Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

Chapter 669 - Rich-Poor Kids Part 2

Boston International Airport,

        Kale ready for everything and his flight is at 9:00 PM. He's finally going back to the country and Esme is turning eighteen. He also ready bouquets back in the Philippines and gifts for her from this country. He sat down as he waits for his flight to be called.

        Kale watched the video that Cyra is sharing and it's live. It's in the bar and Nathaniel punched the guy when he said that Natalia is a slut or something. It's fun, but it's not fun when the guy called his cousin a slut. If he's there, he's going to kill him.

        Anyway, he's far away from them. He didn't go with Nathaniel when he said that he wanted to go to Pasadena to check out the girls.

        Then, finally, his flight has been called. He commented first and he took his baggage that contains gifts for his cousins and Esme and he went to the gate.

Pasadena, Phoenix bar

        Nathaniel showed his I.D to the bouncer and they took Robert out instead. Yup. Somehow, Phoenix Bar just appeared in Pasadena. Their Aunt Freya is the one to set it up. So, every time that they feel like going to the bar, they would go somewhere safe, which is the Phoenix Bar.

        Nathaniel called a waitress and a petite girl came up.

"What a very small world," Nathaniel said.

"Isn't she the girl in the café?" Natalia asked Cyra.

"Yes." Cyra nodded.

"Hi," Kelsie smiled wide at them. "What can I get to you?"

"We need some cashews and a bucket of beers, please," Natalia said.

"Okay."

        Nathaniel gave his card to her and she took it.

"Oh, she's cute," Natalia said. "But, she looked so exhausted."

"Yeah. Eight hours working in the café and then, maybe four hours working in here?" Cyra shrugged.

        Soon, the waitress came with their drinks and she thanked him. Natalia slid a tip into her pocket which she didn't notice and they talked more and drink. Soon, their maid came up with the car. Cyra and Natalia are very much drunk.

        He still wanted to go back and hook up but the girls—Natalia pushed him out and closed the door excitedly.

"Go! Go! Go!" Natalia said excitedly as the car left.

"Damn it!" Nathaniel checked out for taxis. But maybe it's time to hook up. He went back inside and he chatted with few girls but no one caught his attention but the waitress who is serving. She got harassed and he didn't just want to watch.

7:30 AM

        Rhys is relaxing at their family's private beach. It's where they used to chillax. Their parent usually leaves them to their grandparents so, they could chill in their private island. 

He reached his phone and checked his brother's messages from Manhattan.

Raiden: Dude, can we change position.

Raiden: I don't want to work here

Raiden: I haven't get laid for years

Raiden: Okay, for months. I haven't gotten laid for months.

        Rhys laughed and put away his phone without replying. His phone continued notifying and it blasted. Rhys sighed and replied to him.

Rhys: No. Sorry, bro, let the hotties in there suck your—you know.

Raiden: Girls are experts in that thing. We should switch!

Rhys: Just come home, Esme's birthday is near.

Raiden: Whatever.

        Rhys pity his brother. But he'll be okay.

7:30 PM (Previous Day from Philippine Time)

        Raiden. They graduated last year and now, his mother is torturing him to run a penthouse and dozens of bars and clubs around America. He's acting as CEO of the company and he wanted his brother to be with him so, they can switch places.

        Raiden likes working in shadow just like Rhys. So, they don't appear in news or magazines. It's night in New York and he's in his penthouse enjoying the skyscraper. He didn't usually go out to have fun since his mother gave him a big responsibility.

"Sir, your gift is ready." His personal butler Ron told. He turned to him and nodded.

"Thank you,"

        His butler is wearing a black suit with a pin of the Knight Empire.

"Is there anything you wanted me to do, sir?"

"Arranged a ticket, first class. We are leaving for the Philippines."

"Yes, sir." He nodded and left.

        Raiden sat down and started to review a few files and signed it. Then, he called his secretary ad released the papers. Then, he picked up a few things and left the office to his COO's office. 

The COO stood and he signed him to sat down.

"I'll be leaving. It will take weeks before I get back. But I'll be working from there."

"Yes, sir." His COO Wren, his mother's right hand sat down. "It seemed that you aren't in the mood to fool around?" Wren smirked.

"Wren, tell me about it. My brother is relaxing on our private island. It's so unfair."

"Well, at least your mother isn't cutting your credit cards and debit cards."

"Mom controlled us well. While my sisters are so spoiled." He groaned. Wren laughed.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I've been the CEO for long years."

"We should change position," Raiden told and pouted at him.

"No." Wren shook his head. "I barely had enough time for my children and my wife. I don't want to go back there."

"Why? It's a big position?"

"Yes, I know."

"Bigger salary." He grinned.

"I have thirty percent shares from the company." He shrugged.

"Why won't mom just hire someone?"

"Your mom is paranoid. But it's better to be safe than sorry."

        Raiden stood.

"Alright, I'll leave everything." He winked. "You also need to go home. It's nearly eight." He quickly left Wren's office.

        Laurence arrived in the Philippines with Kade and Athena. Athena indeed brings her cat with her. She held the cat throughout their travel using a private jet that Kade owns. 

Yup. The guy looks richer than them. His father owns lots of jet planes. The same with Athena.

        Laurence didn't have his jet plane but his father does that is only used for business. He took a taxi with all of the gifts.

        It's an hour's drive back to his house. Then, the guard from the gate called out helped and he told them not to tell his parents and siblings. The guards helped him with the baggage and we walked toward the main door and opened it. The maid gasped and he put a forefinger to his lips to hush her and she nodded.

        He went to the family room and peeked at Rosie and Zayne who are busy with their coloring book and Esme is sitting on the sofa reading some novel. He sneaked to their back and he covered Esme's eyes. She touched his hand.

        Rosie and Zayne squealed and he hushed them.

"Laurence?" Esme asked. He laughed and kissed her top head. Then, he walked around as his little siblings started jumping. He knelt in front of them and kissed them both hugging them. "You are here!" Esme exclaimed. "Mom, Dad!" She called out.

        Laurence hugged her next and he kissed her top head.

"I missed you." Esme pouted at him. He chuckled and patted her head.

"How did you grow so tall?" He suddenly asked. She punched him. "I'm serious, last time you were at this height." He draws a line to his hips. "And now, you are this tall." He draws an imaginary line on his chest. "It's been a decade since I last saw you." He patted her head again.

        She pouted at him. Laurence chuckled and he knelt to hugged Zayne and Rosie again.

"I missed my baby siblings." He kissed each of them.

"Did you get something for us?" Rosie asked.

"Of course, my little Princess. I won't ever forget about you." He told. "Then, you too buddy."

"Can we have it now?" Zayne asked.

"Sure," Laurence nodded at the maids as they have his luggage.

        Laurence knew where he hid his gift for Esme's eighteenth birthday. He separated his special gift to Esme to another luggage. Then, the other one contains gifts for everyone. 

        Laurence opened the baggage and took out the paper bags with Rosie's name and then to Zayne. Esme pouted at him when he didn't give her any. He laughed and gave her a chocolate bar.

"A chocolate?"

"Yes, you love it." He winked.

"You keep bullying your sister as soon as you came back from the US." Ashaya chuckled.

"Thanks for the—chocolate," Esme said, and she sat down with creased brows. Laurence chuckled and gave her a box and paper bag. She put away the chocolate, and her smile grew wider.

        She opened the box first and took out expensive Louboutin silver shoes. She gasped and looked at him.

"That's for your birthday party." He winked.

"Okay."

        Then she took another paper bag, and her eyes widen.

"Yup. Customized Music Book for you."

"It has my name!" She showed the music books to her parents. "My initials!"

        Percy nodded, and Ashaya chuckled.

"You think that I would give you useless things, huh?" Laurence crossed his arms. She put it away and hugged him tightly.
