Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

Chapter 185 - Mind Palace Part 1



Moira glanced at her father across the table. She still felt awkward and uncomfortable and the way he bought things for her including necklace, bags and even a car. He bought the latest mustang to her. She didn't understand why he would do such things.

For her, he doesn't need to do such things. Now, they are eating alone, and Alanis let them have their moment.

​​

"Don't you like the car?" He asked. She looked at the car outside and then looked down at her plate and back to him.

"You don't have to buy such things. I can afford it and Alanis is giving me a luxury living."

"But I want to. I never gave you anything at all. If I only knew that you were my daughter, I would spend my time for you."

"How about your daughter, Kathleen? She's your daughter, right?"

He looked away, there are doubts in his eyes.

"I should've chosen your mother. If I did, I would be happy, and you would have all of the luxury living as you want."

"I don't need luxury living." She said. "I am independent, and I enjoy working. Also, please don't make any rush about all of these. I am an adult and I can take care of myself."

"Please, just give me a chance." He said and reached her hand.

She exhaled and glanced at her phone. James knew that she's with her biological father and so he didn't interrupt although he needs help on a few things. The door opens inside the restaurant and Andel arrived in his office attire and glasses.

He put down his pouch and greet his dad and then sat down beside Moira.

"Okay, so what's with the family meeting?"

"I wanted to have a meal with my children." He told. Moira pulled out her hand and reached the knife. Edmond looked straight to Andel. "You know better than me. Tell me everything you know."

Andel started cutting the steak and then take the piece to his mouth. Moira glanced at Andel.

"Dad, I don't know anything. I am just sitting on the swivel chair and doing Secretariat job."

"Hmm." Edmond still had doubts and he glanced at Moira.

"Dad, please. Don't make me talk." Andel pouted.

There are a lot of things that Andel knew and he doesn't want to ruin another after another.

Zach's mind is occupied with his wife. His wife isn't a nagging one or someone who would give him a headache. It wasn't about his headache, it was all about his wife. He's worried about his wife. Now, she's sleeping, and he didn't want to leave her like that. He exhaled and reached her head.

He can't go to his office yet although it's already lunchtime. She's still sleeping and she's tired.

"Baby," he kissed her forehead. "You've been sleeping for twelve hours." He reached her globes and caressed it. "I am so late in my work."

She moaned and looked at him with one eye. Then she pushed his head down between her legs. He laughed and did what she wanted. After that, she's fully awake and she sat up and stretched up her arms. She smiled at him.

"You sleep well?" He asked and kissed her lips.

"I did." She glanced at the clock. "Let's just go shopping today since you are already late." She snuggled to him.

"Okay." He kissed her top head. "I love the idea. It's Christmas soon. How about we buy things we need for our Christmas night?"

"Uhh, aren't we going to eat with your family?"

"I wanted to have the Christmas night with you, only."

"Okay." She said excitedly. She jumped from the bed and ran to the bathroom. "Let's get ready. Make love to me in a shower." She shouted.

Zach smiled and looked at the bathroom lovingly.

Fin found her pouting at the doorstep. He came late since after drinking, he unwinds first and thought about things that Andromeda had foresight. It only means that she died because of him. After that, he doesn't want to get close to her. He's afraid that she might die. But he came back anyway because his heart couldn't take it whenever he imagined how lonely she was.

Now, she's sad and she stood and ran to him, wrapping herself around his waist and started crying on his chest. His eyes widen and he doesn't know what to do. But he pushed her a little so he could see her face.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Why didn't come home?! It's already afternoon!" She sniffled. "I was so worried."

He wiped away her tears and pinched her cheek. She wiped her snot and then she pouted even more.

"I'm sorry." He kissed her forehead.

"Why did you come home late?"

"I went to check on a few things."

"You didn't check any girls, right?"

"No." he smiled. "Don't be jealous of love. You are my only baby, babe, honey, darling, sweetheart… whatever you call it."

"Okay." She nodded like a child and he never saw anyone so adorable as her.

"It will be Christmas soon." She smiled at him.

"Yeah. What do you want for Christmas?" He asked.

"All I want for Christmas is you…" She muttered.

"Great!" He carried her inside and kissed her lips.

"I am still on my period." She pouted.

"We don't need to make love now."

"You serious?" She muttered.

"Yup. Let's just sleep."

"Hmm. I feel tired." She snuggled to his chest. "I want something to eat."

"Okay." He turned to the kitchen. "What do you want to eat then?"

"You." She said sexily. He laughed and put her down to stool. "What?" She pouted at him. "Don't you want me to give you a blowjob?"

"It's not like that." He patted her head. "I want to be inside you more." He winked.

Selina smiled at him and it felt like her drained heart suddenly become lively. He went to the fridge and rummaged. He stopped and thought about what to cook. He glanced at her.

"What do you want to eat?" he asked for the second time. She grinned. "What I mean is food."

"Uhm, just—whatever you make." She said.

Ellen kept glancing around and she saw him, Nicholas. He looked so old and he looked at her murderously. She shuddered and went back inside her café. Her bodyguards noticed her terrified expression, so they move close to her to protect her.

There are at least three guards close to her and another two rovings outside. She went to her office and call Andel. It rang for a while and then he answered.

"Baby?"

"Andel, he's outside. I saw him and we got contact eye to eye." She muttered panicking a little.

"Calm down, baby."

"I'm scared." She muttered.

"I know that you are scared. Just be close to your bodyguards. I will pick you up later, how about that?"

"Okay."

"Don't worry, I'll handle him." He said in a little fierce voice.

"Okay…I love you, Andel."

"I love you too, my kitten." She hung up and hugged the phone. How can she be so clingy toward him? Damn it. This love is making her feel stupid sometimes, and it always gave her electric shock. She exhaled and texted him.

My heart can't take it to be away from you. – She texted.

My kitten, you don't know how much my heart wanted to explode whenever I am close to you. – Andel texted.

She smiled and all of the worries faded.
