Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

He was frustrated after that show in the room. Andromeda is emotionless and left quickly but her grandfather ordered his people not to let her away. It was his fault after all. He wasn't good enough for her. And now it seemed like fate was playing on them and wanted both of them to be together again.

Zachary is about to pick up his cigarette. Back then, he disliked it. He wasn't a big fan of smoking. But after that big incident that happened two years ago, he just couldn't help himself but be a rebel of his own. He brought the stick between his lips and was about to light it when her voice rings into his head.

Go ahead, grandpa. I'm tired of living.

He put down the lighter and the cigarette. He threw it on the ashtray. He turned around and was about to storm out the patio when Andrew showed up. His half-brother. Hands in his pockets and he looks cool as always. He remembered back that he's so into her.

"Since she doesn't want to marry you, perhaps I could persuade the old man to let me marry her?" he gritted his teeth. There's no way that he'll let that happen. He chuckled amused at his brother's reaction. He calmed himself down.

"I'll marry her," he spoke without any hesitation. Amusement was all over Andrew's face. He stepped closer to his brother.

"But you think she'll let that happen after what you did two years ago?" He acted so insolent and liked thinking or flashing back something in his mind just to peeve his brother. "I guess, she'll rage in anger."

He has no time to get angry with his brother. After all, there's no breaking of engagement. He was the one who made a mistake. Both of them are still immature. Both of them are still fazed by the thought of a fairy tale. But today is a reality and not a simple game.

Kathleen came with a glass of martini. She smiled at them and offered the glass to Zachary. Zachary took it and drank it all at once. He stormed out and started searching for her. And there he found her in the garden on the swing with a bottle of whiskey on her hand. He made his steps faster until he hit a bottle on the grass.

Picking it up, he looked at the expensive bottle of whiskey. She probably sneaked it out from her grandpa's. She swigged the bottle and finished it all. He finally walked in front of her, stopping the swing from swinging. She looked up at him. Full of tears and her eyes show despair. She stood up, almost outbalance but held her arm and she ran to the bushes and started vomiting. He held her and patted her back.

He picked her up and brought her to her room on the left-wing away from the people. He removed her jacket and she winced.

"Ow!" she pushed him and he frowned on the bandage around her right arm.

"What have you been doing to yourself?!" he couldn't help but scowl at a drunk woman. She didn't say a thing but fell down on the bed. She moaned and rubbed herself on the fluffy bed.

He called a butler to bring honeyed water. He removed his jacket and suddenly felt dizzy. Why does he feel dizzy and hot? He was burning inside and suddenly it didn't feel right. The butler came and he took two bottles of water with honey on them. He closed the door, flipped her slowly, and woke her.

"Drink." She did drink the glass of water and she removed her sleeveless shirt. He gulped some water seeing her like that.

Since it's her hobby of stripping whenever she's drunk, he gets used to it but somehow everything is different now. They make love whenever she's drunk or both of them. He went to her bathroom, removed his clothes, and took a cold shower. Damn, his manhood is erect. Could it be the drink that Kathleen gave to him? He doesn't remember at all but he couldn't take this shit until she went to the bathroom half asleep, took a pee, and removed her clothes.

This is not even good at all. He was totally turned on. He got out of the shower and was about to reach her. But she strode out and went back to bed. He exhales, still burning up.

"Damn you, Andromeda!" he growls and strode to her bed, kissing her lips, crushing it. She responded a bit but pushed him after. "Fuck!" he cursed aloud and get back to the bathroom and stood in front of a shower for a long time until it slowly cooled down. He has to do something about his erect so what's the use of his hand and mind?

Once that he's done spoiling himself. He put his boxers dry himself and picked a towel and washed it. Then he wiped her whole body and her midsection like he's used on doing it to her. He then picked something in her closet and put it on her. His dizziness didn't make him last long until he collapsed beside her. He heard her murmuring and sobbing slowly in her sleep. It aches his heart. Though he was getting lifeless, he reached her face and then wrapped his strong arms around her. It was his fault after all.

Kathleen has been searching for him all over the place around the mansion. She's afraid that someone had taken him and fuck him instead of her. Damn it. So much for framing him up so she could persuade her grandfather to make him marry her instead.

"Where's Zach?" she suddenly asked the butler that was passing by.

"I saw him with Lady Andy. She seemed drunk."

"What?!" She exclaimed and suddenly lowered her voice. She wanted to storm to Andromeda's room and teach a lesson on the slut. But what if Zach is there too? She will be embarrassed.

"You seemed exasperated." Andrew noticed. She rolled her eyes and stormed out. He only laughed and shook his head.

She went to her mother Paula and started complaining that Andromeda was just pretending to run off with Zach. She's desperate. She never thought that her grandfather would seriously want Andromeda to marry Zach, the love of her life. She only wanted him. Only him.

"Hush now sweetheart. I am sure that it won't take long until the engagement." She comforted her.

Everything she desired would be hers. That's her goal when she was born. She hated Andromeda, the apple of the eye of their grandfather. Though her father had shared the company and had his own business that was turned over to him by his father, it wasn't enough for her. She wanted more than that.

Ellen heard it from close by. Since she's the only daughter of Rafael Pattinson, she was a spoiled brat. But she wasn't as insatiable as Kathleen. She was just spoiled by her brothers and she loved them dearly. She knows everything about Zach, her favorite brother after all and his happiness comes first before hers. And if Kathleen was one of the barriers, then she will have to step in and teach the bitch a lesson.

Two Years Ago, Greece

She bumped into a big chest that makes her step back and hands up looking directly at the man's face.

"Hey, watch out dude!" She said it was cool. She creased her brow when he creased his brow as well as studying her face and looked at her from head to toe. "Could you please—move!" The man was familiar but she doesn't remember him.

"What the hell are you doing here, Mondragon?" She bit her lower lip. The guy was so manly, dark complex, eyes tantalizing, brow thick, lips a little thick, the face was rectangular… so charming.

"Well, I am here standing in front of you." She said sardonically. "Wait—how do you know—" she snapped her fingers when she finally realized who he is. But still, she couldn't dig in her thoughts about his name. He wrapped his arm around her neck and dragged her away from the front door. "Hey!"

"You grow up so fast." He messed her hair. In automatic movement, she had grabbed his wrist and twisted it on his back but he's fast as well and pulled her to him.

"Get off Pattinson!" she hissed at him.

"Your grandfather had been searching for you all over the world. He even asked his agents."

"Really?" she stopped from restraining from him and that she stopped herself from staggering.

"Yup."

"Are you taking me to him?"

"Not right now." She grinned and quickly restrained herself from him and she jumped on his back. He exhaled and held her thigh.

"Let's go to the nearest club."

"I am not here to babysit someone like you." But he kept her on his back. He will totally cancel his appointments. She's the long-lost childhood friend and James, her brother was closed to him. He bit his lower lip. Her chest felt so soft pressing on his back. How did this girl grow up so fast? Back then, she was running around in combat shoes that are only made for her and practicing archery then martial arts. Her grandfather shaped her up into a beautiful woman.

"What are you doing here in Greece by the way?"

"I'm here for some business…"

"Hmm… that's boring."

"Yeah?" she yawns and leaned on his shoulder.

"What are you doing? Sleeping?"

"Nah." She yawns again.

"Seriously, Andromeda."

Instead of going to the club, he turned to his hotel suite. She's already asleep and he removed her shoes and jacket. She reached some pillow with moaned and cuddled on it. Just seeing her like that makes him smile. Who would have thought that the cute girl who was doted by everyone would be a woman, attractive and very much sexy?
