Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

        It's already eight in the morning in Paris when her mother wakes them up since breakfast is ready and they need to go around the City to shop. She sat up and stretched her arms up and Wynter also sat up and gave her kisses. Their little sister is sweet and caring. They like taking care of her and she's very obedient.

"Can I have a new bag?" Cyra asked as she went to the bathroom to wash her face.

"Yes, anything you want," Andy mumbled and check her phone. She reached Wynter and take her to the family room where their breakfast is served.

        Their butler and maid checked the food if there is any poison on it.

"And we also going to attend Swan Lake tonight." He showed the tickets and Cyra squealed. He gave it to her.

"Thanks, daddy!" She hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek.

"I know that you'll love it." He bent down and kissed her head.

"The foods are ready, sir." The butler said. They all sat down together with their butler and maid and on the other tables are their bodyguards.

        After they ate and take a bath and groom each other they left their room as a family with bodyguards, butler, and maids. Then, the first store that they go to a store for shoes, and they choose carefully.

"I like this Louboutin but it's too big for my feet." Zendaya pouted at her mother.

"You can buy it and wear it when you get older."

"We have a sizing chart, Mademoiselle and there are shoes that would fit on yours." The accommodating sales lady. They have given lots of attention and Zachary is patient as sat on the sofa with Wynter on his lap and they are playing some games on his phone.

        After the girls and the boys had chosen their shoes, they left for a boutique of Versace. She looked around to check for a dress for tonight's dinner. Their gowns are already settled, and she wanted to buy something for the girls, so she called the girls from their group chat and they answered.

"So, we are here in Versace store, you better start texting me the clothes or things you wanted us to buy in here."

"Buy some Limo!" Kale said interrupting Bea. She pushed him away.

"Buy something for the upcoming baby."

"Buy me some dress!" Demi told.

"Yeah, I'll send you girls whatever you needed. Send me whatever you wanted!" She hung up and then started choosing a dress.

"Ellen gave birth to a twin girl and boy," Andy said and showed them the photos.

"Wow, they are so adorable." Crya admired.

"I think we need to buy some dresses and tuxedo so they could use it during our family dinner."

"Yeah."

"Mom, I found a store. I'll just buy some dresses." She told. "It's just on the other block."

"Okay, bring your bodyguard."

        One bodyguard followed her. She entered the store and she looked around.

"Latest designs, Mademoiselle." The sales lady said, and she smiled and entered the store.

        It's a tailored store and there are different designs and unique ones. She bought a dress just perfect for the girls and they are in red and maroon color. Perfect for their dinner meeting or parties. She pictures each of them and sent it to the group chat. They started choosing on the dress that they wanted and since she's familiar with their sizes. Athena also chose one.

        She started choosing red dresses and ask for the sizes. The fabric of each dress is so soft inside. She smiled at the sales lady who seemed to be happy with her. Her bodyguard followed closely as he kept close monitoring with the guards a few blocks away.

        They pack the dresses and they come out after with the bodyguard had her paper bags and she pointed another store excitedly. She walked too fast and the bodyguard tried to catch up.

"Miss!" The bodyguard called but she didn't hear it because it's a busy street and a scooter nearly hit her but an arm wrapped around her waist and then pulled her so she wouldn't get hit. She gasped and her eyes meet green eyes. She held on his chest. He's so tall and firm. He also smelled good.

        His smile curves together with his eyes.

"Mademoiselle!"

        She frowned and pushed him.

"Merci, for saving me. But I am completely fine."

"Lady Zendy!" The bodyguard came running. "Are you alright?" And he looked at the man in front of her. "Thank you for saving, Lady Zendy." He said.

"It's a pleasure to save her." He said then he noticed the necklace that she's wearing and it's a pendant of a dragon. Her mother gave it when she was an infant and it's real gold.

"Let's go." Zendy turned back but Timothy reached her wrist.

"Wait,"

        She turned back to him.

"You aren't following me, right?" She asked. She pulled her hand from him.

"No, I happened to see across the road." He smiled at her. "You are more beautiful without any make-up."

        She wasn't used on the flattery, so she frowned.

"Uhm, can I ask for your number? If it wasn't that a little bad—I mean, I just want to know you more."

"Why do you want to know me more?" She asked interrogating him a little.

"Well, I—I don't understand my feelings towards you the first time I lay my eyes on you.

        She frowned and stared at him. Then she looked at her bodyguard.

"I'll give you my surname when we met for the third time." She turned back from him. "Do not stalk me." She said and the bodyguard followed her.

"Tu es belle, Mademoiselle!" He shouted. She doesn't know what she should feel from what he said. She knows that she's beautiful but hearing it to a stranger who admired her makes her think. What the heck is that vision all about?

****

        Christian met her father in a dinner with her mother. They are rich family and the dinner is exquisite and but nothing too grand like the Phoenix and Mondragon since Dmitri owned an agent that is also Chefs.

"So, Christian, what's your parent's business?"

        Christian stopped eating and he mee Hazel's father's eyes.

"Our business already died after my parents die." He told. "I am living alone, Sir."

        Mr. Francisco stopped and glanced at his daughter.

"You are studying in the Empire Academy?"

"Scholarship, sir." He told and Mr. Francisco nodded. Looking into their eyes, he knew that they wouldn't approve of him. If his mother is still alive and their Empire isn't dead, they wouldn't think twice about letting their daughter marry him. But if it happens, he might be screwing different girls already because he had money. But his attitude wouldn't be as good as now. He's been shaped up well. "I am also working in the café."

"Oh, that's great. How did you meet my daughter?" He asked.

"She's my classmate."

        It turned bad after dinner. He just heard from her father and mother telling Hazel that he wasn't the one. Their skinny-dipping last night was good and Demi is also there who left them after seeing them. She might've seen his girlfriend naked and good thing that he hasn't put down his shorts.

        He left the rest house and went to his room as he packed-up. It's been three days and they still have five days to stay. Maybe he will just go to the Phoenix who accepted him though his family had done bad things.

        Taking his bag with him, he left the room, but Hazel blocked him.

"Where are you going?"

"My boss told me to go over there." He told. "They rented half of the resort. I am not good enough for you, Hazel."

        Hazel stopped.

"You heard it?"

"Yes, and I can see from your parent's eyes that they are afraid that we might be together and get married. I can't give you a luxury life, Hazel." He reached her face and he kissed her forehead.

"You never told me about your life status." She bit her lip.

"If I told you, you'll never like me."

"I still like you."

        He smiled at her tightly.

"I'll see you around." He left the room and went to the beach just in front of the tent. He sat down and stared at the big moon. Just a few meters away is Demi who is busy sketching on her tablet.

"So, they kick you easily?" Demi asked.

"Hmm, you guessed right, Princess."

"Their family isn't that rich, and they seek more power." She stood. "Come, dad will show us how to cook a lobster."

        Demi walked back to their cottage and he followed. The boys greeted him asking him if they would go on drinking, but their parents prohibited them.

        He doesn't have an appetite a while ago and seeing Dmitri prepare the lobsters with the chef makes him famished.

"Wash your hands, Chris, we are going to cook some lobster!" Dmitri called out. He nodded and put his bag on the chair.

        Demi is already washing her hands after tying her hair. They stood at each side of Dmitri as Dmitri told them how to cook it, cracking the head on the middle vertical of the lobster and put it on the boiling water and put sea-salt on it.
