Catriona was walking in the garden with one of her dog leading her While Tequila was fixing the garden where the dog dugs and mess up his newly planted Tulips. He frown at the General the American Pitbull. He was the one who started it and everyone followed him. d.a.m.n that dog. He was muttering to himself. Though he trained them well—they are still naughty and only behave around Catriona.
Catriona like feeling the gra.s.ses under her feet so they maintain it every day and clean it. It was Tequila"s duty. He like all of the gardener"s work. He remove p.o.o.p around and them told the dogs all over again to pop on their p.o.o.ping area where he put sands for their popping area. Away from the garden.
"You sound angry." Catriona said as she smile when she heard him from afar muttering. Though she is blind she has a very good hearing.
"Well, General just do it again and the others follow. So how will these Tulips grow beautifully?" He ask her.
"What"s with you and General you"ve been fighting almost everyday?" Catriona asked as the dogs led her close to Tequila. She couldn"t see but she could feel the fresh wind and the rising of the sun kissing her skin.
Tequila growl at General who growl at him.
"Well, it started when he wanted me to bring him outside but I told him that we can"t."
Catriona kneel down and reach General"s face.
"Why do you have to be naughty around Albert?" Catriona asked General in honeyed voice. General whims and started talking in his dog voice. He try to sound like complaining but Tequila couldn"t understand his complain. Only Catriona would "Aww, don"t do it again. Tequila is just protecting us. Okay? Soon after everything is settled outside and there will be no one to harm us—we can go out anywhere you like."
General started licking Catriona"s face. Tequila make a disgust face. What if General lick somebody"s b.u.t.t? Darn it. That was quite bad.
"Cat, wash your face when you get in. Okay?"
Dogs keep on licking Catriona and trying to stand to give her a hug. The dogs just love her so dearly. Since Catriona was a dog person and was known as a dog whisperer—it was enough for her to feel love by animals.
After Tequila is done fixing the Tulips, he covered it with a strong fence all around so the dogs wouldn"t harm his tulips. Then he led Catriona to the bathroom and make her wash her face. Tequila look down on her swollen stomach. It is getting bigger and bigger every week.
"How are you feeling?" He ask. He didn"t know how hard it was but he could see that she"s been suffering yet she can still take it and keep herself healthy and alive for her babies.
"I feel good. Why are you asking?"
"Your stomach is getting bigger and bigger."
"It should get bigger." She said. She reach the towel where Tequila always put and wipe her face. Tequila sigh.
"I can"t wait for them to come out so I and Sam can play with them."
Catriona frowns and throw the towel directly at his face though she can"t see, she still remember how tall he was."My babies aren"t toys."
"What I mean is babysit them. Anyway, I am making something today. Any requests?"
"Anything is fine." She said and reach her hand on the wall and walk as she traces the wall. She walk past him and went to bed. "I"m going to sleep."
"Okay." Its still morning and she was sleepy. So he did let her.
He made sure that the AC was on and the balcony and windows are locked.

Eros was in his hiding place. It was dark and only few of his men are outside. He was drinking from his Martini gla.s.s. It"s been weeks since he was last scared by the Dark Lord. He haven"t meet him or see him but he surely know that he is more dangerous than the president of America or Francisco.
He had seen and observe his tactic and known he is merciless. He tortured double spies in EPUA in front of them and bury them alive. That"s how dangerous Dark Lord was. He is more dangerous than Grim Reaper, since Grim Reaper would take away everything until you won"t feel anything at all. But for the Dark Lord, he would be more brutal than Satan.
His phone started ringing again for the fifth time and his a.s.sistant check it.
"It"s Francisco again."
He show his hand to his a.s.sistant and the humble a.s.sistant put it to his hand. He answer it and place it on his ear.
"I have been calling for ages." Francisco said in annoyed tune. "Why are you hiding?"
"I am not just hiding. I am saving myself from the Dark Lord." He mutter. Francisco scoff and found it absurd that someone like Eros had feared someone. "You don"t understand. This Dark Lord is more evil than you are Francisco. He warn me—he sent one of his best agents to hunt me down and to warn me." He said in shaky and amused voice. He sneer. He was excited and at the same time scared as h.e.l.l.
"Did you know that I just make the woman I love so much blind? Because she was blind for not even looking my way. So I make her blind until she can"t see anything at all but to remember my face." He sounds like an insane person. He was indeed insane. Obsessed to Catriona. "I just took the Dark Lord"s ace." He laugh out loud.
"Who else are the Dark Lord"s aces? Is Sabrina Alvarez one of them?"
"Sabrina is just a mute agent that work under him." He said and sipped on his martini, relaxed. "She"s good at paper works and the Dark Lord is controlling her like his body. She"s good with guns though." He remember that pretty face. Monotonous and care nothing at all. But something is odd about her that he couldn"t figure.
Francisco laugh on the other line.
"I thought Sabrina controls EPUA."
"She doesn"t. She just sit there and do paper works." Eros said it surely. Because that"s what his sources said. He has someone inside EPUA who is feeding him details. Someone close to Sabrina. He grin as he hang up. "Find Catriona. The Dark Lord had hid her well. Find her around the world." He demanded.
"Yes, sir." The a.s.sistant said.
♥♥♥
Brandy sneakily took out few important doc.u.ments from Sabrina"s room. It was in a high security but he had access to the office. He capture few photos of it and then send it to Eros. Then he put it back cleanly and smirk.
He got out from Sabrina"s office with a brief case the one that Sabrina told him to get since she"s in the meeting.
"Got it." He told the a.s.sistant. The a.s.sistant nodded and didn"t find anything suspicious about him.
