Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love

"The pin is 0606, our marriage anniversary," he added.

"Andrew, you don't have to do this," Rachael sighed.

"Why not? You are my wife, if you don't spend my money, who will?"

All these years, Andrew had no one to spend his money on. Though he would take Elsa shopping every now and then, it was different. But now since he had a wife, he could finally start spending his hard earned money on her.

Since the day he married Rachael, he wanted to take her shopping but could never find the appropriate time to do so. But since she was going shopping, he wanted her to use his card to pay for everything.

"Aren't you worried that I will max out your credit card?" When she heard him chuckle, she asked, "Don't underestimate my shopping limits Mr.Collins, you have no idea how wild your wife can go."

When it came to shopping, some women had no control and Rachael happened to be one of them. Whenever she went shopping, she would end up buying things she needed and also things she didn't need.

"Even if you buy an entire store, you won't be able to max out that card," he stated.

"Really?" She curiously inquired.

"Just in case you have forgotten Mrs.Collins, your husband is a rich man. So feel free to buy whatever you like without any hesitation."

"If that's the case then I won't hold myself back." She placed the care on the table. "Don't blame me later."

"You know I'll never do that."

Just then Owen called him over.

"I have to go now, I'll call you as soon as I land."

"Okay, have a safe flight."

After hanging up the call, Rachael stepped into the washroom to take a shower.

"Sir, they are coming back."

"Together?" When he nodded, the man raised his brows. "Didn't they say they had backed off?"

"Yes boss but turns out it was just a rumour," Viktor explained. "Though it is true that Andrew and Justin have left Russia, they are not withdrawing themselves from the business. Owen will handle everything here while the two of them will keep flying back and forth."

Keeping quiet for a while, Igor inquired, "Didn't Andrew get married recently?"

"Yes boss, her name is Rachael Watson—"

"And?" Igor raised his brows, waiting for his subordinate to give him more details.

"Nothing sir, though she belongs to an influential family, her family background is very clean."

"Hmm so he left his wife at home or is she coming along too?"

"She is at home, Elsa Volkov is accompanying her."

Throwing his head back, Igor chuckled, "Andrew left his fiesty cousin to protect his wife, that's quite interesting." Tapping his finger on the armrest, he inquired, "What is her deal with that Justin guy again? Are they still seeing each other?"

"No boss. Though they are in touch, they are not romantically involved anymore," Viktor answered.

"Then send her a bunch of white lilies from my side," Igor smirked. "Make sure to mention my name."

"Okay boss."

Igor Petrov, was one the many rivals of the Volkov family. The two families had been at war for decades.

While the Volkov family always managed to keep an upper hand on them, the power that the Petrov's held couldn't be underestimated.

Igor Petrov and his younger brother Samuel Petrov were currently in charge of all the legal and illegal business ran by their family.

While both the brothers were equally capable in terms of everything, when it came to being ruthless, Igor had an upper hand. He was ruthless, sly and cunning with no ounce of mercy in his heart.

The only person he willingly showed his soft side was Elsa Volkov.

Igor had been trying to pursue Elsa for eight years now but the latter always turned him down. She never tried to hide how much she detested him but this bold attitude of hers is what kept him motivated to try harder.

"Where is Samuel?" Igor inquired. It had been weeks since he last saw his younger brother.

Hesitating for a while, Viktor answered, "Boss is in Elisberg city."

"What are you two doing here?" Rachael inquired while giving Tina and Emma a hug.

"Your husband called us yesterday," Tina answered.

"Yes and he told us to come and check on you whenever we can," Emma added.

"Typical Andrew," Elsa chuckled. "I won't be shocked if he shows up tomorrow just to make sure you are okay."

"Okay, she is new," Tina remarked.

"She is Elsa, Andrew's cousin." Rachael looked at Elsa and added, "They are Tina and Emma."

"It's so nice to meet you." Elsa gave both of them a hug. "You have no idea how desperate I am to make new cool friends."

"How do you even know we are cool?" Emma chuckled. "I mean, we just met, what if we are dead boring."

"Well—" she shrugged. "Since Rachael is cool and you are her friends, it's not very hard to assume."

Without waiting for their reply, Elsa exclaimed, "Okay so it's four of us today, right?"

"I guess, if Emma and Tina wanna go shopping too." Rachael looked at her two best friends whose faces were already glowing after hearing the word 'shopping'.

Placing her hand on Rachael's shoulder, Tina stated. "I am telling you this again, the day I say no to shopping, feel free to send me to an asylum."

Emma looked at Elsa. "We are shopping freaks."

"So am I—" Elsa enthusiastically exclaimed. "I go extra crazy when I get to use Owen or Andrew's card."

Slapping her head, she cursed herself. "I should have forced one of them to leave their card behind, I am so stupid."

"Is it one of those credit cards which have no limit?" Tina inquired.

"I don't know about that but no matter how many times you swipe them, it doesn't stop working," Elsa answered. "To be honest, I prefer Andrew's credit card over Owen's."

"Andrew left me his credit card."
