Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

Angela was flipping through the magazines of the bridesmaid's gown. Regarding the gowns of the bridesmaids—they haven't chosen it yet, but the drafts are ready. Kathleen sat down beside her and smiled.

"I think baby blue would be great with the lilac flowers." ​​

"Hmm." Angela nodded. "You got a great taste, but I think we should consult the bride." She open her purse and reach her phone. Kathleen watch Angela's every movement and dialed someone. It rings two times and the call was answered. "I am ready to leave. Okay, thank you."

Kathleen smile when Angela faced her.

"I will be going now." She stood and took her scarf. Angel Pattinson was a beautiful graceful woman. She always wanted to be closed to her, so Angel would want her as daughter in law. But it seemed that neither of them can control this arrangement.

Angela arrived at his son's house and her father in law is walking in the treadmill with his therapist. She greet her father in law. She told the maid to call his son as she sat down and pick one of the wedding invitation templates.

"Mother." Zachary jog downstairs and kissed his mother's cheeks.

"I thought that today is the pictorial for the release of the invitation?" Angela asked. Zach sat down on the Hollister couch in front of her. The maid served her refreshments.

"She's not feeling well." He said. "The concussion from the accident was a big trauma to her."

"Andromeda has many traumas." Elder Manuel Pattinson said. "From her childhood until now. Alexander shaped her up to be the heiress he wanted. So, accidents is just a little trauma to her."

Zach thought about traumas. What was her biggest trauma? Was it when she got embarrassed by her own family or—was it when they lost it? He rubbed more salt on her wounds. It was her biggest trauma.

"Can I see, Andy? Did you already feed her?" Angela asked.

"She's sleeping." He told.

"Make sure that she eat a lot of nutritious food. Don't stress her out before the wedding."

Angela sipped on the iced tea and gave him the adorable template of wedding invitation.

"I like this." It was a cream color with black and red spirals and red printed petals around it. Zachary took it and his heart aches.

"Zachy!" Andromeda jumped on the bed that wakes him up. He open his eyes and smiled at his excited fiancée but closes his eyes again. "Zachy…" she pouted and hugged him. "Wake up." He open his left eye to peek on her and that adorable look that she's making.

Zach wrapped his arms around her and start kissing her face.

"You are so adorable."

"I know. By the way, I found a very perfect template for our wedding invitation."

"Hmm. Who are you going to invite?"

"I—" She thought for a while. "I don't know. You give it away. I don't want my parents to be there or any of my relative. Marrying you is enough for me. Even without the invitation." She smile and show him the sample. He smile and nodded.

"Anything you like, baby. Why don't you want to invite your parents?"

"I just want the wedding simple. No people just you and me. But you can invite your gorgeous tycoon friends? I mean they are good friends…"

Zachary reach her face and kiss her nose.

"Okay, Andy. Anything you want. Just a simple wedding with my men and I will call my sister so you can have a maid of honor." Andromeda nodded.

"Okay. I'll just tell them to make few of it!" She excitedly kiss his lips and jumped off from bed.

Zachary roll to her direction and watch her make phone calls and emails. She look so beautiful and young with that big shirt that she's wearing. She just look good in everything she wear.

Once that she's done with making set ups for their upcoming wedding, she run toward the bed and throw herself to him. She giggle when he tick her on her sides and she started kissing every inch of his face.

"I'm excited to be with you forever and always." She said softly, her eyes twinkles looking into his. Zach was the same as he reach her face and he smile so ever charmingly.

"My heart is pounding right now. I can't wait to be with you forever and always." He reach her hand and place it on his chest. Andromeda pressed her lips to avoid crying in happiness. She never been so emotional in her whole life. She was so emotional around him and she likes it. She likes showing all her emotions to him, because he understand her.

"We will set up a party before our wedding and I already invited few of my friends." Zach told. But she care no less on whoever she invite. She pressed her ear down to his chest where his heart is located. She smile as she listen to his heart beat. Zach was in euphoria on whatever she's doing. He hold her head with his left hand and his other arm wrapped around her.

Zach was never been happy in his lie. Every time she's with him and she's doing this kind of gesture makes crazy. She was the best drug in his life. His euphoria, his air and his life.

But what happened to them? They are the best couple in the whole world though they aren't perfect. But he love her dearly. He tried so hard to let her go but every time that he try—he just can't let her go. After that incident, leaving her, he can't sleep, he can't eat, he can't focus. He tried to sleep with other woman, but it never worked out because every time that he kiss someone—he thought of her.

Smelling another women's perfume gives him headache. He was longing for her. Her smell, her touch, her kiss, her voice… now that she's here with him—he don't want to let her go. Being away from her was like a body without a soul.

"Excuse me." He said.

He went upstairs and reach the door knob but stop when he heard her sobbing. His heart was breaking hearing it. He pressed his ear to the door and listen to her mourning.

"I'm sorry—I am so stupid! Stupid!" The cry and the pain that he's hearing, slowly breaking his soul. "I should've never trusted anyone… anyone…" She sobbed.

Zachary hold his chest. He felt like he's been stabbed physically.
