[Andrew's Room]
"Hey, have you decided what you are going to wear today?" Elsa entered the room.
Rachael sighed and shook her head. "Not yet, I was about to come to your room to ask if I could borrow a dress." With the way she was 'KIDNAPPED', there was no time to pack at all.
"Great." Elsa grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the room. "Let's go."
"Where?" She asked as she allowed Elsa to drag her out.
"Shopping." Elsa glanced at the watch. "A really quick one."
"Now? I don't think we will be able to make it on time." There was only a couple of hours left before the event. This was the first function Andrew's family was throwing for her and being late didn't seem like a really nice idea.
"Oh don't worry," Elsa assured her. "We will go to the mall, grab whatever is decent enough to wear today and come back."

[Downstairs]
When they came down, the men were having their meeting in the living room.
"Where are you ladies going this early?" Daniel inquired.
"We are going shopping." Elsa looked around and asked, "Where is Kate?"
"She was getting ready when I came down." He then glanced at his watch. "If you guys go shopping now, will you be able to come back before the party?"
"We will try our best."
"Why shopping all of a sudden?" Before they could answer, Andrew got up. "Let me accompany you people—"
"There is no need for that," Elsa stopped him. "We will take the driver and guards with us, so you have nothing to worry about."
Andrew frowned and thought for a while before getting up. "No, I am driving you all to the mall."
"Don't you have other things to do? It seems like you people were having an important discussion before we came down."
"We were but the discussion can wait for a couple of hours."
When he took the car keys from Ben, Elsa nudged Rachael to say something.
"You sure you want to keep everyone else waiting?"
"But—"
"We will be back before you know it." Rachael wrapped her arms around his waist. "Like Elsa said, we will take the driver and the guards with us. We will be safe, don't worry."
Andrew sighed and agreed. "Alright but keep updating me where you are every now and then."
"Look at you," Elsa scoffed. "You will not even listen to me but you agreed at once when Rach told you the same thing."
"Alright now stop sulking." Daniel took out his credit card and gave it to Elsa. "Here, take this and buy whatever you ladies want."
"This is why you are my favourite uncle." Elsa grinned and gave him a hug.
When Kate came down and they were about to leave, Andrew stopped them again. "At least take Ben with you."
"Ben is on vacation too, let me enjoy," Rachael turned him down.
"That's alright, I can—"
"Oh my God, we are just going to the mall for a couple of hours. Why are you people worrying so much?" Kate looked at Andrew. "I will keep your wife safe, okay? Don't worry about it."
"Yes, we will bring her back in one piece," Elsa added before hooking her arms around Rachael's shoulder and dragging her out of the mansion.
Andrew sighed and helplessly shook his head as she watched them leave.
"Don't worry about them, they will be alright." Daniel took out his phone and added, "I will ask my men to follow them closely as well."
"Andrew is right to worry, the situation doesn't look so bright." Owen took a sip of his coffee. "After what happened, I don't think Riftan will stay quiet."
The atmosphere of the room again turned gloomy. They were discussing what their next move towards Riftan Genovesse should be before Elsa and Rachael came down.
"Well, as of now he seems to be quite calm," Daniel smirked. "That bastard must be celebrating his victory."
Keeping quiet for a while, Justin asked, "What is our next move?"
Since Daniel's man who was spying on the Genovesse was caught and killed, things had become very complicated. They knew Riftan Genovesse was planning something big but they still had no idea what it was.
"Let's stay low for sometime," Andrew suggested. "Since all of us are here, I doubt if he will make any move now."
"You are right," Owen agreed. "Riftan is smart, he will definitely wait for us to separate again before doing something."
"But we are not separating anymore, right?" Justin remarked, "We all will go back to the city after aunt Lisa's anniversary. Daniel and Kate are coming with us too."
"That's right," Daniel nodded. "But that doesn't mean Riftan will just sit quietly and do nothing."
"Well, him reacting a little violently will make sense," Owen sighed. "If someone had tried to spy on me, I would feel enraged too."
Daniel couldn't help but agree but keeping a track on their enemies was also important. They had to get an idea of what they were up to in order to be prepared.
"So all we can do is wait for him to make a move," Andrew remarked.
"Until then, let's be careful, especially our women," Daniel stated.

[Mall]
As soon as they arrived at the mall, all three of them quickly rushed to Elsa's regular store.
"Do you think we will be able to make it back on time?" Rachael was worried that would end up being late.
"Relax, we will reach on time," Elsa assured her.
"Don't worry Rach, no one is going to say anything even if we are five hours late," Kate chuckled. "Our husbands are going to handle the situation for us."
…..
[Inside the store]
When they entered the store, all the three of them started looking for dresses individually.
After selecting a few dresses, Rachael was about to enter the fitting room when she bumped into someone.
"I am sorry," She quickly apologised.
"I-It's alright, I—" The woman grabbed Rachael's hand when she started feeling dizzy.
