Love and Debt

"What do you mean?" Belinda asked.

Andrew crossed his arms, looking at her intently.

"I will help you get revenge. In exchange, you will exclusively work for me. I will pay you, of course." Andrew offered.

She frowned. She wasn't sure what Andrew was thinking. Although it was an offer she couldn't resist, she was hesitating.

"Tell me first what the work is about, and then, I will decide if I'll accept it." She answered.

Andrew nodded while rubbing his chin. He took his phone and handed it to Belinda.

"Look at the messages that were sent to me from different numbers. Can you locate where it came from?"

Belinda took the phone and looked at the messages one by one. They were sent from an unknown number, and the sender wasn't using just one number. There were a lot of them.

"These messages were not sent by phone; they were sent using a computer. I don't think the sender will use his personal device. It's from a computer shop." Belinda commented.

Andrew wasn't a techie person. He knew how to use them, but stuff like hacking was way beyond his knowledge. He wanted to know who was threatening him. 

Luke was the best person with this kind of stuff. But he couldn't ask him for help because his fiance was Nina's best friend. His best choice, for now, is Belinda.

"Is there a way to know where it came from? I mean, what shop?" He asked.

She nodded and smiled at him.

"But it may take some time, like three days?" She answered.

Andrew sighed. They would have to fly to Switzerland the day after tomorrow, so he wanted to get the information before leaving. He drank all the wine from his glass then rubbed his temple.

Nina would never forgive him after his decision, but he needed to make sure that nothing serious was waiting for them. He hoped that the person sending him those messages was just a freaking stalker.

"Do you have plans for the next few days?" He asked Belinda.

Belinda was confused with his question, but she still shook her head. After Madrid, she would go back home and wait for another job.

"Good. Then you'll fly with us to Switzerland." Andrew exclaimed.

"What? Are you insane? Do you really want me to be the third wheel? Nina would never forgive you!" She said, annoyed with Andrew's offer.

It wasn't really an offer. Andrew was ordering her, not asking her. 

"Look, I know Nina would get mad at me. But I'm desperate. I need to know if that was from someone who wanted to break Nina and me or someone dangerous. So please, help me. I have bodyguards. They're good-looking, so you won't get bored."  Andrew grinned.

"You know I like you, right?" She suddenly asked.

Andrew nodded. Belinda couldn't believe how heartless this man was. But she wanted to help him, and he promised to help her get revenge on her uncle. So it wasn't a bad deal.

"Fine. But don't make me your wife's babysitter!" She answered.

Andrew smiled, showing his pearly white teeth. She sighed when she saw him smiling at her. She bit her lips to control herself. Fuck this heart! She thought inwardly.

After booking a flight for Belinda, Andrew left and decided to drop by a nearby restaurant. He could see the hotel from where he was and wondered what Nina was doing. Is she still crying? He thought to himself.

'Beep.'

He took his phone when he received a message. It was again an unknown number. He tapped to open it and was surprised to see who had sent him a message.

'Let's talk. -Rev'

'We don't have anything to talk about.' He replied.

'There is. About Nina and the messages. I want to help.' Rev sent another.

'I don't need your help! Stop bothering me and my wife!'

'You want to be hated by her forever? I'll be happy with that.'

"This asshole!' He exclaimed.

'I'm in Madrid. Meet me, or I will meet Nina.'

He wanted to kill the guy, so he told him where he was and decided to meet him. Rev was telling the truth, after a few minutes he arrived at the restaurant. He was wearing casual clothes, and he looked younger with those clothes.

"Are you a stalker? You're creepy." Andrew said.

He didn't feel that Rev was a bad person for some reason. Maybe he really liked Nina a lot and wanted to help them.

"Talk. I don't have much time to spare." He said, annoyed.

Rev sat down across from him, then ordered a drink.

"You're the creepy one. Just thinking of what you did to Nina, I want to punch you in the face!" Rev answered with gritted teeth.

"If you didn't show up, we were happy with each other. Why do you have to tell her? Are you trying to steal her from me?" Andrew frowned.

Rev sighed and drank the beer on the table.

"Look, I don't have any intention to steal her. I admit I like her. No. I fell in love with her at first sight. But I'm not that desperate. I would have left her alone if I didn't receive those messages." Rev explained.

Andrew stared at Rev's eyes, and he could see that the guy was telling the truth. He sighed and listened to what he had to say.

Nina was still mad at Andrew and didn't enjoy her stay in Madrid. They were at the airport and were scheduled to Switzerland. She was confused why they needed to wait since they always go directly to the departure area. She wanted to ask Andrew, but she decided to keep quiet. She glanced at him and saw that he was texting someone.

"Andrew!"

Nina frowned when she saw a woman walking towards them. Her eyes widened when she saw who it was. The woman turned to her and smiled.

"Hi, Nina! Remember me? I'm Belinda. I'll be with you on your trip to Switzerland." 

Before Nina could react, she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

Nina turned around and was even more surprised to see Rev.

Andrew stood up and casually took their luggage.

"Enough of the chit chat.. Let's go!" Andrew simply said while walking ahead of them, leaving Nina shocked.
