Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

        Andy arrived at her hotel room nearby to the beautiful penthouse building where Freya lived. She didn't let her notice about her arrival. She came in secretly a week ago. Steven is had also checked-in on the other room, but he didn't know that she's also in Manhattan. She only wanted to make sure that Freya is safe although she has bodyguards that keep on tailing her around.

         It's already dark when Steven came out of his hotel room and she followed him. Her father gave him Freya's address and since it's all part of her plan to get them back together, it will be easy for Steven to learn that Freya is pregnant.

         Freya is a Phoenix and she's bearing a child of a Dragon. Their family is getting bigger and the successors are being born. She won't worry too much about that.

         She watched Steven went to the bar instead of going out to the restaurant to eat. Freya had entered the bar and she strode to the counter and asked for a juice. They are just a few chairs away. Freya didn't notice him, but Steven's eyes are on her. When Freya noticed him, she froze from sipping on her juice.

         He took his drink and walked away. She seemed to hesitate but then she followed him.

         Andy wanted to punch Steven right through his face when he started to flirt with a blond girl who was all over her. Freya froze and just watched him flirt back. She reached her navel and then she left.

"Oh fuck." Andy murmured and followed Freya.

         Steven saw that Freya left. He pushed the blond girl and followed Freya grabbing her elbow. She's in an immediate defense action. He pulled her closer to him and with gritted teeth. He wanted to just strangle her for leaving him.

"Why did you show up?" He asked between gritted teeth.

"This is my bar." She said and she glanced at the blond. His hair is thick and long, and he grows beards, but it's trimmed. He looked so handsome and dangerous at the same time.

         Freya hesitates to touch it. She glanced at her bodyguard and halt them.

"I don't care." His gripped tightens.

"You don't want to see me? Fine. I won't show up. I will immediately turn back whenever I saw you."

"Good." He let her go.

"Are you sure that you don't want to see me?" She asked. She's waiting for him to accept her and their baby. But if he says no—it only means that the baby is hers only. And he seemed to enjoy being back as a playboy.

"Yes. I don't want to see you." He turned back from her and walked in the crowd.

         Freya's heart shattered into pieces. She hugged herself as she left the bar. Wren walked beside her and tried to touch her, but she told him not to. They walked out of the bar. She just felt like walking and she ignored the car.

         Steven stopped from his track as another girl tried to hook up on her. He looked back at Freya. His heart is thumping and then he received a slap from a woman. It's hard and then when he looked back at her he stepped back.

"An—Andy."

"You are such a fucking jerk!" She scolded him. He exhaled.

"If I go to her, Ivana will kill her."

"Then why do you have to take your time searching for her."

         He looked away. He's of course hesitating.

"Even if you don't leave her alone, that brat will still kill Freya. Do you know why?"

"Why?" He asked.

"Alanis just threaten to kill her, and she can't have Alanis, but that woman is crazy as hell—she's obsessed with you."

         Andy glanced at her wrist watched just like what she did in her vision. She stormed outside and went in different directions, but Steven followed Freya on the alley where the shortcut on the way to the Penthouse and what he saw make him shuddered.

***

         Freya stopped as men in black cornered her. They are all wearing tuxedoes. She zipped her leather jacket and she inserted her hand to the pocket of her trench coat that she wears over her leather jacket. Wren immediately secured her back.

         A woman from the white sedan came out and Freya noticed the Eagle Brooch that she's wearing. She scoffed and shook her head. It made the woman amused. Freya tilted her head and click both buttons that were given to her.

"Well—Well… wasn't you the legendary Freya that Steven loves so much?"

"Yes." She said casually. "Weren't you the Russian bitch that Moira nearly killed?" She asked back sarcastically, and Wren nearly laughed.

         It makes Ivana frowned. Freya needs to be careful. She can't get killed. Her baby can't get hurt. It's time for Freya to show who she is. Her army is ready and she's ready. She raised her hand and then she removed her necklace and adjust it to show the Phoenix Emblem. Wren watched her do it and Freya tied her hair.

         Ivana gaped as she stared at her necklace shinning from the streetlights. She immediately grabbed a gun from her men and pointed it to her.

"You!" She screamed angrily. It angers Ivana more knowing that Steven is in love with a Phoenix. She is disgusted with them. "I should've known." She pulled the trigger and a man pulled Freya and covered her.

         A sound of two metals clings stopped them all. A bullet didn't go through Freya. It was blocked by another bullet. They looked around.

"Babe…" Steven reached Freya's face and covered her as he glared around. Ivana screamed as she pointed it again to the and Freya twist her body to block the bullet from Steven. She gasped and felt the bullet on her skin, but it didn't go through her and the jacket protected her.

         Steven caught her and Ivana started laughing.

"Ouch," Freya muttered.

"Babe! Why did you fucking do that?" Steven scold her and hold her tightly. Wren pulled out his gun and pointed it to Ivana.

"I am fine." She murmured.

"Fine?!"

         Freya sat up and suddenly a dozen men that jumped out of nowhere circled Freya and Steven. Wren's eyes are murderous.

"Do not kill her yet," Freya told Wren. "I wanted her to get hurt." She said. Wren never missed a bullseye, so he shot Ivana on her arm and leg as she screamed. He shot her before her bodyguard could cover her. He shot again to aim her other leg, but her bodyguards covered her, and he was shot at the back.

         Suddenly, only by one her men fell on the ground as blood washes them.

         Freya's men had cornered them with sharp burning eyes. It's a bloodbath and the rest of her bodyguard take Ivana away as they retreated.

         Steven reached her face and then checked her. She's not even bleeding. He's full of worry. He didn't notice that he's tearing and he's shaking of losing her. Freya's eyes burn as tears started forming from her eyes.

"Boss," One of her men checked her back.

"I'm fine." She said. "Let's retreat. We will leave early morning. Everyone who is here will move out." She said as she wiped away Steven's tears. "I am wearing a bulletproof jacket. Andy gave it to me."

         He exhaled and he hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't let you go a while ago."

         Steven carried her as her men surrounded them, following their every move.

"You can put me down." She said softly.

"No."

"Let's go to my penthouse."

         Steven followed her bodyguards as they escorted them to her penthouse. Wren entered the code and they checked inside first and use a device or something and then they left. He put her down on the sofa and then she removed her coat and then her jacket. She removed the bullet from her jacket and checked it.

         An Eagle Emblem is craved on the bullet. She stood and he grabbed her down and he ripped her shirt from the back to check the reddened spot. He kissed it and he hugged her.

"I thought that you don't want to see me." She said.

"No." He kissed her naked shoulder and ripped it all off. "I want you badly." He rubbed her the red spot.

"Does it still hurt?" He asked.

"Not really." She stood and take him to her room. She removed her brasserie and then he removed his coat and his shirt. Then he helped her removed her jeans. He ripped her panties and carried her to bed.

"I am staying with you for good." He kissed her lips passionately. She moaned and let him devour her. She wanted him. She wanted him badly.

         They make love the whole night and in the morning. Steven woke up earlier. He smiled. He's finally contented. His heartfelt so alive than ever. She only belongs to him. He kissed her lips and then he went to the bathroom to do his business. Then he flushed the toilet and then washed his hands.

         He stopped seeing the scattered pregnancy strips. He took three of it and it showed two red stripes. Is this what Andy meant when she said that he needed to know something? Is she finally pregnant?
