Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

 Timothy drove Zendaya's car as he dropped her off to school. He opened the car door for her and took her bag from the backseat and gave it to her.

"You need to eat. Don't skip any meals and don't skip work out." She told.

"Yes, love." He said and scooped her face and kissed her lips.

"Sleep more than eight hours a day."

"Seven hours." He told and kissed her forehead. "You should also take care of yourself when I am not around."

"I will."

"You say, physical training for the whole semester?" He asked.

"Yeah." She grinned.

"I know that you'll enjoy it avoid getting hurt."

"I will."

 She hugged him tightly and he kissed her lips more.

"Don't lose your Easter Egg." He told as he lifted the egg.

"I won't." She tiptoed. "Kiss me more."

 Timothy grinned and he kissed her passionately in front of many students. He pulled away.

"Hey! Enough that. We'll be late!" Athena said and pulled her.

 Zendaya laughed and she waved at him. Timothy waved back and greet her siblings and her cousins and others.

 He closed the door and Fin, Bea's father approached him.

"Can we speak at my office for a while?" Fin asked. Timothy nodded and he locked the car as he followed Fin to the office building to his office.

 So, there's Andromeda, Freya, and Dmitri. He took a seat as Fin offered him and then Andromeda toss a bottle of juice to him and he caught it. He opened the cap and swig it to his mouth.

"Tim," Andy leaned on the desk. "Do you know some martial arts?" She asked.

"Yes, I know taekwondo and aikido." He replied and Andy nodded.

"You should learn more. Anyone who joined our family should learn more self-defense."

"I—I understand." He nodded. "Can I ask why?"

"Well, there are many threats in our family and since you are already part of it, we need you to be more than our girls. This means, you also need to train yourself for other attacks and defends." Andy explained. "You should be more cautious. Since you join a business with Christian, there will be a tendency that it will be their first target."

 A knock on the door interrupted them and Fin approached the door and opened it. Sabrina entered the room and Andromeda grinned.

"What took you so long?"

"My husband kept bugging me." Sabrina greeted Andy with a hug then the boys as she took a seat.

"Tim, this is Sabrina Mondragon-Alvarez-Lawson." Andy introduced and Timothy stood and extend his hand to her. Sabrina shook it.

"I'm Timothy De la Fontaine and it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Please to meet you too, Tim. Sit down." Sabrina said and Timothy sat back to the sofa.

"What's up?" Sabrina asked.

"Well, Brina, I need to gather all of the details of ninja assassin clan. Anything you know." Fin started.

 Sabrina bit her lip. Alanis had ninja assassins. Then, there's another one the one that attacked her back in Beijing.

"Alanis had ninja assassins." Sabrina said.

"Yes, we know that, but they are the exception," Dmitri told. Sabrina nodded.

"There's a Clan in Japan," Sabrina said. "It called デスクラン (Des-ukuran), means Death Clan."

 Timothy thought about it. His father somehow encountered a Japanese man and if he wasn't mistaken, the way the man dresses and hidden metals behind his clothes, he's sure that it was a ninja. He somehow saw metals through the x-ray gadget that detects or could only see metals behind an object. He saw shuriken, caltrop, kunai, and kyoketsu-shoge.

 He was waiting in the car when his father met the guy in the café and passed the envelope. It was a swift movement like his father just bumped with the person. It seemed to be serious because his father is hiding behind his hat and trench coat.

 And at that time, one of her father's rival is dead in just a night.

"I think my father knows some ninja clan." Timothy raised. "I don't know the name or any identification, but I am sure that it was a ninja." He told.

"How do you know that it was a ninja?" Sabrina asked and Timothy explained to them what happened and how he detected it.

"It might be one of the possibilities." Fin said.

"Fin, your people are trained to be ninjas." Freya suddenly snapped. "What if one of your men is a spy?"

 Fin think harder. Then he explained to them what Bea had envisioned. Fin's men always have a mark as a sign that they are phoenix. But Bea didn't remember anything about it.

 Athena is riding her horse as she raised her bow and arrow and hit the board that just appeared in the shape of a person. Then she hit another after another, swiftly as she bounced from the horse. Each board received bulls' eye and when she came back everyone clapped their hands. They knew that it wasn't her first time.

"100 points for you, Athena." Her professor smiled as he records her score.

"Thank you, Sir." She took her horse to the close stable and she hopped out and patted the horse. She stopped and looked at the bench where her mother is with Andromeda and Dmitri.

 She probably had seen the whole thing. She looked at Bea who seemed to be not in good condition and she approached her.

"What in the hell is the matter?" Athena asked. Bea hugged her and Athena hugged back as she looked at the twins, Natalia and Nathaniel, and then to Kale. They shrugged. "What's wrong?" She asked again.

"I don't have a gift for you." Bea pulled away and pouted. Athena laughed and punched her shoulder teasingly. Bea laughed as well, and the Professor called for Kale.

 They waited until it ended for fifty students. Sabrina left with Andromeda and probably would room around the activity center to check their kids.

 They went to their locker to change clothes for the next activity which is gun war. It's an actual training where they are going to be in a war. But those are hologram and when they got shot, it still hurt like bitch.

 Still, they are wearing a safety vest and helmet and glasses. They went to the cafeteria first and there's a burger for protein for snack and bento box is ready for lunch. Food is great in the cafeteria and everything is famishing, and students didn't get hungry. The Cafeteria is good at balancing each student's diet, so everyone is very athletic.

"What's up, Bea?" Athena asked.

"I am just sleepless." She sat down as she put her tray. "But our activity today boosts me up. I am more excited about upcoming activities."

 She opened the foil of the burger and she took a big bite. She hummed and chewed. Bea's appetite is big as she threw a lot of energy into it. Just like all of them.

"So, what's a plan for your 20th birthday?" Bea asked.

"Just a family and friends celebration," Athena said. "EPUAs whole A-list crew will be there as usual."

"Maybe I could mingle-mingle," Bea said with a grin. Athena laughed and just nodded.

 Zendaya approached them with her tray and she slumped down with a grin.

"What's with the smile?" Kade asked as he sat down.

"She beat out each of the boys and girls," Laurence said and he sat down beside Zendaya and took his burger removing the foil and take a bit bite.

"Yeah. And I heard that Tim and Chris's café goes well today." She said and looked at Demi. "There are lots of investors coming in and out, but they didn't accept any, waiting for someone's approval." She winked at Demi. Demi only shrugged.

"I'll check if they succeed on the second café," Demi said and continue eating.

"Don't worry, Timmy is doing everything for it." Zendaya made sure of that.

"Zen, there's De la Fontaine that will always enter the scene and walk in a red carpet," Demi told and shook her head.

"You don't trust Chris?"

"I trust Christian and he's very hardworking like your boyfriend." Demi looked at her Easter Egg pendant. "I think your pendant is too big," Demi said.

 Zendaya raised it and it was indeed big. It's quite heavy but it's adorable.

"It isn't a locket?" Aria asked and checked it as she reached the Easter Egg.

"It's not a locket. It's just an egg." Zendaya said.

"Why Easter Egg?" Demi asked again.

"I think it's because we met on an Easter Month Celebration." She shrugged. "It's adorable and expensive."

"Yes. That's probably 35.7 karats." Laurence said and checked.

"Why are you guys suddenly checking my necklace?" She asked.

"We'll sell it if we get broke," Asher told and checked it with his eyeglasses and adjust it to check it further. "It's—" Aria took the Egg pendant and gave it back to Zendaya. "What?" Asher asked Aria but it looked like his twin is kicking him under the table.

"What?" Zendaya asked and Athena laughed.

"Clueless." Athena shook her head.

 Bea grinned and also shook her head.
