Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

        It's 3:20 PM in Empire Academy. Casey continued finishing her sketch on the bench, under the acacia tree. She's too focused on the scenarios that she's sketching. She didn't notice a boy standing in front of her.

"Casey," She glanced at the boy. Ignoring him, she continued sketching on her sketchbook. "Uh, Casey?" The boy sound shy.

"What?" She asked coldly.

        The boy extended a pink rose to her, and she had smelled it. She took it and looked up at him.

"Why are you giving me this?" She looked straight into his eyes. He looked away and shyly scratched his head.

"I—I like you." He stammered. She rose her brows.

"I don't like you." She said casually, and she put down the rose and proceed to her sketch.

        The boy froze in front of her, and he sighed.

"I'll bring you another rose tomorrow then," He turned back from her. She stopped sketching and frowned.

"He's just wasting his time," Casey mumbled.

        Allison sat beside her and took the pink rose lying next to Casey.

"Poor boy," Allison mumbled, and she chuckled.

"Well, I am not that desperate to have a boyfriend."

"Oh-kay." Allison chuckled.

        A red-neck guy, black-top, hair sleek back, wearing denim pants, and a rubber shoes approached them.

"Girls, let's go." Jaxon signed them. Casey folds her sketchbook. They followed Jaxon to the parking lot. She halted when she saw Wynter looking at the Empire Bus. She approached her.

"Wynter," She called, and Wynter pointed the plate number.

"Why is this outside?" She asked.

"Well, they are talking the scholars back to their Condominium. Is there something wrong?"

"Yes," Wynter answered. "This can't go."

"Why?" Casey asked again.

        Wynter faced Casey.

"I think the Eagle Empire will show up anytime," Wynter said with a forced smile. Casey forcibly smiled back.

"Oh, f-ckkk."

        Wynter nodded at her. So, she contacted her mother, and they changed another bus with a chopper following the bus to the city. They also followed the bus while they are in the van that Jaxon is driving.

        Bea picked up her things.

"You can't go with us?" Dino asked again.

"I'm sorry. We have an event tonight." Bea said and waved at them.

        As soon as she left the room, a man blocking the way smiled at her, and extend the bouquets for her. She pressed her lips. She said that she had a boyfriend and left quickly and excitedly.

She went to the parking lot. Noah is waiting under the tree, and she approached him. He stood and wrapped his arms around her.

"We are off to the beach." Noah caressed her hair. "I take care of everything you needed for Esme's Party." He kissed her lips. "Do you need anything else before we leave?"

"Well, I want to—" She pulled his arms and she tiptoed. "Make love to you in the car on our way to the resort."

        His smile faded and he quickly pulled her into his arms and she giggled. Then, he opened his car open and tuck her in on the front seat. She giggled as she put her books away and her bag.

        Esme called out two of her friends that are only invited to the party. She told her friends not to invite anyone else or tell it to everyone. They are very secretive about her birthday because she didn't want to invite anyone else. Their party is always family and relatives.

        They settled their things at the trunk and Esme is laughing with his friends. But Rosie and Zayne always wanted Esme's attention. However, Laurence is here and they are always with Laurence.

        Laurence put them to their baby seat. They are also excited about the beach.

"Wait! Is there a seat for me?"

        Esme peeked outside.

"Kale?" Esme asked.

"Hi, baby girl!" Kale waved. Esme's smile grew wider. Laurence shut the door and then scroll the window.

"Join the other car. There's no space here!" Laurence said and he grinned at him.

"What—" Kale slumped his shoulders. "Come on, dude. Open the car. It's twelve-seater!" Kale tried to open it.

        Laurence showed his tongue to him.

"Just join the other car for the crew." Laurence waved him off.

"Laurence, there's four more vacant here," Esme told him.

"There's no vacant here." Laurence insisted and he told the driver to leave.

However, his father insisted to open the door, so he had no choice and let Kale inside. But it's a good thing for Laurence that Kale seated far away from Esme.

"You have your damn car." Laurence frowned at him.

"I wanted to see, Esme. Just shut up, okay?" Kale grinned.

        Cyra, Natalia, and Nathaniel arrived in the country a day before Esme's birthday. A driver picked them up and drove directly to the resort.

        They sleep for the whole travel and when they reached the resort. They found Kale and Laurence are bickering like girls. Laurence took Rosie and Zayne from their baby carrier.

"What in the hell is wrong with those two?" Cyra asked. Natalia only shrugged.

"Cy!" Luke and Logan exclaimed and the run to her she spread her arms and they hugged each other in a circle and started jumping in circles.

        Everyone is happy and Cyra finally had hugged her brothers.

"Cyra!" Then, there's her crazy father who ran to her and hugged the three of them tightly.

"Awh, how sweet?" Nathaniel chuckled. He approached his mother and hugged her and kissed her temple and then, he also hugged their baby sister Quin.

        Tomorrow is her birthday and at this moment, she's hanging out with Kale and her friends at the beach. She isn't wearing some bikini or something. Well, her cousins are wearing while they are playing near the water. Her make cousins are also topless.

"Wow, you didn't tell us that you have this kind of family," Lovie said as she licked her lips and watched every topless man. Lovie roamed her eyes to the stripped body of the boys.

"Yes," Ken agreed as he also gaped to the girls in a two-piece. Esme only laughed.

"That's because the family member should undergo physical training," Kale explained and he lay down only wearing his beach shorts and he put his sunglasses on.

"Esme!" Laurence waved. She stood and approached him. Laurence put his arms over her shoulder and dragged her away.

"Sh-t!" Kale quickly get to his feet and followed them.

        Esme still didn't get on why Laurence is dragging her away from Kale and then, there's Kade who joined the game of whatever they are playing.

"Hey, stop it!" Esme shouted at them but Laurence carried her to his arm and they run to the pool and he threw Esme there as Kade and Laurence grabbed Kale away.

        Esme groaned and she swam to the stairs. Laurence pulled her up and as soon as she reached the floor, she smacked him.

"I'm sorry." Laurence laughed.

<><><><>

        Athena sipped on her strawberry smoothie as she watched Laurence bully his sister. She watched as Esme started hitting Laurence and she pushed him on the pool. Kale and Kade laughed. Esme approached them and kicked them on the pool and she left.

        The three on the pool started splashing water at each other like they are kids.

"Lady Athena," her butler approached her and gave the phone. She thanked him and answered it.

"Yes?"

"Boss, one of our facility had a bomb threat."

"Which facility?" Athena stood from her seat and went to the other side.

"Switzerland. I already called the safety team and the investigation team to checked on this matter."

"Good. Give me an update and start investigating."

"Copy that." She hung up and went back to the main house.

        She spotted Zendaya busy on few paper works while Timothy is snuggling with her.

"Zen, we have some matter."

"Hmm." Zendaya shrugged. "I am also dealing with another matter. Wynter, Casey, Allison, and others aren't here yet."

"What?" She exclaimed.

"They let one of the buses ran and wait for someone to attack it."

"Wait, does your mom know about this?"

"Yes," Zendaya nodded. "I am currently checking the cameras in the area and at this moment, no attack has been made."

"Maybe, it's not that time." Athena shrugged.

"Yes," Zendaya said. "Timmy, can you please get me something to eat."

        Timothy nodded and he gets into his feet and left. Athena sat beside Zendaya.

"So, if Wynter saw it parked outside, then—"

"Yes, it's going to happen. We haven't received any threats lately." Zendaya told.

"I just received a message that the facility in Switzerland had received a threat."

"Hmm, I think this year will be in so much threat then." Zendaya shrugged.

        Athena slumped beside her.

"I see that you are still with Timothy."

"Yeah," Zendaya shrugged. "We are used to living together. Although, we have misunderstandings yet we solved it gradually. I can't let him go. He sacrificed his luxury life for me."

"Hmm,"

"And you haven't had a boyfriend, ever since?" Zendaya asked.

"I never met anyone appealing to me." Athena shrugged. Zendaya laughed at her.

"Why won't you just go and date?" Zendaya suggested. Athena shook her head.
