Chapter 422 - Depression

Andrew pulled his pillow and hugged it tightly as he stared at the little light behind the curtains. It's noon and he hasn't been going out of his room. He rarely eats and he didn't know when the last time was, he saw his fiancée. There are so many memories in his condo and so he sells it and stays in the house that his father gave to him.

In this house, he already set up their future room and the baby's room. However, it's a good thing that they haven't bought anything for the fake baby. It's such a waste that his dreams to be a father just faded like that.

"How long are you going to stay there?"

He lifted his head to the direction of the door where Zachary is standing. He glanced at his watched and looked around the darkroom.

"You haven't been in the company for a week."

"You can fire me." He murmured and he went back to drown himself into misery.

"Yeah. I can probably do that." Zachary said and he strode to him. "Get up and take a damn bath. Everything is a mess in this damn house though there's only minimal furniture."

"I don't want to." Andrew murmured in a hoarse voice. He hasn't been talking for a few weeks and somehow, it's hard to talk. 

"You are also losing your packs of abdominal."

Zachary smacked the back of his head.

"Let's go downstairs. Ellen and Mom prepared a lot of foods for you."

"I don't want to eat."

"For now, you are thinking that you don't want to eat. But as soon as you smell the food you'll be famished. And by the way, the girls that cooked their specialty for you are the girls that won't ever break your damn heart. So, get your pretty ass downstairs and eat."

Andrew sat up and sighed. He felt dizzy since he's been lying and sleeping and drinking less water and eating less. But as soon as they arrived at the dining room, the smell of famishing dishes enters his nostrils. They indeed prepared his favorites for him. He's such a lucky bastard to be with this kind of family. They welcome him though he's a half-blood.

"Eat the soup first. Ellen put enough spices on it."

Andrew took his spoon and take a sip on the soup. It was great and the spiciness runs down his throat to warm his body. He took another after another.

"What are you doing here, by the way?"

"Andy said that if I don't visit, you'll die in starvation. She said that you are too lazy to get your food and wiped your ass."

Andrew laughed and nodded. Andy has a great sense of humor. He was once in love with her. She was his first love, but it all goes to Zachary. They are matched together, and Andy doesn't deserve a bastard like him

He continued eating slowly and enjoy each dish.

"I want you to take over our Branch in America." He said and Andrew stopped. It's like a dream come true. "Percy wanted to stay in this country rather than going there.

"Why me?" He asked.

"You are my brother and I trust you. Besides, your performance is outstanding. You should take it over." He said as he reached the plate of beefsteak and took a piece of it.

"Really?"

"Yeah." Zachary nodded. "You also need to tidy up. We are going out for boy's night out at Freya's Club."

"Oh." Andrew froze from eating. "Did Andy let you?"

"Yeah." He winked and lifted his phone. "I just received a pass for clubbing. But I will not be able to touch any girls. My hands are only for her." He said.

Andrew laughed and shook his head. Surely, Andy did well on securing that.

***

They arrived in the Club and there's Fin, Dmitri, Steven, Stanley, Percy, and James. They had gathered up and they cheered up Andrew by letting him choose a woman. Women came to them and all of them looked at the new camera that has been installed. Dmitri cleared his throat and looked at them.

"I can't crack it," Andel said that just arrived. "Maybe Moira put it there."

"Moira?" Alanis entered the room as he went to the sofa to sit and crossed his legs.

"Let's just drink up!" Percy lifted the mug of beer.

"No girls," Andrew said.

So, all they do is drink and talked about their wives, fiancées, and girlfriends. But whatever they are talking about, Andel started talking about the girl of his dreams and how he was head over heels. Not knowing that Zach is listening attentively, and he knew exactly who he is talking about.

"So, how many times you guys had s.e.x?" Percy asked with a grin. Andel's grin grew wider and Zachary is ready to smack him off.

Fin cleared his throat.

"It's like every night when I arrived at work. And if she's tired and I am too tired, we would just cuddle. But we make sure that during the weekend, we have each other."

Zachary clenched his fist and he smacked Andel's head hard.

"Ow!" Andel rubbed the back of his head. "That hurts." He pouted at him and he snuggled to him. Zachary tried hard to get him off, but he just couldn't.

Andrew laughed out loud watching them. They are hilarious and this night's out is fun. Taking away his depression. But after this, he will be alone again.

So, he just enjoyed it until it lasts, and everyone is already sleeping on the sofa because they are drunk, but he wasn't. The waitress that served them is familiar to him and he wanted her. So, he went to where she usually stayed, and she entered the girl's locker.

She turned to him and she screamed but he covered her mouth.

"It's me," Andrew muttered. She pushed him and covered her chest.

"Andrew?" She frowned at him.

"Love." He muttered.

"What do you want?" She turned back to him and put her shirt on.

"We haven't seen each other for a while."

"Yeah." She said nonchalantly. He grabbed her waist and shove his face to her neck. "Stop it!" She hissed and pushed him away. "You are engaged and going to be a father and how dare you do this to me."

He chuckled and he laughed as he leaned on the lockers. The woman glared at him and she took her jacket on. He's crazy. He's full of bullshit. He grabbed her cheek and kissed her hungrily. She restrained from him and she pushed him finally and he leaned on the lockers and he sat on the floor.

"What is wrong with you?"

"I am not going to be a father and my fiancée is a f.u.c.k.i.n.g assassin." He said. "I killed her." He muttered.

She doesn't know what to feel. The man that caught everyone's attention looks like a broken boy.

"I'm sorry about what happened."

"It's fine. I—I just couldn't get over with it. It's just… I am ready to be a father and I am ready to get tied to her and suddenly, she nearly killed Selina's baby. She nearly got everyone killed and I brought her to our family."

"Don't be so down, asshole. You got your family backing you."

"Yeah right." He muttered.

"I mean it. Your brothers are there for you… even your father is supporting you and his wife."

He looked up at her. She's right. He had the whole Pattinson family while she doesn't. She's also a bastard and she was neglected. She crawled to college and support herself without getting any support from others and she worked her ass hard just to get money. While he is living like a Prince in the mansion and had a luxurious hobby.

"I can't drive." He muttered and he pulled her Jaguar and toss it to her.

"Didn't you come here with your brothers?" She frowned at him.

"They are already knocked out and probably stay there for a while."

She exhaled and nodded. She took her bag and then he helped him, holding his arm so he won't stumble. Soon, they are in the parking lot and she clicked the remote. They strode to the white Jaguar and she helped him to the passenger seat. Andrew taught her how to drive and their relationship started as buddies.

He told her to drive to his house and she doesn't f.u.c.k.i.n.g know where it is. He gave her instructions and then she just drive. Then, soon, they arrived at a luxury subdivision and passes a few big houses until they reached a big house with their lawn.

He took the remote and unlock the gate as it slid open. She drove to the parking lot and she parks it nicely together with his other cars and bike. She turned off the engine and she walked around the car and helped him.

"I will borrow one of your cars." She said as soon as they entered the house.

"You can stay." He said and he locked the door.

"What are you doing?" She frowned at him.

"It's not like we haven't done it."

"You are just drunk and dumb." She walked past him but he grabbed her and pushed her to the sofa.
