Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

       Xavier pushed up the eye mask and he wiped his wet cheeks. His heart seemed to be in pain. He breathed slowly and he pulled his blanket. Everyone on the plane seemed to be sleeping. He removed his seatbelt and went to the toilet. He locked it and he leaned on the wall as he thought of Athena and the lucid dream.

       He calmed himself and went back to his seat. He looked at her mother who was sleeping. He gently pulled up the blanket so she won't get cold. Xavier sat down and he took out his phone to check on Athena's photos. He put his earphones on. He covered his head with the blanket and watched his videos with Athena. He had to delete a few useless videos and fill it up with her.

       He smiled as he watched her work out in her gym in the penthouse. She looked so sexy and he smacked her butt and whistled. Athena chuckled and did the same to him. Then, they kiss and who knows what will happen next. There's so much memory in a very short time. He cherished it all.

       The hours of flight ended and they landed in California San Francisco. They moved to a nicer house and his mother promised him to buy a mansion in L. A. once that the business grew. At first, he thought that he would just stay in the Philippines and the dream house that he bought will be repaired to Athena's liking. It's not as big as their house but he wanted to give her something.

"Oh, Kylie is here," Marga said and pulled him. Xavier almost rolled his eyes and he smiled at Kylie. Kylie and her mother are closed and they hugged each other. Then, Kylie wrapped her arms around his waist. She tiptoed to kiss his lips but she only reached his chin.

"It's Christmas," Kylie looked at him with those kitty eyes. She's the woman that Athena saw back in the mall.

       Xavier gently pushed her and took the bags. He didn't say anything. Kylie pouted and she still drove them back to the house that her mother purchased. They aren't living in a shabby apartment anymore since he earned dollars in the Philippines. He earned a million if they sent him to be undercover for some mission.

       He looked around at the house and her mother showed him to his room. He put his bags there and he started unpacking. He didn't bring lots of clothes. He will leave soon after his vacation leave is done.

       The door opened and Kylie entered. She hugged him from behind and he unwrapped her arms from him.

"Xavier, I heard what happened. We can always get back together."

"I won't be in any relationship," Xavier said. Kylie rolled her eyes.

"Is it because of that girl again?" She scoffed. "Are you that much in love with her? Was she better am I in bed?"

       Xavier didn't have time to answer all of it. He stared at her and then he approached the door and opened it wide.

"Please leave. You can stay where the guests stay."

       Kylie sighed and approached him.

"Okay, if that's what you want. But I'll come back." She patted his chest and she left. Xavier locked the room. He didn't want to be disturbed.

       He went to his bathroom, turned on the heater, and went to his balcony. There's a lot around their house. He will probably clean that up later.

"Xavier," His mother knocked on the door and squeezed the door. She knocked again.

       He went to the door and opened it. She smiled tightly.

"Why are you rude towards Kylie?"

"I'm not rude. I just want to be alone." He spoke.

"Let's have dinner."

"I'm not hungry."

"Xavier,"

"Mother, please.�� He begged. "Please let me be."

       Marga never saw his son begged like this. She let go of the doorknob and let him close it. Xavier locked it and he went to the bathroom.

       Zendaya looked at Casey. She's the one that has a photographic memory. At this moment they are in Casey's room in the Lawson rest house, she waited for the list of people that could betray them. Casey is thinking deep as she assessed it in her mind. She didn't know yet. It'll be a great set up. If there's a double agent, then they could detect it.

"Something isn't right," Casey said.

"Yes, so, who did you assess?"

"Mason."

       I creased my brows.

"Mason?"

"Yes, Chelsea said something to me. Like Mason changed after ditching her from the bar."

"How?"

"His height, he became short. She��s good at measuring, so she's sure that he's wearing a hidden heel to have the same height as Mason."

       Zendaya found it out.

"He's not the real Mason. They use a silicone mask to cover it up with Mason's face." Zendaya said as she smirked. "They are using the same trick as we did."

"Because of the data that has been leaked," Casey said.

       If they find out about their double agent inside that Empire, Zendaya will be damned. If they have Mason, he might not be able to come back to them. She needed to plan further. She needed to mention it to her mother. 

       A soft knock on the door made both of them stop. The door opened, and Chelsea sneaked inside slowly.

"What's up?" Casey asked.

"Well, I was going to ask Mason out." Chelsea pressed her lips.

"What?" Zendaya exclaimed with creased brows. "Why are you asking him out when he should ask you out?"

       Chelsea rolled her eyes.

"I was joking about renting him as my boyfriend to push away this suitor that I don't even like. But it's like he forgot so, I'm asking him out."

       Casey tilted her head and crossed her arms.

"Did you have a vision about Mason?"

       Chelsea seemed to be taken aback by her question. She nodded.

"I need to know," Zendaya said.

"He's in a cell, and he's been tortured by the Eagle Empire."

       Zendaya stood from her seat and left. Just as she expected. She went downstairs to the family to see everyone who was laughing. But not Athena. She grabbed Athena's hand and dragged her.

"What's going on?"

"You are heartbroken, and I want you to date someone else."

       Athena rolled her eyes and let her cousin take her to Mason who is speaking with Noah.

"Mason," Zendaya called.

"Yes?"

"Date Athena until she forgot Xavier." She pushed Athena to Zendaya. Athena didn't expect Zendaya's intention but Zendaya gestured to her to do it.

       Athena faced Mason.

"I don't want to date you."

"Come on, you need to. It might mend your broken heart." Mason said. 

       Zendaya glanced at Chelsea who mouthed her what's going on. Zendaya only winked. Chelsea rolled her eyes.

"Oh, fuck this." Athena faced Mason and smiled. "Yes, let's date."

       Mason chuckled. Athena pulled Mason's cheeks and stared into his eyes seriously.

"I'm serious."

"Y-Yes, Lady Athena."

       Athena smiled beautifully and kissed his cheek.

"I'll just grab something to drink." She winked at Mason and walked past Chelsea.

"See? No one is going to be left out for New Year. Does everyone have someone to kiss this new year?" Zendaya asked.

"It's not even Christmas yet." Chelsea snorted and left. Zendaya laughed.

"Chels, don't be jelly!" Zendaya grinned at her.

       Noah noticed Mason's reaction, and he knew well that something was going on with him for these past few days. Everyone should be happy this December, but it seemed like there is always a nightmare before December. Probably not just one nightmare. There are more coming.

       Noah looked around the people. A-list Agents from EPUA are here, the legends and their heirs and heiresses. It's a perfect shot for their Enemies to fire a missile, but they couldn't because they knew well that even the four Empires have missile detectors.

"So, Athena is the heiress of EPUA, and why did she ask me for a date?" Mason asked.

"She's brokenhearted, why not date her?" Noah patted him.

"Babe!" Bea called. "Come on!" She waved.

"I gotta go. I need to attend my lady."

       Noah hugged Bea from behind and kissed her ear.

"So, how do you want to do it today?" He murmured.

"You know well," Bea smirked.

       They left the crowd and went to their room. Noah immediately removed his clothes since he's been waiting for it. But Bea stopped him from taking off the pants.

"What?"

       Zendaya came out from the wardrobe with Athena.

"Babe, I don't want foursome with your cousins!" He hissed. Bea smacked his chest as Athena and Zendaya snickered. Noah covered his chest as the two teased him by looking at him from head to toe.

"Okay, that's enough." Bea covered Noah.

"Well," Athena crossed her arms. "I have no interest in your man."

"Okay, we are not here to talk about Noah and his oozing body. My man has that too." Zendaya said and crossed her arms. "Since we trust you fully, Noah, tell us what you find out about Mason?"

"What about Mason?" Noah asked looking puzzled. 

       Chelsea came out of the closet, and she showed her phone.

"The Mason with us is not the real Mason."

"What the fu--! That's why he didn't want to do it with us." Noah said. Bea creased her brows.

"Do what?" She asked with grimed eyes. Noah scratched his head. He and his mouth are going to ruin it.
