Chapter 344 - Royal Game Part 3
Alanis's hands are shaking in anger. He tried hard not to reach the gun. The car is driving fast then it can be didn't care if any stalls have been smashed. When he arrived, men with masks had gathered and he told his men to corner those assassins and even the two snipers on the building.
He stepped out of his car. His eyes are burning in anger and Lebedov's assassins stepped out as Alanis make a way to his queen. Ivana saw him and she started tearing so Alanis could pity her, but he showed no mercy. He stood in front of Moira.
"Having fun, darling?" He asked. Moira smirked and caressed the back of the knife to Ivana's neck.
"Almost."
"Do you want to kill her?" Alanis asked.
"Badly."
"You can kill her. I'll deal with Lebedov." He said coldly. Moira laughed and she pushed Ivana away. She played on the knife checking.
Alanis glared at Ivana murderously and her bodyguard came and helped her up. She pushed her bodyguard and she screamed in annoyance. Moira is calm and she laughed at how she threw tantrums.
"You see, Ivana. I will let this off." She said. "I had fun, but you just interrupted by shopping." She glared at her. Ivana scoffed and wiped the fake tears that she made.
"Tell your men to step out, or else, I'll declare war right here," Alanis said it aloud. Ivana turned back as his men disperse.
Moira checked the knife and she smirked. Alanis took the knife and gave it to one of her bodyguards. Then he scooped her face and checked if she got scratched.
"I am fine." She said.
"What was that?" Winston asked as he watched Ivana left. "Is she trying to kill you?" He asked Moira.
"Obviously. This is her second strike." She said and glared at Ivana. "I will talk to Adrian about this. Or Andy is probably talking to Adrian at this moment."
"I am dead to your brother if he knows about this." He pulled her into his arms and her bodyguards covered them.
"I am not done with my shopping!" She pouted at him.
"You are done shopping for today." He carried her and they covered an umbrella as Alanis take her inside the sedan.
"Al-babe!" She complained.
"No." he pulled her closer to him. "You nearly died two times now. Your brother is going to kill if he knows about this."
"Okay!" She snuggled to him. "But I need to buy something for Grandpa and Dad."
"I will settle that."

Fin kissed Selina's forehead and covered the duvet over her shoulder. She held his hand not letting him go. But he needed to go to meet his men. He kissed her hand and then he pressed his lips.
"My love, I need to go."
"You need to be careful." She said. "Keep your phone close to you and text me every hour."
"I will." He kissed her lips. "Sleep now."
"I'll wait for you."
"Okay." She gently sat up to kissed him passionately.
Fin left the house using his motorbike and drive to the Club. He used the backdoor and they let him enter and one of his men escorted him to their conference room. The conference room is bigger that could fit in all the captains and commanders. They salute to him and he salutes back as he strode to his chair and he motioned them to sit down.

Freya gets up early in the morning and to start her daily morning tai-chi exercise. Then after getting sweat, she relaxed her muscles as she drank a lot of water. She received an email from Wren and send her their daily warm-up and sparring. She nodded.
She called Moira and she answered shortly.
"Did you kill the Eagle Princess?"
"I almost did," Moira said. "Alanis said that I could kill her—he will deal with the Eagle himself. But it will be very chaotic, so I don't want that issue to take all of his time."
"Hmm. Your man is letting you kill anyone and even help you bury the body at your backyard."
"If I kill the bitch—it will take all of Alanis's time and he won't be able to accompany me on my every need. Like sex. I always crave for sex since I feel bored all the time."
Freya laughed and shook her head.
"Whatever Moira. I will get ready for some business."
"When are you going back to the Philippines?"
"I don't know. It will take a lot of time."
"I'll just see you then. I need to go. We are heading back."
"Take care." She hung up and then she went to the bathroom to take a nice bath. She dried her hair and somehow when she saw her bed—she felt sleepy. After drying her hair, she closed the blinds and she went to bed to sleep.
But the bad thing about sleeping is a dream. A hot lewd dream of Steven. He's taking her from behind, he's between her legs, licking and sucking her and he's everywhere. Steven murmured his I love you's and she will not respond. She woke up feeling wet and aroused.
"Damn it!" She grabbed her phone and ready to call him. But she stopped herself. She rubbed her head. Why did she get involved with him?
***
Steven finished a few documents and he left. He went to the training center and work his body. He didn't stop for two hours and if Aaron didn't come up to stop him, he would break his body. He told him to take relax and bath himself and they need to talk.
He did as what his Uncle said and then they left the training center to Dmitri's restaurant and he ordered a lot of food for him.
"Eat. You work yourself out and then you eat a little. You need to balance it for you to get enough strength."
"Yes, uncle." He muttered and obeyed him submissively. Aaron shook his head and he wanted to slap hard Steven.
"Do you want me to track Freya?"
Steven looked up at him.
"I can track her."
"Can you do that?"
"I will. You need to eat first."

Six Weeks Later
Freya put the beautiful leather jacket that Andy send to her with a note saying that it will protect her so she should use it. It was quite heavy but she liked how heavy it is. It's comfortable and she can move freely using it.
She looked at herself in the mirror to check her outfit. Good. Her ding-dong bell rang, and she strode to the wall to check the person. Wren again. She expected him to come. He always brought food and whatever to her. He's somehow trying to woo her, but she rejected him on the spot.
She opened the door and he entered. The fishy smell of the food enters her nostrils and she held her nose.
"What the hell is that?" She scolded him.
"It's Chinese food."
"Get it out." She said and the acid stirred up on her stomach. She stormed to the bathroom to the sink and started puking. But nothing comes out since she hasn't eaten anything. She washed her mouth and reached the damp towel.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Just get it out. Open the air filter." She said and close the door. Damn that smell.
She stopped. Why is she being sensitive all these weeks? She ran outside to her bag. The bag that she brought with her and checked the pills. Fuck! She hasn't taken it. She slumped down on the floor and thought about the endless lovemaking she had with Steven. At those time—she had forgotten to take pills.
"Fuck." She murmured.
She immediately grabbed her purse and her cap, then she stormed out the room.
"Hey!"
She immediately went inside the elevator and click the parking area. She kept tapping on her crossed arms until it opens. She immediately rushed to her SUV and use it to drive to the pharmacy. She quickly entered and searched for the damn pregnancy kit test. She grabbed a box of it that consist of at least a dozen of the strip.
Then she just saw a bar of chocolate and scooped it with one hand. She adjusted her eyeglasses as she waited for her turn. She put the box and the chocolate on top of it and the pharmacists scanned it. She gave a hundred-dollar bill and they packed it for her.
She strode fast outside to her car, and she stopped to calm herself. Her heart is pounding. She reached her navel that seemed to be a little bloated. She exhaled and take a bar of chocolate and drive back to the house.
Wren is still there, and the smell of her penthouse is lemon. Good.
"Are you okay? Do you want me to buy something else?" He asked.
"I am fine."
She strode fast to the bathroom and take all the dozen strips of the pregnancy test kit. She waited for it and seeing the same results makes her pale.
