Chapter 444 - Short Time Part 1

Moira woke up with pins and needles on her head. She turned on her side and reached the handsome man beside her. He pulled her and kissed her forehead.

"Good morning, beautiful."

"Hmm." She groaned. "I need water. I need a bathroom." She murmured. He gently pushed her away and then he sat up. He slipped off from the bed and he carried her to the bathroom. She opened her eyes and she sat on the toilet bowl. He left the bathroom to give her time.

"Do you want some tea? I'll ask them to make a hangover soup."

"Yeah." She yawned and after she peed. She washed and took the robe to cover her body.

She walked out of the bathroom and throw her body on the bed. He gently positioned her on the correct sleeping position, and he snuggled to her.

"Let's go for island hopping?" He murmured to her ear.

"I am too lazy to do that."

"How about shopping?"

"I'll just sleep. Don't bug me."

"I take a day off today." He skimmed her stomach up to her b.r.e.a.s.ts.

"I don't care…" She mumbled. She pushed his hand away, but he skimmed it down between her legs.

"Let me make it up to you." He nibbled her ear and then reached her down there.

"Get me some water first." She tapped him.

"Got it!"

He went to the small fridge and get a glass bottle then he opened the cap and gave it to her. She sat up and sipped on it. He put it away and he smiled as he scooped her cheek and started sucking her lips and tongue.

"I need some lube." She muttered.

"Yesss… I missed you so much." He crawled down between her legs.

"Make it quick." She said breathlessly.

Kathleen heard that Andromeda gave birth and then in their family dinner, she saw how the girls take care of their babies. It's a very envious scenario when they all have an amazing partner. She wished to have one, but somehow, someone already got him.

Andy had Zachary and that Love-girl had Andrew. All she could do is to be a good girl and follow her father. So, she won't be able to get kicked out of the family.

7 months later,

Andel had resigned from Gabriel and he gave him what he wanted. It's been 7 months after he resigned and now, they are still buddies together and Andromeda. He has been helping Ellen in the expansion of her restaurant and for their future.

He's not just helping Ellen but also helping Andromeda on lots of things. He's also helping Dmitri by working as a Shadow of the Dragon Empire. By being a Shadow, it means that it was dangerous. Ellen will be in danger and he needed to protect her no matter what cost.

He's still disguising well, and he wasn't showing everyone that he's Ellen's fiancé. If he did, they might start investigating him, and if they find out that a Shadow is Dragon.

"When are we going to tell Zach?" She asked as she served him snacks. He reached the juice and take a sip on it.

"What?" He asked and continue typing on his computer.

"Time flies so fast, aren't we going to tell Zach and everyone that we are getting married?" She sat beside him and then she looked at him.

He's too busy to notice her.

Ellen sighed. She stood and left. It's like a short time. Their second anniversary is tomorrow, and they should get married later.

She went to their bedroom and she reached out to the small box that has a ribbon on top. It's her gift tomorrow and she didn't know if he remembered it. She opened it. She's nervous. What if he won't like it? What if he got mad?

She stopped from overthinking when Andel's phone started ringing like hell. He answered it shortly and after that, she heard the smashing of things and the computer.

"Ellen!" He shouted.

She ran out of the room and he's breaking the brain of the computer and he's unplugging the server.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Go get your gadgets and other things. We are leaving."

"What?"

He grabbed his briefcase and punk coat. Then eyeglasses. It must be an emergency, so she ran to their room and gather her gadgets. Andel told her not to put any photos in their house for safety purposes. They left and he held her tight as they enter the elevator.

"Please tell me what's happening." She pleaded. He scooped her face and kissed her forehead. He hugged her tightly and pulled the hood of the jacket that she's wearing.

"It's fine, baby girl." He hugged her and then they left the penthouse. Andel looked over a few men that entered the elevator building.

He hugged her and take her to the parking lot.

Andromeda is packing her things and she glanced at her baby who is sitting and checking the compass that she took. She exhaled and watched her for a little while. Zendaya's beautiful Grey eyes looked up at her and she took the compass to her mouth and smiled at her.

"That's dirty, love." She gently took it and wiped it. She bent down and kissed her lips. "Mommy is leaving, and you should look after your Daddy. Don't let him drink a lot of alcohol while I am gone."

She took out a small round pendant of a golden Dragon Empire Emblem and then he put it on her neck.

"Take care of this. You are the next heiress to lead the Dragon Empire."

"Da…" She lifted the pendant.

"Yes. It's Dragon."

She packed her bag and then she looked at the door where Zachary is standing.

"Hey!"

"You are leaving."

"Yes." She said and took Zendy to her arms.

"Why do you have to leave so early?" He asked and he hugged her from behind.

"They need me." She murmured.

Andy's heartache seeing the vision a while ago. Andel didn't know yet and they were in great danger a while ago. Good thing that they left earlier, and he destroy it all.

Ellen and Andel reached the parking lot and he pulled the cover from his pick-up truck and suddenly the alarm started wailing inside.

"What's that?" She asked. Andel gently pushed her inside the car and he walked around to the driver's seat.

Soon, Andel is driving away and she looked up where smoke is coming from their floor and their penthouse.

"Andel,"

"I burn it all. They detected me. They are coming to kill me, and I can't let them kill you too." He reached her hand and kissed it. He exhaled as he relaxed as he drove.

"Who?"

"Probably from the Dragon Empire." He muttered.

"What?"

"El, there's so much going on and there's a secret operation in the Dragon Empire. They are trying to take the Empire and take our money and put us down. Probably kill us."

El exhaled and reached her stomach.

"Stay with your parents first or your grandpa. It's better than staying alone and away from people that could protect you."

"But—we are to tell them, right?"

"El, I'm sorry." He kissed her hand. "We will tell them."

Ellen is quiet until they reached her parents' house. Angela greets them and she stopped, seeing Andel with her daughter. She already found it out since then. Andel took her things and then he held her hand as they entered the house.

"Okay, so, what's up?" Angela asked.

"Ellen needs to stay here. She shouldn't be alone." Andel said.

"Andel, what are you talking about?" Ellen frowned at him. He faced her and scooped her face.

"Baby promise me not to be alone. I need to leave. Everything is chaotic right now." He murmured.

"I'll just go get some drinks." Angela said and was about to leave.

"Mrs. Pattinson." Andel faced her. "I will marry your daughter. I promise to marry her, and I will after I assure you that there will be no threat."

Angela stopped and looked at Andel's sincere eyes. 

Ellen started tearing and she sobbed and smacked his chest.

"Where are you going?" She shouted at him. Andel quickly scooped her face and wiped her tears.

"Hey, baby girl." He muttered in a hoarse voice. "I need to leave." He kissed her forehead.

She took out the box from her bag and gave it to him. Andel stared at it.

"It's our second anniversary tomorrow." She said. "Are you leaving today?"

"I have to."

"Open it."

"Baby girl," He muttered.

Rafael went downstairs and found a very odd scenario. He creased his brows seeing the couple.

"Open it, damn it!" Ellen scolded him. Andel opened it quickly and pulled out a white strip. It has two red lines and he looked at him. "I'm sorry." She murmured. "I missed my shot and I don't want to have it again."

"We—we are going to have a baby?" Andel asked as he gently reached her stomach. Ellen nodded. "Baby girl, don't be sorry." He scooped her face and kissed her.

Angela sighed and smile. Rafael cleared his throat and Andel pushed himself away from a little.

"Stay with your parents or your grandpa. Make sure that you are secured." He looked at Rafael and approached him. "Mr. Pattinson,"
