Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

Chapter 243 - Bound To Live Part 2

 Zachary flipped the papers and then he nodded. He gave them his drafts and the team started working on how to make it. He will focus on his creation until it's done. He's not used to letting all his employees plan for it. He created and planned and he let them build it. 

"I will give you a week for a new update." He stood and took his phone and left the Research Team Conference Room. 

 He sighed and proceeded to his office then once he sat down, he took out his beeper and sent a message to his wife. After a few moments, he smiled when he received a short and thoughtful message. He requested a tea and then he continued working. 

 A knock on the door stopped him from encoding and then he looked up. James entered and stood in front of him. He pulled his eyeglasses and put them down. 

"I am already processing it all." 

"I need more of it." He said softly and quickly. 

"I will do it," Zach told him. James paced back and forth. 

"Natalie is not like us… she's not like Andromeda who could protect herself and fight anyone." 

"You are underestimating your wife," Zach said. He gave him a few details of his plan. "Since he's your wife, you should start teaching her how to be a Mondragon. Every Mondragon should know how to protect themselves." 

 James looked away and thought about it for a moment. 

"James, you know what to do. You are a Mondragon after all." He picked up his pen lazily. 

"I know." James put a hand to his waist and looked up. "I will do this and," he pointed his finger up in front of him. "Don't tell me what to do!" He hissed. 

"I am simply suggesting here, dear brother." He told and winked at him. "Just helped her with the defenses including on how to hold a gun. Every Mondragon had a great marksman. You know what I mean." He grinned. 

"Okay!" James turned back. Zach is the third person that beat her in the firing. His grandfather was first and his sister is the second. Damn it. He's been practicing his marksmanship besides the physical. "Let's have lunch." He peeks at his watch. "Right now." 

 Zach hands up and called his secretary. 

"Cancel my appointment of 1300H." 

"Yes, sir." 

"Are you happy now that I give time for you?" He asked and tidied his documents then took his phone and wallet. 

"Yes. I am happy." James said and grabbed Zach and then threw his arms to him. They left the building and they were followed with a couple of guards. They went to the Japanese restaurant and there James's wife was waiting. 

"Natalie," Zach greeted her warmly and then looked around at the Japanese food in silverware. "Huh, I never thought that they would prepare silverwares in this little lunch?" He glanced at James. 

"Yes, since this restaurant is part of our franchising, I suggest using silverware every time we dine, so we could detect if there's poison in our food." James pulled out a chair for his wife and the sliding door closed. 

"Wow, you are getting smarter." Zach teased. James reached for his silver chopstick and sneered at him. 

"I am not stupid Zachary." James hissed at him. Natalie giggled and gave her attention to her husband and then to Zachary. James clicked his tongue and glared at Zach. "You don't have to serve Zach as well. Just focus on me." 

 Zachary laughed and covered his mouth. Natalie bit her lower lip to avoid laughing and glanced at Zach who continued to laugh loud.

 They plan their first attack to sabotage them and keep them away from the place that they are searching for. It's been more years since they started digging into the treasure. Fin burnt all the research so no one would know the place where they've been. 

"You need to go, Andel," Andy said and looked at him. "It's to go. You need to do more research and relax. Got it?" 

 Andel nodded and started packing his things. He made sure that his stones are perfectly fine. He hid it carefully and then he waved at them as Fin escorted him. The three of them are left in the treehouse and wait for tomorrow's creation for their big surprise. 

"So," Freya started and took a bottle of booze from his backpack. 

"Wow." Moira took it and checked it. "Just what we need." 

 While grilling a fish, they started rounding a shot glass. Andy couldn't help but laugh at whatever they are talking about. They don't know how they end up talking about sex with their partners. 

*** 

"You think they will be fine without us?" Fin asked Andel. 

"Yeah. They are probably talking about us." Andel muttered and stopped when they reached the road. He smiled and took one of the motorbikes and left. 

 Fin went back as fast as he could and it's nearly dawn when he heard laughing girls. It seemed that they all got along. He wondered how. When he reaches the camp, there's a bonfire, a bottle of finished booze and they are rounding another bootle. 

"Fin!" Moira squealed and she pulled him to her seat. "Drink." She gave him the bottle. 

"Woah! Girls, you are drunk." 

"We are not drunk," Andy said and then she patted Fin's head. "We are simply having fun." She muttered. "Maybe we could do this back to our country. Clubbing, right?" She suggested. 

"I am on it!" Freya lifted the bottle. 

 Fin swallowed hard and stared at Freya. Freya will be more dangerous when she gets drunk like this. She stood and reached for her gun. 

"I think it's time to remove Yves Kuznetsov's balls." 

"Wait!" Fin stood and lifted her chin. 

"Monkey! Give me the knife! Moira, we got surgery to do!" 

"I am on it!" Moira stood and followed when Moira took a step, she tripped and she laughed and rolled on the ground. 

 Freya took her balance and after a few steps she fell on the ground and that's it. She passed out. 

"Oh, geez." Fin smacked his forehead and looked at Andromeda who was surprised. 

"Well, I think I should go to Kuznetsov and remove his balls since two are down." 

"Damn it." Fin held Andromeda down and helped her upstairs. He pushed her down on the nest bed that he made, and he went down to pick Moira to carry her up the tree and then Freya. 

 As a brother, he needed to guard his sisters who are a pain in the ass. 

"I am done with the three of you." Fin said aloud and what he only heard is their soft breathing. He grunted and went down to eat.

 Selina continued her work as managing their Shopping Center from home. Fin didn't want her to leave the house and greet so many people. Well, she had no choice but to simply stay home and try not to get contact since the virus is still viral in a few countries. There are reported people in the country to be positive in the virus. Although it's not in the city, she still must take Fin's requests. Her tummy is also growing and she's waiting for his arrival. 

"I make another dish!" Ellen who stayed with her for a few days made her eat a lot of delicious foods. Selina is watching out for her weight, but she couldn't help but eat and she gained a little weight. She did daily exercise, best for her pregnancy and Ellen is helping her out with yoga. 

 They even had their instructor and she's glad that her best friend Ellen is there to support her. They plan for their business since Selina invested in her restaurant. It was a success. The food, the décor, the ambiance… they are already franchising it with Ellen's unique dishes. She's a genius when it comes to creation and she loved every dish that she's preparing. Although it was all trial and error. 

"I am loving this chicken buffalo you make with ginger," Selina muttered. 

"I am glad that you love it. Don't worry, I'll make more for you and our baby." Ellen said happily. 

"Thank you for staying." 

"Hmm. Yeah, I need to get my mind out for a while. And being here in your kitchen is very comforting. I can make more recipes." 

"I feel sleepy." Selina yawned. "I'll just take a nap and wake me up if you are ready to present me the new recipe." 

 Selina went to bed and she felt a little dizzy. Her head hurt a little and her eyes as well like every time she closed her eyes she saw scenarios like a dream. She slowly drifted to sleep and a dream started playing on her mind. 

 She dreamed of the happenings in her life and how she nearly died. There are many times that she nearly died and Fin is always there to protect her. She finally dreamed of something good. Her stomach got bigger and bigger and then Fin was there and he kissed her. Then it rolls again where they are sitting in his beautiful garden. 

 Their babies are running around and Fin is laughing while watching their children playing around. The other one is in a ninja outfit and the other one is wearing an armor. 

"You are bound to live. As long as I am with you, we will grow old together." Fin muttered and kissed her lips.

 Then she suddenly woke up from the beautiful dream and a tear fell from her eyes. She cried her eyes out and thought of Fin. She just missed him dearly. She reached for her phone and tried to contact him but he's just out of reach.
