Chapter 15 - Wedding Dress Part 2
He immediately called his driver and he stormed out, telling his secretary that he got an emergency. He drove to the nearby hospital and asked the nurse in the reception area where she was. He went to the emergency room and found her there with a bandage on her head.
"What happened?" she looked drowsy and she reached his hand. He gently kissed her forehead that had bandages.
"A truck almost killed me." He frowned and called for a doctor.
"X-ray and CT scan and MRI for her. Do anything to make sure—"
"I'm fine now. You know that I know how to survive and protect myself in any kind of accident."
"It's just minor damage sir. But we'll do a CT-Scan on her."
The doctor explained that if there's a clot or something, the doctors immediately do every exam on her as Zachary told her. She'll have a minor concussion and side effects. She didn't take any medicine since she hates it, so the doctors injected it through the dextrose. He drove her back to his house instead of her grandpa's. He didn't want to let her grandpa worry about her. But he let him know about the minor accident. Her Audi was damaged and now on the repair. He will not let her drive alone ever again.
She removed all her clothes and washed up a little carefully not to wet her head. Then he helped her dry herself and she lay down on the bed naked. He made sure to her grandpa that she's fine. She's used to sleeping naked ever since even though it was cold. He would wrap her up with a thick blanket and the heater should be on, back then when they were in New York.
He asked the police to investigate it and he even hired a private investigator. Maybe she already did ask someone to investigate but he wanted to protect her. Lots of accidents keep happening lately to her. Just when her grandfather announced their engagement. He's too worried that it's making him frantic. This happened before. The moment before they got married.
He asked someone to prepare light food for her. He was pacing back and forth waiting for the call of the PI that he sent.
He finally sat down beside her when they found out that it was just a simple accident. But he must investigate the driver of the truck. He almost killed the heiress of Mondragon. The Heiress for the Dragon Security Service Empire. He gently strokes her naked arm and she hums. She suddenly walked up feeling unwell, then she held her stomach. He ignored how lavishing she looked while naked and she looked sick when she suddenly went to the bathroom and started vomiting. He called the family doctor and said that it is part of the concussion. When it gets serious, they must send her to the ER.
She ate a little and didn't throw out anymore. He took the top of his pajama pairs and put it on her while he wore the pants. He cuddled her from behind still waiting for the update of the PI that was investigating the scene. She hummed the warmth that he gave and turned to him, so she could pillow over his chest. God, how much he missed this.
He was near to fall into a deep sleep when he heard something keep vibrating. He gently pushes her and gives her a comfortable pillow to cuddle for. He reached her purse where her phone is, and he glanced at the ID caller. It says PI 2. He answered it.
"Boss,"
"Speak. This is Zach Pattinson."
"I would like to speak with Miss Mondragon, Mr. Pattinson." His voice is professional and deep. He had guessed who it was already. One of her trusted subjects.
"Tell me what your findings are."
"I will only speak to my Commander, Sir. I apologize." The PI hang-ups. She had a truthful subject. He glanced at her and then he took his phone and called his PI and worked with the Dragon PI 2. They will instantly know who it is.
He couldn't sleep all night thinking that someone was there to kill her. Should he always have someone to guard her? She could take care of herself, but he hates seeing her with bruises, even if it's just a bite of a mosquito. He would kill thousands of mosquitos for her.
In the morning, instead of going to his gym for a workout, he stayed near her and started doing pushups on the floor 50 reps and then stopped for two minutes and from the start to 100. Until he is full of sweats. He drank his water while opening the balcony door and let the fresh scent of the trees and flowers from the garden enter. She was still asleep and after a few moments, she woke up groggy. He quickly reached her arm and brought her to the bathroom, and she pees, and then she went back to bed and asked for water. She drank half of it and went back to sleep.
Zach sat down at the edge of the bed and watched her sleep. He reached her beautiful feet and held them for a while.
***
Four years ago, in Manhattan
Zach was checking the new suit that he asked his secretary to dry clean. He turns to the famishing smell of food that his girlfriend was preparing for their breakfast. Rice, his favorite chicken Asado, and a smoothie. She smiled at him and then put down the servings as she strode to him and took the suit.
"Eat first." She said sweetly and reached his jaw. "And you need to shave." She pulled him to their small dining room and served him rice and his favorite chicken Asado.
"You'll be a great wife." He kissed her chest, his arms wrapped around her small waist and she's so close to him.
"You just said that because I cooked your favorite." She teased. He chuckled a little and pulled her into his lap.
"I meant it, my love. Happy anniversary." They kiss passionately and feed each other while she's sitting on his lap. He finished the one she cooked and unable to stand. He burped and it was an adorable sound. They both tittered.
It was their happiest day celebrating their first anniversary as a couple. That day, Zachary finished up investment meetings and he went around New York shops and bought flowers, then chocolates. He even bought a heart couple necklace where half of it is his name and the other half has her name. He gave the half with his name to hers and he wore the other half.
He even sets dinner at their favorite restaurant and talks to each other until they finish their food. Walk around the city and end up in their bedroom making love all night.
He kept telling her how much he loved her so much. There's no one he ever loved like this. He loved her like she was his life. He loves her so much that it hurts him.
He caresses her hair. Andromeda. She was so beautiful like the whole universe. She was indeed his universe.
"I love you, Andromeda." He murmured, gently kissing the tip of her nose.

What happened to them was all his fault. He was never a good man to her. He just didn't deserve her. But how is he going to fix this up? He fucked up their three years relationship because of what happened.
That incident was her pain and he increased the pain by leaving her. He bent down and kissed her foot. His heart is breaking slowly thinking of it all.
