Rachael understood what Andrew was trying to say.
"Rach." He gently caressed her cheek. "There are many people who want to bring me to my knees. They want me to beg, they want to kill me."
She tightened her grip on his t-shirt.
"For years they have been trying to look for something they can use against me," he added. "I love you Rachael, you are the woman I love the most, you are my biggest strength but you are also my weakness. The mere thought of losing you makes me feel hopeless, it scares the shit out of me."
He cupped her face. "They know how important you are to me and how much you mean to me. So they will not hesitate to use that against me. I know this sounds scary but I still wanted you to know."
"What am I supposed to do?" All of this was new to her, everything that was happening or was bound to happen. But she wanted to be strong, stay strong for Andrew.
