"Elsa was right," Rachael muttered.

"About what?"

"That her room is the smallest." Though the room was filled with simple decor, it was bigger than Elsa's room.

"It's bigger but it's very simple." Andrew hugged her from behind. "Nothing extravagant."

"I like it." She leaned against his chest. "It feels very cosy and nice."

"Do you know what is the best part of this?" When she shook her head, he kissed her nape before whispering, "The bed."

"It's soft, bouncy and it's big so we can roll around as much as we want." He brushed his lips against her neck before pressing his lips against it.

"Andrew, it tickles--" Rachael chuckled when he started trailing kisses down her neck.

Without saying anything, he scooped her into his arms. "I cannot wait to show you my soft bed."

"Andrew--" She hooked her arms around his neck. "Did you forget?"

"What?" When she raised her brows, he frowned, "What did I forget?"

He placed her on the bed and pinned her down. "What is it babe?" He asked as his hands lifted her dress up.

She slapped his chest followed by his hands. "My periods started the day before yesterday."

When Andrew frowned, she remarked, "You were the one who got me tampons, remember?"

He pursed his lips and sighed. How could he forget?

"I forgot." He quickly flipped over and pulled her in his embrace. "Third day, right?"

She nodded and snuggled closer. "Three more days."

"Hmmm." He kissed the top of her head. "At least I'll get my cuddles."

Rachael smiled and wrapped her leg around him. "I missed you a lot last night."

"Me too." He sighed." Rach, I promise what happened the day before yesterday will never happen again. I'll be more careful."

"It's not your fault." She looked at him. "If I hadn't lied to you, this would have never happened.".

"I will never do it again." She buried her face on his chest.

"Yes, don't keep such things away from me." Keeping quiet for a while, he said, "Rach, these people are very good at manipulating others and they are good at lying too. They will say things which you feel are right but they're not."

"I'll always be there and make sure that you are safe but you also have to be careful."

Rachael sighed and nodded. "I'll try to be careful next time. I won't cause any trouble." She still felt bad and guilty for disturbing everyone.

"Nothing related to you is trouble." He kissed the top of her head. "You will always be my top priority."

She smiled and was about to say something when Andrew's phone started ringing.

"One sec." He took out his phone from his pocket and as soon as he saw a familiar number flashing on the screen, he quickly tossed his phone away.

Initially Rachael ignored it but when the phone kept ringing, she inquired, "Why aren't you receiving it?'

"It's not important."

"Maybe it is." She looked at him. It was almost past ten, why would anyone call someone this late if it wasn't important?

"It's not." He pinched her cheeks. "Can we just ignore everything for tonight? I just want to hug you to sleep."

The whole kidnapping fiasco had scared him. Even though he knew his grandmother's men wouldn't harm her, he couldn't help but worry. He was anxious during the entire flight and only felt relieved when he saw her.

She nodded and snuggled closer.

After a few minutes, the ringing stopped. A few seconds later his phone started pinging continuously.

Initially Rachael ignored it but when it did not stop, she frowned wondering who it was.

But Andrew showed no interest or intention of checking his phone. He just kept hugging her and playing with her fingers.

"You are not gonna check your phone?"

He sighed and picked up his phone. He then unlocked it in front of her.

She raised her brows and sat up straight when she saw 37 new messages from an unknown number, some of which read:

[I heard you are back, why didn't you call me?]

[You are back after such a long time, can we meet?]

[Seriously you have to meet me otherwise I'll come to wherever you are]

[You have no idea how much I missed you Andy, I am glad you are finally back]

[I cannot wait to see your handsome face again. I have been dying to look at it again]

"I didn't know you have such a close friend here in Russia." Rachael laid down on her side of the bed.

"She is not a close friend." He pulled her closer. "She is not even a friend."

Keeping quiet for a while, she inquired, "That's Alina, right?"

"Why are we suddenly talking about her?" Andrew frowned. "What part of 'I want to hug you to sleep' did you not understand babe?"

Rachael placed her hand on his chest and moved away. She then turned to the other side before covering herself with the quilt.

She was mad. Even though she knew the messages weren't his fault, she was still mad.

Who wouldn't be bothered if their man receives an uncountable number of messages from a woman late at night?

Andrew sighed and helplessly shook his head. This is why he didn't want to touch his phone.

As soon as he saw the number, he understood it was Alina and when the messages started flooding, he knew it was her being crazy all over again.

She had been doing it for years now and he was used to ignoring it. But he forgot Rachael wasn't.

I hope everyone is doing okay.

The book is still in the testing phase. It has 60+ chapters as of now.

The name of the book is 'Her Double Trouble'. (As the name suggests, it's a love triangle)
