Taming A Billionaire

Chapter 738 - Seven Hundred And Thirty-eight: Got Your Back

The third point of view:

"Andrew?!" Maggie was surpised when she saw Andrew being dragged out of the meeting hell. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest thinking he has committed a crime that demanded death - Sakuzi was quite unpredictable at times.

"What's going on here?" She went over to them demanding an answer.

Upon seeing her, they finally let go of Andrew who glared at them. He was their superordinate and to have been manhandled that way by his subordinate was quite a slap to his face and an insult to his reputation.

Thankfully, they were smart enough not to make mocking remarks about him and clearly understood that the only reason that they were able to touch him at all was because of Emerald's order. Other than that, he would have cut their head off for laying their filthy hands on him. In the falcon gang, hierarchy really mattered.

"What is going on?" Maggie asked him but Andrew was still fuming with anger as he watched those two return to the meeting. She at once cupped his face, forcing his attention on her and at one his anger slowly began to vanish.

"It's nothing," Andrew lied through his teeth but Maggie knew him well enough.

"We could do all day," She was not giving up.

Andrew sighed, "He called you Valentino's fuck mistress and I lost it. I should have punched the life out of him," He said, causing Maggie's gaze to fall on his fist that had a trace of blood - Mikhail's filthy blood.

"Come, let's go before Emerald changes his mind and decides to punish you for acting out of line," She grabbed his hand and began to lead him in the direction of her room.

She went to the bathroom and brought a wet toilet which she used to wipe the blood off his hand. None of them said a word and after she was done with cleaning the blood, they both lay down on the bed cuddling each other.

"What does Valentino plan to do with him?" She referred to Mikhail.

"They plan on getting rid of him," Andrew answered, "He's nothing but a nuisance that needs to be eradicated from society,"

Maggie sighed deeply and that didn't go by Andrew. He glanced down, asking, "What's wrong?"

"This is all my fault, Andrew. I should be the one clearing the mess I made yet here I am hiding like a fool. I feel helpless and I hate feeling hateless," Maggie expressed herself.

"Hey," Andrew lifted her chin, "You're not being a burden to us. In the Falcon, we treat each other as one and you're a part of this family. So there's no way on earth we are letting you deal with that bastard on your own," He promised her

"But still -"

Andrew pressed his finger against her lips, shutting her up.

"No, but, now sleep," He drew her closer to his chest and hardly closed his eyes for a minute when a loud bang was heard.

At first, Andrew waved it off as some of the boys were fooling around since this wasn't the first time those idiots shot in the air. However, the second shot came coupled with the fact that Mikhail was still in the premises meant that something must have gone wrong.

Maggie was the first to get off the bed as more gunshots were heard.

"I think there's a shootout, what's happening?" She asked with a trace of worry.

Andrew got his walkie talkie and tried to make contact with the others and one finally answered and gave him the bad news, "Mikhail made an escape,"

"Shit!" Andrew cursed and then reached under his desk for a gun magnetted to the furniture and pulled it out, stuffing the weapon in the waistband of his jeans.

"You're staying here," He commanded her yet Maggie glared liquid fire at him.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Look," He told her, "I can't be on the lookout for Mikhail and protect you at the same time!"

"Like I need your protection! I'm not helpless, Andrew! I can protect myself and that's what I've been doing all these years," she defended herself.

"Look, it's not that I doubt your capabilities but it's dangerous right now and I think one of our own must have betrayed us for Mikhail to have escaped this easily. I just don't want you to get....." Andrew trailed off when a gun dangled from Maggie's hand with her brows arched arrogantly,

"You were saying?"

Andrew's eyes widened and he at once reached for the gun in his waistband only to come up with nothing.

He sighed in defeat, "Fine, you can come along but stay behind me where I can protect you,"

"And who would protect you?" she asked him.

Andrew's mouth remained open, unable to answer that. She rolled her eyes, "Males, so egoistic,"

But he said, "You got my back, don't you?"

Maggie's heart flustered. Seriously!

"Go," Was all she said but her expression has given Andrew all the answers he wanted.

They first went to the meeting room where he saw that the both men that had escorted him were dead. There were supposed to be three in total left to execute Mikhail but with only two bodies seen, that confirmed his suspicion - he betrayed them.

"Lets go to the control room," He said to Maggie and together they arrived at the surveillance area only to see that Emerald was already before them.

"We were betrayed," Andrew informed him.

"I know," Emerald said calmly.

Andrew then looked at the screen that showed their people battling it out with what's left of Mikhail's men. They were the ones who released the shots they heard.

"They're not here," Andrew said as he glanced through the numerous cameras all at once.

"Yeah, our member with him must be good at evading cameras since he knows this place well," Emerald then pointed at one of the screens, "This was the last place he was last seen,"

"If that's the case…" Andrew rubbed his jaw, thinking hard, "Then he must plan to go out through the forest and that can only be achieved through the secret passageway and the fight outside -"

"Was him buying time to escape," Emerald figured out as well, "You have to get him,"

He didn't need to be told twice, Andrew turned at once only to go make his gang proud only to discover that Maggie was gone and one of them here was missing a gun.

"Oh shit,"
