Chapter 48 - Not a good time.

As soon as the call was connected and secure, she try to made her way to the base only to encounter another group of MUTINY. Which almost made her curse that instance.

"Damn it." Unknowingly she said it out loud.

"That's a nice way of picking call from your husband. Did i disturb your rest, wife?" Tristan low voice can be heard from the connected call. She almost gave another curse when she heard his voice. She dodge another punch before landing a kick to the opponent causing him to grunt in pain. She took the chance to land another punch and chop his neck making the person passed out.

"Dear, sorry. I bumped my toe on the desk and you know how irritating that kind of pain can be. Sorry. I didn't mean to curse you." She said in between her fight with the relentless opponent. They just keep on coming.

"Honey, why you're still awake? I thought we agreed that you would not stay up late. It's almost 3 in the morning."

Alicia just realize she got herself trapped by her sly husband. She coughed a couple of times while thinking for a perfect excuses and fighting at the same time. She can even hear Uno is mocking her with his snicker. This is really not a good time to pick up her husband's call.

"That,,,ermmm,,,just not used without you sleeping by my side." She gave her solid reason.

"Really? Why does it feel like my wife is doing something that i'm not happy with?" It wasn't just a simple question. But after seeing Farrah's picture taken doing something dangerous, he felt like something was amiss. Especially when it comes to his wife. He have every reasons to doubt his own wife. Not cheating but something dangerous. Illegal. The adventurous and wild side of her always worries him back then. And after they got married, Alicia have become too docile. In fact too obedient to his liking. That's not the person that he's been watching over for years.

"Why would you say that?" She punched hard on the opponent's face as if venting her frustration and her anxiousness over Tristan's question.

"My instinct." He replied.

Alicia felt like his instinct is too correct and it gives her shivers. She laughed awkwardly.

"Dear, do you think i would cheat on you?"

"I'm not worried about that since i'll just destroy every men who laid their eyes on you. What i'm worried about is my wild, adventurous wife has become docile like a cat lately that it doesn't goes well." He heard another curse and he can hear her panting hard which made his brows furrowed deeper. He made a sign to locate Alicia's whereabouts to Ralph.

"How could you say that to your wife? I am the most sweet loving obedient wife you'll ever get. No one can compare to me. I'm always good to you." She was panting since talking or should she say, coaxing her husband is more tiring than defeating the relentless enemies. She had to call for a backup otherwise her cover will get blown up.

Tristan, being the most attentive husband could hear every changes in her voice. His brows just gets deeper as he look at Ralph wanting results. Ralph felt like he's doing S-class mission. Locating his sister's phone signal is like breaching into another country's top secret. He was anxious. Why in the world would his sister has such a top notch security on her phone.

Alicia could hear Uno berating her about someone is trying to locate her whereabouts through the phone signal. She felt like she's going to have big headache anytime soon. Or maybe right now. Dealing with her husband is one thing, fighting against the enemies is another and now someone is trying to locate her?

'Give me a break.' She mumble to herself.

"Honey, are you listening? Why are you mumbling to yourself? I can't hear you clearly. And why is it noisy there? As if there's people fighting."

Tristan's voice bring back Alicia to her situation at the moment. Seeing there's three more people to take care of, she uses her special skill to take down all three simultaneously. She let out a sigh. Relief that she's finally free from one of the problems.

"Is this better? I had the TV on and was concentrating on the fight scene. You know how much i love action movie. Didn't realize the volume was too loud. What were you saying,dear?"

"Xero!!! They're getting onto you. Hang up the call already." Uno finally exploded. Her other ear felt like it's about to be deaf. She desperately wanted to curse someone at the moment. So, she vent all her annoyance towards the fainted enemies.

On her other ear, Tristan voice seem calm and repeated what he was saying a moment ago.

"I was saying, i'll be finishing early so i might be able to come to you and we'll go home together or have our second honeymoon."

"No." She immediately rejected the idea and had to slapped her mouth shut knowing she has fallen into another trap. She could feel the coldness creeping around her, as the back of her head felt like something pulled her hair.

"I mean,,,i'm pregnant. Okay, bye." She immediately hung up the call and wanting to really knocked her head on the wall. Why did she do that? Why did she tell him that? Things will really be complicated this time. She looked at the almost dead enemies and had to stomp them hard as she blamed it on them for blocking her path.

"If you have hidden yourself, you wouldn't be dead." She gritted her teeth and left the place to head back to Googol's main base. Uno will be her next target.
