Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

Chapter 238 - Shadows In The Forest Part 2

   Andromeda awoke from the chill and when she opened her eyes, what she saw was a silhouette of a person wearing a hood and cape? She wasn't sure but it looked totally grim in the outfit. She held her gun ready to fire anytime. But after she blinked, the figure disappeared. She looked around and it wasn't night anymore. 

   The sun is rising, and Moira is still sleeping. She reached her chest and breathed. What was that? She muttered to her head. Is the treehouse haunted? She slipped off from her sleeping bag and put her gun on the holster. She looked around. It has a great view. She looked down and found Fin boiling water and Andel is still sleeping with a baby bear hugging him. 

   She smiled and adore how the baby bear snuggled to Andel. She pulled out her micro-camera and captured that moment. She waved at Fin and he waved back. She put her boots on and then climbed down from the big tree. Then she went to the river to wash her face. She removed her boots and slipped on the water to reach the basket that trapped the fishes. She checked it one by one and then took two of it. She carried it back to their camp and Fin nodded at her. 

"I was about to get it." He said, 

"I need to help at least. I also brought salt, so we have a tasty meal every time." She winked. 

"That's great." Fin ready the woodchopper and he cleaned up the fish. Then he rubbed the salt on it. 

   Andy gathered a few spices and since she already stayed in the forest or jungle for a few months back then, she knew types of spices that are poisonous. After she collected the spices, she went back to their camp and helped him with food. Moira came from the river with Andel who is topless and carrying a baby bear. 

"You become a father instantly," Andy said. 

"I don't know how I become this close to animals. Ellen calls me Big bear." He said with a priceless smile. He's probably thinking about her at that moment. 

"I already got a souvenir." She captured him again and he gave his phone to her. She took photos of the bear with him. "This is for Ellen." 

"Let's eat guys." Fin said. "We have a long way to go to get those stones." 

   They ate happily and talked about the plans and she didn't open about the weird thing that happened to her a while ago. Moira packed up their food and she prepared the things that they needed for their trip. 

   It was a three hours hike to the mountains where they will get those stones that these men needed for their lover. Fin is too active the same with Andel. Andy and Moira looked at each other and giggled. 

"Can you boys give us those as well?" Moira asked. 

"You have your own man, let them do it," Andel said and excitedly strode up the mountain. 

   Moira laughed and kept moving. Fin stopped when he heard a sound of gorilla growling. He immediately signed them to hide. They ran in different directions and hid.

   Freya didn't know why she let Steven bring her to his own house. It's quiet and in high tech security and he didn't need a bodyguard. There's no one inside, not even a maid. But the house is not that big as a mansion. It's wide and just a two-story one and it has a wide garden and a pool and a small jacuzzi for four. 

   He turned on the jacuzzi and then the lights on the pool. It's already dark and they just arrived from staying a little with Selina. She's not dreaming of how she killed her but what's next? She saw something in Madagascar. She usually followed her gut and this time, she's very uneasy and trying to hold it. 

"Are you sure that you are fine?" He asked for the second time. Although she replied to him that she's fine, deep inside she wasn't. She's already messed up because of the vision. 

"No." She finally agreed with her mind that she's not fine. Damn, this is harder than she thought. 

"Well, if you are that stressed, let's just go inside and have sex." He picked her up and then he removed her clothes. 

   Once he started kissing her, all of her worries faded. Until they are doing it on his bed. After great sex, she stayed in his arms while overthinking about her gut. She sat up and glanced outside. Steven caressed her sexy back. 

"What is it?" He asked. 

"Let's go outside to jacuzzi." She suggested. "Then maybe a nice drink?" 

"Okay." He kissed her lips. "I'll settle it." He slipped off from the bed and went to the closet and took the robe. He put it and tied it around his waist then he took another and put it on her. "Wait there. What drink do you want?" He asked. 

"Uhm, anything…" She answered and tie the robe properly.

"Champagne will do." 

       They walk downstairs and she went to the patio to the pool. She turned on the heater of the jacuzzi and she waited for him as she sat beside it. 

       Steven went to his wine cellar and choose the best champagne he reserved. He went to the kitchen and check the fridge. Well, there's at least fruits that have been stocked lately by their butler. Since he planned to bring her here, he made sure that everything is good including fresh foods. 

       He started chopping few fruits and put it on the bow with finger sticks. He put it all in the tray and he strode to the pool and found her already relaxing on the jacuzzi. Naked. He smiled and then put the tray over the wall of the jacuzzi and then he removed his robe and joined her. 

"Come here, darling." He grabbed her waist and hugged her tightly from behind. "What are you thinking about now?" He asked. 

"I need to follow my gut." She muttered and lean on him. 

"Well, that's a good idea, right?" He rubbed her core and kisses her neck. 

"Yeah." She muttered and tapped his arm. "Open the bottle."

       He reached the bottle and open it with a loud pop. The foam of the champagne runs down to her shoulder and neck. He chuckled and licked it all. She bit her lip. It always sent a tingle to her. She then reached the champagne flute and let him pour it on each glass. 

"Tell me about this gut of yours." He put away the bottle and reached the other glass from her. He clinked his glass to her and wrapped his free arms around her. 

"It's classified." She sipped on her champagne with a sigh. 

"Hmm. They are more important than me?" 

"Yes." She said bluntly without thinking that she might hurt him. Steven felt a little pinch on his chest. Well, he understood her. She doesn't care about anyone and all she thought of him is just a sex mate.

       Andromeda glared at the drones. She pulled out the gadget that her husband gave and pointed it on the drone. She shot it with the stunning needle and the drone electrified and exploded. They all looked at Andromeda. 

       Then she turned around and found a shadow on the corner. She creased her brows and she slowly followed the person in cape. They were dumbfounded and they follow her. 

"Andy," Moira hissed. 

       Andromeda didn't stop and follow the shadow. She doesn't know why she's following it. Fin grabbed her elbow that made her stop. She turned to Fin. 

"No." He said. "Let's get the stones first." 

"You saw that?" She said. 

"What?" He asked. "What did you saw?" 

       She shook her head and followed them to the cave. They reached the cave where they get the stones. She saw how the boys are happy as they searched for the stones that would catch their eyes. It takes a little time and Moira just picked a single stone. 

       Andel took an amethyst and a diamond in the size of a coin. While Fin took a Blue Diamond. He exhaled and he smiled. He put it on the small velvet box and to his pouch. He then slid it to his secret pocket. 

"Let's go?" Andy asked and reached Alexandrite and put it in her pocket. She needed the stone to at least give it to her mom and then customize one for her future baby girl. Well, she had decided. She will soon have a baby with Zach. She needed to have an heir or heiress and she needed to make it up to her husband. 

"I think it's enough this day." Andel stretched out and looked around. "Are we ready to go?" He asked excitedly. 

"You are just too excited to go home," Andy muttered. She stopped when she noticed a silhouette on the corner. She pulled out her gun and pointed to the direction.
