Chapter 65 - When Husband Get Dangerous Part 2 (1/2)
Instead of going back to their house, Zach brought her to their resthouse to celebrate her Uncle Edmond's birthday. She already had a ready dress for her to wear and it's already prepared in the resthouse located on a beach.
It only took them two hours to get there since he's driving the motorbike. They got there and everyone is settling and guests are lining up. He parked the motorbike while she's waiting for him.
They went to their room. She took a warm shower first and dress up. He's already dressed up for the event. Zach helped her up with her hair and her dress. He kept teasing her but she isn't in the mood and she's on her period.
Ellen knocked on the door and enter the room with her makeup kit. She put powder on her face, lipstick, and mascara. That's it and she's done. Zach escorted her outside and it's already crowded.
”Andy!” James came running and took her, twirling her around, put her down and kissed her forehead. ”Where the f-ck have you been?” He asked.
”James, don't mind me.” She waved off and looked at Moira in her white dress. She dressed simply and still her beauty is stunning. No need makeup to highlight her beauty. That's what a real Mondragon is. Then she looked at Kathleen who made sure that her makeup is perfect.
”Moira.” Zach greeted her and shook her hand. ”Well--I guess she's your date tonight?” Zach asked James. James looked at Moira and patted her head.
”She's my little sister beside Andy. But she babysits me more than I babysit her… Anyway--your loverboy isn't here?” James grinned at Moira.
Moira rolled her eyes and she accidentally looked at Edmond Mondragon. Her real father. Well, he doesn't know at all. Because General Mondragon hides her from everybody for her safety. She's eager to have a father but--she must endure everything to make her grandpa proud of her.
”We will be going,” Andy said and looked at Moira one last time implying something.
Moira told James that she's going to grab some drinks. She took a glass of wine and looked at her grandfather on the main seat talking to people, besides him are his children, Aaron the firstborn, next is the birthday celebrant and her father Edmond, his daughters Andrea and Cersei.
Around them are family. She wanted to have a family like them. They look so happy but behind it, everyone is scheming behind each--mostly their in-laws. Stabbing each other's back for the sake of the big amount of inheritance.
Most guests are from the army since Edmond had become a General three years ago. She looked at Andromeda. Everyone knows that Andromeda has the most of the Old General's inheritance so everyone wanted to kill her over the sum of money. She pities her somehow but Andromeda has been shaped up by their grandfather.
”What are you thinking?” Steve Mondragon-Smith, son of Andrea Mondragon asked.
”None of your business.” She said coldly.
Steven Mondragon-Smith had a twin brother Stanley-Mondragon Smith. Their father is an American who loved their mother Andrea so much. She never saw anything scandalous in their family. Andrea is very lady. She could be a perfect housewife and muse at the same time. Nothing's wrong with their family at all.
”Aren't you afraid to get fired?”
”James can't fire me.” She smirked. Steve thought dirty about her.
”You are James's little lover.” He said. She looked straight at him.
”James is not my type. He's just my boss and if you think that I am interested in a Mondragon--I think you should think again because I have no interest in anyone.” She said casually.
”Okay.” He said.

Andy wanted to leave badly but she's Zach's wife and she should be with him. But she's so bored. The celebration started and there are little speeches for Edmond. Andy watched Kathleen steal the light and say sweet things toward Edmond and her mother Paula.
