Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

    Timothy woke up and stretched his arms. He put his PJs on and went outside and meet the beautiful sunlight. He looked at Wynter who is feeding the dogs and playing with them.

"Good morning, Wynter." He greeted her. Wynter looked at him and she turned back from him and left. "Well, bad morning?" He mumbled. Wynter is an adorable kid but somehow, she doesn't like him always around Zendaya because she forgot to spend time with her.

    He went back inside, wash his face, and brush his teeth. He put is work out shorts and tank and then his rubber shoes. He went to where the family is having their daily tai-chi exercise. They are only about to start, and he smiled and greet them all. He kissed Zendaya on her forehead.

"You got a good sleep?" She asked and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"I did."

    Zachary frowned and pushed their foreheads to separate them.

"No. Distance." He said and stood beside them. Timothy chuckled. "Zendaya, stop harassing, Timothy. Okay?" He told her. Zendaya pouted and for Timothy, it's the cutest pout he ever saw. He only laughed.

"Unbelievable." Zendaya shook her head.

    Their tai-chi started, and Zachary taught Timothy on how to do it until they sweat. They started running and passed by on the training field with a little technology on it.

"This is the ninja field," Zach told him.

"Wow."

"It's full of cardio and strength and most important is speed," Zachary explained. "Zendaya could go to the finish line which is 100 meters from here in just seconds. But she had to get all of the flags."

"A hundred meters?" Timothy asked again.

"Yes," Zachary said. "Zen, you ready?" He asked. Zendaya nodded.

    Zendaya swiftly kissed Tim on lips and she ran through those things as she climbed on the wall fast to reach the flag from small stones and she even did some acrobatic—or stunts that he never thought that she could do. She's a very dangerous woman.

"Wow, you break the record again," Zach told, grinning.

    Andromeda nodded in approval.

"There are 100 flags on each meter and she collected it in 1 minute," Zach told Tim showing him the time.

"She's so fast that I didn't even realize that it's been 100 meters," Timothy mumbled.

"The ninjas that are going to attack us has been trained may be at the age younger than four years old. They always received lashes from what I know." He told Tim. "It's the way to make them a great warrior or for short a great killing machine."

    Timothy is silent for a while. He didn't know their capacity but researching about them is very dangerous.

"The heiress should have the same capacity. To protect herself with or without her army."

"And the triplets?"

"Luke and Logan are also practicing. Cyra specialized in technology."

    Demi woke up at seven, wash her face, brush her mouth, and drink two glasses of warm water and start her work-out. Christian is still sleeping. Drunk from all of the whiskey that he drank with her father.

    She started from stretching to running to her army training field. There are bars and other stuff that they use whenever they had training. She needed to practice more and maybe do greater than Athena and Zendaya. She's not good at archery and she still needed to do greater and faster.

"Dem, that's enough. It's already breakfast time." Agatha called out.

    Demi catch her breath and nodded to her mother.

"Is Christian awake?"

"Yes, he's waiting for you."

"You go ahead. I need to cool down for an hour." She told.

"Okay. I also prepare your favorite." Agatha approached her and kissed her forehead.

"Thanks, mommy."

    Rhys and Raiden had been torturing by their mother. She waked them up at five to do their usual training. Now, they are doing 300 push-ups after that heavy-duty training. They take a break for an hour and then, they eat a bulky breakfast and rest so they could start again this afternoon.

    But after breakfast, they thought that they could relax and play video games but their sister Casey asked them to sit and pose for her so she could paint them.

"Why won't you take a photo of us and paint?" Rhys asked.

"I couldn't have the details." She said.

"What are you going to do with that?" He asked again.

"I'm going to sell it," Casey mumbled as she started painting.

"What?" The twins exclaimed.

"You are selling us?"

"I will correct you. I am selling your bodies. I will just put shadows on your faces so, you wouldn't get recognized."

"What do you mean shadows?" Raiden asked.

"Scarf. Sideways." Casey mumbled.

    She put down her paintbrush and approached them as she told them to hold the black scarf to only show their eyes and eyebrows.

"Perfect."

    The twins sighed and don't have a choice but not to move as Casey started to paint starting from their hair down.

    The twins are staying there for two hours after Casey had put details on their bodies. Chelsea entered and their big brothers are stretching from sitting and no moving. Chelsea nodded with a wow as Casey had taken even the small details on their abdominal, skin, pores, and showing veins.

"This is good," Chelsea said.

"I will start bidding this," Casey said.

"Start from what?"

"500 thousand. Our artist's images are expensive."

    Chelsea laughed and agreed to it.

    Laurence is doing some sit-ups, burpees, and pushups when his mother interrupted.

"Can I speak to you for a moment?" Ash asked.

"Yeah, sure."

    Laurence is the only child of his parents, Percy and Ash Pattinson and although he doesn't have a sibling because his parents can't conceive anymore, he's fine with it. But being the only child is lonely. However, he has lots of cousins and family friends. He's not always alone.

    He went to the family room where his father is chilling with his feet over the arm of the sofa.

"What's up?" Laurence asked.

"So, we thought that we should adopt."

    Laurence creased his brows.

"So, all these years, you just thought about adopting?" He asked again.

"Yup. Remember my friend from work and she had cancer. Her daughter is 12 years old and, she died recently. She's a single mother and there's no other relative so, I will adopt her only daughter. We will also adopt a little boy from the orphanage and he's two years old."

"I—I have no problem with that. It's good that you won't get bored." Laurence smiled.

"I am so excited. I always wish to have a baby girl, and could you help me preparing her room? We should go shopping."

"Okay." Laurence nodded and looked at his father.

"She'll be here at any minute," Percy said.

"And what about the baby boy?" Laurence asked.

"We will pick him up tomorrow," Ash said so excitedly. "I think I couldn't sleep tonight." She exhaled.

    Percy sat up and reached his mother's hand and kissed it.

"As long as it makes you happy," Percy told.

"So, you guys didn't try honeymoon?" Laurence asked again.

"We tried honeymoon many times and do it almost every night, nothing happened. I think you are just an accident." Percy told.

    Some would think that his father might be sterile but, he's perfectly healthy and he was a Pattinson. His mom had gone into a few surgeries because of a tumor on her ovary that needed to remove. She still has one ovary and they tried many things to conceive but it didn't work. He had seen her mother break down and it was painful for him and his dad.

    The doorbell rung and Ash nearly squealed.

"It's her!"

    Percy stood and they wait, until the maid and butler took baggage of a girl. Laurence waited until a girl with big glasses and tight ponytail wearing a baggy shirt and pants followed the maids. A shy little girl.

"Esme," Ash greeted cheerily. Esme smiled tightly and approached them closer. Ash took her hands. "So, your dad, Percy, and your big brother Laurence here." She said. Esme looked at Laurence and she immediately looked away and stare down at the floor. "Don't be shy. This is also your house."

"Yup. Don't be shy, Esme. We are your family now. I know that it's a rush but, you don't need to be shy and cautious around us." Percy said. "Laurence, your big brother will protect you so, you don't need to worry."

    Laurence nodded his head.

"Let's go to your room!" Ash said excitedly. Esme nodded.

    The maids and butler took a big luggage bag, seemed to be old, and then she's also had a big backpack that might contain personal things.

"I'll help you with that." Laurence reached her bag and she seemed to be had no choice.

"It's—heavy." She mumbled.

"It's not that heavy." Laurence smiled at her and patted her head. "Don't be shy around, little sister. Just feel at home. This is already your home."

"Your brother is right," Ash said. They climbed upstairs to the room just next to Laurence's. "You'll get used to it."
