Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

Chapter 791 - Out Of Love Part 2

       Ashton is confused as he watches Cyra left with Butler Samson. The way she said that she needed to fix his brain is something suspicious. Is there a thing that he forgets that he shouldn't? He remembered everyone, well except for Pamela Rodriguez.

"Where's Christian?" He asked and the boys seemed to shut up.

"He's gone," Noah said.

"What do you mean, gone?"

"We'll talk about it later. For now, you have to take care of yourself." Noah said. "I have to go with my Bea. She needed a cuddle." Noah left first and hugged Ashton and even kissed him.

"Dude, don't do that!"

       Noah laughed. Jaxon and Mason did the same and left him with Pamela. It's odd. He smiled at Pamela.

"Do you need anything?" She asked.

"No. I can't eat unless the nurse gave me something to eat."

       Pamela nodded.

"I want to know you more," Pamela said. "You don't have a girlfriend, right?"

"Yeah, I don't have a girlfriend. Our job is very risky, that's why."

       She smiled at him.

"What's your favorite? So, I could ask my mom to cook it for you?"

       This is the first time that Ashton will have someone to cook for him. Well, aside from the Maids and Butlers in the Dragon Empire. He knew well how to cook but maybe, giving this beautiful woman a chance won't hurt.

       Natalia listened and watched them. She heard their conversation and it hurts her like a bi-atch. But what can she do? Ashton didn't remember anything at all. Besides, it's not his fault that he did not remember his promise. But telling it to him at this moment is too late. Ashton seemed to be fond of her. She had sleepless nights waiting for him and for taking care of him. She seemed to lose weight already just like Bea. But Bea is well at this moment. Noah is alive and well.

"Another heartbreak." It is all that she muttered after she stepped out of the bathroom.

       She was drinking a bottle of wine while on the hot bathtub full of bubbles and watching Ashton and the girl talk about each other. She knew well that Ashton is letting the woman into his life. What can she do about it? Nothing! Ashton only promised to get back to her to have sex with her. He didn't promise anything besides that.

       She sighed with a heavy heart. She dried herself with the towel and she threw it. She then crawled to her bed and covered the fleece blanket to her naked body. She shoved her face to her pillows as she let out the thing that she's been keeping.

       When Ashton was shot in the head, she didn't cry because she needed to control her emotions to save him by activating the nanomites up to his head. When she's operating him, she contained herself again from crying because she needed to save him. But now, he looked comfortable with the damsel in distress that he saved and her heart is aching.

       No one ever sees her cry like this and she does it when she's alone. She can control all of her emotions in front of anyone but not when she's alone. Compared to her, Ashton got easily swayed by someone else. Maybe, he thought that he's just an heiress that he needed to protect and a friend. Never did he think of her as a woman. Now, she's giving him up and letting him be with her.

       Cyra had fruits and foods with her. She knocked at Natasha's room but she didn't answer. She is already sleeping hugging a pillow. She slept on an empty stomach and finished two bottles of wine. She sighed and put the food on the table and she set water on the side table close to her. Once she left her room, she went back to her room. She dismissed Butler Samson an hour ago.

       She went back to her room to sleep. It felt like she only had closed her eyes when her alarm started bothering her. It was turned off and someone pulled the duvet over her shoulder. It's probably Tucker who let her sleep.

"Tucker?" She mumbled.

"Yes, Lady Cyra?"

"I need more sleep."

"Sure." He left her room and slowly closed it.

       She hasn't had enough sleep for days since the best agents and snipers that are in the mission are in critical conditions. But all of them are safe now, because of the nanomites. She pulled the pillow and hugged it. She needed more time to sleep.

       After two hours, it's enough for her to go back to work. She sat up, stretched her arms, went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. When she left her room wearing a robe, Butler Samson pulled a chair for her and she sat down and sipped on her tea. Natalia showed up and the three of them sat down to eat.

"Did you have a good sleep?" Cyra asked her.

"Yes." Natalia nodded and she finished her hot chocolate and ate. But she stopped eating after a few scoops of fried rice. She stared down at the food.

"I'm done."

"There are a lot of people suffering from hunger. You need to at least finish on what's on the plate." Cyra said.

       Natalia nodded. Cyra is right. She finished her food on her plate and she drank her water. She stood and left. She looked at Butler Samson who was also worried.

"If there's only a medicine for heartbreak." Butler Samson said.

"I know," Cyra sipped on her hot chocolate gracefully. "But Ashton is having breakfast with Pamela which he is fond of. While Natalia here is torturing herself because of whatever Ashton promised."

"And I already called Xavier, he will be here soon." Butler Samson said. 

"Maybe I need to smack Ashton's head once or twice to get back his memories. Don't you think?"

       Butler Samson laughed and covered his mouth with the table napkin.

"Lady Cyra, I think that's a very brutal thing to do."

       Cyra chuckled.

"I was only thinking. So, Natalia will get back to work normally. But this is not what I wanted to see. She didn't eat at the time that the team was on a mission to rescue Miss Rodriguez. She also didn't sleep. Now, both of them are safe but in exchange for that, Ashton is slowly falling in love with the damn-sel in distress."

"Did you just say damn?"

"Yes." Cyra nodded and exhaled.

"Do you hate the woman that admired Ashton for saving her?"

"No. I don't hate her. It???s just—Ashton is stupid to forget such a wonderful thing. I mean, I am willing to take a steel bat and smack it right into his head."

"Lady Cyra, that's bad." Tucker took a glass of water and sipped on it. "I'll suggest other things."

"Like what?"

"Make them talk to each other. Or show him the video."

"Ashton is already occupied on the promised dinner that Miss Rodriguez set. I'm sending her out today so she won't bother Ashton."

       Once that's presentable enough after taking a bath and grooming herself, she went to Ashton's room wearing a white coat. Natalia is checking everything and she's not talking or saying anything although Ashton seemed to be talking to her.

"I feel good. I can do push-ups. I can show it to you." Ashton said. "When can I get my food?"

"The nurse will deliver it." She said monotonously.

"Aren't you going to congratulate me for making it alive?"

       Natalia stopped and turned to him.

"Congrats."

       She turned back from him and left.

"Talia! Well, give me a congratulatory drink after this!"

       Natalia left the room without saying anything. Ashton looked at Cyra.

"Is it the day of the month?" Ashton asked. Cyra crossed her arms.

"You are stupid."

"What?" Ashton asked puzzled. "What did I do?"

"Nothing. I just said that you are stupid." Cyra said. "Butler Samson, do you have that steel bat that I need? I feel like I need to whip it to his head."

"Woah! Cyra, you are a crazy girl. Don't do that."

"You just said that I'm crazy. And I'm indeed crazy." She said monotonously.

       Ashton slowly slipped off from the bed on the other side away from Cyra.

"She sounds serious." He said.

"Oh, don't cry like a baby. It'll be quick and you'll feel nothing." Cyra smiled, showing her teeth like a psychopath.

"Help!" Ashton screamed and the longer he looked at Cyra, the more his goosebumps got crazy. Cyra took a step forward and he screamed like a girl.

       Cyra laughed out loud like evil queens or witches would do. She continued laughing and she left with Butler Samson. Ashton exhaled and reached his chest. Damn it's making him jumpy every time that evil genius would smile and laugh like that. It's not funny at all. He knew well that Cyra could manipulate them.

       The door opened and he looked at Aria who laughed.

"Wow, I never thought that you could scream like a little bi-atch." Aria laughed out loud. "And I captured it." She said. "By the way, here's your phone." She put his phone on the table. Aria and Asher used to confiscate it when they are off to their missions.
