Chapter 745 - When Rhys Falls In Love Part 2
Raiden gave her a red velvet box. She looked at it and then opened it. She gaped at the golden coin size pendant with the emblem of dragon and phoenix. He kissed her forehead.
"You are part of the family, my beautiful wife."
Charlotte bit her lip and wrapped her arms around him. She slowly exhaled.
"I felt so happy and so welcome as a real family. I think this is the real family that I never had."
Raiden hugged her and kissed her top head. He already loved her. Even though he forgets her, his heart responded to her so much.
"I have to put it on you." He said softly. She pulled away and gave it to him. He took out the necklace and put it on her. She fixed it to the middle of her chest and smiled up at him. He reached her chin and kissed her. "It looks perfect on you."
"Thank you." She hugged him again tightly. "Once that the chemicals are out of your body, let's have unlimited sex and make babies."
Raiden isn't sure about babies. But he's sure that they never use any protection while they are on their honeymoon.
"If it makes you happy," That's the only thing that he could say.
He drove his Porsche to the Dragon Mansion. Charlotte will meet his whole family and looking around the lined-up cars and motorbikes. They aren't just a normal family at all. Raiden opened the car door for her and they went inside. Inside are girls and boys laughing and whatever stuff that they are talking about.
Then, they stopped and looked at Raiden. Charlotte smiled at them.
"Guys!"
"Raiden!"
The boys said aloud and run to him and hugged him. Then, he introduced Charlotte to everyone. Zendaya stepped forward and slapped his chest.
"How dare you get married before me!"
"Yeah, same here!" Demi raised her hand.
"Ditto!" Bea complained.
Raiden chuckled and hugged Charlotte.
"But anyway, welcome to the family, Charlotte." Bea greeted.
"Thank you."
Everyone started chattering and Raiden started joking the Noah and Christian since they haven't proposed to their girlfriend. Rhys came with a pretty girl and everyone looked at them.
Raiden approached him and hugged him. He also hugged the girl that Raiden is with.
"You must be his girlfriend," Raiden said and grinned. The girl shook her head.
"No." She said and everyone stopped. "I'm just his friend." She smacked Rhys's arm. "He said that he needed a muse to this event."
"Pfft! This is a family event and the only family is invited. Then, he invited you which means that you must important to him and treated you as a family or a wife." Raiden said with a winked.
The girl rose her brows and hit Rhys at the back.
"What are you spewing about?" Camila asked Rhys.
"Ow!" Rhys reached his back to rubbed it. "I wasn't! Raiden is just stating things."
She shrugged.
"I'm Camila." She said to Raiden.
"Welcome to the family. I heard a lot of things from you." Raiden winked. Camila flushed and glared at Rhys. Rhys shook his head and she will torture him later.
"What do you mean by 'a lot of things'? I need to know." Camila smiled at him. Raiden chuckled nervously.
"Well, he just said that you comfort him when he's broken-hearted after we got a misunderstanding. That's all."
"Oh," Camila nodded and grinned at Rhys like she's planning something evil. Rhys introduced her to everyone too and her parents saying that she's his friend. But his dad is teasing him.
Casey sipped on her juice as she observed Camila. Chelsea stood next to her.
"It's the female-friend," Chelsea said. Casey nodded. They were always discussing such things about their brothers. And they are sure that she's the girl that Rhys always talk to when they were in crisis.
"So, what do you think of her?" Casey asked.
"Well, I researched her and she's currently in a big debt because her mother wastes it so much. Rhys helped her and she's now a millionaire."
"In exchange for unlimited sex," Casey said and they clinked their glasses.
"She looked nice," Chelsea said.
"Yes, and frank," Casey said. "Well, let's hope that it's not another Bianca and other someone who would ruin our family."
"Let's just hope. Rhys seemed to be comfortable and happy around her."
Casey nodded.
In the dinner, the family welcomes Rhys's friend and Charlotte as the new family member. Then, the food is great and they talked a lot. It's just casual family talk and business talk. Raiden has to go back to Manhattan and Rhys will be in the Philippines for a few worked.
Nathaniel will also need to go back to California for her on-training as the CEO of a distilled and beverage company in California.
Then, everyone went to their places and mostly boys went to the arcade to play, while the main heirs and heiresses are off to a meeting. So, Rhys and Raiden left their girls.
"Can you tell who is you between the two?" Camila asked.
"Yeah, definitely. Rhys has smaller eyes and always have that happy face. Raiden had that too but—I just know that it wasn't Raiden." Charlotte said.
"Same here, Rhys looked stupid in me. Raiden looked sharp." Camila said. Charlotte laughed.
"Wow, you just said that Rhys is stupid."
"He's stupid sometimes. And it's a compliment for being humorous. I remember how he cried out loud while he's drunk when he told me what Raiden did. Then, he farted."
Charlotte laughed in very not ladylike.
"I know. I have to take out my cheap sprayer and spray it on his butt. I am so glad that he didn't pop at all."
Charlotte nearly rolled on the grass from laughing. Camila laughed and then, two girls came up and sat with them.
"Hi," Casey greeted Camila in a very monotonous way.
"Hi," Camila smiled in an awkward way.
"I heard that you and my brother Rhys are best friends?" Casey asked. Chelsea laughed and she waved off.
"Sorry," Chelsea said.
"What's wrong?" Camila asked.
"Well, Rhys is a comedy, and having a girl best friend is very not him," Casey said. "But I'm glad that he has a girl best friend."
"Oh," Camila creased her brows. "Be frank with me, Casey."
"You must be fucking Rhys?" Casey said frankly. Camila like frank people and Casey is one a hell of a straightforward person.
"Yeah, what about it?" Camila asked. "I mean, we just do it and still friends."
"Friends with benefits," Chelsea said.
"Yeah," Camila nodded.
"What I am trying to say is," She extend her hand. "Give me your phone."
She took out her old phone and gave it to her and opened it. Casey typed her number and Chelsea's number and their mother's number.
"If ever he impregnates you and didn't take responsibility. Just contact us. Then, our mom will give him a good beating."
"Oh, wow." Camila chuckled. "I was so nervous here," Camila said.
"He also didn't buy you a phone?" Casey lifted her old phone that has a crack on the screen.
"Oh, he did." She took it out and opened it. "Fuck!" She said when Rhys put his half-naked body as wallpaper. "I'm going to kill, Rhys."
Chelsea and Charlotte peeked at it.
"Oh, wow," Charlotte said.
"Tsk." Chelsea shook her head.
"This isn't my lock screen." She showed it to them. "And my wallpaper." There's another pose of Rhys holding an apple while he's lying on the sofa sideways. "I'm going to freaking kill him for not sending me those hot boy's pictures."
"Who do you mean?" Chelsea asked.
"The boys in the Empire café." She said. Chelsea laughed out loud. "He said that he's going to send it." Then she checked the messages and Rhys send him all of his sexy photos. "This is so disgusting!"
"That means that Rhys is jealous," Charlotte said. "He didn't want you to have another man's photo on your phone."
Casey and Chelsea nodded as an agreement. Camila shook her head. She didn't believe that Rhys would get jealous. They are just f-cking friends. Also, Rhys is a good friend.
"And if it is the truth?" Camila asked.
"Then, he might've already fallen in love with you," Casey answered.
"Oh, f-ck." She cursed.
"Why?" Charlotte asked. "Why do you sound so frantic? Don't you found him attractive or love him?"
"I love him as a friend. He's attractive and I don't deny that. But, this is too much."
"Well, maybe he's not really in love with you," Casey said just to lighten the weight from Camila's chest. Chelsea also agreed to it. "Maybe he just wants that friends with benefits relationship."
"Damn, I don't even know why I am talking with you girls about this. I mean, he's your brother!"
"Rhys and Raiden are our slaves," Chelsea said and chuckled. "I mean, women rule the house than men. So, just one mistake from those bad boys, then our mom will discipline them well." She winked at Camila.
"Oh, your mom sounds scary." Camila felt the shivers.
