Chapter 183 - Catastrophe Part 1
Selina felt anxious as Fin become clingy and he wasn\'t in the right mind. She\'s on her period and she was supposed to be doing weird stuff like eating ice cream while drinking tea and crying over a comedy movie. But her man need her so instead of walking around, she took him back inside and asked him to help her change the bedsheets and he did.
He even put blanket covers so if ever she got leaked, they don\'t need to change the whole bed sheets.
He took the relief pads and plug it. Then he took a shower just to remove all of the stress leaving the door open so he could still see her and to make sure that she\'s safe.
He\'s becoming overprotective. But how can he relaxed when he saw how she died. There are ways for his beloved to die and the only thing he should do is to keep it from happening.
"Love, do you want some action or maybe a thriller?"
"Anything will do." He said and turned off the shower as he took the towel and dry himself. He put his shorts on and strode to the bed and spooned her as they watch whatever movie it was.
He tried to keep himself awake yet she already had fallen asleep and he slowly drifted to sleep.

Andromeda is standing in front of the mirror staring at herself as she thought about the weird dream. She washed her mouth and glanced at her husband who is struggling with the tie. She dried her face and her hand and strode to him to fix it.
"Thank you, my Goddess." he kissed her forehead. "I will be late later."
"Hmm. No problem, just come home."
"And..."
"What?" She looked up at him as she expertly fixed his tie.
"Have you check on your mom?"
"I will visit her today."
"I was planning to set dinner with your parents and brother... Just us..." He kissed her nose and he seemed to be clingy today. He can\'t stop kissing her.
"Okay." She smiled. "I\'ll have an important meeting tonight as well so I will be late as well."
She walked him to the door and watch him leave. She went back to their bedroom and thought about the dream.
Fin is on the cliff and in front of him is Selina wearing a white dress. The wind brushes through her hair as she smiled at him. But then, Fin is holding a gun and he pointed it directly to her heart.
"I love you," Selina said to him as a tear fall from her eyes. And then, Fin pulled the trigger and the bullet shot like a slow-motion right through her heart.
She gasped and massaged her head for a while. She reached her chest where her heart is located. She can\'t lose her cousin. She loved her and she\'s her family. Selina is just like her and like other Mondragons, they give their love with all of their hearts.
She reached her phone and still thought about her husband. She called him. He answered shortly.
"Miss me, so fast?" He teased.
"I am just thinking of you." She said. "Uhm, eat well. Okay?"
Zach is silent for a while from the other line. She was obvious around him. He already noticed that something was wrong.
"What\'s worrying you?" He asked.
"It\'s just, bad dreams..."
"I know that you can avoid it all. You are my Goddess."
Andy held her chest. He just cheered her up.
"Thank you, Zach."
"I will always be here for you."
"I know. Message me when you get to your office."
"I will."

Fin sat up and reached for his phone. He received a message from Andromeda.
Meeting at 1900H, the usual.
He replied to her.
Copy.
He looked around and search for her.
"Love?" He called. She came out from the bathroom and pouted at him and then she strode to her closet.
"Don\'t come in here." She shouted.
"Okay, I won\'t."
Fin understand that she\'s on her red days so he let her and didn\'t mention sex.
"What do you want to eat then, love?" He strode to the walk-in closet and knock. "Do you want to go outside?"
"If you want." She came out shortly looked at him. "Do you want to go outside? Walk around? Shop or eat somewhere?"
"Sure." He scooped her face. "But you are in your red days so we can just stay here."
"Hmm."
"And I got a meeting conference tonight." He reached her lips and keep kissing her face.
"What?" She pouted. "You don\'t have to work at all. I can provide."
"Nope." He shook his head. "I am a man and I will provide on your every luxurious thing."
"I just want to be with you all the time."
"Love, you wouldn\'t miss me if we are always together."
She sighed and then snuggled on him.
"I just felt like we\'ve been apart for centuries."
He also felt the same. He pinched her cheek lightly and pressed his lips to her.

Kathleen hired one of the best lawyers for Nicholas. She used the money that she set aside for this kind of emergency and she also took some of his money for the payment of the lawyer. She kept herself from everyone\'s eyes and let the lawyer operate. The lawyer didn\'t even know her since she disguised well.
From afar, she watched as Nicholas get bailed out. His eyes are bloodshot and she wondered what they did to him that made him looked so bad like that. He got dark circles under his eyes and he looked so pale and thin.
He entered the car that she set for him and then she drove away and went directly to the apartment that she rented. She\'s covered up so no one could see her then in a few minutes, Nicholas came he slump on the sofa and he washed his hand through his face.
"I have to go back there."
"What?" She frowned. "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"They have Andromeda. I have to get her out there." He stood and check every corner of the apartment trying to find something.
"What?" She frowned. "Andromeda is the one that set this all up. She knew about the operation and she knows everything."
"They have her!" He insisted.
Kathleen gaped, baffled from his crazy actions.
