Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

Chapter 144 - Step-by-Step Part 1



   Aaron went to visit his wife with flowers. He made sure that the fake Fiona hadn't followed him. He also bought lots of new clothes for her yesterday so he could give it to her. He doesn't care if the fake Fiona would think that he's having an affair. She too had been unfaithful and a liar and a fake to him. So, his loyalty is to his real wife. 

   He entered the room and put the flowers on the vase. She's sitting on the bed with band-aid wrapped around his face, few parts on her neck and her arm. He smiled and put the new dresses and bags over the table. 

​​

"Hello, love." He greeted her and kissed her top head. She held his hand and squeezed it tightly. 

"How's your day?" 

"It's all good. The fake you are trying to investigate who I am seeing but I am careful."

"I will be out for a few days." She held his hand more. "And what about dad?" 

"He's fine and aware of everything, I think. Don't worry, everyone is okay, and you should focus more on your healing." 

   She exhaled and closed her book. 

"How's Andromeda?" 

"She's fine. Zach is taking care of her." 

"And James?" She asked again. 

"Love, they are fine. James is in the office and Andy is doing well." He pulled her hand back and kissed both of them. "Don't stress out, okay?" 

   Fiona nodded and move a little to give him space. He removed his shoes and sat beside her and wrapped his arms around her.

   Fox woke up in the morning to find Ellen, looking more like a housewife, taking care of Andel more than herself. She looked a little messy but she's still beautiful. He suddenly envied Andel for having such a good girlfriend. 

"Hey, you have to eat!" Ellen waved him. 

   Fox went to the table and sat down. He reached the warm water that Ellen already prepared for him and drank all of it. He sighed and lean on his seat. 

"So, when will be the wedding?" Fox asked. 

   Ellen looked at Andel and Andel glanced at Fox. 

"Soon. I must fix a few things. I want a quiet wedding." He told and reached Ellen's hand. "But first I must find the perfect engagement ring for my girl." 

   Fox didn't expect to have these romantic words from Andel. So, he took his pancakes and other protein food and left the table. 

*** 

   Andy is already fixing her things since they must leave earlier than she expected. She called Fox and Fox answered immediately and he's probably going to fix his things. But first, she should make sure that Ellen is safe. So, she called his trusted Commander to protect Ellen, escorting her everywhere she goes. 

   On the door frame, her husband is standing with his hands in his pocket. 

"Don't worry." Andy winked at him. 

   Then she suddenly stopped and saw an event flashed in her head. She exhaled and hold on the table. She clenched her hand and looked at Zach. He put down his hands and strode toward her. 

"You okay?" He scooped her face. 

"Yeah!" She hugged him. He hugged her back and tight. 

"I will miss you so much." 

"I'm sorry, Zachy, but I have to do this." 

"I know." He looked up and trying to conceal his sadness to be away from her for long. He can't bear to be away from her for like a day. 

   He doesn't care if he's late from his work. He wanted to spend little time with her. He helped her with her stuff and then he brought her to bed to make love to her. 

*** 

   Fox prepare clothes and things he needed in Madagascar and since that they are going to a jungle. Knife, stainless steel thermos bottle and a pair of spoon and fork and whatever he needed. Once that he already packed everything. He sat down and thought of the woman that has been killed after getting robbed. 

   He exhaled and rubbed his chest. It felt so painful. Is that woman the one that he's been dreaming died in a car accident after being robbed? Geez, this is so frustrating. 

   He lost her focus when his phone rang and he took it and answered it. 

"Fox," 

"Yes, boss? 

"Moira can't go with us. But the plan must go on." 

"Why?" He asked as he stood and checked the time. 

"You will know soon. Meet me at the airport in 2 hours." 

"Roger that." He hung up and tried to call Moira. She answered shortly however, she hung up. He frowned and tried to dialed her again until he can't contact her. 

***

   Moira already settled the vacation leave and James seemed to be devastated since she's holding a lot of his work. But anyway, he let her go. She went to her penthouse and start preparing clothes that she needed for her mission. 

   She opened her closet and took out the bag that she prepared for this mission. She changed her clothes and put her combat shoes on. She went to her dresser and took her ponytail as she neatly tied it. Her tablet rung in a few moments and she took it and put it on the stand. On the other line, Alanis smiled at her. 

"Hey, there beautiful." 

"Hey." She smiled and put cream on her face. 

"This won't take long. I'll be with you so soon." 

   She chuckled and looked at him. Alanis smiled wide then she showed the sports watch wrist band that has a customized key that he can only remove. The silver metal is wrapped with silicon for it to look more like a sports watch. Alanis is smart and when she put it on, she couldn't remove it anymore. 

"This is smart." 

"Of course, I wanted to see you and keep track of you. Your pulse, your location. My Queen, I am miles and miles away from you, how can I just solved problems here when I am thinking of your safety?" 

"Okay, that's a little cheesy." 

"I'll be with you soon." He winked. 

"Okay." 

"I love you." He told. She only smiled and hung up. 

   Once that Moira is done she took her bag where everything is tact. Her passport and other things. 

   She suddenly stopped and she felt someone standing right behind her. To her surprise, a woman is pointing a gun in front of her. Then few men came and surrounded her. Moira is ready to defend herself. 

   She looked at the woman straight into her eyes and then she used her eyes and glance scanning everyone around her. Two men stepped into grabbed her and she used quick self-defense chopping their neck and then punching their eggs. 

   The woman who's holding the gun couldn't fire yet that she might be fired it to the wrong person. 

   She used a hand defense, holding the man's back of the hand and ready to press her fingers to break the man's wrist and she pushed him facing the gun-woman. What she didn't expect was a needle to be fired on her neck. In just a few inches she might die from it. And then, another man injected it at her back. 

   She lost her vitals as she fell on the floor. Her eyes blurred and stared at the man coming wearing a suit.
