Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

         Dmitri stared at himself in the mirror as he fixed the tux that is perfectly tailored for him. He stepped out from the dressing room and outside, Andromeda and Zachary are waiting. He looked over at Freya with Steven. She looked dazzling in a black and white gown.

"Okay, so what's the plan?" Dmitri asked Andromeda.

"Well, nothing much. We'll just observe their perimeter. At least you got a chance to be there, right?" Andy smirked at him.

         Dmitri laughed and nodded. He glanced at Steven and Freya that seemed to be not in a much of Public Display of affection today. Are they fighting?

"Let's get this over," Freya said coldly.

***

         It was in a big five-star hotel. Elite socialite is exposing their luxurious gowns and tuxedoes for the event. Dmitri looked around checking the guards surrounded them. It will be a good trap for the heiress of the Dragon Empire and without them knowing that the Phoenix Empire is also present.

"I need some drink," Freya said. They walked first on the red carpet and then Adrian is smiling greeting them.

"Lady Mondragon." He greeted. "Mr. Pattinson." Zach nodded to him as an acknowledgment.

"Mr. Black." Adrian smiled at Dmitri who gave him a businesslike smile.

"Thank you for your invitation Mr. Lebedov."

"Pleasures all mine." He looked past him. "Oh, this is Freya and Steven. I assume that you knew them already."

"Yes." He said with his tireless smile. "I heard that you got married. Congratulations." He said as he extended his hand. Dmitri accepted it and they squeeze each other's hand.

"Thank you. My wife couldn't come. She doesn't like crowds."

"I understand."

         Andromeda could see the tension between the two although they are plastering their faces. A host led them to their seat and served cold champagne. Freya grabbed one and smell the champagne then she sipped on it. Andromeda has been observing the couple and something isn't good. She saw how Freya is tired and she didn't like walking too much.

         Damn. What has been Steven doing to poor Freya? A man in a tux and playful smile approached. Them Andy glanced at Steven with a sour face. Freya only glanced at the man.

"Wren," Steven said coldly.

"Hey, Steve! Hi, Freya." He said playfully. Steven put a hand over Freya's thigh to claim her. "I was just checking."

"Who is this guy?" Dmitri asked Freya.

"He's Wren," Steven said. "Said to be one of Freya's subjects."

         Andy glanced at Wren who got a sudden dagger eyes to Steven, but he immediately changed it.

"Just go, Wren," Freya said coldly and finished her wine. Wren said bye to them and he walked off.

         Andromeda looked up at the upcoming couple. Moira looked like a dazzling queen on her red gown, wearing a 48 karat diamond on her neck. Her arm is intertwined with Alanis as he greeted Adrian warmly. Andy stared at the champagne glass as she played with it. Why? Why did he have to invite Alanis in the party? Why invite her?

         She scoffed. Is this one of the sneaky tricks that they are doing? They surely won't serve foods with poisons on it. She glanced at a dozen bodyguards behind them and Alanis also have his assassins lingering around like shadows. They choose to be on the same table with them and Moira greeted each one warmly. Andy saw how Moira eyed Steven and Freya. She also noticed them.

"Don't drink too much." Zachary murmured to her ear. "I have lots of plans for tonight."

         His voice tickled her, and she put a hand over his thigh.

***

         Freya excused herself and went out to find the powder room. Steven put down his champagne glass and followed her. Steven looked furious as he followed Freya. She found the powder room and a woman just got out from there. She immediately went in and then he held the door for her not to close it.

         He went inside and then he closed the door and locked it. He's breathing heavily as he grabbed her nape and pulled her. He pushed her to him so he could kiss her mouth torridly. She pushed him and started smacking his chest. He let go of her mouth and she slapped him hard.

"Why do you keep doing this?!" She screamed at him.

         He looked up as he blew some air. She started punching his chest and he only stands still. She continues punching but it wasn't hard and it's getting slow. She exhaled as tears started falling from her eyes.

"I am so tired, Steven…" She put own her hand and she dropped her purse.

"I feel tired, Freya." He said and looked at her. It's the first time that he saw her cry. "But I never wanted to give up on you. I don't want you to leave my house. I don't want you to be away from me and I don't like it whenever Wren is around you!"

         She exhaled and picked her purse.

"What's your relationship with him? Why does he care so much?"

         He scooped her neck like he's going to strangle her, but he held her gently and he wiped her tears with his thumb. He looked desperate.

"Tell me." He pleaded.

"I don't know what he felt for me." She said. "But he's my subject."

He wiped away her tears and nodded. He smiled at her tightly and kissed her lips.

"I won't be jealous until you provoke me. Don't let me see him get close to you." He wiped away her tears. "I won't make love to you tonight. I know that you are sore… but these past few days… I am so angry that I don't want you to leave the house. "I'm sorry. But I love you so much that fucking hurts."

         She nodded at him and then he kissed lip swollen lips lightly.

"I need to pee." She said. He let her and he just turned to wait there as she entered the cubicle. After a few moments, she went to the sink to wash her hands and fixed her make up.

         She smiled at him and he opened the door. She got out first and a woman got startled when they saw together leaving the powder room. Freya didn't look at the woman's eyes and she continued walking.

"Steven?" A girly voice said. Freya stopped and turned around as the girl pulled him and kissed both of his cheeks like it's a normal greeting. "What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I—I am invited." He said and looked at Freya. "Sorry, I have to go." He said and was about to leave but she held his arm.

"Wait! I need to talk to you."

         Freya frowned and Steven like it when she's jealous. But he doesn't want her to be jealous for too long. She'll burst out.

"Not now." He said and give her a tight smile. He pulled his arm and he wrapped his arm around Freya's small waist and pull her.

"It seemed that she had something important to say," Freya said and she eyed someone in the crowd. She looked at the man talked to Adrian like they've known each other as she peeked at the man.

"Hey?" He pulled her and kissed her forehead lightly.

         She kept looking around and they aren't just big-time people around. But some are known to be Lords of Underworld. She exhaled and composed herself as they reached their table. Zachary and Andromeda aren't in their seats and they already talking to a Senator. Then Dmitri is also speaking with a known Chef in the country.

"Babe?" Steven murmured to her ear since she kept on observing around scanning them one by one.

"Don't interrupt me. I am working." She said sharply.

"How about let's dance so you could scan more?" He asked. She nodded and took his hand as he led her to the dance floor. She put her hand over his chest and his at her small back as they dance a little while turning around. She pulled her purse that has a camera and scanned everything with a small camera that she installed there.

         Steven pressed his lips to her temple, and they dance closed at each other that get everyone's attention and make them envy. A Mondragon Prince and an unknown lady? It's big news. A playboy becomes hopeless romantic and few women wanted to look upon him, but it seemed that he became of those boys who only stick to one.

         Dmitri glanced over at Freya. Freya nodded at him to give him a sign that she's doing it right. Fin, on the other hand, is working on their background. He's at home and he's the one who's getting all the footage that Freya is taking.

"Let's walk around." She told him. He smiled and nodded as they walked around the corner like they are searching for a balcony. The balcony has the best view and they could see there in the garden some monkey business.
