Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

 Xavier felt relaxed when he finally arrived in the Philippines. He drove his car back to his house to drop off the bags and clean the fridge. He didn't waste any time. Or he didn't even rest. After he's done cleaning, he goes directly to the facility. He went to Zendaya's office and asked the assistant about her. But the assistant said that Zendaya is off from a week trip. 

 Since his work will start tomorrow, Xavier left the facility and went to the Empire Cafe. There, Christian is on the counter and there are a lot of customers around. He approached the counter and Christian smiled up at him. 

"Xavier!" He walked around the counter and hugged him. Xavier patted him. "You missed all of the parties…" 

"I know." Xavier nodded. "Have you seen Athena?" 

 Christian stopped for a while and shook his head. 

"She's off on a trip with Zendaya and others." 

"She's in a place where she doesn't have many memories with you," Demi said as she came out from the kitchen. She crossed her arms and frowned at him. 

"Hi, Demi." Xavier smiled at her and looked at her bump hidden from the apron but still, it's a little visible. 

"Welcome back. I'll give you a bitter soup for your bitter life." Demi mumbled and went back to the kitchen. 

"I'm sorry." Christian mouthed at him. Xavier chuckled. It's his fault for leaving Athena. He ordered his food and paid for it but Christian told him that it's all on him. 

 Soon, the food was delivered to his table with Demi's bitter soup. Christian pulled a chair for her and she sat down. 

"I'm sorry, for hurting Athena, Dem. I can't get back to her until my mom is done with her session. It's hard for her to accept the fact and if she knew that I had a relationship with Athena, I don't know what else would happen." 

"I understand," Demi said. "But I don't understand why you have to hurt her like that. Just leave without any proper closure?" Demi asked. Xavier shrugged. 

"So, you guys never break up before?" Xavier suddenly asked as he started eating. More foods came and Demi started eating too. 

"We did," Demi told. "Like multiple times. But the two of us never had any relationship with anyone after that. That's what I know, I don't know Christian if he ever impregnated someone." 

"I did impregnate someone and that's you," Christian said clearly. "But seriously, I never thought of wooing another woman but her," Christian told Xavier. "It's just an obstacle in a relationship." 

"Hmm," Xavier agreed to it. But his heart is yearning for Athena at the moment and as he eats.

 Nathaniel hugged his wife from behind and kissed her exposed shoulders. 

"You are dazzling and beautiful." He said softly. 

"Thank you." 

 She's wearing a black glimmering long gown with a slit on her thighs down. She's curvy and beautiful. Nathaniel would like to make love to her in her gown but he'll ruin it. Nathaniel scooped her perfect breasts and he walked around in front of her and kissed both of her chests. 

"Nate, we need to leave." 

 Nathaniel smirked at him and they went downstairs. Laurence is waiting for them and he's dressed up in a tuxedo. 

"Sorry, Rence." Nate sneered at him. Laurence rolled his eyes. They went to the garage and Nate opened the backseat for her. She sat down while Nate took the shotgun seat. Laurence drove the car to the party in another city. 

 Nate's phone started ringing like crazy and he answered it. 

"Yes?" 

"Sir, Mr. Gilbert's kept on calling. They are here and he's with two people from our company." 

"You mean, two people that I terminated from our company?" 

"Yes. I think they are working for him now." 

"Okay, that's not a problem. I would only want to have a peaceful party and no business." He said to him. 

"Yes, sir." 

 Nathaniel and Laurence are the main guests at the party. Somehow, Laurence will be going to take over Chicago after his graduation. They soon reached the hotel. Nathaniel glanced at his wife who put her fur coat on. Laurence came out first and Nathaniel came out next and he opened the car door for his wife and helped her out. Laurence gave the keys to the valet. They walked on the red carpet and showed their invitation. The host approached them and greeted them warmly and even led them to their seat. 

 Nathaniel walked straight with his wife's hand at his elbow. They went to their seats that would completely attract people. Nathaniel helped his wife by taking out his fur coat and he gave it to Mr. Lewis who approached them. He also took out his winter coat and gave it to Mr. Lewis. Laurence also gave his winter coat to Mr. Lewis and thanked him. They sat down and the server came to give them drinks. Kelsie thanked them and she held Nathaniel's hand. 

"Oh, so sweet. Stop making me feel bad here." Laurence complained as he looked around. He sipped on his wine as he observed the people. Few girls looked on his way or more like they murmured at each other while looking at him or to Nathaniel. 

"Did you find someone that you can take to a hotel suite?" Nathaniel asked. 

"No. I am not searching for someone. I am searching for possible threats." 

"Ah," Nathaniel shrugged and sipped on his wine. "Well, lots of women are gawking at you. Lots of heiresses would go after you." 

"I'm not interested." He said coldly.

"Okay. I'm not forcing you or anything." Nate hands up. 

"Excuse me," Laurence said and stood. He went to the bathroom. 

 Nate exhaled and smiled at his wife. 

"Stop messing on, Laurence. He's broken-hearted." 

"I know." 

 They heard about what happened to Esme and Laurence and how Percy need to hurt his son for being dumb. But it happened. It's not like their Aunt Andromeda didn't hit them while they are on training. They watched as Laurence walked to the bathroom while a girl eventually collided with him and he held the girl so she wouldn't fall. The girl apologized but Laurence ignored it and he walked straight to the bathroom. 

 Nate chuckled and Kelsie shrugged. 

"See? That's love." She told him. 

"Or the girl is too beautiful?" Nate said. "Laurence would hook up on her but it seemed like he's not in his right mind." 

"Stop it," He's in his right mind. 

"Hey, Nate." Nate turned around as Oliver Gilbert tapped his back. He probably doesn't have an idea. Nate stood and faced Oliver. "I didn't know that you could be in such a luxury party." Oliver teased. Kelsie rolled her eyes and sipped on her champagne. She stood and pulled Nate's arm. 

"Oliver," Nate acknowledged. "We are only here because of an invitation." He told them. 

"Ah," Oliver nodded. "By the way, Kate is my new assistant and Ricky. Remember them?" 

"Yes, how can I forget them." Nate smiled at them forcibly. "And this is my wife, Kelsie." 

"Hi," Kelsie smiled at them sweetly as she placed a hand over her husband's chest. 

"Well, the rumor is true. You are married." 

"Yes," Nate replied. 

"Okay, I will go around," Oliver said and Nate's assistant came. Oliver faced the assistant and Nate turned back from them. "Mr. Lewis, I have been trying to contact you~~" 

"Excuse me." Mr. Lewis cut him off. He approached Nate. "Sir, your father called. He couldn't get through you." 

"Oh," Nathaniel took out his phone and received a few missed calls from his father. "I accidentally put it on silent. Thank you, Lewis." He told him. "Uhm, can you get some fruits for my wife?" 

"Yes, sir." Mr. Lewis left. At that time, Oliver is puzzled. Kate moved closer to him and murmured to him what happened to the Dragon Empire Distilled HeadQuarters. 

 His brows creased but seeing someone familiar flattened the crease on his forehead. Laurence Pattinson is walking toward them. It's good to collaborate with them since they are close to the Dragon Empire. 

"Nate," he called Nathaniel and he was puzzled as he sat with them and took out his phone and showed something. 

 Oliver is confused at the moment. His father was after them and now he's after them, and he can't accept that the boy that he bullied back in college for being poor will be Nathaniel. He doesn't know his surname, but Kate has been with him, and they are sleeping behind his back. He did a lot of things to make him feel bad. The host came up on stage, and the party was on. They mentioned Nathaniel Mondragon and his wife and then Laurence Pattinson. His life was messed up at the moment. Is this why Nathaniel doesn't want to sign up the control with them? His dad is going to be disappointed in him. 

"Why the fuck didn't you tell me?" Oliver hissed at Ricky.

"We aren't sure that he's the real president of the Dragon Empire. The President of the Dragon Empire keeps a low Profile, and everyone only addresses him as Mr. Mondragon." Ricky told.
