Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

Chapter 625 - Lawson Heiress Part 2

        She saw it with her eyes as the girl kissed him passionately, and since he's tall, she almost climbed up to him and do it there. He pulled her down and he stared at her for a while.

"What are you doing?" He hissed at her.

        She turned back from them and her bodyguard covered her as she ordered three lemonades. She waited there.

"What? It's not like we hadn't done it." The girl said.

"What do you want? I am busy."

"Well, I have something for you. I just bought it. Let's go to my house, later." 

        Their voice seemed to be fading and she looked at how Xavier let the woman cling to him. Then, he pulled his arm away from her and she still hugged him.

"Busy?" She mumbled to herself.

She scoffed and crossed her arms. So, much for busy, but here he is in the mall dating some girl. They weren't official together, but he said that he loved her. The most thing that she hates most is making her look like a fool. 

From the conversation, Xavier didn't like how the woman clings to him and kiss him. But he still let her though he already promised to someone. But she had no control toward him.

She took her lemonade and her bodyguards also took theirs. They went to the direction where Xavier and the girl go. She stopped when they entered a pleasure shop. She suddenly felt crushed. Really? Do they need to go there? Well, she's not going there.

She went to the store for kids and buy Lizzi and Vannah something. Those kids are something to her. They are adorable and she always gave them gifts as she does to her little cousins. She bought each of them a hair clip butterfly and flowers. They would love it.

        She bought a few of it and they put it in a beautiful box and wrapped it up. Then, she took it and she walked out of the store. She glanced at the pleasure shop. It's tinted glass doors so, no one could see what's in there until they enter.

        She walked to the escalator and stood as it goes down.

"Athena!" Someone shouted. She looked up to Xavier, the girl is beside him. She only looked at him and then face the front and ignored it. "Athena!" She stepped out of the escalator and walked briskly with her bodyguards. "Athena, wait!"

        She continued ignoring him and her car is just outside waiting. The valet opened the door for her and one of the bodyguards pushed Xavier.

"Athena," Xavier called breathlessly. Athena only looked at him coldly and then she entered the car. "Athena, let me explain." He said and knocked on the door. The bodyguards entered the car and it drove away.

        She didn't know why she became this cold. She didn't want to hear him. She saw it with her eyes. Besides, it's not the only thing that she hated. He didn't contact her anymore. She kept thinking every night if she did something wrong, but she kept re-reading their conversation. There're no words that she sent that would make him upset. She thought that it was her that has a mistake but it's like, he just got tired of her.

        Xavier pulled out his phone and try to call her number many times but the number doesn't exist anymore. He exhaled. He's indeed busy and he kept sending her messages, but she didn't reply even once.

"Xavier, who was that?" Kylie asked and crossed her arms.

"It's none of your business." He said coldly and left her. Athena might've seen him going into the pleasure shop with Kylie. Kylie is his ex-girlfriend and yeah, they screw a lot back then but never did it to anyone after he met Athena.

"That's Athena?" She creased her brows.

"Yes, and she might've seen what you did." He said sarcastically. "I should've just listened to mom and go in here."

"I'm here, Xavier," She took his hand. "We could play tonight." She grinned at him. He pulled his hand from her and leave her there with a red face. Completely angry at himself.

        He glanced at his wristwatch. He needed to leave and pack to go to hospitals to start his research.

        Athena packed her clothes without resting. Then, they went to a restaurant first before going straight to the airport where their jet plane is waiting. It's a fancy restaurant and the host greeted them and escorted them to their table.

        Gabriel pulled a chair for her mother and her and then, they sat down and order their food.

"The triplets just called me, and they are going to have a party at their Uncle Enzo's house," Sabrina said.

"Ah, Catriona will surely spank Enzo for that." Gabriel laughed.

"I know, right? But it will be on the rest house that they rarely use. So, not in the mansion. Somehow, Cat's triplets are planning it for a week without telling their mother."

"They are already adults. They can do what they wanted." Gabriel said.

"Well, Catriona knew that two of them are playboys. Probably, there's a photo leaked that I think it's one of them who is lying in the bed with naked girls."

        Gabriel laughed out loud.

"I won't let our triplets participate in an orgy. That's just gross and unsafe."

"Please, let's not talk about sex in this lunch." Athena rolled her eyes.

"Sorry, darling." Gabriel chuckled.

        Athena stared at the glass window as she sighed depressingly.

"What's wrong? You've been quiet since we got here. Did something happen?" Sabrina asked.

"Nothing." She answered casually and sipped on her water.

        Sabrina knew that something is bothering her. So, she remained quiet and didn't ask her anymore. They ate their lunch and Sabrina spotted a person that is part of her dark miserable past. She's cleaning the tables. Then, a person came up to tell her what to do next.

"Wifey?" Gabriel reached her hand and looked at where she's looking but the person that she was watching turned back and went back inside. Gabriel turned his head to her and asked her with a questioning look. She only smiled and squeeze his hand.

"Oh, here goes our lunch. I'm starving." Sabrina said to divert his attention

"It's just a little exercise," Gabriel said and they grinned at each other.

        Athena rolled her eyes. She knew well about that exercise. Bunch of horny parents and Demetria is right about that.

        After lunch, they walked around a bit and drink coffee or tea in a café and her parents are talking more and more, and then, they ride on the limousine again to the airport. It didn't take long when they reached the airport and another flight to New York.

        Zendaya kept cuddling with the white Tiger and the Lions. She kept taking footage and photos for her souvenir.

"Can we take them to the Philippines?" She suddenly asked.

"Honey, we can't." Andy shook her head. "They should remain here. This is the safest place for them. Not a single person could go in here but us."

        Zendy pouted. She already loved them and then the cubs. They slept with them for a night and then they hike back out of the jungle. Her mother had the scroll again. Somehow, she only put it there for a while and then take it after she checked something.

"What's in the scroll?" Zendaya asked.

"Somehow, nothing came up in the scroll," Andy said. "Maybe, the Eagle Empire won't reach it to the top." She shrugged.

"So, you use that for such calamity or something?" Zendy asked.

"Yeah," Andy answered.

"I already missed them. I feel like I wanted to bring them to our house and play with them more."

"Honey, you can always visit but you should be cautious only us in the family could go there. Understand?"

"Yes, mom."

        Freya stopped and she nearly fell. Fin caught her. She closed her eyes as she had vision and Zendaya focused and stared at her for a while to see what's she's seeing.

        It's night. They are in a simple rest house. They are celebrating and then, Christian proposed to Demi. It was indeed a big celebration. Suddenly, on the lawn, their guards fell on the ground one by one. Needles are attacking them on their neck like a bee. 

        Without knowing, they continuously celebrate. Aria said something or it was Casey and there are red lasers in the sky. The guards that were left told them to go inside. Christian never leave outside until everyone is secured. But before they even close the door, and the security alarm is blinking, those big drones at least three of it started firing the house and it hit Christian in the back many times, protecting Demi. 

"Christian!" Demi screamed. The guards covered it with an armor shield as they close the door. Everyone ducked down and hide for some safety. 

        Demi held Christian in her arms as she cries. 

"Don't let go, okay? Stay awake, keep your eyes on me." She reached his face. 

"De-Dem," He uttered. "I—I love you. I never—got to say it when you are awake." 

"I know…" Demi hiccupped. "I know."
