhh—did you send it to Andromeda?" He asked.

"No." She shook her head. "Percy is the one who's editing it."

"Hmm. Can I read it?"

"Yeah." She nodded and smiled at him as she watched the cook. "Baby's super hungry."

He reached the mango slice and feed it to her. He washed his hands and dry it with towel tissue and then he put his earpiece and answer the call.

"Black." He said.

"Sir, we are now searching on who tried to kill you a while ago."

"Yes, please. Take your time."

"Will do sir."

"Thank you." He hung up and feed her more.

"Who's that?" She asked.

"One of my people."

"Nothing special?" She asked. He shook his head with a smile.

"You don't need to worry about other things."

"Okay."

He finished a few maki and sushi and served a plate for her. He cleaned up and then he sat beside her and watched her eat. She smiled as she chewed it carefully. She took a piece to feed it to him and he accepts it.

Agatha helped her husband clean up the rest and they went upstairs to her room. She brushed her teeth while staring at herself in the mirror. The truth that she wanted him home early is because she saw something. She washed her mouth and then her toothbrush. She looked at Dmitri standing on the balcony speaking with someone over the phone.

She took the damp towel and wiped her mouth and call for him.

"D, come and brush your teeth."

"Give me an update tomorrow." He said on the phone and then he hung up. He went to her and kissed her lips.

She went to their bed and sat there as she reached her lotion. She watched him brush his teeth. She exhaled and reached her chest. What she saw a while ago kept hunting her. But he already came home safe. She heard gunshots and two bikers cornering him and a car behind him. She wiped her tears quickly, but it kept flowing. The f.u.c.k.i.n.g hormones are making her cry.

Dmitri caught her crying and he immediately came up to her and scooped her face.

"What's wrong?"

"Did something happen?" She asked as she tears up. "Tell me."

Dmitri couldn't deny it to her. She might've already seen it before he knew.

"I am in good condition. Freya came to back me up with an additional bodyguard from Andromeda. He followed me on the way here with Freya."

She wiped her snots and then nodded at him. Then she wrapped her arms around his waist and shoved her face to his middle chest. He patted her head to comfort her. He said that there's no counterattack. But seeing how his wife become like this makes his heart clenched. He will let this pass but if she saw something again, he will make a great counterattack.

His phone chimes and he ignored it. He tucked her to bed and then he grabbed a bottle glass of water. She waited for him and she sipped on the water. She lay down and he took his phone as he checked the message.

The logo of the Eagle Empire appears with an invitation to have the first experience in their Hotel Resort. He ignored it and he will probably check it tomorrow when the sun is up.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Just some hotel, love."

"Let me see."

He showed it to her, and she nodded at the luxurious hotel. There's a pool, spa and sports court. They are also had conference halls and seminar halls.

"It's new?"

"Yes."

She checked the restaurants and they got a handsome chef, and few are celebrities.

"We aren't going there." He told her. She looked up at him quizzically.

"Why?"

"It's not safe." He kissed her forehead. She just agreed with him since she knew that he's doing it to protect her.

"Can you make love to me?"
