Chapter 306 Screw A.J! Screw Zach Frost!



"No, this isn\'t right", Esmeralda grumbled with a deep frown on her face.

"Put that away woman! You\'ve been going at it for hours", Dylan complained from behind her. It was late into the night and the two were in bed. He was trying to sleep but Esmeralda had different plans.

"But it\'s just... Have a look", she turned to him and showed him the device she was holding.

"You edited A.J and George\'s picture into one frame?" His mouth hang open, shocked that that\'s what she wanted to show him.

"I wanted to see what they look like together. Ugh! I don\'t like her but if I were her, I would have gone for the big boss", she said with a dreamy expression.

"Zach Frost?" He arched a brow at her.

"Of course, he\'s very impressive in any way you could think of but he\'s one of those men who do not bother with matters of the heart, not wanting to devote themselves to a woman in the name of love", she shook her head, clearly disappointed. "So if she couldn\'t get a man like him, then she\'s not as impressive as everyone thinks she is."

"Don\'t make fun of your friend\'s choices", Dylan said with brows furrowed.

"Correction, she\'s not my friend", she raised a finger at him.

"And when did you find out all this about Zach? If he\'s that amazing, might as well leave me for him", he scoffed and turned his back on her.

"Babyyyy, it\'s not like that", she immediately put the tablet away and climbed on top of him. "Why would I want a robot of a man when I have all this?" She run a finger down the middle of his chest in a seductive move.

"Doesn\'t mean he\'s not \'impressive in any way I can think of\'?" He continued to grumble in annoyance.

"Forget about him! You\'re the only one that I want, screw A.J! Screw Zach Frost! He\'ll die single anyway!"

Before he could say anything else, she sealed his lips with hers, ending the discussion. Meanwhile, the person in question who was apparently going to die single, was carefully putting down his sleeping daughter.

Amy was seated in bed, watching them. Completing the mission, he walked back to bed where he joined her. He took a tablet from the nightstand before pulling her in his arms.

"It\'s just as we thought", he said, swiping through the device.

"These are good", she commented at the pictures and how clear they were. They belonged to the supposedly discreet men who followed Zach to work and took pictures of him that were reported to the King. "Found anything on them?"

He shook his head. "Nothing. Seems all the men working under the Dark waters are \'non existent\'."

"Of course, they can\'t afford loose ends", she replied. "Is George okay?"

"He\'s safe."

They both fell quiet and Amy was now doing the swiping, looking through the pictures. Zach\'s men were really good to capture shots of the people who were following their boss. She could not help but be more impressed with the man.

"I have a hunch", he started earning her attention. "These men remain non existent just in the real world."

Her eyes widened in realization. "You think the case is different in the underworld?"

"Mm. These are not regular people, they must have aliases and those aliases must have information on them. Or someone might know something about them. That something, can be used against them. Just like Viper."

"Ooooh!" Amy was pumping with excitement as she peeled herself from him to get her laptop. Curiousity was growing like a huge appetite that needed to be satisfied.

"And where do you think you\'re going?" He pulled her back into his arms, this time around, on top of him. She gave him a sheepish smile knowing he saw through her. "Can\'t that wait till tomorrow?"

She smiled and blushed, as he tucked away some strands of hair from her face. "But it won\'t take long."

"Not curious to know how bad my day was without you?" He argued.

"Really? I couldn\'t tell over the ten times we spoke over the phone today", she gave him a judging gaze. "Ten times Zachery, ten times."

"Who called the other more?" He countered.

"Who called the other first? Asking how the weather was", she shook her head at him.

"One needs to keep up with the weather in preparation for the unknown", he justified himself.

"So I\'m your weather girl now?" She narrowed her eyes at him.

"How\'s that for a foreplay idea?" He wiggled his brows at her, smiling and she dropped her head on his chest, laughing.

But that laugh soon died down when a warning beeping sound was heard coming from Amy\'s phone. She lifted herself off of him to get it and resumed her original position.

"Same ones?" He asked as he watched her tap away oñ her phone.

"Nope. Two new ones. They must be getting really frustrated with me", she mumbled.

"So that\'s six of eight?" He confirmed. That was the number belonging to gangs who were coming for Amy after the Greco downfall.

"Mm", she answered, putting her phone on his nightstand.

"Seems like you\'ll be busy starting tomorrow?" His lips lifted into an amused smile.

"My hands have been itching for this", she giggled, wiggling her fingers. However, she still could not help her worry, after all, her task involved dealing with people who were not one\'s regular Joe. "This will work, right?"

"It should", he said with confidence, as he caressed her face. "But if it doesn\'t, we have a plan B. You have me."

"I have you", she repeated, trusting him completely.

She knew that was a promise he would fulfill no matter what it takes and she too would do all she can. As they looked into each other\'s eyes, a secret understanding passed between them. So, she leaned forward and sealed it off with a kiss.

The next morning, the couple was up bright and early. Roserie was still sleeping while her parents remained busy in the room, one sorting out her outfit for the morning and the other on his phone whilst dressing up.

"What did the doctor say?" Zach spoke into the Bluetooth headset whilst fixing his cufflinks. ".... Okay... Of course you\'re not... I\'ll leave you to tell that to Mom..... No, Xavier.... No. And I sent you an email... Yes. Sure."

He tapped on the headset to terminate the call. He picked up his tie to put it on when Amy came forward and took over. "Looking good this morning Mr. Frost."

"Thank you. My wife made sure of it", he replied, referring to her picking out his outfit. She smiled as he pulled her closer, locking his arms around her waist. "Xavier will be discharged tomorrow."

"Is he going to stay with Lorraine while he recovers?" It was more of a guess than a question on Amy\'s part.

"Mm-hm."

Amy shook her head, her brother-in-law was a fool in love and she could not help but wonder if he had realized it yet. Speaking of the fool, he was still in bed but looking through his phone after the phone call with his brother.

There it was, the long awaited email sitting in his inbox but he was not in a hurry to open it. He patiently waited for the person whom it concerned more. Lorraine walked back into the room from the bathroom after freshening up. She broke into a shy smile when her eyes met his.

"Did I wake you?" She asked while walking towards him.

He shook his head and raised his phone in her line of sight. "There\'s something here for you?"

Her brows rose in confusion. "For me?"

"You might want to sit down for this."

"Why?" She now stood beside him at the edge of the bed giving him curious eyes. "What is it?"

"It\'s uh.....", He studied her face, picking on little sign of nervousness from the way she looked at him. "It\'s information on your mom, everything you wanted to know."
