Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

        It wasn't a mansion at all but a normal house but it's wide and has a great garden. There are lots of underground things that's why the lawn is wide and Fin has been planning with Zachary to build it for her 20th birthday.

        Soon, Liam and Kade are already in their house and Christian called the house to confirm that they were indeed at home.

"I think you need to just slack off and relax," Thunder told Bea.

"I need to finish this since in two days, will be back to school and do whatnots."

"You are graduating this sem," Sophia said and creased her brows.

"Yes, and I also have to work on that research." Bea massaged her forehead. "I need a massage right now." She mumbled.

"I also need that," Sophia said. "I should just book our usual spa."

"Yeah, tomorrow at 1300H. I think I'll be waking up." Bea said dramatically.

"You are always dramatic." Thunder rolled his eyes and since he's sitting on the front passenger seat.

"I wonder, why didn't you join the drama club?" Aria asked.

"Piss off Aria." Bea rolled her eyes on her.

"What?" Aria laughed.

"So, Noah, since when did you come back?" Kale asked.

"I think it was two days ago," Noah told.

        Her ears suddenly ring and she closed her eyes hard. She looked around trying to recognize the man who just spoke and answer Kale's question.

"Who was that?" Bea asked.

"What's wrong?" Sophia asked. She shook her head and reached her head trying to remember where she heard that voice. "Are you okay?"

"I think her ear is ringing," Noah said. "I had that sometimes." He took out an ointment from his compartment and passed it behind her. "You should put a little amount on your fingertips and massaged it to the point between her forehead and then her temple," Noah instructed.

"Okay, thanks!" Sophia did as what he instructed, and it makes Bea feel better for a while and she closed her eyes and relax.

        Noah checked the residence from the GPS and it's just 1 KM away in the subdivision close to her parent's house. It's the end lot and has a good location. Noah looked around and houses are far away from her house.

"Party!" Rhys and Raiden said from the backseat.

        Noah opened the door for them and helped Sophia stepped out from the car and followed by Bea. He lent a hand on her and she stared at it and then up to his face. She's seemed to be in horror as she pushed him away.

"Why are you here?" She asked almost a whisper.

"Miss Bea," he said questioning her. He's also baffled from her question. She took her bag from him and she walked inside and place her hand over the scanner of the house, and they all entered.

"Let's go inside!" Raiden put a hand over his broad shoulders.

"I think I am not invited," Noah said.

"Nonsense!" Rhys said and started pushing him inside.

        Zendaya and Timothy arrived with the drinks and Christian helped them.

        Bea went directly to her room and she rubbed her head and the scent of the ointment, peppermint mixed with honey or some rosemary. She smelled it before and the voice and the guy? This can't happen. She exhaled and panicked. A knock on the door makes her startled and it was opened by Kale.

"What's going on?" Kale asked.

"That—That guy, why is he here?"

"He's a Phoenix Agent. He's working for your father."

"What?!" Bea exclaimed and her heart is in so much adrenaline. Kale entered the room and pushed her to the sofa to seat.

"What the hell is wrong?" Kale asked. "Breathe, okay?"

        Bea breathes in and breathes out.

"We are going to the party downstairs. Can you still go?"

"I think, I will just stay here."

        Kale shook his head.

"Demi said that she's going to prepare your favorite."

"I am fine," Bea told. "I'll just sleep."

"You can't sleep like that. You are still in an adrenaline rush because of that guy." Kale stopped. "Is that guy,"

        Bea shook her head.

"Then I guess, he is. Let's go downstairs since you couldn't even sleep at this moment." He dragged her downstairs and she mt Noah's eyes. He smiled at her and she looked away.

        How is she going to drink and eat in front of him? There's a doorbell and then she went to the corner to check the person. Athena waved at the monitor and she types her code and the gate opens. Then soon, she walked up to the main door and open for her.

        Athena hugged her and she hugged her back.

"I bought the finest drinks from Hawaii." She pulled up the paper bags.

"And the guy you met?"

"He'll have to come back in five years if he's really into me." She told.

"Athena!" They all greeted her.

"Hey, guys!" She waved. "I still have other stuff in the car. Can you help me?"

        Rhys and Raiden approached her and kissed both of her cheeks. Then they went to her car to get whatever is there. Bea didn't spot Noah around and maybe he's in the kitchen.

"I already got my gift for you," Athena told and she lifted the paper bag.

"Thank you." Bea pouted at her and they went to the sofa and she opened it. She gasped and hugged Athena. "Just the sneaker that I needed."

"Yeah, you were eyeing it but you said that you have lots of sneakers and you need to save money for your project."

"Yeah, it costs millions." She sighed and asked Thunder for her champagne. Thunder get it for her and Athena.

        Zendaya sat beside her and Athena eyed Timothy.

"Hey, handsome!" She greeted.

"Hi!" Timothy greets back and he approached her.

"So, I heard the chaos." Athena started. Timothy only laughed at it.

"Sophia is making money over it." Tim winked and Athena only laughed.

"That's good." Athena nodded. "I am also here to help with the funding. So, we got an auction this coming weekend, I'll sell a few valuable things that I own."

"So, this project is going to get bigger." Bea massaged her forehead.

"I am always here to help and with the behalf of the Lawson and Alvarez Family." She said with a smile. "I'll fund for 1 million from my savings and the rest of my things that are old and unused will be in auction and I heard that they have been searching for things back in 2020." She said.

"2020 is the year where pandemic starts and more like racism and like the 2nd wave in the USA," Aria said.

"Yup. That year."

"That year, my parents are on their honeymoon to make me." Demi interrupted and served the foods that she prepared. They all laughed.

"My parents are also making me that year," Zendaya said. "It's weird that I know such things."

        They all laughed form what Zendaya said and she frowned.

"That quarantine and lockdown times, I bet that all of your parents are in their own houses making babies if not you!"

"I am agreed with you." Rhys and Raiden said at the same time.

"Why are our parents always horny?" Aria asked and Asher covered her mouth and she pushed Asher's hand. "I mean, they are at the forties and yet they still have that energy that everyone is talking about."

"That's because our parents are healthy, and they exercise daily, and our mothers are picky, and they limit everything bad for health since they are getting really old," Raiden told.

        The other team isn't in the house. So, there's only Rhys, Raiden, Aria, Asher, Zendaya, Demi, Athena, Bea, Thunder, Sophia, Christian, Timothy, and Laurence. Christian and Laurence are at the kitchen with Noah.

        Noah came and he first serve drinks to Bea and Bea thanked him and she's too occupied to know him or maybe she kept herself occupied.

"Cockroach!" The twins Rhys and Raiden screamed, and they all screamed and scramble.

        The boys went to the sofa pushing the girls. Bea pushed Rhys away and took her sippers and throw it to the cockroach on the wall and the cockroach fell on the floor and she kicked it again with the slippers.

"Rhys you clean this up." She gave her slipper to Rhys and Rhys is in an active mode and he used the slipper to check if the cockroach is alive.

"I can't feel his heartbeat!" Rhys told and he checked closer for the smashed cockroach. "We need to call the police and report Bea for killing it."

        Bea rolled her eyes and took her other slipper and hit him with it.

"Tsk. Poor cockroach." Noah takes care of it with a broom and dustpan and then he threw it in the trash can.

"We should hold a funeral," Raiden said and the girls started balding them. Bea kept on laughing and Sophia is filming it.

        Bea sat on top of the sofa's backrest and she got out of balance and fall to her back, but a strong arm wrapped around her before she fell. She met Noah's eyes and Noah gently pushed back.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah," She waved at him to sign him to go away.

"Uh, do you need any drinks or food?" He asked and while they are busy on balding the twins, only Athena and Zendaya noticed how Noah looked at Bea and Bea is uncomfortable.
