Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

 Natalia finally got to the beach. They have their umbrella on the spot away from many people. She is also wearing the bikini that he bought for her. She looked around and few foreigners were also enjoying the beach. She went to the water while he's filming her secretly. She goes deeper and swims around.

"It's good in here." She shouted. "Babe, come on!"

 He stood and took the towel. He waved at her. She stopped and looked around and she covered her chest.

"Ash!" She shouted. Ashton started laughing and she moved away from the crowd. "Babe!" She pouted at him. "I'm going to kill you!" She hissed. Ashton took the towel as he laughed and approached her. He gave the towel to her and she soaked it in the water and wrapped it around her.

 She came out of the water and smacked his butt. Ashton only laughed as he wrapped his arms around her.

"That's a dissolving bikini! It's cute though and it's gone because of you!"

"I told you. I prefer you naked." He kissed her top head.

"Let's go. Let's pick up food on our way. Aria said that there will be a typhoon and we'll be stuck in here."

"At least you'll be stuck with me."

 Natalia's smile grew wider.

"Let's go home."

 He took the jacket and put it on her. Then, they went back to the car and she put her dress on inside and he took the wet towel. He squeezed it as the water trapped in the fibers rained down to his feet.

"Babe, I'm hungry," Natalia said as she clicked to roll the windshield down.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Something you want to eat." She said.

"I want to eat you." He mouthed at her. She giggled.

"Get your ass in here."

 Ashton put the wet towel in the backseat and he walked around to the driver's seat. He drove off from the resort and took her to the wet market. They choose fresh fish and other seafood. They bought vegetables.

"Ash,"

"Hmm?"

"I haven't told Nate that we are together."

"Go tell him." He patted her head.

"He'll freak out."

"Why would he freak out? Is it because you are in love with someone as hot as me?"

"Yeah." She giggled.

 He took the basket and put it in the trunk of the car. They left the wet market after they were done buying things that they needed. Natalia enjoyed the harmonious green trees and fresh air is what she wanted now. She opened the window shield and inhaled the wood and leaves the scent of the air as they passed on the road that is full of woods.

"Let's have our honeymoon somewhere like this," Natalia said. Then, she stopped. Shit, she shouldn't think of marriage at the moment. She turned to him and he's smiling.

"How many babies?"

"How many do you want?" She asked back. He laughed and patted her head.

"At least three to five." He answered.

"Oh, wow. That's too many."

 Soon, they reached the house and she helped in organizing the things that they bought. She never touches fresh fish or cleans them in her entire life so she let him do it. He put it on the drainer and she watched as he put it on the plastic container.

"I'm going to hire butlers and maids to do such things for you." He said. "So, when I'm on a mission, you don't have to cook all by yourself or clean fishes or meats."

"That means?"

"You never probably touched this, right?"

"Nope." She shook her head.

"Demi is good at cleaning it. Her father taught her how to do so. But since I love you so much, you don't have to do such a thing."

 She pouted.

"I'm a doctor and I can remove a fish's organs. I only need a scalpel."

 He laughed.

"Love, we have a knife here."

"We need that too."

"It's a major operation."

 She hugged him from behind and kissed his back.

"I love you."

"I love you too, baby."

 At first, Christina thought that it's a photograph. It looked so real. She also thought that they were inside the wall. But as she moves closer, it's a photograph but with initials at the lower part. She creased her brows and frowned at it, focusing on it more.

"That's a painting," Kale said.

 It's her first time to be in Stanley's brother's house. Aunt Freya is a very warm accompaniment. There's Chelsea, Camila, Casey, Allison, and Alden in the house. They'll have their lunch with the relatives.

"This is so real." She said. "I almost think that it's 3D or something."

"It's called Hyper-Realistic Painting," Kale said.

"I saw people doing their realistic paintings however, I never met one or so."

"Casey painted that," Kale said. Christina's eyes widened and she looked at Casey who entered the main door with a canvas.

"Casey," Christian called. "I just saw your painting."

"Hmm, do you like it?" She asked as she settled the canvas on the stand near the sofa.

"Yes," Christina approached the canvas and she moved her face closer to the canvas.

"That's you and Kale. He asked me to paint it for you."

"Wow,"

"It's supposed to be my engagement gift for the two of you. I already have one for Camila and Rhys."

"You are a genius!" Christina said as she stared at the beautiful painting that seemed to be in life. It's like cinematic on the way she smiles and Kale smiles and looks down at her. "It's full of love." She said softly.

"Indeed. That's what I saw from you and Kale." Casey said. "I'll have it packed in a beautiful frame."

 Casey left. Kale wrapped his arms around Tina and kissed her.

"I love you," Kale whispered. Tina pressed her lips and turned to him and hugged him.

"I love you." She wrapped her arms around his waist. "Even though I'm fat?"

"Yeah." He nodded.

"How about if I'm ugly?"

"How can you possibly become ugly when you are beautiful from the start?"

"Well, if I get occupied with taking care of kids, taking care of you, taking care of the house, I might not look at myself anymore. To get pretty and all."

 Kale chuckled and kissed her forehead.

"I'll make you pretty and all."

"It's hard to be a mom…"

"We have lots of butlers and maids to help you up. You don't worry, my love."

"Heya!" A man in black shades entered the room, wearing a leather coat and jeans. "Hey, lovers!"

"Hey, Mason!" Kale waved at him.

 Mason approached him. Kale gently pushed Tina to turn to Mason.

"This is Mason. Mason, this is Christina, my fiancée."

 Christina extended her hand toward him. Mason shook her hand.

"Nice to meet you, Mason."

"Please meet you, Lady Christina." He said. "So, I'll be here to assist in cooking." He winked.

"He's part of the Empire Café and he's a great agent."

 She nodded. Mason greeted the girls and he went directly to the kitchen.

"Uhm, when are we going to get married?" She asked.

"When do you want it?"

"I just want a simple one. And maybe this coming January?"

"Sure. We'll settle that one." Kale patted her head.

"I don't know if Dad could make it."

"I'll settle it for you."

"Guys, join us in the pool!" Chelsea called out.

 Kale takes her to the pool. Rhys is having fun with Camila. She's wearing a bikini and a see-through dress that could see her baby bump.

"Baby, that's not a baby bump," Rhys said. "That's a food bump. You haven't worked out for days."

"Oh, shut up! That's our baby getting fat!"

 Christina snickered seeing the lovers fight over something.

"Our baby won't get fat unless it comes out."

"Don't you tell me that I'm fat or you know what will happen!" Camila threatened. Rhys looked at Kale and mouthed that Camila is fat. Camila slapped the back of his head. "Ow! Baby, I didn't say anything."

"You just said it to Kale!"

"I didn't." Rhys looked away and Camila slapped his back. "Ow!"

"Say that I'm fat again~~"

"You are fat," Rhys said. Camila smacked him again. "Baby, I'm already a battered wife here!"

 He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheeks.

"I love you."

 Camila stopped and didn't hurt him anymore.

"You'll be a battered husband if you continue teasing me."

"I'm sorry baby. I love you."

"Oh, please cut it out!" Chelsea scolded.

"Get yourself a boyfriend." Kale and Rhys teased him.

"Chels, you can rent me for 100$ per hour," Mason suggested. Chelsea laughed.

"Right! I can do that. I'll also feed you, don't worry!" The two laughed and high five.

"I'll rent you first, Mason." Casey raised her hand. "Someone is bothering me in school. I want you to shoo him away."

"That will be 120$ per hour."

"119$." Casey bargained.

"Okay," Mason shrugged. "Who is the guy?"

"That suitor is a loyal dog. He's been courting her for three years now." Allison said.

"Oh, wow. It's hard to find someone like that at this moment." Chelsea said. "What's his name?" Chelsea grinned.

"I don't remember," Casey said as she continued sketching.
