"This family will be the death of me!" She groaned in annoyance and slumped back in her seat.


    "Stop being dramatic", Henry said.


    "Dramatic? He proposed and you''re saying I''m being dramatic?" She looked at him like he had grown two heads.


    "It''s something I had been nning for a long time and we agreed you''d n the wedding with Amy", Zach said in a tired voice.


    It was that time his mother talked about him finding someone for him to spend the rest of his life with. When he pictured Amy did he start to n his proposal. Although he felt he wascking, seeing Amy''s reaction eased his worries. He must have done a good job.


    "You nned something without me?" She clutched her chest, looking offended.


    So that''s what the issue was? Amy felt Victoria was too dramatic but at the same time figured the woman loved to n events. She let out an awkward chuckle and tried to lighten the atmosphere.


    "For what it''s worth, he did such a great job. It was so romantic. I think you''d be so proud", Amy said sincerely.


    "You''re not just saying that, are you?" Victoria was skeptical. This was Zach they were talking about, she didn''t know him to be a romantic.


    "Honest", she responded.


    Of course, Amy would inspire this side of Zach that she, Victoria, thought did not exist. He must have tried his hardest to impress her. Henry shook his head. His wife was such a baby. Well, could he me her? She had been surrounded by three men, two sons and a husband, who spoiled her to her heart''s content.


    "I''ll trust what you say, congrattions you both", she said with a big smile. Look at her oldest making progress more than she would have ever imagined.


    "Thank you Mom", she smiled.


    "George mentioned something about epting your help on something you offered. Not sure what, but he asked to pass the message", Zach said with aid back attitude before biting into a bruschetta.


    "Really?" Victoria''s features lit and she abruptly got up. "Well, then I''ll be on my way. I''ll check on youter dear. Bye!"


    They watched her leave in a haste with her heels clicking on the marble floor. Does that mean he had finally reconsidered her offer? Zach could already imagine topping George''s hate list and his lips quirked at this thought.


    "You got rid of her. Why?" Henry arched a brow.


    "There''s something we need to talk about", he calmly said before looking at Amy who got the message.


    "No need, I''ll give you your space. Sometimes you might need to do it elsewhere and not just in your room. Even on this table."


    Cough! Zach quickly patted Amy''s back when she choked on her juice. Was it her fate toe across older people who were blunt especially when ites to matters of the bedroom?


    "It''s not that.... Although you have a point", he added earning a smack on his arm along with a re from Amy.


    Henry chuckled. Was it the fate of the men in the Frost family to fall for women who were a bit violent? But he had to admit, the exchange between Zach and Amy was pleasing to his eyes especially when Zach smiled at her blushing face.


    "Then what is it?" He asked.


    "Let''s talk in my study. Edmund, bring something for her to eat."


    "This will be enough", she said while picking up the bowl of yoghurt.


    Zach have a nod before the three left the dining room for his study. Zach and Amy settled on one sofa while Henry settled on another. Amy was so nervous she felt her palms grow sweaty and wiped them against her jumpsuit. She was not sure what his reaction would be after he learns of her true identity. Zach held her hand in his in show of support. Henry waited for her to calm down, it must be important he figured.


    "We might have a case", she started earning a raise of Henry''s brows. "Hot head", she added.


    "I doubt Zach told you about my other identity when he hasn''t even told his brother, besides he signed an N.D.A when he worked with us, so how did you know?" He said with a stern gaze.


    "You worked as an agent before?" Amy''s brows rose in shock.


    "Nothing too serious."


    "Nothing too....? Hm! You call training for team captain not too serious?" He said with an amusedugh.


    "Come on, Henry. Let''s leave that and focus on the issue at hand", Zach said a bit leisurely.


    He was embarrassed about Amy learning this about him. Amy could not help but squeal inside. Why was everything about Zach hot???? But why did he leave? He nodded at her giving her the cue to continue talking.


    "Yes, uh, he didn''t tell me, only confirmed with me. And...", Amy looked at him with a mischievous smile. "How could I forget a client I helped infiltrate into enemy territory in Italy?"


    Henry''s eyes grew wide and mouth fell open in shock. "You....."


    Amy crossed her arms against her chest and smiled at him. "Did you y peeping Tom on your wife? Still think it''s not being a pervert?"


    Silence. Henry looked like he was frozen. He briefly remained like that before a heartyugh erupted from his lips. Amy''s nervousness and anxiety were gone without her realizing. Something about Henry kept her calm. Maybe because he was like Zach to some degree.


    "I knew there was something special about you. So tell me, what case could it be? Actually, start from the beginning. The story you fed Victoria about you too had too many loopholes", he gestured with a nod for them to start.


    And so Amy recounted the story in it''s entirety to him. He listened patiently and Zach jumped in to help recount the events that led to the current moment.


    "So you think this incident might be rted to the Dark waters and Greco?" He was finally on track with her line of thought.


    "I think so but I may be wrong. It''s just that.... The way I knew Mona, she loved Ian too much she would never deliberately do something that would server that rtionship. Something must have happened. But I''m more interested in the drugs. If they happen to have the same chemicalponent and arrangement with what I saw in their system, then this might be the slip up Zac- Babe", she corrected making him chuckle softly. "talked about. It could be our big break."


    Henry fell quiet with his brows knitted digesting everything she had said. Then he slowly nodded in agreement.


    "If that turns out to be the case, then we''ll have a lot of work to do."


    And Amy was right, Mona would not have easily died especially with her carrying her lover''s baby in her womb. Something must have happened.


    Back in West vige


    Kate and Aaron Westley held their daughter''s funeral in their home. Guests dressed in ck moved around, were seated and whispered about. Some surrounded the couple tofort them on their loss.


    Present at the funeral were Mona''s ssmate''s and teachers, the Westleys'' family and friends, even Adrianne and Jared as well as Ste and her family. They were deeply disturbed and saddened by the sudden passing of the teenage girl especially about the pregnancy.


    p "It''s so sad", Adriannemented. "Did they say anything to you guys?"</anda>


    "Kate is angry with him. Aaron thought we would talk about this when she settles down", Alex answered. She grimaced when she remembered how Kateshed out on Ian when she learned he fathered herte daughter''s pregnancy.


    Ian was not paying attention to what was being said. Under his bangs, his re was directed at a certain figure standing further in the room among Mona''s friends. Her eyes were puffy and bloodshot red from crying too much. Demi red back. They both were angry at each other.


    Yes, they believed the other caused Mona''s passing. The me was evident. They knew something no one did and guilt was gnawing at their insides.....
