Chapter 450 - Rangers in the Night Part 1

After they changed rooms, Andromeda let Moira sleep while she's monitoring the CCTV Cameras that Moira hacked. She made sure that the charger is plugged, and the air conditioner is cool enough so the computer wouldn't overheat.

Fin knocked on their door and she opened it for him.

"We need to talk," Fin muttered.

Andy gestured on the sofa then he sat beside her.

"Are you certain about your plans?" Fin asked. "As of now, Yves is in rage and Adrian Lebedov is—in Russia talking to his father at this moment and he will kill you." He whispered.

"I know." She said and looked at Moira. "If he will kill me, protect Moira. She's the next in the throne."

"Don't throw your life like that." Fin hissed at her. "You have a daughter and a husband waiting for you. We both have a family…"

Andy's heart clenches just thinking of her little angel waiting for her and Zachary who would die for her. She closed her eyes hard.

"Yes, I know. If I didn't do this. It will be more chaotic. They will kill us with one blow. They will wipe out each innocent people. Fin, I know that this is hard, but sacrificing will be so much better than risking everyone. You have a daughter and an upcoming baby. Selina is waiting for you. One day, we both might wake up in the morning without them on our sides… those babies? They didn't know what's happening. They should be out there and live their life… and all of our future for them will disappear if Lebedov would take over our country and this world."

Andy exhaled and reached Fin's hand.

"Trust me on this, I can't risk any of you."

"But—what us? Phoenix?"

"You are stronger than this, Fin. You own a soldier. You have Freya, you have Dmitri. And Andel? He's the control." She winked.

"I trust you." He said.

"Good. Now, have a good sleep. We will have a long journey tomorrow."

Fin nodded and he left the room and went back to Andel's room. He's already snoring and then his phone is ringing. He woke up and answered it.

"Big bear." Ellen's sweet voice comes from the phone. Andel smiled at her and closed his eyes.

"Hey, baby girl."

"Did I interrupt your sleep?"

"Hmm."

"Let me just watch you sleep."

"Okay. I love you." He murmured.

Fin smiled and goes back to sleep. He kept a knife close to him and then everything falls into silence.

Adrian fixed his tie and then pushed back his hair. He knocked on the front of the double door. The Victorian mansion that he's living is already a hundred years old, but it's still looked so Royal.

"Come in." The man said. He entered the room and he closed it. He walked toward the desk.

"Father," He greeted. His father, Kirk Lebedov looked older than he last saw him.

He tossed the papers on the desk in front of him. He turned back from him and faced the full glass Victorian window in front of him.

"This is getting harder than we thought. We had prepared these for Decades." His voice is hoarse and sound angrier.

"What should I do, father?" He asked as he lowers his head. At this moment, he doesn't know what to do anymore. His business is slowly going down the ranking and all his operations in the Philippines have been destroyed. His business is going down, and the country is kicking him away.

"Dispatch the heiress first. Make it look like that the Phoenix killed a Dragon. In that way, it will be easy for us to conquer them. It will be easy for us to wash them out. From old to unborn."

"This will be hard, father." He said seeming to be hesitating.

"What? Are you afraid? Yves is near to find the place where Dragons hide their most important treasure. Do you still hesitate in this position?"

"No, father. It's not that."

"Your men are being slain by Phoenix. Are you afraid of fire?" He asked again. The man did not answer. "Kill Andromeda Mondragon. I know that she's the only Dragon that Alexandro trusted and shaped up. Without her, their Empire will collapse."

"I will set it, then."

Adrian turned back from his father and then he left the room. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Yes. This is Adrian. Are you still inside the facility of Dragon Empire?"

"Yes sir."

"Follow Andromeda Mondragon to Madagascar. Kill her. But you need to make a show that a Phoenix killed her. Probably, Freya. Make her kill Andromeda."

"Yes, sir."

Adrian did the right thing. He clenched his fist. Why is this happening? He closed his eyes hard and pressed his fingers to his forehead as he remembers in the party how they love each other and how they protect each other. Including those babies… they are innocents and his heart is shattering because of this. But his father—he can't just say no to it.

He never felt the love from his parents. He saw the way Andromeda laughed and play with her daughter Zendaya once. He also saw how Stanley helped his son Kale on building up and played with him as a real father would do.

He exhaled. He's doing the right thing. His father will be pleased if he accomplished it all.

Andy is staring outside the window. It's raining hard and they need to go in five hours.

"Hey, you need to sleep." Moira stretched her arms. "They didn't recognize us."

"I am waiting for Freya." She said.

"I will wait for her. You need to sleep."

Andy looked at his phone with Zachary and Zendaya on it. She missed them. But she's doing this for them as well. She doesn't want to be selfish. She needed to put up everyone first. The babies are innocents and she needed to end the Eagle Empire as soon as possible.

Her phone started ringing. She immediately went to the bathroom and answered it. She turned on the faucet so Moira wouldn't hear them.

"Sabrina,"

"Oh, hey! Wassap?"

"Don't you wassup me. I should be the one asking!" She hissed.

"I am pregnant and it's triplets."

"Wow, that's good. I want to have one too. I mean—three."

"Yeah—yeah, work it out, bitch."

"Okay, so the Eagle Empire is finally planning for my death."

"Yeah—Happy Condolence then," Sabrina said and laughed.

"Why are you so hyper? Did you just—eat a lot of chocolates."

"You guessed well. These babies wanted lots of chocolates and the other wants some—whatever! Okay, back to you… how should I plan for your funeral."

Andy scoffed. It was funny. They both knew that Andromeda would die in the end. It will be the end of a story and she will leave them all crying. Her heart clenches.

"Looked out for my baby girl and my Zachy."

"I will. Do you want a grand funeral? Because I am sure that we are going to held one."

Andy laughed.

"Please, stop making me laugh," Andy said sarcastically.

"I will help you with this. Even if you die. I will watch out your baby girl and help her shape up."

"She's the next heiress." She told.

"Don't worry. I protect the heiress."

"Thank you." Andy wiped her tears that just fall without her permission.

"Sure, don't worry about it." Sabrina hung up and Andy started sobbing as she leaned on the sink.

Yup. She's breaking down and it must be the last cry that she'll ever have.

It is raining hard and there's a loud rambling of thunder and lightning strikes from a distance. She stepped out of the rented car and she went to the main door of the hotel. She put her girly luggage and few crews helped her.

"Hi! I booked for a room in here." She said and she looked around and pushed her pink damp hair away. She smiled at them with her fake pink retainers.

"Miss—Maggie?" The receptionist asked.

"Yes! Yes!"

They escorted her to her room, and she pays a tip for the man that carried her luggage.

As soon as she arrived at her room, she started searching for cameras that are hidden or a bug using a scanner. She let the scanner around for a minute and then to the bathroom.

"You look cute." She got started when Andromeda just entered her room and she showed her the master-key. She wined at Freya and Freya exhaled and removed the retainers from her teeth.

"You didn't sleep?" Freya asked.

"I was about to sleep but I was waiting for you."

"How sweet." She removed her dump jacket and her shirt and skirt leaving her bra and panty. Andy slumped on her bed. "I'll just take a bath and we'll talk."

Andy waited in the bed while watching the footage of Zendaya as she sang along to the song that she's singing but she's using a sound to make a sound of talking. What a smart kid?

"Your daughter is so bright." Freya interrupted as she dried her hair. She sat at the edge of the sofa with a robe on her body.

"Freya, I had a vision of you—killing Moira." She said. Freya froze and stare at her for long.
