Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

    The Secretary looked away uneasily. That body language is easy to read. She is now thinking if Alanis would fall on her. She felt bad for her. Back then, she disliked Alanis for constantly following her around, giving her whatever things it was… she removed her clothes and strode to the bathroom and stayed in the bathtub. 

    Alanis is still busy, so she left the tub and dry herself. She picked one of the warm PJs and went to bed. Time is clicking and she's staring at the box on the side table. She sat up and reached it. Then she opened it and pulled the ring. Wasn't it heavy? 

    The stone has a half-inch width and length. It's a real diamond and it's quite heavy. But she slid it on her left ring finger, and it was a little heavy, but she might get used to it. What she felt is complicated, she loved him but she's uncertain. She wanted him badly but she's afraid to grasp on him. 

    She lay back on the bed and closed her eyes. Just when she closed her eyes, she felt like someone is inside staring at her. The room is dark, and she saw a reflection of metal from the outside, but the metal is inside the room. It's sharp and she understands what it was. She pulled her pillow and sat up. 

"If you wanted to kill me, you can just say so." She said and reached the lampshade and turned it on and the man is swift as a shadow as it hides on the curtains. "Come on, stop playing with me." She then reached the telephone and call Alanis. 

    And just before Alanis answered, the shadow attacked her fast. But she's fast as well as she rolled off from the bed and pushed herself up ready to fight. She exhaled and face the man wrapped in a black outfit. She says that it's a man. 

    He lifted his throw-knife and quickly threw on her. She dodged a few of it and caught one and throw it back to him. She runs to the door to open it and call for help but it seemed to be locked from the outside. Whatever lock they did doesn't matter to her. 

    This person is probably one of the assassins but why would they kill her? Did Alanis order one of his assassins to kill her so the war between him and Yves would end? 

    She looked at the man and then run to the table and reached the vase and throw it hard to the man. Then it scattered on the floor. Then she exhaled and face the man and then stretches her fingers and get ready on the boxing position. 

    The man tilted his head and put away his weapon and positioned himself. She didn't attack first, and he wasn't attacking as well. So, she put down her hand and relaxed. 

"You know what, I am going to sleep. You are so boring." She turned back and the man was about to attack her but she duck down and punched his eggs and use her feet to hit his face and ready for another, but the door burst open. 

"Moira!" Alanis immediately dragged her and glared at the man struggling in pain. 

    One of his men pulled him and then removed the masked. A charming bleeding face came up and smiled at them. 

"What the fuck you bloody bastard?!" Alanis screamed at the man. 

"Sorry, sorry!" He hands up and wiped the blood from his nose. "My fault, totally." 

    Moira rolled her eyes and shook her head. 

"Winston! Why are you assaulting my Queen?" 

"It wasn't an intention. I was just playing." 

"Really, playing? You are just a dumb spoiled brat. You nearly cut me, and you nearly bruised me!" She said loudly. 

    Alanis's eyes become more and more dangerous as he reached a knife and grabbed the man's shirt as he pointed the tip of the knife to the man's neck. 

"How dare you lay a hand on my Queen?" Alanis's voice is dangerous that even Moira shivered. 

"Woah! Cooldown brother. Cooldown!" 

"Alanis," She called him. "Stop. I wasn't bruised." She held his arm. "I am fine." 

    Alanis still glared at Winston and Moira put his hand down. 

"Come on, relaxed." She told him sweetly and he did relax. Moira took the knife from him and gave it to one of the guards and then once that she calmed him down, she did something that baffled everyone. She just used her hand to knock out Winston and then she smiled sweetly to the baffled Alanis. 

"You couldn't be more careful, are you?" he scooped her face and kissed her lips. 

"Yeah, I was annoyed." She kissed him back and his men dragged the body away and left them, flushing from the romance between the two. She pushed him and started unbuttoning his shirt. "Take a shower." 

"Okay." He removed his clothes and take her hand for her to watch him bath himself. 

    So, she did and just sat on the sofa on the corner and watch him bath himself. It didn't take long, and she helped him with drying and changing clothes. Alanis put his PJs and then carried her back to bed. She snuggled on him and had fallen asleep quickly. 

    Alanis looked at the engagement ring and it fits her perfectly. He's satisfied. He's going to marry her soon when she's ready.

    Andromeda calmed down after she had talked to Moira. Zach still couldn't understand why she acted that way and how can she know that Moira is in danger. Does she have superpowers? Zach rubbed her back and patted her hair. 

"Okay, now, you are calm, tell me why you freaked out?" He asked. 

"I nearly lost her." She told him. She held his hand and placed it on her beating heart. "In our family bloodline, we have this thing called Foreseeing a Catastrophic Future. It's like a superpower but it's not for me. The good thing is, I could avoid someone from getting killed or avoid the danger. Just a while ago, I saw Moira and Alanis almost got killed by snipers." 

    Zach watched her terrified eyes and her eyelashes shuddered. He reached her head and caressed it gently. 

"Moira is my sister. She's my family. And families protect each other… our ancestors swear that we will fight for our family and for those who tried to break us apart. Zach, I'm sorry. I am not the perfect wife. I can't cook for you every day or take care of you… there are just lots of missions that I have to fulfill." 

"Andy, stop saying sorry. I am your husband and you aren't my maid or cook. You are my wife." 

"Hmm. It's just, I love you so much that it hurts." She said. 

"I love you, so, so much Andy." He kissed her forehead. "Don't worry. I will be there for you and help you get through this." 

"Thank you, Zach."

    Ellen picked the suit that he needed to wear for tomorrow and the other day. She made sure that it's clean and not crumpled and then, she always put a handkerchief on his bag together with emergency medicines. Well, it looks like she's a real housewife. And just thinking of having him every day was so satisfying. 

    She glanced at her husband, busy doing some complicated programs and he's communicating with cousin Sabrina. She took a glass of milk and gave it to him. He gave her a kiss on the lip and go on with his work. 

"Okay. I got it, Brina. I'll be logging out." 

    He finished his milk and turned off his computer. Then, he strode to Ellen who is now applying lotion on her body. He took it from her and apply it and massaged it around her body. 

"How's the visit with your doctor?" He asked as he kissed her knees. 

"It's good. I just got my shot and we could use a condom first just to make sure." 

"Good. I'll check it there then." 

"Come on now, I need you badly." 

    Andel immediately slid inside her after he removed all of his clothes. Then he started making love to her and pull out before he explodes inside her. She had fallen asleep quickly and he covered her body. 

    When he got out, Fox is standing in front of the sliding door staring at the city lights and he's not blinking. 

"Fox?" He called. But he didn't turn around. "Oh, maybe he's foreseeing something." He watched Fox until Fox came back and nearly knocked himself on the glass door. "So, what do you see?" He asked. 

"I saw a woman." He said as he sat down on the floor. "I couldn't quite remember her face." 

"What about this woman?" He asked. 

"She's making love with me. And then, there's this scenario that she got robbed and she runs after the snatcher and got hit by a truck." 

    Andel blinked. That's brutal.
