Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

        Cyra already found Raiden in the luxury royal-like party. She was greeted by few people since she's wearing that Dragon Amulet. She had her invitation as the representative of the Dragon Empire. Her Aunt Moira used to be the representative even though she's married. But now, is different. Her Aunt wants to be just the first lady for her husband. Although, she still used her name as Mondragon.

        Before she even approached him, Uncle Alanis found Raiden and threatening him. However, Cyra noticed something. Raiden couldn't recognize Alanis.

        She excused herself from a few gentlemen and approached them.

"Uh, do I know you?" Raiden asked.

        Alanis exhaled and rolled his eyes.

"Raid, I don't have time for your pranks. Your brother has been searching all over the world for you. Also, your mum. But she's going to deal with you later on. And I have to call her." Alanis said. Raiden is so confused at the moment.

        Something is wrong.

"Two guards will stay with Raiden to make sure that he won't run off," Alanis said in his British accent.

        After Alanis left, she approached Raiden and scooped his face pulling her down since he's too tall for him.

"Wait, miss…" Raiden pushed her. She scoffed ignoring people.

"Raiden, you are so dead. Just like Uncle said." Cyra smiled tightly.

"I'm sorry,"

"It seems like you bump your head, somewhere." Cyra looked at the beautiful girl. "And you must be his wife?" Cyra extends her hand to her with her left hand.

        Charlotte extended her right and change it to her left hand. Cyra squeezed her hand and turned it to checked the engagement ring and the wedding ring. Without releasing her hand, she looked at Raiden.

"I'm Cyra Mondragon Pattinson." She said to Charlotte.

"I'm Charlotte."

        Cyra smiled at her family.

"I'm sorry, for not greeting you," Cyra said. "But my cousin has been missing for more than a month. He forgets to contact his mother and make his brother anxious."

"This man is your cousin?" The Grandmother asked.

"Yes, can't you tell?" She smiled. "Anyway, I have to speak to my cousin." Cyra pulled Raiden. Raiden pulled his hand away from her. Cyra exhaled. "I'm a doctor and I'm going to diagnose you. You are also coming back with us to the manor." Cyra said strictly.

        Suddenly, it sent Raiden shivers and Charlotte approached them.

"Alright, we'll be coming with you tonight. After the party?" Charlotte asked.

        Cyra smiled.

"My butler will help you to pack up things."

        Butler Samson bowed at them. Raiden didn't have a choice as he followed Cyra to the sofa. Then, a teenage girl came and hugged.

"Raiden!" She's beautiful and wearing that tailored dress.

        Raiden's head is spinning. He held his head that felt so heavy.

"Raid," Charlotte reached his head and kissed it. "I'm going to ask for water so, you could take your medicine."

        Cyra shook her head and told her to sit beside Raiden.

"He drank alcohol, right?" Cyra asked.

"It's just a little," Charlotte said. Cyra exhaled and massaged her forehead.

"I need details about the accident."

        Charlotte looked around and a few of them eyed them. Then, there's her sister who looked pissed knowing that Raiden is part of the Wilson family or Mondragon-Pattinson family and they just insulted one.

"I—I'm confused…" Charlotte said.

"Uh, let's just ditch the party," Cyra suggested.

"But Cy, there are lots of people who would want to meet you," Moira said.

"Auntie, I don't like formal parties like this. I prefer parties that Rhys and Raiden with others would do. Like stripping." Cyra said and Zavannah giggled.

        Zavannah looked at Charlotte.

"You should be at our party! It's very fantastic." Zavannah told Charlotte.

"Thank you." Charlotte smiled.

        Cyra exhaled.

"Lady Cyra," Butler Samson approached them. "Some people wanted to speak with you. I think it's another group of people who want you to marry their family."

        Cyra exhaled and waved him off.

"I will choose family over those tycoons…" Cyra told him.

"Then, I will turn them down nicely." He said. Cyra nodded.

        Alanis came up and looked at Raiden from head to toe.

"Oh, you are wearing a cheaper suit at a party like this. I didn't recognize it until now. You should be their model to increase marketing. It's good quality too." Alanis said.

        Raiden held his head with so many familiar people and memories are messing up in his head.

"Uncle, we need to retreat this party right now," Cyra said. "He's not fine at all."

        Alanis nodded and he told the guards to ready the guards to escort them. Butler Samson came up and help Raiden. Charlotte just followed them and they use the exit where no one would notice that they are leaving.

        They went directly to the manor and Raiden's head felt so heavy at the moment. It's felt like going to explode. When they reached the Manor, the butlers escorted them to Raiden's room with his wife.

        Then, Cyra checked upon him. Raiden stared up at Cyra thinking that she's very familiar.

"Cy," he mumbled.

"Yes? Do you remember me? I used to bully you and Rhys." Cyra turned his head slowly to checked the stitch at the back of his head. "It's a good thing that your head didn't get smashed or something. Are you still up for crazy stuff like you always did?"

"Crazy stuff," Raiden mumbled.

        Cyra stand up straight and looked at Charlotte.

"The Maids and Butler will deliver your sleeping clothes, then tomorrow, Butler Samson can escort you to your house to take your luggage. Is that alright?" She asked Charlotte.

"Yes," Charlotte responded.

"Then, I think we are going to the Philippines together." Cyra glanced at Butler Samson. "You can go with Charlotte to get the things. Raiden needs to stay here."

        Raiden seemed to respond to it.

"No. I'm going with her," Raiden said.

        Cyra exhaled.

"I'm a doctor and I need to run tests on you. Besides…"

"I don't trust anyone," Raiden told. If he's rich then maybe his family or one of his family is trying to kill him. He didn't know. He just becomes frantic and paranoid from what happened that he didn't even remember.

        Charlotte nodded and explained to Cyra what happened to the Maldives. Cyra frowned and she turned to Moira.

"Auntie, I think you need to tell Aunt Freya about it. Charlotte, can you please tell all of the details to Aunt Moira. We can't let it slide."

        Charlotte looked at Raiden and she smiled at him.

<><><><>

        Raiden is finally alone with Cyra. Cyra sat beside him and patted his head.

"You make everyone worry, Raiden. After your fight with Rhys, you just shut everyone and eloped with someone. You think that would solve everything?"

"You are scaring me," Raiden mumbled. Cyra smirked. 

"I always scare everyone, Raiden. Do you know what you did wrong? You let those people bully you. And if your mother finds out about it, I don't know what will happen. Also, the fact that the people that bully you in that party are Charlotte's family."

"Charlotte protects me and she stood up for me."

"Good to know. Because Mondragon and Phoenix shall never get bullied. I'll run tests to you tomorrow." She packed her items and stopped. "Where's your amulet?"

"What?" Raiden asked.

"The amulet. You are supposed to always wear it."

        Raiden looked at Charlotte who entered the room. Cyra turned to her.

"You tell them everything?" Cyra asked.

"Yes," Charlotte answered. Cyra nodded and left their room.

        Charlotte sat beside Raiden and hugged him.

"Charlotte," Raiden helped her with removing pins on her hair. "Did you find an amulet? With a Dragon and Phoenix Emblem on it perhaps?"

"Yes, it's in my bag. I forgot to give it to you. We'll take it tomorrow."

"You think that they are my real family?" Raiden asked again.

"Yes. They have photos and films. Zavannah always said that you and Rhys are her favorite cousin twins. I will show it to you tomorrow but we need to take a shower and removed this suit."

"Hmm."

        They went to the bathroom. It's luxury and it seemed like Raiden get used to it. So, maybe they are his family. They take a bath. She put the sleeping dress on and she complimented that it's the best one she ever had. It's so soft and he touched the silk dress and inside of it felt like cotton and so smooth.

"I'll buy hundreds of it."

"Pft! Don't even dare. Three pairs will do."

"I will rip it every time we make love." He said. She flushed and giggled.

"Don't buy an expensive sleeping dress if you'll just rip it."

        She tucked him beside her and cuddled with him.

"Sorry that they bully you. But you are cool back there." Charlotte told. Charlotte raised the emerald. "And this is the most beautiful jewelry that I ever had."

"I think it costs half billion," Raiden said.

        She frowned at him.

"Damn! I should take it off! I don't want my hand to get cut because of this."

"No one knows until it was an auction," Raiden told. "Don't worry. If I was this rich, then I could give you bodyguards."
