Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

       Selina is preparing for the baby shower that her mother settled for her. They held the party in her mother's house, and everyone seemed to be also excited to be there. She's also excited about the baby shower.

"Mom and Agent Sanchez are dating?" She asked Fin.

"Don't you like it?" Fin asked back and caressed her round stomach.

"It's fine with me. Mom seemed to be in love with Agent Sanchez and I never saw a man looked at mom like he did." Selina smiled as the usual poker face Agent Sanchez seemed to be smiling more around her mom.

"He's not that bad at all. He could retire from the Dragon Empire since he had an automobile business."

"Well, whatever her decision, I am up for it. He'll just make sure that my mom won't get hurt by his actions."

"I am sure that he won't." He said softly.

"What's with the question?" She asked as she reached the smoothie that he prepared and sipped on it.

"Oh! Andy and Zach are here." Fin stood from the sofa and approached the two.

        Selina noticed the blooming Andromeda. She's been smiling a lot and she looked younger than her age. Younger. She looked so bright beside Zachary. Zachary's arms are possessive around her, and they stick like that.

        Selina thought at first that they wouldn't get along because of the announcement that their grandfather set. Their grandfather and Andromeda almost killed each other because she doesn't want to marry Zachary. But now seemed like they can't get enough each other. She envied them whenever she saw how Zachary would be a big cling to her and they always show affection. With Fin with her, she knows what true love means.

        Andromeda approached her and sat beside her. She gave her a box with a pink ribbon. She thanked her and removed the ribbon and she looked at her puzzled.

"It's a new baby monitor that Zachary made." She winked.

"Wow." She checked it and it's more high-tech than other nanny cameras.

"You are the first one that had it. Zach is also going to distribute one to Stanley and James."

"Thank you, Andy. This is a big helped." She said. Andy smiled at her and reached her stomach.

"This baby girl can't wait to come out, huh?"

"Yeah. Fin's been paranoid."

"Well, it's for both of your safety." She told and looked around. "Old friends are here from school?"

"Yes. We still get in touched and Mom invited them."

"Oh-kay!" Andy glanced at familiar faces. Girls, approaching her husband like he's a bachelor. She frowned at them and Zachary tried her best to getaway. He excused himself many times, but they keep surrounding her and asking lots of things.

        Selina noticed Andromeda's extreme jealousy. She's going to kill them. Zachary looked on their way and he quickly escaped from them and approached them.

"Hi, love!" He smiled at her nervously.

"I'm going to kill them." She stood ready to rip their mouth and Zachary hugged her and kissed her neck.

"Baby calm down. They are just old friends from high school."

        Selina snickered and looked at the door as Freya and Steven arrived with Agatha and Dmitri. Just the people she wanted to see. Freya strode to her and since they are sisters like, she gave her gift to her. She opened the gift to find different things. Like rattles and a small teddy bear and other stuff.

"Thank you."

"I don't know what to buy so I just picked whatever I could see," Freya said.

"The baby would love it."

        Freya looked around and nudged Steven.

"You hungry again?" He asked. She hissed at her since she said it a little loud.

"This is your fault." She gritted at him.

        Still, they looked so adorable. Steven waved at her and take Freya to the kitchen.

        The party goes on and their friends left the baby shower. Only her family stayed. On the sofa, Andromeda is already sleeping on Zach's lap, her head in his arms while her arms around his neck and cuddled to him. She's sleeping like a baby.

"You should take her to the guest room," Cersei told.

        He stood with her in his arms. Soon as they left, her mom sat beside her.

"I—I have something to tell you." Cersei started as she took her hand. Selina glanced at Fin and grimaced.

"You're not dying, are you?" She asked.

"No." Cersei exhaled and looked at Agent Sanchez. "I'm sorry that I wasn't a great mom to you."

"What are you talking about? Don't tell me that I am not your daughter?" She creased her brows.

"I found your dad," Cersei said quickly. She closed her mouth and blinked her eyes.

"Mom… you know that I don't care about that now."

"But you have to know." She said. "I took her DNA to matched with him." She gave her the envelope and she looked at the red letters that said to be POSITIVE. She looked at the name and she froze. Roco Sanchez. But isn't he the bodyguard of her mother?

        She looked at Agent Sanchez on the corner who is watching them, and she gave it to her mother.

"Okay." She said. She doesn't know what to feel. She knows that Agent Sanchez is a good man and she saved her many times from kidnappers. "Then, are you happy, mom?"

        Cersei didn't expect that she would ask such a thing.

"If you are happy then I am happy. If you wanted me to call him dad, then I will. Mom, your happiness is my happiness."

"I don't want you to just be okay with it."

"Mom, I am old enough. Besides," She looked at Agent Sanchez and smiles. "I know that you love him. You'll get married soon but I should get married first, okay?"

        Cersei is tearing but she wiped it off. She doesn't usually cry. She doesn't like showing her emotions to others.

"I am happy for you. I am sure that Dad will protect you no matter what."

        Fin smiled as he looked at Agent Sanchez who seemed to show emotion when Selina called him dad. Well, everything is great. She's happy.

"You aren't mad or something?" She asked.

"No. I am happy that the crazy man a day ago isn't my father."

"Thank you." Cersei hugged her daughter.

***

        Zach heard on what's going on downstairs. He smiled. Maybe the year 2020 isn't bad at all. There are so many blessings that come to them despite disasters, pandemic, and threats. He went back inside the room and unpack few clothes.

        Andromeda sat up and rubbed her stomach.

"What do you want to eat, love?" He asked as he prepared her negligee and panties.

"Food." She muttered.

"I'll get your food. What are you craving for?"

"Siomai." She answered. Zach stopped for a while. They don't have siomai in the kitchen and its already dark outside nearly midnight.

"Okay, I'll go downstairs and check if they had that."

        He walked to the kitchen and found Dmitri and Steven there preparing whatever food that they are preparing.

"Hey. Do we happen to have siomai here? Andy is craving for that."

        Dmitri pointed the seamer where dumplings are being steamed with siomai.

"You just saved me, bro." He sat on the breakfast stool and watch them make foods for their women.

"You need to be ready for all of her cravings," Dmitri told.

"Yes. I will get ready for anything." Zach glanced at Steven. "So, Freya is also a craving for dumplings?"

"Freya is complicated. She said that she like dumplings and then she saw it—she would say different food again."

"Oh." Zachary also needs to be ready for that.

"But after that, she would finish a bowl of dumplings first and said that she's full."

"Maybe that's because of the twins," Dmitri told him.

"Steven!" Freya calls. They looked at Freya walking in a big t-shirt and barefoot. "I am freaking hungry."

"It won't take long, babe."

        She hugged Steven from behind. Steven is a tall man and she looked like a little girl. Soon, Agatha came and kissed him on the cheek then she sat beside him and watched her husband cook.

"Moira and Alanis left already?" Agatha asked.

"Yes. I think Moira wouldn't have any drinking buddies for a while." Zach grinned. Freya peeked at Zachary.

"Moira isn't pregnant?" Freya asked.

"No," Zach answered and reached a bottle of wine.

"I thought it's gonna be the clan's season for pregnancy."

"That smell good." Andy came in and started looking at the foods around.

"If you keep eating—you'll get fat." Agatha joked. Andy laughed and flaunt her sexy body.

"I don't care if I get a little fat as long as my baby is healthy and could kick someone ass even if she or he is still inside my stomach."

"Wow," Agatha said and she laughed.

"Hey! Mondragon should always be careful with everything and they need to be trained. I will train my kid with the way my grandpa did—"

"But our baby needed to live her life whatever she wanted." Zachary reached her hand and pulled her. "I love you." He said softly.
