Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

   Ellen kissed his shoulders and scratched his back lightly. Andel groaned and thrust deeper to his beloved. Andel inhaled her scent and traces a few kisses to her shoulder and her neck. It's good enough to be part of him again. They are together again, and Ellen doesn't want to be apart from him anymore. 

"Andel…" She muttered and started sucking his sensitive skin. 

"Let's get married after I am done with my missions." He muttered and caught his breath quickly. 

   Ellen arch her back and thrust back to him. After she had her release, he spread his seeds inside her. He shoved his face to her neck and hugged her tightly. 

"You are back. It felt like years…" Ellen caressed his hair and then reached his cheek. He also needed to shave and he also lost weight. Damn it! She needs to feed him more and she's going to prepare the foods that she works with. 

"Are you hungry?" She asked him. "I prepared something a while ago while you are sleeping like a baby." 

"I am starving." He murmured. 

"I'll just heat it and prepare it." 

"I love your chicken buffalo." He told. She smiled at him and patted his head. 

"I know that you love my recipe, so I prepared a lot of it." She sat up and kissed his lips and then slipped off from bed. She put her robe on and then her slippers. "Come on, get up my big bear. Let's eat." 

   Ellen hummed her favorite song that he sang for her while she's preparing food and then cold beer. He sat down and smiled at her and then to the foods. 

"Wash your hands first." She told him as she paced closer to the sink and washed her hand thoroughly. 

"Yes, Ma'am." He stood and went to the sink and washed his hand thoroughly after her. She reached the towel tissue and then gave it to him. He dried his hands and then pulled a chair for her. Then he sat across her. 

   She served him well and fed him well. 

"Eat slowly, you'll get sick." She said strictly and he nodded and did as she said. He also took care of her and fed her.

   Zachary stayed to do the work since there's been an individual in the Global City that has been positive in COVID-19. He's very strict in cleanliness so before it even became viral in Wuhan City, he made sure that every building that he owns is sterilized well. From hotels, restaurants, offices. Every week they used strong chemicals that can kill any bacteria. 

   The virus is very critical and it could ruin their business. However, his tactic wasn't always focusing on money. To have a last long profit and income, he donated millions just to help in fighting the virus. But the virus can easily spread with the low actions of the government and the individual. 

   The virus was released last year yet the government still let few planes come in and out of the country. But anyway, he can't do much about it since it's already inside the country. What he can do is to protect his family and maybe it's time to take Ellen out of the Global City. 

   Percy and Andrew are on their own vacation houses, isolated and away from the crowds and his parents can take care of themselves. The virus has a big effect on people who have a low immune system, to infants and old. 

   This will be over soon, and the population will decrease. But how long are they going to hold on? Maybe until everyone is dead? 

   He sighed and before the main city locked down, he told his butler to contact his counterparts in every residence of his family so they could store goods. 

   He glanced at the beautiful painting of his wife. 

"I hope that you are in good condition, my love." He muttered and settled down to his swivel chair and turned it to the window. He got a call from the hospital that he owned and he answered it immediately. 

"Sir, we got a few stocks of masks and surgical gloves and others." 

"I want you to increase the stocks of masks. I'll call the production team for masks. They should be distributed soon." 

   He hung up and contacted his friend that produces equipment for hospitals. 

"I think you need to produce more of it. We need to distribute it as soon as possible. Our stocks aren't enough." 

"Okay, what can I get after this?" 

"You can have the COVID." He said and the man from the other line laughed. 

"I was just kidding. Of course, I will do that. I am paying their overtime with a 2 percent increase. This is also for the economy." 

"Yes. Please provide." 

"Sure, sure. I will deliver 10 thousand boxes to each of your hospitals." 

"Thank you." He hung up and then took his beeper and sent a message to his wife using the Morse Code. He waited for her reply for an hour while he drafted a few inventions on his mind. He needed to make something useful for his wife. That's the only way he can support her and protect her from any danger of her mission. 

   After what seemed like forever, his beeper beeps and he listened to her message. He smiled and messaged her quickly with his three romantic words.

   Andromeda glared at the shadow staring back at her. What does he or she want? Why did he or she keep showing up to her? Now, she's alone in the river and looked away. She can still feel the presence of the shadow. 

"What do you want?" She asked in a fierce voice. She exhaled and stared at the silhouette. "I am quite tired of everything. I just want to stay home and be a normal person, but I can't because of these visions that keep showing." 

   She lay down on the grass and stared above to the beautiful starry sky. 

"I trust you. You are the Dragon and the disasters in this world are just starting." A soft and cold voice whispers in the wind. And when she turned to the silhouette it started getting smaller and smaller. It seemed like walking away without making any sound. 

"Oh, I got it! You got me chills babe! You are a babe right?" She asked and the woman giggled beautifully. Darn, it's a woman! 

   Andy just sighed and received a love message from her husband. She smiled and replied back. Then she gazed up at the starry sky and had fallen asleep without knowing.

   It's been three days since the Global City looked like a ghost town. He picked up the ring first and then he drove his car to the penthouse. He washed his hand as soon as he entered his penthouse that smelled like Clorox and air freshener. 

   She packed up a few of their clothes. 

"How long are we going to stay in your private villa?" She asked him. 

"When the city opens again, then we will come back." He told and then he washed his face and soaped it well. 

"Okay. I bought enough stocks since people are having this panic buying and also, don't worry my beloved, I will make you fat." She winked at him. 

   Andel stopped and looked down at his stomach. 

"But you probably need to work hard as well to trim your muscles. I can't let you look fat. You need a healthy body and I love your lean body." She winked. 

   He grinned at her and then washed his face. After the dry his face, he strode to her and kissed her lips. 

"In my villa, we got a garden of vegetables there. My caretakers are doing well and they sell in a few cities." 

"Great! Then, I am excited!" She jumped on him and kissed his nose. "Let's go and leave this crowded city." 

   Andel and Ellen left the city and took a ten-hour drive to the isolated Villa located in Bicol. Although it was a long drive. It was worth it. The scenery is so beautiful and the garden and the Spanish style two-story rest house. 

"Wow." Ellen twirled around and then ran to him and hugged him tightly. Then she looked around. "Where are your caretakers?" 

"They are now in the garden to pick up fresh vegetables. They want to taste your good cooking." He kissed her forehead. "But let's take a nap first. I know that you are tired from our long drive." 

   They have a beauty rest and Andel got up first and checked the venue for their dinner. This is it, it's going to happen. He looked around the string lights and smiled. 

"Thank you." He muttered to them and they nodded. 

   The food and everything is settled then he goes upstairs and wakes her up. She got up and brushed her teeth and brushed her hair. He waited and picked out the white dress for her. She tidied herself and make herself presentable and they go down and what she saw melted her heart. 

"Surprise!" He kissed her cheek. "Okay so, this is Mr. Raviles and his family. They take care of the villa and the farm. Also, they prepare everything here." 

"Wow. Thank you." She said and Andel pulled out the box from his pocket and then took her to the chair. Then he knelt down and lifted the box. 

   Ellen gaped as she stared at him. Her heart races and her stomach flutters. 

"My baby, I know that I already asked you to marry me. But I want this to be official yet secret." 

"Andel…" She murmured. 

"Ellen, will you marry me and be my wife and my lover until we grow old and may dissolve in the soil?" 

   Ellen bit her lower lip and nodded at him. Happy tears started streaming down her cheek and she sniffled. 

"I will marry you, always, Andel." 

"Good. Because I will only marry you for the rest of my life."
