Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

 Rhys arrived at his penthouse nearly stumbling with his friend Camila. He felt so dizzy, yet he managed to walk directly to his room.

"Where is your bathroom!" Camila asked almost shouting.

"Just find it somewhere near there!" He said aloud.

He started removing his shoes and throwing his clothes away. Then, he went to the bathroom washed his face, and brush his teeth. He checked the tablet and received a message from Cyra. They found Raiden. He immediately washed his mouth and put away his toothbrush.

He ran to the guest room searching for her.

"Camila! They found him!" He said aloud. Camila came out from the hall and she screamed and covered her eyes.

"Fuck you, Rhys! Why are you showing your naked body?!" She scolded and she turned back from him.

 Rhys just realized that he's naked. He laughed and covered his lower part.

"You said that I don't have a dick. Now see it!"

"Fuck you! Asshole!" She kept cursing and cursing. Rhys laughed out loud as he went back to his room. He looked down at his buddy and he shook his head. He put his PJ pants on and took a pair of PJs top and pants and went to her.

"Use the guest room!" He said. She's lying on the sofa and seemed to be asleep. He shook her and then, he carried. She opened her eyes and pushed his face. "I'm at least gentleman enough to carry you to somewhere comfortable.

 She didn't complain when the door opened and he put her on a very soft comfortable bed. He gave her his pair of PJs.

"Bathroom, there's a new brush, and good night." Rhys waved at her. She kicked her shoes off. "But wait, did you see my little man?"

"I didn't see anything." She grumbled. Rhys crossed his arms.

"Are you sure? Because my man down there isn't an average."

 She looked at him tiredly. He laughed and patted her head.

"Go to sleep." He said. "And there's water in the small fridge and other stuff. I'm off to sleep."

"Good night." She mumbled.

 Rhys dropped his body on the bed. He closed his eyes and thought of what happened. He's too excited that they found his brother but then, he showed himself naked in front of her. He laughed out loud. It's so hilarious for him.

 He had fallen asleep eventually and woke up from his ringing phone. He reached it and answered.

"Hello?"

"Rhys?"

"Mom?"

"Yes, your brother had a tumor in his head. Cyra is treating him. They'll delay the flight on the way here."

"What?" Rhys suddenly felt awake. His hangover faded. His brother had a tumor? It's unbelievable. "H-How?"

"It's because of the accident in the Maldives. But he'll be fine. I promise you. Come home today. Okay?"

"I will." Her mother hung up.

 Rhys sat up and wiped his hand to his face. He went to the bathroom, washed his face, and brush his teeth. He went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast since he's starving and his friend needs soup. He looked at Camila who came his way and slid to the barstool. She yawned as scratch her hair. She got one messy hair.

"Good sleep?"

"Yeah. I could use that room to sleep when I couldn't sleep."

"Sure, you are free to use it," Rhys said.

"No rice?" She asked as she took a piece of ham and started nibbling on it.

"I can't eat breakfast without rice." He said and set up the breakfast counter table with places and hot rice.

 She hummed and sighed at the soup.

"This is good. When did you learn to cook?"

"Each of us needs to learn how to cook. Since we were teens."

"Oh," She nodded and sipped on her coffee. She nearly spits it. "No sugar?" She asked.

"Yeah, it's pure coffee." She pushed the coffee his way.

"You drink that."

 Rhys took it and sipped on it.

"You seemed to be not okay?" Camila asked. Rhys sighed depressingly.

"My brother had a tumor."

"Oh sorry…"

"He will stay in England for the operation."

"Don't worry, he'll be fine." She rubbed his back. He nodded.

"Finish your food, I'll give you a ride back to your home."

"Nah, I'm fine." She said and continue eating.

"I'm serious." Rhys creased his brows. She only looked at him and continue eating.

 In the end, he drove his motorbike with her as his passenger at the back to the shabby home that she said. It was indeed dangerous in the area and she said that it's the only thing she could afford. So, he parked his motorbike and walked her home. She insisted that he shouldn't but he's being a gentleman.

 When she reached home, her mother is packing the new television that she bought.

"Mom!" She shouted. "What are you doing?"

 Her mother stopped and she glared at the man with her mother.

"Well, you didn't give me money, so I have to at least sell something from here."

 Rhys watched as Camila nearly broke down to tears.

"Leave," Camila said and her mother stopped. "I said leave my fucking house!"

 Her mother crossed her arms and then looked at Rhys. Rhys is wearing casual clothes.

"And who is this? Your boyfriend?"

"You shouldn't fucking care about who he is! I want you to leave." Camila in the rage of her anger took a few of her things and throw it in the direction of her bedroom. Then, she took her television. Her mother pushed and slapped her.

 Camila stopped and looked at her mother.

"You don't have the right to yell at me. You are just my daughter and I carried you in my belly for nine months and suffer because of you!"

 Her mother threw the small flat television on the corner and grabbed her boyfriend as they left. Rhys exhaled and approached Camila. She turned back from him but Rhys pulled her and hugged her. She started sobbing and crying in Rhys's chest.

 Rhys stayed until she calmed down and she started cleaning her apartment and checked if her money was stolen from her room or something.

"You should move out."

"I don't have money to move out, Rhys."

"And your mother? Where does she live?"

"In our old house…" She mumbled.

 Rhys exhaled.

"Let's meet later."

 She creased her brows.

"You know that I can lend you—"

"No." She shook her head. "I know that you are rich but, no Rhys. You are the only friend that I have."

"What are friends are for?" Rhys shrugged. His phone started ringing. His mother. "Okay, I'm going to leave you. I need to be at home." He approached her and kissed her head. "I'll call you later."

 He left her shabby apartment and drove his motorbike away.

<><><><><>

 Camila is finally left alone. Her landlady came and told her that she needs to pay or she needs to leave. So, she pays for the money that she saved. She only eats one meal a day to save money so she could pay off her debts.

 She sniffled and wiped her snots. She started packing. She needed to find a cheaper place. Then, she looked at the television that seemed to be broken. She could still sell it. She looked around for anything she could sell. But there's nothing at all.

 She only has a few clothes and then, one sneaker shoes and office shoes. She's broke. She didn't even have food to eat. It's a good thing that Rhys cooked for her. It's the first breakfast she ever had for a very long time.

 She sighed and stared at the notebook. She scratched her head and then, she finally takes it. She started writing a contract. She didn't have a choice but to sell her virginity to him. He's her only hope. She wanted to leave this shabby apartment and never show up to her mother. She didn't want to go through the suffering of not eating for a day.

 She continued packing and texted Rhys.

Camila: Let's meet in the bar.

 She didn't wait for his reply. After she's done with it. She paid off her debt from the landlord. She takes a bath, washes her clothes. Then, she attends her online job and started working for it. After her work, she checked her phone, and Rhys send her a thumbs-up emoji.

 She needs to shave. She groomed herself and then put on the only pair of sexy underwear that she had. She exhaled. She will need to put on a little makeup and a little cologne.

 Her phone started ringing, and she answered it.

"Rhys?"

"Hey, do you want me to pick you up?"

"No. I'll be there."

"Are you sure? I sent one of my drivers to pick you up."

"What?" she creased her brows.

"I think he's already in the entrance."

"Okay…. I'll be there." She hung up and quickly grabbed her bag.

 She locked the house and walked to the entrance of the ally. She looked around for the car parked there. The driver came out and opened the backdoor for her.
